NO AID FOR BARROW.
Gompers Says Accused Lawyer Must
Fight His Own Battles.

Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, returned last
night from New York, where he had been
for the last few days.
Mr. Gompers, when asked if the fedora
ton will help Attorney Clarence DarrOw,
who is under indictment at Los Angeles
for alleged jury bribng, said that he does
not believe that Attorney Darrow had
any connection with the alleged bribery
of Mcnamara jurors or talesmen. He
said that he believes that barrow is in
nocent of the offense charged, and that
he will have no trouble in proving his
innocence. In that case, Mr.. Gompers
said, the attorney will need no help from
the federation. IF, however. Darrow
really did make any attempt to bride a
juror or jurors, Mr.. Gompers said, the
step was not taken with the sanction of
the federation; it was not and would not
be countenanced or condoned by that or
ganization, and no assistance would be
offered by the federation to Attorney OAR
row, who will have to fight his own
battle.

PHOSPHATE VESSEL ASHORE.
Steamer Dorothy Carried Aground
by Drifting Ice.

The Bull line steamer Dorothy, one
of the fleet that brings phosphate rock
from Florida points to the Alexandria
Chemical and Fertilizer Company at
Alexandria, is hard and fast ashore at
the entrance to the Patapsco river be-
tween Sandy point and Seven-Foot knoll,
in spite of the best efforts of the big
iceboats Latrobe and Annapolis and the
tug Hamilton to float her. The steamer
was on her way from Boca Grande. Fla,
to Baltimore when she encountered heavy
foes coming down from the upper bay.
In spite of the efforts of the powerful
machinery Of the ship, the drift ice was
more powerful and carried her ashore.
1t is probable that she will be fioated
without damage. The phosphate rock
fleet that brings the material to the
Alexandria plant has been unfortunate.
Since the first Of the year the steamship
Carolyn has been lost on the Maine
coast and the steamer Wilhelmina went
ashore on the Massachusetts, coast and
was on the beach for about two weeks
before she was floated. She was not in

While Mrs. William Flammer was at
market yesterday between 10 and 1
o'clock a robber entered her home at
1867 Newton street northwest and. after
ransacking the house, stole jewelry and
money Of the value of several hundred
dollars.
Detective Berman of police headquar-
tiers. who made an investigation, was
told by Mrs. Flammer that when she left
her home in the morning the doors and
windows had been locked. When she
returned in the afternoon she found
that entrance had been gained by means
of front basement door.
The intruder, after breaking the glass
in the front door, reached inside and ur-
bolted the door. After reaching the Gel

door which led up stairs into the kitchen.

noise, the person, however, had but little
trouble in prying open the door.

URGE new HOSPITAL
Chamber of Commerce Heads
Favor Emergency Plan.
CONGRESS DEPENDED UPON
Appropriation Of 100000 Needed
to Begin Work-Committee
Report Accepted.

IF Congress should be as mean to the
| proposed municipal hospital in the mat
ter OF appropriations as it has been to
the public schools the time might come
when 1t would be necessary to shut down
such a hospital said President James
f. Oyster of the Chamber of Commerce
and also president Of the board of edu-
cation. at special meeting of the board
or directors of the chamber last night
Inc meeting was called to pass upon a
report of the public health committee
dealing with a proposed appropriation of
SloO,OCO for new Emergency Hospital
and with the proposal of the board Of
charities that municipal hospital be
erected In Washington to care for all the
charity work paid for by the District
The recommendations of the public
heaith committee were to the effect that
an appropriation of 100000 should be
mace by Congress for new Emergency
the board of charities should be strongly
opposed. The board of directors voted
ltS approval of these Recommendations
ana the report of the committee, and
PASSED the report on to a special meeting
OF the entirely chamber for final action
tomorrow night 1t was decided that the
questions involved were matters of pub
tic policy, and that under the constitution
SUCH questions must be passed upon by
the whole organization instead of the
board of directors.
Desires Quick Action.
The motion to approve the report and
send 1t on to the entire chamber was
made by D. J. Callahan, first vice presi-
dent, after thorough discussion. Only
one vote was cast in opposition by Ralph
r. Lee, who explained that in view of
the fact that quick action was desired
IN regard to the Emergency Hospital ap-
preparation he favored final action i'm
mediately by the board, so that it might
urge upon Congress the need of making
the appropriation.
Dr. Harry M. Kaufman, chairman of
the committee on public health, explained
the recommendations of his committee.
He told the board that a bill for the
appropriation of 100000 for the Elmer
sency Hospital was before a subcomnit-
tee of the House, and that action might
be taken on it any day. Dr. Kaufman
laid stress upon the need in Washington
of an emergency hospital, equipped for
emergency work. The Emergency Hos
pltal must move from it's present quar-
tiers. which have been condemned for
government use, within short time, he
reminded the board, and was asking for
100000 to aid in the construction of
"a notwithstanding thousand dollar
building.

