DIPHTIs!3RiA DUE TO VOCATION
OIfaEALTH REGULATIONS.

Despite the efforts made by health
authorities throughout the state, FREE
quent reports OF mild epidemics OF diph-
liberia are being received at the State
Health Department, and millions OF
units Of antitoyin are being sent out
weekly in the effort to check the spread
of the disease. The health authorities
state that the mortality from diphthcria
is at present very low, bat they are
much concerned at the prevalence OF
the disease which they attribute to the
neglect OF the release culture in many
parts Of the state.
The release culture is one Of the pre-
cautions which preventive medicine has
devised to prevent the spread Of diph-
liberia, and it is based upon sound sani-
tary science, fully approved by health
authorities everywhere. As the germs
Of diphthcria frequently Turk in the
throat long after every other evidence
Of the disease has disappeared, a case
OF diphtheria is always considered
dangerous until meteorological exam
nation of the throat makes it apparent
that there are no germs present.
In giving this explanation Of the re-
lease culture today, an official Of the
Health Department expressed his con-
viction that most OF the diphtheria
now in the state was being spread
by persons who had suffered from the
disease and had been released from
quarantine before a release culture had
been found free OF the germs of dis
ease. 1t can be demonstrated he
said, that cases Of diphtheria resulting
from direct contact are comparatively
few but there is every reason to believe
that hundreds of cases of diphtheria are
being spread by carriers who have the
germs of the disease in their throats.
We cannot too strongly urge on all
physicians and local health authorities
the necessity Of requiring the release
culture in every case, or else OF main
tanning quarantine for three weeks in
every ease Of diphtheria. 1t is true
that most Of the diphtheria now in the
state is ola very mild type, thanks to the
widespread use Of anitoxin, but it fire.
quently happens that mild form Of the
disease, spread by someone who has
suffered from it, will suddenly become
very virulent and will result most dis
astrously."
The regulations Of the Health De-
part,nent require the release culture,
and the laboratory OF the Health De-
partment will make examinations free
Of charge for this purpose. It is en-
rccted that tho department will make
every effort to enforce these regula-
tions, as they have the force OF law in
the state.

Federation OF Labor.

St. Louis, Nov. 26.-Derga;cs to
the American Federation OF Labor
convention hero today admitted that
President Samuel Gompcrs had been
drawn directly into situation that
threatens the federation, when he
was asked to adjust the crucial clash
between the Western Federation OF
Miners and the International Associa-
ton OF Machinists. As prodic;e! J,
James O'Connell, head OF the machin-
lists, caused deadlock in the struggle
to affiliate the Western miners and the
convention was adjourned without
action. The fight between William
Mover, president OF the Western
Miners, and O'Connell for jurisdiction
over all workmen in the metalliferous,
ended in demand by O'Connell for
ruling from the chair. President
Gompers refused then to decide whcth-
er tie Western Miners, with $4,000
members, or the machinists with 81
members, should have the last word
in the affiliated Western Federation.
When the convention re-conyened
today the delegate expected some an
nouncement by President Gompers.
The issue in the western states il
over the perpetuation Of the Gompers
policy OF trade unionism" rs against
what is termed in some quarters as
industrial unionism." Gompers de-
cIination to rule on the issue gave rise
to the belief that he may withhold a
decision until after final adjournment.

COUNTY TREASURER ACCUSED.

Special Commissioner G. Vernon
Ford, Of Fairfax county, has filed a
supplemental report in the clerks office
OF Prince William county in the suit OF
the board OF supervisors OF Prince Will
liam county against James E. Herrell,
as county treasurer, in which he con-
firms former report against the treas
urer.
The commissioner states that there Is
no occasion TO change his first report
against the treasurer, in which he found
that the official had failed to account
for all Of the taxes he collected, in
Guiding the money received from the
sale and redemption Of delinquent
lands. He said that instead OF report
ing too much against the treasurer, IN
many instances he reported too little,
giving the official the benefit OF every
doubt.
The report also criticises the failure
Of the treasurer to keep proper ac-
count of the moneys received. The
findings against the defendant, it says,
are based largely on the books OF the
defendant himself and his admissions
under cross denomination.
Mr.. Herrell is nov serving his third
term as county treasurer. The suit has
been pending three years and has cx-
cited great deal Of attention.

Entombed Miners Believed to be Dead.

