Baltimore, Md, February 26: Johns
Hopkins hospital was practically clos
ed today to patients and visitors and
a suspension Of all class work at the
medical school was ordered in con-
sequence of an outbreak of diphtheria
in the hospital and among the medical
students. There are thirty persons
suffering from the disease including
doctors, nurses, students and patients.
To prevent a spread of the disease
within the hospital all unaffected pa
tients who are in condition TO be moved
are being sent to their homes, while
those who have contracted 1t are be-
ing separated in the two wards, where
the disease was first discovered. The
eight students who are affected have
been removed from their boarding
houses to the hospital. DR.. Rupert Nor
ton, acting superintendent Of the hos
pital, said today that every precaution
had been taken to prevent the spread
Of the disease inside and outside the
hospital, that the hospital authorities
had the trouble we'll in hand and that
there was no reason for alarm.
New York, February 25: Brooklyn
bridge broke it's record as a scene OF
QdTS QeNlllIy ySSlCIOdy. ~ ouASiuS va
professional jumper never thrilled the
throng of bridge promenaders more
than did the appearance Of dashing
young blonde on the great bridge late
in the afternoon. She was attired In
the new "harem" skirt-the first of the
millions of New York women publicly
to venture the new affectation of mans
clothes, which has stirred continental
cities to riot. 1t nearly came to that
frin tro f1N Q
blocked by the crowds which collected
in her wake and followed her bold lead
right into newspaper, row postoftlce
square and down Broadway, finally
vanishing into the underground station
of the Hudson tubes. The boldest OF
newspaper reporters fell down on the
story, all baking at the suggestion that
some one inquire the heroine's name.
There were few who even observed the
detail that she was blonde, that her
eyes were blue and that she wore
black fur coat. The focus Of attention
was on the split skirt, little below
the knees disclosing bloomer-like con-
trivances tightly gathered up about the
ankles.
Washington, February 20: In pass
ing the sundry civil bill, carrying ap-
proximately $140,000,000, tonight, the
house made a new record. Never be-
fore in the memory Of the capitol
attaches has the sundry civil bill, the
biggest of all the supply bills been put
through the house in two days under
the general rules and without go
of any sort being resorted to. This
fact is taken as another evidence that
the house is doing all it can to avoid
an extra session and Is anxious to get
the last Of the appropriation bills in the
hands of the senate in ample time to
permit of their consideration. Only the
general deficiency bill remains to be
passed by the house. Constituting
what is believed to be another record,
the house passed $67,000,000 Of the to-
tai in the sundry civil bill by "unani-
public building items, aggregating more
than $21,000, 900, were adopted without
being read by the clerk The general
Panama canal appropriations, amount
ing to nearly $46,000,000 were passed
without discussion or question OF any
sort. An item of $4,000, 900 for the for
tification of the canal was considered
as an entirely separate provision.
Washington, February %: The new
Japanese treaty Of trade and naviga-
tion was ratified last night after two
hours executive session Of the senate.
While the apprehension of western
StIldlOTS lIldI llC ~ Sdly Nv
down the bars to coolie labor was not
entirely removed, these senators con-
tented themselves with expressing their
solicitude. They interposed no objec-
ton to ratification. The action OF this
government in promptly confirming the
new agreement is expected to do more
to prove the feeling Of cordiality that
this country has for Japan than any
thing that has been done for many
years. The effect will be to permit ia
pan to enter at once upon reorgani-
zation of its fiscal system and the max
ing of new tariff with all nations. Ja-
pans treaties with other powers are
to expire July II next. That with the
United States, by reason Of its later
ratification, would have continued until
the same date year later had not this
government consented to its expiration
at the same time as the others. Failure
to have ratified the new treaty would
have delayed the operation Of the ia:
panese programme for a year beyond
the time when it was planned to put 1t
into effect.
- Two masked burglars smashed
their way into the county Jail at War
rior's Run, Pa, few days ago, enter
ed the cell of the only prisoner, rob-
bing him of all his money, $29, and
escaped. The prisoner, Stanley jan
ders, was locked up in default of bail
on a charge Of disorderly conduct
No one lives at the Jail and after jan
ders had been locked up he was alone.
About o'clock, according to his story,
he was awakened by noise and saw
two men break the glass, bend aside
the iron bars protecting the window,
and enter. One Of them thrusting a
revolver through the cell door at jan
ders, ordered him to hand over his
money. Janders refused and the men,
who had found a heavy axe, began
battering at the cell door and quickly
broke the lock. Then the two jump
ed on the prisoner and quickly went
through his pockets and got his mon
ey. Janders, after the men left, got
out of the Jail, ran to the home of the
chief of police, aroused him and told
of the burglary. Not until he had
seen the Jail did the chief believe
what Janders told him. The only
trace of the burglars is their foot
marks in the snow, and these were
lost as soon as they got to the main
road.
