even though it holds but one actual
meeting each year.
Another important undertaking Of the
secretary is that Of getting out bulle-
tins. each Of them covering the activi-
ties of all the states in given line.
For example. the first bulletin relates
to the popular election Of senator's.
When he collected the information for
this bulletin Mr. Jordan made the sur
prising discovery that. while twenty
nine OF the states had petitloned con
gress for a constitutional amendment
on this question. all but thirteen of the
number had some defect in their petit
tons which would render them void.
1t is probable that popular election of
senators will be one Of the subjects
discussed at the coming meeting and
that Il uniform resolution will be
framed which will avoid the defects of
those previously passed by so many Of
the individual states. In this way it
will be possible for the house of gov
errors actually to initiate constitutional
amendments.
The second bulletin will treat of the
political platforms adopted this year by
the different parties in all of the states
Jordan has already gathered and tabu-
lated the material for this bulletin. 1t
will be invaluable as barometer Of
public opinion. He has also written to
the appropriate officials In the various
states a series of questions relative 10

lar letter on this subject contains one
notable suggestion. 1t is In behalf OF

plies were received.
Preserve Governors Messages.

is one tabulating and indexing the mes

Toned country schoolteacher boarded

the house of governors will be a pro-

a certain kind of euchre Is called pro-
gressive.
Governors Elect to Attend.
There are forty-six governors of
states and in the neighborhood of
twenty governors elect who do not now
hold the Office, making a possible mem
bership of more than sixty. Nearly all
have indicated their intention to be
present. 1t will be mighty gathering,
not so much for numbers as for the
overpowering greatness there assem-

Secretary Is Author.
Jordan is a bachelor and lives in
New York fat He is the author Of
several books covering his ideas on
education and other topics. One most
refreshing thing about him is that he
is n fundamental Democrat. imbued
with the genius of Americanism and
thoroughly believing in our dual sys-
TEN of government. He is not so
much an advocate of state rights as
he is of state duties. He Is convinced
that the states, through their isolation
from each other. have neglected to do
many Of the things that could have
been done TO solve our problems as a
people. He feels that the house of
governors will act both as stimulus
to arouse the states to the Importance
Of performing their full functions and
as an avenue through which TO per-
form these functions in the most eff
cient manner.

Jordan has said that he would rath-
er have his present Office than that of
president of the United States. And
It must be admitted that in it he has
an opportunity for service such as
falls to the lot Of few men. He was
born in New York In 1864 and was
educated in the College of the City of
New York. At the age of twenty he
was editor of Book Chat and later of
Current Literature. He then delivered
lectures on new system of educa-
ton. which he called mental training

became managing editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal in 1897 and year later
kwas made editor of the Saturday

editor and vice president of the Cont

another year was editor of the Search

In his new Office 1t will be Jordan's

for this body in the future. The re-

that this new chamber In the Amer-

TYPHOID ANT|TOy|N
Being Administered To Brigade
OF Midshipmen As Precaut-
ionary Measure
IS NOT COMPULSORY
Some Blame The Milk--0lherS Bad
Sewerage Al Bancroft HaII-BUt
Middies Not Afraid

That milk received temporarily
from an out-of-town dairy and used
to meet the demands of the Midsh ip.
men, was not up to the required
standard and was probably the cause
of the typhoid fever that has sent
thirteen Midshipmen to the Nav al
Hospital, is the most generally ac-
cepted theory among the medical Off
cials of the Academy and others at
this time.
The surgeons have conducted in
vestigations and made tests of all
possible sources of the trouble, but
the situation has been n battling one
to them and no definite conclusion has
been reached. And while the milk
theory is strongly advanced, yet the
fact that this foreign supply was cut
Off a week ago when the several case
began to develop. the surgeons were
prevented from making a test of it,
and thus determine whether or not
that was the actual cause
Two more Midshipmen were sent
to the hspital this morning, their all.
ments having been diagnosed las t
night as typhoid. This makes thirteen
in all who are now down with the
fever and are patients at the hos
pital. Surgeon A. M. D. Mccormick.
the senior medical officer at the Acad :
emy, stated this morning that every
possible precaution is being taken to
prevent any further spread of the
disease, though the fact that the two
new cases sent to the hospital today
had been on the suspected list for
several days, and none of the other
Midshpmen have developed symp-
toms, it is not expected there will
be any.
A theory to the effect that possibly
some defect in the sewerage system
of Bancroft Hall might have had
some bearing upon the situation has
been discounted by several investiga-
tions, as a result OF which nothing
inferior was found That attention
was turned in this direction, is
due to the fact that Bancroft Hall
which contains the dormitories of
the Midshipmen, is a large build
ing, and consequently there is some
thing of a network of pipes to
carry off the sewage.
And as an additional precautioD,
Surgeon Mccormick conferred with
Surgeon General Charles A. Stokes,
of the Navy, at Washington, as u
result of which il was decided to ad-
minister typhoid anti-toxin to the
Midshipmen This, however, was not
made a compulsory measure, and of
the 500 Midshipmen now at the
Academy. only about $50 Voluntarily
decided to submit to it. This is taken
to indicate that the Midshipmen
themselves are not seriously wrought
up over the situation, in view of the
fact that the anti-toxin, as the re-
suit of various experiments, has been
found to be a good preventative of
typhoid.
The Academy is still receiving it's
supply from dairyman near Annap
oils, with whom it has a standing
contract, and cattle as we'll as milk,
have been inspected and found to be
absolutely pure. Another inspection
along this line was conducted today
by Surgeon Charles st. j. Butler, of
the Department of Bacteriology of the
Navy. at Washington. and Surgeon
Mccormick.

A Candidate Crazy

One of the most pathetic incidents
that has occurred here in many years
is that of the past day or two. One
of the candidates for the Naval Acad-
emy who is coaching at a popular
local naval preparatory school, has
lost his mind. and Is, apparently, a
raving mauisc.
He is being given every care and
the best medical attention until his
family and friends can be heard from.
In the meantime the cause of bis
insanity is being carefully investi-
gated.
