FIREMEN'S PARADE PLANS COMPLETED: DG ISTRUETED Degisions Will Be Required in; 21 Events in Labor Day Jubilee. Sl i ‘SPECIAL TRAFFIC RULES - | ANNOUNCED BY PRATT Superintendent Tolice Specifics | Streets on Which Parking Will Be Permitted. . Final plans for the annual Firemen's Labor day parade and jubilee were completed last night at ‘the District | Building at a meeting of parade %ffi including 96 prospective judg for the various events, under the chair- manship of Dr. Frank E. Gibson, local physician. Decisions will be required in 21 events ranging from the easier verdicts like se- lecting the most ancient piece of ‘firc | apparatus to the more difficult task of | deciding upon the “best” float entered by a District of Columbia company. The decisions will be reached imme- diately after the last parade entry has passed the reviewing stand and the sealed verdicts of the various even:- judging committees will be deliver to the parade officials before the judges leave the stands. At last night's meeting Dr. Gibson ! | said there was a surplus of judges—23 | more than needed. In view of the e: cess in judging personnel the comm tee warned the would-be judges that if they really wanted to st in judgmen on any event in the parade they'd ha to be in the stands at least by 10 o'clock Monday morning. Not Enough Seats. “If you get there after 10, you might find your seat taken,” Dr. Gibson told the assembled group., “and if you do, that means you can't judge. The first men to' get there will be accorded the seats.” No assignments of judges to specific events were made last night, but the en- | tire roster of 96 was instructed in the methods of considering each award. It was _explained that ~assignments to events would be made as the judges reached the stands in front of the Dis- | trict Building Monday morning. Before the meeting convened, Mai. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of po- lice, announced the special traffic regu- lations for the parade hours. Parking will be prohibited from 9 am. until after the parade on the north side of B street between First street northwest to Pirst street northeast; west side of New Jersey avenue from B to F streets: east side of First street from C to F streets: south side of C street from New Jersey avenue to Third street; north side of D street from Delaware to New Jersey avenues; west side of Second street from B to F streets: south side of B street from First to Second strects: both sides of Pennsylvania avenue from First to Fifteenth streets, and both sides of Treasury place from Fifteenth street to East Executive avenue. Vehicular traffic will be prohibited on Pennsylvania avenue from First to Fifteenth street; on Treasury place from Fifteenth street to East Execu- tive avenue, and on East Executivc avenue after 10 o'clock. Permitted to Cross Avenue. “MUTS” WIN I —— CURTIS AND SISTER ATTEND PREMIERE Vice President and Mrs. Gann Among Notables at Open- ing of Rialto.

Mrs. Marion Greer Lake, 86 years ‘old, widow of Samuel Milton Lake, Civil War veteran and a practicing law- yer of this city for many years, dicd at her residence, No. 18 Grafton street, Chevy Chase, Md., yesterday. She had been in failing health for several years. Funeral services were conducted at the residence today at 10 o'clock. In- terment was in Arlington cemetery. A native of this city, Mrs. Lake was the daughter of the late Henry Vice President Curtis, his sister, Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, and members of the diplomatic corps were included in audience last night which saw the premiere of the talking motion picture “Broadway” at the Rialto Theater. Last night's performance also marked the opening of the Rialto for the season. ‘The party of the Vice President in- cluded Mahmoud Samy Pasha, Ambas- sador from Egypt. “Broadway" was launched here with much the same fanfare that has marked Hollywood's opening nights. A newsreel cameraman photographed notables among the crowd filing down the brilliantly-lighted lobby, while word pictures of the occasion were broadcast over station WRC. Lobby and stage of the large theater, which had filled almost to capacity when the curtain went up, were elaborately decorated with ~flowers. The audience was ushered in by a bevy of nattily-clad girls. Preliminary to the feature picture, a Star newsreel and a technicolor film were shown. The program also in- cluded motion picture ‘‘shots” of vari- ’|ous members of the diplomatic corps here. “Broadway” was received enthusi- astically by the crowd. P. 0.

