BlAMES WOMAN FOR TYPHOID
HEALTH OFFICER SAYS DAIRY
KEEPER Is GERM CARRIER.
Mrs. Stearns Is Well, But Had Dis
ease Eighteen Years Ago-Her
License Revoked.

Mrs. Emma J. Stearns. whose dairy
farm near Cabin John Bridge. Md. is al
legged to have been the source from which
the score Of typhoid fever victims in
Georgetown became infected. is what is
known to medical science as a typhoid
bacillus carrier. declares the health Of
fcer Health Officer Woodward announced
today that a psychological analysis has
revealed this.
The permit emitting her to bring milk
into the District has been revoked. She
will be prevented from selling milk here
so long as she remains a bacillus carrier
According to DR.. Woodward. this is the
first outbreak OF typhoid fever due to
milk ever traced to a bacillus carrier in
the District. This woman gives abso-
lutely no history OF any recent attack Of
illness. but had typhoid fever eighteen
years ago.
Why, however. II she has been carrying
fever bacillt ever since her known at
tack of typhoid fever the milk from her
premises has not been infected at an
earlier date is not apparent to health
officials. She has held a dairy permit
since September z. 1904.
Since noon yesterday six new cases of
typhoid fever have developed, making a
total OF thirty-two cases in Georgetown
within the past eight days.
Auc BLK most recent victims are all con-
sumers Of milk. They are Of ages ranging
from five years to twenty-five years.
Four Of them are under fifteen years.
With the exception of one victim. the
source Of infection of all of these recent
cases is traced to the dairy farm in Mary
land. This farm is also suspected Of re-
sponsibility for twenty-three Of twenty
six earlier cases.
In tracing the source of infection and
establishing a true case" the health
ONCE has been confronted by a most
peculiar and dificult situation. Twenty
eight Of the \thirty-two victims drank
milk served by two separate diaries.
Upon investigation 1t was found these
two dairies were supplied by the same
dairy farm.
When this fact was learned IL was nat
urally supposed that the dairy farm was
the source Of the infection. Every clue
indicated this. as they say in criminal
circles. But when Health ONCE Wood
ward and one OF his inspectors and a
bacteriologist from the public health and
marine hospital service visited the farm
and made a thorough inspection nothing
was discovered or learned that would
actually convict" the farm or the per-
sons living on It,
Those who conduct the farm were found
apparently healthy. The farm is well
kept and sanitary. the water supply ex-
cellent and the drainage beyond suspi-
cion.

TO VISIT LONDON AND PARIS
PLANS AFTER HIS
AFRICAN HUNTING TRIP.

Robert p. Porter. Washington CORE
spondent of the London Times. who was
a guest of President Roosevelt at lunch
con a few days ago, has cabled to his
paper that President Roosevelt will visit
England early in 1910 after his African
hunting trip. The President will de-
liver the Romanes lecture at Oxford and
will receive from that institution the
honorary degree Of Del, which OK
ford already has bestowed upon Emperor
William. The President will also visit
Paris and deliver an address at the Sor-
bonnie.
1t is expected that Mrs. Roosevelt will
join the President at Khartum toward
the close Of his hunting trip and will
accompany him on his trip in England
and France. which will probably be ex-
tended to Germany and other countries.
The exact itinerary Of the President has
not been made up and will be developed
slowly.
1t is explained that the itinerary of
the social side Of Mr. Roosevelts trip
time being too distant to permit of more
than tentative arrangements. 1t is further
said that the reticence which has been
observed was owing. in part, to the Presi.
dents Discrimination to have his plans
discussed so far in advance.
nearly WELCOME ASSURED.
The Times in an editorial says that
the whole British public will welcome
President Roosevelt with the sincerest
pleasure. and ADDS that it would be diff
ficult. II not impossible, to name a guest
who would be assured Of a more hearty
and genuine welcome from all classes OF
the people.
Our pleasure will be all the greater"
says the Times. IF Mrs. Roosevelt can be
induced to accompany him. Roosevelt )
reputation Is secure in this country as
that of the greatest American President
since the days OF Lincoln
Preparations in Cairo.
CAIRO. Egypt. October 17.-Preiiminary
arrangements. already are being made
here for the visit OF President Roosevelt
to Khartum in 1909. and he is being
talked Of today as the great celebrity
who Is coming to Egypt in that year.
1t appears from the arrangements that
are being completed that Mr. Roosevelt
will probably enter Africa by way of
Mombassa and travel toward the great
lakes by the British railroad He will
:hen take a caravan across the wilder
ness to khartum. from which point he
will make his way down the Mile He
may choose, however, to enter by some
other way and make his exit via Nom

REFORM IN MACEDONIA
HINDERED BY JEALOUSY
Russian Foreign Minister Says Powers
Are Envious and SeIfish-Great
Britain's Plan Re-
Jected

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 17-For-
eign Minister Iswolsky today delivered
to the Duma his long expected state
ment regarding the Balkan situation
He said he was not able to chronicle
any definite achievement toward the
settlement of the Macedonian problem,
but the loyal support of the Russian pro-
gram by Austria Hungary, Germany,
Ttaly and France and it's partial ap-
proval by Great Britain was full or
promise. -.
Reforms in Macedonia were impera-
lively necessary. he said. Unfortun-
atelv, there had been no substantial
results from previous efforts of the
powers in this direction, due largely to
the inter-racial quarreling and jealous
les OF the very nationalities 1t was to
benefit. Settlement would be 1mpos-
sible unless it was supported by the CO.
operation of all the powers, and Russia
was Obliged, for this reasops to reject
the proposal advanced by Great Brit
ain.
The Russian plan, the foreign min
lister continued, contained neither ego
tistic designs nor dangerous innova-
tions and it could be put into execution
without danger of bringing on a great
conflict.

NEW MANAGER FOR
CROWN CITY HOTEL
COLONEL GREEN LEAVES FOR
HIS EASTERN HOME
Business of Which He Has Been for
Many Months the Head Will
Be Under Charge of
J. n. Holmes
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, April III. H. Holmes,
for eighteen years manager of Hotel
Green, has leased that hostelry from
Col. G. G. Green, its owner, for a term
of years and will assume control May
/, after the season o. 1907-S has closed.
The lease was made on the eve of Col
Green's departure for his eastern home.
Mr. Holmes has been the manager
of the hotel since it was purchased
from E. c. Webster by it's present
owner. At that time it contained fifty
one rooms. Since then, by enlarging
the east building and by the addition of
two great wings on the west, the hotel
has been enlarged to contain 500 rooms
With it's magnificent architecture and
equipment it is one of the best large
hotels in t e country.
Mr. Holmes has won great succtss
in his management of Hotel Green,
but this has not been his only interest.
He has taken an active part in public
affairs, particularly in the work of the
Tournament of Roses association, and
he has large interests in the Home Tel
ephone company, the Mount Wilson
Hotel company and other properties.
Mr. Holmes believes that the tourist
business in Southern California is yet
10 set it's best days. It's established
character, he says, Is indicated by its
volume during the past winter under
what might be termed adverse condi-
tions.
Col. Green no longer desires to give
active personal attention to his hotel,
and for this reason has stepped aside
in favor OF Mr.. Holmes whose long
service has won him the right to as
sumo control by lease.
The hotel will remain open for about
ten days longer.
