likely that we can expect some of
the instigators of all the trouble

they settle their scores"
Mayor Anderson said local politics
also had much to do with the unrest

are alleged to be pro-Klan in their
sympathies and the other three anti

AS a result there are two sets OF

SEES DEMOCRAT VICTORY
Senator Jones Says Need for Har-
mony Is Party Asset.

The election of a Democratic Senate
and House appears to be certain"
and common sense will dictate to
the American people the advisability
of the election of a Democratic Pres
ident, thereby bringing harmony be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches of our Government" Sena-
tor Jones of New Mexico. chairman of
the Democratic senatorial committee,
announced yesterday.
1--WE all know" the Senator said,
that the Republican party Is welded
to reaction, but for the sake of the
election in some instances the cam
paign orator would have US believe
that it is the chief apostle of progress
siveism. Common sense as a campaign
issue is nothing. if not unique. 1t Is
hardly an appeal to intelligence to
suggest to the American electorate
that it should have to choose an ad-
minfstration that would use common
sense in governmental matters"

RADIO WILL GUARD
zR-3 OCEAN FLIGHT.
Constant Watch to Be Kept
for S 0 S Signals During
DirigibIe's Trip.
by CARL III. BUTMAN.

A week from today the 65O-foot
German-built airshin, the ZR-3, is
expected to start on her cruise from
Friedrichshafen for the United States.
Today three United States naval
ships took station in the North At
lantic to guard her course and keep
in touch with her on the long trans
Atlantic cruise by radio, maintain
ing a sharp watch for sos signals
With the cooperation of the
weather bureau the Navy Department
has laid out the most extensive and
complete plans ever completed for
aiding an aircraft cruise. Radio is
the essential feature and 1t is plan
ned first to keep communication con-
stantly open between this greatest
rigid airship and either the ships or
land stations during the 3,000-mile
flight.
The U. S. S. Patoka, mother ship
of the Shenandoah, will take station
about 800 miles south of Cape Fare
we'll, Greenland, where she will serve
as station ship, the center of the sea
communications. acting at the same
time as a meteorological point. A
light cruiser, stationed about 500
miles farther south and 800 miles
southeast of Cape Race, Newfound-
la nd, will act as the primary obser-
vation ship.
She will be equipped with special
aerological apparatus, make hourly
weather observations, including tests
of the upper air to $50 meters, and
will coordinate weather reports
from all ships within radio range.
transmitting them to the Weather
Bureau at Washington.
Four times a day a North Atlantic
forecast for the ZR-3 will be made
and sent out direct to the airship, or
on request. The Washington Weather
Bureau will prepare general sum-
maries on weather, which Annapolis,
MSS, or Arlington, NAA, will trans
init twice daily to the ZR-3. Another
light cruiser assigned to point 25O
miles east of Halifax, N. s., will serve
as a radio-relay ship to insure radio
communication between other ships
and naval stations NSD. Bar Harbor,
Me-; MSS, Annapolis: NAA. Arlington
and MEL, Lakehurst, N. j., the home
port of the ZR-3 and the air cruiser
Shenandoah.
While the naval shore and ship sta
tions have practically unlimited range
the ZR-3 transmitting set is limited
to 1850 miles, or half of her total dis
tance to travel; this insures COM
munication with land in Europe or
the United States at all times, how
ever, regardless of the station ships
which are prepared to relay messages
The German radio transmitter is
described as of 100000 watt capacity,
and is especially designed for airship
operation. Transmission is possible
on a band from $50 to 5000 meters
Her receiving set is capable of copy
ing all American stations as soon as
she takes the air in Germany, and is
said to be extremely selective.

lishment of communications between

Spesial radio channels have been
selected by the Naval radio experts
so as to insure rapid and efficient
communication throughout the cruise,

stations stay off the air, especially

WANTS TO ISOLATE
PNEUMONIA CASES
Fowler, Alarmed at Growing
Fatalities, Believes Dis
ease Is Communicable.

Because of the large number of
deaths occurring annually in Wash
ington from pneumonia. Health Off
Ger Fowler is considering a recon-
mendation that all cases of the dis
ease be reported to the Health De-
partment and that patients be isolat-
ed during the period of the illness.
That he is contemplating such a
regulation was made known by DR..
Fowler in his annual report submit
ted to the Commissioners today.
With LOIS victims, pneumonia was
the most potent cause of death in the
District during the calendar year,
1928, the report shows. All diseases
generally regarded as contagious are
reported to the health office by ply
sicians and rules are in effect pro-
viding for the isolation of the suf-
ferer from other members of the
household. Pneumonia, however, has
not heretofore been clasSed as a re-
portable disease.
The health officer said today he is
satisfied that certain forms of pneu-
monia are communicable.
A total of 7,105 deaths occurred dur
ing 1923, an increase of 500 over the
previous year. This raised the citys
death rate from 1889 to 1893 Dr.
Fowler attributes the higher death rate
to the number of fatal cases of pneu-
monia and la grippe last winter.
Births in 1923 totaled 9,029, but this
was a slight decrease from 1922, and
brought the birth rate down from 20.10
to 10 per 1000 of population. For the
purpose of calculating these rates Dr.
Fowler accepts the Census Bureau esti-
mate of 475.966 as the present popula-
ton Of Washington.
OF the total Of 7,105 deaths, 4,449
were whites and 1855 colored The
white death rate rose from 1183 to
12.37 per 1000 Of population, and
the colored rate went UP from 2O.13
to 22.s2.
Accidental Deaths Less.
"It is interesting to note," said DR..
Fowler, that the number of accidental
deaths was reduced from 361 in 1922
to 283 last year. 1t is believed that
the work Of the Safety Council Of this
District was a factor in keeping down
the number of deaths from accidents" !"
The report shows there also was a
marked increase in the death rate of
This increase" DR.. Fowler says, "can
be accounted for In part by the smaller
number of births reported"
Dr. Fowler urges the Commissioners
to consider earnestly the issuance of AN
order muzzling dogs throughout the
year. cor until such time as the situa-
ton materially improves"
The health officer made this recon-
mendation after stating that last year
| 80 dogs were found to be rabid and
that "a persons were known to have
| been bitten by rabid dogs. These
figures show a marked increase over
the preceding year.
For several years past the Commits
sioners have required the muzzling of
dogs during the three Summer months
only.
