The recent outbreak of illness among the nurses and other employes of Gar- field Hospital was caused by an intesti- nal organism known to science as bacil- lus aertryche, according to a report submitted yesterday afternoon to Health Officer William C. Fowler by Dr. James G. Cumming, chief of the contagious disease section of the Health Depart- ment, who made an investigation of the case. Thirty-six of the hospital employees were stricken, 30 on Saturday, Sep- tember 9, and the others on the follow- 4ng Monday. Al had eaten food pre- pared in the same mess unit. While the Health Department was unable to obtain samples of the food a bacterio- Jogical examination of the patients re- vealed the bacillus aertryche organism, which Dr. Fowler said probably was carried by a member of the kitchen staff. The organism is of the same group * @8 the para-typhoid germ that caused widespread iliness among students of . Business High School at the cadet vic- tory supper in June. To cover the prospective deficit of #ailways in Germany passenger and Freight rates are to be raised.

THINK THREAT LETTERS WERE WRITTEN BY CRANK Los Angeles Guards Withdrawn by Sheriff From Home of Mrs. Willebrandt’s Parents. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 13.—Inves- tigation of threatening letters received by Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Walker of Tem- ple, Calif, parents of Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant United States At- torney General, was virtually closed by the Los Angeles County sheriff’s office yesterday. Deputy sheriffs who have been standing guard at the Walker ranch home were withdrawn. Sheriff's investigators said they had satisfled themselves that the letters were the work of a political crank and that the threats would not be carried —A permanent shrine to “Stonewall” United Lutheran Body Says Lack of Standards Is Island Blight. By the Associated Press ERIE, Pa., October 13.—The Board of American Misslons, in making its report to the biennial convention of the United Lutheran Church in America here yes- terday, declared the “curse and blight” of the Island of Porto Rico was-the “low moral standard” of the unchurch- ed natives. The situation, it was said, was a matter for great concern. “No blame or censure is attached to it,” the board said. “The tie between brothers and sisters is weakened. Chil- dren are denied a real home. The streets are filled with undernourished, underprivileged and neglected little ones. Fathers have no sense of respon- sibility for the training of their chil- dren. They satisfy the law's demands by providing a mere pittance every month for their material support. The boys and girls grow up to follow the same shocking standards at an early age. “To combat this serious menace and inculcate Christian teaching and prac- tice, many Protestant denominations are actively at work in Porto Rico.” On the mainland of America, the re- port said, the Lutherans found a vaster untouched problem among the 14,000,- 000 negroes, addine that it was still wrestling with the problem of whether and how to.go about missionary work for -them. Dr. E. Clarence Miller of Philadel- phia, treasurer of the church, suggested to the convention that the Liberian Jackson, famous Southern leader in the Civil War, was dedicated today in the little house where he died at Guinea, in Caroline County. Officials of the Richmond, Predericks- i burg & Potomac Railroad Co., now own- ers of the property, had charge of the ceremony. Members of the Richmond and Fredericksburg Chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy took part. A large crowd gathered motion aroused such adverse sentiment it was withdrawn. The treasurer said the cost of a single conversion in India was $30, in China $450 and in Japan $550. A proposal for an aggressive cam- paign of evangelism in a “new and more effective way” than heretofore will be submitted to the convention today by the committee on evangelism. If the committee’s plan is adopted there will be no emotional appeal through the medium of revival services, but instead a steady, consistent drive by concen- trating the efforts of the church upon specific individuals and inviting them u)’: attend and unite with the Lutheran church, WoopwaRD The party went from Predericksburg to Spotsylvania County where Gen. Jack: son fell mortally wounded by hz own men in ths battle of Chancellofsville. The route over which he was carried was partly followed by the delegation in returning to Guinea. At the shrine, Eppa Hunton, jr., pres- ident of the R. F. & P. Railroad, ex- plained the purpose of the company in acquiring and preserving the property. Portraits of the Southern chieftain were presented by Mrs. M. G. Willis, jr., president of the Prederlek&bul’s U. D. C., and by Oswald E. Camp, resident en- gineer of the Fredericksl and Spot- sylvania Battlefield Park mission, the son of a Union soldier. The prin- cipal address was delivered by Dr. Stuart McGuire of Richmond, son of Gen. Jackson's surgeon, Dr. Hunter McGuire, In the shrine are many relics. _———— Policeman, 61, Retires.
