STREET RAILWAY HEAD
EXPRESSES REGRET
President Wheciwright Gives Out
Statement Relative to Rcrouting
Cars

Discussing the refusal of the Board
OF Aldermen TO pass the ordinance
providing for the rerouting of the
street cars. President Wheelwright of
the Virginia Railway and Power Com
pany, yesterday said:
"Of course the company desired the
ordinance to pass, as il would have
resulted in improved service between
the northern and southern sections of
the city and would have met the de-
mands of the patrons of the company
in those sections. The request for
these changes emanated from the citi-
zens In the northern and southern sec
lions affected by this service, and was
a result of their desire for improved
service.
After a great deal of negotiation
with committees from the various cit
liens associations the company
agreed to the plan embodied in this
ordinance 1t would have involved
an expenditure of about 600. and
In the narrower view of the situation
the company Is relieved at not having
to make this expenditure under ex-
listing conditions; at the same time we
took the broader and more liberal
view of this situation, our desire be-
ing to render the best service TO the
were willing to make this expenditure
| to accomplish that result.
"If the Board of Aldermen feels
that IT is better to let matters remain
as they are. the company. of course,
will aoquiesce in its decision, but with
regret that It cannot give TO the citi-
zens OF the sections affected the relief
that would have been afforded by this
| plan.
so far as the objections of St
| Pauls Church were concerned, the
plan did not call for any addition
whatever to the number OF cars oper-
ated on Ninth Street. and would not
have increased the noise and incon-
venience to this congregation in any
respect. while Ii would have afforded
improved transportation facilities and
great convenience to thousands of
people affected by these schedules.
This, however, is a question between
St. Pauls Church and the people on
the north and south sides of the city"

BORAH WANTS TO
HOLD PHILIPPINES

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE confer

government bill was agreed 10 In the
Senate today. In the discussion Sena-
tor Borah, OF Idaho. declared that no
matter what Congress might think
upon the subject the American peo-
pie had decided TO retain the Philip
pines
He further made the prophecy that
before many years have passed Cuba
also would belong to the United
States.
only the fortunes of war can ever
sever the Philippines from the United
States" declared Mr., Borah. "and the
American people are not in the habit
OF giving up that which they once
possess. No matter what theories may
be advanced, the American people
would fight TO retain those islands. II
for no other reason than that we now
hold them"
The House is expected to approve
the conference report next week. The
bill declares for independence when "a
stable government" has been estab-
lished and the people are fitted to
rule.

Mrs r. w. Edmunds, Wife of Promi-
nent Physician, Leaps From

Suffering from a nervous complaint,
Mrs. Edmunds was brought - the
hospital by her husband sunday night.
At that time she showed no mental
trouble or gave any indication of a
srfcidal teni, ncy. 1t Is believed. now
over, that several deaths n her fam
lily In the last year had brought on
nervous trouble that had affected her
mind The death a few months ago
OF her little daughter Is said TO nav"
added to her grief.
At s o'clock yesterday morning,
when she was served with a light
breakfast, Mrs. Edmunds appeared

into the bathroom. instead of taking
her bath she opened window facing
on Madison Street. and going out on
the roof of the porch. she leaped TO
the ground. She was taken into the
hospital by a colored orderly, who
heard her fall and she was found TO
be suffering from a conclusion of the
brain and a fracture at the base of
the skull.
Mrs. Edmunds condition was not
considered serious enough when she
entered the hospital to require the
services OF a special nurse; hence she
was alone when she took the fatal
plunge. The distance TO the ground

dertnking Establishment mt Bel
videre and broad Streets.

Fire, believed to be of incendiary
origin did more than $1,000 damage
in the undertaking establishment of
a. w. Bennett, Beividere and Broad
Streets, yesterday morning. The fre
started at the stable loft door, where
quantity of feed was stored and
burned with such intensity that II
was necessary 10 send in the second
alarm. Fear was entertained that the
blaze would spread to the garage of
the Virginia Auto Supply Company
next door.
Due to the quick work OF the de-
partment the flames were prevented
from spreading. but before the fire had
been extinguished the entire interior
of the building had been Quilted. when
the fire department arrived on the
scene the whole top floor of the build
ing was burning briskly.

into the burning building. cut his hand
severely on a piece of glass. Lieuten-

quickly revived.
Just before the Bennett hre was
discovered the department was called

was under control the apparatus was
needed at the Bennett fire. All indi-
cations point to both hres being the
work OF incendiaries.

