Notwithstanding the positive an
nouncement by the committee that the
statement furnished the press covered
all the proceedings of the conference

to secure supervision of mining in West
Virginia was decided upon.
In furtherance of this determination,
the officials present pledged themselves
to send into this field full quota of
the best organizers in their several as

After adjournment in response to the
question whether per cent. assess

made President Dolan of the Pittsburg
district said he thought such action
would eventually be taken. He would
not admit that the matter had been
considered at to-nights conference.

MYSTERIOUS DISEASE EXPLAINED
Ivy Poisoning Contracted by Handling the
Brown-Tail Moth

Boston, July 9-The mysterious dis
ease which has recently afflicted resi-
dents of Somerville, and which baf-
fled the physicians, has been explained.
The victims seemed to have been af-
fiicted by ivy poisoning, the hands and
arms reddening and swelling, but as a
rule they could prove that they had
not touched ivy. The employees Of the
Gypsy Moth commission say that the
whole trouble comes from touching the
brown-tail moth, the new pest recently
discovered in that vicinity. The COM
mission is fighting the moth, and en-
ployes are killing them at the rate OF
100000 a day.
