Addresses Tuberculosis Symposium at Convention of Southern Med ical Association ill Session
 in Richmond, Va.

Richmond, November 10.-The relation of the negro to disease in the south is a problem of the greatest importance in the opinion of pr. Robert Wilson. Jr., or Charleston. who addressed a tuberculosis symposium at the convention of the Southern Medical association here today.
 Tt is the clear duty of the south pr. Wilson said ito ascertain by careful clln- ical and postmortem study if the negro, under present living conditions, is a men, ace to the health of the white race. Such an investigation should be made in justice to both the white and negro peoples"
 Especial attention, the physician thought, should be given to the relation of the negro to the spread of pellagra. He asserted that statistics showed the negro to be highly susceptible to this dis ease, as compared with the Caucasian.
 Other speakers today advocated exten- sive educational campaigns as a method of preventing and curing tuberculosis. Some advocate placing all efforts to- ward eradicating the disease under the general control of state board sof health.
 Dr. c. M. Cooper of Clinton, N. C., made a plea for the establishment of a federal department of public health with a secretary at its head who would oc- cupy place in the Presidents cabinet.

COPPER CONSIGNED ID FOES OF ENGLAND SUBJECT ID SEIZURE
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice Makes Public Great Britain's At titude on Subject-No
 Agreement Reached

Washington, November 1o.-Great Brit sin will seize copper shipments from the United States to Italy if consigned ito order'' or are proven to be destined ulti- mately to a belligerent. This was an- bounced today by Sir Cecil Spring Rice. British ambassador after conference at the state department.
 The ambassador made the following statement:
 ''The Italian government has prohibited the export of copper from Italy, but not foreign country. Copper consigned to Italy for Italian use will not be subject to seizure. hut copper consigned to a belligerent or to order will be suspect. Arrangements are being made for the transit of copper to Switzerland for the use of that country on the guarantee of the proper authorities"
 The British government has found that Jtaly's embargo on the re-exportation of copper would not prevent a shipment originating in the United States from eventually reaching Germany. The Ital- ian government does not feel bound, ac cording to British understanding, to in- terfere with shipment from one country y 10 another, if Italian territory is merely used as an Intermediary stage in the tourney of a consignment of goods Italy construes obligation, it is said. to extend merely to preventing Italians from Te-exporting copper to the beligerents.
 The British ruling on the Italian view toward copper, in the opinion of the of- flcials here, will result in the detention Of all vessels at Gibraltar whose copper oargoes are not consigned to d specific oonsignee in a neutral country. All cop Der shipped before the product was put on the contraband list will be paid for by the British government whenever seized.
 The United States government has reached no agreement with Great Britain about the cargo of the Red Star liner Kroonland.
 The vessel was released but the cop per and rubber cargo was detained at Gi- raltar.

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
MT. Stewart of Talladega Must Be a Man of Action
 For He Talks Little
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

"The blunt truth is better than a fairy story"
 It was under this alluring motto that Henry Archibald Stewart made his fight for the legislature. However, MT. Stewart does not always practice what he breaches. For he declined to an swer any of the questions propounded by The Age-Herald, that Is, any of the questions which would have com mitted him to a policy.
 One would judge from his motto that he believed in cutting wood and per hitting the chips to fall where they may. But evidently he is a trifle more careful than his motto would indi- cate
 However, this newspaper or this re- porter can find no fault with Mir. Stew art From what we hear of him, he Is a good sort. It Is understood that his head is not full of theories im- possible of realization, and judging from the expression of his countenance we risk a guess that he Is not partial to the doctrine of Mrs. Henrietta Funk. The people of Talladega county who elected him to serve in the legislature speak highly of their representative elect. Everybody else should, there fore, be satisfied, especially in view of the fact that the future statesman once lived in Birmingham. The hero of the sketch was born De- , cember 29, 1859, in Mumford. He had no opportunity to acquire an already prepared education, so he educated himself. He is a Royal Arch Mason, a

RANDOLPH COUNTY
 JAIL CONDEMNED BY PRISON INSPECTOR
Prisoners Ordered Removed to Chambers County-Of- ficials Do Not CO-Oper-
 ate, Says Oates

Montgomery. November 1o-(Special) Because the Randolph county jail at Wedowee does not conform to the re- quirements of law in that 1t has not sufficient number of compartments and because it has an inadequate water supply and is lacking in various other respects, Dr. William H. Oates state prison inspector, has ordered the jail closed and the prisoners removed to the Chambers county jail.
 Several reports on the condition of the Randolph county jail were filed to- day by Dr. Oates. In his report to the governor the prison inspector com ments at length on the lack of facili- ties of the jail the lack of compart ments and an inadequate water supply being emphasized.
 The water supply for this jail comes from a spring about three-quarter of mile distant. by gravity pressure" said Dr. Oates. "The supply is made quate. There is second spring and branch available, which would easily remedy the inadequacy.
 Inside the jail the plumbing fixtures are in wornout, dilapidated, broken up condition.
 There is no hot water in the build Ing, painting is needed and the janitor service is unsatisfactory"
 Dr. Oates filed copy of his report to the governor to the board of county Commissioners of Randolph county. to whom he wrote in detail about the con- ditions of the Wedowee prison.
 "I note in reviewing correspondence had with the officials of Randolph county, in reference to this Jail, that there is an apparent lack of interest on the part of some of the officials in reference to the jail. and this depart ment has not received the co-opera- ton from your county that 1t has re- ceived from numerous other counties
 "The primary object of this depart ment Is the conservation of the health of the inmates of jails, and appreciat- ing the fact that your jail is inimical to their health, I am compelled again to order this jail closed until at least three of the compartments are made to comply with the law, and the above mentioned defects are remedied"
 pr. Oates also filed a report on the county jail of Talladega and the aims house of that county, both of which he declared to be in excellent condi- tion.
