M'ADOO RECOMMENDS
PELLAGRA HOSPITAL
Asks Congress to Appropriate $S7,-
900 For Establishment of
Such Institution.

Washington, Jan. Secretary
McAdoo today asked Congress to ap-
propriate $4,000 for a pellagra hos
pital in some Southern city.
In letter to Speaker Clark Secre-
tary McAdoo pointed out that pellagra
has imposed great financial burdens
on communities in which it prevails
and that while Investigations of the
disease have been Systematically car
cied on at the Marine Hospital at
Savannah for several years no facili-
ties exist for the conduct of metabolic
and physico-chemical studies, con-
sidered necessary by the public health
service.
"A number of food products are
under suspicious" Secretary McAdoo
wrote, thus duplicating several i'm
portant industries and it becomes
important from both sanitary and
economic standpoints to determine
once and for all what bearing II any
foods have OH the continuance of the
disease. These studies necessarily will
be of highly technical nature, re-
quiring special facilities to guard
against the possibility of errors"
To carry out this plan Secretary
MCAdOo proposed to embrace in the
recommended $4,000 these items:
Equipment of hospital with 25
beds $4,000; equipment of chemical
laboratory $4,000; pay of personal
exclusive Of pharmacist and com
missiOned officer $4,000; main
tenance of hospital $12, 900 and main
teance of laboratory $4,000"

Reduced Fortune by ten Millions.

New York, Jan. 8.-Andrew Carne-
gle recently reduced his fortune by
$10,000,000, 1t became known today
in making a gift of that amount to
the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust
in Dumfermline Scotland.
At a recent meeting of the trus-
tees OF this trust the fact was dis
closed that Mr.. Carnegie's gift of $40,
100000 in bonds OF the United States
Steel corporation designed for the
fund had been registered in the name
OF the Carnegie Dumfermline Trust,
which is distributing Mr. Carnegie's s
generous benefactions in his old home
town. Steps were taken TO have the
bonds transferred to the United King
dom Trust.
This means that Mr.. Carnegie fur
ther curtailed his personal fortune to
the extent of $10,00O,OO0 instead of
calling upon the Carnegie corporation
in New York, in WHICH he has set
apart millions to supply benevolent
funds.
Mr.. Carnegie said last night that he
felt the gift would be appreciated
more If i8came from his own pocket
than from the New York corporation.

CHAs. II. MOVER DISAPPEARS.
Thought to Have Secretly Gone to
Hancock, Mich,

Chicago, Jan. 8.-Charles II. Meyer
president Of the Western Federation
of Miners, is believed to be due today
at Hancock, Mich, the scene of his
deportation two weeks ago.
Inquiry at his hotel early today met
with evasions and denials from clerks
and labor men lodging there. Some of
them went so far as to pledge their
words to reporters that Meyer was
still in the hotel, but it was ascer-
tanned that his bed, while it had been
disturbed, was empty.
The clerks admitted that they were
under orders" with reference to Moy
er. The carefully arranged system
arranged to cover Meyers tracks was
regarded as the most convincing evil
.dence OF, the truth of the statement
that he left secretly last night One
paper here prints the unqualified
statement that he left on the 1890
train last night. He was spirited from
the hotel to taxicab and driven to
the Western Avenue yards of the
roads, 1t says. A chauffeur was found
who admitted taking a man of Moy-
er's description to the yards.

PRESIDENT BEGINS
WORK ON MESSAGE
Will Deal With Antitrust Leg
islation to be Considered.
WAS A DAY OF WORK
But There Were Incidents of Divert
ing Interest-Old Servant of
Jefferson Davis.

