AWAIT WORD
 CONCERNING 2 i J. 5. OFFICERS
Engine Trouble Forced Them Down-Technical-
 ly Under Arrest

i Fl Paso, Texas, Feb 3.---Word was awaited today concerning Lieutenants G. L. Usher and L.. M Wolf, Ameri- can army aviators stationed at Fort Bliss, who were captured yesterday by Mexican soldiers near Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico, and taken to Naco- zari, technically under arrest.
 The Americans, on a flight from Fort Bliss to Nogales, Arizona, be- came lost yesterday and were Is kill ometers south of Nacozari when en- zine trouble necessitated a forced landing.
 Major General Robert L. Howse, commander of the Fl Paso district, said he anticipated no difficulty in obtaining the release of the aviators. Although it is believed their deten- ton was merely to get a formal state nent from the Americans as to their excuse of venturing south of the border, American Consul Francis J. Dyer, at Nogales, has taken the matter up with Governor Adlofo De LaVentura of Sonora.
 Reports last night said the Ameri- cans were being treated with con- s.deration. It was said their ma chine was damaged in making the landing. Whether it could be re- paired to make the return trip un- der it's own power was not known,

Paris, Feb. 3-The draft of the note to be sent to Germany with the list of persons whose extradition is to be demanded by the Allies was ap- proved by the Council of Ambassa- dors at it's meeting this morning. The note and the list will be handed over at once to the German representa- tives here

 The terms of the proposed allied response were considered at length and will be further taken up at the next meeting of the council, on Fri day It is not expected, however that a decision will be reached OF that day, as the different govern ments interested must be consulted
 The request of Poland for arms and supplies was under consideration for some time by the council. It was not considered, however, whether help of this kind would be supplied to the Polish government.

51 NEW CASES ARE REPORTED MAKING
 THE TOTAL NOW 591
Health Dept. is Handi- capped Because Physi- clans Are Not Report ing Their Cases Until Deaths Occur One Death Yesterday.

There seems to be no appar- ent decrease in the spread of Spanish Influenza over Bridge port. Up until noon today 51 new cases had been reported bringing the grand total of vic tims to 591.
 Dr. Brown of the Health Depart ment admitted this morning in. his daily interview with the reporters that the epidemic was reaching out further in its scope each day and that the city was beginning to get a reflex in deaths. The department reports show that three persons died of in- fuenza on Sunday, and one on Mon day, while two succumbed of pneu- monia on both days.
 The Health Department is some what handicapped in compiling figures because some of the physicians of the city are not reporting their cases. In some instances the doctors wait until the patient dies, and then regardless of the cause of death a certificate is filed attributing the demise to the cpl
  demic. --
 pr. Brown pointed out this morn ing that it has been definitely shown that the disease is spread through careless washing of eating utensils Sanitary inspectors are making 2 round of restaurants and soda water emporiums of the city advising the proprietors to sterilize each utensi with boiling water and plenty ot soap. Tests made last summer proved that 97 per cent of the bac- teria could be killed in this man. ner.
 In pointing out the danger tha- turks in careless methods employed in some restaurants Dr. Brown saic that the advise applied personally is theo home. He urged that person: having @ cold use their own dishes and wash them separately.

64Teactlers On Sick
 List
Some of Instructors Are Teaching Both Sessions
 of High School.
ILLNESS LOWERS
 NEW REGISTRATION

Influenza, colds, La Grippe in
 its sundry forms continues to
 cut heavily into the ranks Of
 the teaching faculties of the
 city. At Supt. Slawson's office
 this morning, 64 teachers were
 reported as absent because of
 illness.
 The High school was hit the hard est with a list of 24 absentees, while
 the grades had 40 teachers on the sick roster. This increase is some what remarkable when yesterdays figures of 3s is considered At the High school, where two ses- sions are held some of the teachers
 are being called upon to teach both
 morning and afternoon. In the
 grades, Supt. S1awson, is trying to re-
 cruit every available substitute in the city, besides calling upon the nor- nal school students to fill the va cancies. In some cases it has been found necessary to unite the smaller classes.
 The Board of Health has requested d the School Board to keep the schools running at all cost, and for that req son Supt. Slawson is bending every effort to keep the ranks of his teach ing corps filled. The prevalency of ill- ness among the teachers has had a marked effect upon the attendance of | the children. Yesterday was registra- tion day and only 370 new children l entered the school house for the first | time.
 According to Supt. Slawson this number represents only half of the | children that were expected to regis ter. It was impossible to gather fig l Irres this morning on the total numb CT
 of absentees in the city but close es-
 innate would place the number at | 1000. Beginning tomorrow daily re- ports will be sent ix from all schools | to the Board of Education. MT. Slaw- 1 son expressed the belief this mornine 1 that there were more children absent 1 from school with measles than from 1 influenza.

NICHOLS BRINGS
 SUIT 0NPATENTS ON WATER HEATER

A dispute over the payment for the
 patent rights of an electric water
 heater has resulted in a suit for S15,-
 900 damages being brought by An
 drew P. Nichols of this city, the in-
 gentor, against the Bridgeport Ma
 chine & Tool Co. Nichols claims the company agreed to pay him S10,- 900 and other considerations for his patent rights. He says only S2,5O0
 has been paid and he started the
 present action to recover damages for the alleged breach of contract.
 Attorney F. J. Breen, counsel for the Bridgeport Machine & Tool Co, stated today that when Nichols rights were bought in March, 1918, the inventor was promised S10,000
 in exchange for a complete surren-
 der of Nichols entire interest in everything pertaining to the patent.
 The company's counsel says Nichols has surrendered only a part of what he promised and has held back arti- cles It is claimed that from Oct. 13 last to the present time Nichols has failed to perform his agreement. The company claims to be willing to pay Nichols the balance on the contract price when he performs his agree ment. The company's factory prop 1 erty on Connecticut avenue was at | tached and there was a hearing today | before Judge Keeler regarding the acceptance of a surety bond.
