Washington, P. C. August. . 8
' Elizabeth , City,; Hertford, Edenton,
PlyfSjuth, Washington, Greenville,
Williamstown, Ahoskie, New Bern and
Goldsboro will be the itinerary of
Surgeon Henry R. Carter, of the
" United' States public health service,
who will make a tour of East Caro
lina towns investigating mosquito con
ditions and suggesting methods of
eradication. His itinerary was an
nounced, following a conference with
Representative Small.
Elizabeth, City gets the first visit,
which will be next Monday, the 11th.
BfTcarter will spend from two days
to a week in each place. Consequently
the, dates of his other visits are in
definite. Dr. Carter will investigate the va
rieties of mosquitbs, their breeding
places, their relation to malaria and
will formulate suggestions to the mu
nicipal authorities by which they can
eradicate the mosquitos and grad
ually eliminate malaria. He ex
presses the opinion that in two years
ach community can reduce the num
ber of malarial cases by 90 per cent.
At the conclusion of his visit to each
community he will deliver a lecture
to the profession and citizens, illus
trated by stereoptican views.
Surgeon Carter is one of the well
known experts in the United States
on malaria. He was the chief divi
sion commander under Colonel Gor
gas in the sanitation of the Canal
zone, having charge of the work of
ridding the zone of malaria and yel
low fever by exterminating the mos
quito. Mr. Small expresses the opinion
' that the result of his visit will be to
so educate these respective commu-
nitieg .as to' enable them to control
this preventable disease, and that the
good work thus instituted will spread
to the oher towns and the rural
communities...
Dr. W. S. Rankin, secretary of the
State Board of Health, is 90-operating
actively in this work oi sanitation
with Surgeon Carter. In addition,
the mayors and the health superin
. tendents in each of the above towns
have indicated by letters ,tp..f he sur
geon general their keen Jinterest
this important public service.
This work could not have been in
stituted without the sanction of Sur
geon General Rupert Blue. From its
-inception he has exhibited intense in
terestand satisfaction, in the per-,
f ormance of his service.

New York, Aug. 8. The anti-Tarn
many Fusion ticket for the municipal
election next November will have a
solid front, following the announce
ment by District Attorney Whit
man that he will accept renomina.
tion on the Fusion ticket and make
the race along with John Purroy Mit
chel and George McAneny. All three
men were candidates for the Fusion
Mayoralty nomination. Mitchel won
it. McAneny then was named for
President of the Board of Aldermen
and Whitman was renominated for
District Attorney. Whitman, being
a Republican, there was some doubt
as to whether he would remain on the
ticket with Mitchel, Democratic ap
pointee of President Wilson as Collector
of the Port.
The Fusionists were overjoyed at
the announcement by Whitman, wRich
followed a conference he held with his
friends. The Fusion leaders now believe
that 'with a solid, front tr ey will "give
Tammany the hardest fight the Tiger

SEGREGATION
Baltimorean Has Matter Up Which
Is Receiving Much
Attention.
MANY CITIES INTERESTED
Clinton Man To Offer Appropri
ate Bill At Special Session
Of Legislature.
Baltimore, Md., August 8.
That a number of cities throughout
the South are exceedingly interested
in the race segregation proposition in
Baltimore, and are watching every
move in the matter here is indicated
by the letters that are being received
at the City Hall by Dr. Horace E.
Flack, head of the Department of
Legislative Reference.
Several cities in Virginia, North Caro
lina, South Carolina and Georgia have
passed segregation measures since the
question was first agitated here in 1909,
and their officials have asked Dr.
Flack to advise them of the action
of the courts in test cases.
Col. George L. Peterson, of Clinton,
N. C, informs Dr. Flack that he pro
poses to offer a State wide race segrega
tion bill at a special session of the Stat e
Legislature in September. Copies of
the West and Dashiell ordinances
were sent h'm and the opinion of the
Court of Appeals on the West measure
will be forwarded to Clinton as soon
at it is filed in Annapolis. Copies
of the decision will also be sent broad
cast throughout the South, in compli
ance with requests that have reached
Dr. Flack from many places.
Among the cities that have passed
segregation measures since Baltimore
acted are Richmond, Norfolk, Roanoke,
Danville, Ashland, Va. : Greenville,
S. C; Atlanta, Ga., and Winston-Salem,
N. C. Many of these cities followed
the Dashiell ordinance. Others accepted
the West ordinance, just declared in
valid by the Court of Appeals.
The Virginia Legislature has enacted
a law authorizing all cities in the State
to segregate the races.
Richmond seems to have the most
satisfactory ordinance on the subject.
In a letter received at the City Hall
from H. R. Polard, City Attorney of
Richmond, the statement is made that
the law "has given great satisfaction
to the community and is having the
effect of securing solidarity of each race
in its particular district."
Mr. Pollard says, however, that some
complaint has been heard in Richmond,
and that some efforts to test its con
stitutionality have been provoked. "Yet
to the present time," Mr. Pollard
writes, "there has been no organized
effort to that end."
Atlanta followed the West ordinance
but omitted the provision dealing
with schoolhouses and churches in
segregated districts. Officials of Atlanta
and Norfolk have written to Dr. Flack
for copies of the decision, of the Court
of Appeals.
' Dr. Flack has also been advised that
segregation measures have been int O
duced in St. Louis and Kansas City,
Mo.

