at GREENE Miller, the seventeen-year-
old daughter, and bit her in the leg.
Her eight-year-old brother. Anthony,
tried to strike at the dog, which turned
on him and bit his leg. smaller boy

CORONER'S Jury DECIDES
RAWN WAS SELF-SLA|N
Whether 1t Was Accident or
Suicide the Jury Leaves to
Decision of Court.

CHICAGO, H., July 29.-The coroner
jury impaneled to inquire into the death
of Ira Griffith Rawn, late president of
the Monon railroad, returned an open
verdict at 3 o'clock this morning, but
found that he died from shot fired
from his own weapon by his own hand.
The verdict is as follows: 1--WE, the
jurors sworn on oath to inquire into the
death Of Ira G. Rawn at his home in
Wfnnetka on July 20, find that he came
to his death at 30 o'clock on the morn
ing of July 20 from shock and hemorrhage
caused by bullet from his own revolver
fired by his own hand, but whether this
was accidental or with suicidal intent this
jury is. unable to determine, except that
the location of the wound and the type
of the revolver render the accident theory
less probable
Verdict Carefully Worded.
The verdict was SO worded as to show
that Mr.. Rawn was believed by the
jurors to have been responsible for his
own death, but the question of suicide
or accident was left to be fought out by
the family and the insurance companies.
1t took several hours delibera ton
d
chief points involved in the long
discussion was how to word the
document in such a manner as not to de-
prive Rawn's family of any legal rights
the members might have under the $1lO,-
600 of accident insurance policies left by
him.
Two of the six jurors held out for
long time for a verdict of sdicide; two
others held to the accident theory. The
verdict was a compromise between these
divergent views.
Coroner Hoffman, was much disap-
pointed that he had been unable to pro-
cure witnesses who might clear up the
alleged connection of Rawn with huge
frauds in contracts with the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, when Rawn was vice presi-
dent of that road. Representatives of
the railroad declined to testify, and put
the refusal on the ground that to give
information would imperil pending litiga-
ton.

Fifteen Per Cent Mortality
From InfantiIe Paralysis.
THREE DEATHS IN DISTRICT
Many Children Who Survive Are
Left Hopeless Cripples.
SCIENTISTS STUDY MALADY
Trying to Find Means of Contagion
and to Perfect a Cure-Wis-
consin Observations.

According to the records in the local
health office there have been three deaths
in the District due to acute anterior
poiomyelitis Gnfantile paralysis) since
June l. The children to die were:
Thomas Lawton Norwood, seven years
old, of 1909 l. street northwest.
Leo Martin Kramm, two years old, OF
224 14th street northwest.
Charles F. Blew, five years old of 526
d street northeast.
Various estimates have been made of
the number of cases in the city, but II
the usual death rate (15 per cent? be car
ried out it would seem that there have
been at least twenty cases since June /.
The figure would not be absolute, OF
course, because the present outbreak in
the capital may be mild one-or in
other words the disease may be present
In a not very virulent form, SO that the
number OF children to be taken sick,
most of them to suffer the dread result OF
being hopeless cripples for life, would
not be in the same relation to the number
of deaths,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-07-29
Fixing the Death Rate.

The death ratio has been placed tenta-
lively at 15 per cent as the result of sta
tistics compiled from an epidemic of
anterior poliomyelitis in acute form in
Wisconsin couple of years ago.
At the twenty-fourth annual meeting OF
the conference of state and provincial
boards of health, held in this city last
year, ample evidence was produced to
substantiate the claim that acute anterior
poliomyelitis Qnfantile paralysis) is q
communicable disease, and that It's suf-
ferers should be carefully isolated-in
fact as carefully isolated as are the suf-
fererS from diphtheria.
DR.. w. c. Woodward. the District health
officer, is thoroughly aroused over the ap-
pearance of considerable number of
cases of this dread malady among the
children of the city, and he is using all
measures in his power to induce physi-
clans to report the cases which they are
called upon to treat. and also to have the
homes of paralysis patients carefully
ouarantfned,

wisconsin during the year 1908 had
been particularly free from epidemic dis
eases until about July, when anterior
made it's appearance at Eau
Claire, a city of about 10000 population.
T his city Is we'll located from a sanitary
and applied sanitary measures
have been as well developed as in any
city of its size in the state. The infection
originated in that part of the city in
habited by people more or less of the
working class, but who have separate
homes, with lawns, and under general
conditions are well housed.
Epidemic on Dusty Streets.
1.-Two physicians reported that the dis
ease originated and was most predomi-
nant on dusty, unsprinkled streets About
the middle of September there was drop
in the temperature and slight rain, which
apparently caused temporary cessation

period the insect activity was greatly
diminished Especially was this noticed
with the common house fly"
In connection with his address DIR. Har-
Ian presented a series of statistical fig
,res in which 1t was shown that out of
100 cases ten occurred in children less
than one year old. siXty-four in children
between the ages of one and five years.
sixty-two in children between the ages

folks over sixteen. Ninety-one Of the

Believes It Communicable.

II am firmly of the opinion that polio
myelitis is communicable" said DR..
Woodward today, land until medical
science secures a more thorough knowl-
edge Of the disease it surely would seem
to be step in the right direction if all
PHYSICIANS would isolate their cases as
rapidly as they are discovered. No harm
can be done by this method and much
good may result. At least it will be pos
sible for physicians as well as for fami-
lies In which the disease appears to know
that they have taken every possible pre-
caution to prevent other children in the
neighborhood from contracting the NAL
ady and forfeiting their lives or being
made helpless cripples."
In the proceedings of the conference
of state and provincial boards of health
in June last year DR.. c. A. Harper of
Wisconsin. president of the organiza-
ton, devoted practically all of his in
troductory address to review of a
serious outbreak of infantile paralysis
in his state in the year 1908.
Those who have not come into con-
tact with this dreadful malady. or who
have not made study Of it's havoc in
visited localities. can little appreciate
the awful aftermath of such an at
Fiction" said DR.. Harper. Three hun
dred and ffty-two cases, with a NOR
tally of 1873 per cent, does not picture
the evil workings Of this disease, for
behind 1t we have more than 900 young
people made invalids by paralysis, the
permanency of which cannot at this
time be stated.
The agency bringing about this condi-
ton Of affairs in our state could not be
located. We are at a loss to know, as
has been the history of other epidemics
Of this disease, the cause for Its origin.
