FINANCE AND REALTY

Members of the Washington stock Ex-
change are much in the dark as to the
definite plans of the great holding COM
pany which may take over ownership
and control of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, which may
or may not consolidate the two systems
of street railways. and which may or
may not include in it's operation several
more Of the public utilities of the Capt.
tai As a consequence there is not much
doing these days on, the local exchange.
Holders of stocks in the public utility
corporations do not know whether to
buy or SELL They are for the moment
acting on the principle that 1t is better
to hold what they have and sit pat In
the game.
Yesterday the market was exceedingly
dull with no change In prices and al
most no business. The situation is one
which does not invite large trading,
and few securities are offered or sold.

1000 LIVES LOST
 ] PROPERTY DAMAGE WILL REACH APPROPRIATELY $2O,- OOO,O ,OOO.
Cloudbursts Have Wrecked Two Cities.-Famine and PestiI-
 ence.

Mexico City, July 15.--A special meeting of the cabinet with President Madero was called. today, and it is probable that federal troops will inn mediately be rushed to the state of Guanajuato, where .cloudbursts have wrecked two cities and many smaller towns. Incomplete reports say that probably 1000 people lost their lives while the property damage will reach S2O, 100000. The greatest danger now is from famine and the govern ment may rush relief trains to the scene. All crops within an area of 1 900 square miles have been swept away, foodstuffs in the larger cities and Villages were ruined by the wa ters and the greatest suffering has reSulted.0
 Over 2,0O0 laborers have already been sent from here to aid in clear ing the debris from the larger cities was immediately sent back to Mexico City to send no more men until food was furnished as there was no way of feeding the imported laborers.
 Probably the worst conditions exist at GuanajAato, the capital of the state, which was struck by a cloud burst. The entire country surround ing the city was submerged. Thou sands of peons are wandering through the streets in search of food. Women and children are without shelter or ly crippled by the flood and only meagre reports have been received. It is feared that when communication is fully re-esta blished it will be found that additional hundreds have died from hunger and exposure.

DEATHS IN JUNE
 IN CONNECTICUT
Tuberculosis Caused More Than 12O
 of Them-Othe Causes

Hartford, July 15-The June report of the State Board of Health, issued today, shows 1,194 deaths, in the State for the month, 192 less than in May and "A more than a year ago. The deaths from infectious disease num- bered 174. Of the infectious diseases, consumption led with a total of 121, pneumonia caused 85 deaths, heart dis- ease 12S accidents and violence were responsible for 1O7, and 161 died from diseases of the nervous system.
 Dr.. Joseph W. Townsend, secretary of the board, states that the mortality from typhoid fever is about F per cent of the reported cases, a fact that shows a laxity in reporting that is not scommendabde. The greatest advance in typhoid prevention of recent years, he says, has been vaccination. He speaks of the success with which it was employed in the typhoid epidemic in Torrington, a year ago, as an evil dence Of it's popularity, and cites how the members of military company of the National Guard in anticipation of the summer encampment asked to be vaccinated against the disease. which was done. He cites President Taft as saying that of what he con- sidered the five most important achievements of the past year, vacci- nation came second and as an exam pie pointed out how 10000 troops had been mobilized in Texas without dc- veloping a single case of the dis ease.
 There were 35 towns in which there were no deaths during thc month and the registrars of eight towns failed to make reports.
