Nicely and Mr.. Schwenckton both
loathed her uncleanliness; Nicely
feared her spying upon her; Sammy
hated and resented her; Lizzie was
afraid Of her cold-blooded spite for
the humiliating defeat the child had

was impatient to be rid Of her so that
he could bring home his daughter

And at last, in spite Of unsanitary
conditions, and through the occasional
connfving Of Nicely and the doctor to-

rally and the baby to pick up; and a

from the stuffy bedroom to the less

Susie was almost as strong and bloom

began to get fat.

a young girl in her early teens, with a
pretty, though plebeian face, whose

extent that the older woman, not ac-

the girls challenging curiosity ex-

QUARANTINE PUPILS
TO BAR D|PHTHER|A
Health Officials Find 81 Germ
Carriers in Four Public
Schools.

The District Health Department to-
day removed 81 carriers of diphtheria
germs from four public schools in the
northeast section of Washington and
placed them under quarantine in an
effort to prevent threatened out
break.
Three deaths from diphtheria and
the discovery of Is positive cases
among pupils of the four schools
caused the Health Department to
adopt the drastic measure to preclude
a spread of the disease.
None of the carriers shows any sign
of sickness, but it was pointed out by
DR.. William G.. Fowler, District Health
officer, that they are capable of trans
hitting diphther1a germs and under
the law they are required to be
uuarantined in their homes and the
houses placarded with diphtheria cards.
The four schools in which the dis
ease appears to be confined are the
Blair, on I street between Sixth and
Seventh streets; the Hayes, at Fifth
and K streets: the Webb, on Maryland
avenue near Fourteenth street, and the
Kingsman, at Fourteenth and E streets.
Six positive cases were found among
pupils of the Webb School, among
pupils of the Blair. among pupils of
the Kingsman and among pupils of
the Hayes. The children who died
attended the Blair, Kingsman and Webb
Schools.
The carriers were discovered as a
result of cultures taken by Health De-
partment physicians as result OF an
investigation ordered by Health Officer
Fowler. following the deaths. Twenty
five of the carriers were removed from
the Blair School, 81 from the Hayes.
II from the Kingsman and 4 from the
Webb.
DIR. Fowler said detailed inspection
is being made of conditions in the four
schools and that physicians had been
assigned to watch closely developments
among the 81 carriers taken out OF the
schools. Cultures already have been
taken of all pupils attending the Blair
and Hayes Schools and this procedure
will be followed in the other two schools.

RAISE FIGHT
TO Be RENEWED
Capital Traction Serves No.
tice of Action Unless Pend
ing Merger Pact Is Ratified.

The Capital Traction Co. has formal
ly served notice on the Public Utilities
Commission that its application for a
higher fare will be renewed after adj
journment of the coming session of
Congress unless the pending merger
agreement is ratified, 1t was made
known today.
In letter to the commission, John
H. Hanna, president of the company,
pointed out that while it would not ap-
peal from the order dismissing the
original application for 10-cent fare.
the company insists that it is legally
and equitably" entitled to an increase
and that the rate of fare should be
uniform.
Accepts Dismissal Order.
Hanna's letter is intended as an
acceptance of the commissions dis
missal order. 1t follows:
Your order, No. 729, dated October
"a, 1928, dismissing the application of
this company for an increased fare
without passing upon or determining
any of the issues involved and without
prejudice to this company's right to
renew its application at any time sub
sequent to March 5, 1929, has been re-
ceived.
I'm order that the public of the Dis
trict of Columbia may benefit by the i'm
proved service and greater economy of
operation which would follow a merger
of the transportation agencies of the
city, the Capital Traction Co. is ex-
tremely desirous that the unification
agreement, to which 1t and the Wash
ington Railway e. Electric Co. are par
ties and which has been approved by
you, shall be made effective through
suitable legislation by Congress.
Reserves Right to Try Again.
Sharing the belief, expressed in your
order, that further consideration at this
time of any increase in street car fares
might interfere with favorable action by
Congress on merger legislation, the Cap
1tal Traction Co., reserving its right to
renew after March 5, 1929, its applica-
ton for an increased fare, will accept
the situation created by your order and
take no appeal therefrom.
I'm reaching this decision, the COM
pany in no way alters its position that
1t is legally and equitably entitled to an
increased rate of fare and that the
same rate should apply to the lines of
the washington Railway g. Electric Co.
as on its own''
The commission, in disposing of the
fare case Wednesday, agreed that the
record of testimony taken at the public
hearings on the Capital Traction Co. S
application can be used in connection
with new petition for a fare increase.
