ARMY CAMPS HEALTHY.
Good Reports Received on Texas
City and Galveston, Tex.

The high degree of health maintained
at the army maneuver camps at Texas
City and Galveston, Tex, where $4,000
men have been under tents for the last
six months, has convinced army medical
officers that there will be no repetition
of the sick camps which depleted the
army during the Spanish war.
1t was pointed out at the surgeon
generals Office today that in the six
months since the mobilization of the
troops there has been no case of typhoid
fever among the men. all of whom
travelled from one to three days Oh
trains to reach the camp. There has
been no case or smallpox. and but few
cases of measles and humps. Typhoid
and smallpox have been kept away by

ing places for mosquitoes. constant
warfare is waged against flies. Before
the causes of camp disease were well
understood Ii was known that moving

those in fixed camps. but the results
in the Texas camps convince army offi-
GERS that troops can be kept in the
same camp for months with no harm
from epidemic disease.
These results are considered the more
remarkable, as the camps are pitched
On rather unfavorable ground. Like

MEASURE WOULD
CUT OFF DISTRICT
Representative Carraway's
Bill Provides DissoIving of
Partnership With u. S.

tween the District Of Columbia and the
United States was introduced late this
afternoon by Representative Carraway of
Arkansas. The bill is a long one and
very technical.
1t provides for a commission form OF
government.
, Mr.. Carraway is a member of the Dis
trict Of Columbia committee Of the House,
to which the bill was referred.
Representative Carraway could not be
found this afternoon to make q state
ment.
The bill amends only two sections Of
the organic act.
The Commissioners are to be appoint
ed by the President as at present, and
the bill does not specify that the Com
missioners shall have any changed
jurisdiction, but they can make no
contract without the approval Of Con-
gress.
They can abolish any offices in the Dis
trict OF Columbia, or consolidate any two
The Commissioners will submit to the
Secretary Of the Treasury statements Of
the work to be done during the next fis-
cal year. just as they do at present
and the Secretary of the Treasury Is to
examine these estimates and to recon-
mend expenditures to Congress.
The bill seems simply to dissolve the
partnership without giving the District
anything In return.
