Following a three-hour conference Yesterday between the leaders of both isides in the present union wage con- froversy, the union painters at a meet ing last night smashed all hopes of &Ny compromise or arbitration settle. iment by a unanimous vote to stay out on strike until they get $10 per day.

He gaid both the organizations had the right to refuse to employ either union men or contractors who pay wages in excess of what the members of these organizations are willing to pay. Mr. Gallagher said this morning €hat if the builders had agreed to sub- mit the plan proposed at the confer ence at The Evening Star yesterday instead of withholding it he would have placed it before the meeting of the painters last night. Mr. Galla- gher said that his organization was deady now to fight through to the énd, but intimated that he was still open to suggestions for ending the strike. PIMLICO ENTRIES FOR MONDAY.

Dr. Marvin might insist that there could be no object over 500 feet hizh in the Monu- ment Lot because, by taKing an aver- age of all the millions of blades of grass, shrubs and other objects, he found that this average was only 4 Inches. Therefore he would tell me that the Washington Monument was only 4 inches hgih. “The Smithsonian observers are not depending on any such methods of deduction, We have found that there is a definite relationship between ,\ul:’xr constants and the weather. It will, of course, be possible to eliminate er- rors to a far greater extent when we have another station in some other part of the world with which to com- pare results.” Explains Theory. Dr. Abbot explained his theory by saying that from 10 to 50 per cent of the solar heat which hits the at- mospheric blanket of the earth is ab- in the atmosphere. Some of this comes into comparatively clear atmosphere and is radiated away Qquickly, maeking little actual tempera- ture change. On the other hand, some of it goes into & cloudy atmosphere, filled with dust and water vapor, where it is retained. Thus high and low pres- sure centers are ereated, and these produce the weather conditions all over the world. Present forecasting is carried on by means of locating high and low pres- sure centers, but the forecasters must Wait until they actually are formed and reported to a_central forecasting office. By the Smithsonian method it would be possible to forecast the tormation of these centers perhaps for days in advance. its advocates claimed. Dr. Abbot said he had been convinced of the practicability of the method five years ago. Proposes Test Plan. Dr. Marvin proposed that a new station be opened near some one of those now in use and that an inde- pendent observer be stationed there who would make his observations without consulting with his neighbor. At the end of a considerable period, he proposed, these results might be tabulated at a central office and the variations for the same days noted. “The trouble is,” Dr. Marvin said, “that I don’t know whether these va- riations are of the solar constant at all. They may be due to something entirely aside from the sun. Dr. Clough said he saw great possi- bilities for future work at high ele- vations, where the possibility of er. rors due to atmospheric conditions would be greatly ‘lessened. He main- tained with Dr. Marvin that the issue was one of getting the measurements to represent actual changes in the solar constant itself rather ‘than the changes brought about by errors in instrumental readings, motions of the earth and extraneous matter in the air. .

