Another sanatorium with capacity

the enlargement. Its value has been
fully demonstrated. There Is no
longer any element OF experiment in
the work But another institution is
much needed and it should be located
somewhere in the western part Of the

There Is one thing more needed to
bring about the complete hospitaliZa-
ton of our tuberculosis people, and
that is to have the state develop some

The meeting of the commercial club
to talk over aviation prospects for this
city was considered a decided success,
altho the speaker scheduled for the oc-
casion, James s. Stevens, could not be
present. Much enthusiasm was dis

selling trip of some months thru the
south and is acquainted with u wide
range of conditions. Senator Spauldng
especially emphasized the honor of
Grinnell as he urged the retaining OF

There will be a regular Christmas

ESTIMATING SUNDAYS WORK.

Among Evangelists Converts.
Des Moines, Dec. 23.-That not more
han 1000 adult persons who We're not
protesting Christians before the Sun
day meetings began will be received
into the churches of Des Moines as a
result Of the campaign seems to be the
concensus Of opinion among local min
listers.
OF the more than 10000 persons who
hit the trail during the revival 1t is
estimated that more than $500 were
from out of town, approximately $500
were children and about the same
number are estimated to have been
church members who simply desired
to rededicate themselves.
One OF the largest local churches has
received total of 5G4 cards as a re-
suit of the meetings, according to its
pastor. OF this number eighty two
were rehabilitation" cards and fifty
three were children too young to be
received.
Another church has received 800
cards. Approximately one fifth Of this
number, or sixty cards, are marked
"rededication" while about twenty are
signed by children. The pastor of this
church accounts for the small number
of youthful additions by reason OF the
fact that most all the members Of his
congregation have brought their chill
dren on occasions previous TO the re-
vival.
One of tho most Interesting facts
about the campaign was the great
number of persons VINO attended from
out of the city and even from out OF
the state 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 men and women who at
tended at various times were from out
side of Des Moines.

Council Bluffs. Dec. %. = Believing
that the people in the vicinity of Avoca
are, and should be, proud Of the pres
ence Of the only herd Of Wild deer IN
the state of Iowa. or any OF the ad-
joining states. for that matter, State
Game Warden e. c. Hinshaw. of Spirit
Lake, who was in the city Monday, be-
lieves that some arrangement should
be made to keep part Of the deer there,
while cutting down the herd to point
where the damage to the surrounding
crops of the farmers will be practically
negligible.
Mr.. Hinshaw and his deputy, Charles
S. Hobson, of Clarinda. spent Monday
in Council Bluffs going over different
phases of the local situation with re-
gard to the enforcement OF the game
laws with friends here, leaving Tues
day morning for Avoca to investigate
the deer situation there and see just
what the people of that vicinity desire
in the ma tier of regulation.
II hardly know what will be done re-
garding the big herd Of deer running
wild near Avoca," said Mr.. Hinshaw
because / haven't been there to see
just what the people want II is pure
~ a local condition there, for 1t is the
only place in the state where they
have wild deer. Indeed. very few peo-
pie understand that there are several
hundred deer actually running at large
In that vicinity and it is quite COM

story.

"As a matter of fact the deer around
Avoca had made that town more

state among the sportsman Every
where l go ] am asked about the deer
there.
II have it in mind to suggest to the
people there to make some sort OF
regulation that will permit the deer to

THREE CHILDREN cREMATED.
Were Alone In House When Fire
Breaks Out.

Roanoke, va-Three children were
cremated at Pocahontas when their
home caught fire while their mother
and father were away. Wiley Belcher,
the father, was at work in the mines
of the Norfolk Colliery. The mother
left their little mountain home, stu
ated about half mile from the tipple
of the Booth Bowen Coal Company,
leaving the three tots, ranging in age
from one to five years, in the house
while she visited neighbor about a
quarter of a mile away. The house
caught fire through cause as yet
unknown and was burned to the
ground. Only the blackened bones of
the children remained when the ruins
had cooled sufficiently to permit the
frantic parents TO search for traces of
their little ones.

LOVELY LEPER'S
LOFTY MISSION
John Early Tells Why He Came
to Washington.
He WANTS A NATIONAL HOME
He Says He Realizes He Is Leper,
But That His Doom Does No,
Terrify Him-His Case As
National Example.

Washington, D. C.-John Early, the
leper~ placed under restraint by the
District authorities when he revealed
his identity at the fashionable Shore
ham Hotel, after two days residence
there, told the story of how he moved
freely about in the best hotels and
restaurants of the country, rode in
company with ex.Attorney General
Grey and his family, of Canada, on a
Canadian Pacific train from Vancouver
to Montreal, and rode up on Shore
ham elevator, rubbing elbows with
vice-President Marshall on Monday.
81 know l am leper now" he said,
81 am resigned to my own fate. My
wife and children have left me, l am
alone in the world. My doom does
not terrify me. But l want my case
to serve as a great national example
and bring about the proper treatment
of unfortunates afflicted as l am.
Wants National Home.
81 appeal to Congress to establish
a national home for lepers, where they
may receive proper care and not be
shunted about and driven from place
TO place as / have been. They are un-
happy treated thus, and great dam
ger to the community at large. That
is my sole object in coming to Wash
ington-to attract attention to the cry
ing necessity of such an institution in
this country. My poor people, re-
fer TO the leper class of which L am
one-are unable to care for themselves.
They are unclean in every sense OF
the word They are menace to every
well person. Placed under govern
ment care they could lead happier
lives and enjoy a few pleasures. be-
lieve there are thirty or forty lepers
walking the streets of New York to-
day. This should not be.
The World Behind Him.
1.-THE John Early that was is dead
to the world. l have put the world
behind me. From now l am willing to
be isolated, to have the warning bell
of the unclean rung as l approach, to
feel that men shrink from me with
the world-old fear of the terrible dis
ease that has been laid upon me, but l
want my appeal to be heard.

