The allment, according to a prelimi- Fowler, District health officer, by Dr. James G. Cummings, head of the Bu- reau of Contaglous Diseases of the Health Department, appears to be akin to dysentery, a communicable disease of the intestines. Since Dr. Cummings reported that about 17 of the bables were ailing when he vikited the home yesterday, | Dr. Fowler decided today to conduct a thorough probe. He announced that | the investigation, which is in charge | of Dr. Cummings, will cover “all phases of the situation, including care and handling of the food, sani- tation, ete.” Call Reports Exaggerated. Officiale_of the home, which is lo. cated at Conduit and New Cut roads, | while registering great concern-over | the death of the babies, characterized published reports of the outbreak as “greatly exaggerated.” Miss Jean Cole, superintendent of the home, de- clared that “only a few, possibly haif a dozen,” of the youngsters are {ll, and that the condition of each today was_encouraging. “Everything is being done that is humanly possible to take care of the situation,” Miss Cole stated. “We have called in extra trained nurses and are bending every effort to care for the sick babies. But there is no panic here, nor has any been report- ed. We are griet-stricken, however, that two babies should have died here when we usually only have perhaps one a vear.” Two of the babies were taken yes. terday to the Children’'s Hospital, where it was sald today that their condition was “about the same.” One is in a serlous condition, Dr. Fowler | was Informed. Pure Milk and Water. Dr. Fowler said today he is con- vinced that neither the milk nor the water served at the home is respon- sible. Some of the ailing babies are breast-fed, he pointed out, while the water is from the city supply, known to_be pure. Miss Cole declared that the Health Department had given the home “a ! clean bill of health.” Dr. Fowler re { fused to confirm this, however. | " Attention of the health officer first { was called to the outbreak by the | deputy coroner, Dr. Herbert Martyn, who performed an autops bodles of the dead babies in an effort { to determine the cause of death. One | i of the children, a boy, died Monday the other, a girl, several hours Jater. The names of both were | | withheld by the authorities. | Dr. Martyn's examination disclosed an infected condition of the intestines | that suggested such diseases as) | diarrhea, cholera infantum, etc. The sudden course of the infection, with | | its fatal results, was puzziing to Dr. | P. A. McLendon, staft physician of | the home, however. ! 1 Intestines Examined. Medical experts of the Health De- partment were examining specimens | of the intestines today for clues that | might lead to a satisfactory diagnosis {of the cases, Dr. Fowler sald. The examination so far has shown tha the intestines were highly inflamed as is the case with dysentery, he asserted. Miss Cole expressed the opinion that the illness was merely “climatic” and that it would soon | aisappear. The home is one of Washington's leading charitable institutions, har- boring erring young girls and their bables. There have been about 30 | children at the honte during the past | summer. ? i PG e pomid $50,000 IN MAIL LOOT. Value of Other Packages Stolen in Toledo May Be as High.

That Washington's hathing places, If Congress can be prevailed upon to provide them at the coming session, will be artificial pools, rather than river bathing beaches, was indicated Col. Clarence the office of and public parks of pital, wrote today to Senator W. I. Norris, chairman of the Park Board of Baltimore. Col Sherrill, in asking for extensive data on the Baltimore bathing pools. in- formed Senator Norris that Washing- ton was not situated as fortunately as Baltimore, and could not fprovide wa- tering places on nearby bays and rivers because of unsatisfactory con ditions Col. Sherrill several days ago made a tour of the parks and beaches of the Monumental City with Senator Norris, and was most favorably impressed with the system of pools there, which can accommodate 20,000 people a day. and he took occasion in the letter to O. Sherrill, director of the National ¢ ‘thank the Baltimore park official for the tour of inspection provided him. Sketches of the Baltimore pools, data on methods of constructfon, costs, | etc., are asked for by Col. Sherrill in his letter, and when received the work that Baltimore is doing wliil be studied with a view to providing Congress with complete information on what the neighbor city is doing. Senator Norris, Col. Sherrill said, had offered him full co-operation, and it is expected that the information will be prepared for presentation to | Congress at the next session. Unsatisfactory conditions in the Po- tomac and Anacostia Rivers as devel- oped in the recent pollution survey by the United Statee Public Health Service, it is believed, will force the Capital City to concentrate (v artifi- clai pools. 1In fact, Col. Sherrill in asking for complete data on the pools and stating that the Capital City was not =o fortunately situated as Balti- more as to have satisfactory water fa- cilities is taken by those in close touch with the situation to indicate that every effort will be made to have ar- | tificial pools provided. They can be purified cheaper, it was pointed out, althdugh Col. Sherrill has a plan for building river beaches by building breakwaters in a certain section and leaving only a small opening which would keep out the direct current and would permit of chlo=ination with the rise of the tide as the water flows into the breakwater. Half-Million City By Oct. 1 Indicated In Census Figures Washington will be a city of half a million persons .by October 1, if the population increase shown dur- ing the decade from 1910 to 1920 is carried out for the three months énded with September 30. . Estimates made by the Census Bureau as of July 1 placed the population of the Capital at 497,906 on that date, based on the normal yearly growth of 10,970 shown for the decade ending January 1, 1920. Using the same basis of calculation and the same methods used by the Census Bureau, Washington will have passed the halt-million mark in population by October 1, if it has not already done so. On the first of October, if the nor- mal increase is maintained, Wash- ington will then have a population of 500,648 persons. The 1920 cen- sus showed by actual count & popu- lation of 437,571. No census by count has been taken since that time, but the bureau has made sev- eral estimates of the population from time to time, based on the 1910:1920 increase rate.

