Dutch flag. The steamer was stopped
by British patrol boat, but showed
regular papers to a boarding party
and was allowed to proceed. Anoth.

southwark for several hours, but see

NEW YORK. April 27.-For the pur-
pose of expressing the sympathy Of
the Irish of New York "for the aspira-
lions of the Irish people to gain their
liberty" the United Irish societies will
hold mass melting here Sunday
night. John Dewey, editor of the
Gaelic American, Jeremiah A. OLeary,
president of the American Truth So

Dewey is expected to amplify his edi-

ireland Is now one of the belliger'
ents She has proved her title to rec
ognition as one Of the small nation

her blood"

BeIfino the Cat

Marshalltown Tim
The old story of the convention 6f
mice that unanimously and enthusiasts
tically adopted a resolution that the
cat must wear bell was repeated at
Cedar Rapids Wednesday when the
fifth district democrats came to
unanimous conclusion that Jim Good
should be defeated for congress. 1t
will be recalled that in the first men
toned convention all went swimming
ly until committee was to be named
to put the ball on. So in the later
convention all was agreeable and
going merry as marriage chimes until
it came to selecting the candidate to
put the bell on Good. And history
repeated itself. Nobody felt free to
grab bell and begin business.
Thus, as in that other notable incl
dent, it seems likely that Jim Good.
like the cat, will continue unbeIled.

and Malaria
 Costs U. s. Near Billion

Washington, July 1.-Typhoid and ma laria cause an economic loss of 1928, ,234 SS0 in the United States each year, &C., cording to estimates given the Senate to- day by Chairman Ransdell, of the Senate committee on public health, in an address on Rural Health-America's First Duty"
 "Over nine hundred million dollars lost every year." exclaimed the senator. "A sum which is sufficient to put our coun- try into a state of preparedness equal to that of any nation in the world, enough money to give us the largest navy afloat and the most efficient army which the world has ever seen, is annually offered up as a sacrifice to two diseases which are entirely preventable. Enough money to pay the annual expenses of every col lege student in the United States is ab- solutely thrown away every year.
 Senator Ransdell estimated the annual loss from typhoid fever at $271, ,932, SS0 and from malaria at $694 ,904, 750, the total per capita loss being $9.46
 By comparative estimates it was shown that the United tSates government ap- propriated $5.o16175 for investigation and prevention of diseases of animal and play life and only $1,917, 366 for investigation and prevention of diseases of men.

Columbus, Miss, Company
 Loses Nearly Half of Men


 Columbus, Miss, July 4.-(SpeciaL) Thirty-nine young men who went to the mobilization camp at Jackson, Miss, with the Columbus riflemen for the purpose of accompanying the Mississippi troops to the Mexican border, have returned to Columbus, all having been rejected on account of physical imperfections. There were less than 100 men with the com pany, so this makes the ratio of rejec- tions somewhere around 40 per cent. Most of the men were rejected because of minor physical defects, some being under weight, while many are either near sighted or flat-footed.
 Not only have local crops been ss- verely damaged by recent rains, but boil .weevis are making fierce inroads upon cotton, and farmers here are very much discouraged. The pests first in- vaded Lowndes county in 1911. and each year since then their ravages have ex- tended over wider range.
 Last year the farmers adopted policy of diversification, and planted potatoes ca abbages and other vegetables on an ex~ tended scale. These products could not be disposed of. however, and this year the policy of diversification was aban- doned. and the agriculturalists went back to raising cotton, the acreage devoted to the staple showing an increase of about 25 per cent over last season.

MANY YOUNG MEN REJECTED IN CAMP There Are Plenty of Re- cruits, However, to Fill
 Up Ranks

Montgomery, July 14.z(Special) Drills. target practice and instruction in military matters featured the day at the mobilization camp here. The work was purely routine, the duties of the officers and men being such as are every day performed at military posts and encampments.
 The medical officers are still hard at work examining the soldiers and there are many rejections every day. In fact. there have been so many re- jections in some of the companies as to make recruiting necessary in order to bring them up to the required min imum strength. Some of the companies that came to Montgomery with S5 or 90 men, or even more, have been re- duced in numbers to 50 or 60 men. These companies are now busy re- cruting. trying to build their strength up to 65 men.
 Officers are in Birmingham, Mobile and nearly all the larger cities of the state trying to secure additional men, and it is announced that their efforts are meeting with success. There are enlistments nearly every day.
 The opinion is very general that the three regiments will be here at least 50 days longer. The two batteries, A and c of Birmingham, and the signal corps are expected to be ordered away in the next few days. In fact, these orders have been expected since Sun day.
 The brigade as a whole, however. will remain in Montgomery, it is be- lieved. One reason that makes it nec- essary is the fact that a large mum Der of companies have not sufficient strength, as already indicated, and it is not considered probable that the brigade will be ordered away from Montgomery until every company has at least the minimum number of men required under the regular army regu- lations

