POSTAL AGREES TO SELL
JACOGSEN WILLING TO BUY AMD
THE DEAL IS CLOSED PROMPTLY.
Change of Control of the Local Base
Ball Club?New Owner Promises
to Improve the Team.
President Bancroft B. Johnson of the
American League, arrived In Washington
last night about 11 o'clock and In about
fifteen minutes, actual time, had straight
ened out the muddle existing between Presi
dent rostal of the Washington club and
Manager Loftus. Mr. Johnson is a past mas
ter in handling Just such little difficulties
and this one proved no exception to the
rule.
After President Postal, Manager Loftus,
Vice President Joeobsen and Mr. Johnson
had collected at the Oxford, the following
conversation ensued:
Air. Joeobsen: "Do you want to selll youi
stock?"
Mr. Postal: "I do."
Mr. Jacobsen: "How much do you want
for it?"
The price was tiien named and accepted
and the deal closed. Nothing was put on
paper to bind the bargain. Mr. Jacobsen
is a man of his word and the legal formali
ties of the deal will probably be complete;!
late this afternoon at the office of Wilton
J. Lambert, the legal representative of tli?
club.
Prior to the meeting at the Oxford, Mr.
Johnson had a few minutes' talk with each
of the parties represented and when they
came together there was little to be done.
Manager Loftus was particularly elated
at the outcome of the affair and he Is anx
ious to demonstrate that he can place a
winning ball team in Washington. The
players, when they heard of the deal this
morning, were also glad, as they recognized
the fact that Mr. Loftus is a prince of good
fellows and a splendid manager to work
for.
As to the charge that Mr. Postal has not
played fair with Mr. Loftus and th? minor- j
I ity stockholders in this city, it can be
stated that when the former was in this
city last spring he could have disposed of
his stock at a figure very much higher than
he is getting in the present deal, had he
desired to leave Manager Loftus In the
lurch. The principal reason that has led
Mr. Postal to make the sale is the fact
that while he is the largest stockholder in
the club he had very little to say In its
management.
"This may be all right in base ball," said
Mr. Postal this morning, "but where ray
money goes 1 must have some say."
What Mr. Jacobsen Says.
Mr. Jacobsen is also pleased with the
, deal- He ie a stanch believer in Manager
Loftus and his methods, and is positive that
with any sort of luck that the latter can
place a winner here.
"I have always thought the Washington
club should be owned and controlled by
local people, and when I discovered that
Mr. Postal would sell out I laid rny plans
accordingly," said Mr. Jacobsen this morn
lnf?r a reporter.
rhe club is a valuable piece of property
and I believe I have made a good invest
ment, continued Mr. Jacobsen. "Many
new players will be secured his fall, and 1
have Instructed Mr. Loftus that he will
na\e all the backing: necessary in securing
the men he desires. I am as tired ..f a los
ing club as any of the other Washington
fans, and the local patrons can rest as
sured that there will be nothing left undone
to brace up the game in this city."
Piesident Johnson refused to discuss the
situation In any of its phases, con
tenting himself with the remark that the
American League is In splendid shape and
that in getting the Washington club into
cned thereby S or8;inizatil"> ?? strength
Mr. Postal's leg.il representative. Mr Al
lor, also reached the city yesterdav and it
is expected that they will be able to leave
roi home by tomorrow evening. Both gen

TYPHUS IN GERMANY.
A Commission Appointed to Consider
Means of Preventing Its Spread.
According to Consul General Guenther, at
Frankfort, the chancellor of the German
empire lias appointed a commission, of
which the president of the imperial German
health office is chairman, to visit southwest
Germany for the purpose of studying the
means In use for the prevention of the
spread of typhus.
