CRISIS IN RUBBER TRAFFIC.
United States Consul Pickeren at

sui Pickerell 1T Para, BRAZIL. in report
today says that all realize that some
thing must be done to meet present low
conditions and any one that can pro-

opportunity to talk and show his goods.
During the last fiscal year the United
States took 219,375 metric tons less than
was taken by Europe and 100000 tons less
than. the direct American purchasers in
the previous fiscal year. Financial con-
ditions did not permit American import
ers to buy direct when prices were at
their lowest and they are now and have
been for some time getting part of their
supplies through Europe.
The effect of the low prices, the report
ADDS. is even more startling. 1t is said
that the state of Para alone will suffer u
loss in revenue of $2.OO0.OOO for the last
fiscal year and individual houses are now

Wiley CATCHES WATER BUG
OTHERWISE IT'S KNOWN AS
THE COLON BACILLUS.v
Large Quantity of Spring Water In

DR.. H. w. Wiley of the bureau of chem
istry of the Department of Agriculture.
associate Of the Royal Chemical Society
of Great Britain. member Of the French
Legion of Honor and few other things
is on the trail of the colon bacillus. The
medium through which. according to the
bureau of chemistry. the colon bacillus
is menacing Washington is the Great
Bear spring water. There were $50 cases
and many demijohns of this water seized
by the United States marshal yesterday,
and the case was formally heard before
Justice Clabaugh in the District Supreme
Court and set for hearing October 10.
But this is only the start of the crusade.
The bureau of chemistry is going out into
the highways and soda fountains and
elsewhere and will hale into court all
bottled waters suspected of contaminat-
ing or being con: animated. This Is bad
news for the colon bacillus family. for
when Dr. Wiley uppercuts a germ. the
germ might as well take the full count
before the doctor gets 1t down with a
strange hold and a half Nelson and puts
1t out OF business altogether.
A deputy United States marshal yester
day seized the water at the company's
office. lO4 nth street northwest, and at

Of six and WITH far the exception
water taken for chemical analysis the
water seized was placed in storage by the
marshal to await the outcome of the legal
proceedings.
Attorney Joseph A. Burkart. represent
ing the company, called on the District
attorney this n1Orni g to arrange for the
taking of samples Of the seized water for
the purpose Of having the company's
chemist make an analysis. The case. It
is expected. will be contested.
Mr.. w. T. Easterbrook. manager OF the
local branch Of the Great Bear Spring
Water Company, when seen today by a
Star reporter. said In reply to the charges
made by DR.. Wiley that IL there was any
bacilli in the Great Bear water, 1t was
unknown to him.
However, We have taken the precau-
tion," said Mr.. Easterbrook, Ito throw
away all water We had on hand at the
time Of this charge Yesterday / sent
1000 cases to Philadelphia, where the
bottles will be filled at our sanitary plant
there and returned to US. Some Of them
have been received this morning and that
will be the water supplied our patrons to-
day. Monday We expect more, and from
that time on all water served from our

missionary countries. as they have been
hitherto considered, and places them on

tuberculosis teachers should be used for
the instruction of tuberculosis children
according to the statement of Dr. S.

that 1t was the duty of the state to give
an education to all children and that al
though it was unsafe for tuberculosis SUD-

ers and children suffering with tuhe GU

schools where the children could be
taught without the danger of injecting

Dr. Knopf was strongly in favor of more
physical training in the schools. 4.e said
that no child should be sent to school be-
