THE CONFERENCE OF AMERICAN STATES MAY DISCUSS FEAsIHIL- iTY OF ESTABLISHING INTER- NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE.

Washington, October 12.-one of the matters. which it is expected will receive attention at the coming sessions of the international conference of American states to be held in the City of Mexico this month, is the establishment of an international health service.
 Some time ago the American delegates to the conference requested Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital service. to submit suggestions and in response thereto he sent to former Sena- tor H. G. Davis, chairman of the United States delegation. a provisional plan enti- tied International Sanitation Pan- American Republics"
 The plan contemplates an international agreement upon measures for the elimi- and towns which are or have been epi- demic haunts of the disease. n
 Surgeon General Wyman proposes the appointment of an International sanitary commission to consist of five members, no two of whom are to be residents of the same republic, the duty of which shall be to visit infected towns or seaports and report on needed sanitary measures.
 The report Is to be filed with the Fresi- dent of the republic where the infected port is located and with the bureau of American republics. It then becomes the duty of the authorities to put into force the measures recommended. To insure execution of these measures, Surgeon General Wyman proposes the imposition sells arrived from infected ports where sanitary projects are not completed with in one year from date of the report by the commission

Former Charges Gov Je|ks With Attempting to Proclaim
 Himself Dictator
IS ABlY ANSWERED BY LOMAX
ALarge AssembIage Listen to the Two Speakers-Audlepce Show Over wheImlng Sentiment for
 New Constitution.

Montgomery. October -(Special)-A joint debate on the question of ratifica- ton of the new constitution between Hon. W. H. Denson of Birmingham and Tennent Iomax of Montgomery was the attraction at McDonald's opera house to- night which served to bring out an audi enoe of about seven hundred voters from the counties of Montgomery, Autauga and Elmore
 It was Densons appointment to speak against the constitution, but in accepting the invitation to speak here the Birming- ham orator issued a challenge to meet any or all corners from the ratification side. MT. Lomax accepted the invitation and as this brought together two of the strongest stump speakers in the State much interest was manifested.
 Gwine to Eat 'Em Up.
 A rainstorm cut down the attendance. The anti-ratificationists were sure that they had secured speaker to fairly eat 'em up'' any man from the op- position. but tonights contest proved to the contrary. Both men made strong speeches. but the Montgomerian had the best of the argu- ment, though at some disadvantage in the division of time. Colonel Denson opened in forty minutes and Lomax fol- lowed in an hour and quarter. Denson closing in thirty-five.
 The first part of Colonel Denson,s speech was devoted almost entirely to an abuse of the suffrage plan. saying that it would not only perpetuate fraud but would serve to put the negro into power. He was severe in his criticism of Cover nor Jellxs speech at Huntsville in which the Governor asserted that he would ap- point honest men as registrars and thus guarantee honest elections.
 ProcIaIms Himself Dictator.
 He charged that the Governor was at- tempting to proclaim himself dictator.
 MT. Lomax was rather severe on Den sons convention record, quoting from the latter's speech accepting the temporary chairmanship of the famous convention of 1899 to show that practically every thing in the new constitution was exact ly a. lad been advocated by Denson on that occasion.
 Mir. Lomax fully answered the argu- ments set forth by Colonel Denson and the applause from the audience tended te shor its overwhelming sentiment fir favor of the new constitution.
 In his rejoinder Colonel Denson ex- plained his speech of two years ago by stating that he did not belong to the family of "once a fool always a fool" He entered into new arguments during the rejoinder, to which MT. Lomax had nc opportunity to reply.

MISSOURIANS
 HONOR JEFFERSON
ST. LOUIS CLUB EREcTs A MoNu- MENT TO MEMORY OF THE clTI- ZEN, STATESMAN AND PATRIOT AT MONTICELLO, VA.

