PRESIDENT SERIOUSLY ILL.

Washington Oct 2-President vii
son is "a very sick man" and "his con
dition Is less favorable" it was salt
by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the presidents
physician, in a statement issued at il
o'clock Thursday night from the White
House.
The following bulletin was ISSUED
by DR.. Grayson:
"The president is a very sick man
His condition is less favorable today
and he has remained in bed through
out the day.
After consultation with DR.. F. X
Dercum of Philadelphia, Doctors Ster
ling Ruffin and E. R. Stitt of Washing
ton, who all agreed as to his condition
it was determined that absolute res,
is essential for some time"
DR.. Dercum returned to Philadelphia
Secretary Tumulty announced.
After the consultation, 1t developed
that the physicians called in by Dr.
Grayson had agreed entirely with his
diagnosis of the presidents ailment and
approved the course Of treatment de
cided upon by him.
1h7 name of DR.. Dennis, director oil

di not appear in the bulletin DR.. Gray
son gave out, but he was said to have
been at the White House during the
two-hours consultation.
There was much speculation in the
capital as to the presidents real con.
dition, and concern was generally ex
pressed.
When the consulting physicians left
tie White House shortly after half
past six o'clock, DR.. Grayaon remained
and at 10 o'clock he went to the ex-
ecutive office and gave out his bulle-
tin through Secretary Tumulty.
Earlier in the day DR.. Grayson made
known that the presidents physical
condition was fairly strong and that
his blod pressure was good. The presi-
dents age-he is approaching his Gard
birthday-it was explained, however,
made close watching OF his condition
essential.
Former Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo, the presidents son-in-law,
called at the White House during the
day, but it could not be learned wheth-
er he had been requested to come to
Washington because Of Mr.. Wilson's
illness or was in the city ON business

PROCEEDING S
OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOR ST.
TConlinued from Tuesday, AUlS. !

Continued from Tuesdays Avjs.
4th Appointed Member (BJackaUoodl
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. We had this
Money Bill and estimate before the NUM-
cipal Committee the other day, but being
pressed for time we only glanced
through the estimate. While | do not
doubt there is room to use he entire ap-
preparation to good advantage, it struck
me while looking over the estimate that
some Of the figures were too high while
others seemed too low.
| would SUCCESS that a Ommittee be
appointed by the Council to examine he
different allotments with the Road Com
mission n try t. get the money eX-
pended to the best advantage possible.
Our roads In this lslai q are better than
the average country roads used TO be in
the United States a few years ago, but
there is plenty rom for improvement,
and | think it wise to make good automo-
bile roads, especially through "Creque"
which is one of the attractive drives in
the Northside; and as it is subject to
washouts in heavy rains, should have
good work done on it. In my humble
opinion the future prosperity of this Is
land depends more or less on the winter
resorters; we have a SPLENDID climate
and good roads will add another attrac-
ton.
This is an agricultural Island, pure and
simple, and sugar is our principal produc-
ton. but it is hard for this small Island
to compete with the sugar producers of
the world where it is produced in such
gigantic scale today. | am glad that this
appropriation has been made, and l trust
an improvement will be made in the
work done, SO the roads, when repaired,
will stand the heavy rainfalls.
The Chairman then put the proposal
, 1919-06-12

not be obligated as it was kept solely for
the purpose for which it was created if
that's the case, then it would be better
to try and raise the amount from some
other source.
1st Member for Frederiksted Country
District Andersen remarked: Mr.. Chair
man. AS a Member of the Road Com
mission | had to do with the making up
of this estimate, and as the time was
brief we couldn't make any elaborate
estimate. AS the Reserve Fund is drawn
s. much upon | believe that we might be
able to come to some conclusion when
the bill goes to a committee as to where
the money should come from.
The Chairman would like to know as
the bill is subject to one discussion if
Members would like to defer discussion
on it until next meeting
End Member for Frederiksted Coun-
try District (M. ". Skeoch) remarked:
Mr.. Chairman. If it is of such vital
Importance to have the roads repaired
| do not think it advisable to let the
bill go over until the next meeting.
1st Member for Frederiksted Coun-
try District (Andersen) proposed and
it was carried that LIST Discussion re-
main open until next meeting.
The Chairman remarked: LIST Dis
cussion on the bill will remain open
until next meeting.
The Chairman then gave a recess of
10 minutes.
After recess the Council re-assem-
bled and the Chairman proceeded to
take the vote for a committee OF 7 on
Colonial Council Bill No. 3.

made by End Member for Christiansted
Town to the vote.
IL members voted for; none against.
The Chairman remarked: The voting
will take place after recess.
End Member for Christiansted Town
(Caneg0ta) was of The opiHion hat if LIST
Discussion on the bill remain open there
would be more scope for discussing the
bill at the next meeting.
4th Appointed Member (BIackwood)
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. This ques-
tion is a matter of great Importance, and
| believe it would be much better to let
LIST Discussion remain open, particularly
as there is no reason for hurrying the
bill through today.
Fhe Chairman remarked: 1St Discus
sion on the bill will remain open Until the
mex meeting.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Country
District (AmderSen) would like to know
if LIST Discussion is not closed today if it
would be possible to put the bill through
at the next meeting as the roads are in
bad condition and require immediate
attention.
The Chairman answered: 1t is left en-
tirely with the Council to decide; they
can pass it at the next meeting if they 50
desire.

Resolution granting Francs. so, 10000
from the St. Croix Reserve Fund,

repairs to roads in St. Croix. Intro
duced by Government.
Lieutenant E. L.. Beach in introducing
the Resolution said Mr.. Chairman. |
think | covered the points regarding this
Resolution when | spoke before. The
Reserve Fund seems to be the only fund
available for the purpose. and it seems
to come within the provisions for which
the Juno was created.
4th Member for Frederiksted Country
District FemGngl remarked: Mr.. Chair
man. AS the Reserve Fund seems to be
pretty low couldn't we ask Government
to help US out with the $50, 900 which
was offered for the hospital
Lieutenant E. L.. Beach answered: Ar
engagements have already been made for
the expenditure of that amount in St.
Thomas, and therefore, it is not avail
able.
4th Appointed Member (Btackwood)
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. The only
thing that strikes me in regard to this
Resolution is, in our last meeting we
