UMBRELLA BILLY" DIES.
Familiar Figure About City Passes
Away at Asylum.

Umbrella Billy is dead He was a ia
miliar figure about the city for many
years, and those who are familiar with
him have already missed his visits to
their offices and other places of business.
Few, probably. knew his real name was
William III. Wilson, or that he had any
home ties.
The man who had been 50 Familiarity
known as Umbrella Billy was looked
upon as an itinerant umbrella member
He was thought to have lived from hand
to mouth and TO have called home the
last place he had hung up his hat. Billy
had a sense of humor about him that
was appreciated by those with whom ne
came In contact.
He had resided at No. 3o1 Missouri
avenue during recent months. Several
days ago he became so i'll that the author
tiles removed him to the Washington
Asylum Hospital.
Two days ago the patient breathed his
last. Then ar effort was made to locate
his friends. His room in the Missouri
avenue house was visited. and the police
took charge of his effects He had told
the physicians that he was a native OF
West Virginia. but did not say from what
part of the state he had come. His
parents were born in Ireland, he told
them, but they had died years ago.
There was nobody to give directions or
to pay an undertaken for his services. and
the body of the once popular umbrella
mender was moved to the morgue. 1t is
still there, but If not soon claimed the
be disposed of in accordance with law.
and, Wilson not having made sug-
Eestion to the contrary, the body will be
cremated.

SCARLET FEVER INCREASE
CASES MOSTLY OF MILD TYPE,
HOWEVER.
No Occasion for Alarm, in Opinion
of Health Oficials-More
School Inspectors.

Although ten additional cases of scarlet
fever were reported at the health office
Yesterday the officials of the contagious
disease service do not believe there should
be as much alarm as apparently exists.
The figures on the books would indicate
a smal-sized epidemic but the character
of the individual cases is not of the most
dangerous sort. There are now 261 cases
in the District, and the majority is to be
found among school children.
DR. Woodward told Star reporter YES
terday that the disease is spread over

demic. if il is to be called by that name,
is responsible for its prevalence in large
measure.

fore the disease begins to show Its Symp-
toms. In that way a child may go to
school and stay there az the desk two
or three days before teacher or a
medical inspector is attracted to the
child by the signs of sickness. Mean
time other children become infected.
Il think. too, that the conditions of
that the Commissioners request for three
school nurses is a wise one. Additional
school inspectors are also needed as we
cannot maintain anything like a proper
medical supervision of the schools under
present conditions.
The schools are being disnfected

we are doing all we can to check scarlet

ROW OVER DIVISION OF WORK.
Navy Yard Controversy Between
Plumbers and Electricians.

4 bitter controversy which has been in
progress between plumbers and cleo
tricians over the division of work at gov
eminent navy yards. was yesterday
brought to the attention of Assistant Sec
rotary Winthrop, who has charge of navy
yards. by a delegation of New York cleo
trical workers II was contended by the
committee that the conduits for electric
wires on battleships should be construct
ed by electricians instead of by plumbers,
as is done al present. The change was
advocated on the ground OF better service
and of economy.
The committee of New Workers consist
ed of Matthew J. Horohan, W. J. Jobson
and G. Nj. McAndrews. Representatives
Fitzgerald and Golden of New York &C
companied the committee to the Navy

REDUCING FIRE LOSSES.
Concrete Construction Urged as an
Effective Remedy.

How Ia prevent enormous losses by
fire. and how to safeguard human lives
l,y the use of concrete in buildings. with
special reference TO Washington. was set
forth in a lecture at the Y. NJ. &. a.
last night, the lecturer being Edward p.
Cow.,. of the Franklin Institute, Phil
;sdelphia.
The lecturer said that the fire losses
of the United States in 1907 and 1906
We're s2ta, 1000 and $444VfW.MN. re-
spectiveIy The toll In human lives by
fire in that period. he said. more
lthan 5000 These losses, in comparison
with fire losses in Europe, were SO vast
as to make the latter almost trivial in
comparison. Statistics showed European
capita, while that of the United States
averaged little over S..
1T is evident there must be some rem
edy,'' he said. The ratio of loss in
America is so large that II must be
necessarily susceptible of reduction. A
careful study of the question has indi-
Gated that concrete buildings-concrete
in every phase of the construction-will
afford remedy. and substantial one.
that all infiammable material be eliminat
ed from building construction. and some
reliable fire resistant used in its place.
Numerous experimental tests have
been made. showing the value of con-
crete resisting material. but
the best proof of it's ability to resist the
heat of a severe fire-Such as is liable
10 occur in factory house--iies in
the fact that concrete has actually with
stood very severe fires more successfully
than have terra Gotta and various other
