Children Should
be Kept at Home
Health Officer Warns Aga nst
lJantftc Paralysis Danger
in Traueling.

Parents. at this season. should keep
their children from coming in contact
with strangers on account of the preva-
lence of infantile paralysis in some sec
lions of the State, according to a
statement made last night by DR.. Roy
r. Flanagan. Chief Health Officer. DR..
Flanagan recently has been asked by
numerous citizens whether it would be
safe TO allow their children to visit
in rural sections.
In connection with this matter. DR..
Flanagan gave out tho following
statement:
Anyone. big or little. from an in
tected district, even though he show
no symptoms Of sickness. may possibly
be a carrier of infantile paralysis
and SO the present is no time to have
children come in contact with Stran-
gers. and parents are advised 20 keep
their children. as far as practical BILE.
of of trains and away from promis-
cuous public gatherings.
Unfortunately. few towns and fewer
counties in The State have well-organi-
-sd health departments. and infantile
paralysis IS rarely reported to the
State health authorities until the pa
t:snt has been sick several days. and
many people have had a chance to con-
tract the disease. Richmond, therefore.
is probably much safer place for chill
d-en than very many other places in
the State.
The state Health Department.
through the papers. is keeping the pub
lie informed as to where the disease is
prevalent"

Prove Shooting Was Not Acciden-
tai, as Coroner and Police Hold,
but Was Deliberate.

Police Justice Crutchf1eld yesterday

ing was deliberate and not an acct
dent.

asked to be summoned are William
Brown. father of the dead girl. 6l7
Walker Street; Mary Harris. her mar
GIT Walker Street. and Laura Clark.
SOL North Fourth Street. All are col
ored. Mary Harris told the lawyer. he

ing that the girl had slain herself. but

tive after her husband had been taken
away from the room. Mrs. Scar said
she had removed five cartridges from,
her husbands revolver after the young
colored woman picked up the weapon
and toyed with 1t. Then Mrs. Scar
said she snapped the revolver at the
colored woman in a playful mood and
It exploded. the girl falling dead at
Mrs. Sears feet
Coroner Whitfield said he would hold
no inquest, the accident theory satisfy
ing him. The police took the same
view OF 1t. According TO Detective
Sergeant willy. there were no witnesses
to the shooting, Mrs. Scar and the
dead girl being IN the room alone,
John Scar yesterday denied that the
police were not notified for an hour
after the shooting. He says they were

o. D. S. S. co. APPLIES
FOR INCREASED RATES
Joins Virginia Navigation Company In
Petition Before Corporation
omnnission.

Joined with tho Virginia Navigation
Company in its application for an in
crease III freight rates is the Old Do
minion Steamship Company. which
holds a controlling interest in the
former company. This development was
brought out yesterday when the State
Corporation Commission took up the
application filed several weeks ago by
the Virginia Navigation Company.
Pending the filing of papers by tho
Old Dominion Steamship Company. the
commission will not consider the first
application. desiring to hear both cases
at the same time. as the interests are
practically the same.
The two companies operate day and
night boats on the James River. The
Old Dominion Steamship Company owns

former corporation will ask for an In
crease In rates came from r. B.
Walker. president. and Lewis Wake,
general freight agent. These officers
also serve for the Virginia Navisat ton
Company. and 1t was their idea to have
the two hearings separate. Christie
pher B. Garnett. chairman of the Cor
poration Commission said that the two
petitions will involve substantially the
same considerations on the part Of the
commission, and so will be heard to-
gether.
Notice that the Old Dominion Steam
ship Company will ask for an Increase

indicates more pronouncedly than he.

panies with the operation of their boats
under present conditions. which led

CATION Company to dissolve by unani-
nous consent Of its stockholders, and

increased rates. The two companies
are owned by the five trunk-line rail-
roads Of Richmond.

MANY CHANGES MADE
IN LAST SEVEN YEARS
Roy Fisher of Yankees Says He
Feels Like "A Stranger i'm
American League.

Ray Fisher. Yankee pitcher, says
that he feels almost like a stranger
in the American league.
Ray broke into the big leagues
with the Yankees in 1910. when
George Stallings was at the helm.
And in seven years Ray has seen
many players come and go OF the
players who were with the Yankees
at the time he Joined the cluo.
Bobby Wallace alone remains to
greet him on the big time circuits.
Three Of the clubs in the Amer
lean league have undergone COM
plete changes in lneups since Fish
er broke in. They are the Browns,
White Sox and the Yanks. Terry
Turner still withstands the ravages
Of time at Cleveland. and he is the
only one left who was with the club
in 1910. Hooper and Gardner of
the Red Sox. Stuffy McInnis. of the
Athletics; Johnson. Mcbride and
Milan of Washington, and Stanage,
Bush and Cobb of the Tigers, are
still starring.
SO Fisher finds only 10 players
still with the clubs on which they
played when he broke in, while six
others-Cieotte, Plank, Collins. Bar
~. Baker and Austin-have changed
clubs, and all antedate Fishers entry
into the league
No wonder Ray feels like a vet
