etery this afternoon and buried. follow
ing brief religious ceremony.
1t was learned today that the man who
refused to divulge his identity to physi-
clans at the Casualty Hospital until a
few minutes before his death, Thursday,
had been employed as a translator at the
laboratory Of NJ. A. Winter, u street
northwest between 18th and 18th streets,
for the last three years. He had resided
in this city for moro than four years.
According to Charles c. Moore Of the
Department Of Agriculture, DUMAS had
always been secretive.
Was Friendless and Penniless.
Mr.. Moore first met him about three
years ago. through W. Ross Edelen, a
draughtsman. At that time DUMAS was
penniless and slept in the parks. Mr..
Moore took an interest in the aged
scholar, provided him with money and
clothing and procured him a position as
Translator In the Winter laboratory In
September. 1907.
DUMAS was picked up in an exhausted
condition in front OF the quarters Of No.
g eng'n company about five weeks ago.
He had $500 in his pockets 1t appears he
maintained the same fruga!ity after OBJ
tanning employment as he had before. and
spent his spare time perfecting several
inventions. He had worked for many
years on a device to teach writing to the
blind.
Points in His Career.
Mr.. Moore said this morning that Du-
mails had never told him that he had been
war correspondent for the London
Times, as stated by physicians at the
hospital. Friends of the deceased man
also deny the story that he had just ar
rived in this country from England and
was on his way to Florida.
Years ago DUMAS, who was a native
Frenchman, went to Canada and founded
the first agricultural college in Ontario
He married in Canada and his widow and
several sons still reside there. Disagree
ment with a brother over financial mat
tiers caused an estrangement about twenty
years ago and DUMAS left the Dominion
and it is said had never returned to his
family.
He travelled extensively in foreign coun
tries and could speak five languages.

Wrangle Over Evidence.

At his mention of these marks a long
wrangle between the district attorney and
Mr.. Johnson began. Mr.. Johnson con-
tended that Mr.. Gilmore was not an ex-
pert on marks. and that his testimony
was not competent.
Judge Bond directed Mr.. Elmore to
answer. Mr.. johnson took his second ex-
ception.
Mr.. Gilmore said that the marks on the
floor appeared to have been made by
shoes. He had seen similar marks. he
said, when he was a student at Harvard
and had watched wrestling I'm the Hem

The witness said that he had acted o.
Glover'S counsel. and was familiar with
Glover's financial affairs. In answer to n
question regarding the income from Glow

laundry Melted Glover a profit OF about

Congress Not Buying Straus
Plant at Once, Says Rudolph.
JOHNSTON THINKS so, TOO
Commissioners Approve Idea, But
Suggest Popular Subscription.
FIRST STEP IN RIGHT WAY
Suggest That individuals Put Up
Money and Run the Enterprise
as Demonstration.

Il do not believe there is any chance
of getting Congress TO grant an appro-
pr'ation for the maintenance Of the
Straus milk laboratory. If 1t is to bt
maintained. l think all Of us had better
put our hands into our pockets and put
up some money for the plant right now
Commissioner Rudolph. who is vastly
Interested in the Straus milk laboratory
gave this as his expression Of opinion
today:
He also said that the opinion that Con-
sress would not appropriate money for
the plant by January ] should in no
way be taken as a damper on the propo-
sition that the plant should be continued.
He believes that it is a good thing.
Johnston Shares Opinion.
SO do the other Commissioners. COM
missioner Johnston said today he believed
in the pasteurization of milk, and that
he thinks the Stratus idea splendid, but
that there are other sides to be consider
ed before the Commissioners should try
10 take over the plant as a municipal
affair
II think there is not the slightest ques-
tion that the plant is doing and will do
a splendid work. But the people who are
now conducting it should know that they
cannot get Congress to appropriate the
money for running it in so short time
as we are allowed.
Il saw the slant which the public hear
ing was taking Wednesday, and knew
then there would be no way of showing
Congress that the operation of this plant
al municipal affair is a fine thing, until
some one had taken over the plant with
the express idea Of showing CONGRESS
what a good thing 1t is. There must be
disqualification of public opinion on the
matter.
"Of course. many people want to have
the plant run municipality. But it is al
ways easier to have a thing run by the
municipality than to have 1t supported by
popular subscription.
Expected Different Result.
Il did not understand that the move
ment started to arouse public sentiment
for this plant would end in a request that
money be appropriated for its mainte-
nance. because, as 1 say, there must be
an interval in which some one else runs
it. If every one in the District of Column
bia should stand up and shout for that
plant, Congress would not appropriate
money over night for it. like a city coun-
ell might do.
Il had an idea that the hearing to be
granted might start public opinion the
right way 1 still think the public ought
to know just what splendid work the
plant is doing.
The committee which Commissioner
Rudolph selected to report what might be
advisable in the matter of conducting q
municipal pasteurization plant is an ex-
cellent one. Certainly, when those gen
tlemen get through with their discussion,
the air will be clearer than it is

BOILED DRINKING. WATER
NOT HEALTH c0NSERv0R
Brig. Gen. Potts Says Constant Use
Involves Neutrality-suspicious.
in Annual Report.

