TYPHOID FEVER, PENALTY.
Surgeon Lumsden' Shows Result Of
Eating and Drinking Dirt.

Typhoid fever is the penalty for eat
ing and drinking dirt, according to the
testimony today of Surgeon Leslie NJ.
Lumsden of the public health service,
before the Senate committee considering
bill for a federal investigation of
malaria and typhoid.
He stated that within twenty-four
hours of Washington he could find one
hundred cities and towns that were
drinking water from their own sewers
At any time, he added. this might sub
ject them to a typhoid fever epidemic.
Dr. Lumsden told the committee that
if one fact had been established about
typhoid it was that the disease came
only from man. and is communicated
not by biting insects, but by eating or
drinking polluted substances. such as
water, milk. oysters, ice cream, bread,
cakes or candy.

View of English Lawyers.

IF he will read the London Law Re
view he will learn that even English
lawyers have conceded that the tolls ex-
emption is in harmony with our treaty
obligations. German and other continen-
tai writer's have expressed the same
view.
Moreover, this opinion is shared by
ex-Prestdent Roosevelt. during whose
administration the Hay Pauncefete
treaty was framed and adopted. The
President now states that the tolls ex-
emption constitutes mistaken eco
nomic policy, but I prefer to accept his
candidate for the presidency. when he
pointed out the obvious economic ad-
vantages of this legislation.

Scope Of Exemption.
"The Supreme Court of the United
States in Olsen VS.. Smith. 1876 L. s..
recognized the propriety Of this interpre-
tation. We do not exempt American
ships engaged in foreign trade. Under
the Panama canal act we treat them as
we treat foreign ships.
I'VE exempt only coastwise shipping
and our right to do so is substantially
recognized by the British government in
its note of November IA. 1912. which
states:
"'If the trade should be SO regulated
as to make 1t certain that only bona fide
coastwise traffic. which is reserved for
United States vessels. would be benefited
by this exemption. it may be that no OBJ
lection could be taken
LAS we limit the exemption to bona
fide coastwise traffic it is apparent that
we are disturbed over a claim. which
Great Britain comedies to be groundless.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6-For
twenty years William Kahler, aged sew
enty. has been a beggar, eating food
taken from ash cans and sleeping
wherever he could fine shelter.
Last night was cool and the sidewalk
which Kahler had made his bed ap-
peared SO uncomfortable to a patrolman
that he arrested the old man and took
him to a police station so that he might
have a comfortable mattress and blanket.
In searching kahler twas found that
what was supposed to be hump on his
back was uncommonly hard, and investi-
cation revealed that 1t was not de-

with gold coin and paper money. Va
rious false pockets in kahler's clothes

all was counted the total was found to

People of Jersey Town Lived on Milk
and Griddle Cakes.

NEW YORK. March 6-Most of the in
habitants Of Wrightstown, N. J., which
Is thirty -one miles from Camden, turned
out early yesterday, when for the first
time since the town became snowbound
last Sunday they heard the whistle of
locomotive. Three hundred yards down
the tracks Of the Pemberton and Iights-
town line a freight locomotive was plow-
ing ahead for a few yards through thick
snow and slush. backing UP for a fresh
start, and then rushing on for renewed
gains.
When the engine arrived at the station
the crew found that the 300 inhabitants
of Wrightstown had not suffered seri-
ously through their four days isolation
by the snow. Eight persons were i'll
in the village and no docter was there
to attend them, but none of the eight
was dangerously ill. There had been
surplus Of milk because the creamery
could not make any shipments to the
large cities. Hundreds Of gallons were
emptied out on the snow. The bread sup
ply had been exhausted. but Wrightstown
folk made shift to live on griddle cakes.

DELAY IN FIGHT
ON NHALF-AND-AA[F
George Bill Not Ready for De-
bate in the House
Monday.
OTHER DISTRICT MEASURES
ARE ON THE CALENDAR
Buchanan Bill, Changing Building
Regulations, Likely to Be
Called Up.

The proba bility is that there will be
no agitation in the House over the half
and-half appropriation principle or any
proposals to change it by direct or in
direct methods for several days. The
House District committee left the George
bill yesterday at section two, as amend
ed by the Prouty resolution, and will
not meet again to discuss the bill until
Monday This makes 1t impossible to
get the bill on the floor of the House
by Monday, which is District day in
the House.
Meantime, Representative George of
New York, author of the bill, is taking
a short rest, preparatory to calling a
meeting of the subcommittee, Of which
he is chairman. The purpose of that
meeting was expressed by him yester-
day-to start an investigation into the
personal property situation, including
it's assessment and taxation in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
To Show Tax Unnecessary.
Representative George is confident he
can prove there is no need of taxing per-
sonal property. Other members Of the
District committee who are confident in
advance that he cannot do anything of
the sort still stick to their desire to tax
everything in or out of sight in Wash
ington.
! 1t is believed that Chairman johnson OF
the District committee will call up for
discussion on Monday the Buchanan bill
to provide for change in the Districts s
building regulations, and requiring
greater margin of. safety for Sca1oldlngS.
etc. This bill could scarcely be expected
to provoke any great amount of talk.
although there have been occasions when
simple bills of that character have been
talked about for hours to keep some
other bill from being taken up.
Chairman johnson would not commit
himself to any statement today as to
what he intended to do on Monday. The
Borland bill requiring that the total cost
of street pavings shall be paid by the
owners of abutting property is on the
calendar and Representative Borland was
assured a few days ago tnal Mr.. johnson
intended to bring it up very soon. That
bill will be debated at great length when
ever it does appear on the floor.
Crisp Bill on Calendar.
The Crisp bill. over which there was
such a tremendous uproar in the House
when newspaper criticisms were made
the basis Of speeches of personal privi.
lege by members who disliked the meth
DDS used to convey public sentiment, is
also on the calendar. 1t Is the measure
which seeks to take away from the Dis
trict all the federal support promised in
the partnership agreement between the
United States and the District Of Co
lumbia.
Members of the House committee on
the District of Columbia are divided
as to this bill. Many of them would
vote for it. but there is no great possi-
bility of its passing the House. Repre-
out of the city. Representative John
sons bill to require the construction or
repair of sidewalks to be paid for by the
abutting property is another possibility
for next Monday.
