HEALTH PEOPLE
EIGHT EPIDEMIC
Five Deaths Thus Far From
Measles, With 44a Cases
in Past Week.
PARENTS URGED TO GIVE AID
Though Situation Is Bad. De?
partment Thinks Disease will
Soon Be Stamped Out.
With more than eighty new cuses re?
ported yesterday, the epidemic of
measles which is sweeping the city as?
sumed larger proportions than any
o'her similar epidemic In the history
of the Health Department. The re?
port of flee deaths Indicates that the
disease is unusually serious, and the
he ilth officers are working wi'h might
and main to head off the Infection of
public schools, which have remained
iree of contagion to this time.
Although the memorable measles
epidemic of 1'JIO produced a total of ,
'-.-'70 cases. It is expected that this nun?
ber will he surpassed before the disease
is stamped out. In May. 1910. the
month with the highest record. 8J3
c;i-e- were reported, while during the
twenty-five days of the present month,
1.IW cases have been placed on the
books of the Health Department.
The past week, with the report of
44.' fiech rase?. has been the most pro?
ductive of trouble since the appearance
of the epidemic, and Dr. Levy is won?
dering what the next week will bring
forth. The figures for yesterday bring
the total number of cases to about
MB.
Five Deaths- Thus Far.
This disease, so commonly supposed
to be harmless, has produced five
dea'hs so far. As a usual thing, only
children seem susceptible to death from
measles, yet the present epidemic has
caused the death of one white woman,
forty-six years old. The other deaths
were: two negro boys, one and four
years old; two negro girls, eighteen
months and two years old.
The epidemic of U*M caused twenty
nine deaths, and while the cases seem
more numerous this year, the health
officials expect, the fatality to be les?
because the people have become bet
' ter educated to the dangers and are
: quicker to summon expert medical
, assistance
While Dr. Levy's force is bending
every effort to break the epidemic, all j
labors are unavailing without the ba
I teiligent co-operation of parents The
I School Board Is standing shoulder tu
.' shoulder with the Health Department ;
and is taking a thousand precautions
to prevent the spread of contagion
through the medium of the class-rooms.
With the Sunday schools, the case is
different, and the Health Department
is experiencing difficulty in coping with
the situation in a satisfactory manner.
Nurses and physicians are examining
the children of the various public
S' hool? every few days for traces of
measles, and any child showing indica?
tions of infection is hus'led home with
orders to stay in quarantine until re?
lieved by tho Health Department. The
clase-rrooms an being kept scrupulously
clenn and fumigated, ami if the parents
learn not to send children exhibiting
even minor symptoms to school the de?
partment experts to break the back of
the epidemic in a couple of weeks. ,
SACRED CANTATA
"The Message of the Star" at tirare
I Street Presbyterian To-Night.
Much interest has been aroused
among musical people in general and ;
among those concerned in church music ?
in particular by the announcement that j
the choir ?>f the Orace Street I'resby
tafias Church, assisted by a number of :
local singers and a violinist, will sing |
to night, for the first time in Richmond. .
, K. Huntington Woodman's sacred can- i
' tata, "The Message of the Star. '
Woodman is a living American com- '
' poser, who has been chiefly known
through his songs, which are noted for
their melody, though strictly modern'
; in their construction. This, his most
{successful work, contains the same
I melodious manner of expression that is
I found in his songs, particularly in the
?' many sclos in which the work abounds.
I but at the same time is elaborately
scored for the organ in thoroughly
I modern style.
Strictly speaking, a Christmas can
Itata. "The Message of the Star.*' is
largely joyous in its spuit. as befits
. the season during which it was primarily
? intended to r>s performed
The cantata will be sung as a part
of the regular evening service of the
church, which begins at S o'clock.

Unprecedented Scene Before
Supreme Tribunal in Habeas
Corpus Case.
Trobably raver before in Yirgini t !
has a judge appeared before an appal I
late court to argue the validity of bis
own act. aa was done in the Supreme
Court of Appeal? yesterday morning
by ft. Oordon Flnney. special Justice;
ot the peace in Alexandria County
Mr. Tinney argued his own case in
opposition to an application for a
writ of habeas corpus made to the court j
by W. B. Settle, who was committed
for contempt proceedings.
