THANK NEW5PAPUER.
Resolutions of thanks to the news
paper reporters who have "covered"
the situation from the beginning, and
to the newspapers themselves for
their fair treatment, were passed
unanimously.
Records of hearings on the District
appropriation bill were produced by
Mahany last night. These records
contained statements by Commission
ers Brownlow and Kuts in which they
declared the District followed the
navy yard wage scale in setting the
wage schedule for District per diem
employes.
"The utterances of the Commission
er are eenelusive proof of the truth
fulness o the statements of the con
ciliators 5tat the Commissioners were
breakinr their pledge by refusing to
follow the Navy Yard scale as a stan
dard." Maheny said.
A resolution of thanks to Secretary
of Labor Wilson for appointing these
three conciliators to the task of ef
feeting an amicable settlement of the
wage dispute was passed. Another
resolution thanking the conciliators
was adopted.
The men have been assured by the
conciliators that they will get just
treatment by the Commissioners when
the wage scale is reviewed August
20. They have been urged to trust in
the Comnnissioners.
A strike of District employes will
come only if the District Commis
sioners, when they review the wage
scale, refuse to revise it upward.
Local 09, of the Federal Employee'
Union. an association of municipal
employes affiliated with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, also has de
cided to wait until after August 20.

His Faith h
Wife 'Dear
Of Sleepi
Unconscious for eight wee
sickness, Mrs. Elsie Marie Ni
.meyer, of Bethesda, Md., is a
one of the most remarkable e
tion of District physicians.
Mre. Nlemeyere ease was eharaeter
ised sat Washingte sanitarium. Ta
kerns Park, where she was bedridden
for siatees weeks, as the meet
bafflag form of the sleeping death
known to the medisal world.
Ner recovery was brought tbeut
largely through a erious coisei
dance of bina faith en the part of
her husband, after physicians. fail
ing for weeks to combaat the sleepil
noness thsta Crept ever her, despaired
of her life.
ROAD OF CVU" IN TEMS.
Some time age Mr. i mer read
in The Washington Timese the ease
of the eldest sea of the King apd
Queen of Spaia. who was cured by a
physio-therapeutie after twelve years
of blindness and dumbasse from
birth.
When physicians shook their heads
and told him that his wife had a,
possible chance of recovery. Mr. Nie
meyer pleaded and pleaded that she
be given the same kind of treatment.
Finally they yielded to his entreaties
and a physio-therapeutist was called
into the case.
Through the application of the
sponal adjustment method, the pa
tient gradually began to show signa
of coming out of her long trance.
Completely paralysed from head to
toot. Mrs. Niemeyer finally became
able to sit up in bed and take more
staple forms of nourishment. In an
other two months she was able to
leave the hospital fully recovered.
STUADELY GAINS WUIOUT.
When Mrs. Niemeyer went to the
hospital last March. after an illness
that caused much anxiety to physi
cans. she weighed 145 pounds. Soon
after returning to her home she
weighed 162 pounds. and, according
to her husband, is gaining weight.
One of the most terrifying results
of sleeping sickness to those who
have recovered is insanity or'other
forms of mental and physical weak
ness. It is remarable in the ease of
Mrs. Niemeyer that she is in better
health today than she has ever been
before, and physicians say that the
disease has left absolutely no mark.
Soon after her arrival at Washing
ton Asylum. Mrs. Nienteyer began to
show the first symptoms of the dis
ease that is still'baffling the medical
world. Unconsciousness crept upon her
gradually and for eight weeks she
slept, while physicians despaired of
saving her life.
PRIEDs SUOOW'SThD MUNEDY.
During the eprly stages of her ill
ness Mr. Niemeyer was told by a fel
low employe of the Western Union
Telegraph Company in Washington
that his own wife had been cured of
sleeping sickness by the spinal ad
justment method of treatment. The
name of the patient was Mrs. John
Wright. Coupled with the news dis
patch in the Washington Times tell
ing of the recovery of the little
Spanish prince. Mr. Niemeyer became
greatly impressed. The more phy
sicians despaired of his wife's re
covery, the more convinced the hus
band became that she could be cured
by the same. method. Mrs. Niemeyer
declares that her husband's faith as
much as anything else was responsi
ble for the fact that she is alive and
well today.
During her long unconsciousness.
Mrs. Niemeyer was fed liquids, con
sisting chiefly of fruit juices. Since
her recovery she has had a ravenous
appetite. For a time she ate six
meals a day. Whether this is one of
the effects which the disease left
upon her or whether it is a natural
craving for food after her long fast.
Mr. Niemeyer does not know.
MORTALITY 9 P1R CNRT.
Her case was diagnosed as a pe
culiar form of sleeping sickness, re
garded as practically incurable. The
mortality records in her case are 85
per cent, greater even than the mor
tality rate in Asiatic cholera.
The case of Mrs. Niemeyer, accord
ing to District physicians, is more re
markable than the recovery of other
patients who have suffered from the
disease. Out of a list of twenty-eight
recent cases of sleeping sickenss in
the District, only four recoveries were
announced by the District Health Of
Acee. Baltimore is reporting numnerous
casee and physicians at Johns Hopkins
University IHospita~l declare that the
ity has averaged six cases csh week
for the last two years. Staff physi
cans frankly admit that thle disease
aa bif fled them and that they are
working In the dark beth as to its
ause and treatment. Opeialists
have held frequent conferences ever
the disease, but no specidec treatmeat
has been voivd.
There have been several other eases
in the Eat, it is understood, where
he spinal adjustment method has ot.
feted a cure, but like the case of
Mre. Niemeyer, recovery Is maid to
hare been nothing short of a miracle..