Calls Plan Impractical.

DR.. Kaufman said that the plan of the
hospital to do all the charity work paid
for by the District included the emer-
gency work. To do the emergency work
at a hospital located four miles from the
center of the city was impractical, he
said, and the proposition to carry on this
work by means of first aid stations as
proposed by the board of charities, would
be very expensive. since each first aid
station would have to be a complete hos
pital in itself, cared for by a competent
physician.
DR.. Kaufman read a resolution adopted
by the Medical Society of the District op-
posing vigorously the plan to do away
with the present cooperative system, by
which Congress appropriates money for
the care Of INDECENT patients in the vari-
Gus hospitals of the District. He said
that the cooperative plan was being
adopted more and more in cities of the
north, and referred to the erection of a
great hospital in Pittsburgh recently by
the cooperative system. A letter from
Robert N. Harper. former president of
the chamber, indorsing the report of the
public health committee. was laid before
the board by DR.. kaufman.
Mr.. Harper advocated also the erection
of a great hospital in this city, costin,
perhaps a million d RS, which should
be model for the rid. He said tina
he believed that wealthy men of the
country would endOw such an institution
ii Congress made an appropriation also
In this hospital Mr.. Harper would have
only private rooms, for the rich and poo
alike, and he would make the service sc
fine that the rich would seek treatment
there. The care of rich and poor alike
would be the same.

EXPLORER TO LECTURE
ON LITTLE KNOWN RACE
Frank Edward Johnson Will
Talk Tomorrow Before
Geographic Society.

Frank Edward johnson, the American
explorer and Investigator whose articles
on the hitherto unknown inland regions
of northern Africa have appeared in re-
cent issues of the National Geographic
Magazine. will lecture tomorrow after
noon and evening before the National
Geographic Society, in the new Masonic
Temple, on his recent travels, explora-
tions and Investigations among the an
cient Troglodytes Of the north African
hinterland.
These Troglodytes are among the most
ancient peoples of the earth, being au-
tochthonous. or, in other words. having
originated in the places where the tribes
still live. They are prehistoric, as the
earliest Egyptian inscriptions show that
the Troglodytes were living at the time
the Inscriptions were made, 1000 years
ago; and they still occupy the cave towns
in which their remote ancestors dwelt
before the days of the Pharaohs. The
Troglodytes are mentioned in the writ
ings Of Herodotus and Sallust, $500 years
ago. Mr.. johnson was the first white
man to visit and investigate them.
Many of Mr. JohnSon's investigations
were conducted several hundred miles
within the Sahara desert where he was
accompanied only by Arab and Bedouin
guides. For his work he was decorated
by the Bey of Tunis and by the French
government.
Collection of Photographs.
His collection of lantern slides and
original photographs includes scores of
the most magnificent desert scenes and
photographs of the cave dwellers towns
and villages, as we'll as photographs of
typical desert men, women, dancing girls,
children, etc.
Under contract to lecture before the
National Geographic Society, Mr.. john
son travelled more than 1900 miles to
fill his engagement. He will return to
Africa in short time to continue his
exploration work. He States that before
he left Tunis the incipient revolt in that
tourists need have no fear that visit to
Tunis might be dangerous. as conditions
there now are normal and all visitors
are perfectly safe. Mr.. Johnson left
Tripoli on the French liner Carthage on
the last trip of the vessel before she was
seized by the Italians.
He is native of Norwich. Conn.,.
and has done considerable work for
the Smithsonian Institution, the Ma
tiona Museum and the Department of
Agriculture. His work has been recog-
nized by the French government, which
has conferred on him a membership in
the French Academy and a decoration
pour merite.'' While in Washington
Mr.. Johnson is stopping at the Cosmos
Club.

E. c. Graham and Joseph Strasburger
both spoke of the necessity for a purely
emergency hospital in Washington. CEN
trally located, and approved the report of
the committee. President Oyster, while
declaring that he believed with the COM
mittee that the Emergency Hospital
should be continued said that the matter
was Of SO much importance the chamber
should act only after the fullest consid-
GRAFTON. He referred to the proposition
to do away with the support given the
Columbia Hospital by the government,
which is favored by the board of char
tiles, and declared that he was in favor
of continuing the Columbia Hospital
In this connection, DR.. Kaufman quoted
Senator Gallinger, chairman of the Sem
ate District committee, to the effect that
if it came to a choice he preferred to
lose the board of charities rather than
the Columbia Hospital.
