CITY TRASH WAGONS.
HELP TO CLEAN UP
Works Board Directs Moving
of Seventy-five Loads of
Dirt.

Seventy.five wagon loads OF rubbish
were hauled out Of West Richmond
yesterday by eight wagons of the
street department, working under the
direction of John McMinn, member
of the board of public works. 1t was
the city's contribution to the activities
of cleaning week In that section OF
the city.
women and children in West Rich
mond worked like beavers yesterday
to help the wagon men clean up the
streets AMI alleys, and when the job
was done that end of town looked like
it had been gone over by an army with
brooms." McMinn said today.
Today the rubbish wagon brigade
was at work in that section of the
city east of the river and north
of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Ira Wood, chairman of the CONNER
ciaI club committee on cleaning week,
today asked the board of public works
for a contribution of $50 to add to
similar fund donated by several organ
izations for the purpose of buying
plants to give to children who have
worked three hours this week helping
to clean up the city. No difinite &C
ton was taken because City Attorney
Bond was not certain whether the
board or even council has authority to
draw upon public funds for such pur-
poses. Mr.. Bond will report to the
board on this question next Monday.
Mr.. Wood volunteered to have his
name placed on the pay roll of the
street department SO that the money
could be paid over to him, but his
proposal was not considered seriously.
For several years local florists have
been donating plants for such pur-
poses, and they think they have done
more than enough in promoting the
success of the annual event.

MRS, BECKER SMILES
As JURY IS CHOSEN
[BY LEASED WIRE1

NEW YORK, May THE controll
ing influence of the defendants wife
was evident in every phase of the pro-
ceedings today when the second trial
of. ex-Police Lieutenant Charles Beck
er for the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai was resumed before Justic Sea-
bury in the criminal branch of the
supreme court.
Mrs. Becker, alert, cheerful and pref
ty in a well-titting tailored gown, was
almost the first person in the court
room. When Becker was led in she
smiled confidently and nodded her
head in greeting
There were five jurors in the box
when the second days session opened,
and when the work of filling the box
was taken up Mrs. Becker was seated
beside Attorney Martin T. Manton, and
she became tensely interested
Becker to Testify?
When Becker talked with his law
yers he insisted upon taking the stand
in his own behalf. Attorney Manton
refused to give a definite answer, say
ing he might decide not to put in any
defense at all.
The unexpected speed with which
the five jurors were selected led to
the belief at the opening of court to-
day that Friday morning would see
the jury box filled and the case ready
for the opening arguments.
w. Bourge Cochran, who announced
his withdrawal from the case, changed
his mind, and said today that he would
do all in his power for Becker. Mr..
Cochran is expected to furnish the
flowery oratory, to nurse the good
witnesses and to heckle the bad one.

BEEF SHORTAGE.

Here are some figures by J. M.
Pickens, expert in the bureau Of AMI
NAL industry, department Of agricul-
ture, in the report he has just made
,on the consumption Of meat:
The high cost of meat Is a serious
reality, and 1t Is now obvious that the
rise in price IL the result Of an actual
shortage in production"
This Is the way Pickens sizes up
the matter in his report, which con-
tinues:
This condition Is reflected in the
per capita consumption OF meat in
the United States, which Is estimated
to have fallen OF ten pounds in four
years. or 162 pounds in 1909 to 152
pounds in 1918. 1t is evident the

RULER PREDICTS PASSING OF ALL KINGS

The assassination of the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand and the duchess OF
Hohenberg at Sarajevo created an i'm

The king said In conversation with

that in about thirty years there will
be no more kings In Europe. He ex-
pressed the hope that when his turn
comes to give up the throne he will be
allowed to stay In Italy instead OF be-

that his son be the first president.

PELLAGRA IN THE DISTRICT.

1t will no doubt surprise the pub
lie to learn that the horrible disease
OF pellagra is reported to have sew
eral victims in the District OF Colum-
bia.
Doctor Woodward of the health de-
partment says that there were IL
cases in the district last year, nine OF
which were of local origin. Five pa
tents were white and seven were col
ored, and In each the patients varied
from twenty-three to sixty-seten years.
All cases proved fatal Doctor Wood
ward goes on to say
"Pellagra is usually a chronic dis
ease. extending over year or more
but sometimes it runs an acute course.
Nervous and mental disorders are
usual and distressing features OF the
disease. No treatment by hygiene or
drugs can be relied on to cure, -!
though some patients recover. The
treatment generally adopted is that
Of rest and wholesome living under
such conditions as are best calculated
to build up the bodily strength.
The cause and mode Of spread OF
pellagra is unknown. BY some the
disease has been attributed to eating
unsound or diseased corn, but the
trend of opinion is now against this
hypothesis. Pending developments
the wise course is to preserve an
open mind and for prevention rely on
the ordinary principles OF wholesome
living"

The daily per capita consumption
and waste OF water In the district in
the year ending June 30 was 100 gal
Ions, according to report just is
sued. This is based on an estimated
population Of 353,297.
The maximum daily amount Of wa
ter pumped to the filters during the
year was 70, $50, 900 gallons. The max
imum consumption Of water for "a

that month was 6O,400,00O gallons. The
average daily consumption for the en-
tire year 1913-1914 was 56.430,0O0 gal