BY TRUCK DS OF INIURIES | Victim, 18, Had Been Main| Provider for Family of Nine Persons. | Although she was only 18, Miss| Evelyn Helnicke long since had become an importanc breadwinner for the Helnicke family of nine in Riverdale, | Md. Mostly she helped the neighbors | | with their children during periods of | emergency or illness, supplementing the family income with her earnings. | Early in August Miss Heinicke ob-| tained her first steady job, with the | new Sears-Roebuck store on Bladens- | burg road near Morse street northeast. | Mrs. Heinicke was much relieved, since | the “outside” jobs of Evelyn's two elder | brothers were insecure, and since the| | other children were all too young to! help much. On_ August 15 Evelyn completed her | | first week in her new job and decided | to go downtown with a friend to a | nfoving picture by way of celebrating. After work she was crossing fhe street | adjoining the store on her wa¥ to catch | a street car when she was struck by a five-ton truck. Late yesterday afternoon at Provi- dence Hospital Evelyn lost her plucky | fight for recovery, and succumbed to | her injuries. | Shortly after her death, police of No. |9 precinet arrested Curtis_ Carter, 100 block of Ridge road, as the driver of the truck. Carter, a former policeman, dismissed several months ago from the | force after acquittal on a charge of transporting whisky, was ordered held ! for action of the grand jury by a cor- oner's jury which investigated the case | this afternono. At her home in Riverdale today Mrs. Heinicke was almost overcome with be- wilderment and grief. The mother of eight said that Evelyn | had been a good provider for several | | years, and that in her the family had | | lost its principal means of support. Evelyn is survived by four brothers, John William, 21; Carlton F., 19; Ber- nard, 13, and Francis, 9: and ' three | sisters, Gladys, 15; Fiorence 14, and Corinne, 8. |ACTION ORDERED TO EXTEND STREET | Condemnation Steps Will Be Taken to Get Land for Maryland Avenue. | . Condemnation proceedings for acqui- sition of land for extension of Maryland avenue from its present abrupt terminus at Pifteenth and H streets northeast to Anacostia Parkway were ordered by the District Commissioners today on recommendation of Melvin C. Hazen, District surveyor. The extension of Maryland ayenue will involve the widening of six ‘other- contiguous streets and condemnation proceedings to acquire the land needed also will be instituted at the same time. These projects include the widening and extension of Mount Olivet road from Bladensburg road to M street, Eighteenth street from K street to Benning road, Seventeenth street from Benning road to C street, H street from Fifteenth to Seventeenth streets, Twen- tieth street from Lang place to a circle to be_ developed in Maryland avenue near Fort Hamilton and Twenty-sixtl Acquisition of the land for the com- plete widening and extension program is expected to cost $500,000.

W. T. Harrison Contracts ! Malady While Making: Experiments. MANNER OF INFECTION UNKNOWN TO PHYSICIANS | Taken to Same Ward Where Victim He Was Aiding Is Being Treated. Undulant fever, called the “slipperiest of diseases,” has put its mark on Dr. W. T. Harrison, officer of the United States Public Health Service, who is the here to fall victim to the disease. Known also as Malta fever, the malady long has been considered par- | ticularly dangerous to laboratory work- ers. - The victims suffer from high tem- perature, anaemia, pain and swelling in the joints, and neuritis. The illness continues intermittently for as long as five years. ‘The microbes of the dread fever at- tacked Dr. Harrison while he was work- ing with the blood of Dr. Edward Francis, the fourth worker to suffer from it. Now both are in the samo ward in the Naval Hospital, and the work of the Public Hcalth Service in | tracing the disease to cxlinction is | nceessarily held up. Other Casualties. Other casualties on 'this battlefront of science were Dr. G. C. Lake and B. T. Sockrider, laboratory assistant. The case of Miss Alice C. Evans, another Government bacteriologist, led directly to the experience of Dr. Francis and Dr. Harrison. Undulant fever was discovered in the Island of Malta, and thus was called malta fever. For a long time it was a scourge among the British soldiers in Mediterranean stations, until the dis- covery was made that the disease was transmitted through milk from infected goats, which showed no evidence of dis- case. In the United States, malta fever has been known since 1905. In that year a nurse who had been attending soldiers in Washington contracted a discase