PNEUMONIA BOOSTS
DISTRICT DEATH RATE
274 Succumb to Malady From
January / to February Is,
Fowler Says.

The large number Of victims claimed
by pneumonia since January 1 will
cause Washington's death rate to as
cend this year. Health Oficer Fowler
predicted today.
The health officer had hoped the
wave OF grip and colds would subside
with the passing OF January. but
deaths from pneumonia have not fall
en- off during the past two weeks, it
was learned today.
Officials of the health Office believe
many of the pneumonia deaths result
ed from heavy colds or attacks Of
grip.
1t was learned today that one PROM
inent local surgeon Is postponing
operations in all cases where 1t is
possible. because Of the prevalence of
sickness.
From January to February 13 ply
sicians reported 274 deaths from pneu-
monia. During January and Febru-
ary last year a total of only 1876 pneu-
monia victims were listed. and that
figure represents a period fifteen days
longer than the present record of 274.
During January of this year pneu-
monia deaths numbered 179. With
two weeks remaining. the record for
the present month already is 95. Last
month there were 43 deaths from in
fenZa and grip and up to Tuesday OF
this month there were 90 deaths from
those two causes.
DIR. Fowler believes that within the
next ten days or two weeks the cpl
demic Of colds will subside. taking
with It the wave Of pneumonia.

SLOW DRY ACT TRIALS
CRITICIZED IN SENATE
Dial, South Carolina, Says There
Is Need Of New Police
Judge,

The enforcement OF the prohibition
law in the District of Columbia was
criticized in the Senate yesterday by
Senator Dial Of South Carolina.
Senator Dial said that since Jam
uary 1 some 200 arrests have been
made here for violation Of the pro-
hibition law. Only a few Of these
cases have been tried each week.
The offenders give bonds. he said,
and before the trials come on witnesses
disperse. and 1t is difficult to handle
the cases.
Senator Dial said that there was need
of an additional Police Court judge in
the District. He said that while he
was in favor of economy, In his opinion
n was false economy not to provide an
other Judge, and he hoped that the Dis
t,dct committee would give the matter
prompt attention.

Wyoming oil operations during the
month of March witnessed a falling off
in new production and new work, due
in part to the conservation program
in effect in the Salt Greek field, where
drilling is almost at a standstill in
comparison with last year, and in other
districts to the severe winter weather
which delayed drilling and prevented
the starting of new wells. Twenty-Five
compilations, one of them dry. were
recorded for the month with aggregate
initial production of o,315 barrels of
oil a day as against 30 compilations,
two of them dry, rated at S,42o barrels
during February.
Preparations to fight the contention
of the Frantz corporation, oil produces
in the Cat Creek field, that the states
net proceeds AK should be levied
against all wells owned by the company
as a group, is being made by the state
board Of equalization. BY a former
ruling of the board the wells Of the
Frantz corporation were put in four
oup on each Of which the net prof
its tax was figured. The company paid
the tax under protest and is now seek

practically an Increase of 100 per CEN
over any other months business except

the judge was concerned for the men
