Trophies of African Hunt
Are Perfectly Pre-

SKINS ARE PACKED
IN HEAVY CASKS
Not Single Specimen Is Found
in Imperfect Con-
dition.

The Roosevelt picking corps. as the
former Presidents scientific companions
in Africa have come to be called. are
receiving all kinds Of praise at the
hands of the officials of the Smithsou-
ian Institution because of the expert
manner in which the trophies OF the
hunt that have arrived in this city
were prepared for shipment
The examination Of the trophies by
the museum experts was commenced
Monday and viii probably be continued
throughout the week. So far the ex-
aminers have not found a single article
Of the entire lot in anything but perfect
condition There was considerable spec
ulation as 10 the manner in which the
skins and other trophies should be pre-
pared for the long trip 10 Washington.
and a number Of expert taxidermisJs
held widely divergent views on the
subject. Prof J. Alden Loring, Edmund
Heller, and Dr.. Edgar A AIearns, who
are experts in preparing hides and skins,
we're selected by Colonel Roosevelt to
take charge OF this part of the expedi-
tiOn and they carried with them a mass
Of material TO carry on their work.
The skins that have arrived in Wash
tngton are all packed In brine in heavy
casks. The unpacking is being done
now 10 discover the condition of trophies
and throw out any that might show the
effects of the trip. Up to date the ex-
aminers have not found a single skin TO
be thrown out, nor has there been a
single skin that is IN any way damaged
or has deteriorated. This is a wonder
ful record, according 70 the experts. as
it has seldom, if ever, happened that
skins packed in the tropics have al
come through IN perfect shape.
The skins are being repacked as rap
idly as they are examined and viii be
stored until the return Of Colonel RoOse-
welt. There are a number OF trophies IN
the lot which belong Individually TO the
members of the hunting party and none
OF the scientists here know which is
which.
Some OF the trophies are said 70 be
the most magnificent specimens ever re-
cetvCd here This is especially true in
/ the case OF the hippopotamUs, rllinocer-
os, and cheetah skins. The hippopOta-
mus skin IS one OF the largest ever re-

RECOMMENDS WAR
AGAINST TYPHOID
Board, After Three Years
Investigation, Makes
Report.
Photos by J. s. Reid.

I'VE are convinced a vigorous cam
paign against typhoid fever as a con-
tagious disease, and the adoption Of
measures that would prevent the spread
Il infection In milk, would eliminate the
greater part Of typhoid fever from the
District of Columbia"
Such Is the conclusion reached after
three years study of the typhoid
fever in washington by the board ap-
pointed upon request Of the Commis-
sioners by the Surgeon General of the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service, July 2. 1906. consisting Of NJ. J.
Rosenau, director Of the hygienic lab
oratory; l.. L. Lumsden. passed as
sistant surgeon, and Joseph II. h
Kastle, chief Of the division Of chem
istry.
Considering the climatic and general
sanitary conditions of Washington, the
typhoid fever rate. according TO the re-
port made today, is still comparatively
high for a city with no water-borne
infection. After a careful study Of
every phase Of the situation. the follow
ing conclusions regarding the disease
are reached by the board:
Affects Both Races
"Race-During the warm season the
disease prevails prop0rtiOnately among
white and coIOred. In cold weather,
however, the disease prevails proper
tionately more heavily among the
" hites.
''Sex-The disease Is somewhat more
prevalent among males. especially
among those between the ages of fifteen
and thirty-four years.
'Age-The disease in 1908 again was
specially prevalent among children, sug-
gesting that milk and contact are re-
spOnsible for more cases than can be
definitely traced TO these factors.
'Endemicity-The majority Of cases oc-
ours among persons who have not been
out of Washington within the thirty
days previous 10 the onset Of Illness.
and, moreover, among those who have
lived in Washington all their lives.
showing that Washington is a true en-
denic' center.
Seasonal prevalence-In 1906 and 1908
the typhoid season and the summer sea
son were both early. In 1907 there were
a cool spring and late summer, also a
beIated typhoid curve, showing striking
Iy the correlation between the beginning
of the summer weather and the in
creased prevalence Of the disease.
In 1907 and 1903 the typhoid fever
rate continued until the cessation Of
warm weather. In 1906. however, there

Inspector General Makes
Recommendation to
Secretary.
TWENTY PER CENT
INCREASE ASKED
After Investigation, Darlington
Says Better Pay Should Be
Forthcoming.
By JAMES HAY, Jr.

Legislation by Congress to give an
nuities to superannuated Government
clerks and to increase by 20 per cent
the salaries Of the active employees is
recommended by Inspector General z.
A. Darlington, in a report made today
10 the Secretary Of War.
The report which refers to all the
sreclzs Of the War Department. says:
Il am heartily in favor OF the propo-
sition 10 grant to employees IN the clas-
sifed service a general increase Of 20
per cent in their present salaries, and
also Of such legislation as viii provide
a system for the retirement, on moder-
ate annuities. Of the faithful employees
who become superannuated in the pub
lie service"
Little Hope For Increase.
For the % per cent increases at this
time there is little or no hope. according
to the sentiment in Congress, but the
recommendation for the annuities comes
at time when it viii serve to give
great impetus to the movement in Con-
gress.
General Darlington has recommended
it for the past two or three years. but
his report OF today assumes greater i'm
pOrtance than ever before because of
the allies that have come 10 the support
Of these Government clerks since he be-
gan the propaganda. The latest Of these
was Secretary OF the Treasury Mac
Veagh. who. as result Of the most
thorough investigator possible Of con
ditlons in his department. has decided
20 take the cle-eks' side OF the matter
President Taft would also be glad TO
see the pension-retirement plan put into
effect IL 1t could be done with some de-
Eree Of economy.
There is no question at this time but
that the membership Of Congress is op-
posed 10 the scheme. Representative
Gmett. the leader Of the movement for
such retirement OF the clerks. has only
recently said that he could not md
enough support IN the House for the
passage OF the bill Nevertheless. he
has seen sentiment in Congress grow
stronger for It than was the case two
years ago.
That 1t viii continue to grow, cannot
be doubted when the executive depart
ment Of the Government comes out
more and more strongly In it's favor.
Clerk Is Affected.
In speaking Of his two recommenda-
tions. General Darlington said this
afternoon:
The Government clerk is affected as
much as anybody else by the increased
cost OF living, and there is every rea-
son why he should have his salary in
creased in order TO meet the added
expense.
II am also in favor o. the annuity
plan. Both that and the increase in pay
should be granted. according 10 my
knowledge Of the situation"
Secretary Of War Dickinson has not
yet fntimated how he stands on the pen
sion retirement plan, but there is every
reason 10 believe. In view Of the Presi-
dents attitude on the subject and the
expert knowledge OF General Darlington.
