EXAMINE SCORES
FOR HOOKWORM
MORE THAN EIGHT HUNDRED
SPECIMENS RECEIVED DUR
LAST WEEK.

Last week marked a record in the
States winter campaign against hook
worm disease, when more than 500
specimens were received from sus-
poets and were examined at the lab
oratory of the State board of health.
The specimens came from those
counties where the three field in
spectors OF the State board have been
at work visiting the schools explain
ing hte nature and treatment of hook
worm disease, and enlisting the CO.
operation of the teachers and par
ents Working in Orange, Hanover,
Rockbridge, Louisa and Augusta
counties, the inspectors met with a
very cordial reception and fairly
swamped the laboratory with speci-
mems.
This campaign was undertaken for
the winter months alone. When the
dispensaries were closed last fall. af-
ter treating thousands of persons for
the disease. the State board of health,
working with the Rockefeller sani-
tary commission, decided to keep the
inspectors busy during the winter by
sending them to the schools This
work had been done in previous win
ters and had been the means of pro-
ceeding hundreds of specimens, but 1t
never reached such proportions as
those of last week S record.
In it's effort to blot out hookworm
disease, the State is now sending free
treatment to all those whose speci-
mems show the presence OF hook
worm. These treatments are dis
pensed by q physician at the labora-
tory. who examines the record Of ev-
cry case. The treatment is then sent
by mail to the parent Of the child
with explicit directions for its admin
istration. AS the remedy prescribed
method OF reaching the people is de-
vised
An interesting feature Of the work
is the fact that the entire expenses are
borne by the Rockefeller sanitary
commission, which donates more than
$4,000 the year for hookworrn work
in Virginia, under the direction of the
State board Of health.
We are hoping said an officer of
the board today, that we may be able
to reach several thousand more chill
dren before the schools close in the
counties. We have a staff ready for
the work and are ready to examine
specimens from any part of the State,
without any cost to the patient All
that is required is that the patient
write the board and reQues us to send
a suitable container for mailing a
specimen. Full directors are sent with
the container and when the specimen
is examined. treatment is sent if the
presence of hookworm is disclosed.
All that an examination costs Is the
expense OF q. letter or postal TO the
board requesting contatner."

HOLD SPECIAL MEETING
AT . O'CLOCK.

For the purpose Of securing def
mite, concrete expression from It's
membership on the important ubiect
of annexation, a special meeting of

will be held in the quarters of the
organization this afternoon at 2
O'Clock
A special meeting Of the common
council is 70 he held next Tuesday
night for the purpose of hearing the
advocates and opponents of annexa-
ton and IL is the idea Of the direc-
tors that some concrete expression
should he secured from the club in
order that ii may so on record before
the council and the people. 1t is the
general impression that vast ma
jority of the members of the organi-
cation are strongly in favor uf the
annexation-the fifty members who
attended the special luncheon a week
ago were enthusiastically so---and it
is presumed that at today's meeting
strong resolutions in favor of annexa-
ton and urging prompt action will be
adapted. and a committee appointed
to bear the will of the body to the
council.
The meeting today will start
promptly at o'clock and viii last
only as minutes, the directors appre-
ciating the value of the time of the
members at that hour of the day.
The remarks on the subject fixed for
discussion will be limited to seven
minutes

SANITARY EXPERT
To ADDRESS BOARD
DIR. RUDOLPH Herring. OF NEW
YORK, HERE-sfASS OF TRIVIAL
ROUTINE BUSINESS.

Such matters of moment. as the
painting of a bench in Washington
park and the complaint of a citizen
that the ashes were not promptly re-
moved from the can in the rear of
his residence occupied the greater por
tion of the session of the city admin
istrative board yesterday, and a mass
of this trivial routine business was
transacted. Some published criti-
ctsms of the municipality in the dis
tribution OF street improvements funds
was dismissed in an informal discus
sion. in which the board took the posi-
ton that it did what it thought was
best for all concerned,
DIR. Rudolph Herring of New York,
sanitary expert. who comes to Rich
mond to give professional advice on
matters of sanitation. was introduced
to the board and at the conclusion of

TAKE APPEAL To
BIC COURT FRIDAY
NECESSARY RECORDS IN ALLEN
CASE COMPLETED, ATTOR-
NEYS PREPARE PETITION.

