STATE SANITARY CONFERENCE.
Several Interesting and Valuable
Papers Read.
Mr.. E. /. Reardon Reelected President.

Columbia, May 29.-The State San,
itary Conference met at 10 O'Clock this
morning and began to conclude the
business for which the meeting was
called. The first paper was upon the
subject of Smallpox and Vaccina-
tion, by President Reardon, who. as
health officer of Sumter, has done
valiant service in holding the disease
in check in that section Of the State.
The general discussion upon this sub
ject showed that smallpox was still q
live issue among the local health
boards of South Carolina, and the
time of the whole session would have
been taken up with smallpox, but foI
the action. of the president in calling
up the next paper.
This was upon the SANITARY Laws
of South Carolina, a. an ably prepared
paper by Attorney General Gunter,
which was read in the writer's una
voidable absence by Assistant Attorney
General Townsend. The following
papers we're read by Dr.. James Evans,
of Florence, upon tuberculosis as a
Communicable Disease, !" and DR.. A.
A. Moore. of Camden, on Rural Hy-
giene.
THE DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
The honors of the day we're again
borne off by Assistant Surgeon Gener-
al Il. D. Geddings, of the United
States public health and marine hos
pital servie, who addressed the Con
ference upon the new subject of the
Prevalence and Geographic Distribu-
ton of Hookworm Disease, based
upon the researches of Oh Wardell
Stiles, Phi D., chief of the division OF
zoology Of the service in Washington.
1t was shown that DR.. Stiles had dis
covered the Intestinal parasite which
causes the anaemia of the "dirt-eat-
ers'' of the. sandhills, and that the
parasite is distinct species from the
European variety. The existence OF
this disease among mill hands, it will
Be remembered, was brought to public
attention in the investigations pub
lished last winter in The News and
Courier by its special correspondent.
Copies of DR.. Stiles valuable mono
graph were distributed among mem
.bers of the Conference, as we're also
reprints of Dr.. Geddings's paper on
The Ely and Mosquito as Carriers of
disease, u
HEARTY THANKS TO DR.. GED-
DINGS.
A resolution was offered by DR..
Green, of Charleston, thanking Dr..
Geddings for his valuable contri bu-
sions to the Conference. DR.. Geddings,
in making acknowledgment of this
recognition of his services, spoke of
the extreme pleasure it always gave
him to return to his old home and re-
new acquaintances with old friends.
Before adjournment Columbia was
selected as the place Of the next an
nual meeting, although Georgetown
and Summerville had their advocates.
The old officers we're reelected for
the ensuing year.
heConference has been a success,
although it was net as we'll attended
as it should have been.
All of the members of the Confer
ence who remained here were taken on
a trolley ride, paying attention, to the
new sewerage system of Columbia.

FEARS SON HAS BEEN DROWNED
Herman Meyer Asks Aid of Police
in Locating Him.

Herman Meyer of No. 400 South Main
street fears his son. August. years old
who disappeared from home las: Friday
morning. has been drowned in the river
He called at the Four Courts yesterday
afternoon and appealed to Sergeant Nc
Glynn of the Central District for a search
by the police.
My wife will be unable to stand the sus-
pense much longer" said Meyer. III our
boy has been drowned We would rather
know it than to be constantly worrying
about him.
August never had gone away from home
before. Michael Henson. a teamster, has
informed us that he saw him at Gasconade
and Usage streets about noon last Friday.
He knew the boy well. Being so close to
the river at the time he was last seen. we
are almost positive that the boy fell in and
was drowned. I will give u to any person
who finds either the boy or his body"
The child has light hair and can be identi-
fed by scar on his forehead near the hair
line He wore dark trousers AMI a light
shirt. He was barefooted and had on
straw hat.

Post-Ofiice Inspectors Said 10
Have Uncovered Interesting
Facts Involving Him.
CHECKS ARE IN EVIDENCE.
Grand Jury Is Considering His Al
legged Connection With Cash
Register Case-More Expo,
sures Coming.

Washington, July 1.-THE Federal Grand
Jury in Brooklyn is considering the alleged
connection of George W. Beavers former
Superintendent of the Division of Salaries
and Allowances for the Post-Office Depart
msnt. with former Representative briggs in
the Fraudulent automatic cashier transac-
ton. briggs was indicted by the Grand
Jury ana is out on bail.
II is said the Inspectors who have been
working for months on the case have found
evidence that has warranted the Federal
court in reopening 1t. At the Pcst-Ofice
Department to-day Postmaster General
Payne would not discuss the matter.
The force of Inspectors has pursued a
line of investigation into the affairs of the
Division of Salaries and Allowances as
they existed under Mr.. Beavers regime that
has been productive of interesting results.
Among the witnesses that have appeared
before the Grand Jury in Brooklyn are In
spectors Little and Oldfeld. George w.
Strawn and a stenosrapher employed by the
Brandt-Dent Company Were also examined
Belief in the desire of the POST Office De-
3ertne?t tc ennlesh Beavers IS strengthened
in Washington by the fact that Inspectors
Meyer. Sutton and Noyle OF the Western di-
visions have been summoned to Brooklyn to
testify before the Grand Jury.
Ii is said to be evident from the character
and business of a number of those upon
whom subpoenas have been served. that the
Government proposes to examine into the
nature of certain monetary ransactions
that are evidently being traced through
checks or drafts.
MASTEN's POSITION.
The appearance of John VI. Masten, As
sistant Superintendent of the Railway Mail
Service, before the Postmaster General
was compulsory and for the purpose of ex-
planning some new charges that have been
filed.
One of the charges. it is said. is contained
in an affidavit which sets forth that Masten
offered TO restore an emoloye to the postal
service for Sl0o. to be paid In monthly in
stallments. The story of the affidavit is
that man named Terry, now in the Post
Office Department. was appointed TO a $500
position in the office of the First Assistant
Postmaster General during Masten's in
cumbercy as chief clerk
Masten transferred Terry to the City
Post Office and appointed another man in
his place Terry protested and. when
First Assistant Postmaster General John
son and Masten went out OF office Terry
took the case before the Civil Service Com
mission. The result was that July g. just
before President Roosevelt departed for
Oyster Bay. he signed an order restoring
Terry to the Post-Office Department with
annual pay of 500. The case against Mas
ten is being pushed vigorously on these
lines.
There is little reason to doubt that Post
master General Payne is considering the
summary removal of several subor,iinates.
1t is not likely. however. that he will take
action until he returns from his ocean
journey TO Boston. on which he will start
Wednesday.

the children took part in the performance.
Mr.. Davis asked them to sing America, -
and when Director MacConnell raised his
baton thousand voices sang the national
hymn in chorus in a way that brought ap-
plauSe from the actors behind the scenes.
OF course the Carr street playground