President Says Navy is An In
strument of Civilization.
TALKS TO THE MIDSHIPMEN.
Pays High Tribute To the Boys Al
Vera Cruz and a Higher One To
FIetcher-The Girls Retain the Dis.
carded Caps.

Annapolis, Md.-President Wilson
was given royal reception here Fri
day, on his arrival to address the l54
members of the Naval Academy gradu'
ating class and to present the sheep
skin to each graduate. His 1ndlrecI
illusions to the Mexican crisis made
profound impression. He ELECTED
great applause when he said that the
United States Navy and its big tight
ing machines represent humane serv'
ice, rather than any desire to light on
a slight provocation. In his only refer
ence to the Mexican affairs he took oc'
casion to highly praise Admiral
Fletcher for the diplomatic and hui
name manner in which he has handled
the complicated situations that have
confronted him, and added: Il have
learned to admire him more and ap
preciate his great worth as / have
watched carefully his tender and kind
treatment of the people who were wont
to fear and distrust Americans"
He referred to the service being
rendered at Vera Cruz by the soldiers
and sailors. 1t has been necessary to
use some force there, said he, and
after moments pause and with
bowed head, his hands tightly gripped
together, he said, slowly:
81 pray God that it will not be
necessary for use to use any more
force down there"
Not For Conquest.
The President said, in part:
1T ought to be one of your thoughts
all the time that you are sample
Americans, not merely sample Navy
men. not merely sample soldiers, but
sample Americans, and that you have
the point of view of America with re-
gard to her Navy and her Army; that
she is using them as the instruments
of civilization, not as the instruments
of aggression. The idea of America
is to serve humanity and every time
you let the Stars and Stripes free to
the wind you ought to realize that
that is in itself message that you
are on an errand which other navies
have sometimes forgotten; not an
errand of conquest but an errand OF
service. always have the same
thought when l look at the flag OF
the United States, for l know some
thing of the history of the struggle
of mankind for liberty.
when l look at that flag it seems
to me as if the white stripes were
strips of parchment upon which are
written the rights of man, and the
red stripes the streams of blood by
which those rights have been made
good. Then in the little blue frma.
ment in the corner have swung out
the stars of the States of the Ameri-
can Union. So it is. as it were,
sort of floating charter that has come
down to US from Runnymeade, when
men said, We will not have masters;
we will be people and we will seek
our own liberty"

Philadelphia.-To satisfy the sweet
tooth of the bluejackets of the Atlantic

CARRANzA MAY
JOIN CONFERENCE
Reports Say He Will Agree To
All But Armistice.
HUERTA ORDERS BLOCKADE.
Dictator's Declaration OF Retirement
Said To Have No Strings At
tached, AS Has Been
Thought.

Washington, D. C.-Unofficial re-
ports say that General Carranza, chief
of the revolutionary forces in Mexico,
was willing to participate in the media
ton conference at Niagara Falls on
condition that there should be no
armistice between his forces and the
Huerta government and that Mexican
internal questions should be consider
ed which concern only such affairs as
had been developed by the American
occupation of Vera Cruz.
Officials here would not discuss the
formation.
The Foreign Office sent note to
the legations notifying them that the
port of Tampico had been blockaded
by order of President Huerta.
Despite alarmist reports from many
sources, arising because of the ship
ments of arms to the Constituencies
at Tampico from United States ports,
there was no apprehension apparent
here in Government sources. Depart
ment heads seemed to be confident
that General Huerta would not attempt
to blockade the port Of Tampico
against the delivery by the Cuban
steamer Antilla of arms for the Con-
stitutionalists. The American State
Department, It was pointed out, was
fully satisfied of its right to prevent
such a blockade of the port by Huerta's
ships.
In consequence of these develop
ments it was expected here that there
would be no interference either on the
part of the United States or General
Huerta with the landing of ammuni-
ton at Tampico from the steamship
Antilla. Admiral Badger reported
from Vera Cruz that Huerta's gun
boats were at anchor in Puerta Mexico
harbor and at Alvarado.
A big cargo of arms for the Consti-
tutionalists was landed at Tampico
while Admiral Mayo's flag lieutenant
stood by. but took no action.
The arms were from the Sushine,
from Galveston.
Notice was given the American Con-
sui at Tampico of the proposed block
ade, so that warships could keep out
of the line of fire.
That there are no strings to Huerta's
declaration that he will get out when
assurances of a pacified Mexico are
given was announced by Rabasa, of the
Mexican delegation. Huerta is will
ing TO accept provisional govern
ment
A fourth conference of Americans
and Mexicans was held. Subjects I'M
der discussion were those developed in
the early meetings.
The mediators are said to be ready
to agree even with Carranza.
The proposition from the A B c
mediators to General Carranza merely
requests the participation of the Con-
stitutionalists in the Niagara Falls
conferences to settle the Mexican diff
ficulty. 1t embodies no specific re-
quest that General Carranza discuss
either internal or international ques-
tons, nor does ii even specify that an
armistice between the reyolutionists
and the Huerta troops must be estab-
lished, according'to the version given
here.
