WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE

New York. June 2.-Bradstreets review
Of trade for the week ending tomorrow
will say:
"Feverish buying has subsided, but in
its place has come a steady, more orderly
and yet very large volume of busine ss,
and the virtual arrival of the between
seasons period sees tradc as well as in
dustry moving along at a rate far above
the seasonal normal. Neither the re-
duced democratic buying Of steel nor the
weakness in southern pig iron, old ma
terials and such metals as copper. spell
ter, lead. tin and antim6ny loom large
in another wise strong situation. Op-
timism. though tempered by high prices,
is not one white less marked than II
was at the height of the boom. the plain
fact being that the country is sold up
and therefore can afford TO sit back for
breathing spell.
Industry is working at an unwonted
pace. diminished new buying Of domestic
steel is offset by foreign demand, the
old story Of labor commanding high
wages is more applicable than ever, and
warm weather has improved trade as
we'll a 5 crop conditions
Mail order trade goes on expanding.
the principal centers report that road
orders are highly satisfactory and semi
annual clearance sales OF dry goods and
general merchandise at the West are
well attended by visiting buyers, most OF

ALEXANDRIA in
GRIP OF EPIDEMIC
Health Board Closes Schools
and Theaters as Scarlet
Fever Spreads.
THE HERALD BUREAU,
r. Z. knight & Son,
~ 80 ~ e. 4

Alexandria, Va. June 2.-Because Of
the prevalence of a mild epidemic Of
scarlet fever in the city the public and
private schools, moving-picture theatres,
and Sunday schools Of the city were or
dered closed by the city health depart
ment until the disease is stamped out
The order becomes effective at once in
all cases except the moving-picture es-
Establishments and theaters, which were
Permitted to run tonight. They how
ever, will not open after tonight, it was
stated.
This action was taken by the health
department at a meeting held at O'Clock
this afternoon at the office of City
Health Officer F. \ German in the
health office, attended by Aldermen
George H. Robinson, Maurice Wilkins,
and City Councilman c. S. Burke, the
last three being members of the health
committee of the city council.
DR.. German stated tonight that up to
the present only sixteen cases have been
officially reported to him. He added that
he believed from observation that the
maximum number of cases in the city is
not more than seventy-ive.
The doctor also stated that all Of the
cases reported are of a mild nature and
no deaths have resulted thus far.
The disease. DR.. German said. is not at
an alarming stage, and a number Of the
cases reported, he said, are simply sore
throats without any eruption Many are
also reported to be suffering from ton
siltIs.
Some people, DR.. German stated, do

Evidences OF restricted distribution be

little suspension of work in leading indus

Owing to various causes, new orders are
below the recent phenomenal record. Yet
a certain hesitation in business. with

nor unnatural a. this period, especially
in a year OF presidential nominations.

a recommendation OF the Commission
ers. yesterday appointed 4 board Of three
to consider the project The board IS
composed OF Lieut.. Col c. A F. Flag
Ter. Col. Henry c. Newcomer. and Col