ANNISTON

Anniston, July 14-(Specia1.) )-Following the publication last week of the ticket put out under authority of the legisla- tive committee of the Central Labor Union of Anniston, headed by c. D. Kline for mayor, another slate known as the "conservative ticket for coun- cil," has made it's appearance among the voters.
 John F. Williams, who seeks re-elec- ton as president of the city council, heads the conservative ticket, the coun- cilmanic candidates thereon being John r. Boozer and J. w. Mallory, First ward; c. A. Hamilton and w. E. Parker, sec ond ward; J. T. Henry and A. F. Me Ghee, Third ward; Shaler Houser and Ben R. Sawyer, Fourth ward; T. H. Cockerell and F. c. Wigley, Fifth ward.
 As has been brought out, the issue that has been stressed more than any other by both the labor candidates and the conservatives is the anti-picketing ordinance adopted sometime ago by the present city council. All of those on the conservative ticket are said to be com mitted to keep the anti-picketing ordi- nance in effect believing It to be essen- tial to Nthe future industrial growth of Anniston and in accord with the state law or equal tenor.
 The names of J. T. Henry and Shaler Houser appear both of the tickets. The others on the labor ticket l.. S. Hol- lngsworth and H. l.. Brown of the First ward Tom Carter and M. F'. Snyder or the Second ward, G. J. Settles Of the Third ward J. D. Holcombe of the Fourth ward c. c. Kennedy and Harry Powell of the Fifth ward, are said to be equally emphatic in opposition to the anti-picketing ordinance, believing it. an unjust discrimination against laboring men.
 Senator Kline, who heads the labor ticket, is making his campaign chiefly on the labor issue and on the issue that the city needs a spokesman, he being well known as an orator. Dr. l.. L. Scar borough is known as the progressive can ddate.
 Plans are maturing for an energetic campaign to be started for the establish ment of a Young Mems Christian asso- citation in this city, and these plans Will culminate in rousing mass meeting to be held in the courthouse on the evening of July "A.

VOTE ON SUFFRAGE
 PLANK EXPLAINED
True Sentiment of Some Alabama Delegates to St.
 Louis Not Expressed
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, July 14-(speciai) ) Some members of the Alabama delega- tion to the St. Louis convention were as much surprised when made cer- tain that they had voted for the equal suffrage plank in the platform as were their friends.
 As heretofore reported in The Age Herald, the majority report of the platform committee, that containing the suffrage plank. received 23 of 24 votes from Alabama--the only nega- tive vote having been cast by Ray Rushton.
 At one time it was apparently cer- tain that Alaoama's vote would be B against the majority report. and one 1 in favor of that report, it being under stood that as Capt. Frank S. White had signed the majority report as a member of the platform committee, he would support 1t in convention. al- though he believed the matter of suf- frage should be left to the delibera- tion of the several states.
 FIFE WAS SURPRISED
 
 ton at the present time on legal busi- ness, was a delegate to the St. Louis convention.
 Tt was my intention," said he to the correspondent of The Herald, "to vote against the majority report because I was not convinced that suf- frage plank should be contained in the platform, even for reasons of ex- pediency. When my vote was cast in would have been absurd to raise howl. But I want my friends to know that do not favor woman suffrage"
 As a matter of fact, along with nu- merous other members of the Alabama delegation MT. Fite left the conven- tion hall in order to catch an after noon train for Alabama. When the Alabamians left the hall the suffrage debate was raging It was the under standing of many of them that their votes would be cast as by a previous arrangement.
 In the Planters hotel. just before leaving for the station. Ray Rushton of M Montgomery and Judge N. D. Denson of Opelika held short conference as to the manner in which they would be recorded as voting. The two were un- der the impression that the majority of Alabama's votes would be cast against the majority report, and that of the delegates from the state at large, MT. Rushton, Judge Denson and A. H. Carmichael were recorded as opposing the incorporation of the plank. and Captain White as favoring the incor- poration only for the reason explained above.
 The matter is not regarded as of inn portance, but it is quietly discussed in various sections of the state as an interesting convention sidelight.

Herz is, as of yore. the accomplished light comedian. and really gets over better in motion pictures than he did on the stage. and that Is saying a good deal.
 The Purple Lady" is a light comedy admirably suited for the quaint talents of Mir. Herz. and the Rialto appeared well satified with the offering yesterday. It is very likely that large audiences will see The Purple Lady" again today.