That the constant use Of boiled or dis
titled water is not conducive to health
is the opinion Of Brig. Gen. r. D. Potts,
recently relieved of command OF the
Philippine Department of the Luzon.
This opinion is expressed in a report
to the War Department and is based on
long experience. He says that the water
supply at all important posts in the de-
partment is fairly satisfactory, except at
Camp Gregg, recently reoccupied by a
battalion Of mountain artillery.
-. Shows Contamination.
The source OF supply Of this post.
says Gen. Potts. has heretofore been the
Agno river, the water being distilled for
drinking but for all other purposes pump
ed directly from the river. This water
has shown gross Contamination, and there
is constant danger Of sickness resulting
from its use before boiling or distilling
The situation will be relieved in the near
future by the sinking of artesian wells,
which 1t is fully expected will furnish an
adequate supply Of good water for all
purposes.
Involves Constant Risk.
AT all posts except Camp Stotsenburs
Camp Treadwell and Fort William Me-
Kinley Crowded with satisfactory arte-
sian wells), the water has to be boiled
or distilled before drinking, whatever the
Source, a condition which carries with il
constant risk, as thirsty men cannot be
depended upon to refrain from drinking
the water in its natural state, and from
long experience j am convinced that the
constant use of boiled or distilled water
is not conducive to health"

Privilege to Receive Men.

Sir Thomas then welcomed the sailors.
He said that it had been privilege to re-
ceive the officers of the American fleet
yesterday and that the corporation Of the
city of London was equally proud to re-
ceive in the same hall today the men Of
the American navy. adding: Il offer the
heartiest welcome of England, where no
one is more popular than the man behind
the gun. The American jack tar is re-
garded with a large share OF that affec-
ton which is felt for our own men,"
Sir Thomas referred to the great sailors
and other notable men who had stood In
the same hall among the three foremost
Americans-Grant, Roosevelt and Pea
body.
Replying. Commander Sims spoke with
enthusiasm of the friendly manner in
which the men Of the fleet had been re-
ceived in London. This. he said, could
not happen in any other country, but
was. made possible by the strong ties Of
blood between the two countries. Speak
ing for himself. he believed that If the
time ever came when the British empire
was menaced by an external enemy they
might count upon every man, every drop
of blood. every ship and every dollar of
their kindred across the sea

Butter, milk and cream come in for

partment's laboratory which examined in
a year $685. samples of milk, 500 SAM
pies OF cream and Y samples Of butter
and alleged butter.
Cream examined by the laboratory
shows by laboratory tests OF the SAM
pies that 10 per cent were below the
standard fixed by law, and % per cent
below the standard fixed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Samples collected
from shippers in Maryland and the
northern shipping states showed 20 per
cent below the statutory standard and %
per cent below the regulations of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. Samples COM
ing in over the railroads leading in from
Virginia showed 81 per cent below the
statutory requirements. and 30 per cent
below the amount required by regula-
tion.'
Examinations Of Milk.
The report says Of milk:
"Of the samples of milk collected within
the District from dealers. approximately
IL per cent contained less than the re-
quired amount of butter fat and per cent
showed added water. OF the samples COM
ing into the city by rail from Maryland
and other northern states. and collected
before passing into the hands Of the local
dealers. 4.16 per cent contained less than
31a per cent of butter fat and 3.38 per
cent contained added water. OF the
samples coming in by rail from Virginia,
2 per cent contained less than the re-
quired amount of butter fat and 262
per cent had been watered. These figures
are not so satisfactory as those for the
preceding fiscal year.

Cut Out Religious
Services in Schools

Spokane. Wash. Jan. s.-Opening
public schools with prayers or read
ings from the Bible is prohibited in
the state Of Washington, according to
Attorney General Bell who has given
an opinion on the subject to the state
superintendent of public instruction,
and, as NJ consequence, there is con
siderable talk of applying to the next
legislature to change the law. Mr.. Bell
says in his opinion:
Prayer is certainly a religious ex-
ercise. The public schools are main
tanned by public taxation and under
the constitution the money cannot be
expended for such purposes.
The attorney general in September,
1891. rendered well-considered opin-
ion. in which he held that reading the
Bible without comment or any other
form Of religious exercise is contrary
to the constitutional provisions above
quoted, and | heartily concur in this
opinion.
