HORSE FACES DEATH

Fenton M. Fadeley'S remarkable
blue.ribbon winner, Lacquer Lady,
may have to be destroyed, it was
thought today as veterinarians
studied the mares condition fol
lowing her injury last night IN
the Fort Myer Riding Hall where
she was performing in one of Fort
Myers monthly horse shows.
While showing in the pairs of
hunters class, Lacquer Lady, paired
with Charles Carrico's Recall,
went down badly in attempting
to take a stonewall jump. Fadely,
in the saddle at the time of the
accident, was uninjured.
About 1,500 witnessed last nights

Pneumonia Cases
Increasing in D. c.

Pneumonia cases since the first
of the year in the District are
believed to have increased. with
so deaths being recorded due to
this illness.
Although the figures in the
District health office records
show only 128 cases of pneumonia
since January /, officials at the
department pointed out that
many of the cases of influenza
reported had later developed into
pneumonia. In health statistics,
however. influenza takes prece-
dence over pneumonia in COM
piling reports. it was explained.
Although District regulations
require that all pneumonia cases
be reported. health officers
pointed out that numerous cases
had not as yet been recorded.
Increases which would normally
follow such weather as expert
enced here during the Inaugural
ton due to colds contracted by
the severe eI bosure, the officials
said, have not yet been reported.

RULE
REPEAL, AIM
OF CELLER

Determined to bring the great
est pressure to bear for favorable
action at this session of Congress,
Representative Emanuel Celler
CD of New York today had
placed before the House Civil SerV-
ice Committee his bill for repeal
of the married persons" clause
Of the economy act.
The measure has the personal
endorsement of Representative
Robert Ramspeck Cd of Georgia,
chairman of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee, and it is probable
that the bill will be brought before
that group for early action.
A majority Of the committee IA
vors repeating the remnant Of the
economy act, but the trouble in
previous attempts at getting the
provision repealed has come in
the House. There a group, led by
Representative John j. Cochran
Cd of Missouri, is bitterly op-
posed to eraSing the clause from
the statute books.
Cochran. q member of the origl-
nal economy committee which put
the law in effect and now a mem
Der of the special House committee
on reorganization, has considerable
personal support in the House, but
whether he can again muster
enough strength to fight the repeal
advocates this year is questionable.
Ramspeck told the House last
wear that the married persons y
clause had failed to accomplish
the purpose for which it was in
tended-to spread Government
jobs into more householdS-but, in
stead. had brought about suffering
in the lower brackets while those
in the upper brackets have scarcely
been affected.
Those in the upper brackets, he
emphasized, have influence enough
so that both the husband and wife
can keep their jobs, while those in
the class between $1,000 and $4,000
do not have such influence.

few cases reported, ranging as
high as "a cases, but these re-
ports do not represent the out
break in any one day, but an
accumulation of cases that are
not reported daily.
Most of these reports indi-
cate that the cases are of very
mild form of grippe, which are
termed as influenza, although
they have not reached that stage.
Total cases reported since the
first of the year in the District
now number 2O9. with about 13O
of these now being under treat
ment. and 13 deaths recorded
due to this disease. Most of the
cases reported are men between
the ages of "a and 35 years"
DR.. Robert OleSen, an assistant
to the United States Surgeon Gen
eral, said that, although the dis.
ease has shown a steady increase
throughout the country in the past
few weeks, the condition had not
reached an alarming stage and
was in no way to be compared with
the epidemic of 1918.
Moderate Spread
Present conditions, DR.. OleSen
added, should be termed as being
between a Slight and moderate"
spread of the disease.
Although the disease has shown
a marked increase throughout the
country in the past few weeks, Dr.
OleSen pointed out, the cities orig.
inally listed as being those worst
attacked are now reporting a
steady decrease in the number of
cases and the fever is spreading to
new localities.
The infection itself, it was ex
planned, is usually an attack sim
liar to a severe cold in the intes-
tines. throat or lungs, and, unless
carefully treated, will lower the
body resistance to an attack of
pneumonia. Distinction of the
difference between a cold and the
flu can be recognized by the fact
that the latter completely weakens
the entire system to a much
greater extent than a severe cold
A widespread condition does eX.
iSt, however, and has shown a
steady increase during the past
few weeks, it was explained, and
will continue to increase unless
precautionary measures are taken.
Increase Reported
Cases reported to the United
States Health Department since
the first of the year have in
creased from a total of 1898 for
the week ending January 2. to
23,258 for the week ending Jan,
uary Is, while those reported for
January 9 totaled 12,145.
The potential danger Of the
disease, DR.. Olesen explained, is

port that his successor, Pope Plus
XI, had died.
The Vatican was SWamped by
telephone calls from anxious Cath

and by car to ST. Peters Square.
After suffering a night of agony,
the Pope, following mass, finally

Only Two Hours Sleep
He was able to sleep only two

DR.. Milani prevailed upon him,
in spite of the Pope'S inSistence,
to remain in bed again today. The
doctor, constantly in attendance,
feared the strain of removal to his
new bedchair would further dis

Pope's paralyzed legs. He said:

NEW YORK, January 14.-Motors,

surged forward l to around points
in today's stock market, but many
other issues backed away from the
rally.
There was an assortment of new re-
covery peaks established on the move,
which was initiated by renewed hopes
the conference between General Mo-
tors officials and union representatives
would bring a quick settlement OF the
strike.
Extremely fast trading furries
punctuated the session, but there were
slow intervals Transfers approx
mated 100000 shares.
Coppers had a brief lively moment
when one producer boosted the do
mestic price of the red metal Il cent
to 13 cents pound, the best level
since 1890. Other copper interests
were bit hesitant to follow as foreign
output restrictions we're temporarily
abandoned.
Agriculture machinery issues enjoyed
one of their occasional sharp upward
swings, which brokers attributed part
ly to a thin" market for this depart
ment, although business prospects were
said to be bright for the manufactur-
ers
Stocks selling under $50 a share
were the most active of the day, with
utilities prominent. The latter, though,
were inclined to slip fractionally. In
ternational Paper &, Power issues were
an exception, posting substantial adj
vsnces. Sugars were in supply and the
merchandising division pointed lower.
