WASHINGTON IN THR0ES
OF INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

In an interview with Secretary
Clarence b. Douglas OF the Chant Der
OF Commerce, who returned yester-
day after a trip to Washington. he
stated that the influenza situation in
the capital still was very alarming
and had not cleared up to the extent
that 1t has in this city when he left
There were fifty-six deaths in
the capital city Thursday, and It is
almost impossible to secure sufficient
undertakers and grave dlggers to
care for tho disposition OF the
bodies" he said. Baltimore re-
corded eighty deaths the same day.
Schools churches and picture
shows are under quarantine and the
government buildings are emptied
twice each day at $3.50 and $3.50 in
order that the employees may have
fresh air and a circulation of air
free from the germ, may be obtained
within.
"No matter in what direction you
may happen to look, the unhappy
sight Of funeral is presented. In
my opinion" said Colonel Douglas.
Washington is a good place to avoid
until the spread OF the disease can
be checked"