Attorneys Dennis C. O'Flaherty. of
Richmond. especially engaged for the
task. and X. II. Willis, counsel for
Claude Allen in all of his trials, Will
leave for Washington bright and early
tomorrow morning to present to the
Supreme court of the United States
the petition for a writ of certeraroi in
the case Of Claude Alien, condemned
to die in the electric chair March 2Sth
with his father for the shooting up of
the Circuit court of Carroll county at
Hilisyilie year ago this month.
MIR. Willis arrived in Richmond yes
terday and will put in today assisting
Mr.. O-Flaherty in in preparing the
necessary formal petition to the high
est tribunal in the land. The appeal
is based on the ground that Claude All
len was placed i'm jeopardy twice for
the same crime in having been tried
for both the murder of Judge Mas
sic and Commonwealth Attorney
Foster which occurred in the same
melee. No appeal will be made for
Floyd and therefore regardless Of
what action is taken in Claude's case,
the old man viii meet his fate a week
from tomorrow In the States prison.
Clerk II. Stewart Jones, Deputy
Clerk Taylor and force of four ste
nographers worked practically all of
Tuesday night in preparing the neces-
sary transcript, embodying the indict-
ments verdictss pleas, court orders,
etc, and the completed papers were
turned over to the Allen lawyers about
noon.
If the Supreme court acts favor
ably on the appeal its action will act as
a stay of execution for Claude. If il
does not he will go to his death Fri
day, the 2Sth, with his father.

Do NOT BELIEVE

GREEK PAPER DENIES THE

PINS FAITH IN STORY.

Among the members OF Richmond
Greek colony the story OF the assassi-
nation OF King George Is still taken
with a grain OF salt, and even late
last night, twenty-four hours after the
receipt of news of the tragedy. there
were still toi be found among the loyal
subjects OF the monarch those who
believed that the story of his cruel
taking off was canard pure and sim
pie.

clans ~ easy OF explanation. The

Atlantis" to which practically all of
them are subscribers, reached Rich
mond yesterday afternoon with fam
ing headlines. seven columns wide.
stating that King George was mob
dead. The sensational announcement
Of the assassination ~hSr -ths~American
press was a snare and a delusion. AS
a lead 10 the story there was a cable
gram purporting 10 come from a
member of the royal family at Salon
tka denying the report that he was
dead. No amount or argument could
convince the subscribers OF Atlantis
at hat anything else was true, and
though the mem bers or the Greek col
ony take the Richmond dailies and
keep abreast Of events, they waited
to see what Atlantis had 70 say about
IL and regarded what Atlantis did say
as law and gospel. Whether the as
tute correspondent of Atlantis dis
covered the tragedy yesterday In time
To cable ii to his paper for pubiica-
ton this morning yet remains TO be

THE objectionable Sin" was the
subject of DR.. n. A. Porter's sermon
at the First Baptist church last might.
DR.. Porter was heard by good con-
gregation. as at every meeting he has
held since opening his revival services
nearly two weeks ago.
Her sermon last night was based on
the text. Therefore. I say unto you
every sin and blasphemy shall be for
given unto men; but the blashpemy
against the spirit shall not be for
given" found in Matthew IL: 81.
Explains Meaning.
Discussing the character of the I'M
pardonable sin, DR.. Porter said that
II is no specific act. but that state
of mind brought about by a continued
rejection of Christ. notwithstanding
the evidence, the example and the re-
peated calls---the final NO" which
cannot be recalled. 1T is possible
he said. "for a man to siay the power
and ability to repent"
"Who can commit the objectionable

but in the main we are not aware

Giving a word Of comfort to his con-
gregation, Dir. Porter said: Are you
fearful that you have committed the
objectionable sin2 Then you are not
the man. You have not. Your fear
is sign from God that you have not"
Word of Warming
Then came word of warning from
the preacher:
YOU have not yet committed the
objectionable SIM" he said, but you
are not the man you used to be II
you are losing time. You are getting
harder ard harder and further and
further away. You are on the way;
you are on the road to the state when
nothing can eve you or save you.

DR. Porter will close his revival
Sunday night. having come here from
Louisville for a two weeks stay. His
services have been most successfully
conducted and twice daily he has
been heard by good congregations.
Many have been moved by his fervent
elouuence and by his simple, yet i'm
pressive Interpretation Of the word
Of God. and have been converted
through him.

TRY EXPERIMENTS
IN VIRGINIA TOWNS

Cape Charles and Berryville are the
two towns in Virginia which have
been selected by the postotfice de-
partment under the terms of a law
passed by the last congress appropri-
ating 100000 for experiments in free
mail delivery in towns of less than
10000 people, the present general
limit for free delivery. In North Caro-
lima the only town yet recommended
for the experiment Is Newton, and in
this case the recommendation has not
been finally acted on. The limit of the
Appropriation makes it impossible to
include more than two or three towns
in one State.
