TITLE FOR REFORMATORY SITES
APPROPRIATION BILL TO CARRY
AMENDMENT TO LAW.
Sequel to Commissioners Letter to
House District Committee-At-
torney Generals Views.

The appropriation bill to be reported to
the House next Thursday by Chairman
Tawney will contain the bill recommend
ed by the Commissioners amending the
law so that titles for the site of the
new workhouse and reformatory shall be
taken in the name of the United States.
The Commissioners letter on the subject
was taken up today by Representative
Gardner. chairman of the subcommittee
on the District of Columbia of the House
appropriation committee, and by Mr..
Tawney, and the subject will be con-
sidered in connection with the forthcom-
ing bill
Accompanying the Commissioners let
ter is a communication from Attorney
General Wickersham. in which he says:
That the District is a separate and
distinct municipal corporation and not
well settled. In case such purchase
should be made by the Commissioners
of the District they would be without
exclusive jurisdiction over the land. as
the cession of jurisdiction and authority
to purchase. granted to the United
States by the states of Virginia and
Maryland, respectively, do not apply to
the Commissioners of the District.
Indeed, it may be seriously questioned
whether without special legislation in the
states OF Maryland or Virginia the Com
missioners of the District could lawfully
hold prisoners on the land so purchased
within either Of those states. The act OF
Congress should be amended SO as to
require title to the property to be taken
in the name of the United States.

DECREE FOR MRS. HAROESTY
DAUGHTER OF LATE JOHN CAM
MACK SECURES DIVORCE.
Petition Was Filed Nearly Fourteen
Years Ago-Settlement In Con-
nection With Fathers Estate.

Mrs Annie S. Cammack Hardesty only
daughter of the late John Cammack the
retired florist. who died June Is, 1908.
leaving an estate valued at S1WD,OOO
was granted today by Justice Barnard
of the District Supreme Court an abso-
Lutte divorce from Arlington L. Hardesty.
The suit was filed nearly fourteen
years ago. September 16. 1898. and
charged the husband with habitual
drunkenness. Under the law at that
time drunkenness covering a period of
three years was ground for an absolute
divorce.
Miss Cammack and Mr. Hardesty were
married in Baltimore October 10, 1890.
and in her petition for divorce the wife
claimed that he had spent nearly $4,000
of her money. most of it for drink.
The marriage. 1t is said, caused an es-
trangement between Mrs. Hardesty and
her father, and at the time of his death
the daughter was employed as clerk In
one of the government departments.
By the fathers will Mrs Hardesty
was left only the income of a fund of
$4,000. which at her death, reverted to
the estate. the bulk of which went to the
widow, Mr.. Carmack's second wife.
Mrs. Hardesty, it was reported, threat
ened to contest the will, but a settlement
was effected whereby she was given $780,,
0U0 in cash in addition to the provision in
the will.
Attorney H. NJ. Sterling represents the
wife.

Flood Conditions at Kansas City at
Standstill - Heavy Rains

KANSAS CITY. July 12.-With the
main line of the Missouri Pacific railroad
between Kansas City and st. Louis con-
gested because Of the great number Of
trains of other railroads detoured over 1t
in an effort to reach Chicago, railroad
traffic between Kansas City and Chicago
today was practically at standstill
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
road had annulled all of it's Chicago
morning trains, and the Burlington and
Rock Island officials were making no
promises to Chicago passengers as to ar
rival time in the lake city. These two
roads were detouring via st. Louis. West
ern trains were running on scheduled
time Local flood conditions were at a
standstill today, as the Kansas river
stood at twenty-three feet, a rise of but
tenth Of an inch since yesterday. The
Missouri river reading was 26.2 feet,
which was two-tenths Of an inch higher
than last night.
At Topeka the Kansas river reached a
maximum of eighteen feet ten inches last
night, but showed a fall of seven inches
today The river at that point is now
at a standstill. Heavy rains fell during
the night between Manhattan and Clay
Center Kansas, in the Kansas river wa
tershed These rains will have a tenden-
cy to cause a slight rise in the river in

No Tsetse Fly incubation,


'In the experiments at the institute
the incubation OF the mice has been
done with the trypanosom and not with
the tsetse fly ever since the facts In the
case became known. Only a tsetse lily
that has picked up the sleeping sickness
germ from some already infected patient
can carry the disease. The trypanosom.
though. has the germ intimately bound
up in Its own organism.
1T may be said that this insect in
itself Is the sleeping sickness germ;
and 1t is interesting to note that it is
probably the only disease germ in ex-
istence having the power Of locomotion

the test at the institute has produced
highly gratifying results. although posi-

serum in all cases will be deferred un-
til next winter. after the tests have
been continued long enough to warrant
scientific deductions
At the institute the report that for
mer President Roosevelt was armed with
vial of the serum before he started
for Africa was denied.
Since the sleeping sickness first made
it's presence felt in Uganda, in 1901,
more than 100000 In one district have

swept with an almost inconceivabls

PULPIT DEFENDS MISS GlnGlE

Presbyterian Minister Calls Her to

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 12-There was a
sensation in the Garfield Boulevard Pres
byterian Church yesterday. when the
pastor, Rev r. Keene Ryan. declared
that Ella Gingles, the Irish lacemaker.
was innocent of the charges made against
her. Two hundred and fifty dollars were
pledged for her defense, and it is ex-
pected that today at the Orange Institu-
ton picnic the fund will reach $1,000.
Just before closing his sermon and max
ing the appeal for funds Rev. Mr.. Ryan
called the defendant. who was present at
the services. to the pulpit and placed his
hand upon her head while reciting the
white slavery" He denounced the prose-
cution in the most bitter terms.

NEW YORK, July 12.-In denying re-

ing, during which exhaustive tests were
made with mice as subjects, the speciai-
lists at the big institution at the foot OF
East 66th street established that the all
ment is caused by the bite OF tiny IN
sect known as the trypanosom.
Discovered In Germany.
The "brcwnish powder" which 1t was
reported had been compounded for the
first time in the Rockefeller Institute. Is
actually the discovery of Dr. Ehrlcn. the
famous German specialist, who announced
his discovery of the serum nine months
ago in Berlin.
The experiments on mice. which have
been continuing at the local institution,
have included the use OF this cure only
during the past six months. Prior TO that
time inoculated subjects were treated
with a variety of anti-toxins. none OF
which had any effect.
The discovery that the widely dreaded
tsetse fly is no longer to be feared as the
bearer of the sleeping sickness germ was
also made by Ehrlich. who could charge
up against the insect the same kind Of
disease-bearing characteristics as our