Pass Christian, Miss, January T.
President Wilson began work today
on the message dealing with anti
trust legislation, which he will read
to Congress shortly after his return
to Washington.
Like his inaugural address and pre-
vious message to Congress, the docu-
ment first was sketched in short
hand by the President and then given
to stenographer to transcribe. While
the President cosiders what he is
working on now as only a rough draft
II previous experience Is repeated the
message that he finally delivers will
not be materially changed from the
first composition
Just what this new message con-
tains is known only to the President.
and no linking of it's nature will be
divulged until 1t is submitted to the
Cabtent members and Democratic
leaders in Congress.
While today was day OF work for
the President there were likewise in
cfdents of diverting interest in it..
When the Chief Executive finished his
gof game an old negro approached
the Presidential group. He hfiad diff
hculty In determining which OF the
men who stood before him was the
President, so feeble had his eyesight
become.
JEFF .DAVIS'S BODY SERVANT
I'm Ben williams, JEFF Davis's old
body servant" he said, land wanted
to meet Mr.. Wslion."
rhn ,kN
shook his hand. He asked the negro's
II 'spect I'm 75, ANYWAY" was the
reply.
The old residence OF jefferson Da-
Wis, which Is now used as a Confed-
crate Soldiers Home is only a few
miles from the links, and the negro
has lived In this vicinity continuously
since the days OF the Confederacy.
AS the President motored back to
his cottage after golf he distributed
candy to the children who greeted
him along the way. The little ones
fiocked around his automible when 1t
stopped and piled him with scores OF
children's questions.
Where did you get that automo-
bile?" asked one, and the President
laughed heartily.
Tomorrow the Presidential automo-
bile will carry more candy as there
was not enough to go around today
Even since the holiday session began
the Presidents family has been re-
ceiving boxes OF candy from friends
far more than could possibly be eaten
by them. So the President thought 1t
a good idea to give some OF the sweets
to the children who wave their little
American flags each day when he
passes and always seem so glad to
see him.

YEGGMAN SENT UP
FROM SPARTANBURG
Mckinley, Paroled by Governor
BleaSe, Convicted of Robbery
To Serve Year and Month.

Spartanburg, January S.--SpeciaI
William Mckinley, the safe.robber
paroled by Governor Blease Thanks
giving Day, after he had served six
years OF ten-year term i'm the state
prison, was convicted in circuit court
here today of robbing the store of
Renard Frey, at Fair Forest on Dec
cember 10, about two weeks after his
release Judge Shipp sentenced him TO
serve one year and one month.
The evidence against MsKinley was
circumstantial but there was not a
weak link in the chain which Solicitor
A. r.. Hill wound around him. One
OF the bits Of evidence on which the
solicitor laid emphasis was a button
with tuft OF cloth attached found
near the scene OF the robbery. The
button was of identically the same
kind as the buttons of McKinley's
suit and the cloth also corresponded
One OF his buttons was missing.
A bottle half-filled with what
the officers alleged to be nitro-glv-
cerine was also introduced in evidence
1t was found in the camp in the wood
where Mckinley was arrested. Nitro
glycerine was used il was claimed in
the attempt to rob the safe in Frey's
store. Testimony chat Mckinley
traded shirt stolen from Frey's
store to Elmore Wright a fellow
prisoner in the county Jail also in
fiuenced the jury. Wright a paroled
murderer will be tried tomorrow for
shooting Ernest Mcabee his wifes
cousin some time after Wright left
the prison.
Mckinley acted as his own counsel.
He strongly denied his guilt He
made frequent objections to the tes-
timony offered by the State. In ad-
dressing the jury Mckinley told of
the hardships he endured in the
brief period between his release from
the prison and his arrest here. He
said he had only $1S5 when he left
prison had no friends to whom he
could appeal and was forced to live
the life OF a var2gant. He told of his
wanderings in South Carolina and
Georgia prior to his arrival at Spar
tanburg. He said that when at Spar
arrested he was on his way to Vir-
ginia. The man made a pitiful plea
for mercy asking the jury to dismiss
from their minds his past record and
not convict him on circumstantiGl cvi-
dence.

workable shape. Again, it is astonish-
ing to find the President speaking of
this mesure as one (which furnishes
"the machinery for free and elastic,
uncontrolled credits put at the dispo-
"sal of the merchants and manufac-
"turers of this country for the first
time in fifty years." Could the mer-
chants and manufacturers of this
country have brought it's trade and it's
industries to their present stage of
development if credits had been rigid
and controlled" against them. We
have complained that our currency is
inelastic because it has the artificial
basis of bonds, the outstanding volume
of which has no relation to business
conditions. 1t has been quite other
wise with credit. If the President was
brief address some allusion to the
''money trust, that would explain,
but hardly excuse, his singular obser
walton about credit.
The President is right in his as
sumption that the bill has been ac-
cepted as workable There is hardly
any doubt that the national banks will
become member banks in the new sys-
tenn. If there be any reservation in
the minds of bankers it will relate
chiefly, we suppose, to the makeup of
the Federal Reserve Board. The pow
ers of the board will be very great, its
control over the business of reserve
and member banks will under many
provisions of the bill be very direct.
The naming of the appoiptees, there
fore, will be awaited with deep inter-