Notwithstanding that no new cases of smallpox have developed in Wash ington in three days, the Public Health Service has met such demand for vaccination by Government em ployes that Dr. Draper, in charge of the program e, plans to enlarge the e of medical officers on duty from to 25 or 30 on Monday This has been found necessary, Dr. Draper announced, on account of the increasing enthusiasm of Government cers to be vaccinated. When re. ts come in from groups of em and physicians are detailed to_perforin the vaccination, it said, there has been found in every case from two to thr times as many employes on hand as had been promised. This has slowed up the progress of the campaign through the Government establishments, so that it may be many days before all can be reached. 3,400 Are Vaccinated. It was estimated today by F Dra per that at the present rate it is prob. able that a total of 40,000 employes will be vaccinated. Many have al ready been vaccinated by their physi cians or by the District clinic, it was explained In vaccinating Government em ployes it has been recommended to them that they have members of their family vaccinated also by their family physicians. The Public Health Serv ice is vaccinating only Government employes . To date, Dr. Draper estimates there have been vaccinated by the Public Health Service physicians about 3,400 persons. Health Officer ques ployes there was William €. Fowler was encouraged today over the fact that no new cases of smallpox and no additional deaths from the disease has occurred in three days. The people generally, however, continued to heed the suggestion of health officials that they be vaccinated Clinic Open Sunday. There was another long line of men and women at the Health Department clinic, 409 Fifteenth street northwest, today. ting to be vaccinated, and Dr. Fowler has arranged to keep the linic open tomorrow. Dr. Fowler does not entertain the hope that the present lull in new cases means the end of the outbreak. He said a few additional cases may be found at intervals of a week or 10 days. He is of the opinion, howeve that the disease will begin to subside within a few weeks/as a result of the large number of persons who have ac- cepted the appeals to be vaccinated. VACCINATION PERIL DENIED. Charges in the Evening Graphic, a New York paper, published by Bernarr McFadden, and distributed in Wash- ington, that vaccination will not pro- fire from Health Service, who issued a formal denial of the charges. and went into Surg. Gen. Cumming of the Public the medical history of the subject “No more false or misleading s ment could be made than to say that vaccination will not protect against smallpox,” said the Surgeon General. “Vaccine is not pus, nor is it poison in the accepted meaning of these terms. Chloroform is a poison, co caine is a poison, even quinine and calomel are poisons, but when used properly all these substances confer very great benefits on the human race. So does vaccine when used proper! confer a greater benefit than any other one measure that has ever been discovered.” Asserts Protection Given. “It is not true,” continued the sur- geon general, “that there are no sta- tistics to show that vaccination will protect against smallpox. There are records of thousands of persons who shortly after vaccination was discov- ered were first vaccinated and later inocculated with smallpox, none of whom contracted the disease. “Smallpox is a filthy disease, but not a filth disease. Sanitation has little, if any, influence in checking its ravages. On the other hand, vacci- nation will protect against smallpox, though people may live in squalor. “The vaccine used today is the best that can be produced by modern means. Vaccine virus and not small- pox virus is used to inoculate calves in its production. If all strains of cowpox were lost, it is probable that smallpox virus, after repeated passage through a number of calves, mignt v used with perfect safety, but no one would inoculate a calf with smallpox and use the virus so produced from the first calf. It is not true that smallpox is or ever was produced by vaccination. Danger Declared Slight. “When vaccination 1is properly performed and the wound properly cared for the danger is negligible. The physicians of the Army and Navy since 1900 have vaccinated more than 6,000,000 persons without a single death. It is true that one death occurred during the course of vac- cination, but I am_informed that this man contracted influenza pneumonia after vaccination and died of this disease. It seems highly probaBle that vaccination had nothing to do with his {llness or death. The use of cocaine or ether by the surgeon or dentist is much more dangerous than vaccination. In my judgment, when bad results follow vaccination they are almost invariably due to im- proper methods of vaccinating and improper dressings. “How long one vaccination protects against smallpox depends on the fresh- ness, the potency of the vaccine used, and to a less extent the severity of the type of smallpox to which one is exposed. From 7 to 10 years appears to be the average period of more or less complete protection, but it may be much longer or considerably short- er. Three successful vaccinations at different perfods of life afford practi- cally complete protection throughout life. If all people were vaccilated in infancy, again between 15 and 12 years of age and again between 30 and 40, smallpox would probably dis- appear from the earth. Second and third vaccinations are much milder than first vaccinations, depending on the length of time since the last vac- cination. —e. TIME LIMIT IS NEAR FOR TAX PAYMENTS Reminder that the second half of real estate and personal taxes for the current fiscal vear are due this month was issued to the public to- day by Chatham M. Towers, collector of taxes. Personal tax bills are being mailed out and the real estate bills are ready for distribution at the District Building, or will be mailed upon written request. An accurate record of addresses of real estate owners is being gath- ered as persons call for their bills, looking to the mailing out of all bills in_future years. Persons who failed to pay the first half of the tax when it was due last November, will find a penalty of 6 per cent added to half the bill when they pay the full amount this month.

Tuckerman of Burning Tree, a former District champion, and W. R. McCallum, the Washington Golf and Country Club champion, survived the first two rounds of match play in the Indian Spring tournament yesterday. MacKenzie and Fuller met in one half of the semifinal round today, while Tuckerman and McCallum met in the other half for the right to com- | pete in the final round this afternoon. | Roland MacKenzie, contnuing the fine golf that won him the qualifying round on Thursday, set far too hot a pace for Harry G. Pitt in the morn ing and nosed out a 2-and-1 over his clubmate, Miller B. Stevin son, in the afternoon. Fuller, in the meantime, had won from -Albert R MacKenzie and in the afterncon de- feated George J. Voigt of Bannock burn, a former hplder of the District municipal linke tiNe. Fuller had two consistent rounds under 80 to win. Tuckerman defeated W. J. Cox of Rock Creek Park in the morning with out trouble and set too fast a pace on the last nine for Dr. E. R. Tilley of Indian Spring in the afternoon. Mec- Callum won from Gene Kane by 7 and 6 in the morning and from M. A. Ship- ley of Rock Creek in the afternoon by 4 and 3. The MacKenzle-Stevinson match, which was expected to produce some of the best golf of the tournament, was a medley of brilllant golf and badly played shots. Neither man played the game of which he fs capable. but Roland held a slight edge through most of the round. Fuller was around in 75 to defeat Voigt, while McCallum had par left for a 74 against Shipley. Summarics Yesterday. Yesterday's summaries follow First flight round—R. R. MacKenz Col H. G.

The crew of one of the steamers was just rescued this morning_after hours in peril The Nova Scotia schooner Cape D'Or went down Thursday night, three minutes after being rammed by the steamer Clackamas, off Sambro Lightship. Mrs. Margaret Leone Wilkie, wife of the captain, and four of the crew, including the captain's brother, were drowned. Capt. Wilkie and two other men were rescued. | Two steamers, the Azov, ashore on the Southern Cape Breton coast, and the Moldegaard, a Norwegian boat, ashore off Pennant Point, were ex- pected to be total losses, reports telling of both being pounded to pleces by the high seas. The 25 men aboard the Azov managed to reach shore in their boats, but the crew of the Moldegaard was unable to do this, and the Dominion government steamer Stanley, standing by through the night, effected the rescue today. Three men stayed with the ship. Capt. Ralph McKenzie of the fishing schooner Archie F.