Richmond, Va, October f2.-Two hun- dred and fifty members of the Jefferson Club of St. Louis, with great throng of citizens from Albemarle county and other nearby points, assembled today at Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson, near Charlottesville, Va, to lay their tribute of devotion at the shrine of the great statesman and patriot.
 The occasion was primarily due to the Missouri organization which bears the name of the sage of Monticello. They came to the Old Dominion State to do honor to their great sexemplar and to unveil at the home of Jefferson beauti- full memorial shaft O. red Missouri gram ite. which they brought with them.
 In years gone by Virginia had contrib uted to Missouri gray granite shaft which formerly marked the grave of Jeff ferson and now stands on the campus of the Missouri State University at Colum- bia, Mo. The new monument now offered as a graceful token of appreciation for this priceless gift bears the following inscription:
 Thomas Jefferson, citizen, states . man, patriot; the greatest advocate of human liberty, opposing special prfvi- %1ege; he loved and trusted the people. The father and executor of the . Louisiana purchase. Erected by the Jefferson Club of St. . . Louis, Mo-, on their pilgrimage Octo- Der 12, 1902. To express their devotion to his . principles.
 The inscription of the shaft which now stands on the campus of the University of Virginia has become world-famous be- cause 1t was written by Thomas Jefferson himself and because 1t shows the achieve ments which he considered the most meritorious of Is long life. The inscrfp- tion on that stone reads:
  Here was buried Thomas Jeffer- son. author of the declaration of in- dependence, of the stautute of vir- . and father of the University of vir- ginia. .
 The authenticity of the gravestone Is undoubted. When on April IS, 1882, con- gress appropriated s1O.000 for a monument over Jefferson's grave the Misses Ru- dolph, residuary delegates of Thomas Jefferson's estate, presented the origi- nal shaft to the University of Missouri It was unveiled July 4, 1885. on the uni- versity campus with ceremonies in which United States Senator Vest, Thomas F. Bayard, then secretary of state, and other prominent Americans participated.

WILT DISEASE OF COTTON.
Expert In Alabama to investigate the

Montgomery. October 12.-(Special.) )-W. A. ortenk. assistant pathologist in the bureau of plant industry of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. is here to investigate the wilt disease of cotton, which has been the cause of much injury in some sections of Alabama as we'll as in other states. He hopes to obtain variety of cotton resistant to the wilt
 The disease may be recognized. Mir Or ten says, by the blackening of the inside of the stem of diseased plants. It occurs usually in scattered patches in the fields, which increase in size from year to year until they involve the whole field. Land once diseased always remains so. and it is this feature which makes the disease so much to be dreaded.

Believed That His Visit Was a Protest Against Presidents
 Southern Policy,
DECLINES TO QUOTE REPLY
Southern Republicans Trying to En- list Prominent Men of Their Party to Place Their Side Before
 the President.

Washington, October 2.-(Special )-Dis- trict Attorney Vaughan of Birmingham was among the Presidents callers today. He stated that the purpose of his visit was simply to pay his respects to the President, this being the first oppor- tunity.
 It is believed here that MT. vaughans visit was virtually a protest against the Presidents Southern policy, of appointing Democrats to office In fact Mir. Vaughan says he frankly told the chief executive he thought the offices should go to the Republicans and while Judge Jones' ap- pointment was personally an. judicially all that could be desired. at the same time such positions in a Republican ad- ministration ought to be bestowed upon members of the regular organization.
 Would Not Quote President.
 MT. Vaughan declines to quote the ex- ecutive's response to this line of argu- ment. but it is safe to say in view of the fTe5lueuJ Tectnt oxpFosbiOho oiA ttic Suu- ject that 1t was not of a nature entirely satisfactory to the Republican organiza- ton.
 It is understood here that the Southern Republican leaders are actively engaged trying to enlist prominent members of the party in Republican States to place their side of the case before the President.
 Met Little Success.
 So far they have met with little success owing to the unwillingness of men. high in the council of the party to place them selves in an attitude of criticising at this date what might be termed liberty of the President. Later when the competition for national convention delegates becomes acute the Southern Republicans may find an outspoken champion. For the present, however, it looks as if they are to work out their own destiny.
