REVIEW TO CAMINETTI.
Supreme Court Will Reconsider its
Decision in the White
Slave Case.

Washington, June 22.-Reversing
its own action Of a week ago, the
Supreme Court yesterday decided to
! review the conviction of F. Drew
Caminetti, of San Francisco, facing
prison sentence for violation OF the
white slave law. At the same time
it agreed to review the conviction of
Maury I. Diggs, found guilty with
Caminetti in the sensational cases
which attracted countrywide atten-
tion two years ago.
The cases will be the first in
which the Supreme Court has re-
viewed a white slave law prosecution
where it was contended that the law
did not apply to prosecutions which
failed to show evidence of the ailment
of commercialized vice.
Caminetti, son of the commits
sioner general of immigration, faces
a fine of $1,000 and eighteen months
Imprisonment in San Quetin. Diggs,
formerly architect for the State of
California, was fined $4,000, and SEN
fenced to two years in prison.
Attention was focused on these
cases when John L. McNab, United
States attorney at San Francisco, re-
signed and in an open letter to Presi-
dent Wilson, charged that political
influence was being brought to bear

HORRORS OF SANITORIUMS
Suicide and Madness Common Among
Kaiser's Troops

Paris, June PA neutral writer
who travelled lately in Germany des-
cribes a visit to one of the numerous
sanitoriums for nervous cases. He
points out that nervous troubles,
suicide and madness are much more
frequent among the Kaiser's troops
than any other army. The correspon-
dent was shown over the sanitorium
at Eberswalde. He says:
'It was terrible; vision from
Dante's Inferno. Here are patients
who suffer from occipital cramp. It
they do not die in twenty four hours
they recover, but recovery is slow.
Seventy-five per cent of those affected
are nonsmokers.
"Many patients sit silent and de-
pressed, with fixed, unseeing stare,
suffering from temporary paralysis
of the optic nerve; others foam at
the mouth. curse God, the Emperor
and the Fatherland, gesticulate as ia:

them; others with CHASTITY grins imi,

OPINION DOES NOT
AFFECT VIRGINIA
Attorney General Pollard
Discusses Constitution Of
The State.
ONLY LITERACY TEST.
Action of Court Might Tend to Re-
store Negro domination in Some
of the Southern States.

Richmond, June 22.-Attorney Cen
eral John Garland Pollard says that
the probability of Virginia being at
fected by the decision of the Supreme
Court adverse to the grandfather
clause" is remote. 1t is a most far
reaching decision, he states, and may
affect some of the Southern Statec

so far as to restore negro domina-
ton.
This State has no grandfather
clause" imposing at present o"'s
literacy test. In the general regis.
tration following the adoption OF
the new constitution in 1902 certain
special provisions were made as 10
eligibility under that registration.
Mr.. Pollard was a member of the
constitutional convention and was
secretary of the Democratic caucus OF
that body which debated the sui
frape clauses for weeks behind closed
doors.
at appears that we have had
very narrow escape" said Mr. Pol
lard last night. mot even reporters
were admitted to the caucus when the
suffrage clauses was being debated.
There was strong element in favor
of grandfather clause which had
been adopted by some States. There
was also an element favoring an 'un-
derstanding clause and some op-
posed both. The effort was to elimi-
nate the negro from control and at
the same time disfranchise as few as
possible white men. The convention
finally adopted both a temporary un-
derstanding clause and temporary
grandfather clause, but both passed
opt with the general registration.
and we have now only Il literacy test.
Any man. white or colored, who can
write out his application for him
self can vote The real safeguard
against negro domination is the poll
tax. provision"
Mr.. Pollard recalled the effort Of
John S. Wise as counsel for certain
negroes to test the Virginia Consti-
tuition in the courts which was never
tried on it's merits mad finally drop
ped.
The Constitutional Convention Of
1902 wiped the slate clean, ordered a
new general registration of all voters
and provided the manner of registra-
tion thereafter. In the general reg
istration of 1902 it was provided that
one who had the qualifications Of
age and residence might register; if
he had served: in: the army or navy
of the United States, the Confederate
States or Of any State, the son of any
such person; any person owning
property on which taxes amounting
to 81 OF more had been paid for or

tion or to give a reasonable explana-
tion when read to him.

Gambler, Sept. 1S-Kenyon college
will continue to play Freshmen on
her teams in accordance with special
permission granted three years age
by the Ohio Conference and despite
resolution passed by the college as
sembly last year, stipulating that
Freshmen would not be played.
This resolution was revoked at a
special meeting of the Kenyon as.
sembly, held in Ascension hall last
night, and material for the football
team will be drawn from the Fresh.
man class just as has been the case
for the past three years.
When the Ohio Conference made
ruling, or rather an exception,
which allowed Kenyon to use first
year men until the college has at.
tained as large an attendance as in
1906 (when the conference was start.
ed), there was great Joy on the Hill.
That tribute was paid to the sports
manship and integrity of the college
was evident, as the rule barring the
first-year men from participation in
athletics was designed primarily to
do away with ringers" and other
questionable practices.
Last May the assembly, feeling
that the attendance this year would
come up to that of 1906, voluntarily
passed a resolution returning to the
old system of not using Freshmen.
When school opened this fall, it was
found that the attendance was still
short of the 1906 mark, so special
meeting of the assembly was called
last night and last years action re-
voked.

The amount Of cholera reported In
Russia during the six months ended
Dec. %, 1914, and the absence this
year of reports from that country, save
from Petrograd during the six months
following, indicate that the disease
has been more or less widely prevalent

20, 1915, cholera was reported to be
present in the prison camps In Ger

these cases were traceable to the seat
of war IN the east. The new infection
in the Balkan territory may have orig
