VALUABLE DOC
STOLEN TWICE

Twice this week Petrova, val
liable Siberian samoyed, has been
stolen from her home in the 5000
block P st. N. w.
She is the special pet Of five
month-old Julian Hardy Patten,
jr., and the child misses his play
mate greatly. The first time she
was stolen she found her way
back, but she has now vanished
once more.
Petrova gnawed apart a rope
with which she had been tied and
the loose end of the rope dangled
from her neck when she made
her first escape. A reward is
offered by Mrs. Patten, and no
questions will be asked.

Monkeys Are to Be Used in Effort to Learr
Cause and Cure Of Mysterious MaIady
Which Has Caused II Deaths

Acable disease of the nervous sys-
tenn, it frequently leaves the
victim, if he survives, with con-
siderable after effects, as in in
fantile paralysis.
In order to appreciate the diff
ficulties physicians are encoun-
tering in their war on the dis
ease, Public Health Service Off
cials explained that it is caused
by an ultra microscopic virus
that is, one invisible under the
most powerful magnifying glasses
It can be transmitted and pre-
served by cold, or destroyed by
heat, which proves its existence.
1t falls into the same category
as smallpox, influenza, infantile
paralysis and psittacasis or par
rot fever, all caused by various
forms of viruses.
Insects Blamed
Just how the disease is trans
mitted is another mystery, al
though the theory that insects
are responsible is gaining ground
This opinion is strengthened by
the fact that in the Middle West
epidemic 1913 cases and 13 deaths
occurred in st. Louis county
where insects naturally are more
numerous, while but % cases and
three deaths were recorded in
the city proper. The disease has
taken an aberrent form there, not
typical of other outbreaks in
former years. One Of the results
of DR.. Leake's researches that
has interested local authorities is
his exclusion of water as a car
rier of the virus.
Two deaths from the disease
have been reported outside the
st. Louis area-one in Kansas
City, Kan, and the other in
Warrenburg, Mo. Another case
has been located in Granite City,
Ill.
The disease was first recog'
nized as a clinical entity, or new
malady, in 1917, when the first
case to be classified as en-
cephalitis occurred in Vienna
The first victim on record in
the United States was a New
Yorker, stricken in 1918.
Spokane Is Hit
Since then there has been an
outbreak in Spokane, WASH,
which occurred in 1919, 1920 and
1921, in which 78 cases we're re-
pc led, 19 of them deaths, and
New York in 1923, where a small
epidemic of several months dura-
ton reached it's peak in February
of that year.
In emphasizing the peculiarities
of the present outbreak, health
officials pointed out that all the
others occurred in winter. It has
not Disseminated in the matter
of age. the victims ranging from
3 months of age to several elderly
persons.
In issuing a warning to all
Washingtonians, authorities said
the principal symptoms of the ill
ness are paralysis, fever, coma and
ptosis. or dropping of the eyelids.

county superintendent of schools,
today presented to the Maryland
public works committee at Bal
timore a program for SAC, 900
school construction in the county,
approved and signed by the board
of county commissioner at their
meeting yesterday.
The program is the only public
works project planned for the
county and the only one approved
by the county commissioners ten
tatively when a list of public
works was being drawn up before
the State organization was ef-
fected.
The project was given the ap-
proval Of that committee, headed
by Rep. Stephen w. Gambrill, and
county officials were told to map
out the construction in proper
form for submission to State
heads today.
The plan includes additions to
high schools at Upper Marlboro,
Surrattsville, Laurel, Bowie and
Oxon Hill; to other schools at
Hyattsville, Bradbury Heights,
Laurel; colored schools at Marl-
boro, Annandale, Aquasco, Fair

wood, and new schools at Colmar
Manor. totaling $4,000, and Mary
land Park, for $65,000.
Of the amount, $275,000 will be
loaned on school bonds and 80
per cent of the fund will be a
Federal gift.

CASH IN SKULL
b. IS CAUSE Of
HIS DEATH
Body Of Young Orlando Ross,
Missing Since Sunday,
I Recovered by 2 Boys

Identified as Orlando H. Ross,
1r., 81, of the 1900 block 1 st.
N. w., the body of murdered
youth was taken out of the Po-
tomac River near Marshall Hall,
Md, last night by two boys. A
union card in his pocket, found
clothes, led Charles county officers
to call Orlando H. Ross, secretary
OF the electricians union in
Washington, who, yesterday, had
reported his son missing.
Mr.. Ross will view the body to-
day, although he feels sure it is
his son, who disappeared from an
excursion boat Sunday night. The
body, a deep cash in the skull
and the lungs free of water, was
found by two boys employed by
c. c. Addison, owner of Marshall
Hall. The boys towed the body
ashore and called Deputy Sheriff
j. L. Sprague, of Indian Head.
Little Money on Body
Ross had more than $40 with
him when he bCN.an his excursion
but was found with only $1.26,
two keys and a pint of alleged gin
in his pockets police said.
Although the youth was tat
tooed over his entire body and
had the initials &C. F." on his
chest, he had never been in the
Navy, the father said, which ex-
planned the two dead alleys" that
Maryland, Charles county, and
District police had followed in an
effort to identify the body before
the union card was found.
Death Laid To Blow
A coroner's jury, summoned by
the deputy sheriff, decided that
the youth died from a blow ad-
ministered by person or persons
unknown"
When the boy was found to be
missing from the boat, a friend,
Carl J. Horstkamp, 450O block
Conduit Rd. N. w., returned to
Marshall Hall by automobile to
search for the lad, his father
said. The father, mother and a
brother survive.

