eighty years and six months old at the
time Of his death.
When Mr.. Jordan came to Washington
fifty-eight years ago. and located On what
Is now street, there were few resi-
dences in that part of Washington. On
all sides of him there was little else but
vacant ground and stretches of woodland.
Mr.. Jordan was a cabinet maker by
trade, and followed the business in that
part of Washington during all his life
here, barring the last few years, when
intirmities of age precluded further la

The health Of the American navy was
better during 1909 than in any other
yearly period of the last decade. and
the death rate was the lowest ever re-
corded for that arm Of the fighting service.
These gratifying facts are announced
in the annual report of Sugeon General
Stokes, and are attributed largely to
the increasing recognition of the pre-
yentive, as we'll as the curative, functions
of the medical department.
The record death rate was five per 1000
The percentage of sick from disease and
injuries during 1909 was 1910, as COM
pared with 'ten-year average of 5.21S

Sales Of Liquor to Minors.

with regard to minors purchasing in
toxicants. 1t has been held on the presen-
tation Of such cases to court; that no
penalty will prevail where the minor
bought for the use Of the adult: in other
words, acted as an agent. but arrests
have followed where adults procured
liquor for minors, and in the enforcement
Of law in this particular the police have
been active.
Much difficulty attends the apprehend-
ing of those who knowingly sell to per-
sons under age, where the appearance of
the buyer is misleading as to lawful
years. There are no dance halls where
liquors are sold In this community, al
though music Is an attraction in many
places where liquid refreshments are dis
pensed.
"There were III arrests on the charge
Of keeping an unlicensed bar. and nine
ty-dve convictions: five cases were made
for keeping open after hours, and twenty
cases against those who kept bars open
on Sunday. There were eighteen arrests
and seventeen convictions had for fur
nishing liquor to minors"

Regarding the Naval Medical School
Hospital, in this city, the surgeon gen.
eral says that the accommodations for
enlisted men are ample for this station,
and that the accommodations for officers
now somewhat limited, probably will be
sufficient to meet demands when the new
building is completed.
A prison has been established at the

Ability to swim well, in the opinion of
the surgeon general, should be insisted
upon by naval authorities as a prerequi-
site of officers and enlisted men upon
their entry into the Navy or Marine Corps.
This requirement. he says. would con-
tribute to, the saving Of a. considerable
number of lives.
The present annual physical test for
naval officers. consisting of walking or
riding a prescribed number Of miles with
sus of opinion of med cal officers, the
surgeon general says, has utterly failed
to accomplish the design to encourage
regular daily exercise, very few having
derived any real benefits, while consider
able tangible harm has resulted. DR..
Stokes recommends that more recreative
and continuous exercise be substituted.
and for the younger personnel of the navy
he urges the adoption of the Swedish sys-
tenn OF physical training which is fol-
lowed in the British service.
In view of the high. rate of typhoid fe-
yer in the navy, the surgeon general rec
ommends that the entire personnel under
fifty years of age be vaccinated against
that SeaSe.
The establishment of a medical reserve
corps which would be available in a ma
uonal emergency Is urged by the report
and the construction of two more hospital
ships is requested. The surgeon general
also urges the adoption of the bubbling-
spring device for drinking fountains
throughout the entire service, ashore as
well as afioat.

LESS NUMBER OF CRIMES
Seven Arrests for Murder During
the Past Year.
SUMMARY OF THE CONDITIONS
District Declared to Be Showing
Diminution Of Various Grades
Of Crimes.

Mai. Sylvester, superintendent of police,
in his annual report recently submitted
to the District Commissioners pointed out
among other things, that there had been
a decided reduction in the number of
criminal cases Of greater magnitude dur
ing the last fiscal year as compared with
past years, remarking that the police de-
partment naturally feels encouraged
thereby.
THAT Of murder" the report sets forth.
(which above all others concerns per-
sonal security, was committed In seven
cases, and arrests followed. For the pre-
ceding twelve months twenty cases were
reported. OF the seven cases mentioned
two were chargeable to whites and five
| to colored persons, and it. may not be out
of place to state, in this connection, that
since 1898 only four fully uncleared muir
der mysteries are charged against the
department..
