Public Sunday After PreSi-

tents is Known.

WASHINGTON Jan. 9.-The pre-
liminary reply Of Sir Edward Grey.
British minister for foreign affairs to
the United States note, which init
mated unjustihable detention by Brit
ish cruisers of American vessels, OBJ
lection to England's practice Of stop
ping vessels merely 70 look for evil
dence, and the British denial Of the
right of American merchants to ship
Ito order was received late Friday
afternoon by Sec'y of State Bryan
The British paper will be given out,
Mr. Bryan says, probably on Sunday
by which time the president who will
return Saturday will have an oppor-
tunity Of considering it although the
tone and substance OF it was tele-
graphed 10 him Friday night. Owing
TO the fact that the document arrived
late and had TO be un-coded, very few
OF the higher officials knew anything
about the communication.
This much is said, however, that it
is very courteous. While not precise
" responsive 10 the large questions
without Specifications which were
raised by Mr.. Bryan, Great Britain is
said 10 have maintained In the note
these conditions. That she could not
abandon the general right to search
ships on the high seas, which was ad-
mitted by all nations.
That she must also maintain the
continuance OF the right Ito vista
ton" OF commercial ships.
That the practice of OBTAINING yes
sells whose cargo or parts of cargoes
are consigned Ito order may be mod
flied, but not abandoned on account
of peculiar conditions Of the existing
war.
That acute cases Of disagreement
may be disposed of by reference TO
commissions OF inquiry composed of
representatives of both nations
Officials say that England will be
able 20 fOrtify her friendly spirit by
reference to the foreshadowing of a
defense which was given out Thurs
day night by Sir Cecil-Spring Rice,
the British ambassador at Washing
ton.
1t IS learned that England called
attention to the fact which was veri-
fed at the state department that al |
though there have been only eight |
cases Of vessels taken into a port, |
yet about rs have been subjected to |
the process of visitation.
The first results OF the points made !
now by Sir Edward Grey is that the |
United States will be called upon to /
present to the British foreign office |
cases out OF the IS which come under /
Mr.. Bryan's italiacized declaration /
that United States vessels should not !
have been searched merely TO look
for evidence.

for the hearing.
Basket Bill appeared in his ia
miliar garb Of an old fashioned faded
cutaway coat sporting perhaps his
first hair cut and shave secured IN an
up-to-date barber shop, his evidence
while crude seems positive as to the
identity of Lloyd Wilson, while his
description of Flash light carried
bv the robbers as a sort of a light
on the end of stick excited the hui
NOR of the court room. His stead
fast and immovable determination not
to disclose facts relative to his hoard
ed gold held the interest of the audi
ence spell bound.
DR.. C. l.. Rohrbough, John Gibson,
Elinor Thorn, Marge Werner and SAINT
Wilmoth were among the witnesses ex-
amined
During the trial it developed that
the HACKS had in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 scattered in various parts OF the
old cabin, the boarded savings OF
misery and suspicious family OF
ignorant settlers gold, silver and
greenbacks hidden away in various
places. Basket Bill" as he is com

the words in English language hamp-
cred the court in getting Intelligent
replies to question while the awful
fear of people watching to get the re-
mainder Of his wealth was plainly vlsl-
BILE at all times.
At the conclusion Of the prelimlna-
~ hearing Justice Means held both
Wilson and Lyle without bail to
answer to an indictment for robbery
and murder. Both men were remand
ed to the Elkins jail for safe keeping.

FACTS DO NOT JUSTIFY
HORROR OVER LEPROSY.
Less Dangerous Than Many Other Di-
seases Says DIR. Montgomery.

SAN FRANCISCO, June "a
Horror Of leprosy is an Inheritance
from the middle ages and is not JUS
titled by the facts, said Dir. Douglas
VI. Montgomery, Of San Francisco,
in a paper presented this morning
before their sixty-sirth annual ses-
sion of the American Medical Assoc
citation. The repulsive appearance
of leprosy and the fear of it's ex-
IRENE contagion due to misunder-
standing Of the nature Of leprosy as
mentioned in the table have created
belief in the public mind that
leprosy is extremely contagious. This
belief, says DR.. Montgomery, is not
founded on facts. Leprosy is very
slightly contagious and is slowly
progressive disease, much less dam
gerous to the community or to the
individual than smallpox, tuberculo-
sis and many other diseases.

