None of them was fatally injured, how

1908 L street southeast. They LETT the
hospital before morning.
1t is stated that a number of colored
persons from two parks in Anacostia
were boarding the forward car. when
the rear car came down the steep
grade from the Government Hospital
for the Insane and crashed into it, the
refusal of the brakes on the rear car
to work being the reason assigned for
the accident.
Passengers were thrown in all direc-
tfons. but the police found 1t neces-
sary to take only seven to the hospi-
tails. The forward car was in charge
of Motorman Patrick J. Glynn and Con-
ductor Samuel Bass. while the crew of
the rear car was composed of Motor
man ]. E. Youngblood and Conductor
C. L. Snow.
So serious was the damage to the
rolling stock that traffic on the line
was interrupted and many persons de-
layed in getting home. An investiga-
tion of the affair will be made by the
public utilities commission.

Wade Frost Of the public health serv-
ice said:
Frankly we don't know how the dis
ease is transmitted, nor it's cause. The
evidence strongly points to humans as
the carr liers. The evidence is that it is
purely a human disease, and If con-
tagious a large proportion of persons
exposed are immune. 1t must be spread
very largely from sources other than
sick persons, mostly by adults. Against

Our theories do not exclude transmits

hardly suspect any but dogs or cats

80 per cent of infection can be traced

There are few infections Of persons ex-
posed in their own families, he stated.

Some objection Raised.

After the employees meeting had been
in session several hours one of the lead
ers came out and said sentiment for the
Presidents proposal was by no means
unanimous. but no organized opposition
to the plan had appeared. Most of them
thought tho proposition good in the
main, but a number found objections
to ii.
During the morning President Wilson
prepared a statement reviewing the
negotiations and explaining why he
chose the plan of settlement based on
the eight-hour day. The statement
probably will be. given out later.
The attitude of the railroad presi-
dents as they went to the White House
was that they want arbitration under
the Newlands act. with two arbitrators
for roads. two for the men and two for
the public. The disposition of many of
them was said today to be to insist
upon action of that character. and not
yield to President Wilson's plan for an
eigh-hour day, unless it comes from an
arbitration board.
Some of the railway presidents are said
TO feel that public opinion will support
their offer to arbitrate everything in dis
pute.
Some others, however. were of the
opinion that if President Wilson
chooses to exercise his power and re-
fuses to press the men for arbitration,

fdents to continue opposition to his
plan.

"wooDRow WILSON
"The White House.
August Is, 1916"
The writing of the veto of the army
bill followed closely n conference with
Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment who had conferred freely with
officers of the general staff and other
officials of the War Department before
laying his objections to the bill before
the President. The bill has been before
eic w al several ana
has been given careful consideration
there.
Would Open Way for Attacks.
There have been broad intimations
that the revision which proposed to re-
move retired officers from the
jurisdiction of courts martial was in
the interest of a certain retired officer
who was waiting for a time when he
would be immune from discipline to
make public attack on the army. The
officer whose name was mentioned in
connection with the report was, while
in service. very active in legislative af-
fairs, was very close to congressman
framing army bills and, until his re-
urement was reckoned with as a
power in legislation affecting the army.
The Presidents veto of the bin is one
of the developments of years of contest
between the army and Chairman Hay.
The downfall of the continental army
scheme and substitution of the Nations al
Guard reorganization against the
recommendation of army officers is at
tributed to him. Only the force of
President Wilson's Interference put the
organization bill through the House in
the face of Hays opposition. Recently
President Wilson appointed Hay to a
judgeship on the Court of Claims, and
he now is serving his last term in Con-
gress.
The War Department contends that
many features of the army bill were
written into it in the conference and never
were debated in House or Senate.
