LIVE STOCK SHOW MAY
 BE STAGED IN SELMA
Plans Being Considered to Hold Exhi- l.. bitiOn Sometime This Fall

Selma, June 13-(special)-A fat live stock show will very probably be staged in Selma during the fall months, although the proposition has not taken any defi- nite formation yet. This, combined with a farmers institute, will draw to Selma large crowd from the surrounding ter ritory and would be made attractive with amusement features.
 The holding of a stock show here dur ing the coming fall months is meeting with the approval of the business men of the city as well as yhe citizens living in the large section of territory around Selma. A stock show would be the means of encouraging the rural residents of this section of the state to branch out in greater proportion in the animal indus try, as there Is no douot but within the next year or so this section of Alabama will become a great stock raising section.
 It is proposed to make the stock show, if held here an interstate affair, and by which entries will be admitted from every section of the south. An attractive pre- mium list will be made up. which will encourage the exhibition of stock by farmers

City health bulletin No. s, issued by City Health Officer R. M. Cunningham yesterday treats of "predisposing and contributing causes of tuberculosis" It follows:
 In the last bulletin the specific and essential causes of tuberculosis were considered. In this one the predispos . ing and contributing causes are dis cussed. While nobody can have tuber- culosis without the specific tubercle bacillus, it is true that a predispos- Ing cause or condition is necessary in the vast majority of cases. The fact is very few escape tubercular infec- { ftion. Post mortem records in a large number of hospitals show that from sions-eured, quiescent or active. The interesting question Is, why do some get entirely cured, in some the progress of the disease arrested and others go on and die? The answer to this is found in the different power of resist ence of the body cells, or in their spe- cial tendency to tubercular activity, called a favorable soil

.CRUX OF MEXICAN
 PROBLEM REACHED
Task of Finding Provisional President for Mexico
 Faces MediatOrs

Niagara Falls. Ont. June 13.-The crux of the Mexican problem-the selection of man for provisional President accept able to all factions in Mexico and foreign governments generaly-was reached to- day in a conference between the media tors and the American and Mexican dele gates Various names were discussed, but there was no agreement Details of the peace plan are virtually set aside now for the greater task of finding a man who can maintain peace m Mexico while constitutional election IS held and normal order resumed
 General Carranza's s note advising the mediators that constitutionalist delegates were on their way to the mediation con ferences with full instructions arrived to- day
 It contains no reference to an armfstice and there was nothing to show that the mediators had altered their determination not to admit officially Carranza's repre- sentatiyes, unless an armistice was de- clared. Some other way of dealing with them perhaps through the American dele gates may be found. The composition of the new provisional government, it's form and personnel, was discussed by Ameri-
 
 talk with the mediators. No agreement Was reached, but it is believed this plank in the peace plan will set forth that the new government shall consist of a pro- visional President and four cabinet min isters. comprising the portfolios of for eign affairs. finance, war and interior administration.
 Today's discussion showed the Ameri- cans that Mexicans of prominence who have been active in the constitutionalist party will meet with serious opposition from the Huerta delegates as presidential possibilities.
 Various plans for the form of the new government are before the mediators A commission of five with one executive, a junta de gobierno. or council of three and a provisional President are being con silared. The last will be insisted on by the Mexicans. The American delegates probably will offer no objection to that kind of an admission.

Will Address Geographical Society on Recent
 Explorations
DECLARES VISIT IS
 PURELY SCIENTIFIC
Colonel Met by Ambassador Page and Daughter and SOn-Is Questioned on Many
 Subjects

London June 13.-Col Theodore Roose- welt arrived in London today from the continent, accompanied by Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and Phillip J. Roosevelt. his cousin.
 Walter Hines Page. American ambas- sador, was waiting at the station to meet the former President With him were the members of the embassy staff and a number of additional Americans.
 One of the first to welcome Colonel Roosevelt was the archbishop of Canter- bury, who had travelled in the .;ame train, and who greeted him on the platform.
 My visit to England is purely so- cial and scientific one." MT. Roosevelt de- clared. eI am here to lecture before the Royal Geographical society on the subject of my discoveries and experience will not discuss politics. either, French, English or American"
 This was the reply of Colonel Roose- welt to a bombardment of questions from score of newspaper men for whom he held an informal reception at Lieuten- ant Colonel Lees London home.
 The colonel was questioned on every possible subject, from the controversy aroused in connection with his discovery oe river in Brazil to the passage by the American Senate of the Panama tolls exemption repeal bill and the prospects of his candidacy for the governorship of New York state.
 His reply in each instance was, "1 have nothing to say" or, No. you may not expect q statement from me," which was his answer as to whether he was going to issue a statement on the sub ject of the governorship.
 One of the colonels first visitors was Dr. John Scott Keltie. secretary of the Royal Geographical society, who brought with him number of maps for the use of the colonel in his lecture.
 The lecture is to be delivered in a small hall and the audience will be composed entirely of those fellows of the society who made early applica- tion.
 There is to be no discussion and, while it has not been disclosed whether Colonel Roosevelt will make any reply to A. Henry Savage Landor, the British explorer, and others who have ques- toned his discovery, it is understood that this Is not considered necessary be- cause there has been no tendency to dis credit the sincerity and the usefulness of the coloneps exploratory work
 When he had been the guest of honor at a luncheon of the American ambas- sador the colonel proceeded to Cheq- uer's Court, the country residence in Buckinghamshire of Lieutenant Colonel Lee, where he will spend a quiet week end.
 The guests of Ambassador Page at the luncheon included the Spanish ambas- sador, Alfredo Merry del Val: Earl Grey, former governor general of Canada; Earl Curzon of Kedleston, former vice roy of India: Sir Horace Plunkett, the agricultural expert; Col Edward NJ. House of Texas, and members of the embassy staff.
 It is possible that Colonel Roosevelt may see King George before his de- parture His majesty is spending week at Windsor castle.
