ficulty, SO far as quantity is concerned.

mand will not be very heavy and that
disappointed.

epidemic OF PINK EYE;
STUDENTS ON FURL0UGH
Virginia Military Institute
Closes Until January 4. !
Statement Issued.

LEXINGTON, Va, November 22-On
account OF an epidemic Of pink eye and
several cases of typhoid fever at the
Virginia Military Institute. the students
were dismissed yesterday on furlough
until January 6.
Gen.. Nichols, the superintendent. pub
lished the following order:
For reasons hereinafter stated the
corps Of cadets is hereby furloughed from
! pm. Monday. November q, 1910, to
"Wednesday, January 4. 1911.
Typhoid Also Develops.
'In taking the very unusual action an
nounced in paragraph Of this letter. the
superintendent is actuated by the follow
ing considerations:
mo. 1.-The development among the
cadets during the last few days Of FIVE
cases Of typhoid fever, with unavoidable
apprehension Of addition to this number
mo. 2The prevalence of pink eye in
the corps, nearly all tfe cadets being af-
fected, many reinfected after recovery,
preventing the use Of the eyes In study"
commended furlough of several weeks.
which in his opinion is the only way to
rid the institute Of the disease.
An eye specialist who came over from
Lynchburg at the request Of Gen. Nichols
to examine some Of the cases recon-
mended the same thing as the only way
to cure the disease, for as fast as 1t Is
cured 1t Is caught again. some having
had it on and on from the first OF Sep
TENDER.
Local Cause Ascribed.
When 1t became known that the cadets
had been furloughed President Denny OF
Washington and Lee University posted
a notice in which he said:
''It is true, as reported, that there are
several cases Of fever at the institute
hospital. due beyond question to some
local cause. 1t is restricted to the insti-
tute, since there Is not single case in
the town or in the university. On the
contrary there has been no session, GER
tainly within the last ten years. when
there has been such remarkable freedom
from sickness Of any kind at Washington
and Lee"
From physicians of the town 1t is learn
ed that there has been no case OF fever
in Lexington for several months.
But Five Cadets Escape.
The superintendent made public also a
statement that pink eye affects all Glasses
and study is impossible. Only five cadets
Of the 1886 present are unaffected. Many
students who had recovered were again
refnfected. The cases seemed hopeless
unless cadets were separated, an impos-
sibility while they were kept In the bar
racks In addition, five cases Of typhoid
developed suddenly. and 1--WE other cases
are under suspicion. An unprecedented
drought, extending through several months,
has resulted in a greatly diminished wa
ter supply, a contributing cause doubtless
10 existing conditions. Under all the cir.
cumstances, IL was deemed safer and
best to dismiss Temporarily.

Alleged Admissions.

The police say Banks admitted that he
took the robe, which is the property of
DR.. Harrison Crook Of the, Sherman
apartment house. Another robe which
was recovered by the detective and
which DR.. w. F. Patten Of Pill North

cred third robe. but as yet 1t has not
been identified
When the police asked Banks his ad-
dress he told them he resided at 936 u

JUSTICES Of DISTRICT
DON ROBES Of OFFICE
Gowns Adopted After Long
Urging by Committee
of the Bar.

The justices Of the Supreme Court OF
the District were investured this morn
ing in the silk robes of judicial authority
which they decided to adopt some time
ago.
No ceremony marked the legal robing
After meeting for a few minutes in the
general term bench, the justices proceed
ed to their respective courtrooms, and
the wheels of justice went round in their
usual course.
Urged by the Bar.
Following the robing of the District
Court of Appeals, the Bar Association
renewed it's effort to bring about the
adoption of the gowns. Previous efforts
to this end had been baked by the
opinions Of some members of the court
and the lack of disposition on the part
of the appellate court, as then constf-
tuted. to get away from the old order OF
things.
Objections Are Overcome.
Nothing daunted, John B. Larner,
George A. King and Charles H. Cragin.
the robing committee of the Bar Associa-
ton, recently met the six justices in con-
sultation and renewing their arguments
in favor of the robes overcame all op-
position, and today was set for the wear
ing the judicial insignia for the first
time. ~
The gowns are of heavy twilled silk
and are similar to those worn by the
justices of the United States Supreme
Court and of the Court of Appeals.

SINGLE-TRACK RAIL WAY,
GOTHAM TO WASHINGTON
Monorail System to Be Tested From
Philadelphia to Atlantic
City.

NEW YORK, November 22-Word has
been received here of the formation in
New Jersey of a company, OF which Mr..
Ellis D. Thompson is president, to OPP
crate a monorail system of cars from
Philadelphia TO Atlantic City and Cape
May. 1t is understood that the proposed
line will be later extended northward to
New York and westward to Washing
ton, through Baltimore.
Interest has been aroused here by the
fact that this new system of railroad OPP
Grafton may pass through this city. The
monorail car was invented by Baltimor-
can. Mr.. Howard II. Tunis, and this lends
additional interest to the proposed extern
sion in this direction.
At present line of single-track cars is
in operation in New York city and runs
through Pelham Park for two or three
miles. 1t is operated under a franchise
formerly owned by the Interurban Rail-
way Company
Success Is Predicted.
The Offer, IS of the company declare
the invention has proved its usefulness
and practicab'lity, and will eventually
be a success when the trunk system con-
Meeting New York and the National Cap
ital is in operation.
In the test 10 which the monorail cal
was subjected before it was accepted by
the public service commission of New
York 14.OCo pounds OF sandbags anc
eleven persons were placed upon the cal
now in operation. and while the weight
was shifted TO different parts of the cal
a speed of forty miles an hour was main
tanned.
Henry w. Williams of this city. WHIT
l. president of the American Monorai
Company, stated yesterday that under
ordinary circumstances a .monorail cal
could easily make leo miles an hour. Th'
ability of the car TO excel in speed, h
said is due TO the fact that there /.
little friction between the wheels and the
single rail, and the light weight and the
shane OF the car itself.

DISPOSAL OF MILK PLANT
UNDER CONSIDERATION
District Authorities May Decide to
Appropriate for Purchase Of
Straus Laboratory.

Whether or not the Commissioners will
ask Congress to authorize the taking
over of the Straus milk laboratory, 1923
H street northwest. to be operated as a
municipal dairy, will be decided after a
hearing set for Wednesday, November 30.
Mr. Straus will probably discontinue the
plant January /. according to letter
sent to the Commissioners. At present
the Commissioners are undecided as to
their course.
Urging that pure milk be distributed in
some manner to the poor Of the city,
Emile Berliner addressed a letter to the
Commissioners today. He argues that
municipal distribution of milk Is as
much a part Of municipal philanthropy
as the continuance OF Fairgrounds, the
operation of charitable organizations. the
maintenance of hospitals, asylums and
other homes of the sort.

a great caucus of the Butler-MOre-

which it was announced that Jonn
Motley Morehead had sol votes for
Republican State Chairman, and with
the Duncanites claiming 212 majority
for Carl Duncan the Republican State
Convention began its session at 1926
today in the Greensboro Opera house,
later adJourning until $50 to meet
in the Greensboro auditorium, as the
opera house had proven too small for
the delegates and spectators.
The opera house seats 1850 people,
the estimate being that the crowd in
it reached 1900, there being many
spectators. The delegates occupied
the lower floor, where there we're

but despite these and the opening
speech from State Chairman Spencer

enthusiastic cheering. The great vol
