AMERICANS NARROWED
ON ISLAND In PACIFIC
State Department will Try to Effect
Rescue of Ten Sailors
of Schooner.

Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Newton yesterday addressed a commu-
nication to. the State Department in
which he called attention to ten Ameri
can Robinson Crusoes, marooned on
Easter Island, in the South Pacific
Ocean. The Americans are members
OF the crew OF the American schooner
FL Dorado. now a derelict. They es-
capped from the ship by small boats
to Easter Island early this year. and
October Capt n. p. Benson, of that
ship, prevailed upon two members of
his crew TO accompany him in a $500
mile voyage by lifeboat TO Tahiti.
The Department OF Commerce has been
informed by letter from Sanders &
Kirchmann. the vessels owners, of San
Francisco. Il the plight Of the ten Amer
leans. The department sought the de-
tail Of United States revenue cutter to
make the rescue; but as the men were in
no danger and the DISTANCE great this was
not attempted. Easter Island is nearly
in the track of British Golfers plying
between Santiago and Australia. Sec
rotary Newton thought proper represen-
tations from the Department of State to
the British authorities might result in 4
collier being requested TO stop at Easter
Island.
Easter Island Is inhabited by light
skinned Malayseans, who are civilized
and peaceful They engage in the pro-
duction of wool.
Action on the part If the State De-
psrtment Is expected today.

means OF CHECKING
| DISEASE DESCRIBED
DR.. William c. Fowler Tells Of Safe
guards Employed by Health
Department.
SPEAKS TO AUDIENCE AT Y.M.c.A.

Description OF the many safeguards
employed by the District Health Depart
ment to protect the people from the
ravages of contagious disease was given
by DIR. william c. Fowler, In charge OF
this branch of the health office work,
before an audience at the Y. M. c. A.
last night.
After reciting the diseases reported in
Washington, DIR. Fowler explained the
precautions that the department takes to
prevent the sufferers from becoming
centers of infection. as well as to dis
cover and eliminate the source of in
lection
Where a case of contagious disease
Is reported to the department, DIR.
Fowler said. a medical inspector is
sent to the premises TO learn the num-
Der OF people there; IL any children,
what schools and Sunday schools they
attend: the time of discovery of illness,
the name of the milk dealer, and other
facts bearing upon the possible cause
OF infection and the possibility of the
patient becoming a menace to the
health of others.
tuberculosis and typhoid fever are the
two contagious diseases which give the
department the greatest amount OF work,
and both are continually present in the
community. Typhoid fever has recently
largely decreased, however. DIR. Fowler
stated that more than 1000 cases OF
typhoid fever We're reported to the de-
partment in 1906, while only 442 have been
reported up to December 10 OF this year.
DIR. Fowler concluded his address with
an appeal to his audience that they CO.
operate with the department for the sup
preston of the diseases.

LIVES OF CHILDREN
SAVED BY PULMOTOR
Physician Revives Three After They
Have Been Overcome by
Escaping Gas.
HALF HOURS WORK NEEDED

BY aid Of the pulmotor, DR.. Chaplain
P. King, resident physician Of Casualty
Hospital, last night saved the lives OF
three small children who had been over
come by gas at IS street northwest.
Shortly before o'clock Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Lane became alarmed at the
sudden illness of their baby girl, Vir-
ginia Following an outcry by the
baby, Edna, eight years old, and Thorn
as, Jr.. four years, also became vio-
Iently i'll. There was a slight flow OF
gas from a tube attached to the kitchen
stove. 1t was not enough to affect an
adult.
1t also was discovered the furnace in
the basement was throwing out a gas
which was dangerous to the lungs OF
the children. Mrs. Lane threw open
the windows in the house and her hus-
band went for aid. An ambulance was
summoned. When DR.. King arrived he
found the three children nearly uncon-
scious. He applied the pulmotor and
after half an hours work revived them.
Fearing to sleep in the house until the
leak in the gas jet can be fixed and the
furnace mended the Lane family spent
the night with neighbors.

JURY In Schultz CASE
Is UNABLE TO AGREE
Six for Conviction, While Others Are
at 0dds-Dismissal by
Court.

Hopelessly disagreed as to the verdict
they should reach, the jury trying the
case OF Col George F. Schutt, proprietor
of the New Ebbitt House, charged with
having sold licsuor to a minor on the even
! ing of the Georgetown-Virginia football
game, last night was dismissed by the
police court.
Six stood for conviction and the other
six, according to one Of the Jurors,
wrangled hopelessly among themselves
without any degree of success.
At 10:l5 o'clock Edwin A. Newman, real
estate man, and foreman of the jury, an
nounced to the court q verdict could not
be reached. Judge Pugh then declared
mistrial and dismissed the jurors In
cidentally the court remarked there was
no money on hand to buy breakfast for
the jury, anyway.
For more than seven hours the Jurors
fought the case among themselves.
Twice more law was called for. Short
ly after s o'clock the jury desired fur
Their enlightenment on a point of law
and again about $50 o'clock asked the
the court to explain the meaning Of a
sale" The point was whether a sale
meant a minor taking a drink when
ordered by another and paid for, or
ordered by himself and paid for, or or
dered by himself and paid for by an
other. A few minutes after o'clock
yesterday afternoon the case was given
to the jury.
Both sides were disappointed. Corpo-
ration Counsel Conrad Syme expected
a verdict of guilty. Attorneys for the
defense looked for a verdict of mot
guilty"
THE case will most certainly be tried
again." said Corporation Counsel Syme,
after the jury had been dismissed.
When the court opened yesterday morn
ing the case was resumed from the point
where it had stopped on Thursday after
noon. Most of the day was taken up in
hearing witnesses for the defense.
Corporation Counsel Syme and Assis-
tant Corporation Counsel NJ. K. Varnell
made the arguments for the government,
while Attorneys William II. White and
Tobriner represented the defense.

ERRORS FOUND, SAYS JOHNSON.
Account. between District and st
ElIxabeth's Declared Faulty.

Representative Ben Johnson, Of Ken
lucky. charged yesterday that an in
vestigation by the House District Com
mittee has shown errors In tile accounts
between the Government Hospital for the
Insane and the District.
An expert accountant has gone over
the books of the asylum, Representative
johnson said, and has found that errors
have occurred both in favor of the
United states and the District. The Dis
trict, Mr.. johnson believes. has been
mostly favored by the mistakes.
Mr.. Johnson's expert has investigated
accounts covering many years. An i'm
portant and significant feature, it was
said, is the disclosure that one patient
has made 157 visits to the asylum. Mr..
johnson says he is unable. as yet, to
estimate the amount Of the discrepancies.