Settle himself, although apparently
Use person most interested, was not rep-;
> resented at all. This makes it evident i
that, the whole matter is intended as
ja test of the constitutionality of the i
1 act passed by the last Legislature per
! mining the appointment of the special :
'. Justices of the peace, with the pow- I
' ers exercised by a police Justice in a'
j city. I
Another remarkable feature to the |
proceedings yesterday was the fact ;
that Attorney-tieneral Samuel \V. Wil- :
t liams, appearing in the case, admitted
UM unconstitutionally of the act. i
while at the same time declaring that
the ruling of Justice Finney in com- I
nutting Settle was valid, inasmuch as i
he is the de facto judge.
Argue Constitutionality.
In view of the fact that he had the
power by being in office, the Attorney
General ilid not see that the consti?
tutionality of the act was a factor in
this particular proceeding. However,
he did not hesitate to say that the law
does not conform to the Constitu?
tion.
Mr. Finney argued that the Legisla?
ture is given the right in Section 10*
of the Constitution to "provide for the
appointment or election and for the
jurisdiction of such justices of the peace
as the public interest may require."
The Attorney-Oeneral called atten- I
tion to the act itself, which permits '
such appointment in counties having ,
a population of as many as .100 inhabi?
tants to the square mile, saying that
if such a law could be enacted, the As?
sembly might say that it could be
done in counties with but three people
i to the square mile. Therefore, the act
was a special one in its application.
The density of population of Alex?
andria County, composed of so many
small towns as to make it all one town, j
was given as the reason for the desira?
bility of a police justice.
The court took the case under advise?
ment
Adjournment for the term was taken
by the court after hearing this argu?
ment. The case of the Southern Rail?
way Company vs. Baptist begun Friday,
was argued by William Leigh, for the
plaintiff in error, and by John L. Lee
and Marsball B. Booker, for the de?
fendant in error, and submitted.
The rase of Hardy et al. vs. Coley
et als. was submitted on briefs.

NOW,
Unless You Go Right Aftei
Flies, They'll Ruin Us
by Summertime.
While Old Kin* Winter is doing ta?
wolf in ?heep's-i lothing act he in lay?
mg up all sorts of fun for the fly-swat*
ters of 4o-morrow. according to Of
experts. A few experiments just com?
pleted bv Ci'v Bacteriologist Straus)
has disclosed the lamentable fact that
the fly pupae, which are accustomed to
he inactive in winter, awaiting the)
coming of spring, are merrily hatching]
into full-blown flies as If this were June.
Yes. madame. those three or four
elusive, tantalizing flies that you have)
been chasing around tho dining room
for the entire season are not hangovers
from last summer, but new flies freshly
hatched from the uncovered garbage
can which the cook leaves outsido tha
door. It is a sad fact, but none the
less true, there will be a bumper crop
of files next summer. In that land of
the musca domestics all is merry and.
the geese honk high
To little Sarah Johnson and the Boy
Scouts whose exploits against the house
fly filled reams of front page paper last
June, the prognostication of Dr. Straus
will be like music to the ear. The more
the flies, the easier they are to swat. The
harvest truly will be great and the
workers murderous.
To como down to serious considera?
tion, the facts are not cheerful. The -
cold blasts of winter have for yearn
been man's beat all in the extermi?
nation of the disease-carrying house
fly. and now that a winter has come
with temperatures too high to kill by
frost, the crop of hibernatorn who live
through until warm weather will be
unusually large and. worse still, tho
hatching process will continue unin?
terrupted through the supposedly colit
months.
Samples from trash piles brought to
the Health Department office recently
were found to contain the usual quan?
tity of fly pupae which, instead of ap?
pearing in the dormant state, were in
various stages of incubation. Dr.
Straus immediately began a series of
experiments, placing the samples with _
the pupae in an ice chest, and varying'
the temperature, watched the effect on
the eggs.
Tho result of the experiment showed
that pupae will hatch at a much lower
temperature than has heretofore been
believed. If headway is to be made
against the fly, tho swatting must begin
now.
