LARGE CROWD ATTENDS PUBLIC
 AFFAIR, SCHOOL
WOMAN'S CLUB MEMBERS HOSTESESS AT DELIGHT
 FIJI RECEPTION
By Mrs. J. c. Green)

At a reception given last evening by the Seward Womens club in the new school auditorium, the citizens of Seward had an opportunity to view the completion of a dream realized AS one walked through the broad halls, glanced in the large, airy rooms, and noted the fine finish of all one could truly say with pride, We have one of the finest school houses in all the country, in which our children may be educated and fitted for future life"
 A large crowd turned out for the reception, the seating capacity of the assembly room, where the pro- gram was rendered, being over taxed. The number of citizens that turned out for this event, shows the great interest in things educational which prevails in Seward.
 The faculty of the William H. Seward school, and the Territorial school, who were guests of honor. were given seats in the front of the room, including Mrs. Anderson, Miss Hill, Miss Faust, Miss Kaem- nler, Miss Wheeler, Miss Dawson, Miss Sears, MT. Kuhler and MT. Roaney.
 Mrs. Ralph Reed, president of the Women's Club, opened the program bg a speech of welcome to the fac ulty, in which she invited the mem bers of the faculty to call on the club members at any time, for any service which the club can render, and which she assured them would be forthcoming.
 After Mrs. Reeds speech, Mrs Croth tok charge of the program. She with little Miss Charlotte Law renee, rendered lovely piano duet, which was warmly received by the audience. Following this, Miss Lois lessen, on the violin and Mrs. Groth at the piano rendered a spirited composition.
 Mayor McMullen was then called or to make a speech. and in talk ing to the assemblage, MT. McMul-- len gave the history of the school; how it had been fought for; how loyal the citizens had worked to in- sure it's building and completion and how proud the city of Seward IS of the splendid structure. Tn closing he extended a welcome to the faculty members, and assured them that it was his hope, and the nope of all Seward, that they would be happy and contented and would ao their best to install the good qualities necessary to making a success of life, into the young citi- zenS-to-be.
 Following Mayor McMullen, MT. Ray gave a spirited talk, in which he painted, in glowing colors, the time when the "navies of the world as well as the merchant marine of the world, would lie at anchor in Resurrection Bay. He thrilled the asSemblage with the thought of the glorious future that Seward must have.
 Following MT, Ray, Judge Nor f1rd spoke, extending welcome tO ' the faculty and urging them to in still the qualities of good citizen ship as well as the academic studies into the hearts of the school child ren.

opinions either upon lack OF informa-

We hear much said about the desir-
ability of having Washington as model
city. OF course, we all concur in this
ambition. But no city can ever be
model city in which its citizenship is
denied the fundamental principle OF
representative government. To talk
about a citizenship of nearly 100000
constituting a model city when no one
of the 100000 has anything to say about
the laws which govern them is absurd
on its face. Why is there any more rea-
son for a citizen here to be d1sfran-
chised than in any other city or State
in the Union? This question will never
be settled until the citizens OF the Dis
trict of Columbia are given representa-
ton.

IN ROCKVILLE HUNT
a. Thoroughbred Hounds
and 2 Speedy Foxes Lead
Riders Merry Chase.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, August 12.-Forty-
four Of the county's finest hounds and
two big red foxes that knew how to
run furnished sport near Ednor Satur-
day night that delighted members Of
the Montgomery County FoxhunterS'
Association ana their friends to the
number of 300 or more, fully one-fourth

planned the purposes of the association

Chase Furnishes Excitement.
Although running conditions were not
of the best, both chases were close and
exciting throughout, and the foxes
finally decided discretion to be the bet
ter part of valor and sought refuge in
their dens.
The first chase started at S:45, or
within eight minutes after the hounds
were released, and exactly 90 minutes
later a "run-in". was announced.
1t required only few minutes for
the hounds to strike another scent, ana
a second test of speed and endurance
was on. Reynard No. made a fine
run and led the big pack Of noisy
hounds a merry chase, but about an
hour of 1T was all he was willing to
stand, and he, too, disappeared in his
den.
Next Weeks Hunt Announced.
Many of the spectators brought
lunches and while the chases were on
gathered in little punches and partook
Of refreshments as they listened to the
hounds.
It was announced that the hunt next
Saturday night will be at the farm of
Joseph Harris, near Potomac, and that
the huntsmen will leave Rockville
around half-past 2 o'clock.

3 CLARENDON, Va, August 12.-After
have been critically i'll for more than
two weeks with typhoid fever, Mrs.
Ethel Miller residing here, died early
Yesterday morning in Georgetown Hos
pital, Washington, the second fatality
resulting from the WomenS Christian
Temperance Union luncheon here
july 6.
Mrs. William C. Weaver, mother of
the dead woman, Is the most seriously
i'll of the three others now confined
to bed at their homes here.
Mrs. Miller'S death follows by 10 days
that of Mrs. Martha SaSher, another
of the IL women who contracted the
disease There were about Is women
who attended the luncheon and all of
the typhoid cases in the county are
confined to women who attended the
affair.
- =. Source Still Unknown.
THAT there is little likelihood Of ever
tracing the source Of the outbreak, was
indicated by DR.. P. M. Chichester,
Arlington County health officer. He eX-
planned that the typhoid germ must be
swallowed either in food or drink. The
water and milk supplies have been
tested and found to be pure and there
was naturally no food left to examine
because Of the long lapse of time be-
tween the luncheon and the contraction
of the disease.
A rumor to the effect that the germ
had been contained in some coleslaw,
the only unlocked food served at the
luncheon. is groundless in so far as the
investigation has disclosed at present.
The cabbage from which the slaw was
made has been traced only to George
town store.
1T is possible. DR.. Chichester believes,
that the germ could have been trans
ferred to some of the food by human
carrier, a person who, unknowlingly,
acts as a bearer for this germ. This
theory Is also difficult to develop into
fact. If the disease was transmitted
in this manner the carrier must have
helped to prepare or handled some OF
the food that was served at the
luncheon. It is understood that many
persons participated in the preparation
OF the food.
While the disease has been confined
TO the luncheon guests, DR.. Chichester
today reiterated his warning to all per-
sons to take the typhoid vaccine. There
have been about 100 persons who have
taken the vaccine and others may do
50 by appearing at the Health Depart
iiient at the courthouse.