diagnosed as malta fever by Col Charles F. Craig. Col. Craig at_the time ventured the opinion that malta fever was not such a rarity in_this country as generally be- lieved. Many of the doubtful cases of typhoid in the warmer portions of the United States, he said, were most prob- : and the realm of Igeislation designed as | ably instances of infection with the or- ganism of malta fever. Opinion Confirmed. This was startling. Further observa- | tions, however, confirmed the opinion of ! Dr. Craig. Dr. Lake found 35 cases in | Arizona, traceable to goats’ milk. But ! before he could finish his expedition he ! fell vietim before the enemy microbes. Miss Evans believed she became in- fected on being splashed with some of the dangerous germs received in a brok- en vial from Tunis five years ago. For | many months she was in a hospital at | Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore, as a “working patient.” She pluckily con- | tinued her work, preparing manuscript | and reading literature on the subject, | but at last she had to give up. Dr. Francis took up the work. His work on tularaemia, or “rabbit fever.” | is internationally known. Having suf: fered from tularaemia, he knew the | dangers of the new foe, but for months | Cracroft. The function of the group is | he worked with highly dangerous mate- | mostly from ginea pigs, until one day | he, too, was stricken with a fever th: was quickly diagnosed as the dreaded undulant fever. Progress of Discase Studied. | Dr. Francis studied the progress of | the disease as the germs multlfilicd with | geometrical progression in his bod: and consulted with his attending phy-| sicians at the Naval Hospital in their investigation. One of the first things | done was to take a sample of his blood. | It was then up to somebody in the | hygienic laboratory to .make a blood | culture. Dr. Harrison _volunteered. Highly skilled as a bacteriologist, he took every | nrecaution known in drawing the blood | from his colleague and succeeded in| breeding the germs through successivel generations. But he was no luckier than his predecessors. One day he! went down before fever and headachs and shortly was in Dr. Francis' ward at_the hospital. | How he became infected. mo one| knows. He has what the Public Health Service cautiously calls a “moderately | severe attack” of this more or less| mysterious disease. The reason for the | “'severity” is that he was attacked by | a particularly potent type of germ. RITES IN ARLINGTON. Funeral Services Are Held for| Mrs. Kate L. Morrison. Funeral services were conducted in Arlington Cemetery at 10:30 o'clock to- day for Mrs. Kate L. Morrison, 3(31| Porter street, who died in Walter Reed Hospital Thursday. Mrs. Morrison, who was 66 years old, was the wife of Maj. Gen. J. F. Morrison, U. S. A., retired. Besides her husband, Mrs. Morrison is survived by a sister, Mrs. Benjamin Al- | vord, widow of Maj.

APPEALS DIVISION SET-UP BY HINES Board Will Have Authority to Act on-Pleas From Decisions. CHIEF TO BE-DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE TO HIM General to Be Left Freg to Devote Time to Administra- tive Duties. One of the most important adminis- frative changes in the history of the Veterans' Bureau has been undertaken ! fitth worker in th: hyglenic' laboratory [ °Y Bris. Gen. Frank T. Hines, d‘“"i today. | through which he intends to be relieved | director, it became known from the consideration of appeals from decisions rendered in cases adjudicated under the various veterans’ acts. Director Hines has caused to be es- tablished a division of appeals, under a chief directly responsible to him, It is contemplated that when the division has taken over the work of consider- ing and acting on all appeal cases Gen. Hines will be free to devote himself al- mostentirely to the broad field of ad- ministrative \actlvities in which ths i bureau is intercsted. Division Gets Authority. The immediate effect of the change {is to delegate to the division of appeals the authority for final action on ap- peals from decisions rendered in cases adjudicated under the war risk insur- ance act, as amended; the World War veterans” act, 1924, as amended: the i World War adjusted compensation act as amended, and the emergency officers’ retirement act. The work of the Veterans’ Bureau in individual cases and claims arising out of the application of these various acts constitutes about 90 per cent of the de- tailed work of the bureau. Heretofore, Director Hines has been the final au thority on all cases appealed from de- cisions of a regional office or organi- zation unit in the bureau. In delegating to one division the