WILSON PLANS SHIP FIGHT
Adds Purchase Bill to Pro-
gramme for Next Session.

Washington, Dec. president Will
son added to-day the ship purchase
bill to his legislative programme, and
let it be known that he intends to
push the enactment of this legislation
when Congress meets again. 1t is not
improbable that an important part of
his message next week will be devoted
to the necessity for this legislation.
The insistence of the President on
the ship purchase bill will undoubted-
ly precipitate a warm contest in Con-
gress, as the result of which it is a
question whether the bill will pass.
Most of the antagonism to the bill, it
is understood, will arise from the sus-
picion of many Senators and Repre-
sentatives that the purpose of the
measure is to purchase a number of
German vessels now rendered useless
because of the war.
The warm support of the ship pur-
chase bill by the President was taken
to-day as hint that the proposals of
the South American diplomats for the
protection of neutral commerce would
come TO naught, so far as this country
was concerned. The lack Of ships for
South American commerce and the pos
sbility of their being captured by
the belligerent nations has caused
Latin Americans much worry. With
government owned vessels. it was de-
clared to-day, this would be obviated.

IRIS, ROLLING STONE, GETS
PRISON TERM FOR NUGENT
Founder of Mystic Society Who Won Members BY o.
Jobs of Peering Into Future and Rearrane-
ing Events, Sent to Atlanta.

The birth rate of certain genus may
be only one a minute, but Frederick
Nugent's working hours averaged two
or three hundred minutes. Also, the
next eighteen months will contain 777,-
coo minutes. The statements are not
so unconnected as they seem, because
Judge Sessions yesterday sentenced Nu-
gent to eighteen months in the Atlanta
penitentiary.
Even persons as prejudiced as United
States postal inspectors had to admit
that Nugents swindle was a good one.
1t was good enough for his purposes, at
any rate, because there were 800 "cus-
toners" scattered over the country
when the crash came. Nugent was ar
rested in March in his office, at lat East
125th st.
The "Iridescent Order Of the Iris
was Nugent's pet society, and the mem
bers of it could do anything. Concen-
tration-that was the keynote. The
first thing they did after concentrating

rRn Telesrnph to The Trlbuns ]

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 1.-More than
three hundred sanitary experts and
health workers are here from all parts
Of the United States, Canada and Cuba
for the forty-second annual convention
Of the American Public Health Associa-
tion, which began it's work here this
morning in three sections. The vital
statistics section discussed standard
methods of statistical practice, while
the public health officials discussed the
need of physical examination as a
requirement for securing medical
licenses. The laboratory section de-
voted its time TO the discussion of the
bacteriology of water and sewage.
DR.. Woods Hutchinson, of New York
City, sprang a sensation at the general
afternoon session, when he advocated
the abolition of practically all school
houses of the country. He said three
quarters of all necessary things taught
in public schools to-day coLld bet or be
taught out of doors.
DR.. Charles V. Chaplin, Superintend-
ent of Health, of Providence, in his ad-
dress, Truth on Public Health Pub
licity," severely criticised untruthful
and unscientific statement in bulletins
issued by state departments of health.
He said the old theory of exhaled
poisons had been demolished; that
germs rarely foated in the air; that the
public was still ignorant as to the re-
lation of humidity to disease, and that
most of the supposed effects of foul.
unventilated rooms have been shown to
be due to temperature odors.
Answering in the affirmative the
question, "Will vigorous protection
against the fly reduce the amount of
sickness among New York's tenement
babies?" Philip s. Pratt, of New York,
said the report of the Bureau of Public
Health and Hygiene showed that the
general cleanup of a neighborhood, ac-
companied by a reduction in the num-
Der of flies, cut down communicable dis
ease two-thirds.
At the night general session George
II. Shaw, sanitary engineer of the Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry, advocated the
establishment of an efficient state and
municipal meat inspection bureau In
all states and the development OF the
municipal abattoir system common in
Europe.
The clamor of ignorant and mis-
guided pseudo food scientists was criti-
cised by DR.. Donald b. Armstrong, of
New York City, who maintained that
clean food as a factor in the preven-
tion of disease was of immensely
greater importance than was pure food.
He urged rational educational work
and outlined a programme that had
been started by the New York Health
Department, assisted by the bureau of
food supply of the New York Associ-
alton for Improving the Condition Of
the Poor.
During the early afternoon the dele
gates were the guests Of the local en-
tertainment committee on trip up the
st. Johns River.

