MEASLES IS RAGING.
More Cases This Month Than Dur.
ing All Of Last Year.

More cases of measles in the District
have been reported to the District health
Office in the thirty days of this year than
were reported during the 800 days of the
year 1908. Up to noon yesterday, when
the books were officially closed for the
day, 1,21O cases had been reported so far
this year. as against 1,1S6 reported during
the preceding twelve months.
During last week a daily average Of
forty-two new cases of measles developed,
according to the reports to the health
Office, or a total of 294 in all. The first
few days of the week were marked by a
slight falling off in the number of new
cases, but the weeks record is as large
as that of any week since the present
epidemic began.
The health office officials are making
efforts to prevent the further spread of
the disease, but they seem unable, so
far. to cope with the situation. AS the
type of the disease discovered recently
is mild. they have not adopted extreme
measures. TO every family where the
disease has developed a set of the health
Office regulations has been sent and the
heads of the family have been instructed
to see that the laws are obeyed. In
SpectorS have also endeavored to keep
children exposed to the disease from
schools or from contact with others until
the danger is passed.

MAY REST IN POTTERS FIELD.
Former Policeman Co Dies FriendIess
at WASHINGTON ASYLUM Hospital

sad scene was witnessed at the Dis
trict morgue yesterday afternoon when
the body of former Policeman Adelbert
w. Cox was lifted from a government We
hicle and carried to one Of the compart-
mentS in which the bodies of murdered
persons victims of accidents. paupers and
unknowns are temporarily cared for. 1t
had been but a few weeks since Cox had
called at the morgue to pay a friendly
visit. having been there many times in an
official capacity in the time he was con-
nected with the police force. He had
severed his connection with the force
however, and was practically without
money or friends when. about ten days
ago, he was picked up i'll and taken to
the Washington Asylum Hospital.
During the time the young man was a
member of the police force he had many
friends but these he lost, and when he
was taken to the hospital suffering from
tuberculosis he was hardly able to give
the name of one who might be called a
friend. 1t was said at the morgue last
night that his body is likely to find a
resting place in potters field.
Adelbert W. Cox was born in Boston,
Mass. July 9. 1872. and twenty-five years
later was appointed to a position on the

cR1T1cIsEs NICHOLS AVENUE.
Congress Heights Association Oh
jects to Muddy Condition.

Declaring that Nichols avenue Is trans
formed from a highway into a pond after
heavy rain, storm or thaw, the Con-
gress Heights Citizens Association has
written to the District Commissioners,
asking to have the conditions remedied.
Immediately after heavy rain, storm
or thaw this highway becomes almost I'M
passable for pedestrians, owing to the
mud which IS on the surface to a depth
of several inches. and this mud causes
the water to pond and remains on the
highway until taken off by evaporation, -
the letter to the Commissioners sets
forth. THE Oil recently placed on this
highway prevents the water from pass
ing into the earth and is the cause of
these mud ponds, and If the mud and dirt
deposited on The road by the country
teams which pass through roads in farms
and county that are hub deep with mud
and clay, and the same deposited on this
avenue by being Jared from the wheels
by the macadam roadbed, could be
Scraped off or be removed in some way 1t
would be a great improvement to this sec
ton of the District"
In reporting on the matter L. c. Ora
bill. superintendent of roads. says:
1.-THE surface Of Nichols avenue in Con-
gress Heights is covered at present with
two inches of soft slush. To remove this
will remove the remainder OF the oil
which was put on last summer. 1t can
not be removed at present on account of
the very liquid condition. 1t Is probable
that the condition will become better
when drier weather occurs. and I recon-
mend no action at present"

MARYDEL, Md, January 3O.-By the

Pohler the mystery surrounding the
death by poisoned wine. January Q, of

for it is acknowledged by both Mr.. and

AFFECTS BRASS BEDS.
Public Profits by Fight Between
Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, January 30.-An interesting
war that has been waging between the
few large and the many small maunfac-
turers of brass beds throughout the coun-
try for the past six month has just ended
in complete rout for the small manufac-
turers. The fight has proved most inter
esting throughout.
Owing to the considerable drop some
time ago in the price of copper, which
enters very largely into the construction
Of brass beds, these small manufacturers
found that they could undersell the pre-
yailing prices of the large manufacturers
and still maintain a substantial margin
of profit. The large manufacturers en-
deavored to hold the little factories in
line on the regular prices. but without
avail. Not only did the large manufac-
turers almost Immediately meet the cut
prices of their smaller competitors. but
made reductions SO great that small
manufacturers could not hope to compete
except at a loss.
For once the buying public has bene-
flied by a commercial war, but their
good fortune was short lived. Already
brass beds have Jumped back to prices
that often seem exorbitant.

Fire in the office of the Federal Charter
Company. on the fourth floor of the Metz
croft building on r street northwest. was
not eNtinguished last night until about
$500 damage had been done by fire and
water.
Shortly before o'clock an employee
in the building had occasion to go to the
top floor. When he reached the fourth
floor he noticed strong odOr of smoke.
fastening down the steps. two at time.
he ran to w. S. Prodigy. the engineer OF
the building, and acquainted him with the
situation
Prodigy mounted the stairway in short
order, traced the odor of the smoke to
the office of the Federal Charter Com
pany and smashed the glass in the door.
Prodigy reeled back as cloud of smoke
puffed from the room. His first thought
was of the emergency hose in the corridor
of every floor of the building.
Pulling the hose from its rack. he
plunged through the cloud of smoke In
the hallway and rushed to the entrance
of the room. Then he turned on the
spigot and a stream of water was soon
playing on the flames. Others in the
building sent in local alarm, and engine
company Is. with hose cart and engine,
was soon on the scene.
When the firemen reached the building
there was little need for their services,
for the emergency hose had been of
value and the flames were quickly ex-
tinguished.
An investigation by Policeman John
son of the first precinct indicated that
the fire started in waste paper basket
in one of the offices on the fourth floor.
A desk and nearby woodwork caught fire
and the blaze had made Roadway in one
room before 1t was discovered. The
furniture in the room of the Federal
Charter Company was practically ruined
by the fire. and it is said valuable papers
were destroyed.
