NATURALIZATION
FOR WHITES ONLY
Senator Newlands Comes Out
Against Other Aliens-Mixed
Races Great Menace.

San Francisco, July 26.-United
States Senator Francis &. Newlands
Of Nevada announced today that he
has taken stand squarely against
the naturalization of aliens who do not
belong to the white race and In favor
of measures to prevent in This country
any mixture of races differing in color.
Answering question regarding the
alien land law and the problem back
of it, Senator Newlands said:
81 believe that immigration to this
country, except for purposes OF com.
merce, education and travel, should be
confined 10 people of the white race
and that we should confer citizenship
upon none but people of the white
race.
~ also believe that we shluid write
the word white" in our Constitution
and restrict Suffrage TO the people o.
the white race, at the same time max
ing humane provision for the indus
trial training and education of the
blacks within our borders in such a
way as to aid them in maintaining, at
some time in the future, an individual

NEWPORT Wins
DOUBLE HEADER
The Town Boys Get Together
and Out-rival Country Boys
in Baseball Game.

The Newport Baseball team APP
peared in their old form Saturday after
noon and snatched from the hands of
the Briar Thicket Team two games,
the country lads having been victor
ious in game of Saturday previous.
The winning team appeared upon the
field in good spirit anu seemed to real
ize that they we've going to win both
games, although the "Thicket" boys
were in the game at all times, but
they were Out-classed at the bat, but
at several stages OF the second game it
looked as though the country boys
were going to win the game. But in
the last half of the sixth inning of the
game, Ruby McNabb connected with
the ball and there being three men on
bases the hit resulted in four runs, he
luckily knocked straight just inside
of first base that could not be reached
by any of the players. And shortly
afterwards b. Burnett connected with
one of the visiting bows swift inns
and landed it over the head of the
center fielder, resulting in two runs,
this being the principal events of lhe
games.
"Bill" Weaver pitched for the town
boys, and the boys from the"Thicket''
seemed to get weakened at the name
"Weaver in the box" and when he be.
gan 10 curve his swift's around theiI
necks they seemed to use the club
carelessly. The score was as follows
First game, 20; Second game, 7-12.

San Francisco, July 25,-Assurance
that the battleship fleet will steam
through the Panama Canal next
Spring and thereafter will spend as
much time iu the Pacific as the At

Navy Josephus Daniels upon his ar

To the newspaper men he declared
that the presence of the battleship fleet
in these waters during approximately
half the time means the necessity of
providing adequate facilities for han
ding 1t.
"During the day / shall inspect all

urged ON the department, he said.

if Congress see fit to make the appro-

up to a board of experts. A newspaper
editor would hardly be expected to
qualify as an expert. ...
"After the canal is opened the fleet
will spend as much Time in the Pacific
as in the Atlantic, and we must have
facilities here for handling the ships.
One thing follows the other. This is as
much as can say. we hope to send
the first fleet through the pcanal in the

DREAD DISEASE

the State Board of Health, TeM
of Its Magnilude-Said io Eac-
Akin to Leprosy-The Mystes-
ious Disease Has Claimed Sev
eral Victims in Cooke County
Government Experts at Work.

Nashville, July 25.-With the doe
tors OF Tennessee ana the rest of tire
United States dumiouuded bv its aI-
palling spread, yet helpless to preveNE
it, pellagra, said bv some theorists 10
be akin to leprosy, has advanced over
this state during the past twelve
months with astonishingly increasing
numbers of victims IN It's wake. 49,

of the State Board OF Health, thare IN

and Tennessee, like other Soutners
States most affected, is waiting aDA

Seven years ago there were abous
1000 cases OF peliagra in the South
To-day there are over 10000. OF these,
Tennessee has her share of the victiYss
of the mysterious death.
Atpreseni, according 10 DR.. Liliars
the work on the disease is an inter
state matter, and until the Govern-
ment men have found out the cause 0f
pellagra the state officials can do moth
ing to eradicate it. Once this cause il
found, however, it Will be practically
easy for the proper State authorities 70
handle the situation, in much tisc
same manner as smallpox or dips-
theta. For three years, Governments
experts have been trying to discoyer
the cause of pellagra, and as yet have
met with no success.
In stating that there is at present
no known cure for the disease, Dr.
Liliard qualified this by adding that
death from pelagra and some of tire
suffering could be postponed or offecs
temporarily by arsenical preparations
Arsenic, he" said, is now the only
known means by which the disease
can be combatted at all.
AS the theories OF the cause Of pet

them had been established. Sonne

$4,000 FAIL TO ATTEND
Compulsory School Law Will Not
Increase Expenses of Running
the Schools to Great Extent
Affects Negroes Same AS the
Whites-Prof. Brister Says the
Negroes Can Be Made to At
tend Easier Than Whites.

Nashville, July 25-School activity
all over the State is now at its height
according to State Superintendent of
Public instruction Brister, who return
ed Yesterday from two weeks trip
through Virginia and East Tennessee.
Following the offer made by the State
through recent legislation, the county
high school preparations especially
have been stimulated, applications for
state aid aggregating over $4,000 hav-
ing been spoken for bycounty officials.
Chief among the new developments
are those regarding the building OF new
county high schools and the installa-
tiOn of industrial courses in old and
new ones over the State. Ten counties
not heretofore having county high
school will open them this fall through
the beneficence of the State, and thir-
ty counties have signIfied their inten-
tIons of applying for State help in
nauguratlng agricultural and domes-
tic science courses.
In the industrial courses the State
offers to duplicate up to the sum of
$500 any amount appropriated by the
county for this work. The thirty ap-
plications, s,practicaily all of which will
be for the maximum amount, would
make the state aid in this work amount
to $4,000.
Another of the States offers which
is meeting with ready acceptance is
that regarding the consolidation of
country schools. Whenever possible,
q number of one-teacher schools~are
planned to be consolidated into laTg-
school and with several teachers, TO
which the children of remoter parts of
the county or district will be brought
in conveyances. The State offers aid
to the extent of 81 900 to every COM
munity desiring to make such con-
solidation. Already about twenty
such have applied for State aid.
Still another feature is that OF school
supervisors, who are designed to take
the place among number of country
schools which the city school principal
occupies in his single school. About
twenty counties have applied for State
aid for this purpose. The State pro-
poses to give half what the county
gives, the States part not to exceed
$500.
Prof. Brister stated that the new
compulsory education law would not
MAKE very appreciable increase in
school expenses. There are about 8O,.
600 children in the State within the
prescribed limits who did not attend
school last year. Only about half this
number, Prof. Brister figures, will be
brought in under the new law. AS
