SLEUTHS IN QUARANTINE
BOY WITH SMALLPOX SAT IN
DETECTIVES OFFICE.
Headquarters Fumigated - Negro
Founding Taken to Deten-
ton Camp.

The detective force at police headquar-
tiers was given a scare this morning.
when, at roll call. it was announced that
a negro boy who had been in the office
for nearly half an hour last evening was
i'll of smallpox.
The report Travelled rapidly. Employees
of the District building gave the detec-
tive ONCE a wide berth.
1t is also rumored that the detectives.
numbering about twenty, who were in
the Office last night and again this morn
ing. will have to be vaccinated.
Brought Back From Virginia.
The cause of the disturba nee was Clar-
ence Johnson, twelve years OF age, a
ward Of the board Of children's guardians
The boy had been placed June 80 in the
care Of Abner J. Yates of Rapidan, Gull
pepper county. Va.
Several days ago the boy complained
of feeling i'll. So Mr.. Yates returned
with him to this city last evening.
He took him to police headquarters. re-
naming in the front ONCE for some time.
He later took him into the private office
Of Capt Boardman. chief of detectives.
The chief talked with the boy, who
was seated near him. Then he decided
to have him taken to Freedmen's Hos
pital for treatment.
Shortly after he was taken to the hos
pital Capt. BOardman was informed that
the boy showed symptoms of smallpox.
The patient was removed to the deten-
ton ward.
ONCE Il Fumigated.
The health department this morning
sent several employees with fumigating
apparatus, who closed the detective ONCE
while they burned formaldehyde in the
rooms for several hours.
Capt. Boardman is today without the
use Of his uniform. Shortly after the
boy left yesterday the chief placed his
coat on the chair on which the boy had
been sitting. When he was notified that
the visitor showed symptoms of smallpox
he turned his clothes over to the health
department to be fumigated.
Mr.. Yates, who brought the boy to
Washington. could not be located today.
1t is thought he has returned home.
1t is the belief of the health depart
ment officials that the boy contracted
home DR.. w. c. Fowler, in charge Of
the contagious disease service, stated to-
day the boy could hardly have con-
tracted the disease in Virginia in the
short time he was there. He said the
symptoms show but a mild form of the
disease.
Previous to being taken to Mr.. Yates
home the boy had been year at the
children's temporary home for negro
children on Howard avenue. No other
cases have developed there.

PHYSICIAN ANSWERS
CHARGES Of WIFE
Or. E. H. Sothoron Declares
Untrue Accusations Made in
Action for Maintenance.

A consent order. requiring DIR. Elmer
H. Sothoron of 1921 street northwest, to
pay his wife. Mrs. Dora NJ. Sothoron. SIC
per month alimony. pending the determi-
nation Of the latter's suit for mainten-
ance filed last week. was signed today
by Justice Stafford. The court also al
lowed counsel fees to the attorneys for
the wife.
An absolute denial Of the many charges
Of cruelty, abuse and ill-treatment. which
the wife alleged had extended over
twenty-three years. is made in the an
swer OF DR.. Sothoron to the rule issued
on him. The physician declares the dis
agreement with his wife is due to the in
fluence of his mother-in-law. and eX-
presses the belief that if that influence
were removed the wife would return to
him and they would live happily. He
charges that when the wife left him she
legally deserted him.
Son Makes Afidavit.
Ridgley SOthoron. twenty-five years old.
the only child OF the couple, makes an
affidavit in support OF his fathers version
of the alleged charges of cruelty. He
also blames his grandmother and declares
his parents never had any serious trouble
before the advent of the mother in-law as
member of the household. In his
account of the trouble of last April, which
led to the separation, the son says he did
not interfere to prevent his father strik-
ing his mother. but. on the contrary. in
terpOsed when his mother was about to
strike her husband.
The son expresses in his affidavit his re-
luctance to thus testify, but states his
purpose to do justice TO his father. His
mother is exceedingly high tempered. he
AYERS. and ''Often allows her temper to
get the better Of her. but that when her
temper Is not aroused she is one OF the
sweetest and best women in the world. -
Denies Every Allegation.
Taking up each and every allegation OF
his wife's bill of complaint DR.. Sothoron
denies them categorically. He denies he
ever threatened or struck her, hit her
with a saucer or threw water or coffee on
her
He applied no vile epithets to her in
the presence of the servants. he swears.
The physician admits that last April
he was forced to write to merchants
with whom his wife dealt. advising that
they extend no further credit on his
account He says this was made neces-
sary by his wife's failure to live within
the $25 monthly pin money which he
says he allowed.
He states that one account had been
chants bills were concealed or de-
strOyed.
Dr. Sothoron expresses his willingness
to support his wife IL she will return to
him, but denies any legal liability to care
for her, since. according to him. she de-
serted him when she left his home with
out cause.

