STATEHOOD BILL MAY MAY
YET Be DEFEATED
Conferees Will Meet Today in Effort
to Patch Up Differences Be-
tween Two Houses.

The Statehood conferees will meet to-
morrow to see what can be done IN the
way OF smoothing over the differences
between the two houses. On the proba-
bic final result of these efforts it Is
hardly an exaggeration to say there are
almost as many views as there are SEN
ators.
In the opinion of majority OF sena-
tors, the conflict of opinion is so great
that the chances are a: present against
the passing of any Statehood bill at all.
Speaker Cannon has again announced
positively his antagonism to any bill
which does not provide for the adnis.
sion of the two States OF Oklahoma and
Arizona and the House conferees are
understood to sustain him in that view.
Consequently the efforts to be made
in the conferences of the next few days
will be to adopt the House bill with the
Foraker amendment which allows the
Territories OF New Mexico and Arizona
to vote separately on the question of
their union and admission as one State
Opposition has now sprung up, however.

since the view has been gaining ground
shat Arizona would be won over TO
joint Statehood by the alIurements of
getting fat State offices.
Heretofore opponents Of the Senate
committee bill, which was the same as
the House bill. thought they could rely
on the Foraker amendment, providing
for Arizona and New Mexico voting sep
arately, TO Kill that part of the bill Now
/ they see this was false hope and con-
sequently they are expected to agree
upon other means fer preventing joint

became president of the beard. In 1863
he was appointed one of 100 citizens to
draft a bill for the consolidation of
the various municipalities IN the Dis
trict. In 1870 he was elected alderman
and was also president of the Citizens.
Reform Association. On March 16. 1871,
he was appointed q member of the
Board of Public Works and chosen vice
president. He became governor of the
District on September Is, 1873, and
served until June 20 in the following
year, whe1s the Territorial form of gov

gress. He died September Il, 1902.
Shepherd Relics.
Together with other Republicans who
were dissatisfied with the adninistra-
ton Of Mayor Bowen, who represented
the radical element of the party, A. r.
Shepherd brought about the election of
Matthew G. Emery as his successor.
subsequently Shepherd became dis
gruntled at Emerys administration of
affairs and secured the passage of a law
establishing the territorial form OF gov
ernnent in the District. While vice
president of the Board of Public Works,
which contained five members and of
which Governor Cooke was the president
and nominal head, Shepherd was in real
ity the chief executive officer.
When Governor Cooke resigned after
two years service his personal influence
with President Grant obtained the ap-
pointment of A. r. Shepherd. Soon after
this appointment a number of citizens
fled charges against Shepherd of NAL
administra ton of office, resulting in an
! investigat ton by Congress which brought
about the abolition of the Board of
Public Works, but with personal re-
fection on Governor Shepherd.
Governor Shepherds fame rests on the
fact that by the Board of Public Works
| the streets of Washington were i'm
proved on a comprehensive plan, and a
! sense of the nations obligation to do Its
share toward the establishment of the
capital was aroused during his term of
| office.
DIR. William TindaIl, the present secre-
| tary of the Board of Commissioners, was
| Governor Shepherds private secretary
also. and among his many possessions
| connected with q. long service with Dis
| trict officials, he takes pride in two
| things chiefiy--one letter received from
Governor Shepherd after his retirement
| expressing warm appreciation of his
services, and the other the governor S

The model of the statue of Alexander
Rohey Shepherd stands in the studio of
y. S. J. Dunbar, in this city, almost
finished.
Only the few final touches are left to
be made by the artists hands and in
ten days or two weeks it is expected the
plaster cast will be made. Two years
viii pass, however, before the statue
of the Districts last governor is placed
on its plain and simple granite pedestal
in the triangle in front or the new NUM-
cipal building, on Pennsylvania avenue,
but the model has already been inspect
ed and accepted by the committee.
The final cast will be made in bronze
and when the work is completed the
most striking feature of the monument
will be the almost exact likeness of the
famous chief executive of the District
which Mr.. Dunbar has achieved.
The statue is d little more than life
size and represents Governor Shepherd
In a business suit, the dress in which he
appeared at his best and most suited to
his active nature and energetic life. A
four-in- hand tie, a loose collar. and a
cutaway coat are the smaller features
of his dress. In his hand he carries

Of starvation. and, best of all and most impor-
tant, that it can be cured by simple and mex
pensive treatment. The disease in Porto Rico
is uncinariasis, the presence of an Intestinal
hookworm parasite. The expelling of this worm
brings relief and cure and restores to ability to
labor the men and women who are now bur-
den to themselves and to the island.
The commission declares that 80 per cent of
the rural population in all parts of the island
are affected with anemia, due to the presence
of the intestinal worm, and that the worm gains
entrance by penetration of the larva through
the skin.
Infection in Porto Rico comes largely from
contact with the soil, especially where the
habits of the natives filthy. Clay eating,
all too prevalent, is another cause. Infection
by ingestion may follow soiling the mouth with
muddy hands at meal time; eating muddy vege-
tables and fruits; drinking muddy water: drink
ing from muddy receptacles; inadvertently swal-

quently eat; handling of mud bedraggled dresses
before meals; eating of sweets made in dirty
muddy houses. and drinking of guarapo, the ex-
pressed juice of sugar cane. This list COM
prises by no means all the possible modes of
infection by the mouth.
The type of anemia most prevalent in Porto
Rico is the moderate although there are many
extreme cases and not infrequent fatalities.
