DR. OSLER CALLED
TO INVESTIGATE
Famous Baltimore Scientist IL
Washington Looking Into Epi-
demic of Infantile Paralysis.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. "a
DIR. William Osler. the famous scfen-
list Of Baltimore and oxford, Was in
Washington to-day for the purpose,
II is said. of investigating the cause
of infantile paralysis. which il cpl
Gemfe here.
The medical association of this city
has undertaken an extensive study Of
the infantile maiady, which. 50 far
has baffied every attempt OF the ply
sicians of this country. When the as
ISOLATION held its first meeting to take
up the investigation the medical fra
ternity was found to be divided on the
elementary question as to whether in
fantile paralysis was contagious or in
fictitious.
The efforts of DR.. osier will be
CLOSELY followed by the medical assoc
citation. though how far the public
will be taken into his confidence lis
not known. Since his experiences with
publicly at the time of his famous
''old age choloroform' proposal. it is
said that he has not been anxious to
give out his theories or to discuss his
work.

FINDS CONSPIRACY
IN CENSUS OFFICE
Director Durand Learns That Let
tiers Are Being Sent to
EnumeratorS.
CONTRIBUTIONS ASKED
Each 10 Pay One Dollar and Get
Ten After Government Is
Sued by Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-in an eff
dollar each from census enumerators
throughout the country t. finance a
claim which he asserts Is baseless.
Census Director Durand to-day made
public a circular sent out by "a man
who poses as secretary of the ma
tional association OF census euumera-
tors"
Each enumerator who distributed
advance schedules OF population is
asked to contribute s / to help pay for
legal counsel and otherwise to meet
the expense of prosecuting a case be-
fore the United States court of claims
to obtain S1o additional coTupensa-
ton.
Census Director Durand received
one of the circulars from a former
enamerator in Milwaukee. In his let
ter the secretary Of the association
says that the advance distribution OF
the schedules was extra work. for
which he made a demand for $40 a
day. he tsrfrrz4tfti ret 1seti-uy

Basis for claim in court. according

of the association from any other
source and knows none OF the officers
except the secretary. He said to-day
that the association obviously has no
reason fol-. existence except to prose-
cute this so-called claim. He believes
that the census enumerators generally
feel that their work was assisted by
the ase of the advance schedules. The
association circular claims that these
schedules delayed the work, in some
instances two or three days.
While Director Durand is confident
that in most, IL not all, cases the adj
vance schedules reduced the time me-
cessary for the enumerators to COM
plete their work. he holds that in any
event It Is clear under the law that
the enumerators have no claim for
extra compensation for having been
required to distribute the advance
schedules The enamerators were
plainly told, the director says that
they would receive no additional pay
for this work. He asserts his right
to require any method of taking the
census which will assure accuracy
and completeness.

Result OF Recent Court.
All of this Is tine result of agita-
ton which has been going on since
the recent court of inquiry which
made an investigation into the affairs
of Company A at the request of Cor
poral Carroll F. Martin, who had been
reduced to ranks by Captain Mellow
ell. This court INDICATED Corporal
Martin of alleged unfitness for military
duty. 1t said further that Captain
Mcdowell had Violated regulations of

tigation, assigning as q reason that
existing conditions did not tend to
the good of the service or to promote
harmony"
Major Bowles has BEEN considering
this recommendation, and brought the
matter to a head Tuesday afternoon
when he asked for the board of exami-
nation, II now rests with the Cover
nor whether this board shall be or
dered.
Association Takes Hand
The Blues Association. composed OF
former members of the battalion. have
been active in this matter and several
of them have recently held lengthy
conferences with Adjutant General
Sale. The disturbances are deeply re-
GREETED by them. and they are anx-
ious for thorough investigation.
The board of examination, which
Major Bowles deems necessary to re-
store discipline and re-estabiish har-
mony and order. is vested with pow
ers similar to a court of inquiry or
court-martiai. 1t Is very seldom re-
| sorted to by the Virginia volunteers.
1t must consist of not less than three
officers nor more than five of higher
or equal rank of the officer who comes
| before them for hearing. This board 8
! powers are limited TO hearing cases of
commissioned officers only.