Providence, KY, Nov. 26.-It is
believed today that the ten men en-
tombed in mine No. 8 Of the Providence
Coal Company by an explosion are
dead.
The mine rescue car of the govern
ment bureau of mines arrived from
Linton, Ind, early today. At $40
this morning the rescue crew aided
by volunteers entered the mine. 1t
was at first believed the mine was free
from gas, but it developed early this
morning that dangerous gases had ac-
cumulated and hopes of getting the
entombed men out alive dwindled. A
windy shot in the mine yesterday after
noon caused terrific explosion and
ten OF the twenty miners employed in
the mine escaped before gases had
time to form, but ten others in the
lower levels we're unable to reach the

Mutineers on Brazilian Warships Still
in Control-ImitatinS Crews of Portu-
guese Ships.
Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 26.-The Brazil
ian warships manned by mutineers
which steamed out of the barber last
night, despite the promise OF the crews
to surrender, came inside the bar again
this morning. They are still flying the
red flag of revolt, but the government
has sent On embassy to arrange for the
formal transfer of the war vessels back
to the control OF the government.
That the revolt and mutiny among
the sailors and petty officers in the
Brazilian navy was due directly to the
influence of the recent successful Por-
tuguese revolution was the assertion Of
high officials today. They say the
crew of the big dreadnaught Sac Paulo
we're inoculated with the germ of revolt
as the result of witnessing the easy
manner in which King Manuel was
overthroHn. The Sac Paulo, with
President Fonseca on board, was in the
harbor OF Lisbon when the revolt there
started, the Brazilian chief executive,
who had not at the time been Inaugural
ted, having gone there to pay his re-
spects to King Manuel. An erroneous
report that Fonesca had granted a. re-
fuge to Manuel was circulated at the

SHOOTING AT BREWERY.

watchman at the Arlington Brewery
shot at Louis Schroeder, the cooper al

about seven o'clock. Schroeder claims
that lac was working at repairing kegs
and was leaning over keg in front oil
the door at the cooper shop wheh Kron
approached him from the direction OF
the washroom with pistol in his hand
shouting I'm kill you, a number OF
times. Schroeder says hron then tired
his pistol twice at him causing Schroe-
ter to beat hasty retreat to far cor
ner OF the cooper shop. After the
shooting Kron crossed the Aqueduct
bridge and was seen in Georgetown on
Saturday night. A warrant was issued
by Justice Moody for the arrest OF Kron
and placed in the hands OF Deputy
Sheriff Fields. Schroeder says that the
only reason that he can think OF for the
conduct of Kron is that he, Schroeder,
once reported Kron to his union for
some violation OF the bylaws and that
Kron has had bad blood for him
{Schroeter), ever since.
On Monday evening Kron accom-.
panied by William Xander and Louis
Schroff gave himself up to the COM

A LETTER FROM BISHOP GIBSON

Bishop Gibson has written the fol
lowing concerning the vacancy caused
by the resignation Of Bishop-Coad,
tutor A. S. Lloyd OF the Diocese o.
Virginia:
My dear people: The election OF the
bishop-coadjutor OF Virginia to be
president of the Board OF Missions
raises questions on which many of you
arc thinking very seriously. OF course
everybody knows that under the Can
ons of the church diocese can have
but ono Misrepresentation, and every
body who is familiar with the condi,
lions of the diocese knows that help is
needed to enable the bishop do the
work which is waiting to be done.
In these circumstances a bishop
suffragan has been suggested for Nir'
ginia. This is q new office, and one
which requires study before its intro,
duction by any diocese-most of all
before its introduction by diocese
which has the traditions of Virginia.
The Canon creating suffragan bish'
ops in the church puts large response
bility upon the bishop OF the diocese
Section ! of that Canon says that the
initiative shall always be taken by the
bishop of the diocese, asking for the
assistance Of suffragan.
The bishop of the diocese is the per
son whom some people call the senior
bishop; in the case OF Virginia, myself
For action to be taken on the request
of any one else is unlawful.
A large responsibility, therefore
rests on me in the present juncture o
affairs.
I am trying to meet that respons
bility by writing this letter. Afte1
thinking much upon the subject, it i:
my conclusion that suffragan vii
not suit US.
The complications in which the cleo
ton OF such an officer would oatanglt
us are too numerous and too grave tc
be risked.
This is my conviction: it would no
be wise, it would not DO for the pres
ent or future welfare Of the diocese
With this conviction ! cannot ask fol
suffragan. This l write for the set
Ting of the minds OF all OF us.
Faithfully and affectionately, your
friend and bishop.
