corded Here With Aliases Green
and Fascula.

| It is believed by the local police that
Frederick Foster, who is under arrest ir
Newport News. Va. charged with at
| tempting to pass an alleged worthless
check for 500. is the individual who was
arrested In this city nearly three months
ago and held for trial on similar charges
He obtained his release from the local
Jail by giving $500 security for his ap-
pearance.
The man under arrest in this city gave
his name as Frederick Forster and is
recorded on the police records with the
aliases Green and Fascula.
In this city the young man made the
acquaintance of a number Of persons who
are identified with others prominent In
social life and. 1t is alleged visited sew
eral stores and passed worthless checks.
The stores he visited included those OF
Charles r. Edmonston. Charles H. Har-
ris and Dulin & Martin. He was a guest
at the Raleigh Hotel, the police say, and
while there succeeded In incurring taxi
cab bills for trips about the city with
lady friends.
Figured as Col Edward M. Wright.

from Newport News. the prisoner figured
under the name Of Col. Edward Marvin
Wright. He was stopping at the Cham

the license, and when the clerk refused

native Of Campbell county. KY, although
much Of his time has been spent in Con-
necticut. A checkbook on the Sixth Ma
tional Bank of Philadelphia. showing
checks had been drawn for amounts
ranging from $40 to 500, was taken from

police of the Virginia city believe he is
mentally deranged and efforts are being
made to ascertain something definite
about him.
Inspector Boardman advised the chief
of police of Newport News today that
Foster Is an old offender: that he had
been in prison, and that he is under bond
to appear here. The record of the bu-
reau OF Identification shows that Forster

Interest in Good Roads.
President w. w Finley of the South

while the primary purpose of the New
sending out their scout cars to explore
the highways between New York city
and Atlanta has been to determine what
is the best route for an endurance con-
test for automobiles from New York te
Atlanta during the coming fall, the sec.
ondary object is by far the most i'm.
portant. 1t Is to arouse an increased
interest all along the line in road i'm
provement. The development OF the mo-
tor vehicle has given a great incentive
to the good roads movement throughou,
the United States. 1t was remarked.
The speaker added that when Mr.
Peltz returns to New York he will have
to report that he found some very bad
roads in the south. but he will also be
able to report that he found some very
excellent roads. fully up to the standard
of anything to which he is accustomed
at home. Further than this, he has found
an awakened and constantly increasing
appreciation of the Importance of good
roads and determination on the part
of many southern communities to i'm
prove their highways as rapidly as the
resources at their command will permit

.FAvORS MORE STRINGENT LAW
HEALTH OFFICER DISCUSSES
PRACTICE OF MIDWIFERY.
Mentions the Death Of q Woman
.and Baby as Due to
Carelessness.

The death Of a woman and a baby and
the serious illness of two other persons.
believed to have been due to the careless
ness of midwife, have caused Health
Officer Woodward to declare himself in
favor of a more stringent law governing
midwives in the District
The case which was brought to his at
tention today. he says. is only one Of
several which show that serious conse-
quences resulted from what is believed to
have been carelessness on the part of the
midwife in attendance.
Health Officer Woodward asserts that
two recent complaints were that the mid
wives concerned were under the influence
of liquor when attending their patients at
the most serious time of the illness.
Licensed Without Examination.
The health officer says that practically
all the complaints are against midwives
to whom the law gives licenses without
examination. At the time OF the passage
Of the act which requires that midwives
shall obtain licenses only after examina-
tion. which was in 1895, there were 12s
registered midwives. The law specified
that all those registered at the time OF
the passage of the act should receive
licenses without examination.
since the passage OF IHe dcL only IWon-
ty-six have passed examinations and re-
ceived licenses. As large number have
taken the examinations the small number
of licensed midwives is taken as an in,
dication that better class Of midwives is
being developed.
Importance Of Strict Supervision.
During the current fiscal year four mid
wives have passed the examination and
been. licensed. During the preceding
dsc1l year none passed the examination
The importance of a strict supervision
of the practice OF midwifery a pro-
lection against the spread of disease and
preventive of serious consequences
following malpractice. Health Omcer
Woodward says. is shown by the large
number of births under the direction of
midwives. In a recent year, for which the
figures are obtainable, there were 5,5Ol
births under the supervision of physicians
and 1872 under the supervision of mid
wives.
