Chicago, 111., Nov. 6. — Conserving infant life by the agency of prompt registration of births is a subject that will be gone into thoroughly by the American Association for the Study and Preservation of Infant Mortality at its meeting to be held in Chicago November 16th to 18th. Registration, it is urged, furnishes the best means of ascertaining the in fantile death rate and, also gives op portunity to begin immediately to pro tect the health of the infant. The so- called “registration area” at present covers only a small area of the United States. The bureau of census requires I that at least 90 per cent of the births • I in any community be recorded before The practice of mid-wives, the work of visiting nurses, relation of housing, milk depots, agencies and other sub jects as they affect infant mortality will be discussed at the meetings. Edu cators physicians, government officials and others who have given the subject of protecting infant life .their attei^ tion from every section of the United States will be among the speakers. / ' Prominent among them will be Pres ident David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford University; Dr. J. Whiteri^e Williams, dean of* the “Johns Hopkins Medical School; Miss Jane Adams, Chicago, and Miss ’ Ellen C. Babitt, ot the Russell - Sage foundation of child helping. , ’ ' Washington, Nov. 6.—The so-called “barbarities” in Tripoli have been brought to the attention of the American governmeni in such form that declaration of the position ot the state department in the matter now js expected. The subject was broached first in the course of a ver bal statement by the Turkish ambas- ■«ador to Acting Secretary Adee and later in the day in the shape of a i letter. In each case the ambassador, who declared he was acting by express cabled instructions from the govern ment, described in detail the acts at tributed to these Italian troops and protested in the name of humanity agair^ the alleged barbarities in- uiCLeu u^on the helpless women and children and non-combatants by the infuriated Italian soldiery. Barbarity, Not Warfare. By orders given the ambassador appealing to th6 United SCtates to ex ert itself to put a stop to practices that, he declared, were in plain viola tion of the rules of warfare and in contravention of The Hague conven^ tion to which the United States and Italy are parties, Acting Secretary Adee promised to submit the pro test to Secretary Knox, who at present is absent from Washington. The ambassador’s note was based upon a cablegram from the Turkish minister of foreign affairs, in which after reciting the alleged “wholesale execution of a great number of in habitants of Tripoli, perpetrated daily by the Italian military authorities concludes as follows: “I beg you to protest in the most energetic manner to the government to which you are accredited for such crime against humanity committed by the Italians, the sad spectacle of which offers a striking contrast with th« efforts, crowned with success ^d ’admliteii by the ItfniAhs ^eins^ves, that our authorities in Tripoli and Benghazi have not ceased to display in order to safeguard the lives and property of the Italians, as well as other Europeans, and that under the very fire of the enemy and in the midst of a justly indignant and over excited population.” Calls Upon United States. Supplementing this cablegram came another from the Turkish office later in the day which also was trans mitted to the state department. This is regarded as of great importance because it formally demands inter yention by the United States. It reads as follows: “The Italian atrocities in Tripoli being confirmed officially and from every quarter, I beg your excellency fb these inhuman proceedings.” I rep resented in my preceding telegram and to insist upon the neceaisity of prompt and efficacious intervention in order to put an end immediately to these inhuman ,proceedings. Revolutionary Leaders Plan jor a Republic W ithout Bloodshed -- Admiral Sah Cut Off From Base—Man chu Princes in Pitiable State SPEAKER OF PENNSLIVANIA HOUSE DIED SUDDENLY By Associated Press. Pittsburg, Nov. 6.—John F. CoX; speaker of the Pennsylvania house of representatives, died suddenly today at his home in Homestead. Off to Fort McPherson. By Associated Press. San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 6.—The Seventeenth infantry left here in three sections over the Southern Pa cific Railroad today for its station at Fort McPherson, Ga. The eleventh cavalry will leave Tuesday in seven sections for Fort Oglethrope, Ga The twenty-eighth infantry, to take station at Fort Shelling, Minn., will leave as soon as equipment for trans portation arrives. Shanghai, Nov. 6.—The first night after the capitulation of the city to the revolutionist s passed uneventfully. Perfect order was maintained in Shanghai and the outlying districts which constitutes a remarkable fea ture of the government. Li Ping-Shu is the responsible head of the new ad ministration in the native city and suburbs and is now engaged in comple ting his organization. He informed the correspondent that he recognized only the “republic of Han” and would guarantee order. The only disorderly elements, he said, now in China are the former officials, their supporters and * the Manchu troops who would never again be permitted to control. There is reason to believe that the revolutionary sentiment throughout the south strongly favors the uncon ditional abdication of the Emperor and the establishment of an entirely newt regime. Yuan Shi Kai will be repudi ated if he adheres to the Manchus. He might become the head of the govern ment and receive universal support if he separated himself from his form er aliance. There is, however, a grow ing suspicion and distrust of Yuan Hhi Kai. Republic Plans. The present plans for a republic include complete control of the Yang* Tse-Kiang. Admiral Sah is now crip pled and cut off from his base. The revolutionary leaders are determined avoid bloodshed and seciu"e the peaceful capitulation of the Manchua troops in the varione southern towns. Kuau«-Sing, in the Yank-Tse^Delta, arrived in the native city of Shanghai yesterday by motor car .Today he was engaged with other chiefs in a conference. Late last night the rebels succeeded in satisfying the officials of the Nan- king-Shanghai Railway that they were capable of preserving order, and the foreign guard which had been plac ed at the railway station by order of the British consul was withdrawn, the revolutionists taking possession. The entire surroundings of Shanghai including Wu-Sung, are now in rebel hands. Serving out Arms. The serving out of arms continued today. Three loyalist gunboats and one transport, part of Admiral Sah s fleet, put into Shanghai today for pro visions and munitions, ignorant of the fact that the arsenel had changed hands. They are now in the riv^, loyal for the time being, but the am eers of the warships are nervous. Subscriptions are pouring in for the revolutionary cause. , « The revolutionists maintain that no concession on the part of the throne will avail while the Manchus remain in power. A meeting of the Kiang-Su, Ohe- Kiang and Fukien Gentry today Stig matized the National Assembly as not representing the country. Revolution ary proclamations abolish the Likin and land taxes, the maritime customs only being retained. Hanghow, capital of the providence of Che-Kiang, was captured today, the governor being made prisoner, but the Tartar city held out against the rebels for a time. The fighting was furious but did not last long. COX Arraigned FOR X V PARCEL murder By ^ Nov. 6—P- ‘ ' ■ the murder of MiSs Net- By Associated Press. Columbia, S. C..

In the police activity against gambling Captain Cudmore put a ban on womens’ poker parties, in many cases of which it is said the stakes ran into-large sums. { The women in whose homes the games have been played defied the captain to stop them after he had sent detectives around warning them to stop. “I’ll have all the patrol wagons at the station in service today,” he said, “and if I find any games they will be raided, and the players arrest ed and hauled to the station. “I intend to break up these games. In some of them the limit has been so steep that husbands have been se riously embarrassed in making good their wives’ losses.” Peking Reported Capimed Yesteiday By Associated Press.
