TELLS RESULTSOF
EXPERIMENTS ON
FLIESF FOR DISEASE

COLORADO SPRINGS. Sept. IL
An experiment TO determine the re-
lation OF the house fly TO disease, par
ticuIarly diseases in children, was
described today before the sociologi-
cal section OF the American Public
Health association by Albert +. Mil
bank OF New York, nephew OF Mrs.
Elizabeth Milbank Anderson, who re-
Gently gave $650,OOO for the establish
ment Of a department of social wei
fare of the New York association for
Improving the Condition OF the Poor.
Mr.. Mibank said that the very fact
that fund o. that size had been gwen
10y Mrs. Anderson for public health
work was an indication that the prob
lem of conserving the health OF the
community was OF growing import
ance in the minds Of those Interested
in the promotion OF social welfare.
lie thought there was a growing ten
dency 20 larger benefactions for pub
lie health activities.
In describing some features of the
work of the three divisions Of the de-
partment of social welfare, Mr.. Mil
bank said that for the purpose Of de-
termining the relation of the house fly
TO disease. nine blocks OF New York
city had been selected. Through the
cooperation Of the health department
and the tenement house department.
rigid sanitary inspection OF these
blocks had been maintained during the
summer. All the breeding places for
house flies had been removed as far
as possible.
One Block Screened.
One apartment in one block in the
center of this district had been screen
ed. Through the cooperation OF the
boy scouts fly traps had been placed
and operated throughout the district.
In the screened block in the center
ne he "A inventory
made Of the sickness in existence
when the experiment began. Families
were instructed as to the necessity Tor
keeping all food protected from flles
and for killing whatever flies that
succeeded in getting inside the apart
ments. A daily inspection of each
family was maintained for the purpose
OF observing the mobility and NOR
tality and results were carefully re-
corded.
A similar block located sufficiently
far from the screened block to be out
side the zone of the district so care
fully made sanitary, was chosen for
the purpose of observing similarly the
morbidity and mortality. While the
results Of this experiment have not
as yet been tabulated, the experiment
serves TO illustrate. Mr.. Milbank said,
the kind of activities which the bureau
Of public health and hygiene OF the
new department would carry on.

MINISTERS PLAN TO
CURB THE DIVORCES
Pastors at Carlisle, Pa, May Refuse
TO Marry People Who Are
Divorced.

CARLISLE. Pa. Sept. 11.-Clergy-
men Of this city have started a move
ment TO line up the clergy of the en-
tire state in opposition to the remar-
riage of divorced persons. The plan
provides that ministers shall sign an
agreement not to perform a marriage
ceremony in a case where either one
Of the contracting parties has been di-
vorced.
A committee was appointed TO pre-
pare & petition to the local clerk of
the courts, requesting him to indicate
on the marriage licenses furnished to
ministers whether or not either of the
parties contemplating matrimony had
been divorced. This is not required
by the state law now, but can be done
at the option of the marriage license
clerk.

REFUSES TO PRODUCE
BOOKS FOR THE COURT

err than surrender the books of the
Western Fuel Co., to Judge Dooling of
the United States court, David Nor
cross, secretary of the company,
gave himself up Wednesday to the
United States marshal. Judge Dooling
held him in contempt of court and
sentenced him to Jail until such time

For Weakness of Men

That disorder commonly known
as weakness has for years and gen.
erations baffled the efforts of ply
sicians. yet to this very day a ma
jority Of doctors, specialists not ex-
cepted, are attempting to overcome
it by methods that have been in
constant use and have always fail
ed for half a century. They dose
the system with powerful stimu-
lants and tOnics, calculated to re-
store nervous force or strength that
is not and never has been lacking,
with result that the functions are
temporarily excited, to the positive
detriment of the patient. Weak

fence just now-is only a symptom
resulting from a chemically swOl-
len and infamed prostate gland,
and is durable by local treatment
only. Either early dissipation or
some improperly treated contracted
disease is responsible for the in
Illumination in most instances,
through accident, injury, strain,
ETC., may produce the same result.

Woman Who Tried to Stop the

Her Skull Fractured When She

London. - Emily Wilding Dawson,
the first martyr to the militant eff

as the result of a fracture of the
skull sustained in an attempt to sop
the Kings horse Anmer during the
running of the Derby last week.
A few moments before her death
two comrades draped the screen sur
rounding the cot with the fateful col
ors of the Women's Social and Po-
litical Union, which she wore when
she made her sensational attempt to
interfere with the great classic of the
British turf
Miss Dawson had evidently ex-

Corner in time to intercept and scat

strain her. She reached the track

The woman turned complete somer-

Jockey Jones, who had been left prone

hair had saved her from more than

Miss Dawson was noted for her
daring feats in behalf of militancv.
One of her earliest exploits was to
barricade herself in a cell, and she
was only subdued with the aid of

cast herself down a flight of stairs in

of the airshaft. Her last exploit be-
fore the fatal EPSON incident was the
assaulting of Baptist clergyman, in
the belief that he was Chancellor
Lloyd George.
The Daily Sketch has received a
message from Christobel Pankhurst,
who is now in Paris, in which she
said:
Miss Dawson died for women. She
did this to call attention to their
wrongs and win for them the vote.
The governments refusal to grant
the vote drove her to make her pro-
test. The argument has not con-
WINGED Mr.. Asquith of the seriousness
Of his position, but perhaps the wom-

officials Have Concluded That Japan
csc Officials Have Shown a Re-
markable knowledge OF
American Law.

Toxic, Japan.-The rejoinder of
Japanese to the United States note
on the subject of The California alien
land ownership legislation reiterates
that the land bill passed by the Cali
fornia Legislature violates the spirit
of the Japanese-American treaty by
discriminating against friendly
power.
1t points. out that even II the ques-
ton is an economic one, it enters the
domain of international relations and
therefore becomes a political question.
The note says that the California
land legislation violates Article |. of
the Japanese-American treaty of 1911,
which authorizes subjects or citizens
of the contracting parties to own or
lease houses, which are inseparable
parts of real estate.
1t also declares that the new bill
violates the Fourteenth Amendment
to the United States Constitution re-
curing the States to grant equal pro
lection under its laws to all persons
within it's jurisdiction.
Interest in the Japanese-America
land ownership controversy is I'M
Gbated in Japan and continues to be
the paramount topic of conversation
among all classes Several mass
meetings of protest are being ar
ranged.
Tatsue Yamamoto, minister of
agriculture AMI commerce, in state
ment declares that the japanese gov
eminent is DESTROYS of participating
in the Panama Pacific EXPOSITION "a
San Francisco, but owing to .,opular
feeling on the California land ques-
tioA it feels obliged to wait in order
to determine public sentiment toward
the exposition before proceeding fur
Their with its plans.
The japanese government has post
poned its reply to Secretary of State
Bryan's proposed plan of International
lrbitratiOn. which, it is understood, is
being favo ably considered by 10
nations.