INTERESTED NEXT
IN THE HOUSE
When Currency Bill Comes Up
Monday Attention Of Country
Will Be Focussed There.
HOUSE NOW MARKING TIME
Next Week, Along With Senate. It
Will Be Making An Admin
istration Measure.
Washington, Aug.8. Now that
the Glass or administration cur
rency bill has been reported by
the majority of the Democratic mem
bers of the banking and curr3ncy
committee for consideration by the
Democratic caucus of the House of
Representatives next Monday, interest
in the situation at the House wing of
the Captiol revives. We shall soon
have the spectacle of both ends of the
Congress working on big administra
tion measures, a sight that has not
been seen for some time. The House
has been doing practically nothing as
a whole since it sent the Underwood
tariff bill over to the Senate, because
it had to wait for the banking and
currency committee Democrats to re
port out a proposition.
When the Underwood bill reached
the Senate it became the Underwood
Simmons bill. When the Glass bill
r aches the Senate it will become the
Glass-0 wen bill. The first name of
the hyphenated designation is that of
the chairman of the House committee
reporting the measure, and the second
name is that of the chairman of the
corresponding committee in the Sen
ate. That is why the present tariff
is known as the Payne-Aldrich tariff
j . i
ana tne present emergency currency
act as the Vreeland-Aldrich act.
Until this Congress the finance com
mittee of the Senate handled both the
tariff and the currency, so that the
chairman of that committee had a
double chance of getting his name en
graved upon the tablets of the nation's
nisotry- though as a compensation,
the House committee chairman has
nearly always had the "advertising",
when the public has disregarded the
hyphenated term and insisted on using
one name. For instance, it was the
McKinley tariff, the Wilson tariff, the
Dingley tariff; and it is the Vreeland
emergency currency act.
Aldrich seems to have been about
the only Senator whose name has been
much used by the public in its un
hyphenated designation of a tariff law.
That fact is to some extent accounted
for by the former senator's unpopu
larity his name was played up to
kill" and did kill at least one very
big measure, if not one very big party.
Not to digress too much, however, it
may be said that the minority Demo
cratic opposition to the Glass bill
made less impression upon the meas
ure in committee than was at one time
expected, and there is small reason to
doubt that the caucus, after a noisy
session, will put the party seal upon
the measure substantially as it has
come from the committee. That means
the overwhelming adoption of the bill
by the House and its transmission to
the Senate with the impetus behind
it in addition to the tremendous force
pf the President's leadership.
Few who observe the administration
at close hand will contend that it has
not made mistakes, both of omission
and commission; bat it is generally
realized that the severe confidence
and' power, the sheer cool genius for
management and direction, which Mr.
Wilson has been exhibiting as Chief
Executive have not been equalled at
the White House for a great many
years. Opposition seems to crumble
before him,' a"rt4. those who have stud
ied the course 4f things' since March
are inclined ti discount the grumb
lings" and threats now heard in the
Senate1 bs to ths Unwisdom of pushing
. measure, afr tMe' present session. The
uuiuw'.'Kyr ocuaie is 1101 wuac u
used j0c'. . It has a tendency since
the ameiftfment for popular elections
of Senato; "as passed, to outdo the
House in j ! tig to what ltTbeheves
to be publUi.. pinion. , Congress is very
much peeved with the president, but it
isn't prepared to defy him.