The relchstag, at the last session, appro
priated 150 marks (35,7W) for this pur
pose. Tills was done In order to test the
method of Professor Koch. This method is
based upon the recognized principle that it
is essential to find all the cases of typhus
as early as possible and to make a sure
diagnosis thereof. It is only when this iu
1 lH possible to Isolate all eases
and thereby prevent the spread of the
disease. One feature has to be particularly
kept n view, namely, that light attacks of
the disease occur which do not. r at least
only partially, Interrupt the daily work of
the patients. But such cases are Just the
ones which ought to be investigated in
order to prevent the spreading of the dis
ease, as it Is mainly from these that the
yet unsuspected typhus bacilli get Into the
water Professor Koch lias proposed to
maintain bacteriological experimental sta
tions In vicinities where typhus occurs most
frequently and especially where it has be
come fixed. The directors of these stations
and their assistants will have to do all the
necessary work of preventing the spread
of typhus. They work hand in hand with
the local practicing physicians.
it is desired to have all the typhus sta
tions of the several federal states work in
harmony. The work to a certain degree
has been made a federal function with a
uniform organization.
Mr. Donovan Recovering.
Officials and employes at the District
building were gratified to learn from the
Kmergency Hospital today that Mr. W. J.
Donovan, license Inspector In the office ot
Mr. H. H. Darneille, the assessor, is rapidly
recovering from the accident that befell
him at his home, 1218 O street northwest,
last Sunday. Mr. Donovan is still suffering
some from bronchitis but unless complica
tions should ensue he will be out in a few
days. Mr. Donovan slipped In the tub while
bathing Sunday at'his home. In falling he
must have made an effort to catch at the
g.-s fixture, for when he was discovered
some time later one of the burners was
turned partly on, the other burning. Mr
Donovan was rendered unconscious He
was discovered by a servant in the house,
the members of his family being absent
from the city.

LOUD GAS EXPLOSION.
Caused Rumors That an Attempt Had
Been Made on Treasury Vaults.
Street car passengers and pedestrians on
15th street northwest between Pennsylva
nia avenue and E street were startled last
night about 10:40 o'clock by a loud explo
sion of gas in the electric light conduit. J
There were but few pedestrians on the .
street at the time, but two street cars were
not far from the scene at the time of the
explosion. People who witnessed the blow
ing up of the Iron plates and masonry say
that one plate went as high as the treasury
building and dropped on the asphalt pave
ment near a street car. The blowing up of
the manhole caused a loud report and sev
eral wild rumors were put In circulation.
One was that an attempt had been made to
blow open the vaults In Uncle Sam's big
building. Several policemen and Detectives
O'Brien and Parham soon appeared upon
the scene and remained there until em
ployes of the company came and protected
the dangerous opening for tHe night. More
than five years ago a similar explosion oc
curred on 15th street, which caused r.o
more damage than last night's explosion.
An examination of the walls of the Treas
ury Department was made by oinclals to
day to determine if the explosion had done
any damage, but it was found that there
was absolutely not a crack or a loose stone
or piece of timber on the side of the treas
ury building where the explosion occurred.
The force of the explosion appeared to
have been confined to the sidewalk and did
not go inward toward the walls of the
treasury.
ESCAPED FROM ASYLUM.
Wm. Brady Left Recovery Ward of
Hospital Sunday.
Intendent Stoutenburg of the Washington
Asylum has reported to the Commissioners
the escape of a prisoner from the receiv
ing ward of the asylum hospital on August
2. The prisoner was one William Brady,
better known as Blllle, or William Clark,
who was committed to the workhouse April
28 for ninety days on a charge of vagrancy,
and May 5 for thirty days on a charge of
disorderly conduct. The prisoner left the
receiving ward of the hospital about 9:30
o'clock Sunday night. He had been oper
ated on some t4me since, and was In a
convalescent state.
"He was seen only a few moments be
fore his escape by the nurse on duty,"
says Intendent Stoutenburg, "who per
mitted the door to be opened to allow an
other patient to go to the bath room ad
Joining. It Is believed that Brady took
this opportunity to slip by the nurse and
make his escape. His time, with good
behavior allowance, would have expired
August 6. Officers were at once sent in
pursuit, and the detective office at police
headquarters at once notified of the es
cape."
Washington Asylum Physicians.
Dr. Bruce Mackall, interne at the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital, a call for whose
resignation has been recommended by the
board of charities, visited Commissioner
West at the District building this morning
and informed him that he was preparing
counter charges to be filed against Dr. D.
