The Sherman ‘Avenue Site or Some |The Tramp Nuisance Increases—Cases Other—Plans Haye Been Drawn Up. There is every indication that the District will have a contagious @lséfise hospital within a short time. weal It is understood the Commissioners hate received assurances from Congréss that an appropriation will be grarited%at this ses- sion providing for such at? iffstitution. In order to fortify themselves against all contingencies the Commissféners have been engaged for some time past ‘Yn collecting data relative to contagious" hospitals, com- piling estimates as to co¥t ahd drawing plans embodying all the ailvantages of a first-class institution. It! fs “Well known that the District already ownda site for such a building, but is“ prohibited “by act of Congress from using*the'same. ‘This site cost the District $22,500, dnd at pres- ent lies idle. Now, the °Commissioners, realizing the absolute necessity for a con- tagious ‘hospital, and ahxious/to provide Washington with such an institution, have made, it is understood, several ‘propositions to Congress concerning the matter. One is that the site, located on Sherman.avenue, above referred to is to have the restric- tions laid upon it by Congress withdrawn and used for a hospital. Another plan is to purchase another tract of land outright and build the hospital there. 1 ‘Already they have received proposals from a number of land owners, and these have all been scheduled on a large map, so that the committees In Congress can appreciate at a glance their precise loca- tion. Building Inspector Brady, in conference with the health officer, has drawn tentative pians for a hospital, which may be used either upon the ground already purchased or upon a more pretentious site. These plans briefly show a hospital consisting of an administrative building, around which are grouped three hospital buildings, each 40 feet apart, and constructed so that they all look out upon a small park. The three hospital wards are designed after the most modern of their kind, and are to be used for the treatment of scarlet fever and diph- theria. These are to be provided with mod- ern appliances, and it is estimated that such a building can be constructed for about $30,000, INDE TANTS ACCO! SINESS CHA! CHURCH NOTIC!

Goldie Marte Frost, a little girl, who has several times been brought before the courts, was today made the subjéct of a writ of habeas corpus by Robert M. Frost, who claims to be the child’s father. The little girl was born April 28, 1891, Margaret A. Collins, or McKanna, or Frost, as the woman was. variously known, be- ing her miother. The mother became the wife of Frost August 3, 1892, and he was divorced from ‘her the 7th of last March. The woman died the 13th of last month, having previously placed the child in the custody of Elizabeth Fleck and President Wm. L. Bruen of the Bruen Home, so it is alleged. Frost, claiming to be the father of the ‘child, a claim which was, it 1s said, repeat- edly denied by its mother, today avplied to Judge Cole for a writ of habeas corpus. He says that he ts the only person entitled to the custody and control of the child, and as his alleged right has, he says, been denied by Mr. Bruen and Mrs. Fleck, he asked the judge to require them to pro- duce the little.one in court and deliver it to him. Judge Cole issued the writ, or- dering that they produce che little girl in court before him at 2 o’clock next Tues- @ay afternoon. The judge also directed that if the child be not in their custody that they fully divulge her whereabouts. he Bruen Home, says Mr. Frost, is one for fallen women and destitute children.
