Here Since January 4.

Sleeping sickness is appearing in
Washington again.
Seven cases of the malady have
been reported to the District Health
Department since January i, it be.
came known today. In four Of
these cases death resulted.
DIR. William G. Fowler, District
Health Officer. while declaring he
was not alarmed over the situation,
took steps to prevent the spread of
this disease. He also ordered an
investigation into the cases reported.
Sleeping sickness is not disease
which physicians are required to re-

sequently the department may not

which may possibly exist, 1t was
said today.

oughly acquainted with the situation.
DIR. Fowler has written to all local
physicians requesting them to re-
port any cases OF this disease which
come to their attention.
Should Keep Informed.
His letter follows:
1.-THE Health Department is much
interested in the present outbreak of
endemic encephalitis lethargica
sleeping sicknessl in the city Of New
York, and also in some of the other
cities. With a view Of keeping in
touch with the situation In the Dis
trict OF Columbia, have to request
that you report promptly to this
DEPARTMENT all cases Of epidemic
encephalitic lethargica coming under
your observation.
1T is important that this depart
ment be kept informed of the true
conditions in this city in order that
1t may be in a position to determine
what, lie any, measures should be
adopted to prevent the spread Of this
disease in this District.
Your cooperation in this matter
will be greatly appreciated"

tors visit each home in which the

MAID IS HUNTED
IN KIDNAPPING
Of CHILD
Abnormal Maternal instinct
Seen in Girls Abduction Of
Judges Son.
By International News Service.

ALBANY, NJ Y, March TO-
Every clue in the alleged kidnap-
ing of three.year.old Leopold Min
kin, son of City Court Judge Leo
pold Minkin, by twenty-year-old
Mary Conkling, his nursemaid, has
failed and the mystery deepens
hourly.
The child's mother is on the
verge Of prostration, and the father
has not closed his eyes since his
little son so mysteriously dropped
out of sight Thursday afternoon.
Early today the police had run
down a clue leading to Bennington,
VT. The police believe that the ar
rival Of Mrs. Louis Keblin and her
three-year-old son in Bennington
last night gave rise to the reports
that the abductor of the Albany
city.
Authorities are convinced that
the kidnapping trail leads to Troy.
A conductor Of Troy car claims
a young woman with a child an
swering the description Of the miss
ing nurse and Minkin baby rode
with him to Troy.
Abnormal maternal instinct is the
motive seen by criminologists in the
state prisons department in the
kidnapping Of the Minkin baby. Chief
of Police Frank Lasch also is in
clined to believe that the longing
of a young woman for a baby of
her own is responsible for the alb
duction.
Friends Of the Minkin family
scout the theory that the child may
have been stolen for a ransom.
PATERSON, n. j., March 10
Police authorities here today de-
clared they have ascertained that
Mary Conkolino, believed to be the
abductor Of Leopold Minkin, lived
in East Paterson, near here. A let
ter found in the room the girl occu-
pied was addressed to a family by
the name of "Columbo." Police are
seeking the Columbo family for
more information on the alleged
kidnaper.

PARKPROjECT IS
APPROVED BY
R|TCH|
Maryland Governor Will Aid
Movement for 5000
Acre Reservation.

With Gov. Albert C. Richie. Of
Maryland, lending his Endorsement,
the forest reservation project to
establish 9,000-acre park between
Baltimore and Washington will be
vigorously pushed at the next SEES
son of Congress, it was learned
today.
A bill to purchase land for such
a park was introduced in the last
session Of Congress, but action on 1t
was not. taken. Several hearings
were held on the matter in the
Senate District Committee, but no
report of the measure was made.
The project was first advocated by
the Washington Board Of Trade.
Both Cities Interested.
Residents of the District and Of
Baltimore are behind the movement,
and the boards of trade OF both
cities, together with civic organiZa-
tons, will assist in having the
project carried out. The measure
was referred to the House Commit
tee on Public Buildings and Grounds
and the Senate District Committee
at the last session of Congress. but
action on it was delayed because OF
the great pressure OF business be-
fore the two bodies.
That bills to carry out>the project
will be introduced in both Houses
Of Congress next December, Is as
sured. Both Senator Ball, who
sponsored the measure in the last
Congress, and Congressman John
w. Langley, chairman of the House
Committee to which the bill was
referred, are strongly in favor of
the forest reservation project.
Under the plan a national forest
would be created adjacent to the
District. in Montgomery, Prince
Georges and Anne Arundel counties.
1t is proposed that a permanent
commission be appointed by the
President to extend the park system
of the District into Maryland and
Virginia.
The authors of the bill advocate
two new roads from Washington to
Baltimore in connection with the
project. One would be by way Of
Rock Creek Park and Rockville and
the other through Camp Meade.
The latter would he included under
the plan in the forest reserve.
The city-wide congress of Balti-
more has signified it's intention Of
pushing the measure through the
next Congress. The Endorsement OF
this organization means that the
business men of the Monumental
City favor the idea Of a large park
between the two cities.
