HUGHES' VIEWS ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 ARE CONFLICTING
Senator Pittman Calls At tention to How Candidate Reversed Himself Over
 Night on Subject

Washington, August 5.-Senator Pittman asserted in the Seante today that the republican presidential nominee had re- versed his opinion over night on the federal suffrage amendment, and called upon republican leaders to say what MT. Hughes course would be in regard to the amendment, if he sholud be elected.
 MT. Hughes on July S1, in his speech of acceptance declared against woman suffrage by federal amendment" said senator Pittman. He indorsed the suf- 1rage plank in the republican platform. which specifically leaves to each state the right to settle the question for itself
 ''On the day following MT. Hughes made another declaration directly opposed to his former announcement. In a tele- gram to Senator Sutherland on August l MT. Hughes said: My view is that the proposed amendment should be submit ted and ratified and the subject removed from political discussion.
 'Is it possible that Senator Borah, who prepared the plank, or Senator Lodge, who submitted 1t to the convention, may have discussed this with MT. Hughes since the conflicting declarations were made and appeared to state what view will govern him if he Is elected? I sub init that the American people are entitled to definite and final statement"

mendous growth of intelligence amongst the negroes as we'll as the whites concern ing the disease, for 1t is evident that only watchful and intelligent people will seek examination when the tuberculosis symp- toms are extremely slight and doubtful.
 'The nurses have paid 296 visits during July, the extreme storminess of the month having been a great hindrance to visitation work. Thirteen hundred sputum cups and S700 paper napkins were distributed, medicine given in five cases and relief in five, 12 sputum specimens were sent to the laboratory for examina- tion and three Wasseman tests were made for the association. Nine children were passed over to the open air school six cases sent to the sanatorium and two negroes being helpless, sent to the aims house. Ten new cases were reported to the board of health, and 12 houses re- ported for Immigration. There were eight deaths in this department.
 The open air school had it's first com plete month of work in July Very great assistance has been rendered by Mrs Barnes Morgan and others, and generous gifts have been made and are planned Of these some will fall under the August report.
