Health Department In its weekly bulle-
tin, made public today. The number of
cases on record is 291, ninety-eight cases
having been reported during the week

Measles is too often spoken of as a
trivial Rilment, and while the disease
is usually benign in character, It should
not be overlooked that the total NOR
tality may be considera ble," says the
report. Aside from this, measles may
result in various unfortunate conditions,
such as impaired vision. loss of hear
ing, and perhaps establish a condition
which may invite the tuberculosis germ.
Measles Is transmitted from one person
to another. The discharge from the
nose and eyes carries the Infection

bility of any OF these complications

DRUGGIST ATTACKED
BY COLORED THUGS
DR.. ]. S. Tyree Severely Beaten
When He Seeks TO Pacify
Quarreling Woman

Attacked by a gang of colored men
armed with sticks, DR.. ]. 8. Tyree,
prominent druggist az Fifteenth and n
streets northeast, is suffering today
from numerous cuts and bruises about
the head, face and body.
Dr. Tyree was on his way TO his
home, 1923 Maryland avenue northeast,
about 80 o'clock last night, when he
was attacked. He was walking up
Maryland avenue when his attention
was attracted by a colored woman en-
gagged in an argument with some chill
dren near the corner of Fourth street.
He attempted to interfere, and the
woman ran into an alley. min
ute later a gang of colored men came
down Fourth street and started after
the druggist. Realizing that II would
be useless to run, DR.. Tyree stood his
ground.
The men surrounded him and COM
menced striking at his head. He was
struck several times, but managed to
break the force of most of the blows
with his arms. The men then ran.
DR.. Tyree said that the colored per-
sons who frequent the place have given
a great deal of trouble to residents in
the northeast section of the city.
THE matter has been taken up with
the police, but nothing has been done
about It," said the druggist this morn
ing. Now / am going to take II up
with the House and Senate committees
on the District and see II we can not
have police protection for the tax pay
ers In this part Of town"

DR.. Sigler Tells Committee,
Conditions Are Good in

Following the biief testimony of DR..
T. A. Sigler. veterinary surgeon OF
Greencastle, Ind, who was engaged by
Chairman Moss to make a secret in
vestigation at one of the largeypacking
centers, the House Committee, on Ex-

inquiry into the sensational charges OF
Congressman Nelson against the meat

committee will turn down the request
of the Wisconsin member for a general
sisier probably Will be urged as one Of
the reasons for this prospective action.
Or. Sigler said he had spent a day in
the plant OF Kingan Co.. at Indianap-
meat inspection laws.
His testimony is directly at variance
with that regarding conditions in Chi
places described by the Witnesses pro-
dueed by Congressman Nelson.
Chairman Moss. In introducing DR..
Sigier to the committee. explained that
to make an independent investigation OF
one OF the packing establishments in
order that the committee might have ex
parte and unbiased testimony. DR.. Sig
Ter admitted that he had inspected but
one packing establishment in Indianap-
oils, and he did not essay to speak of
orally.

Nelson
"Dr. Gibson. the inspector in charge"
said the secret Investigator.

Dr. Sigler said the sanitary conditions
at the indianapolis establishment were

Solicitor McCabe. representing the de-
psrtment, said he did not desire to
ask DR.. Sigler any questions and Mr..
Nelson contented himself with a brief
cross examination to emphasize the fact
that the witnes spoke of but one pack

gation covered only a day, Nav Z, and

MRS. PANKHURST
AND AIDES GUILTY.,
VERDICT HARD BLOW
Militant Suffragettes Declar-
ed to Have Acted in
Conspiracy.

LONDON, May 22-The worst blow
yet suffered by the militant suffragettes
Of Great Britain came today when
Frederick Pethick Lawrence, barrister
his wife, Mrs. Emeline Pethick Law
renee. the joint editors Of Votes for
Women and Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst,

November 1911, and March 5, last, "un-
lawfully conspired and agreed together
to commit damage and injury to prop
erty and with having aided and abetted
and procured offenses against the
malicious injuries to property act"
They had fought against conviction
bitterly, Lawrence, who defended him
self and Mrs. Pankhurst, having as
sailed the motives Of the government in
bringing prosecutions of political Of
fenses under the criminal section of
the code, and Mrs. Pankhurst, in a two
hours impassloned speech. having pro-
tested against trial before a male
magistrate and jury when the right OF
suffrage was denied her and her as
sociates.
The three convicted today, with Mrs.
Mabel Tuke, were arrested on March
loiIowlng a sensational raid by the
police on the offices of the womens 6
social and political union at Clement
Inn, the Strand, in which all Of the
books and papers of the militant or
ganizaton were seized and confscated
by the authorities.
Included in the warrant was the
name of Cristobal Pankhurst, daughter
of Mrs. Pankhurst, but she eluded the
police, and has since successfully been
concealed.
Mrs. Pankhurst served two months In
Jail for the window smashing that &C.

According to an interview from

DEMOCRATS PLAN
TO END FIGHT ON
BALLOTS TOMORROW
Question of Clark Picture
Causing Trouble for Forces
in the District.

"A warm fight over the ballot TO be
used In the coming Democratic primary
will be precipitated in the meeting Of

morrow night.
The primary rules as laid down by
the national committee provide for an
Australian ballot. The Instructed for
Clark" forces. as led by Walter Cos
tello, want a Clark ballot, or the equiv
alent with the Speakers picture over
their list Of delegates. The minority
oppose this. They say that they tor
are for Clark and have as much right
to the Clark emblem as the Costello
forces have. For several weeks the
minority factions have been opposing
instructions. The entire matter will be
thresher out at a meeting tonight in
Costello's hall, Sixth and G streets
northwest.

place of the Fifteenth district at $40 6

he would appear before the committee
tomorrow night, bearing with him a pc
!. tition signed by a majority of the voters
OF that district.
AT last nights meeting" he said, II
favored the building at 107 II street as a
polling place; the F. Edward Mitchell
ticket favored $40 Second street, while
the Costello faction voted for the G
street location. After l saw that the
Second street location was the most
central in the District, | voted for It,
tn. g street building was selected.
This place is colored restaurant,
and scarcely large enough to hold the
