WASHINGTON "DRY" LAW
'DETERRENT OF CRIME'
Comparatively Few Criminal Trials
Due to Liquor Noted in Rockville
In Recent Months.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, March 25.-A dry"
Washington is having a decided deter
rent effect on crime in MONTGOMERY
county.
During the nearly FIVE months since
booze" was banished from the National
Capital the police court here, formerly a
busy scene nearly every day. has had COM
paratively few criminal trials Slump in
fees collected by the police justice is the
reason of an appeal to the legislature to
make the Office salaried one.
The work Of the sheriff's office has also
been greatly reduced Former Sheriff w
Frank Gather. whose term did not expire
until December 10. asserts the falling off
In criminal work during the last six weeks
he was in office depleted his fees so they
were scarcely sufficient to pay expenses
The present sheriff. William L. Aud, has
been anything but busy since he assumed
charge. bill has been introduced in the
legislature placing the Office of sheriff on
a salary basis at an annual CONDENSATION
Of $2.700.
One noticeable effect of the absence
of liquor in the District of Columbia is
the decrease in traffic with Washington,
ton in the District hundreds of Mont
gomery county residents made pill
grimages every week entirely for
hirst-quenching purposes. This was
especially true of Saturday afternoons
and evenings.
When Frederick county. which ad-
joins Montgomery on the north, be-
comes dry" as it will in a few weeks,
this county is expected to derive addi-
tional benefits. Much of the liquor now
consumed in Montgomery is obtained
from Frederick county.

C. 80. BOAT|MEN
!. STRIKE over WAGES
Delaying of Operation Threat
ems Washington's Next Win
ter Coal Supply.

A strike Of boetmen is in progress on
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal today,
despite oyertures made by the inland
waterways committee to adjust the wage
disagreement between the men and the
Canal Towage Company.
Operations were to have been started
on the canal yesterday. Advtoes reach
ing Washington at noon today were to
the effect that no coaIboats have been
loaded at Cumberland, and that the
boatmen are standing pat on their de-
mand for an increase from 50 to 7b
cents a ton for hauling coal from Cum
berland to Washington.
The situation admittedly Is serious.
In the eight months season last year
900 tons of coal Every day lost now
because of the strike may mean cur
failing of Washington's coal supply
for winter and increasing the burden on
the railroads.
Company's Offer.
The canal company has offered an in
crease to SIN cents a ton. and claims
this advanced rate will result in its pp-
Grating at loss Of thousands OF dol
lars this year. It has agreed to have
the controversy arbitrated by the in
land waterways committee appointed
by Director General McAdoo. Unomcta1
advices from Sharpsburg are that the
men have rejected arbitration and will
not go to work until terms have been
adjusted satisfactory to them-
With canal operation held up, ar
engagements went forward today be-
tween the Washington and Cumberland
chambers of commerce to insure great
freight shipments. A joint committee
of the two bodies will meet in WASH
ington in few days to consider return
cargoes to Cumberland and other mat
ters.
President William L. Sperry of tho
Cumberland organization has appointed
Thomas B. Finan, James C. Shriver and
L. l. Helmar to serve on this commit
tee. according to word received by
Secretary Grant of the Washington
Chamber today.
D. c. Committeeman.
The Washington half Of the COM
mittee is composed of Robert N. Har-
per. chairman; Nathan B. Williams
and P. T. Moran. When the committee
meets in Washington. which probably
will be the latter part of this week,
it will arrange for a conference with
the inland waterways committee to
discuss plans for trade development via
the canal.
Isaac Cans, chairman of the indus
trial interests committee of the Board
of Trade, last night appointed a sub
committee. composed of George R. Lin
kins, E. D. Sampson and A ]. May.
to work with the committee of the
Chamber of Commerce on the canal
project. At a meeting of Mr.. Cans
committee several members expressed
the belief that there are many COM
modities that the merchants of the
District could ship to Cumberland via
the canal, aside from the coal and
other products that could be supplied

spring, all of this filth will be washed
into the streams and carried to our

Washington's Death Was
Caused From Diphtheria
According to Physicians

In most histories it is stated that
George Washington died from pneu.
monia or quinsy, but DR.. J. A. Nydeg-
ger of the United States public health
service sends to the Medical Record
letter written by DR.. Cullen Dick of
Alexandria, Va, on January 10, 1900.
which shows that she undoubtedly
died of diphtheria."
The letter recounts the circum
stances of Washington's last hours. the
consultations Of the physicians in at
tendance, of whom Doctor Dick. the
writer Of the letter, was one, and tells
how Dick urged that the sufferers
trachea (windpipe) be cut open so as
to permit him to breathe. The other
doctors would not consent TO this.
They had bled their august patient in
vain, and would not even give q name
TO the disease from which he was dy-
Ing. Ii appears that Doctor Dick was
reluctant to acknowledge that there
had been an outbreak of Group I'm
Alexandria, and he would use only the
term "infammatory quinsy" for that
with which Washington was afflicted.
Doctor Dicks description Of the dis
ease, TO which he proposed to give the
name "cynanche laryngea." was one of
diphtheria; he did not use that word
perhaps because Ii had not yet been
invented.
