In response to a query sent TO the

OF the statute regarding the serv-
ices of the city health officer. the
following reply. signed by DR.. w. F.

clan. you are Of course entitled to
your lay for such services. AS
health officer you are not required
20 render professional services to
any one. You cannot. OF course, rem
der professional service and charge
this professional service TO the city
because this puts you in the posi-
ton of employing yourself at public
expense. The health officer is not re-
CURED 70 attend contagious diseases

or will not treat such case. ANY
services rendered by you 20 this

practicing physician and you can
bring suit to recover proper fees for
such service"

quired to act as attending physician
in contagious cases, that had been
called to the attention of the health
board. 1t was for the purpose OF def
initely correcting this erroneous i'm
preston that DR.. Freyermuth COM
municated with the state board
According to the above ruling, the
health officer can collect fees when
called into a consultation and IL
treating the patient regularly can
recover fees for such service Chart

ferred 10 the township trustee, ac-
cording 20 common practice and the

department of the District of Columbia
Chapter of the Red Cross, and every
available nurse is on duty" said Miss
Mabel Boardman, vice chairman Of the
local organization, today in discussing
the nursing phase of the influenza situa-
ton.
Miss Boardman admitted that COM
paratively small number of replies had
been received from the chapters appeal
issued last Sunday to all graduate or
practical nurses and to all women who
have passed successful examinations in
home care for the sick. Many nurses,
she explained. who were enrolled in the
last survey of local nursing resources
have left Washington, have gone into
some other line of activity, or have mar
ried, while others may think that, in
view Of the statements that there is no
epidemic, there is no necessity for their
services.
Miss Boardman further points out
that now is an excellent time for
women who have not heretofore
awaited themselves of the chance to
learn home hygiene and dieteucs

POWHATAN DISABLING
INVESTIGATED BY BOARD
War Department Says Reports Of
Bolshevik Activity Are
Unfounded.

Investigation Of the cause of the
disabling of the Army transport
Powhatan at sea is being made by an
official board sitting at New York
In announcing this today the War
Department said reports regarding
bolshevik activity, by members of the
transports crew or others on board
had thus far been proved to be with
out foundation.
From information available here it
appears that in a heavy gale a por-
ton of the coal bunker bulkhead was
carried away, allowing about seventy
five tons Of coal to shift. The fuel
choked the pumps and they could not
keep up with leakage through a
clogged ash ejector. In spite of the
rapidly rising water in the f1reroom,
it was said, all of the firemen re-
manned on duty until specifically or
dered out by the chief engineer. when
the water was shoulder high.
