SPANIEL WILL NOT
 TALK ABOUT CASE
Feeling Against Slayer of Wife and Officer Is High in Alpine, Where
 the Tragedy Occurred

Fl Paso, Tex, July 22.-Obviously suf- fering great mental distress, Harry J. Spannell, who recently shot and killed his wife and Lieut. Col. M. C. Butler at AL pine, Tex, spent tonight in cell in the local county jail in which Gen. Victoriano Huerta was confined year ago. He was guarded by deputy sheriffs from Brewster county and two Texas rangers.
 Every attempt was made to keep secret the news of the prisoners presence, and Brewster county authorities refused to permit anyone to communicate with Span nell. They said he did not desire to dis cuss his case and added that he had re- tained no attorney.
 Much feeling has arisen in Alpine, especially because of the death of Mrs. Spannell, who had been reared there, knew most of the townspeople personally and was said to be one of the most pop ular young women in west Texas.
 It is believed probable Spannell will be held until tomorrow night, when he will be taken to Alpine for a preliminary examination.

NEW YORK OBJECTS
 TORIGID QUARANTINE AGAINST PARALYSIS
Authorities Do Not Think This Is Necessary-Cases to Date 2662 and 55S
 Deaths

New York, July 22.-Federal and city health officials who are cooperating in an effort to stamp out the epidemic of infantile paralysis here tonight criticized the rigid quarantine being enforced in other states against persons travelling ont of New York.
 Dr. C. Fl. Lavinder, senior surgeon of the United States public health service declared that too strict a quarantine in- evitably defeats its purpose. Persons in good health are kept out, he said, while those who should be intercepted usually find way to get through
 City Health Commissioner Emerson said that some health authorities in cities adjacent to New York were taking un- necessarily stringent measures.
 Drastic quaranties, such as are being declared against New York children. can scarcely be the result of logical conclu- sions from scientific knowledge," he said. Had these towns cleaned up as we have they would not have to fear so much the invasion of disease"
 Hundreds of "quack' doctors. patent medicine fakirs and t-rich-ouicl," oCHeAleTS are tnr1Vlng on the epidemic, Dr. Oscar M. Leiser. assistant director of public health education, declared to- day. Solutions that cost to 10 cents gallon to prepare are being sold for S1 bottle," he asserted. Many of these he said, are harmful if they are not use less.
 Commenting on the big increase in the number of deaths from the disea SC. Health Commissioner Emerson insisted that the outlook was mot discouraging," as irregular returns were to be expected.
 There were more deaths in the epidemic Of infantile paralysis during the last "A hours than at any time since the incep- tion of the disease four weeks ago. Since 10 a. m. yesterday the disease killed 39 children in the five boroughs, of New York city. There were 135 new cases.
 The plague took big stride In Man haitian, where there were 10 deaths, the largest number yet reported. The dis ease gained in the Bronx, where there were five deaths. A marked increase was shown in Brooklyn, the seat of the dis ease, and cases and deaths In the other two boroughs indicated that the epi- demic, aided by wave of high humidity, was becoming more widespread.
 Cases to date total 2662 and deaths 55S.

action, that the United States has no serious intention of armed action.
 Chairman Chamberlain and Senator Lee had tilt over the number of guardsmen on the border. MT. Lee con- tended that he had evidence that 91 ,000 state troops already were there and that 36,000 more were mobilized in camps throughout the states. Chairman Chamberlain declared Senator Lees fig ures wrong, but declined to tell the war departments figures on the ground that they were a military secret.
 Senator Wordsworth declared that nearly all of the delay in getting state troops to the border was due to failure to get equipment from the Philadelphia arsenal and he recommended that each state store it's own equipment. Despite some criticisms of the mobilization of the 'guardsmen, Senator Wadsworth de- clared it was a glorious success and he doubted if any army in the world ever had been transported so long a distance with such good accommoda- tlons for the troops

BRITISH BLACKLIST
 STIRS CONGRESS TO
 GREAT INDIGNATION
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One)
 President will take is unknown On the part of Congress. however, there is ap- parently a disposition to arbitrate to the end that Great Britain might retire from a position which it Is thought certain 1t cannot uphold in law, and, in the event of failure of this direction, to retaliate. The idea gains strength that England needs America, in the present emergency, more than America needs England; and that England, under all conditions, is as dependent on America as America on England.
 THE DOLLARS POWER
 It is the conclusion of Congress that Great Britain is proceeding uhler the theory that the almighty dollar is the raison d'tre of the American nation-that the government of the United States, interested exclusively in the trade prosper ity of it's people, will submit to any in- dignity if any course other than servile submission would mitigate against finan- cial prosperity.
 In the war prosperity of the American nation it is admittedly true that England has been this country's most profligate customer. It Is also admitted that were England to withdraw its trade relation ship, or were this government, through retaliation to prevent American firms dealing with a nation which had sought to punish other American firms, there would be a sudden and lamentable sur cease of the jingle in the American pocket.
 From the present indications, however, the President and Congress are not to De reconciled to the English act of ''black- listing.'' and it is promised that unless England retires from it's present position, trade war will be declared. The only difference in the attitude of the Presi- dent and that of Congress is that the former has a tendency to delay and the latter would act precipitously.
 AS result, negotiations in a very mod est tone will probably be extended throughout the remainder of the summer

A SANITARY CITY
 IN SIXTY DAYS |S
 CAMP PAIGN SLOGAN
Meeting of Health Commit tees of Various Organiza- tiOns to Be Held
 Monday

Definite steps for cooperative action in behalf of a healthier Birmingham will be taken Monday afternoon, when a meeting Will be held at the Chamber of Com- merce by the various health committees that have been appointed by civic organi- zattons to cooperate with the health committee of the Medical society and the health authorities of the city.
 At the solicitation of Dr. Parke, chair man Of the health board, and other health officials, committees have been appointed by all the civic organizations, and these committee will meet with the health committee Monday afternoon. The city will be represented by Commission CT Hornady and pr. Cecil Gaston, health officer. MT. Hornady will offer as a. slo- gan for the campaign "A Sanitary City in Sixty Days" and he believes that the city can be freed of dry closets in this period if there is a systematic and well organized movement in this direction He calls attention to the fact that Dr. Lums- den, the distinguished typhoid expert, pointed to the dry closet as the greatest single evil, and he believes that the en- ergies of the community should be di- rected toward ridding the city of this great source of peril.
 PLAN WILL BE DEVISED
 A conference of the city commissioners has been called for Monday morning at 10 o'clock, when the recommendations of pr. Lumsden will be gone into thoroughly and plans will be devised for carrying out his suggestions, as far as it is in the power of the authorities.
 Dr. Lumsden's suggestion for getting rid of the dry closet was for the property owner to furnish the fly proof closet, the city to furnish the can, and the tenant to pay for the collection of the refuse. The commissioners realize the great in- portance of the movement and will at- tempt to provide the means for furnish ing the cans, and there is every reason to believe that the insSr1-iation of the fly proof closet will be required by ordi- nance. It is at this point that the co. operation of the public will be needed to carry the plan through without unneces- sary delay, and 1t is for this reason that the officials look with so much favor upon the organized movement for improved health conditions. They feel that with all the civic organizations lined up solidly, the fight for the elimination of the dry closet can be carried through without liti- gation or undue hindrance
 Both Dr. Parke, chairman of the health board, and Commissioner Hornady, in charge of the health department, urge every member of every committee to at tend the meeting at the Chamber of Com merce Monday afternoon.
