To offset partly the loss of the $240 ‘bopus formerly given these employes, the wage board of the District re- ‘vised the pay scale upward, with the result that the workers will fall short only 7% per cent of receiving what they made under the bonus plan. The Commissioners approved the new scale with the proviso that, prior to December 31, next, the wage ard should review it and recom- mend to the Comrissioners whether any changes are desirable. ‘The e is as follows: Laborers, ki by. the Commissioners Laborers, unskilled .

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., July 2— The redirect examination of James A. Stillman in the hearings which ad- journed yesterday was described as leaving the inference that he would have been willing for Mrs. Stillman to start their divorce battle instead of himself, if it had been possible in that way to try out the legitimacy of her infant son, Guy Stillman. One question sought to learn wheth- er the banker, before instituting his suit, had expressed willingness to Mrs. Stillman's attorneys for' her to start proceedings for a divorce, if she wanted one. Another inquired if he had not later been told that, as a de- fendant in a divorce action, he could not test Guy Stillman's paternity. Then it was asked if he not brought the action against his wife and her child as a result of thjs in- formation. None of these questions was answered, the referee upholding objection by defense counsel. Cross-examination of Mr. Stillman drew the admittance that he made mittee will have before it for con- sideration at its next meeting the nomination of Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia to be recorder of deeds in the District. The nomination may be referred to a subcommittee. —_— CYMES TO NAVY DEPARTMENT Commander Edward C.

MeeY TOM GIBBOAT WHO PAckS, A HEFTY kick (N ETHER ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 2.—Dur- ing the month of June there were eighteen cases of typhpid fever re- ported to Dr. L. E. Foulks of the city health department, according to a re- port just made by the city health offi- cer. ~This makes a grand total of twenty-two casesrepgrted to this de- partment since January 1, 1921. Last year during the same period a total of twenty-three cases were reported. From January to July of last year | there were three deaths from typhoid 1 1 fever. For the same period this year two deaths have been reported. ' Dr. Foulks says that a careful investiga. tion of the elghteen cases shows that one case was imported and eight were probably outside infections. Attentlon also is directed by the health officer to the fact that many young men and boys persist in swim- ming in the river, which, he declares, is simply an open sewer. He also di- rects attention to the fact that many insist upon drinking water from the various outside springs, despite the fact that he has frequently issued public warnings that all such springs are “polluted.” He points out that many people even go to these springs and bring water home for drinking purposes. _ There are, he says, more flies than usual, on account of the warm winter, and more flies, he says, means more typhoid, even under nor- mal conditions. One thing, says the health officer, is certain, and that is that the cases of typhold last month were not caused by either water or milk served in this city. There is absolutely nothing to point to eny ane thing as the cause, he says. Rev. Robert B. Nelson, an alumnus of the Episcopal Theological Seminary of Virginia, now residing with his brother, Rev. Dr. R. K. Nelson, at the Episcopal Theological Seminary, has accepted a call to the rectorship of Christ Episcopal Church, Winchester, Va. He will assume his duties gt th: church August 1. Rev.

July 2 (Special). —Belleving they have an excellent chance of carrying the county next fall, when the offices of state senator, members of the house of delegates, sheriff, county treasurer, county com- missioners and county surveyor will be filled, Montgomery county repub- licans are bestiring themselves much earlier than usual and there are in- dications that they mean business all along the line. To begin systematic preparations to care for party interests, a meeting of the state central committee for the” county will be held here next Tuesday afternoon, the call for such a meeting having been sent out to- day by Paul Sleman, chairman of the committee. It is understood that one of the principal matters the meeting will consider will be the holding of county convention or conference for the selection of candidates for all the offices to be filled. It seems to be the desire of many members of the party that a ticket be placed in the fleld at the earliest possible date and that the campaign work be in- aygurated as early as possible. The republicans of the county are said to realize that several hundred republican women who were entitled to register last year failed to have their names enrolled, and the party managers are understood to be deter- mined that a special effort be made to get these names on the books, as well as all others eligible to register this year. . The matter of candidates has al- ready been given serious considera- tion by the party leaders, and the feeling seems to be unapimous™ that only men of the highest type be se- lected for the various nominations. ‘Among those who are being talked of for the different nominations are Paul Sleman, Willis B. Burdette, Thomas 1. Fulks, Alfred C. Warthen, Charles F. Kirk, Charles T. Johnson, James M. Mount, Windsor W. Hodges, Willlam E. Brown, Frank L. Hewitt, T. Cranmer Griffith, Wilson L. Townsend, C. W.

HYATTSVILLE, Mé&., July 2 (Spe- clal).—Hyattsville is looking forward to one of the biggest building booms in its history, the beginning of which is already manifest, as the result of lowering costs of labor and material and assurance of reduced freight rates. A building of concrete block is now being completed by former Mayor ‘WilliangP. Magruder on the east side of Maryland avenue. wi cupied by an automebile accessories store and perhaps a drug &tore. By fall Mr. Magruder plans to tear down all_buildings fronting on Maryland and Johnson avenues as far as the post_office on Maryland avenue and the Prince Georges Bank on Johnson avenue, and to replace them with one big modern brick building. This building will be of two stories The first will be given over to stores, etc., and the second to offices. The Prince Georges Bank, now situated several doors up Johnson avenue from the corner of Johnson and Maryland ave- nues, will occupy that corner. A. E. Burgess' newspaper and cigar store, now on the corner, will be located next to the bank on Johnson avenue. Just how the other space in_phe building will be utilized has not been determined. ‘A total of $30,800 has been added to the town's taxable basis as the resuit of the annual assessment of new and improved property in Hyattsville, it is announced. The tax rate for 1921- 1922 has been fixed by'the mayor and town council at 60 cents on each $100, the same rate as last year. At the last regular session of the council Dr. Robert B. Johnstone, town health officer, stated the town had no garbage-disposal system, and referred to cases where hogs were kept in a manper that amounted to what he termed a public nuisance.
