Governments, empowered to make
recommendation for their settle

eide that the dispute should be ar
bitrated, such decision would be
binding.
Before arbitration is resorted to,
even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference is suscep-
tible of arbitration, the Commission
of Inquiry shall investigate the dis
pute with a view OF recommending
a settlement without arbitration.
The commission, at the request
of either Government. will delay its
findings one year to give an oppor-
tunity for diplomatic settlement.
The Senate will ratify the terms
of submission of each dispute to ar
bitration.
The conventions grew directly
out of President Taft's speech in
Washington. December IS, last, be-
fore the American Society for the
Judicial Settlement of International
Disputes, in which he said:
"If now we can negotiate and put
through a positive agreement with
some great nation to abide the ad-
judication of an international Ar
bitral Court in every issue which
cannot be settled by negotiation, no
matter what It involves, whether
honor, territory or money, we shall
have made long step forward by
demonstrating that 1t is, possible for
two nations, at least, to establish,
as between them, the same system
of due process of law that exists
between individuals under a gov

State Board Takes Action
In the Matter.
DREAD MALADY IS SPREADING
To Meet at Corbin-Goyerr-
ment Specialists to
Be on Hand.
AN INCURABLE SKIN DISEASE

So alarming have become the re-
ports regarding the spread of pella-
gra in this State and so futile the at
tempts of the various county and
city physicians to cope with the sit
uation, that the State Board of
Health has issued call for a meet
ing at Corbin August 8, when
both Government and foreign spec
ialists will be in attendance.
The call for the meeting was is
sued by DR.. j. N. Mccormack, sec
rotary of the State Board. DR.. Nc
Corpack stated that he has re-
quested the United States Govern
ment to send experts and that he
also expects several specialists from
the Rockefeller Institute to be on
hand.
1t is said that besides the "a
cases reported from the Lexington
and Hopkinsville Asylums for the
Insane, more than 100 cases OF the
dread malady have been reported
from Bell and Whitley counties.
The spread of the disease in the
mountain sections of Kentucky is
said to have been rapid and no
where have the attempts of the ply
sicians been successful in allaying
it.
At the meeting at Corbin to-
day the physicians will take up
a thorough search for the underly-
ing causes of the disease and will
also try to learn the best methods
of effecting a cure. 1t is believed
that every member of the board
will be in attendance and also many
from other States, as 1t may be
found that the same conditions
that exist here are also in existence
in other States. There have been
no reports of pellegra in any Of the
larger towns of the State.
Is a Skin Disease.
Speaking of the disease that is
threatening the inmates of the in
sane asylums at Hopkinsville and
Lexington, DR.. w. Ed Grant, City
Health Officer, of Louisville, stated
pellegra has been definitely recog-
nized by medical men only during
the last ten or twelve years. Pella-
gra is a skin disease that is pecu-
liar to the South. 1t is thought to
be caused by eating corn which has
been attacked by a fungus growth
known as Smut" 1t is a skin dis
ease somewhat resembling leprosy,
and is incurable. Medicine is of
little or no avail against it, the
only treatment effective being COM
plete rest, good food, and plenty of
fresh air. Exposure to sunlight,
however, greatly aggravates the
malady.
John d. Rockefeller has given
large sums to aid in the fight
against the mysterious disorder,
over a million dollars being adj
vanced by him for a study of the
two diseases that are now attract
ing so much attention in the South
the hook-worm and pellagra.

WILSON IS FOR
LOCAL OPTION
But Says Matter Has No
Place i'm Politics.
IT IS PURELY A MORAL ISSUE
Cites His Letter Of May 1,
Wherein He Defines
His Position.
WHOLE MATTER IN NUTSHELL

Answering a telegram of the ed
itor of the Louisville Post, inquir-
ing as to his exact attitude on the
liquor question, Gov. Woodrow Will
son, of New Jersey, gives forth his
ideas touching this subject. He
says he is for local option, but he
thinks the question should never
be made a political Issue. His re-
ply to the Posts editor, who asked
if a certain published telegram, re-
counting what he was alleged to
have said to Rev. Thomas B. Shan
non recently, anent the liquor ques-
ton, is as follows:
Governor Wilson'S Reply.
State OF New Jersey, Executive
Department, Aug. 3, 1911.-Editor
Evening Post: | did not see what
was given out by the Rev. Thomas
Shannon after my interview with
him the other day, but evidently
he has created a very wrong i'm
preston of my position. am TAX
ing the liberty of sending to you
copy of a letter 1 wrote to Mr..
Shannon on May 1, which gives the
exact statement of my position.
Cordially yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
His Attitude.
The letter to the Rev. DR.. Shan
non is as follows:
May 1, 1911.-My Dear Mr..
Shame The question asked in
your letter OF April 81 about my at
titude toward the important ques-
ton of local option is, of course, a
perfectly legitimate one, and you
are entitled to very frank an
swer. l would have replied sooner
had l not been prevented by imper-
alive public engagements. l have
explained my views to you in pri-
vate, but have, of course, no objec-
ton to your making them public.
| am In favor of local option.
am a thorough believer in local
self-government. and believe that
every self-governing community
which constitutes a social unity
should have the right to control
the matter OF the regulation or OF
the Withholding of license.
But the questions involved are
social and moral, and are not sus-
ceptible of being made parts OF a
party program. Whenever they
have been made the subject matter
of party contests, they have cut the
lines of party organization and
party action athwart, to the utter
confusion of political action in eV-
cry other field. They have thrown
every other question, however i'm
portant, into the background, and
have made constructive party ac-
ton impossible for long years to-
gether. So far as I am myself con-
cerned, therefore, can never con-
sent TO nave the question OF iocai
option made an issue between po-
litical parties in this State. My
Judgment is very clear in this mat
ter, do not believe that party pro-
grams of the highest consequence to
the political life of the State and OF
the nation, ought to be thrust on
one side and hopelessly embarrass-
ed for long periods together by
making a political issue of a great
question which is essentially nom
political. non-partisan, moral and
social, in it's nature.
Very sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.