crease OF 62.o0o,ooo gallons in the ci;y's

at the house preceding the raid. Mrs.
Kcnnett hopes to refute this contention
by offering the book itself in evidence.
On the witness stand. Mrs Kennett de-
clared she had accused a woman lodger
at her home not long before the raid of
being an accomplice Of the police depart
ment The government described this
person as a woman of mystery" It IS
expected that further light will be shed
upon her identity. Mrs. Kennett did not
reveal her reasons for suspecting the
woman.
The technicality raised by the defense
did not come as surprise. Attorneys
| A. A Birney and Michael Mangam, for
the defense argued that the detective
was charged merely with the unlawful
entry of private" property, whereas, in
truth, the home of Mrs. kennett, since
she accepted roomers, was public" prop
erty.
The prosecution rebutted the contention
with scores of citations as to the mean
ing of the word private and public"
and as to their application. The govern
ment pointed out Mat Mrs. Kennett lives
in a double house and argued that be-
cause she admitted roomers in the pub
lie" side through the door to her ''pri-
vate" side would not necessarily make
the entrance public"
1t was in cross-eXamination that Mrs.
Kennett was asked about the register of
boarders, and after considerable per-
suasion she told the court that she might
be able to find II. The register interested
Judge Mullowny. Mrs Kcnnett had tes-
titled that no roomers were received at
her house between March 10 and l6, or
between the two visits of the vice
SQUAD" The defense attempted to draw
out that a woman had been admitted as
a lodger March Il, but was unsuccess-
full.
The witnesses for the prosecution, in
addition to Mrs. Kennett, were her s.
year-old daughter, Gloria, and Policeman
w. H. Rock, of the Sixth precinct, who
responded to Mrs. Kennett's call for help
when the house was raided.
Mrs Kennett graphically described the
circumstances of the raid Of Detective
Howes and Policeman J. f. Elliott upon
her home on March 16. She said that on
March 10 they had come ostensibly to
engage rooms, and had given assumed
names, and then had left without regis
tering She said she recognized the raid
ers of March 16 as the same men who
called on March 10. She said she Ques-
toned their assertion that they were
policemen and, believing them burglars
rushed in terror to the telephone and
notified the Sixth precinct that her house
was being broken into.
Howes and Elliott recently elected to
be tried separately and by Judge instead
of by jury. ElHott will be tried later on.

WILL
ATTRACT MANY
LOCAL PEOPLE
Today Will Mark the Introduc,
ton of Famous Medicine
in Washington.

Crowds are expected at the Peoples
Drug Stores today, for 1t will be the
first day of the Introduction of Tanlac,
the celebrated new preparation, in
Washington.
The Tanlac representative, who has
been specially trained at the Tanlac
| Laboratories, will be looted at the
store at Seventh and E SITS. N. W.,
where he will explain Tanlac to all
who call. However, the Master Medi-
cine will be on sale at all the other
| Peoples Drug Stores located at 7th
and K SITS. N. w, 1850 7th st. N. w,
and 2O02 14th st. N. w. where any
one interested can learn of it's won
derful therapeutic qualities.
! Many local residents have heard of
the fame of Tanlac through New York
/ or Southern connections. but it will be
! their first opportunity to come in close
personal touch with the famous medi-
/ cine. and have it's merits explained to
! them.
! Washington is. indeed. fortunate to
secure an exclusive agency for Tanlac.
for many of the local residents have
been compelled to send away for this
medicine, owing to their inability to
obtain it in this city.
| The Tanlac Laboratories are now on
a production basis of nearly 5000, 900
bottles year, and the demand for this
premier preparation is increasing
steadily. Judging from this record and
! Endorsements, Tanlac will lead into
great popularity here, as it has else
where. 1t is the belief of the Peoples
Drug Stores that Tanlac has no equal
as remedy for stomach, liver and
kidney ailments and catarrhal affec-
tions of the mucous membranes, or as
a tonic, tissue builder and strength
producer for men and women of low
! vitality.
! Tanlac will be on sale at all the four
Peoples Drug Stores.-Ady,

not realize that precautions are neces-
sary in cases of simple sore throat.
The announcement Of the action of the
health department caused considerable
surprise when it was learned tonight in
view of the fact that all of the cases re-
ported are of mild nature.
The closing of the schools may prove
serious drawback because of the fact
that many of the pupils will be prevented
from taking their final examinations,
which were to have been held during the
coming week. The schools would have
closed June 10. 1t is expected that the
city school board will take action at its
meeting Monday night. st. Mary s
Academy, conducted by the Sisters of
the Holy Cross, would have closed June

scare in the city more than 100 pupils in
the, public schools had been withdrawn
by their parents.
1t is also stated that one Sunday school
in the city contemplated closing Sunday
because of the prevalence of the cpl
demic.
As a result of the action of the health
department two moving picture estao-
lishments for whites, one theater and
several moving picture establishments for
Colored people will be closed after to-
night.
Five mild cases OF the fever are re-
ported to exist in Alexandria County.

members of the association the existence
Of the disease in the city.
