A National Department Of Health
Established In China
The Republic of China il not yet
year old, yet it has already es-
tablished a national Department OF
Health. The United States of
America is 1876 years old, and is
still discussing the question. DR..
w. w. Peter, Medical Missionary
located at Shanghai, China, discuss
es some Of the health problems Of
China in a recent number of The
Journal pf the American Medical
Association. He says: 1.-TWO thous.

problems in China. Viewed from
the top of city wall, nothing can
be seen from wall to wall but
house-tops. There are NO play
grounds. parks or wide streets.
Trees are the exception; streets are
very narrow. five feet is considered
an ample width for an alley; ten
feet Is quite street, and a fifteen

as boulevard. There are no yards:
houses and shops open directly ON
the street; paving is practically un-
known, and ten people often occupy
quarters barely large enough for
two. During the three hundred
years of Manchu government, moth
Ing was done to safeguard the pub

regulations and no health officers

Express Companies May Reduce
Rates As Result OF Parcels Post

pected that the present building
will be so flooded with bundles that
permission will have to be obtained
to rent separate quarters Tor the
parcels post business.
The one feature that may operate
in favor of the express companies is
the fact that they deliver and call
for packages. large and small. The
government will not be able to call
at homes as the express companies
do, and the latter are expected to
retain this class of business. Gov
ernment officials anticipate thar
rates will be reduced by the ex-
press companies for fear that hun
dreds of their customers will be-
come used to the government post
and become permanent patrons.
The parcels post packages will be
taken at all of the Denver sub-sta-
tions and this is expected to IN
crease the business in the outlying
districts. Special stamps are being
made and they will be good only
on the packages sent by parcels

The occasion was the annual assembly of the Chamber of Commerce., and the splendid results of the contesting Red and Blue attendance teams were evidenced by tho large out pouring of the membership that thronged the auditorium of the official building.
 Following an impressive and comprehen- sive sketch of his administration, read by former President Massey, the installation was effected with simple exchahge of positions, the president-elect having been seated to the left of the retiring official Tn presenting Mir Sfbley as the man who would take the helm of the Chamber of Commerce affairs MT.

JOHN GRISOM ASSAULTED
 AND ROBBED IN CINCINNATI

Cincinnati, February 23.-(Special.)-- Murder may result from brutal high way robbery committed in the vacant lot on the south side of Perry street, between Plum street and Central ave- nue, early Friday morning. John Grisom, 3S an engineer, who lives in Birmingham, Is the victim of what the police consider one of the most vicious assaults in years made by a robber.
 Grisom was beaten on the head, his skull fractured, his scalp cut, his left jaw broken, and a terrible wound cut in the left side of his face. Ills pock- cts wore turned inside out and he bore other evidences of having been thor oughly searched by the robber, who evidently took his time after having beaten his victim into insensibility. The robber secured $14.
 Grisom was found staggering along Fifth avenue and Plum street by a private watchman employed in the Fleishmann plant on Plum street The watchman blew his police whistle ana Patrolmen Hill, Moore and Wolf re- sponded Grisom was bleeding profuse- ly from the wounds in his head. While waiting for the patrol wagon the po- licemen questioned Grisom. He told them that he had been attacked by q negro. He hit me with something and don't remember anything else, he
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-24

said. 'I do not know how I got here or where it was that the man assault ed and robbed me"
 He was taken to the city hospital. After Grisom was sent to the hospital the officers followed a trail of the blood which marked his patch. It led them to the vacant lot. Here the of ncers found bludgeon smeared with blood. a broken whisky bottle and Grisom's cap.
 The ground showed that there had been a desperate struggle and that Grisom had lain there for some time after the assault, the blood on the ground being dry when the officers reached the scene
 The theory of the police is that Grisom was enticed into the lot by the negro who then struck down Grisom from behind and beat hi mas he lay on the ground. The ruffians weapon was a heavy piece of flooring board.
 Just before the officers attention was called to the man they saw negro walk over the south side of First ave- nue toward Elm street. He wore a light cap and walked rapidly turning up Elm street. They believe he was re sponsible for the assault and robbery.
 The city directory does not contain the name of John Grisom, and in uuiries at the yard offices of various railroads and police headquarters fail to reveal the fact that he is known here.

EAGER ID SUPPORT MUSIC FESTIVAL President HOlcOmbe Pleased With RespOnse-Festival
 Date Is May 3-4

President J. II. Holcombe of the Bir- mingham Music Festival association said last night that he was much pleased at the responses to the letters he had mailed to the subscribers of last years guaran- tee fund.
 A s100o0 guarantee is being raised for this years festival, which will be held at the Jefferson theatre Friday and Sat urday, May 3 and l. Individuals each are asked for d guarantee subscription of si0o but no one will be asked to pay any part of the guarantee except in case of deficit. and then each guarantor will be assessed pro rata.
 Of the loo letters which MT. Holcombe mailed this week 50 odd have been an- swered with the guarantee subscription enclosed. Only five persons declined to go on the guarantee list It is thought that by Monday night the entire $10.Oo0
 will have been raised and without any further soliciting than that contaRed in President Holcombes formal letter. Tho 1910 festival about paid expenses and the guarantors were not called on for a cent. Last year there was small deficit and each sl00 guarantor paid $3.50 It is said that this year there is more likely to be a considerable surplus than any deficit. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra l and many vocal artists will constitute
 the attractions.

EDWARD HINES EXPELLED
 FROM HIS CHICAGO CLUB

becoming in me as a member of the club to speak of the matter further than to say that l am convinced that MT. Hines Is innocent of the charges made against him.
 The charge on which the board of man agers of the club is said this afternoon to have voted expulsion for the lumber man was an alleged violation of the pro- vision of the constitution of the club regarding the furtherance of higher ideals and good government
 Throughout two federal senatorial ln- vestigations of the election of United States Senator William Lorimer Hines name has been frequently mentioned in connection with the case. From the view point of the club one of the most serious charges made against Hines was the one i'm which the lumberman was quoted as having solicited money In the club house from Clarence s.