Percy Hlckling, the visiting physician. It
was upon Dr. Hickllng's recommendation
that Dr. Mackall's resignation bo requested
that the board of charities acted in the
matter, after making a separate investiga
tion, however, on their own account.
Dr. Hlckling has recommended to the
Commissioners that Drs. William J. Lamb
and John II. Gunnell be appointed internes
at the hospital as soon as vacancies occur.
These vacancies are expected in the cases
of Drs. W. S. Cain and Mackall.
District Building Notes.
Dr. J. P. Turner of the health department
recently reported to Health Officer Wood
ward that Charles Wolf, residing on Mills
avenue near Langdon, recently killed a dog
showing marked symptoms of rabies. A
Newfoundland dog belonging to Wolf was
quarantined, but afterward removed to the
pound and killed.
The Commissioners have approved the
position taken by Chief Engineer Belt of
the fire department that the one watchman
In the department Is not entitled to partici
pation In the firemen's relief fund, and
therefore should not be assessed at the rate
of $1 a month, as the other members of the
department are. The watchman is not ex
posed to fire risks.
The request of the Petworth Citizens' As
sociation for improvement of various afreets
in that subdivision has been placed on tile
by the Commissioners for consideration in
I preparing future estimates to Congress.

SOTJFRIERE SUFFERERS
PITIFUL CONDITION OF MANY
FAMILIES.
Bad Circumstances Charged to the Ob
stinacy of the Governor
in-Chief.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
KINGSTON, St. Vincent, July lO.-The
Sentry publishes an article today, calling
public attention to the miserable condition
of many of the sufferers from the late
eruption of the Soufrlere.
"The condition of the stricken families,"
says the Sentry, "who are sick, starving
and penniless, excites the pity of the hard
est heart and fires with Indignation the
minds of those who are aware that this tin
fortunate, nay disgraceful, circumstances id
the direct result of the acts of a despotic
governor-ln-chief; who treats with con
tempt all opinions not in accordance with
his own.
"In spite of the advices of men whose
knowledge of the Island, physically and
otherwise, placed them in a position to be
his excellency's advisers in such a matter
as the settlement of these people on suit
able lands. Sir Robert Llewellyn located
sixty of the starving families on an un
healthy spot of Amos Vale Land, without
placing at their disposal a foot of cr.lti
vatable land, no rations, and at a time of
the year when the prospect of their obtain
ing a sufficient etnplo.v ment for a livelihood
was the faintest. The result Is that many
of these people, weakneed by constant hun
ger, have fallen easy victims of the mala
ria that lingers In the stagnant pool near
which they have been lodged.
"Nor are these the only batch of refugees
, thus deprived of the human comforts which
belong to them out of the relief funds that
were subscribed by a sympathizing world
on their behalf. Others, though better lo
cated, are also suffering from want of food,
the employment afforded on the estates
near by being Inadequate to keep them,
and there are until now large numbers of
these half-naked laborers still living under
the temporary shelters at Colonarle, and
under dirty, tattered tents which were
erected In the center of Barrouallie for
over a twelve month. These temporary
shelters are harbingers of disease and im
morality.
"In the face of all this misery, a sum of
$125,(XX) to the credit of the Soufrlere relief
fund was recently remitted from this gov
ernment to England, at a cost of $1,000, to
be Invested, It Is said, 'for the permanent
interest of the colony," as if the work of
relieving immediate distress had been com
pleted."
The Sentry expresses the hope that its
exposure of the situation in St. Vincent
may lead to the matter being taken up in
the British parliament.
Complained of Teams.
Mrs. S. M. Chisholm of 1349 Q street re
cently complained to the Commissioners
that a colored man keeps a number of
teams stationed opposite her house. The
man has an express ofHce opposite and
claims he has a right to stand his team
there. The matter has been taken to the
Police Court and is under advisement by
Judge Kimball.
Automobile Examining Board.
