London, Sept 26.-The Women's
Social and Political Union considered
today what action to take i'll retail
alton for the LaLw LSociety,s refusal
to admit to the legal profession in
England No decision was reached
but the matter will come up later.
TT is monstrous that solicitors
should have the power to exclude wo-
men from their calling" said Lady
Conway. Especially in view Of the
fact that men are in a minority IN
England it is the height Of injustice
for them to monopolize all the pest
professions"

FREQUENT BATHS
RECOMMENDED
Physician-Author Suggests
Two or Three Cold Baths
Daily.
Do NOT CAUSE COLDS.
Men Who Perform Manual Labor
Which Requires Much Exertion
Should Immerse Often. -.

Washington, Sept 26.-"No man,
woman or child should neglect to
bathe at least once day. In fact, l
would recommend that cool baths OF
cold plunges be taken two or three
times daily, if at all convenient or nee
essary. No one yet has ever caught
a cold through too frequent bathing"
This was the opinion expressed in
an interview today by DR.. Woods
Hutchinson, physician-author and one
of the most noted and authcrit'-
tive health experts at the 1nterna-
tional Congress on Hygiene and Dem
ography in session here. Professional
and business men and also women and
children should take cool bath once
a day at least, preferably in the morn
ing, the doctor said. Men who do
manual labor which requires much en-
ertion should bathe even oftener.
Really" continued DR.. Hutchinson,
"the only virtue in the bath, and by
that I mean the cold plung in our
tubs at home, is the stimulating effect
which it imparts. There being no
danger in it's too frequent indulgence,
there is every reason why all should
cultivate habit of bathing several
times day, The only danger pre-
sents itself when the water is too hot
and too much soap is used. In this
case slight skin diseases might set IN
on account of the drying and cracking
of the pores. Frequent bathing at
home has never had any bad. effects On
persons health. Colds do not come
through the pores. The mouth and
nose are the only parts of the body
through which colds are transmitted.
The season of the year, therefore does
not necessarily have to be considered.
"Some good folks contend" con-
cluded the doctor, "that they have
caugh awful colds coming out OF the
Turkish bath. Of course. But the
cold was communicated not from the
effects of the bath, but by the thouo-
ands of "bugs" or germs which are
pent up in the room and kept alive by
the steam. These rooms are seldom
ventilated, so that the occupant be-
fore. who may have had any disease
from mere cold to tuberculosis,
leaves the germs behind for the next
fellow to breathe into his system"

700 LAY DOWN ARMS.
Narrowing Scenes in Grenada-Peo-
pie on Verge of Famine-Red Cross
Sends Relief to the Sufferers.

Panama, Sept. 26.-Reports that
General Louis Mena, the Nicaraguan
rebel leader, has surrendered were
confirmed today. The version here is
that it was not the government
commander that he yielded his sword
but to the Officer in charge of the
American forces at Granada.
Yesterdays story of the massacre of
TWEEN ;y-nine American bluejackets at
Leon, after they had killed forty reb-
els was brought here by passengers
on a steamship from Costa Rica.
Their account was that the rebels tried
to stop train passing through Leon
with arms and ammunition. The
American bluejackcts on board object
ed, the revolutionists opened fire on
them, the Americans answered it and
general engagement followed. No
official confirmation having been re-
oeived, the story is believed to have
been exaggerated, though it seems
clear that there was trouble at Leon
Though the situation in Nicaragua
was improved today by Gen. Mena's
surrender, other central AmericanY,
countries seem to have caught
the revolutionary contagion. Dish
quieting reports were received from
nearly all of them and many predic-
tions were being made here of the
clear necessity of American inter-
vention on a large scale if wide
spread disorders are to be averted.
Washington, Sept. 26.-Fnis was
written on the revolution in Nicara-
qua today. American Minister Welt
eel at Managua telegraphed to the
State Department that he had re-
ceived full confirmation of the sur
render of the principal rebel leader,
General Mena. Weitzel reported that
he had received word from Rear Ad-
miral Switzerland at Grenada, that
Mena had surrendered with 700 men.
1t is assumed here that the surrcn-
der was to President DiaZ Of Mica
ragua. What disposition will be
made of Mena could not definitely be
predicted today, but as the request
of the Nicaraguan government for
American intervention gives Souther-
land very broad powers, it is assumed
that he may direct what shall be done
with Mena.
An attache of the American lega-
tion at Managua, who has just re-
turned from Grenada, reports borrow
ing scenes in the latter city. The in
habitants were on the verge of fam
inc and the Red Cross supplies which
were meant for their relief, had been
distributed with the utmost haste.
Two professional revolutionists of
a dangerous character are still at
large in the country. Juan Irias,
who left Costa Rica, to mix up in the
rebellion, has not yet been captured,
and General Zeledon, who was the
principal aide Of Mena, still has a
large band of rebels somewhere in the
vicinity of Grenada. 1t is believed
that he cannot hold out much longer
and word of his surrender is being mo
mentari!y awaited.
