Page Suggested as Chairman

Local Appropriations.

Representative Robert n Page OF North
Carolina, as possible chairman Of the
subcommittee of the House appropriation
committee in charge of the District ap-
preparation bill. has been spoken of in
official circles recently. both at the White
House and at the Capitol, but definite
statements from members of the appro-
priations committee or it's chairman. Rep
resentatiye FITZGERALD of New York, are
impossible to obtain.
The appropriatiOns committee has been
appointed, but the subcommittee have not
been selected Representative Fitzgerald
intends to make announcements of them
within a day or two, he said today. When
he was asked about the possibility of
Representative Page as a chairman of
the District subcommittee he replied:
Il cannot tell anything about that as
yet. l haven't studied the question far
enough Mr. Page is a possibility like
several others
the subcommittee having the big sundry
civil bill in charge.
Members of the appropriations commit
tee are lodging service on the District
subcommittee. Representative Saunders
of Virginia would be the logical man to
head the subcommittee, as he was a mem
ber of the subcommittee last session,
when Representative Burleson, now Post
master General was chairman. However.
Mr.. Saunders is no longer on the appro-
priations committee, being assigned to an
influential position on the new ROADS com
mittee. Representative klnkead of New

tanned from the United States circuit
court by stockholders of six railroads,
after the Sanborn decision in the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Mime

caeo and Great Western. Minnesota and

TO benefit-by the Sanborn decision order
ing re-establishment Of the old rate
schedules The injunctions became ef-
fective June l, 1911.
Attorney General Smith probably will
ask that the circuit court enter decree
vacating these injunctions in view OF
the Supreme Court decision holding the
rates ordered discontinued to be valid as
to the Hill lines. This, 1T is said, would
solve the problem If the roads would con-
sent to such a proceeding without a con-

PLAGUE IN HAITI
Several Deaths Have Resulted
From Outbreaks at
JaCmeI. !

PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti. June IT,
An epidemic of bubonfc plague has
broken out at the seaport Of Jacmel
thirty miles from here. Numerous cases
already have resulted fatally
Jacmel has been isolated from the rest
OF the country by a Gordon of troops,
and the government is taking energetic
steps to prevent the propagation of the
disease.
The administrative authorities here, in
spite of the detailed reports from Jac-
mel. deny the existence Of bubonic plague
there.
Surgeon General Blue of the public
health service mas taken steps to set up
the usual seven-day quarantine against
the bubonic plague epidemic in Haiti.
Outside of Haiti the plague situation in
the West Indies is better now than it
has been for many months. The service
believes it has eliminated the disease in
Porto Rico and Cuba.
If the government of Haiti were to ask
the United States for assistance, public
health service experts probably would
be sent there.