COULDN'T MAKE LIVING,
LAST GIRL LEAVES.
Decision AS TO Southern Manufacture
ing Company Strike Waits On
Directors Return TO Town,

Yesterday the last and only girl
employed in the labelling and filing
department of the Southern Manufac-
turing Company resigned her position
because she could not make enough
money 10 live on at the piece work
rates being paid by the company.
This young woman. who has never
been employed by the company be-
fore, took her place there Monday
morning She was given work before
the promise of f, c. Laird, president
of the baking powder company, was
made that he would not employ any
workers in place of the striking en-
ployes until he had presented the
company's proposition to the labor
committee. Mr.. Laird, it was stated
last night by representative of the
labor committee. had adhered strictly
to his promise.
The committee from the Federation
of Labor and the strikers met last
night to go over the situation, but
there was nothing to be done. 1t Is
understood that the company cannot
make it's proposition known until the
president has communicated with two
members of his board of directors who
are out of town. The strikers and
the labor people working in their be-
half have settled down to wait until
the Southern Manufacturing Com
pany can make its decision.

TYPHOID IN JULY 8
NORMAL IN STATE
Rural Districts Show Little, II Any
Increase Over Figures for
1915,

Preliminary statistics for typhoid in
rural Virginia for the month of July
do not indicate any marked increase
over the corresponding figures for
July. 1915, when the disease reached
the lowest mid summer mark in the
records of the State Board of Health.
To date, the board announces 628
cases for July have been reported
from the counties, with thirty-oue
cases reported from three cities whose
returns have thus far been received
at the headquarters tf the board. In
July, 1915, the total number of cases
reported was 6S5. officers of the
board believe that LITER figures from
some cities of the State, where ty-
phoid has been unusually prevalent,
will bring the total for the month
above that for July, 1915. but they
think most of the increase will be in
urban districts.
THE conditions which appear to be
responsible for much of the urban ty-
phoid," says the bulletin of the board,
do not affect rural districts as seri-
ously. Where washing rains may
seriously pollute an urban water sup
ply, they may, in rural districts, cause
less typhoid, solely because the waters
users are more scattered. In addition.
the board can now reckon on a steady
improvement in sewage disposal in
the rural districts where the sewer
age in most sections of the large cities
has already reduced to a minimum
the typhoid carried In this manner.
Generally speaking, the situation in
rural Virginia is rather gratifying. the
season considered Improved santa
ton is yielding its dividends"

up with the government. agreed TO

pense of catching and bringing the

VACCINE SUPPLY NOW
AMPLE FOR NEEDS
But 1t should Not Be Relied On,
Board Says, to Take Place
of Sanitation.

Following rush orders that ex-
hausted its supply OF typhoid vaccine
daily, the state Board OF Health has
now more than caught up with the
demand and hopes TO be able to ilt
future demands for the vaccine with
out delay. The manufacturers who
supply the preventive are forwarding
shipments regularly and believe they
will be able 70 meet ali calls made
on them.
In advising the use of typhoid vac
cine where there is danger OF infec-
ton. the State Board OF Health today
cautioned the public against relying
on the vaccine TO take the place OF
sanitary precautions. The vaccine.
according TO the board. appreciab bly,
increases ones resistance TO typhoid.
but nothing viii give absolute pro-
lection except the rigid observance OF
the proper safeguards.
The effect OF the typhoid vaccine"
said an officer OF the board today.
is TO Increase the bodily resistance
to typhoid This effect is cumulative
for thirty days after the first injec-
ton OF the vaccine and then remains
constant for a period variously esti-
mated Mt about three years. The re-
suit is that the vaccinated person Is
immune to the ordinary dangers of in
lection. But there may readily come
times when a person receives into the
body more germs OF typhoid than he
can throw of. even with the assist
ance of the vaccine. While this does
not happen very often no pers N

chances Vaccination must he accom-