FOR HOME PRODUCTS.
Wilsons Believe In Patronizing The
Stores Around Home.
Windsor, Vt., Aug. 8. Mrs. Wilson
wife of the President, is setting an ex
ample here that local storekeepers
wish other summer residents would
follow. Since the arrival of the Wil
son family practically everything in
the way of household supplies has
been purchased in Windsor. Most
of the summer residents have their
groceries and household supplies ship
ped from Boston or New York un
der the impression that they can get
better quality and variety. The Wil
sons hadn't been in town two days
before Mrs. Jeffries, the housekeeper,
began what are now daily visits to
the local butcher shop and grocery
and the stalls where truck farmers
sell fresh vegetables and green goods.
ELOPERS' BOAT IS
BEATEN BY TRAIN
IN RACE FROM ALBANY TO NEW
YORK LOCOMOTIVE TOO
FAST FOR STEAMER.
New York, Aug. 8. A Hudson river
steamboat with Cupid as pilot ran a
race from Albany with a steam train
on which Parental Ire was a passen
ger yesterday and the boat lost.
Charles Martin, Jr., of Mechanics
villc, and his tearful 18-year-old cou
sin, Rosa Mastrenamo, with whom
he eloped, were on the boat and be
cause the elder Martin was on the
train the elopers went to Elizabety
Street Police Station instead of the
City Hall.
Charles Martin, father of the youth,
charged his son with stealing $100
from his mother in order to induce
the police to arrest the pair when
they stepped from the steamer, Charles
W. Morse. But the boy denied the
charge.
When they were brought before
Magistrate Barlow, in the Tombs Po
lice Court, the father withdrew the
charge of theft and persuaded the
magistrate to hold Charles for abduc
tion. He said his son was 19 years
old and the girl 17. The father said
that his son's real name is Mastren
amo and that the boy and girl were
first cousins, their fathers being broth
ers. That, he said, was the objection
of both families to the marriage.
Martin was held in $1,000 bail for
abduction and the girl was held in
half that amount on a vagrancy
charge, pending the arrival of her
father and officers from Mechanics-
ville.
CONFIDENT OF CONVICTION.
Judge's Rulling Gives Prosecution
, In Diggs Case Confidence
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 8. The
taking of testimony in the trial of
Maurice Diggs on the charge of having
conspired to violate the white sla
law, proceeded today with the pros
ecution proclaiming absolute confidence
of conviction, by reason of Judge
Vanfleef's ruling yesterday on the
question of the character of women
in such cases. "If Diggs bought the
girl's transportation to Reno, the
girl's antecedents and manner of her
going whether publicly and openly or
secretly and clandestinely, can .have
no bearing on the case," said the judge
Even if women were public prostitutes,
he said, that would have nothing to
do with the issue.

VIRGINIA
BOATMAN
HELD FOR COURT
Owner Of The Yacht Gracee Was
Required To Give A Fifty
Dollar Bond.
MAYOR HOLDS INTOXICANTS
Solicitor Advises Officials To Re
tain Possession Of The Whis
key And Beer.
George Marshall, owner and captain
of the yacht Gracee of Gloucester
county, Va., on board of which Chief
of Police C. Lupton and Policeman A.
L. Bryan Tuursday found more than a
thousand bottles of beer and twenty
five or more gallons of whiskey, was
arrainged before Mayor A. H. Bangert
yesterday morning on a warrant charg
ing him with violating the prohibition
laws of North Carolina by having more
than a certain amount of intoxicant
in his possession.
The defendant was represented by
R. B. Nixon while Attorney D. E.
Henderson looked after the intcre flA
of the State. Quire a number of wit
ncsses were examined and they told f
seeing the liquor on Marshall's boat as
she lay at the dock at the foot cf
Craven street, and of the fact that
the vessel's engine was out of commis
sion and that this was being repaired.
The taking of evidence consumed
some time and the arguments in the
case were deferred until yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. At that hour
the session of court was re-convened.
R. B. Nixon made the first speech and
for more than an hour endeavored to
convince Mayor Bangert that he had
no right to hold Marshall. Mr. Hender
son followed with a speech which con
sumed a camparatively short timej,
but in which he set forth numerous
reasons why the Mayor should hold
the defendant, and at the conclusion
of the hearing Mayor Bangert found
probable cause and bound him over
to the next term of Craven county
Superior Court under a bond of fifty
dollars. Several hours elapsed before
Marshall secured this bond with VV. A.
Mcintosh as security.
This case is an unusual one and more
than usual interest has been manifested
in it. Marshall claims that he was on
his way to Florida where he was to have
used his craft as a pleasure boat and
that the whiskey and beer he had on
board was intended for sale in those
waters. He says that he has a govern
ment .license to sell whiskey and beer
and that he has not sold any of the
wet goods at this port.
While attempting to go through
the Inland Waterway Canal the engine
of his vessel broke down and he was
forced to come to New Bern for repairs.
He arrived here Monday and Thursday
afternoon his vessel was raided. Wheis
Marshall waslreleased on bond Mayor
Bangert told him that the whiskey
would be held until court. This Marshall
very vehemently objected to, even
going so far as to say that if the whiskey
was held that the authorities could
hold him and his boat also.
While local attorneys advised Mayor
Bangert that he had a perfect right
to hold the whiskey, he thought it
best to get the opinion of Solicitor '
Charles L. Abernethy and last night
had a talk with him over the telephone
at his home in Beaufort, and was told
by the Solicitor that he had acted wisely
in the matter and by all means to hold
the whiskey and beer.
A bond of fifty dollars seems very
light for an offense of this kind but
Mayor Bangert took into consideration
the fact that the several hundred
dollars worth of wet goods would help
to keep Marshall here until the nex(j(
term of court.
