TAKING NO CHANCES.
Experts Inspect All Oysters Coming
From Potomac River Beds.

Officials in charge of the food inspec-
ton division of the Agricultural Depart
ment are taking no chances of disease
germ oysters being sold on this market,
and despite the fact that the bivalves
now being brought here from the lower
Potomac are taken from beds outside the
territory said by the department experts
to be infected with typhoid, inspectors
were at the wharf yesterday and took
samples Of oysters from several of the
vessels lying in the oyster docks. These
will be taken to the bureau of chemistry
of the Agricultural Department, where
the experts will make an examination of
them, and If found containing germs they
will be condemned.
As the vessels now coming into port
are bringing small cargoes the inspectors
must have the tests made quickly. The
vessels get into port and hasten sales, SO
that at this season they seldom remain
in port over twenty-four hours. Prose-
cutions for selling impure food in this
city will follow the finding Of bad oys-
tiers.
The vessel masters would like to know
how they are to discover the oysters are
not. good until after they are inspected,
as they are taking all precautions to
bring good stock from the beds below
Blakistone's Island, the territory the
Agricultural Department has pronounced
to be all right.

FINDING HOME FOR GIRL
PROVES DIFFICULT TASK
Ran Away From Fathers
House and Sister Cannot
Afford to Care for Her.

Fifteen-year- old Nettie Rice has been
drifting between her fathers home in
Boyds, Md, her sisters home in this
city, the Juvenile Court and the House
OF Detention for the last four weeks.
and no one seems to know just what to
do with her. To add to her troubles she
probably will have to undergo an
operation. and spend four Or five weeks
in hospital
Nettie says she ran away from her
father. W. Scott Rice, and step-mother,
because they treated her badly. She
came to Washington and lived with
her sister, Mrs. W. I. Ramey, at SOC eth
street southwest, for four months.
Monday her sister told her she would
like to keep her here, but could not af-
ford to any longer. and that she must
prepare to go home the next day. Net
tie said nothing. but disappeared that
night. The police were notified of her
disappearance, and found her Tuesday
morning at the home of friend
She was taken to the House Of De-
tent1on. where she was formally
charged with being destitute of a
proper home. in order to hold her until
something could be done. Thursday
Miss King of the board of children
guardians took Nettie to the Juvenile
Court to see II Judge Callan could help
IN Strengthening out matters. The
stepmother appeared in court, as did an
aunt. Miss Kate Rice, who lives here.
Refuses to Go Back.
Judge Callan heard the aunt and the
stepmother, and then told Nettie she
had better go back to her father. But
Notffo nj hy,f 7ofl
fusing to go.
I will run away again as soon as
cam" she told the judge.
''Nettie seems to be a good girl. and
her sister, with whom she has been NV
ing, is very fond of her." Judge Callan
remarked. "She would not refuse abso-
lutely to go back to her father if she had
not some good reason. Why isn't her
father in court?''
The other members Of the family ex-
planned that the father was ill, but would
come to the city as soon as he was able
to make the trip.
Nettie spent Thursday night at the
House of Detention. and was back in
court yesterday, when the only new de-
velopment was the statement that the
girl has third interest in the property
at Boyds, which was left her by her
mother. One of the aunts had just told
the judge that her father could not af-
ford to send Nettie to a. school when this
fact about the ownership of the property
was brought out. The girls sister told
Judge Calian about 1t.
The court was told. that the father could
come to court Monday, and Nettie, at her
own request, will spend the time until
then at the House Of Detention. With
her fathers permission, Nettie will have
the operation mentioned performed at
one of the local hospitals before her
future home is decided on.

was the Eau revoir' of the players and
the management, and despite the thrilling
incident earlier in the evening at the Poll
Theater, when Miss Jewel yodeled a
panic-stricken audience into quiet, and
finally into laughter. when it believed the
house was on fire, proved an enjoyable
occasion for the two score or more who
gathered around the table.
Director Andrews Of the company acted
as POSTMASTER and everybody made a
happy speech. Mr.. RentOn announced
that Mr.. Poll had come to Washington
to stay. He said the season had been a
remarkably successful one, that the man.
agement was delighted with the reception
of the company in Washington and that
it would return in the spring to renew its
stock performances until the following
fall. Director Andrews was compli-
mentary to the players and said he had
never had control of more tractaple
organization. The players themselves,
ure and pride they felt in their Washing
ton engagement and declared they would
be glad to return.
Audience Feared Fire.
The incident that nearly caused the
panic at the theater earlier in the even
ing was said to be due to the accidental
striking of match by a stage hand, but
it served to excite the audience almost to
state of panic, although there was no
danger of fire at any time. After others
had unsuccessfully tried to allay the
fears of the excited people, Miss Jewel
began to yodel as she says she often does
to attract the attention Of her mother or
her sister at home. 1t was quite suffl-
cient, for the audience became at once
quiet and then began TO laugh at the in
cident
