CAPITAL TRACTION CARS
PASS OVER NEW BRIDGE
Eastbound Travel Only on Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Structure, Which
Spans Rock Creek.

Eastbound street cars of the Capital
Traction Company were operated yes
terday for the first time over the new
Pennsylvania avenue bridge, spanning
Rock creek. 1t is expected that all
westbound Georgetown cars Will begin
use OF the bridge Tuesday, which will
result in the entire abandonment of
the NJ street bridge for street car serv-
ice
Two weeks or more will be required
for completing the approaches and
paving the roadway, so that the new
structure probably will not be opened
for vehicular traffic before the end of
the month
Congress appropriated $4,000 for
the bridge, but economical MANAGE
ment has resulted in it's construction
The Capital Traction Company is as
sessed for one-third this cost. Add
tional expense to the company of re-
moving its tracks from the NJ Street
bridge and making connections over
the new structure will result in total
outlay by that concern of approximate
ly $4,000. ii is stated.
Plans for the bridge. which is 27s

SAYS THE SOUTH NEEDS
100000 SETTLERS
Senator Ransdell Also Declares as
Many Billion Dollars Are Needed
for Development.

Senator Ransdell. addressing the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, said the
south needed as settlers the 10000
persons who were emigrating to Can
ada every year carrying with them an
estimated wealth of 10000, 900. He
declared that the south required fifty
million people and fifty billions of dol
lars to assist in developing its re-
sources. He quoted figures to show
the Righteousness of the generally ac-
cepted belief that the south was purely
an agricultural country devoted mainly
to cotton.
IF we include live stock said Sen
ator Ransdell, the total value of all
southern farm products, exclusive OF
cotton. was $2s50,0O0.000 in 1915, OF
nearly four times the value of the cot
ton crop. The manufactures of the
south aggregated four billions. exceed
ing by over $500 900, 900 the entire out
put of agriculture in all its branches.
He said however, that the south was
advancing agriculturally three times
as fast as the rest of the nation.

DEVOUT MEXICAN WOMEN
KEEP ALIVE THEIR FAITH

FIELD HEADQUARTERS, Mexico.
July 3, via courier to Columbus, n. NJ.
July s.-Divine worship without music,
priest, the sacrament or Vestments,
with only women and children pres
ent, was viewed Sunday at Namiquipa
by sightseers from the American ex-
Evolutionary column. In a church built
two years before the start of the
American war for independence, under
the faint light of sunshine sitting in
through breaks in the roof. few
Mexican women and children knelt on
the floor. One candle, stuck in a beer
bottle, Illuminated the altar. There
were no pews and the worship was in
complete silence.
One of these women, it was learned,
since banditry, revolution and unfavor-
able legislation have all but closed
the church, has taken upon herself the
office of janitor and Is nearly as she
may, that of priestess. On saints
days and Sundays she, with the wom-
en- who still cling to their religion,
dress in their best-drab clothing it is
and perform such rites of worship as
are left to them. Near the door stands
large wooden cross which the wom-
en- reverently kissed as they left the
church.

The District Commissioners, the

Statement by Maj. Pullman.

In the enforcement of the speed law
in Washington the single aim of the
police department is to break up reck
less driving of machines which. wher-
ever permitted, always results in
large number of deaths and injuries
Washington is one of the few cities in
the country which have held down the
number of deaths caused each year by
motor vehicles and the only way to do
this is to prevent reckless driving
Washington is one of the few large
cities of the country which have less
than twenty deaths a year from motor
vehicles, the number running for the
last three years from sixteen to nine
teen year. With the tremendous in
crease in the number of cars owned
and driven on the streets of Washing
ton it might be expected that the num-
Der of deaths and accidents will in
crease. but this is prevented by work
of police officers to prevent reckless
driving on one hand and the increased
desire of the average man owning an
automobile to drive at safe speed
The standing of a bicycle or motor
cycle officer does not depend upon his
record for number of arrests Every
officer is constantly being impressed

Incubation Five to Ten Days.

