FRACTIONAL IS Menace
TO WEST V|RG|N|ANS
q. S. Surgeon Reports Unusual
Number of Cases Among the Iso-
lated Mountain Folk.
Opinion That Disease Was Charge.
able to Alien Population Proved
Fallacious.

Trachoma. that dread disease, the worst
aspect of which is blindness. and which
in milder form manifests itself in granu-
lated eyelids, destruction of tissues sur
rounding the eyes and defective sight, is
widely prevalent In West Virginia and
northern Virginia. The results Of investi-
cations by the public health service !ndi-
cate that trachoma is one Of the most
serious health problems of West Virginia.
Strangest result of the investigation just
reported upon by Surgeon Taliaferro
Clark of the public health service is the
upsetting of preconceived opinion that
trachoma was chargeable to infection
brought in by alien population. In the
twenty-three counties of West Virginia
and the ten counties of Virginia under
scrutiny. they were Americans of many
generations who We're afflicted. Moreover.
the disease was known to their fore
fathers before imm: grafton had any part
in affecting hygienic conditions of the
locality.
Physicians Are Stirred.
The interest and understanding of local
physicians was aroused, and it is expect
ed that they will be more alert to con-
ditions and gain in wisdom to effectively
treat patients suffering with trachoma.
Methods of inspection to establish ira
choma infection were taught to health
and school authorities.
The object of the survey undertaken by
DIR. Clark was not detection Of every
case Of trachoma in the places visited.
but to outline the limits Of the Infected
territory, and to bring to the attention
of local physicians. school boards and
other authorities the dangers of this dis
ease and the necessity of concerted &C
ton for It's eradication. 1t is DR.. Clark S
belief that trachoma has existed among
these mountain people since their earliest
settlement. and that it has spread as
the population increased and because OF
the lack of sanitary precautions. A

II would manifestly be very difficult to
call out the Ulster volunteers to arrest

seizure of such civil officers might be &C
complished without violence. but it is
equally certain that no government in
London could afford to permit this to be
done without at least attempting to use
an army to stop it. Here comes in again
the question of the attitude of the army.
The Ulster unionists believe that the
army will refuse to obey the orders of
the present liberal government. If such
actual mutiny should break out in the
army the great danger then is trans

AMERICAN CODE
HELD BY HUERTA
SECRET BOOKS OF VICE CONSUL
SlLLlMAN IN HANDS or HUER-
IA. DEPARTMENT CODE.

Vera Cruz, May 27-John r. Sill
man. United States vice consul at Sal
tillo, who arrived here Tuesday, stated
that he was confined in the peniten-
tiary at Saltillo for three weeks under
orders OF the federal general Mas.
Mr.. Silliman declined to discuss the
taking of the state department code
from his office by General Mas, but
it is learned from other sources that
the books were not returned to him
when he was released.
Earlier Mr.. Silliman refused to dis
cuss incidents in connection with his
detention. Tuesday night he issued a
brief statement in which he described
his Journey from Saltillo and paid
tribute to II. L. Lecener, who escorted
him from Saltillo as the representa-
tive of the British vice consul there.
He also thanked the Brazilian minis
ter for his efforts which eventually
brought about Mr. Silliman's release.
Describing briefly his trip from Sal
tillo to Mexico City, the vice consul
said;
THE journey from Saltillo to San
Luis Potosi, which ordinarily requires
twelve hours, took seven days on ac-
count of frequent Interruptions by the
constitutionalists. The railroad and
telegraph lines We're badly damaged
and there were three engagements in
which a number on both sides We're
killed or wounded.
"The intention of the constitutional
lists appeared to be to isolate Saltillo
by cutting the only line of communica-
tion and forcing the evacuation of
the city When left Saltillo May IA, it
was reported that General Joaquin
Mas had 10000 or $1,000 men in or
near the city. The constitutionalists
did not seem prepared for an attack

TRIBUTE FROM BAR ASSOCIATION
Remarks OF Clinton o, Bum, Esq, of
the Oklahoma City Bar.

May il Please the Court:
1t is my privilege to speak OF Judge
Russell as a friend, and as the rep
resentatiye Of the American Bar asso-
citation, OF which deceased was an
honcreG member. Judge Russell has
attended the last two meetings and
had taken an active interest and part
in the association. At the time of his
death. be was a member of the local
council for Oklahoma. Because of his
strong personality, the state and the
association has lost valued and use
full member.
1t was our pleasure to first know
Judge Russell fifteen years ago, when
he came to the southern district of In
dian Territory from Dallas, Texas, to
appear in the trial of some important
cases. Shortly thereafter he took up
his lermanent residence at Ardmore.
His reputation as an able lawyer and
advocate. and a man of strong and
sterling character, had preceded him,
and We were happy to welcome one
of such distinction and ability to our
profe ssional comradeship. Let 1t be
understood that Ardmore at that time
was headquarters OF court district
ont of which has since been wholly or
partially carved eleven counties, and
that the United States court there held
was perhaps the largest in point OF
business of any single court in the
United States. From that time until
statehood Judge Russell enjoyed a
large and lucrative practice through
out indian Territory and Oklahoma.
As an advocate, he had no superior,
and few equals.
As usual with men of great mental
ity. Judge Russell was a man of sim
pie and gentle manners. Courteous al
ways tc men of high or low degree
one mstinctively felt in his presence
the glow of his large and sympathetic
hear. He was a positive, aggressive
character, yet not an uncompromising
partisan He was always open to con
victicn. and ne brought to the aid of
an analytical mind of the highest
type on questions requiring discretion
and Judgment, a rare knowledge OF the
frailties and humanness of men, gain
ed during years of close contact and
observation. If the proper study OF
mankind is man, then Judge Russell
was master of his subject, for he un-
derstooa men.
Judge Russell's friendship was of
the affirmative. positive sort. He was
A fighting friend; one who would
make his friends cause his own. In
this regard he would spare neither
time Tor money. have in mind one
instance when he gave freely of his
limited means and two weeks Of his
time to make a trip half across the
continent TO urge the appointment OF

Judge Russell was a Christian man.

1t was a sad procession that wound
its way down the trail to a certain
point, where Wambo stopped in sur

bo said, looking round. dumfounded
at not seeing the body of Doctor
Wayne. II saw him lying here

the way to the fight. But now he is
gone. Amazu's warriors have taken
the body and they will"
He stopped in pity for Mrs. Wayne
He dared not impart to her his
thoughts of just how Amazu's war
riors would mutilate the body of the
white man. He knew they would tear
the body limb from limb in revenge
for their own losses in the battle.
But Mrs. Wayne understood VAN
bo's sudden silence. She broke into
pitiful tears.
"Come!" said Uncle Steve. Come
Mollie, you must be brave! Come
Edith! We will return to Wambo's
village. And soon we will start again
for our home in California"

was alive. He was at that very mo
