WANTED--RAT CATCHER,
HEALTH OFFICER SAYS
Dr.. Woodward Declares Capital Has
Enough Water Traffic to Warrant
Such an Office"
IAN OUNCE OF PREVENTION"

Washington should have a rat catcher
to kill all these rodents that might come
to the city from aboard steamers, yachts
and sailing vessels This is the opinion
of DR.. William c. Woodward, District
health officer.
Practically all seaport towns and towns
along navigable streams are taking every
precaution to keep out the bubonic
plague. There is not a great amount of
water traffic into Washington, but just
enough to make the situation dangerous
should a disease-infected rat come from
aboard a ship into the city. according to
the health officer.
Surgeons say there is no doubt but
that rats from ships spread the plague,
and everything possible is being done to
keep the dreadful epidemic from spread
ing.
A few cases have been found in New
Orleans. There a war on the rat is be-
ing made.
There is no need for alarm in Wash
ington, but simply because the city is not
liable to attack from the disease is no
good reason a rat catcher should not be
stationed at the wharves, local surgeons
say. to kill rodents that come from the
boat.
DR.. Woodward states there is no ap-
preparation for a rat catcher for WASH
ington.

SALVADOR SNUBSBRYAN
BUT MAKES A faux PAS
President of Republic Requests thai
State Department Be Required
to Produce Papers.

Washington yesterday was treated to
the unusual spectacle OF f>the president of
Salvador, the tiniest Central American
Republic, addressing a protest against
the administrator NIcaraguan treaty
on Foreign Relations, and asking that
committee to require that the State
Department lay before 1t certain docu-
ments emanating from the government
of Salvador. Senator William Alden
Smith, Of Michigan, to whom President
Melendez addresses his remarkable mes
sage, made the cablegram public without
indicating any surprise at the unprece-
dented procedure OF the Salvadorean
executive
In official and diplomatic circles the
action Of President Melendez in DELHI
erately ignoring the State Department
was characterized as the most extreme
effrontery. But the comparative insig-
nlficance of Salvador apparently has
served to detract attention from the real
nature of President Melendez' action.
Furthermore. according to Secretary
Bryan yesterday afternoon, the docu-
ments to which the Salvadorean refers
and which he asks that the committee
require" the State Department to pro-
duce, have already been in the posses
sion Of the Senate committee for some
time. President Melendez's message
says:
I'VE are informed that the energeticaI
protest that my government has set forth
to the Department of State through its le-
cation in Washington maintaining that the
proposed .Nicaraguan treaty wrongs the
rights and interests of Salvador in the
Bay of fonseca has not been brought to
the knowledge of the Senate. In that
sense we ask the Committee Of Foreign
Relations to require from the Depart
ment of State the diplomatic correspond
ence regarding said protest and to take
1t into consideration before deciding on
the matter. Besides. we inform the hon
Orable committee that our diplomatic
agent has been instructed to extend our
protest to the point that the impairment
of the autonomy of Nicaragua equality Naf-
fects that of Salvador and nullifies the
Washington conventions"
The correspondence referred to by
President MelendeZ is the outgrowth Of
several years of agitation In Salvador
against the policy of the previous and
the present administration with respect
to affairs In Nicaragua, which cedes
to the United States rights to a naval
base site on the Bay OF Fonseca, Is a
violation of her rights, her shores, as
well as those of Honduras and Mic
aragua, being washed by the waters
Of Fonseca Bay. The United States has
contended. In reply, that 1t Is the in
tention of this government to do moth
ing in the acquisition or use Of the
proposed naval base site which shall
infringe upon the legitimate rights of the
government of Salvador.

TEMPTING THE GRIM REAPER.

1t is the belief of policeman who do
duty along the river front that the clos
ing Of the municipal bathing beach will
result in a number Of drownings. The
pools when open prevent hundreds OF
youngsters from going into the river, and
decreases the chances Of accidents.
However, until Congress passes the Dis
trict appropriation bill the municipal
beach will remain closed.
