get Ciiy's Glorious Past.

The trouble with YOU young men,"
said Carlton Mccarthy. shaking an
admonitory finger at the silvered head
Of Chairman Barton H. Grundy. of tho
Council Finance Committee last night.
is that YOU do not realize that it
is the fact that Richmond was the
! capital of the Confederacy that has
spread her fame from one end of tho
country to the other"
captain Mccarthy was speaking to
bill of s64 for $500 miniature mu-
:nicipal flags. printed on celiuloid, which
has successfully been repudiated by
the city Auditor. the Advertising and
Enterprises Committee and the City
Council. The little Tags were ordered
10y the Administrative Board and tho
blll was ordered charged to the boards
expense account; Auditor Crcnshaw
! however, neld up it's payment on the
ground That the boards expense ac-
coun: could by no stretch OF patriotic
imagination be made TO extend to cellu-
. loid flags.
Mr.. Mccarthy was frankly piqued
He was mortified, he told the com
| mi'tee. that little bill Of tins char
acter should be thumpcd about from
pillar TO post. when bills of sioej to
pay a Metropolitan Opera House song
BIRD and her husband to MARBLE before
crowd OF bankers are paid without
the batting of the municipal eye-lash.
lie would have paid the bill himself,
ne said, out Of his own pocket ii it
were not that he did not wish TO in
suit the city.
Auditor Crenshaw agreed that the
bill should he paid. but stoutly defend
cd his judgment as to it's inadmissi-
billy under the boards expense ac-
count. The committee exonerated Mr.
Crenshaw of any lack of patriotism
ana even upheld his judgment. Never
theless, Chairman Grundy gave Captain
Mccarthy his personal assurance that
the committee will recommend n
special appropriation TO retire the in
debtedness and close the incident
The chairman OF the Finance Com
mittec confessed frankly that he was
not an admtrer of the city ilag-con-
ceived BY Mr.. Mccarthy and adopted BY
the Council through his advocacy 1t
seemed to be rather Confederate rag
than municipal flag ne said, and to
that extent failed To perform it's true
function.

19,425 TREATED FOR
HOOKWORM DISEASE
Commission Of the Rockefeller
Foundation Reports on
Years Work.
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION

The work of the International Health
Commission of the Rockefeller Founda-
ton in lighting the hookworn. both in
the southern part of the United states
and In other countries, Is made public
In the first annual report OF the foun-
dalton. part of which was issued yester-
day in accordance with the decision of
the trustees to issue such a statement
after the close of each calendar year.
Up to December 81. 1914, the lnterna-
tional Health Commission had treated
1895 hookworm sufferers throughout
the world. In addition 1t had In
stituted an educational system 10y which
many thousands we're Instructed IN
the dangers and means OF fighting
the disease. The work has not been
planned to be self-suilicient, but il in
tended merely to educate and cooperate
with the people and their Governments
until the latter can carry the cam
paign on alone, leaving the commission
free to take VI new fields.
At the meeting of the foundation on
June 81. 1913. it was decided to estab-
lish the commission as the best plan for
advancing public health. Wickliffe Rose.
administrative secretary of the kockefel-
Ter Sanitary Commission for the eradica-
tion Of hookworm disease, was appointed
director-general and DR.. John A. Fer
rell his assistant.
The relief and control OF the desease
was known to be a tremendous undertake
Ing. The infection belts the globe IN a
sone about Sc degrees wide, centrlng
At the equator. Practically all countries
In this belt are infected.
The methods OF relief included sur
veys to determine the area and method
Of distribution OF the disease and stop
ping soil pollution. besides treating suf-
ferers. The commission obtained the CO.
operation Of eleven foreign Governments
and is prepared to extend this coopera-
tion to other countries as conditions
invite.
Nr. Rose spent most OF the year trav-
cling through British dependecies and
Latin American countries for prelini-
nary investigation and conferences. VS.
fling England, the . West Indies and
Egypt. DR.. White went TO Central Amer
1ca. Work was begun In British Guiana.
Antigua, Trinidad, ST. Lucia, Grenada
and Egypt. In Ceylon the Government
and the Planters Association started
work on a small scale, meeting the cost
locally. TIT campaign also took in
Panama Nicaragua, Costa Rca n
Guatemala.
In spite Of the loss OF time necessary
because Of preliminary Investigations.
the commission examined 1892 persons
and treated 10, 1925 up 10 the end OF 1914.
More significant is the establishment OF
Government aid and the cooperation Of
local physicians. which have inculcated
the spirit of self-help in the sufferers
themselves. Besides its work in foreign
countries, the commission has under
taken to complete the work Of the Rookie
Teller Sanitary Commission in fighting
the disease IN the Southern States of this
country.

"Not My Business to Track
Yellow Dog Fund RumOrs,"
He Tells Investigators.

George NcAneny assured the Thorp-
son committee yesterday that Il was not
his business to question marlborough
officials as TO whether or not a yellow
log" fund was concealed In contracts
which the company made for third track
ing its elevate roads.
II had neither evidence nor power TO
investigate such a matter he said. Il
never discussed the rumors that l had
heard with n one, except Public Ser
vice Commissioners Maltbie. There was
nothing but rumors, so far as I knew"
The committee was unable to find
George w. Young. who as a director
OF the marlborough in 1913. talked
stevens contract for third tracking and
extending the elevated lines, which was
replaced by a contract which allowed
the T. A. Gillespie company 10 per cent
Of the costs as profits. Mr.. Young has
been quoted as having said that the
profit was excessive.
Senator Thompson asked Mr.. McAneny
II he would help the committee to find
Mr.. Young. Mr.. McAneny replied that
although he was not a process server
he would help If the committee thought
the request a proper one Mr.. Thomp-
son then dropped the subject. Counsel
Merton T.. Lewis asked Mr.. McAneny ;
WAS there no a OF protesting

"A contract involving SOS. 600. 900 or $780,
100000? Couldn't the Public Service
Commission rave been forced by public
sentiment to act?"
mo- said Mr.. McAneny.
Wasn't II because IL was felt to be
futile to oppose the marlborough? ?" pur-
sued Mr.. Lewis,
Il should not put II that way was
the reply. Il do not believe II would
have done any good"