Municipal co- operation by the establishment of local airports also was urged by the Commerce Secretary. Self-supporting air services for com- mercial _transportation within the United States is now a possibility for which the Federal Government should immediately provide, Secretary Hoover said in his tatement vesterday. A Federal agency should be created to render to aviation nearly the same aid which is now rendered govern- mentally to navigation, he said, and municipalities should adopt a_policy of providing local air ports. He ad- vocated also an expansion of the air mail service. Stresses Government Need. “I believe that with this minimum extension of governmental activities,” he said, “we can secure commercial aviation in the United States without subsidy. It seems to me certain that we cannot have successful develop- ment of commercial aviation until som? Government services provide for it.” Outlining how the Federal Govern- ment lights and marks channels for water navigation, maintains constant advice to navigators, provides for safety inspection of water craft and licenses navigators, he continued: “Were all these services wiped out tomorrow, our entire water-borne traf- fic would stop instantly. We have to this, I believe, a complete analogy in aviation. Before we can expect to de- velop commercial aviation we must study the air routes: we must provide for charting the airways: for lighting land marking them: for warnings of weather disturbances; we must under- take the development of ports; we must provide ultimately a body of law | comparable to_our merchant marine | ~(Continued on Page 5, Column 1) | ing Burns. | Adam: threw out L. generous help our people received from citizens of the United States in time / bt Y ; 3 \ l Goslin Hits Over Wall in Right in First for Eighteenth Homer of Year.

The chief of the White House secret service, who is in personal charge of guarding the President, said today he is inclined to favor this extra safeguard, but has been unable to learn whether it meets with President Coolidge’s approval.

Last evening, just before supper, when Mr. Coolidge generally goes for his second stroll of the day, a bicycle policeman trom the fourth precinct was stationed at one of the White House gates, ready to trail along when the Presi- dent and his bodyguards appeared. Upon seeing this uniformed man the President suddenly changed his mind and after strolling only as far as Executive avenue, less than half a block, turned abruptly and went back to the White House.

Rosendahl said. “was in easual conversation with me, in which he said it was too bad the iShenandoah had not been able to make the trip during the 10 d mmediate- Iy preceding September 2, when weath- | er conditions were wellnigh perfect | shown by the weather maps.” | , “Can you say whether Comdr. Lans downe understood and approved the changes In itinerary as ordered by the Navy Department?” asked Capt. Paul | Foley, the judge advocate. | Anxious for Trip. | “Yes, sir,” Rosendahl replied, addinz {that when he returned from Detroit | where he tested the mooring mast 1o { be used by the Shenandoah. he stopped at the Navy Department and was shown a chart of the trip. Three | routes were charted: that originally | proposed by the Navy: that proposed | by Lansdowne, and that finally de- | cided upon by fhe department. Kosen- | dahl said he explained the reasons for |the change to Lansdowne when he | returned to Lakehurst | “Within your knowledge was any one connected with the Shenandoah or | the naval air station at Lakehurst ob jecting to the flight?” asked Capt Foley. | *No, sir,” Rosendahl replied. “On i the contrary, several student officers asked if any student officers could be | taken on the trip.” | Rosendahl added that one officer who was lo have been taken was | stricken ill just before the fiight, but | objected to beingz left behind, despite | the fact that his temperature was 103 | degrees “I think his attitude was indicative of the spirlt of the whole crew,” he satd. i Wreckage Studied. | Wreckage of the airship was in- | spected by the court of inquiry hers | today so that the members might form a clearer idea from the testimony of | survivors just what happened within the big ship when she broke up. Survivors explained to the court de- talls regarding the ship’s construction {and the function of the various pleces ) wreckage which had been laid out jon the floor of the hangar here in the | relative position in which it was in the original hull. All Parts of Ship. | Included in the salvage were the ! five engines of the air fighting craft, all of them considerably damaged as a result of their fall; parts of the framing, much of it twisted; control {and other wires; fragments of the con. trol car; some of the automatic and | maneuvering valves for releasing heli- | um, some of them damaged by the | fall, as well as parts of the covering bag, the gas cells and even blankets | used by members of the crew. | The inspection consumed virtually all of the morning and there was no taking of evidence. Later in the day | the barograph record showing exactly | how the ship bumped about in the | storm was to be presented to the | court to amplify the testimony of the members of the crew as to the ship’s position when the break-up came. There was discussion here today of the possibility of calling Admiral Eberle, chief of naval operations, and Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, for question- ! ing regarding the confidential corre- spondence introduced yesterda: cerning plans for the fatal flight of the Shenandoah, but members of the { court sald there had been no decision on this point. No Mention of Weather.
