White PLAQUE Death Rate.

The investigation showed that
among some of the indian tribes the
death rate from tuberculosis Is very
high and that immediate adoption OF
measures for the relief OF the situa-
ton Is warranted.
Smallpox was found 10 be little
prevalent among Indians at the pros
ent time. Evidence was found that
the Indian population Ia vaccinated
with approximately as great de-
gree OF thoroughness as the rural
white population.
The report contains many sugges-
t,ons which, II Ia believed, will greatly
aid in improving sanitary conditions
among Indians n Is recommended
that every effort be made to improve
the Indians economic status by teach

No Freak Dances Go
At West Virginia's
Inauguration Ball
Only Two-Steps, Waltzes and
Lancers Will Be Permitted
by Committee.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, March A
The Inauguration committee of the
state of West Virginia, which has
charge of the inaugural ball to be held
here tonight, has posted the fol-
lowing announcement:
Only two-steps. waltzes and lancers
will be danced. All others. like the
turkey trot,' grizzly bear wine jelly
roll or 'angleworm wiggle' will not be
allowed under any circumstances, and
all such terpsichorean gyrations and
exhibitions have been tabooed every
where except on shanty boats and in
cabarets"
Shortly after IL o'clock today, and
almost at the same time that Woodrow
Wilson, in Washington, was being in
augurated president of the United
States, Henry Drury Hatfield was
sworn in as governor of West Vir-
ginia. The new chief executive is a
Republican. The inaugural ceremonies
were held in the house of delegates
following a street pageant.

CHARTER MAKERS
To SUBMIT DRAF 7

The charter revision committee of 25
will meet this afternoon and recon-
mend to council that the Gambler Hop
kins McClelland charter be submitted
to the people within 80 days. Council is
to hold a special meeting Thursday aft
ernoon and 1t is expected that the COM
mittees report will be submitted at that
time.
Only four members Of the committee
|-Councilmen Orville H. Hall, George
II. Boynton, Claude L. Ashley and J.
III. Greer--are openly opposed to the
charter so far Councilman Boynton is
out of the city. Councilman Hall said
he had not decided what action he
would take at the meeting this after
noon. Councilman Ashley said he was
willing to take his fight to the people.
So there seems to be little opportuni-
ty for fight in the committee of %.
Council is reconciled to submitting the
charter to the people, but not until the
legislature has passed on it.
The committee of % will insist that
the people be allowed to express them
selves as soon as possible. This move
ment is expected to result in two char
ters being submitted to the people, the
new charter and the present charter as
revamped by councilmen and politi-
clans
The idea of the reformers is that At
lanta is capable of selecting her own
organic laws and that the people should
express their wishes without interior
ence from the Legislature.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
ANNOUNCE RATE CUT
Effort Being Made to Compete
with Parcels Post

Chicago, Dec. 31.-The express com
panies doing business in Chicago have
announced rates which will deal a
blow at the parcels post. The ex-
press companies propose reductions
in rates, cutting the figures below the
schedule of the new parcels post law
which becomes effective Wednesday.
The result forecast by students of
the situation will be that the mail or
der houses and other concerns patron
izing the transportation companies
will not be led to any greater use of
the mails than at present.
For a radius of $50 miles from Chi
cago for packages up to six pounds,
the table of rates by parcels post will
be materially lower by comparison
but for packages over that weight the
express companies offer a consider
ably lower rate.

which leave no doubt as to the truth
in detail.
This scheme or campaign of dyna
hitting was entered into and carried
on throughout the country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and necessarily
involved the illegal transportation of
dynamite and nitroglycerine upon the
vehicle and cars of common carriers,
carrying passengers from state to
state.

"The evidence discloses an appalling
list of crimes in addition to those
charged in the indictments. These
crimes were all committed in the

believe that organized labor approves
of such practices. Any organization
that approves and adopts the meth

and will meet the fate which outlaws
have met since civilized society be-

"The evidence clearly establishes
that each of the defendants found
guilty by the verdict of the jury was
a member of this conspiracy and in
some measure aided and abetted In
the unlawful transportation charged
in the indictment. Upon this PROPOSE
