Malaria, Pellagra and Other
Diseases Dragged Out
Into the Open and
Examined

Lexington. KY, November IA num-
Der of the ills that man is heir to were
hguratively put through the third de

tions of the Southern Medical assoeia-
tion's convention. Malaria. the ancient
enemy of the race; pellagra. a more re-
Gently oatalogued foe, and various patho-
logical conditions We're dragged out into
the open and examined in papers and adj
dresses as to their causes. their preven-
ton and their cure.
One of the interesting statements made
before the medical section came from Dr.
w. A. Dearman of Long Beach, Miss He
said that extensive experiments had con-
yinced him that pellagra is q parasitic in
lection and that its prevalence in many
households is chargeable to those lowly
twins, the bedbug and the flea. When
monkeys and rabbits are inoculated with
the virus of pellagra. he said, they exhibit
symptoms similar to those that indicate
the presence of the disease in man. In
pursuance of his experiments he has eX-
amined dogs, cats, monkeys, rabbits and
various insect pests and he expressed his
determination to continue his research un-
til he discovers the parasite itself After
that, il he should find a specific, he said
he would give it to his brethren of the
profession.

Important Subjects Discussed
NEGRO METHODIST
CONFERENCE MEETS

Exhorting the preachers to lives of
service. to usefulness and conservation to
duty, and pleading for a better need of
appreciation on the part of the laity of
the work of the negro ministry, Bishop
]. W. Alstork of Montgomery opened the
North Alabama conference of that church
yesterday in Trinity African Methodist
Episcopal Zion church. Nineteenth street
and Ensley avenue, Ensley. Attending
the conference are more than 200 negro
ministers and lay delegates from the
northern portion of the state.
Considerable time was consumed in
Strengthening the roll and placing minis
ters in the proper conference, by reason
of the fact that this session of the North
Alabama conference will bring about the
elimination of the movement begun last
year by which the conference will be di-
vided into the North Alabama and Ca
haba conferences.
The Rev. H. r. Gaines preached the
Introductory sermon at the morning ses-
sion.
All preliminary business out of the way
the conference will get down to business
this morning, hearing the reports of the
various delegates.

Mexican mind was reassurng rather than
otherwise because the Mexican people
continue to look upon Great Britain as
friend. In official quarters the dis
patch of the squadron was styled as an
act of courtesy.
The foreign colonies in the Mexican
capital are preparing to defend them
selves in the event of disturbances In
the city and particularly should the final
settlement be left to the MeXicans them
selves. Both Sir Lionel Garden and Ad-

gested to their nations the advisability
of perfecting some sort of defense or
ganizatio
No such advice has been given to the
Americans but committees are quietly

The money would be apportioned among
the states according to their rural postal
route mileage and would be expended
only where the state provides 50 for each
dollar of federal money.
The Smith bill also includes a provision
similar to the Shackelford bill, proposed
in the House in the last Congress, under
which definite sums would be spent by
the federal government upon roads used

CONFERENCE COMES
TO AN ABRUPT END

Nogales, Sonora, Mex, November 49,
Conferences between William Bayard
Hale, personal representative of Pres
ident Wilson, and the Mexican consti-
tutionalists' chiefs were terminated
abruptly because General Carranza re-
fused to answer certain questions pro-
pounded by President Wilson and not
as result of the MeXicans demand
that Mr.. Hale present his formal cre-
dentials.

Hale Leaves Nogales

Hale left Nogales at late hour to-
night, and Ii is believed he returned i
Tucson. Escudero and Bonillas, how
ever, were not aware of his departure
until after he had gone.
Concerning Escudero's statement last
night relating to the demand for
Hale's credentials, trustworthy infor-
nation today confirmed the truth Of
IIale's assertion that the Escudero YER
sion was a complete misrepresenta-
tion of what occurred The question
of credentials it developed waht a mere
subterfuge to cover Carranza's unwil-
lingness to answer certain questions
propounded by President Wilson. Car
rama had evaded these and then alb
sented himself from two conferences
on excuses
Mr. Hale refused to continue with
out Carranza. Thereupon Carranza S
cabinet ministers asked Hale to reduce
President Wilson's questions to writ
ing and submit them through Escudero
promising that they would be debated
at meeting of the full cabinet and
written answer returned.
Hale is understood TO have replied to
this suggestion that it was plainly a
play for delay. He made 1t clear that
he would treat directly and deal
frankly with Carranza, but not with
Intermediates. He demanded an au-
thoritative and immediate answer to
the American Presidents inquiries.
The constitutionallst leaders carried
the American ultimatum to their ch1ef
and then, it is said, gave out the story
of the demand for Hale's credentials
in order to explain the rupture
General Carranza it Is said, was con-
fident the American envoy would recede
from his attitude and made plans for his
departure today in the expectation of
fastening this outcome.
1t was learned tonight that General
Carranza had tried to place the American
envoy in the attitude of formally recog-
nizing his provisional government. When
the first meeting was arranged, the con-
sttutionalists planned to receive the en-
voy in state, with all the formality due
an ambassador. Mr. Hale vetoed this
programme and insisted that the confer
ences should be entirely of an informal
nature.

cent of the white children were enrolled
in the public schools for whites and only
IL per cent of the negro children In the
public schools maintained by them," said
Mr.. Willingham.
The percentage will be increased TO
80 per cent for whites and 46 for col
ored when those attending secondary
institutions and colleges provided by
the state are added to the list. Ref
erring to this section. the superinten
dent said: This is only another way
of saying that one-flfth of the white
children within school age in Alabama
last year did not have names enrolled
even for a day in any school what
ever. and in like manner a little more
than nalf of the negro youths of the
state did not attend any school even
for single day"
The average school term during the
year was 1873 days for whites and 81
days for negroes. This is an increase
over last year of one day for whites
and one for negroes. but in reaching
this conclusion consideration was
taken of the fact that city schools
have nine-month sessions. TT is
plainly evident therefore, that the ru-
raj schools upon which more than
three -fourths of the children depend
for their educational preparation for
life We're in fact considerably shorter
In term than this average" said the
report
Public schools taught last year were
1853 white and 1872 colored, compared
with 1875 white and 1897 colored in
1912 In the schools Ills white and
2371 colored teachers were employed
being an increase in three years from
1884 white and 2243 negro teachers
Among the teachers holding positions
in white schools are 753 life certifi-
Gates, 1898 first grade, 281S second
grade and 1851 third grade OF GER
tificates held by negroes 1874 are life,
% first, 544 second and 1865 third.
Average salaries of white teachers were
1929 for men and $346 for women. Yearly
income of negro teachers averaged $19l
for men and 1853 for women. Superintend-
ent Willingham said better salaries were
necessary If persons who are able to
handle the problems are brought Into the
service of the state through the eduea-
tional department.
Important Subjects Discussed
Among important subjects discussed by
Superintendent Willingham were boys
corn clubs, teachers improvement asso-
Citations, public libraries, teachers read
ing circles, better school houses, girls
canning clubs, official visits of county
superintendent, work of the state su-
pervisors of rural schools, city school Ii

ton of having two sets of reasons in
consistent with each other. If the
removal of the tariff on farm products
is going to give the consumer cheaper
foods" he declared, then tariff on
these products gives the producer a
better market and the producer is
benefited by it. .r
ION the other hand, if, as is con.
tended, the tariff on farm products is
of benefit to the producer, then it can
only be because the tariff does not
increase the price Of these products;
and If it does not increase the price
then where is there any excuse for
stating that the removal Of the tariff
is going to benefit the consumer"
He said the countervailing duty pro-
vision on wheat and -four is OF no val

countries which have no wheat don't