authority for acting on the appeal cases, Director Hines is represented as having brought together in one sphere various related functions and at the same time to have accomplished an arrangement through which he will be freer to interest himself in the con- struction and administration of Gov- ernment hospitals, the care ofepatients aid to the bureau's thousands of de- pendents. General Order Promulgated. The division of appeals, as described in a general order promulgated by Director Hines, is to consist of an office of the chief, an advisory group and a board of appeals comprising five appeal sections. The chief of the new division, R. been cstablished in . Jarnigan, has s’ Bureau's central office, activities of the new di vision have been centered on one floor of the bureau. Jarnigan is responsible to Director Hines “for all appeal su- pervision, The advisory group, which heretofore has acted in that capacity to Gen. Hines, consists of a chairman, who is the chief of the division, Mr. Jarnigan; a chief legal advisor, George H. Lynch, and a chief medical advisor, T. B. to “make and sign decisions or rec- | rial, infected tissues and cultures, taken | ommendations on all appeals in cases | vroperly before it. Five Sections Set Up. Five sections of the board of appeals are set up, the first in the bureau here, and others in New York. New Orleans, Chicago and San Francisco. “The ac- tivitles of this board,” sald Gen. Hines' general order, “shall be to con- der all appeals from a decision made by a regional office or organizational unit in central office authorized to make initial decisions on eases adjudi- cated” under the various veterans’ acts. Existing procedure with reference to appeals continues in effect except in 5o far as modified by the machinery of the new division. Officers of the bureau who have been brought within the scope of the change contemplate that its operation will result in uni- formity of appeal regulations and, more to the interest of thousands of veterans, LEGGE SEES BENEFIT IN U. S. FARM BOARD Predicts Steps Already Taken Will Make Grain Growers “Mod- erately Comfortable.” By the Associated Press. A belief that steps already taken by the Federal Farm Board would make the grain growers of the country “mod- crately comfortable” this year was ex- pressed yesterday by Chairman Alex- ander Legge of the board on his return from Chicago. The chairman said an agreement had been reached by representatives of co- operative assoclations on the major fea- tures of the proposed $20,000,000 na- tional grain marketing organization, but that discussions looking to the in. creasing of the amount of capitaliza- tion were going on. He asserted that normal progress was being made toward organization, but described the progress as gradual be- cause of the many, problems to be work- ed 'out and the number of States in- volved. The farm board head said that the corporation would not only provide for the taking in of all grain co-opera- tives now in existence, but would be prepared also to admit other grain co- ({:p!ernlves which may be formed in the uture.

LEGION PLANS FOR CARE OF FORMER SERVICE MEN Welfare Officer Arranges to Gather Cast-Off Clothing for Use This Winter. Warned by previous experience of existing conditions among ex-service men during Winter months, Austin S. Imirie, welfare officer of the District of Columbia Department, American Legion, is appointing committees in every post and auxiliary of the Legion to arrange for the gathering of cast-off clothing for veterans' use. | The clothing secured will be reno- vated and placed in a special storage room for distribution among former service men who arriv递 in Washington this Winter without sufficient clothing. “The necessity of this,” Imirie said, “was demonstrated during the past Winter when veterans arrived in Wash- ington so thinly clad that they could not have withstood the rigors of the ‘Winter weather for an hour. One man came here in December wearing a sum- mer suit and it is more than probable that we will be confronted with similazx situations this year.” Family work in the Welfare Division munity Chest has increased to such an extent as to necessitate the appoint- ment of Mrs. Florence Lyons as as: sistant to Imirie. According to the welfare officer more than 100 children whose fathers were service men ar being cared for. The need for this only a small percentage of those being assisted were listed as needing care in“;he Social Service Exchange, Imirie said. |LONG AND MORRISON QUIT |FEDERAL SHIPPING POSTS Appointed to the Shipping Board in June, 1921, Harry Long, assistant gen- jeral counsel, and Donald 8.
