Discussions during the conference de-
yeloped wide divergence of opinion re-
garding the present epidemic. DR.. q.
H. Bigelow, State health commissioner
of Massachusetts, announced that In
his opinion no influenza epidemic exist
ed. DR.. Frank SmithieS of the Chicago
Municipal tuberculosis Hospital and
former president of the American Asso-
citation of Physicians was equally frank
in expressing the opinion that perhaps
only one case out of 1000 reported
during the epidemic is actually case
of influenza"
Alarming Public Deplored.
With no definite knowledge in the
medical world as to the dividing line be-
tween colds and influenza, DR.. Smlthles
said it was almost impossible to dag
nose each case correctly. DR. Bigelow
deplored what he termed alarming the
public" over the present situation, while
backed up the policy of the Public
Health Service in taking the public en-
tirely into its confidence regarding the
widespread prevalence of the disease.
DR.. Parish, health officer of Los Angeles.
in reporting on the first outbreak OF the
epidemic in California, praised the CO.
operation of the press in arousing the
public to the danger of careleSSness in
the face of infection. There is lesson
to be taught in the prevailing epidemic,
he said, and health officers would lose
their usefulness and be lacking in eff
cheney If they failed to take the public
into their confidence.
So far as the mode of transmission Of
the disease Is known, Prof. Edwin O..
Gordon of the University of Chicago,
said there is no reason to believe 1t is
conveyed by water, milk or through the
lower animals. All information, he
pointed out, emphasizes the Importance
of the human being in spreading infiu-

mails show it is difficult to cause infec-

evidence indicating that influenza IS

SOOTHSAYER FINED,
SENTENCED TO JAIL
CoIored Mans medicine" for
"Breaklng spells" Barred
by Maid.

A trial suggestive of the "pow-wow"
case at York, Pa, was heard in the Dis
trict of Columbia branch of Police Court
this morning and resulted in the con-
viction of William l.. George, colored,
%, of the first block of l street north
east, after Judge John P. Mcmahon
had rebuked the defendant, who styles
himself as professor, for posing as a
soothsayer, palmist and crystal gazer,
who imposes on the superstitious peo-
pie around town who are foolish enough
to believe he can cast spells on them
selves and others"
George was convicted for practicing
pharmacy without a right and sem
fenced to 100 days in Jail and fined
5000. in default of which he will have
to serve 100 days more. In imposing
the maximum penalty, Judge Mcmahon
characterized the case as the most ag-
gravating one 1 have ever heard"
Held for Jury Trial, Too.
An additional charge of practicing
medicine without a license was pre-
ferred against the defendant, on which
he was placed under $1,000 bond for
trial by jury.
Georges efforts to cure Teresa
Patton. colored maid of prominent
tives Sanders and Mansfield of the
headquarters narcotic squad in gather
ing evidence, led to his arrest.
The maid first visited George to cure
a sickness which she told him was
brought on by spell cast over her by
another colored maid, who was jealous
of her job. The professor confirmed her
suspicious that the sickness was caused
by her rival "sprinkling down" powder
to make Teresa sick, accorcH to the
testimony.
Pays $50 for Medicine.
She paid $50 for two pink pills and
a bottle of herbs, which the professor
said she must take, otherwise snakes
and frogs would grow inside of her, ac-
coTding to testimony.
When the treatment failed to relieve
the patient she returned and paid $45
more for two bottles of medicine, one
of which was to be poured, nine drops
at time. on her head, after the hair
had been carefully parted in the center.
A printed card on which George
claims to have been born with super
natural powers and to be the worlds
greatest palmist and crystal gazer was
introduced in evidence.

Says:

NEW YORK CITY, see where
Mr.. Coolidge keeps comforting with
MIR. Hoover. Looks like lac might
get in the cabinet himself. Mr..
kellogg wants to get out after his
treaty is signed, so why not let Mr..
Coolidge go Secretary of State and
keep the same old gang? That POST
master General has been a great
booster for aviation. so keep him.
And if he wants Bill Donovan in
there as Attorney General, I hope
there won't be any gathering or
united bunch that will try and tell
Mr.. Hoover not to appoint him. We
have had enough of that for one
year.

Fire Followers
Fined BY Court

II doesn't pay to follow the fire
department to fires whether they are
false alarms or not, three alleged
" followcrs' found out this morn
ing in police court.
The trio, c. McLindcn, Hans Merk-
lcin and d. NJ. Walgrath paid 50
each for the lesson.
Four others who appeared with
similar tickets were dismissed when
Judge Perkins said he believed their
stories. They were w. b. Lamb, d..
f. uaus, c. Stargess and J. High.
The fire department has recently
been handicapped by the interfer-
cncc of ear drivers who persist in
following the department and park
ing in the fire zone, Chief Reams
stated today. The tickets handed
out the other night were the first
for some time, but according to
ReamS similar tags will be given
motorists who violate the law in the
future.
