Senator William H. King (D0 T.,
of Utah, chairman of Senate Dis
trict Committee, announced that if,
after he has studied the report
more closely, he finds it is unfair
to the District, he will vote for
"a higher Federal contribution TO
the Districts expenses"
He proposed, however, that the
taxes in the District should be
raised to make them comparable
with other cities.
Declaring she deeply regrets"
the so per cent cut in the Federal
contribution. Representative Vir-
ginia E. JenckeS CD of Indiana,
member of the House District Com
mittee, said the SlaShed appropri-
alton will deal a crushing blow to
health institutions in the District.
She said:
SUGGEST NEW TAXES
Last year I appealed to the
subcommittee on appropriations
for the District of Columbia for
liberal consideration for the
health department and public
health institutions in the Dis
trict. At that time, 1 brought
out the fact that in certain hos
pitalS, nurses were handling
more cases than they should,
and that while these nurses
were loyal, it is a definite dis
elimination against women to
compel them to serve cOntinu-
Ously beyond a safe capacity to
serve"
With a $4,000, 900 deficit facing
the District as a result of the fiscal
relations report, several members
of the House advanced proposals
for raising the money by adding
new taxes here.
Representative James M. Mead
CD Of New York recommended a
motor vehicle weight tax and an
income tax to raise revenues, stat
ing:
WANTS INCOME TAX

secutiOn att the hands of Con-
greSs until they have exhausted

IN CONTACION
AND INFECTION
Such Diseases Include A List Of
Fifty Or Sixty Catching
Ailments

Provisional figures issued by DIR.
H. r. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, show an in
crease in the total cases of sickness
in the State from contagious or in
fictitious diseases, in 1886, over the
number reported in 1885. The total
increase was offset by marked de-
crease in typhoid fever, and by re-
auctions in the number of cases OF
tuberculosis, scarlet fever and of 9TH
er diseases reported.
There were 47,264 cases Of "noti-
fable" diseases reported to the State
Department of Health in 1886 In
comparison with 39,487 in 1885; 3d.
Os9 in 1884; 39,7s1 in 1888; 1862
in 1882 and 66,284 in 1881. The
totals in 1886 were divided between
Baltimore City and the Counties as
follows: 29,173, Baltimore City and
1901 in the Counties.
The flare-up in 1886 was due large
Nv to increases in measles, whipping
cough, meningitis and in the venereal
diseases. There were over 1900
cases of measles reported in COMPARE
son with approximately 1890 in 1885;
4,348 cases of whipping cough as COM
pared to 1921 in 1885; and 12,464
cases of venereal diseases in COM
parison with 1885 in 1885. Menin-
gifts increased from 297 cases in 1886
to 476 in 1886; typhoid dropped from
4S3 in 1885 to 269 in 1886; tubercu-
losis from 1908 in 1885 to 2,759 in
1886; scarlet fever from 1893 in 1885
to 2,728 in 1886 and poliomyelitis
(infantile paralysis), from 107 in 1885
to 81 in 1886.
Forty-one cases of undulant fever;
SO of Rocky Mountain spotted fever
and typhus; 20 of tularemia rabbit
fever); % of malaria, and 140 OF

were reported in 1886 in comparison
with 3S of undulant fever; 81 of
Rocky Mountain spotted fever, 80 of
tularemia; A Of malaria and 1859 of
Vincent's angina in 1885.
Over nine tenths of the total sick
ness from communicable diseases re-
ported in Maryland in 1886 was div
ided among three groups of diseases.
The venereal diseases including 9,433
cases of syphilis, were responsible for
rs per cent of the total. The so-called
children's diseases-measles, scarlet
fever, whipping cough, diphtheria
(427) cases, mumps, German measles,
and chicken pox-were charged with
1888 cases, or over so per cent of
the total; and the pneumonia, with
$500 cases reported, tuberculosis,
2,759 and influenza with 1922 cases,
accounted for Is per cent of the total
illness from the catching" diseases
that occurred in 1886. The remain
der was scattered among the rest of
the "notifiable" diseases.

today from the conviction Of Dr.

lied millions to clubs bearing his
name awaited sentence on the YER
dict Of district court jury that he
"wilfully" walked out on the Bel
investigating committee, last May 81.
Townsend said the verdict made
him "a victim of injustice" and was
mot unexpected" but that "the pub
licity Of this trial will accelerate my
movement" Free on $1,000 bond
