washington, Jan. 3.-In1uenza is
spreading over the United States from
coast to coast in the most serious epi-
demic ever known, taking large toll
In lives and causing economic loss by
incapacitating workers in all walks
Of life. Reports from public health
service officers. made public tonight
by Surgeon General Blue, show that
already the disease has created a
grave problem for many of the large
cities and is spreading to the rural
communities. New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle,
Cleveland and Detroit reported the
disease widely prevalent. Cleveland
and Detroit each have probably 100.-
900 cases. or the larger cities, Buff
falo, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, San
Diego, Dallas and Mobile reported no
signs Of an epidemic.
There is practically nothing the
federal government can do towards
aiding in suppressing the epidemic.
1t must be dealt with by local au-
thorities and they in turn. it is ex-
planned, are almost helpless without
cooperation from the public. Surgeon
General Blue said tonight he had
called for reports from all parts of
the country with the hope that pub
licity would tend to stimulate this CO.

attitude of the United States on this
point in the future.
1t is understood that he is waiting
an opportunity to discuss it with Presi-
dent Wilson.
The Italian ambassador called on
Mr.. Lansing during the afternoon
seeking information on the question.
He was referred to the position taken
by the United States at the beginning
Of the war.
During a later discussion of the
subject Secretary Lansing revealed
that Germany had abandoned some
time ago it's contention that the Lusi-
tania was an armed merchantmen.
This claim was originally made in
justification Of the sinking of that
ship, and affidavits were presented to
substantiate it. The affidavits were
proved to be false.
The Japanese ambassador, Viscount
Chinda, also called on the secretary.
His purpose was to obtain any details
which might have been received re-
garding the sinking Of the Japanese
liner Yasaka.
The secretary had received no re-
ports OF importance. He indicated
later that no action would be taken
by the United States in that case be-
cause the only passenger aboard that
vessel supposedly Of American birth

China and had never perfected Amer

HEARING IN UNION CASE,
SEASE LISTENS TO ARGUMENTS
ON INJUNCTION.
Takes Dtspenary Matter Under Ad.
visement - To Render Judgment
Soon.

Spartanburg, Jan. A hearing
was held before Judge Sease at cham
bers at Spartanburg today upon the
question of whether the temporary
Injunction and rece'~ership for the
Union county dispe 1should be
the mssssr sss'r'asss, aassr IS ksas' sss' took
torney. Macbeth a obtained a
temporary injunl : nd receiver last
week. Thomas 5 Aly was appoint-
ed temporary = Er and the board
of control ws % borarily restrained
from interfS $ any way with the
assets or lH of the institution.
The city Aion was today repre-
sented by beth Young and John
K. Hambn.- ppeared as attorney for
the county and school interests. The
dispensary board members, defendants
in the case, were present and were
represented by J. Gordon Hughes and
j. Frost Walker, Jr. The complaint
set up by themotion for receiver being
appointed gave as ground for such
action the argument that legally there
was no board, the property was with,
out technical protection and the in.
terests of the people were therefore In
jeopardy. 1t was also alleged that the
profits for 1915 paid to the town OF
Union were profits accruing before
that year. eIt was argued that the
debts Of the institution having all been
paid. whatever assets were left were
the property Of the town of Union, the
county Of Union and the school fund.
The answer to the complaint read by
j. Gordon Hughes denied certain por-
tions Of the complaint, alleging that
the board Of control had not run q
closed corporation, that it had given
full and free Information to the pub
lie, and an accurate set OF books had
been kept and audited, that reports
had been filed with the proper ofacials
and posted every three months. It
was also stated that profits haa been
ERaaa&tost sthass,s - -
absolutely untrue that no money haa
been paid during the year 1915, as
over $4,000 had been paid to each
of the three beneficiaries. 1t was fur
ther stated that everything had been
paid out except the stock on hand and
$4,000, which had been reserved as an
emergency fund.
Mr. Hamblin, representing the
schools and county at large. stated
that he was present to look after these
interests, did not ask for a receiver
and did not desire one, but IL one
should be appointed requested that
]. T. Jeter, county supervisor, and
James H. Hope, superintendent of ed
ucation, be made the receivers, they
having offered to serve free of
charge. They would not be allowed
to charge for such official work. as
they already hold county Offices.
In the answer of Mr.. Hughes there
were a number of exhibits In the ma
ture of affidavits from citizens of
Union testifying to the good charac-
ter and business ability of the men,
bers of the board Of control. These
were: r. p. Morgan, j. H. Bartles, ].
II. Hope. D. c. Flynn, ]. H. Spears and
w. ID. Arthur, the last named being
the clerk Of the city Of Union.
Judge Sease stated that he would
take the matter under advisement at
once and render his decision in the
next day or two.
