situation will be taken up Saturday in
New York, where the next meeting OF
the pan-American conference on Mexico
will be held. 1t had been planned to
hold the conference today, but illness
of one of the conferees prevented. At
the time of the meeting it is expected
the replies of the Villa leaders and the
note from Gen. Caryanza will be dis
cussed. 1t is possible that announce
ment of a definite policy will be made.
Americans have again been warned to
leave the danger zones in Mexico, the
standing instructions to American con-
sular agents having been repeated.
This, it is explained at the State De-
partment, is made necessary because of
the lawIessness in northern Mexico
Many cases of outrages have been re-
ported recently and the onward march
of the Carranza army is likely to make
northern Mexico much more of a bat
tleground than it has been.
No New Policy Foreshadowed.

warning to get out of danger fore
shadowed "A new and more aggressive

No Authority for Removal.

If Emil r. Cradle, former leper ward
of the District, who escaped to Pitts
bursh several weeks ago, is on his
way back to Washington. it is without
the knowledge or consent of the public
health service, and the men who may
be aiding his return here will, If
caught, face the prospect of federal
prosecution under federal public heath
laws.
This statement was made this after
noon by officials of the service who
| expressed surprise over the report that
Cradle was coming to Washington in
an automobile and that the machine
would be burned following his arrival
in the capital.
They stated that no authority for
CRADLES deportation from Pittsburgh
! to another jurisdiction had been grant
| ed by the public health service and that
| II such deportation should be attempt
| ed it would be in violation of law.
DR.. John L; Norris. acting health Off
| Ger of the District, was as much sur
| prised as the federal officials by the re-
| port and said he could not believe that
any of the authorities of Pittsburgh
could be aiding in the reported depor-
| tation as such an act clearly would be
| in violation of federal law.
Quarsntined With Early.
Cradle came to Washington from St
Louis and gave himself up to a police
! man December 10, 1914. He was imme-
! diately taken in charge by the local
health official and quarantined with
John Early, the Districts only other
leper ward, in the leper hospital on the
Eastern branch. There he remained un-
til August 13, when he succeeded in
making his escape. He went to Pitts
burgh on a freight train and volun-
tarily surrendered to the authorities
there.
Pittsburgh health officials immediate
ly communicated with the District
health office in an effort to have Ora BILE
returned to this city, but were advised
! that the deportation of a leper could
be made only under directions of the
public health service and that this
recently found it impracticable to
transfer leper patients to any of the
government quarantine stations
Whether or not Cradle returns to
Washington, John Early. the only oc-
cupant of the leper hospital here, is apt
to be the guest of the city for some
time. The hospital is being surround
ed with a double stockade, which is ex-
pected to prove effective against any
attempt at escape. The inner stockade
consists of wire fence about six feet
high This is the boundary beyond
which he has been cautioned not to go.
The outer stockade is eight feet high
and is constructed of barbed wire
strung along posts set at distances of
six feet apart.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, September 10
Emil R. Cradle, former United States
soldier, who contracted leprosy while serv-
ing in the Philippines, and who has been
under strict guard in a tent at the
Municipal Hospital since his appearance
here several months ago, will be returned
to Washington, D. c., in an automobile.
and after he has been turned over to the
army authorities the machine will be
burned.
This plan was announced today by DIR.
James F. Edwards, director Of health. who
has been seeking to solve the problem of
CRADLES future. Common carriers would
not transport Cradle. and Dr. Edwards
finally decided it would be cheaper for
the city to sacrifice the cost of an auto
mobile than to keep Grabie here. Hav-
ing been honorably discharged from the
army, Cradle is a ward of the govern
ment, the authorities hold.

Urge Inebriate Hospital.

There has been considerable agita-
tion for an inebriate hospital and the
prospect of the Commissioners asking
Congress for an initial appropriation
for the construction of such an insti-
tuition is considered good. The Sons of
Jonadab today forwarded to the Com
missioners a petition urging that this
project be started without further
delay.
Particular interest in the need of an
institution for the care of feeble
minded has been manifested by the
Monday Evening Club. which gave con-
siderable study to this subject last year.
A census of the capitals feeble-minded
population has been taken and the Dis
trict heads will have considerable data
upon which to base an estimate, should
they decide to ask for an institution of
this character.
Social workers are planning to lay no
little emphasis on the need of a new
municipal lodging house, to replace
the present inadequate structure on
18th street opposite the Post Office De-
partment, and there is a strong proba-
bility that this improvement will be
provided for in the budget. 1t has
been estimated that an up-to-date 1odg-
ing house would cost about $4,000.

In connection with the proposal for
an institution for the care of feeble
minded, DIR. Percy D. Hickling, District
alienist and former visiting physician

connection with the alleged manipula-
ton of stocks and bonds belonging to
customers of the firm.
Through Attorneys Daniel Thew
Wright, Wade w. Ellis and r. Golden
Donaldson. the validity Of the indict-
ments is attacked. One of the rea-
sons why it is claimed the charges
should be quashed is that the indfct-
ments fail to show that the grand

aualified. Different and Independent
offenses are joined in the same indict-
ment, it is alleged: Some counts are
declared to be bad for duplicity and
others are said to be insufficient and
