HEALTH OFFICE LACKS
MONEY FOR ITS WORK
Inspectors Neglect Other Du-
ties to Investigate Cases
of Typhoid.

Because of the limited amount of money
at the command of the health Office to be
used in contagious disease service it be-
came known today that Dr. Woodward
has found it necessary to conduct his
typhoid fever Investigations through the
medium of the inspectors in the sanitary
service, and by so doing take away just
so much time and effort from the watch
fulness and care ordinarily used in keep
ing the city clean.
Ten thousand dollars has been allotted
to the District to be used in personal
services in the contagious disease end OF
the health department, and $4,000 is al
iowed for other purposes in connection
with conta zion. 1t is declared $4,000 is
not enough to conduct the contagious dis
ease service, if contagious diseases run a
course similar to past years.
Needs Not Understood.
Although DIR. Woodward has not criti-
cised the action of Congress, he said this
morning that he is sure there is a com
plete misunderstanding at the Capitol re-
garding the work and needs of the con
tagious disease service in the District
All inspectors of the health office make
during the day in the way OF dirty back
yards filthy alleys, stopped plumbing, I'M
lawful dirty conditions of all sorts, anC
there are thousands of them, as any one
who has ever waded through the regula-
tons will see. This work consumes long
hours and covers large territories. With
the greatly increased number of typhoid
cases that have to be looked into, the
sanitary work of the city is suffering tC
the extent of several hours a day per in
spector, except where the inspectors work
overtime.
Every Case Investigated.
In an effort to find out the causes for
the annual outbreak Of this fever, every
case is being looked into as carefully as
possible Each case has to be report
ed. When the reports come in the in
spectors are given cards with names and
addresses and they are now expected to
visit every case, find out whether there
is anything insanitary about the dwell
ing. look into the milk and water supply.
examine the plumbing. etc.
In looking over the reports that were
made this morning it was seen that sew
eral inspectors have had to devote from
four to six hours a day from their reg
ular sanitary work to the interrogating
of typhoid patients families.

everlasting smile was much in evidence

End of Long Pursuit.

The bringing of Vending to Louisville
marks the end of one of the longest pur-
suits in detective history The return
trip from San Francisco to Louisville
stretches the real hunt of about LOCO
miles to total of over 1900 miles
Not until May 80, the date that the
murdered body of Alma Kellner was
found in a cellar beneath st. Johns
Parochlal School, was Vending con-
nected with the disappearance of the
child. 1T was believed that the child had
been kidnapped. Numerous letters were
received by the kellner family and Frank
Fehr, wealthy brewer and an uncle of the
glrl, demanding ransom for her return.
tour months prior to the discovery of
the body Vending had left Louisville
quietly. not even letting his wife know
that he was going away. When bloody
clothlhs was round in Weddings room
he was charged with the murder and the
wheels OF the continuous search for
Vending were set in motion.

Program of Improvement.

The program of the committee, which
will now be taken up in earnest by
the different committees of the associa-
ton, is as follows
Double tracking of the car line from
Anacostia to Congress Heights, and the
running of through cars from Washing
ton, considered the most important i'm
provement, is already promised. Gen.
Harries some time ago notified the Of
fcers Of the association that the WORK
will be done either during the present
year or in 1911. The railroad feature
of the association also looks to the extern
sion of the car line in Southerly direc-
ton to the District line and Prince
George county.
Completion of sewer and water service
throughout the suburb is ranked second
in importance, some of this work having
already been done and more provided
for by appropriation Of Congress.
Further and more extensive improve
ment of the public streets and roads is
called for as the third item. with the as
phalting of the principal streets as proper
in the future.
Opening of 4th street from Congress
Heights to the District line is made the
fourth item. The association is on record
for through and straight streets rather
than winding roads.

their father did not desire Maj. Crowell to

that Elida J. 3. Crowell had stated to
him that William II. Crowell had tried to
write something prior to his death, but
she was unable to read it all, and that
after his death "she communicated with
him through 'slate-writing medium.
She then produced states and read from
them a statement which to the af1ant's
best recollection was ideptfcai with the
statement submitted as the copy claimed