MRS. MARY GOODE
AT WAGES INQUIRY
Vice Graft Witness Hears
Expert Testify Girls
Are Underpaid.

At a hearing, at which the testimony
took the form of set addresses by spe-
cialists, the New York State Factory
Investigating Commission continued Its
inquiry yesterday into the question OF
wages among factory workers.
This hearing, explained Abram /.
Elkus, counsel to the commission, was
something of an innovation in that the
commission, instead of first presenting
its facts to the Legislature, was giving
them to the public to be mulled over
and, if necessary, corrected bit before
being presented at Albany for action.
The main speaker was DR. Howard b..
Woolston, director of wage investlga-
tion for the commission. A large part
of his testimony had to do with wages
paid to department store workers.
As he ran over his mass of statistics
and conclusions, DR.. Woolston was fire.
quently interrupted by questions from
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, president of the
Consumers League; Rose Schneider
man, an organizer of working girls
unions, and Z. w. Bloomingdale, coun-
sci for the New York Retail Drygoods
Association.
In the audience was Mrs. Mary Goode,
who made sensational graft exposures
during the police Investigations follow
ing the Rosenthal murder. She has be-
come an "uplift worker" and said she
was present to get information as to
underpayment of department store
girls. She did not take part in the pub
lie discussion.
In summing up his findings as to
working conditions in department
stores and candy, paper box and shirt
factories, DR.. Woolston. said that of
105, 900 people inquired about more than
$4,000 were getting less than enough to
live on decently.
"We found people in the stores get
ting less than 50 week." he said, "but
this was not typical. People able to
judge say that it takes So to SO week
for young woman to live decently in
New York; some put it at SO. Three
fifths of the women in the stores and
industries in New York City get less
than SO. II takes s15 20 500, probably

TO ATTEND DINNER
Travis Formally Announces APP
pointment of Gleason as Coun-
sci and LaudS Him.

Notices went out last night for a
meeting OF the Republican State Com
mittee and the executive committee,
consisting of the county chairmen
throughout the state. The meeting
will be held in this city at noon or De-
cember IT, and will be followed in the
evening with big dinner at the Wal
dorf to celebrate the victory at the
polls in November.
The meeting Of the Republican lead
ers will bring them together for the
first time since election. There are
many matters Of policy that State
Chairman Tanner wishes to discuss.
Among other things he wishes to learn
the sentiment Of Republicans in va
rious parts of the state in regard to
certain legislation that is being
mapped out.
he conference Of the reelected Re-
publican Senator's at the home Of SEN
ator Elon r. Brown, In Watertown,
Thursday, will, IL is understood, be
followed by a conference of the re-
elected Republican Assemblymen. After
that Governor-elect Whitman will meet
the leaders of both branches of the
Legislature to shape up final legisla-
tive programme.
The dinner at the Waldorf is intend
ed as a compliment to the officers of
the State Committee for their work in
the campaign - Chairman Tanner;
Lafayette b. Gleason, secretary; Alex
ander NJ. White, treasurer. and Merton
f. Lewis, chairman of the executive
committee.
A committee Of prominent Repub-
licans, of which Senator Elihu Root is
the chairman. is getting up the dinner.
Among others on the committee are
James r. Sheffield, president. and Otto
r. Barnard and j. Van Vechten Olcott,
former presidents of the Republican
Club; George r. Sheldon and Luther b.
Little.
A strong effort is TO be made to get
Governor-eleet Whitman to break the
resolve he made after election to at
tend no dinners of whatever nature be-
fore January /. 1t is probable that he
will attend.
Samuel II. Ordway, chairman Of the