Mlady;s Hat
Fashions

One would think that Uncle
Sam, with his battered silk top
per and flowing tail coat, cares
little about feminine fashions.
But such, Internal Revenue
Department officials declare, is
far from the truth. In fact,
Uncle Sam keeps a keen watch
on the headgear milady buys
in America when the milliner
assures her it is an authentic
copy from Paris"
These alluring words must be
really true local milliners as
sert, because Uncle Sam makes
sure the hat is actually a re-
production of the original in
the possession of the manufac-
turer.
Frequently a smartly-goWned
woman who buys a hat is an
agent of the Revenue Depart
ment, and woe betide the sales
man who h a misrepresented
the facts.

ENGINEER HELD
ON MORALITY
CHARGES
Arthur Shank Arrested With
Two 13-Year-0Id Girls;
Hearing Delayed

Seized on a statutory charge
involving two 13-year-old negro
girls, Arthur H. Shank, 70, who
claims he is an engineer en-
ployed by the Government, today
was held for further hearing Fri
day in the Arlington (Va) Court
house. Shank was arrested with
the girls in a woods at Colonial
Heights, Rosslyn, half a mile
from the District line.
Shank, who gave an address
in the 1900 block Davenport st.,
Georgetown, made no statement
on appearing before Judge B. M.
Hedrick, and the case was con-
tinued on motion of his attorney.
Shank was arrested by Patrol
men Vernon Wilt and Norman
Carson, who started search
some time after the receipt of
complaints from residents of the
section. A 80 caliber pistol was
in his pocket, the policemen said.

Upon a shipment OF "a monkeys
to st. Louis may hang the fate of
more than 100 persons stricken
with lethargic encephalitis, COM
monty known as sleeping sickness,
which has ravaged both that city
and st. Louis county in the
worlds worst outbreak of the dis
ease.
The monkeys have been sent by
tie Public Health Service in
Washington for experimental
purposes in the hope that the
method of the malady's spread
may be uncovered.
DR.. James P. Leake, one of the
services foremost epidemiologists,
has been in st. Louis since AL
gust IA assisting local health Of
ficials and physicians in their war
on the virulent disease. He has
since been joined by DR.. Charles
Armstrong and DR.. L. L. Williams,
jr., also of the service here.
Few Cases Here
The District of Columbia has
experienced few cases of encepha-
litis. In 1880 there were five
cases and two deaths; in 1881,
four cases and two deaths; in
1882, nine cases of which all died,
and from January to July, inclu-
sive, 1888, one case. There have
been 369 cases throughout the
United States up to and including
June this year.
Medical authorities are ham
pered in their frantic attempts
to put a halt to the epidemic
by the battling nature Of the
malady, about which practically
nothing is known. Noting the
similarity of it's symptoms to
infantile paralysis, Washington
officials pointed out that it must
not be confused with the African
type of sleeping sickness, which
is caused by parasites carried
by the tsetse fly. A communi-

in fact, would have greatly him
dered the effort of other countries
to raise prices by monetary action.
Though it is quite true that the
declaration would not have pre-
vented the United States from TAX
ing any course it chooses, the dec
laration almost certainly would have
acted as a moral inhibition upon
Britain'S taking a course parallel
with our own.
That is what the gold countries
desired. That is why they wanted
the declaration. That is why they
have threatened to leave the con-
ference if the declaration is not
made.
VXTHAT persuaded Americans in
w London to agree to the
declaration was, first, a desire to
escape the responsibility for break
ing up the conference; second, to
escape the responsibility for push
ing other countries off gold; third,
to prove to cynical world that the
United States not only has the will
to initiate, but the will to control
the initiation.
This latter consideration is of
specific Importance. There is no
doubt that the example of America
has deeply impressed the delegates
at this conference. But at the same
time there is widespread convic-
ton that in our recovery specula-
tion plays too large a part, and the
reality Of our statistics is, therefore.
widely distrusted.
But for this distrust our example
would be irrestibly contagious, and
until this distrust is removed we
shall not persuade this British gov
eminent to take a course like our
own.
Yet, unless the British decide to
go IN our direction, the conference
is from our point of view a failure.
and we shall be compelled to pro-
ceed by ourselves without the sup
port of concurrent action in other
countries.
We can, 1 suppose, succeed alone.
But the experiment is more diff
cult and more hazardous than if
our price level rises with the
world price level. That is why it is
deply desirable that we should find
ways Of persuading the British. who
are tempted but hesitant, that our
course is not only Immediately sue
cesSful, but in the long run sound
and under firm control. For they
agree that we can initiate.
NIHAT they need to be shown is
w that We really have the will
to control imitation.
To do that the administration
must, in the near future, take some
action which proves that it is not
infected, even unconsciouSly, by a
speculative fever. Any action which
demonstrates that the ticker is not
determining our policy will do.
The conservative view will DOM
mate British policy and, while the
British will not break away openly
from us, they will not openly join us.

Total FiVe-Grain Crop Is
Smallest Reported
Since 1903.

United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 3.-Heavy profit
taking selling failed to do more than
check the sharp rise in grains on
the Board Of Trade today and all
cereals closed the short session with
good gains after having set new
highs for the year early. All de-
liveries Of wheat went above the dol
lar mark except July, rising 3 cents
and more at one time.
Corn reports were even more ssa-
sationally bulliSh than anticipated
but had been largely discounted.
The total crop for the five grains
was the smallest since 1908 Prices
continued to fiuctuate rapidly in all
pits in a heavy trade but remained
a cent or more above the previous
close generally.
Close Is Higher
AT the close wheat was 37s to 42s
cents higher, corn 2ls TO 2i2 cents
higher. oats is to is cents high

barley to 334 cents higher. Pro-
visions advanced sharply.

Oats was estimated at 749,000

In its literal terms the rejected declaration did not

But the force of the document did not reside in