The automobile examining board, ap
pointed by the District Commissioners, will
hold Its first session for the examination of
applicants for permits to run horseless ve
hicles Tuesday evening. August 11, at 8
o'clock, in room 27 at the District building.
Subsequent meetings will be held as often
as the requests for examination and license
demand. s
Globe Printing Co. May Intervene.
In connection with the proceedings for an
accounting and the appointment of a re
ceiver instituted by J. F*. M. McCormick
against J. M. A. Watson. W. R. Lapham
and the District of Columbia Justice Prltch
ard today signed an order permitting the
Globe Printing Company to intervene.
The Intervenor claims that the sum of
$li;Ui8 Is due it from McCormick, Watson
and Lapham. doing business as the News
Publishing Company, for labor in printing,
trimming, folding and general press work.
Held on Suspicion.
A young man named Frank Robinette
was arrested this afternoon by Detectives
Parham and O'Brien and taken to police
headquarters to be held on suspicion. Some
days ago Dr. Luerssen of Brookland com
plained of the loss of a diamond ring worth
$125 and told the detectives he thought
that Robinette might be able to explain
the transaction. When placed under ar
rest the young man denied the charge and
said that the doctor had given him the
ring. The case will be further investi
gated.
Peacemaker Gets Hurt.
George E. Suit of 1307 South Capitol
street was taken to the Casualty Hospital
last night suffering from the loss of three
teeth, a fracture of the nose and a num
ber of cuts and bruises about the face. It
is alleged that he received his Injuries
while attempting to act as peacemaker
during a row in which several men partici
pated near New Jersey avenue and M
street southeast. James Summers was ar
rested as one of the men who had taken
part In the affair, but the Case could not
be tried in the Police Court today. The
police expect to make another arrest be
fore the case is heard.
Mountaineering in America.
From the New York World.
Two members of the American Alpine
Club have Just conquered Mount Goodslr,
chief peak of the Otter Jail Range In the
Canadian Rockies. They report the ascent
very difficult and the height of the hitherto
virgin summit as nearly 12.000 feet.
The usefulness of mountain climbing may
be questioned. But since adventurous men
will doubtless persist in Indulging in It, pa
triotic Americans will be pleased to reflect
that their continent affords opportunities
for new conquests for many years to come.
Switzerland does not. Not only has every
mountain there been 1 climbed, but It is
scarcely possible even to make a "record"
by seeking out a new-path to some fa
miliar subpeak. The- Swiss Alpiniste are
driven abroad?to the Himalayas, where
Mummery found his oft-courted death; to
the Caucasus; to the Andes.
Upon the North American continent, from
Alaska to Mexico, are almost uncounted
lofty peaks which have never been ascend
ed. and many that have never even been
named. In Washington, in California, 1 &
Colorado are several grand summits that
rise above 14,000 feet to fellowship with
Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, while the
Kreat Alaskan chain that culminates in an
altitude of almost 20.000 feet in St. Elias
surpasses in grandeur as in height any
thing that Switzerland has to offer in the
way of neck-breaking possibilities.
Smoke Blight on Chicago.
Prom the Chicago Record-Herald.
It would be difficult to convince the
stranger approaching Chicago from the
country that this city is located on the
shores of a great inland sea, and that over
its roof tops sweeps a never-failing, health
laden breeze, purifying the atmosphere and
clearing the outlines of a great metropolis.
With a dense cloud of smoke hovering
over it and a curtain of soot obscuring the
view of the traveler as he neared the city
the stranger would listen with incredulous
ears to the story of Chicago's wonderful
civic spirit and enterprise. He would find
it hard to believe that this city was favor
ed by location and by nature with every
thing calculated to make It the most de
lightful city in America. He could only
be impressed with these facts after he had
penetrated the veil of smoke and survey
ed through "the thickening gloom," the
matchless lake front skirting the city for
miles with its measureless possibilities for
beautifying the city and for purifying its
air The sense of coolness after coming 1
from St. Louis or New York would be
grateful to his parched skin, but he would
marvel at the patience of a people who
must fill their lungs with soot In order to
feel "the glorious lake breeze."
