New Light on Art of "Soldier-
ing" in the Service

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The hook
worm, or "lazy bug" which has been
shown to exist in the southern states,
according to Investigations of the phys
ical condition of army recruits, Will
form an interesting chapter in the
forthcoming report of the surgeon gem
eral of the army, and probably Will
lead to a widespread effort on the part
of the boards of health in the southern
states to eradicate this disease, which
a few years ago was brought proml-
nentIy to the attention of the world
in connection with the Porto Rlcans'
According to investigations made by
the surgeon general, so per cent OF the
recruits in the army today from the
rural districts of the Carolinas, Georgia
Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and Lou
isiana show lazy bug infection
1t has been estimated that the cam
paign waged by the army against the
hook worm in Porto Rico resulted IN
saving more than 5000 lives annually.
The lazy bug has a medical name. 1t
is uncinariasiS.

Suit in San Franz

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O.-A wife's
pursuit of her husband covering two
continents and extending over a period
of twelve years was the feature of an
application filed in the superior court

vorce granted to Max Levy be set

The woman alleges that she was
married to Levy in Warsaw, Poland,
in 1898, and that her husband deserted
her twelve years ago Accompanied
by her 2-year-old son, she set out in
pursuit OF her wandering spouse, ac-
cording to the complaint, just missing
him in London, picking up his trail in
New York, arriving a day late in Nor

across the continent by way of Chica-

city to find that Max Levy had OBJ

ground of desertion, his complaint al

marriage. In her counter complaints,
she contradicts his statements and

STATES READY FOR
AN INCOME TAX LAW
IS GOVERNORS OUT OF 23 SAY
LEGISLATURES FAVOR IT
Seven Others Are Noncommittal and
Only Utah Declares That 1t
Would Cast Negative
Vote

NEW YORK, July 2O.-In order to
ascertain sentiment in the various
states of the Union on the question OF
amending the federal constitution so
as to provide congress with authority
to levy an income tax, New YORK
newspaper has sent kilograms to the
governors of the several states.
OF twenty-three chief executives VINO
have replied, fifteen were in favor OF
the income tax proposition; seven were
non-committal, or had not sounded
public or legislative sentiment, and one
opposed.
Governors of the following states re-
piled that their state legislatures prop
ably would ratify the proposed IN
come tax amendment: Florida, Mon
tana, Nevada, Colorado, ldaho, MISS
issippi, Kansas, Indiana, North Da-
kota, Minnesota, Virginia. Oklahoma
Texas. Kentucky and Iowa.
The non-committal replies were IRON
Georgia, Illinois, Rhode Island
Wyoming, Missouri, Oregon and WASH
ington. 3. -
In Utah only, however, was it fore
casted that the amendment would be
rejected Governor w. r. Spry OF that
state replied:
81 am inclined to think the income
tax amendment will not meet with
great favor in Utah The matter has
been before the people of the nation
once before and, as l remember, 1t did
not meet with special favor. Because
of this. [ have no reason to belleVe
the people of Utah will change thelr
minds. Personally l am not an adVo-
cate of the idea" i,
Governor Haskell of oklahoma had
this to say: 81 compliment the presi-
dent for having gone far enough in
the wastebasket of his predecessor and
found a sensible proposition. That is
an Oklahoma proposition and the vot-
ers will have to endorse it or turn
turtle on their position of fourteen
months ago."

MINERS STILL
ARE JOCKEYING
BREWERY ENGINEERS CLAUSE
is UNSATISFACTORY
ANOTHER CONFERENCE PROB
ABLE AT DENVER
One Feature of Day Was Denuncia-
ton of Slang Terms Hurled at
Workers Who Were For
eign Born
tRy Associated Press.l

DENVER, July 20.-An effort to
rush through before the days adjourn
ment a settlement of the controversy
growing out of the brewery engineers
strike, in Butte, Mont, resulted in the
adoption. of a motion which. in retro
spect, does not satisfy any of the
parties to the agreement.
The effect probably will be to ne
cessitate another conference between
the national officers of the United
Brewery Workers of America and the
Western Federation of Miners.
The resolution presented was based
on the agreement reached last spring
between President Meyer. for the fed
Grafton, and Secretary Proebstle, for
the brewery workers.
The Butte delegates, led by P. w.
Flynn, was opposed to the agreement
in its entirety. Although unable to
control the convention, 1t succeeded in
eliminating the paragraph providing
that there shall be no discrimination
practiced against the engineers or
other workmen who went on strike
against the brewery employers in any
part of Montana"
BY this action, the settlement au-
thorized by the convention today was
rendered unsatisfactory to the admin
istration.
A feature OF today S dellDefdtlOnS
was the reading OF a poster made pub
lie in Butte while the strike was in
progress. The poster severely criticised
the Butte local union of the Western
Federation, and charged its members
with attempting to disrupt the or
ganization.
Secretary Proebstle of the brewery
workers admitted having written the
poster and declared that he still be-
lieved the charges to be true.
Condemnation of the American man
ner of referring to foreigners as
"dagoes," "round-heads," butter
nuts" "red-necl5s" and other obnoxious
titles occupied some time in the con-
vention of the federation today. The
greater part of the membership is of
foreign birth and it objects to the
titles as commonly applied.
James Kirwin of the Black Hills, a
native born Irishman, expressed him
self thus:
"I consider that / am better citizen
than a large portion of native born
Americans, for | came in with clothes
on my back and my fare paid"
A motion to call a committee repre-
senting all classes of mining and un-
derground work for the purpose of
forming ore large miners organization
was defeated on the ground that its
wording was not clear and did not rep
resent Industrial unioniSm in its true
sense.
Joseph Bracken, from MCNEIL, New"
was denied his seat as a delegate, be-
cause it was proven he had not paid
his dues in his local union.