The period of incubation of the
disease is regarded as from five to ten
days between the symptoms and the
time the effects begin to show. 1t is
therefore bit shorter than for most
infectious diseases
Usually the disease is attended by a
mortality of from to 10 per cent.
Some of the epdemics are attended by
an especially high degree of virulence.
In the present epidemic at New York
the death rate has been % per cent of
those found infected. Death sometimes
takes place in thirty-six hours and the
disease is therefore highly malignant
in some cases.
Regarding prevention-this is very
important and should be observed
even where there is no epidemic re-
ported. Secretions of the nose and
throat. being infectious, should be prop
ery cared for received into cloths.
which should be Immediately burned
and disinfected. Excretions also should
be disinfected in the same manner as
in typhoid fever.
THE patient should, of course. be
isolated and hospital treatment is
best. In the hospital proper isolation
clothing also must be properly disin-
fected.
The period of infection is long-six
or eight weeks. That is another factor
that makes this disease difficult to
handle. In other communica BILE dis
eases the period of infection is only a
few days"

Sporadic Gases Common.

Sporadic cases of this disease are oc-
curing all over the country all the
time, they say. and because a case is
found here and there il is very likely
such cases have no connection with the
New York outbreak. The public health
service. exercising its function of pre-
venting interstate spread. has sent tel
eSramS to service officers in every sec
ton of the country to report imme :
diately on the presence of infantile pa l.
ralysis and to keep the bureau in Wash
ington Informed of the situation in
their particular locality. Similar tele-
grams have been sent to all the state
health authorities. AS result of this
action, taken after meeting of the
general board yesterday. DIR. A H Glen
nan. assistant surgeon general of the
service, received thirty-nine kilograms
within an hour last night
Those in charge at the public health
service emphasize the fact that the
very name "infantile paralysis is a
misnomer. There are other forms of
1nfantile paralysis. due to birth de-
formities. while this disease has a dis
tinct entity and should be known as
Its real name, polio myelitis
They also emphasize that it is not
a disease peculiar to the child alone
crown persons have it and may carry
II IT is, however. more especially a
disease of children. and the epidemic
in New York is particularly viruIent
among those under the age of seven.

tee to Press for Its

The Carter bill to authorize the Sec

publish statistics and data relative to
production, manufacture and market
ing of crude petroleum and all its prod
ucts, measure designed to meet the
increased price of gasoline, was re-
ported favorably to the House today
by the mines committee
The information is to embrace spe-
officially the number of wells drilled,
total amount of products and any other
information of value to oil production
for use of the public. The bill au-
thorizes $4,000 for the purpose
To Press for Passage.
Il shall endeavor to secure the pas
sage of the Carter bill at this session
of Congress- said Chairman Foster of
the House committee on mines and
mining today. such action would be
the necessary preliminary step in at
tempted control of the constantly in
creasing price of gasoline.
The committee in it's efforts to strike
at the root of the trouble has been en-
barrassed by lack of adequate infor-
nation as to manufacture and methods
Of production. as well as other circum-
stances connected with the industry
AT this time no bureau of the govern
ment is possessed of authority to OBJ
tain the needed Information.
Not Under Federal Control.
TT seems that the oil industry is the
only great interstate business which is
not under federal overseeing in some
manner. No statistics are availa BILE
bearing upon the conduct of this wide
spread industry, and therefore legisla-
ton cannot be attempted in a thor
oughgoing way.
when we have at hand full informa-
ton Congress will be able to enact
legislation to remedy evils where they

Washington Sends Monkeys.

"All that could be bought in Wash
| ington yesterday were shipped to New
York by the hysienic laboratory, and
the entire country is called upon to
send in all that are available.
LAS an emergency measure today the
Department of Agriculture raised the
embargo on Importation of ANNA Is
from the Philippines in order that mon
keys may be brought in for this inves-
tigation. These Rhesus monkeys are
bred in captivity. for the most part.
Some of them come from the Philip
pines and others from South America.
All the laboratories are supplied with
them, but there are not enough in the
United States to cope with an epidemic
of such magnitude as has broken out
in New York. One hundred monkeys
which the Rockefeller Institute had
under laboratory inspection are to be
shipped at once.
Regarding symptoms, there are a
number of forms of the disease. Nearly
Jail are attended by paralysis. Usually
this is the first symptom, but it may
not be noticed until the third or fourth
day. Usual symptoms are fever. back
ache, etc, and pains as are customary
resemble an attack of meningitis or
other recognized forms of nervous dis
eases.
"Atrophy of the muscles follows
paralysis. The poison created by the
organism attacks the nerve cells IN the
brain and spinal cord-it seems to have
prediction for these cells. With
the atrophy YOU get contraction and
deformty.
