TAFT GETS STATEHOOD BILL
House Accepts Senate Amend
ments-Veto Assured.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, Aug l0.-Without debate and
on a viva voce vote the House accepted to-
day the Senate amendments to the bill adj
hitting 10 statehood the territories OF Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. Applause on both
sides Of the chamber followed the final
STEP. so far as Congress is concerned.
toward admitting the two new states. The
statehood bill now goes to the President,
who will veto the measure because the
Arizona constitution contains a provision
for the recall OF members Of the judiciary.
Representative Flood. OF Virginia, chair
man Of the House Committee on Terri
tories, presented the bill with Senate
amendments TO the House to-day and
urged the lower body 10 accept the slight
changes made by the Senate. Arizona and
New Mexico. said Mr.. Flood, had been
knocking for admission 10 the sisterhood
Of states for many years. and should he
admitted The amendments made In the
Senate concern the manner Of holding the
special elections in the two prospective new
states Arizona is required to vote again
on the recall. and New Mexico must regis
ter its will on a proposition to make its
constitution easier TO amend but admls-
sion IS not dependent on the result OF these
special elections.
Following the final passage Of the state
hood bill, the House adjourned out OF re-
spect TO the memory Of Representative
George W. Gordon. of Tennessee who died
yesterday The Speaker appointed a spe-
cial committee Of fifteen 10 attend the
funeral
Already both houses have canvassed the
possibility OF passing the measure over the
expected veto. which Will re based on the
Judiciary recall provision Of the bill
Some OF the Senate friends Of statehood
have reached the conclusion that a passage
i'm the Senate over the veto is very improb-
able. figuring that Of the flfty-three votes
that we're cast for the bill fully a dozen
would be lost. without any source from
which the deficit could be made good 10
meet the required sixty votes on the second
attempt There is no doubt felt as 10 the
passage Of the bill again in the House. and
some Senators contend that its success IN
the House would strengthen it in the
Senate.

Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. McCooey and their

from the Joint caucus were defy1ng party

strong in Mr.. Shepard's support. The
promise Of these three democrats was

More recently. says DR.. Lavinder, in
report made to the South Carolina board
OF health by the medical members of the
board of regents and the medical staff Of
the state hospital for the insane, several
cases are described, and the opinion is
expressed that while a pellagroid disease
is undoubtedly present in South Carolina.
1t remains to be proved whether 1t is the
true pellagra of the old world. the OBJ
servations being too few for a final
opinion.
Some investigators, however. deny that
pellagra comes from eating diseased corn,
and assert that the

don, who had an important part among
scientists in proving the mosquito theory
in malaria, has been observing pellagra
in Italy, where it is quite prevalent, and
is convinced that there the disease is
spread by an Italian midge. This insect
uoCS iOl CAlSS AH liC SHltCu NotolCS, uhI ~
is thought probable that the buffalo gnat,
an insect found chiefly in the lower Mis-
sisssippi valley, carries the poison from
one person to another
1t is also thought that the black fly.
which is found in most parts of the
United States. carries the disease. So
far, however. this is merely a theory.
While it cannot be doubted that many
cases of pellagra have existed and do
exist in the United States. there Is little
cause for alarm as to its spread, owing
to the better climatic conditions which
prevail. Yet, as indicating the classes
peculiarly open to attack-the poorly
nourished and those living amid insani-
tary surroundings-it should be noted
that in many pellagrous patients there
is frequent presence of the hookworm.
One of the most. dist essing things about
pellagra is the fact that it seems to be
connected with an important food product
which is almost universally used. Medi-
cal men declare that in the use of corn
care must be taken to. make. sure that 1T
has been thoroughly dried and at no time
has been exposed to conditions which
would give an opportunity for the forma-
ton of mold. 1t has been suggested that

ton. may be a fruitful source of the

ALBANY. n. Y. January 19.-The
United States senatorship puzzle was
as intricate last night as ever. The
legislature yesterday tried to choose
the democrat who will succeed Senator
Chauncey M. Depew, but no candidate
received the majority of votes neces-
sary to election. Efforts to increase
the following of William +. Sheehan,
the leading candidate. or to unite the
opposition on any one other candidate
thus far have proved fruit1ess.

credit on the first joint ballot. and
within nine votes of election, may be
no nearer Washington than Martin w.

Of the twenty-five who refused to en-
ter the caucus declare that while they are
agreed on no candidate of their own,
they are a unit in their opposition to

votes Sheehan cannot win unless

from the legislative sessions to reduce

try. Suspected cases can be traced as far

sequent ones In 1883 and 1889. may have
been sporadic. there Is a growing opinion
among insanity students that large per-

there as a result OF long standing cases of
pellasra. Exclusive of DR.. Sherwell's note

New York in 1902. the first authentic case
of the disease in the United States was

thought it true pellagra.

scribed an epidemic of pellagra occurring
in the Mount Vernon Insane Hospital
(coIored). There were eighty-eight cases
and fifty-seven deaths. He states that q
few cases of such a disease had been
noted there as long ago as 1901. but that
their real nature was unrecogniZed. He
also states that after attention was call
ed to the disease some eases were recog-
.nized in the hospital for the insane at
Tuscafoosa.. His cases generally ran q