Water and Rutter stsriIired.

London Letter to New York Sun:
The industrial sterilization of water is
problem which Victor Henri, a
French scientist declares he has
solved. His apparatus consists of q
three jointed metal ditch, or channel,
through runs the water to be ster-
ilized.
At each joint there is a mercury
lamp suspended just above the surface
of the water. The channel allows the
passage of volume of water suffic-
lent to supply town of 10000 inhab-
itants. The experiments were made
on Seine water, but as it does not con-
tain enough microbes the inventor
emptied cultures of several kinds into
the water.
Four lamps were placed at equal
distances, the effective zone of each
being thirty-two inches. The flow Of
the water was regulated in such a
manner that it was exposed to the ac-
ton OF each lamp for eight seconds.
Consequently the total action lasted
thtrty-two seconds. This is accord
ing to the experiments, double the
time required to destroy the bacilli of
typhoid, dysentry and cholera.
Water which contained $3.50 mi
crobes of cubic centimeter before
reaching the first lamp contained only
$3.50 between the first and second.
After passing the fourth lamp the
microbes had totally disappeared.
From sterilized waite it is easy to
pass on to inoculated butter, into
which millions of beneficial bacteria
have been introduced for keeping IL
from turning rancid. The part hith-
erto played by boric acid in butter
may henceforth be played by the ac-
tive microbe.
The microbes are sold in the form
of a clear liquid, which is added to
butter-milk and prepared in a certain
way before use. When the prepare
ton is ready one gallon of 1t is added
to every twenty gallons of cream in
the butter churn. The rest of the but
ter-making process goes on in the us
ual way. while the friendly germs
fight it out among themselves.

New trans Endean RaiIroad

Metropolitan Magazine: The first
transcontinental railroad of South
America is finished. Africa alone
among the continents remains UNI
SPAWNED 1t is thirty years since the
Trans -Andean enterprise was under
taken, and it stands today as one of
the great engineering feats of the
world. The summit of the road is
10000 feet above the sea, and there are
twenty five tunnels in space of thir-
teen miles where the main range of
the Andes Dis pierced. Not only is
Valparaiso brought closer to Buenos
Ayres and to Europe by two and a half
days, but the difficulties and expense
OF the old journey by stage across the
summit are entirely eliminated. This
means that large amountof mer-
chandise which used to go around
the Horn will now Jbe transported
across the continent by rail, and the
traffic receipts are bound to be very
large from the outset. South America
is indeed a country of sky-scraping
railroads. The Guayaquil- Quito line,
finished a little over a year ago, climbs
nearly $4,000 feet on its way to the
capital of Ecuador. But that is
nothing in comparison with the dizzy
heights attained by the railroad in
Peru which taps the Cero de Pasco
copper mines The summit there is
over $4,000 feet. Farther down the
west coast the Antofagasta railroad
again scales the Andes. But nowhere
do the steel rails pierce through to
the other side of the double wall of
mountains until the new transconti-
mental line is reached. The Trans
Andean railroad is worthy precursor
of the Panama canal.

MAY ORGANIZE
FARGO BOY SCOUTS
MOVEMENT WHICH PROMISES TO
BE NATIONAL IN SCOPE STARTS
IN NEW YoRK-oReANlzATIoN
slMlLAR TO ONE FORMED BY
COL. BADEN POWELL.

A Fargo organization of boy scouts
may be formed sas a part of the ma
tional body, which was founded few
days ago in New York city. Boy
scouts are being organized in many
cities and the movement appears ma
donaI.
The desire of the movement is to
discipline the American boy, mentally,
morally and physicany, basing the
work upon the boys innate love of the
military, and through It engendering
in him generous patriotism end
chivalry, love of nature through out
door and athletic exercises and incul-
eating in him a higher morality and
honor, through love of country, obedi-
ence to his superiors and fealty to the
constitution and flag.
Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles says of
the organization:
ANY measure that tends to benefit
the boys, youth and young men of our
country, is national benefaction. The
very salvation OF the highest of re-
publics depends upon the character,
integrity and patriotism OF it's citi-
zens. 1t will endure just So long as
the high standard of our fathers who
founded the government and all those
who have helped to maintain 1t since
is revered and perpetuated.
I'm the Boer war Great Britain
realized its want of individuality in
the men that composed its armies.
Lieut.. Gen. Baden Powell has done
much to overcome this defect and to
bring about an interest in promoting
manly qualities of youth and inspir-
ing them with a spirit of self-reliance
independence Of thought and action,
and cultivating ir them manly, he
roic spirit, with an honorable, noble
purpose actuating their daily lives.
