Smallpox Case Reported as City Seeks Source of Infection
A new smallpox patient, 29 year old nurse Miss Jennie Hawthorne of 1008 Twenty fourth Street NW, was hospitalized after the city had been free of the disease for weeks. Health officials have not yet determined how she was infected. The patient was moved to the smallpox hospital on Saturday night and her residence was disinfected and quarantined. In other items, a loan of desks and furniture to the Junior National Republic was recommended by Property Clerk Simms to furnish a room for about seventy pupils. Contributions to the Firemen's Coffee Fund totaled 12 dollars from Dr H C Yarrow and Mr Harrison of the Naval Observatory.

Object to grade crossings in Maryland Avenue debate
R Harrison Johnson, chair of the Southwest Citizens Association railroad committee, petitions the District Commissioners to deny permission for four temporary tracks across Maryland Avenue between Ninth and Temth streets and Ninth and C streets southwest. He cites risks to life, children, existing grade crossings, and increased smoke, cinders, and noise, arguing the plan could amount to confiscation of private property and create two deadly grade crossings near the Ninth Street crossing, worsened by nearby freight traffic and a historic fatal accident. The association questions the railroad company’s stated use and urges the commission to refuse the permit.
