MANY HAVE HOOKWORM.
Large Percentage of Immigrants
Found to lie Victims.

Washington, Nov. i.-Having discovered
that a large percentage of im migrants
coming into the United States, especially
those entering by the Pacific coast are
hookworm victims, Commissioner-Gener
Caminetu yesterday sent instructions to
all immigration officers throughout the
country for vigorous examinations.
Latest statistics furnished by the Car
negie commission, the commissioner gen
eral said showed that hook worm Is
prevalent in two-thirds of China. in many
places running from 20 to 20 per cent
among the farming population; that from
60 to so per cent. of lndias 800, 900 peo-
pie have it, and that it is widely pre-
valcnt In Japan, where the percentage
of infection is believed to be high. al
though exact figures We're not given. In
Malay, Ceylon, Samoa and the Philip
pines also the disease exists to a con-
siderable degree he said. The Atlantic
coast immigration, Mr.. Caminetti added,
would not have to b. watched so closely,
as the malady does not exist in Europe
to any great extent, being as rule con-
fined to miners there

President Says Predictions OF
Armed Intervention Will
Not Disturb Him.
AWAITS REPLY FROM HUERTE
Washington is Tense with Inter

Washington. Nov. Awaiting for wort
from Provisional President Huerta-thJ
was the attitude OF official Washington
to-day in the Mexican situetion
Administration officials s.ill refused I,
shed any light on the last communica.
tion which conveyed to General Huerta
the desire of the United States that hs
eliminate himself from the tangled stu-
alton. Ahelr attitude is that to discuss
publicly the delicate phases Of the prob
lem might defeat the ends being sought.
The feeling in the national capital is
none the less one of intense interest, es-
pecially as to what course will be pur-
sued If General Huerta declines to abdi-
cate. 1t was evident from those who
talked with President Wilson about the
situation to-day that he was calmly
awaiting developments. He has told his
friends that he would continue to try
to solve the situation by peaceful means
and would not be disturbed by predic-
tions of armed Intervention
The belief is general here that the
situation is being worked out with ex-
treme secrecy in diplomatic channels and
that only when some tangible conclusion
has been reached will there be any Off
cial announcements.
There was no collective opinion in Off
cial circles as to what Huerta's secret
reply to the American representations
might be. No one ventured predictions
and so far as could be learned no inti-
nations had been received as to Huerta's
attitude.

Public Promises to Follow
Up Any Charge That Can
Be Substantiated.

Albany. n. Y, Nov. 5--Fresh from

back into Albany to-day and made ar
rangements with Governor Glvnn for a
renewal of investigation into Hen
nessy's charges of graft in various
State departments.
Hennessy also caused to he issued by
Highway Commissioner John y. Carlisle
statement to the effect that Carlisles
denial of a charge that $S.OOO.0OO in
State highway funds had been wasted
in the last year was meant in no way
to reflect on any statement by Hen
messy. Carlisle also said that Hen
nessy's work in the department had
been valuable
Governor Glynn was called to New
York to-day and could not confer with
Hennessy at length. 1t was agreed. how
ever, that they would meet again next
Monday Hennessy then will present all
the evidence he has in relation to gra n
and suggest new ways of ferreting out
the corruption which. he charges ex-
lists. The Governor promised publicly
that he would see that any criminal
charge Hennessy could substantiate
would be prosecuted.
Carlisle's statement was to the effect
that his former statement was in reply
to a charge made by the republican
campaign committee in a boiler plate"
story and not to anything Hennessy had
said. The original story made it appear
that he was answering Hennessy per-
sonally.
For some reason or other Mr. Hen
messy seemed to take this up as an an
swer to some statement that he had
made Mr. Carlisle said, "and I cannot
understand why he should have consider
ed the matter from this viewpoint except
that he could not have carefully read the.
statement.
Mr.. Hennessy has done valuable work
in the highway department in connection
with investigations and has had our ac-
tive cooperation in every way and | am
sorry he should have gotten into such a
frame of mind as he apparently is in.
This department intends to compel the
observance of the terms of call contracts
on the part of the contractors, and to
punish every wrong doer that we can
discover; and there will be no Iet-uo on
our part in this work"
Hennessy tonight said he had NOT becn
given possession of the field books which
John Martin used while assisting in Some
OF the highway investigations. Hcnnessy
demanded the books shortly after his ar

London, Nov. 6-The London morning
papers congratulate the American people
ON the defeat of Tammany, which they
consider gives hope of a new birth of
democracy in America and a higher
standard of civic responsibility. They
think also that it is proof of renewed
confidence in President Wilson's admin
istration.
The Graphic regards the result of the
elections as manifestation of the ma
tion's approval of President Wilson'S
spirited Mexican policy, which Huerta
would do well To take to heart.
The Times Is not sanguine that Tam
many has suffered a permanent defeat
but thinks 1t most encouraging sign
that educated young Americans of
wealth and leisure are beginning to take
an interest in the problems of municipal
as well as national government.