NOTES ON WEST VIRGINIA
EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION


One of the most interesting and pos
sibly the largest session of the West
Virginia Educational Association
closed at Charleston, Friday, June Is.
The total enrolment reached almost
thousand and the entire program
Of three days duration was alive with
interest.
The general theme for the program
was "The School and The Community
Cooperating Among the many in
teresting addresses on different phases
Of this subject given during the Assoc
citation were those of Governor Wood
bridge, N. Ferris, of Michigan and
Superintendent Stearnes, Of Virginia
and superintendent Joyner, Of North
Carlonia. Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart,
famous as the leader Of state wide
campaign against adult illiteracy in
Kentucky through the Moonlight
Schools" gave an exceedingly inter-
esting report of the wonderful work
which she has been doing in teaching
the grown ups" how to read and write
Doctor ] L. McBrien and Doctor w.
S. Deffenbaugh, both Of the Bureau of
Education, Washington, and Professor
Rounds, of the Wisconsin State Nor
NAL School also had important places
on the program.
The social event of the week was the
reception at the Mansion rendered the
visiting teachers by Governor and
Mrs. Hatfield, but many smaller af-
fairs at the hotels and on the river
gave old students of the normals, the
university and other schools a chance
to get together for a pleasant hour
or two that old friendships might be
refreshed and new ones made.
The officers elected for the coming
year are:
President,J. N. Deahl, Morgantown.

EXPERTS ARE HARD AT WORK.
High Influence Being Exerted Toward
a Peaceful Settlement.

BERLIN June 81, (via London
June 22.)-The foreign office experts
have commenced the consideration of
the German answer to the American
governments's note concerning Ger
many's submarine warfare and the
first draft Of the document presuma-
bly, viii be finished the end Of this
week. AS the reply this time win be
submitted to Emperor William at his
headquarters after it is threshed out
between the departments concerned, it
probably will not be ready for trans
mission before the middle or the end
of next week.
There is no clear indication Of the
nature Of the note vet obtainable.
From the emphasis which naval writ
ers continue to lay on the alleged
British practice Of flying neutral flags
and the impossibility for submarines
to observe regulations concerning visi-
tation and search it might be antici-
pated that this argument will be the
kernal Of the reply. At the foreign
office there seems to be an impression
that this point will appear only as a
subordinate part Of the reply # at al
and that an attempt wall be made to
give a definite answer to President
Wilson'S request one way or another.
The alleged armament Of the Lusl-
taina probably will not figure prom1-
nently in the next note. Various tes-
tirnony has been assembled regarding
the presence of guns aboard the Lusl-
tania but it all refers to voyages prior
to the one on which the Lusitania was
sunk.
Higher influences continue to be ex-
erted in favor of peaceful settlement
with the United States. A number OF
industrial and commercial leaders II
Germany have appeared III Berlin dur
ing the last few days to use their in
fuence personally to this end.

U. S. TROOPS MAY EN-
TER OLD MEXICO.
The Situation Continues to Grow
Worse is the Report.
Admiral Howard is Expected to Send
the Marines Against the
Yaqui Indians If Any More Foreigners
Are Put TO Death.


WASHINGTON, June 22.-As a re-
suit Of the crushing defeat which the
Yaqu Indians, near Guayamas, Mex
leo, are reported to have inflicted on
the Villaista troops sent to check
them officials here were anxiously
awaiting word today from Admiral
Howard.
The latest word from the admiral
was that the Raleigh, one of his ships,
had sent an officer up the valley to the
American colony with Photograph APP
paratus to be used in signaling the
ships the minute aid is needed.
It was considered certain that How
ard will land his troops and send them
overland against the Indians if more
foreigners are killed. Whether he will
be opposed in such action, if action, by
the Villaistas, making common cause
with the Yauquis, is the question that
is causing grave anxiety here.
The general situation throughout
Mexico continues to get worse: The
Carranzaistas under Gen. Gonzales
were reported today to be fighting
with Zappatists in the suburbs Of the
City Of Mexico. The Zappatists are
reported to have been in readiness to
quit the city for several days. 1t is
feared that before going away they
may attempt to loot the foreign sec
ton. Bread riots are also continuing.
Efforts to Force Conference
Efforts to force conference of all
military chiefs and the folder states
men" remaining in Mexico have been
redoubled This movement is being
assisted in Washington.
Conditions in the Yaqui valley
where the United States is faced with
the possibility Of landing forces to
protect the settlers against raiding
Indians are described as desperte in
today's state department advices.
One settler who left the valley on
the last train and arrived at Nogales
yesterday, said half the valley had
been devastated without protest from
the 40 Villa troops who were the only
soldiers in the region.
No Attack Reported.
officials here believe, however, that
the settlers left the valley before any
Of the additional troops ordered to the
Yaqui region by Gov. Maytorena had
been dispatched. More recent advices
from American officials and others
near tn. valley, it was said, had not
reported any new attacks on foreign
ers.
Officials believe Maytorena will en-
ploy all forces at his command to curb
the Indians.

Of Secretary Of State to Robert Lans-
