PLANS MADE AT MEETING
Arrangements for Cooperative Ac-
ton Are Discussed.
DIR. WOODWARD IS INTERESTED
Efforts of Associated Charities, Wis
iting Nurses and G. M. Oyster,
Jr., to Be Combined.

With the object of reducing the Dis
trtcts infant mortality rate. a move
ment has been launched under the
auspices of the District health DEPART
ment to obtain cooperative action bv
the various societies and agencies Of
the capital dealing directly with the
care of infants :,
At meeting held in the Office Of
Heaitn on1cer William c. Woodward,
which was attended by Walter s. I7f-
FORD OF the Associated Charities, Miss
Isabel Strong. superintendent of the
Society of Instructive Visiting Nurses;
George S. Wilson. secretary of the
board of charities. and George M.
Oyster. Jr.. who for more than a year
has been conducting stations for the
free distribution Of milk to the poor. It
was decided that steps should be taken
to make more effective the work Of the
various agencies represented
While detailed plans for the obtaining
OF cooperative action have not been
worked out. II was stated today that an
other meeting is to be held to consider the
practical problems connected with the un-
dertaking. and that, In all probability, the
proposed arrangement will be effected at
an early date. 1t is suggested that a
joint committee may be appointed to
consider methods OF reducing Washing
tons infant mortality rate.
Movement First Of Kind.
In a statement today Health Officer
Woodward declared that the movement
will be the first of its kind to have been
inaugurated in the capital and that 1t
should produce beneficial results. The
health department, the Associated Chart
ties. the Society of Instructive Visiting
Nurses, the board of charities and Mr.
Oyster all are engaged in the work Of at
tempting to reduce the city's infant NOR
tally rate. but until the present time no
attempt has been made to bring these
agencies into cooperative action
The possibilities of the proposed CO.
operative plan are believed to be enor-
nous. Each agency is equipped with ia
cilities that the other lacks, and by
combining them 1t is believed a most eff
fective arrangement will have been Gre
ated for saving the lives of thousands of
infants and greatly reducing the mortal
ity rate.
For instance, the health department
keeps a record of vital statistics, and it
is provided with force of sanitary in
spectors. Mr.. Oyster maintains five phi
lanthropic milk stations. besides employ
ing trained nurses to look after the needs
OF infants in the homes. The Associated
Charities. Society of Instructive Visiting
Nurses and board of charities all have
workers In the field who are directly con-
cerned with the care Of infants.

BARROW TRIAL HALTED
BECAUSE Of HOLIDAY
Counsel Take Advantage of
the Suspension to Hold
Conferences.

LOS ANGELES May 3o.-Today being a
holiday, there was no session of the trial
OF Clarence S. barrow, former attorney
for the McNamara brothers, who is ac-
cused Of bribing George v. Lockwood, a
Mcnamara talesman. Counsel on both
sides took advantage Of the suspension
by holding conferences and the members
of the jury spent the day in motoring
under escort of court bailiffs.
Probably not more than an hour will be
required to conclude the direct examina-
ton of Bert L. Franklin. when he re-
sumes the witness stand tomorrow, said
District Attorney Fredericks.
Franklin's Confession.
Franklin, a detective employed by the
Mcnamara defense. pleaded guilty to
bribery some time ago, and attorneys for
the defense expressed themselves as hav-
ing looked forward to his cross-examina-
ton with a great deal of satisfaction.
While it has been definitely determined
that Chief Counsel Earl Rogers will con-
duct the proposed grilling Of the states
star witness. Mr.. Darrow has indicated
that he may take a hand personally in
the attempt to break down the story of
his former chief investigator. and the
man who accused barrow of completely
while confessing himself corrupter of
jurors.
The evidence adduced thus far has
drawn from attorneys for both sides ex-
pressiOns of satisfaction.
Prosecutors Charges.
No evidence has as yet been introduced
tending to prove that Mcnamara jurors
or veniremen other than Robert Balm and
Lockwood were approached by agents OF
the Mcnamara defense. The opening
statement to the jury by District Attor-
ney Fredericks contained the allegation
that barrow had sought to bribe a half
dozen jurors, and Ii is believed in view of
that statement that the prosecution is re-
tanning for the present an important part
of its case.