While Ch
Approximately 700.000.000 coins
pass through her hands cvery year.
She receives a salary of only $2.400
annually. She has blue eyes. Her
name is Mary. So you know the
money is perfectly safe.
The woman in question is Miss
Mary O'Reilley. To her friends she
is Just Mary, but to the hundreds of
clerks in her office she is Miss
O'Reilly. acting director of the Unit

Whenever Ray Baker. director.
feels like going fishing or sojourn
ing in the Blue Ridge mountains, or
finds it necessary to leave the city on
business. Miss O'Reilly takes his
place and assumes control of all the
operations of the mint. She is given
full authority.
Think what that means. Have you
ever been in a United States mint,
and roved about the vaults, seen the
cakes of gold and silver, watched the
shining coins fly off the machines?
Have you watched the d' .~,ners at
work? And haven't you been im
pressed with the great pains they
take in turning out a finished prod
uct?
DIRECTS TMREE MINTING PLANTS
Imagine three such plants and eight
assay offices throughout the country
going full blast and yourself sitting
at a desk in the Treasury Department
in Washington directing operations.
and you will have a good Idea of Miss
O'Reilley's job-when the director is
absent.
There are three mints, and Miss
O'Reilley can put her finger on each
one of them when it's necessary and
an order must be sent out. There's
one in Philadelphia, one in Denver,
and one in San Francisco.
The workings of the mint are com
piex and continuous.. The vast ma
chipery is never idle. The output for
the fiscal year ending June 30. 1920,
was 734,000,000 coins. it is the work
of the mint to supply the country
with coins, the pennies, bright
nickies, dimes, etc.
And it Is Miss O'Reilley's office in
the Treasury Department that ol-ders
the number of coins the mint shall
manufacture or coin for the fiscal
year. The Treasury or the United
States Treasurer sends in the re
quired amount of money necessary
for circulation in the United States
for the coming year to the director's
office. And then the order is put in.
It sounds very simple, but Miss
O'Reilley says, "It's a very deep
subject."

Numerous complaints from persons
contributing to the District suffrage
fund have been Mied with the investi

state that they have contributed to
the fund and have received no report
of how the money is being used.
"Ninety per cent of the effort of
the National Press Commitee for Dis

funds." said Mr. Leese.
$ULLRTIR STARTS DISCUSSION.
The reading of a bulletin by the
Merchants and Manufacturers' Asso

in the discussion. An investigation
by the joint civic committee, made up
of nine members of the Chainber of

James B. Henderson and Ross P.

"Any attncs on the Washington

CONSPIRACY. SAYS JONES.
Appealing to the Central Labor

these schemes of the foes of local

themselves to be used. by a few in

Colonel Jones branded as "false" a
charge made by M. A. Leese, at the