TRADE UNSETTLED
 IN IRON AND STEEL Enters New Year With Light
 Business EXPECT LOWER PRICES price Schedule of Lake Superior Ore Interests Attracts Attention and Mills Do Not Accept Rail
 Orders From Railroads
EXPECT LOWER PRICES

New York, January 1.-The iron and steel trade enters the new year with un- settled conditions and with light volume ef business in all branches. This seems to be largely due to the expectation that lower prices probably will be made on
 finished lines before activities in iron and steel begin to mend. For this reason
 much interest Is being displayed in the approaching general meeting of iron and steel manufacturers to be held in New York January Il. Iron and steel produc- tion during the present holidays is rel atively lighter than for several years be- cause of the lessened demand for ship ments. Many furnaces are banked and are resuming slowly. Considerable inter- est is being manifested in the price sched- ule to be maintained this, season by the Lake Superior ore interests.
 Final action along this line probably will be slow because of the great amount of unbelievable ore, estimated at up- wards of 3o,0oO,O00 tons. Sales are usually being made at concessions. Pig iron pro- ducers continue to cooperate in an eff fort to further limit production and a number of additional furnaces will likely go out in January.
 In the rail market the orders for 10000 tons each by the New York Central and the Pennsylvania railroads have not been accepted by the mills Negotiations over the specifications desired are still under way These are expected to be amicably adjusted soon, however. Structural let t;ngs of December have been about 6O,00o tons, a light month, of which 25,000 tons went to the leading interest and about B, ,0oO tons to the independents. Fabri- cated and erected prices in different cen- ters show considerable spread.
 Some new car inquiries have come out this week, including 20oo for the Pennsyl- vania lines east and west, while the Buff falo. Rochester and Pittsburg is now for mally in the market for 175o cars. Pend ing car orders are about 12000. Several large coke contracts for first half of the year shipments have been closed at the Tat price of S1 50 ovens, the most import ant of which is of a Cleveland merchant iron interest for 9.000 to 5000 tons monthly.
 An eastern steel company has also closed for 15,O00 tons per month for all of 1S11 at s175 ovens. The export iron and steel trade continues favorable.

Bessener News

A fire occurred Sunday morning about 1 o'clock at Hynes grocery store, on the corner of Nineteenth street and Third alley. The stock was totally destroyed and the building badly damaged. The fire was discovered by Patrolman Mcintyre, who promptly turned in the alarm. The fire department responded quickly but the conflagration had gained much headway before being discovered Though the stock of goods was entirely destroyed, they succeeded in preventing the spread of flames and checked the fire. The hose wagon from station No. 2 assisted in subduing the blaze. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained but from the fact that it started inside the store the presumption is that it was the result of coal falling from the stove. The damage will amount to several thousand dollars.
 The city council will hold its regular semi-monthy meeting Tuesday night, when the reports of all the city officials will be received. It is expected some in teresting figures will develop Each de- partment of the city government will make separate report. The license sched- ule will also receive some consideration and 1t is understood an effort will be made to change some of its present pro- visions.

EXPECT COTTON ID
 BE VERY UNCERTAIN
Probable Consumption Will
 Hold Greater Interest
WAITING ON BULL CROWD
Statement That English Mills Are Tak- ing Cotton mt Record Breaking Pace Will Cause Interest In
 News From England

New Orleans, January 1.-The cotton this week will at first probably be an uncertain proposition. The drastic liqui- dation on both sides that was prompted by the protracted holiday period leaves a large element among operators open to conviction, but old arguments will in a large measure, give way to new. Thus there will be much less disposition to talk about the size of the crop, but a more pronounced disposition to consider the probable consumption.
 Interest In ginning will be revived to some extent by the fact that the period to be considered in the next report by the census bureau ended with the old year. The statistics will be issued on January 10, but probably this week sey-3 eral private bureau reports will be ssuued and they may have some influence on trading.
 The statement by Ellison, the English authority on consumption, that English mills are taking cotton at record breaking pace will cause more interest than ever to be attached to news from the English mill districts From this time on the market will be more suscep- tible than 1t has been to this sort of news. Students of the market will eag- eriy look for news from the continent where spinners are generally supposed U De In rather a bad position because they have thus far held off from the Ameri- can spot markets and also because of the big shortage claimed in the east Indian crop. Continental spinners annually work up a great deal of this sort Of cct- ton Bulls claimed that the continent must before long be large buyer of raw cotton in order to cover the con,- mitments it has made in yarns and cot ton goods. The first news to the e. feet that the continent is in the spot market in large way will probably cause stir in the market for futures
 There is one thing especially that the market is waiting for more light on and that is the probable actions of the traders composing the famous bull clique of last season It has all along been under stood that an organized bull movement was to be seen again this season Some traders are hoping for developments in this connection this week.
