PASSING OF EPIDEMIC
Opening of Sunday and Public Schools
Brings Normal Conditions in
Alexandria

By the opening of the Sunday
schools of Alexandria yesterday
morning, the so-called scarlet fever
epidemic which has been bone OF
contention between the health board,
the doctors of the city. and the pub
lie generally, for the past ten days,
was formally declared to be a thing
of the past. No new cases of the
mysterious disease, which seemed to
be a cross between tonsilitis and scar
litina, have been reported since last
Saturday week and the 80 or more
children and adults who have been
confined to their homes by the disease
are rapidly recovering.
The public schools reopened this
morning. In the highest grades the
examinations commenced and it is eX-
pected that that they will be complet-
ed in time to close the schools week
from today. The first three grades
of the primary schools will close af-
ter today's session.

sTEAM-DRIyEN i SEA PLANES
Navy Experiments Believed Near to
Solving Stability Problem

Washington, D. c., June 12-Navy
Department experiments indicate that
steam driven seaplanes may solve the
Of air navigation.
Many officers believe that only the
question of getting the weight of the
steam plant down to the lowest pos
;ble figure remains to be answered
before steamer of the air is constr
ucted and tried out.
Experimental work was begun
many months ago, and an improvised
plant, consisting of boiler similar to
those used in steam automobiles and
a compact steam turbine, has been
tested. Those in charge of
the work will not discuss it further
than to say that they are very hope
full of successful outtbme.
Steam equipment would guarantee
eonstancy of power, upon which aero
planes depend for stability. Most ac-
cidents to aviators, it is pointed out,
have been due to failure of motors.
Steam turbines also would provide
power far in excess of anything now
with gasoline engines, it
is said, factor vital to the navy,
since seaplanes are much heavier than
aeroplanes for service over land.

With the announcement by Mayor 3.
B. semmes that he will .'put the lid
on tight" next Saturday night, people
here next Sunday will experience the
"bluest" Sunday in the history of the
city. Not only will all sale of soda
water, cigars and newspapers be pro-
hibited, but the authorities plan to ar
rest employees engaged in making"
Sunday papers. There also is talk Of
stopping the operation of street cars
on Sunday.
All automobile garages must be
closed, and those who own automobiles
must either operate them themselves
or forego the pleasure of Sunday at
ternoon outings. Paid choir singers
and organists also will come under
the ban, it is said. 1t is expected that
the police will be busy next Sunday
as many persons have announced their
intention of testing the law and let
the courts define what is labor or
necessity. In the past the suthori-
ties have been liberal in the matter
of Sunday selling, and the sudden
stoppage will cause Iutol9 inconven-
fences. ss
Bristol, Va, June 12-Touching
the significance of the "oustcr" law,
which goes into effect in Virginia next
Sunday, and the bearing this law may
have upon the "blue' law and its en-
forcement, Mayor George M. War
rem said tonight.
"I am not as yet advised as to
the nature of the legislature refer
red to, but will say that the Bristol
authorities will absolutely enforce any
and all laws upon the statute books
We shall know no other course, and
if any of these laws are unpopular
and do not accord with public senti-
ment, it will be up to the Legislature
to repeal the same"
Chief of Police S. D. Keller said
ave expect to meet the demands of
the laws of our State. We cannot do
otherwise than enforce any and all
laws upon the statute books of Vir-
ginia.
The "blue" law has not been en-
forced here for many years, just as
it has not been in other Virginia COM
munities, because public sentiment ap-
parently acguiesced in its non-enforce-
ment.

