SENATE ID START WORK ON FEDERAL TRADE MEASURE Believed There Will Be No Open Revolt to Six
 Weeks More of.
 Work

Washington. June 2S.--Convinced there one that begins with trust legislation the Senate this week will settle down to work on the federal trade commission bill
 The Senate Is far from resigned to fhe thought of six weeks or more of trust Legislation discussion in midsummer. but 1t is not probable the spirit of open re- volt will show itself on the floor. Unless Senate leaders are at fault in their pre- dictons, the three House bill on legis- lation designed to cover the same ground will be put by the familiar process weeks of debate in fruitless effort to amend and then pass them. /
 There is no doubt that if the President relented In insistence on the antitrust
 programme, Congress would get away from Washington in two weeks or less The House could be ready to get away Fin a few days and the Senate is not far behind as far as Appropriating measures are concerned.
 The trade commission bill is the un- finished business of the Senate; the Clay ton antitrust bill Is still unfinished by the judiciary committee and the railway capitalization bill is in about the same shape in the hands of the interstate commerce committee. Just when the last two measures will get to the Senate floor lis doubtful. The judiciary committee has found the Clayton bill difficult prob- lem and has made and remade many of its sections. Although many of the Sen ate's leading lawyers are on this com mittee, they have found a difficult task and the trouble in committee is regarded las prelude to the fight that will come when the legislation reaches the floor. An effort will be made by the inter- state commerce committee to get together on the railway securities bill this week Chairman Newlands will ask represen- tatives of railroads and of the interstate commerce commission to meet with the committee to discuss plan proposed by Louis D. Brandeis for the regulation of railway security Issues.
 The Senate foreign relations commit tee will continue its investigation into
 transactions leading up to the negotia- tion of the proposed treaty with Nicara- qua.
 The banking and currency committee plans to meet Thursday to take up Presi- dent Wilson's nominations for the fed eral reserve board.

Mayor Behrman of New Orleans, members of the legislature and health board went into conference to determine upon methods to be employed by the city and state in stamping out the dis ease.
 While definite announcement has not been made. 1t is known that a campaign for the extermination of rats and fieas is among the preventive measures to be undertaken. It was stated tonight that a bill would be introduced in the legis- lature at Baton Rouge tomorrow ,appro- priating funds with which to fight the contagion.
 w w. Wilkinson, an inmate of the Volunteers of America home. was yes terday sent to large local hospital sup ported by the municipality. This after noon his malady was diagnosed as bu- bOnlc plague. I1t is Jv Scdi D pi' HAu q native of Texas. but has resided here for the past six months
 Charles Lundene a Swede, aged 49, who died today, was also an inmate of the Volunteers of America home.
 The 27 other members of the home this afternoon were marched through the streets to an abandoned ruin in the outskirts of the city, where they Were placed in quarantine. Every article of furniture and bedding the home con tained was piled on the street in front of the building and bonfire started. A quantity of secondhand clothing was among the articles destroyed, as 1t was thought possible that the contagion had been communicated by the cast-on gar ments. As the inmates of the home marched two and two through the streets large crowds gathered to watch the un- usual procession.
 It is expected that tomorrow the city and state health authorities will take vigorous steps for a general cleanup campaign.

Nashville's un- ia avorable advertisement Is confined to its politics It's police record s good.
 In the above there Is food for thought In the first place, one Is impressed with the fact that good school is an excellent medium. of advertisement. That adver- tising pays Is an axiom with which every body is familiar. In the second place. one is impressed with the fact that Nashville
 is not stigmatized by the adjective bad There is reason. Schools directly affect morals. Brminghams morals need a Icourse of treatement. Birmingham re- quires just such an inflenee for refine ment as the Methodist college would exert.
 In previous articles attention has been directed to the money argument, most subtle and appealing argument when one Iattempts to talk to men who possess money. That argument however. is not the most powerful-or should not be. Bir- mingham should proceed to annex the Methodist college because that college would have an elevating effect Birming- hams morals--would directly or indirectly improve Birnlingham's police record.

Will Hasten Consultation

General Carranza it was learned aere tonight informed the medlators in his' latest communication that because of the plan of Guadaloupe. under which he was chosen first chief of the constitutionalists. it would be necessary for him to confer with his associutes before entering such important negotiations. Acceptance of any proposed provisional government to succeed Huerta. he said, necessarily might require some change In the terms of the Guadaloupe plan, and this could not be done without the consent of various military leaders in the constitutionalist movement.
 General Carranza is said to have as- sured the inediators he would hasten tne proposed consultation with his chiefs. some of the consttutionalist representa- tlves it Washington still insist that Gen- eial Carranza has been inuuencea to iook with favor on the proposal 10 confer Wsth tho nited States commissioners and

 Many perpexing clements have devcl- oped in the situation, however, among them being the apparent disagreement between Carranzas agents here over tie recent break with Villa and the publica- ton of the statement attacking General Angeles, authorized by Alfredo Braccda, General Carranza $ personal aide, who came to Washington from Saltillo for this purpose.
 In the preparation of the statement at taeklng Angeles and confirming that the breach between Villa and carranza had not been altogether healed Brecada was aided by l.iiis Cabrera, one of 0afranza' principal agents here, who is advocating participation In the informal conference. Cabrera and Rafael Zubarnn, member of Carranza s cabinet. disagreed as 10 tho wisdom of giving out such a statement. Zubaran late last night, several hours after Braceda's statement had been given to the press, tried to have it recalled. Zubaran, it has become known, wanted the statement tempered at least, if 1t was to be published at all
