RACE FOR DISTRICT
HEADS WIDE OPEN
Successors to ReicheIderfer
and Crosby May Be
Named Next Week.

The race for the two District COM
missionerships still Is wide open, &C
cording to administration sources, but
there is a possibility that the successors
to DR.. Luther H. Reichslderfer and Gen.
Herbert B. Crosby will be named next
week.
At least seven men are reported in
the running, but 1t is known that the
selection Is not confined to these.
Among those candidates said to be
under consideration are Melvin Hazen,
Martin Mcnamara, Harry King, John
A. Norman, Joseph ]. Cotter, Ernest G.
Walker and Malcolm S. McConihe.
A published report that Postmaster
General Farley had submitted a list of
five prospects" to the White House Is
said reliably to be without foundation.
While in some quarters it has been
advocated that a woman be named to
one of the commissionerships, it is un-
derstood to have been determined def
nitely that none will be considered for
these places.
After the Commissioners are named,
it is expected that attention will be
turned to the selection of q United
States attorney. .... ....-

D. c. HEADS TO RULE
ONDENY|NCCAN
HOSPITAL LICENSE
Fowler to Submit Report
of Investigation of
Sanitarium.
NO RECENT PATIENTS,
INSPECTOR IS TOLD
Incomplete Equipment Found.
Doctors Held in Death Re-
leased on Bond.

Health Oficer william c. Fowler de-
cided today to ask the District Com
missioners to rule on the question Of
whether the private hospital license
held by the Washington Cancer Sani-
tarium, in the 1400 block Of G.rard
street northeast, should be revoked. as
requested by States Attorney O'Con-
nor of Baltimore.
Later today or tomorrow morning,
the health officer said he will submit
report on the matter to the Com
missioners. containing his recommended
ton as to what action should be taken
on the license. He said today he had
not finally decided what his recon-
mendations would be.
No Hospital Equipment.
Decision to place the matter before
the city heads was reached at noon,
after DR.. Fowler had received report
of an inspection of the institution this
morning which revealed that the place
does not have any hospital equipment.
DR.. Fowler yesterday ordered a special
inspection of the institution as the re-
suit of manslaughter charges brought
by Maryland authorities against DR.. H.
r. Street and DR.. Sherwood Ferris,
physicians afflliated with the hospital,
following the death of woman patient,
treated for cancer.
The Health Department inspector
who visited the institution this morn
ing reported he had interviewed both
DR.. Street and Mrs Ida NJ Brown, said
20 be owner of the property. They
both said, DR.. Fowler was informed,
that the hospital had not had any
patients during the past three years.
DR.. Fowler said this raised the ques-
ton of whether the license of the in
stitution should be continued in force,
since reports are that the place has no
hospital equipment and has had no pa
tients for three years.
Complaints Lodged.
The institution first obtained a pri-
vate hospital license in November, 1913.
Complaints and questions about the
operation of the institution several
times have been lodged with the Dis
trict health officer.
Each time an inspection Of the place
was made, but failed to disclose any
reason for revocation of the license, DR..
Fowler said Drs. Street and Ferris
were released on bonds Of S1,500 each
when they appeared yesterday before
Rockville authorities. They will be ar
raigned in Police Court at Rockville
on May "a.

MEETING
ON RENTS CALLED
District Group of U. S. Work.
ers to Convene Wednesday
at Central High.

A second mass meeting in protest OF
what it describes as high rents here
will be staged by the District Depart
ment, American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, in the Central High

sentatives, while speakers on the side

organization took place in the Mckinley
High School auditorium more than a

per of Kansas and Representative Vir-
ginia Jenckes of Indiana as the princi-
pal speakers.
While this move was followed by re-
ductions in rent by number Of apart
ment house owners, the federation
states, Government workers feel that
the reductions were not adequate and
that the number of house and apart
ment owners who responded to their
protests is not sufficient.

ing, in making its announcement today,
placed special emphasis on the Gov
ernment salary cuts and the threats
of personnel reduction in the Govern
ment service.

presented by DR.. C. p. Oberndorf Of
New York. One is the idealized father
and the other the idealized mother. If
there is a difference of feeling toward
the two parents, such as love Of the one
and hate of the other, he said, such
weird condition as Representation"
may result in which the mind seems to
split in two and person hears him
self talking to himself. Part Of the
mind seems to be outside of the body
and there is an Overwhelming sense of
the unreality of the outside world and
of ones own self.
