get into this DRESS" complained one
puzzled little girl.
But not all the children Of the hol-
lows were in the Summer school. A
mountaineer appealed TO the Washing
ton phiIanthropist to help his children
and the kind-hearted gentleman Ell
dured a hard ride over the mountain
trails to visit the cabin. It was far
cleaner house than most. and the corn
patch was fenced in. But on the floor,
almost naked, was gibbering idiot,
about years old. In the crib was a
child OF 3 with shriveled legs who
never has walked or spoken.
A Grateful" Parent.
The Washingtonian agreed to send q
doctor to examine the children and to
pay all the expenses for hospital treat
ment If it was decided anything could
be done for them. The father and
mother-the latter afflicted with some
nervous disorder-were properly CRATE
full, but the father collected his dollar
for his services as q guide to his own
house.
I'm sick" Is the almost constant
plant of the natives-men, women and
children. There appears to be wide
spread lack of nervous energy, perhaps
due to the body worms which infest the
soil. Probably few really are able to
do much work, they have sat and
waited SO long In their stuffy cabins.
They have very little native medical
lore. Chewing tobacco and white mule
are the principle remedies-and liquor
does not appear to be plentiful. because
there is little to make 1t from. There
is no great amount Of drunkenness.
White mule is the traditional remedy
for rattlesnake bites. I nSpite OF 1t,
these are sometimes fatal, the minister
says. He himself remembers case
where a man 80 years old was bitten
OH the face by one of these reptiles.
Because OF his great age and feeble
ness his friends realized that strenu-
Gus measures were necessary. They
made him drink three quarts Of white
mule at once. But so virulent was the
poison that, in spite of all their efforts.
the old man sank into coma and died
Despite the sparse provisioning, con-
ditionS in the hollows never approach
actual famine. This is partly due to
the thinly scattered population with
only three or four cabins in each hol-
low. And in some, of course. conditions
are much better than in others. There
is the whole mountainside to live on.

SAN Juan INQUIRY
RE-OPENS TUESDAY
II
Total Number of Passengers
on Inflated Steamer May
Never Be Known.

SAN FRANCISCO, September a.
Two questions presented by the ram
ming of the passenger liner San Juan
Thursday midnight by the oil tanker
sc. T. Dodd awaited official answers
yesterday while the inquiry into the
ediSaster which took at least IL lives
was in recess over the week end until
Tuesday.
The first was, How many people were
aboard the San Juan when she left San
Francisco Thursday evening for Los
Angeles?
The second, Why did officers of the
San Juan misunderstood signals said
to have been given by the tanker and
try to cross the Dodds course?
May Never BE Answered.
The first question may never be
answered definitely. The number OF
men. women and children rescued was
AZ. Early announcements said the YES
sci had carried crew of As and IS
passengers. Later it was announced
that number OF persons had pur-
chased tickets aboard the ship just be-
fore she sailed and that the local office
Of the Los Angeles and San Francisco
Navigation Co. had no record of their
names. The company, however, hXed
the number aboard at 1l3 or more.
Testimony thus far before the United
States Board of Supervising Inspections
has indicated that had the vessels
maintained the courses being followed
when the lights of the San Juan FIRST
were sighted from the bridge OF the
Dodd the accident would not have oc-
Cured.
Capt. II. C. Bleumchen of the Dodd
in testifying, blamed the collision on
failure Of the San Juan's officers to I'M
derstand his signals.
His testimony was corroborated by
the other officers of the tanker. al
though there was some doubt Wnetner
the San Juan's fog horn had been dow
ing or whether there were any whistle
signals from the passenger ship except
those In direct response to those from
the Dodd.
Goes Down In Five Minutes.
The Dodd struck the San Juan
annidships and the liner sank within
I'VE minutes. The tanker was not seri-
o,lsly damaged, although 1t was stated
after survey that replacement OF her
punctured and ripped bow plates would
cost several thousand dollars, She came
into San Francisco Bay under her own
The Los Angeles & San Francisco
Navigation Co. has brought libel suits
totaling 100000 against the Standard
Oil Co. because Of the sinking OF the
formers ship.
Under instructions from Washington
supervising inspectors here are to fix
responsibility for the crash, but 1t was
announced that every phase of the ac-
cident will be investigated before the
board reaches such conclusion.
Five Coast Guard cutters patrolled
the waters off the coast of Santa Cruz
County. south of here, today in a search
for bodies.
The cutters swept over the scene In
endless circles. The Tahoe, flagship OF
the feet, sighted two bodies late yes
terday. The cutter wirelessed that be-
fore q boat could be lowered the bodies
were lost again in the fog. Mariners
familiar with the coast and current
declared that it may be week or more
before wreckage or bodies are washed
ashore.

provement. There Is soap and a wash
basin at the schoolhouses and faces
and heads have been scrubbed. The
heads of those attending the school are
nov fai-,y free of lice.
The sunshine and fresh air OF the
mountains probably are an offset to
some of the living conditions, says DR..
Gelman. The children go barefoot
Summer and Winter. The skin on the
soies of the feet is thick SO that boys
:nd girls are little affected by the sharp
stones on the roads or by snow. The
result is that the foot muscle are uni
formly strong, with perfect arches.
Nearly all are croSs-eyed, due to
heredity. Most have yellow hair and
black or dark-brown eyes. The genera
lions of inbreeding probably have
weakened the bodies, although most OF
the physical defects can be traced to
diet and insanitary conditions. They
are such as cannot be remedied over
night, DIR. Gelman says.
On Starvation Fare.
Almost complete lack of milk. eggs
and meat in the diet is largely respon-
sible for the acknowledgment. The
traditional salt pork Of the Southern
mountaineers is lacking among these
people. A baby Is nursed by its mother
until there is another addition to the
family or until the first set Of teeth Is

are so thin and anemic that 1t Is OBJ

fare.
Some of the little girls deny that they
chew tobacco. The school teacher has
told them that the habit isn't approved.
But the physician found tell-tale rings
of tobacco juice around the mouths OF
nearly all. A cud dulls hunger.
Whether the habit is harmful in any
great degree is not known with any
certainty.

IN BOWLES' DEATH
Manslaughter Charge Dis
missed When Dying State
ment Is Denied.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


UPPER MARLBORO, Md. April IT.
Inability of the prosecution to secure
admission of the dying declaration of
Lawrence Webster Bowles, 19-year-old
Chillum farmer, who was fatally injured
when his automobile truck was forced
off a bridge on the Rams Horn Inn
road last November, caused Circuit
Court Judge Joseph C. Mattingly to-
day to dismiss charge of manslaughter
against David A. Rosenfeld, Maryland
University student.
Rosenfeld was accused of being the
driver of the automobile which forced
Bowles' truck off the bridge Bowles
was submerged beneath the waters of
the Eastern Branch of the Anacostia
River about 20 minutes. He was dis
covered by milk truck driver, who
succeeded in pulling him out with the
aid of group of university students.
The farmer was revived by the Prince
Georges County rescue squad and re-
moved to Sibley Hospital. but died a
few hours after. The manslaughter
charge against Rosenfeld was based on
declaration Bowles was sad to have
made while in the hospital.
Rosenfeld took trial by this court when
the case was called this morning. His
attorneys commended 1t vas necessary
to prove the mental attitude of the
dying man before his statements could
be admitted as evidence, and when
Judge Mattingly uphed their conten-
ton. the prosecution was unable to go
on with the case.