Former President Has Not Yet De-
.clared That He Will Support JUS
tice Hughes

| Chicago, June l2-Fof tne time De
ing all interest centers in the future
of the Progressive party. This is th'
uppermost factor of the tangled situa
ton arising out Of the Republican
and Progressive. conventions after
their adjournment Saturday.
No doubt is felt here that Colone
Roosevelt finally will decline the
Bull Moose nomination. In fact, he
would have pulled his name down Sat
urday but for the knowledge that
the convention would have forthwith
named another candidate. Understand
ing this, Mr.. Roosevelt decided to
hold up his answer to his party as
sociates until the convention could
adjourn and the opportunity pass for
a second nomination.
When it is too late for the Bull
Moose to put up another ticket-that
is, when it is too late for another
convention to be assembled and the
enthusiasm Of the hour has subsidized
Colonel Roosevelt will make a state
ment declaring that he cannot be a
candidate against Mr.. Hughes. He
will find that the Republican nomi-
nee's position on all the issues in
which the Colonel has claimed a pro-
prietary interest is sound, and that
all Progressives should go to the Re-
publican. support.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 12-Theo-
dore Roosevelt reiterated last night
that he is "out Of politics.
. 81 want to tell you newspaper men"
he said, "that it's of no use for you
to come up here to see me. will
have nothing to say. | will answer
no questions, so please don't ask me
to. am out of politics.
If the former president has any
plans for the immediate future other
than to continue his literary work
he has not made them public. His
secretary John w. McGrath, is ex-
pected to arrive here today from
Chicago with detailed report of the
happenings at both the Republican
and Progressive conventions.
Colonel Roosevelt attended church
services in the village yesterday morn
ing with Mrs. Roosevelt, but re-
NAMED in seclusion at Sycamore Hill
the rest of the day. The telegraph
wires Saturday night and yesterday
brought food of messages to Colonel
Roosevelt. 1t was announced that
most of them approved his action in
declining to become candidate upon
the Progressive ticket.
While Colonel Roosevelt would not
discuss the question yesterday, his
intimates considered it altogether un-
likely that he would reconsider his
conditional refusal to head a third
ticket.
He has not yet made it clear
whether or not he will support the
candidacy of Mr.. Hughes.

Grain Review

Chicago, Feb. Free selling by

ial decline today in the price of wheat.
Holders appeared to be discouraged by
the uncertain outlook for export BUSH
ness owing to dangers from German
raiders on the Atlantic and because Of
the ,centralizing of foreign government
control Of European buying. Indications
of crop damage in Michigan ana
Kansas failed to act as an offset. open
ing prices, which ranDd from Nc lower
to nc advance, were followed by de-
cided general break and then moder-
ate rally. First quotations were $1.S2h

SLAVES MUSTACHE
TO AVOID ARREST
MAN WANTED FOR BREAKING
AND ENTERING TRIES TO
CHANGE DESCRIPTION. g.

In an effort to deceive the police
department, Bill Williams, charged
with breaking and entering, shaved off
his mustache Sunday and for while
had the officers guessing. This morn
ing Williams and George Snyder were
before Judge r. r. Ramsell charged
preliminary hearing was set for Tues
day morning at 8, o'clock and their
bonds placed at $500 each.
Williams was arrested at the home
of John Montgomery, Mill and Vine
streets, after Mrs. Charles Gladson,
11O9 East Hayne street, had notified
the department that watch valued
at $3.50 had been stolen from her
home. A description Of the man was
given to the police and Night Captain
Smith and Officer Criswell started out
to search. From the evidence given
to the police department Williams was
visiting in the neighborhood of the
Gladson home and left about o'clock
saying he would return later. Mrs.
Gladson passed man on the street
who answers the description of Will
liams and when she got home the
drawers had been ransacked and the
watch taken.
Early Saturday evening Williams
met George Snyder and asked him to
pawn a watch for him. Mr.. Snyder
took the watch to a pawnshop but
couldn't get enough money on it so
he called Williams who received $3.50
for the watch.
The officers first went to the home
of Henry Green, All West Main street,
where they found Williams who tai.
lied with the description sent in to
the department even to his mustache
which was commented on by Captain
Smith while at the house. The Off
GERS left and returning later could not
find Williams so they started to
search all the places in Smoky Row
where they thought he would go. The
trail brought them to the home Of
John Montgomery where they found
Williams, who they did not recog-
nize readily as his mustache was gone.
Williams was taken to the station and
a short time later George Snyder
called at headquarters in search of
an officer saying that he had quarrel
ed with his wife and she would not let
him come home He was questioned
about Williams but he did not recog-
nize him. He was placed in Jail and
was in the cell but short time when
he called Captain Smith and admitted
that he was with Williams when the
watch was disposed of.
A list of witnesses will be sub.
poenaed by Chief of Police Peter Gal
lagher today.
