tim Of ApopIexy.
END COMES VERY SUDDENLY
Executive Had Been Suffering From
Attack of Ptomaine Poisoning,
but Was Not Seriously III.

Clinton, La, Dec. Ex-Governor
Winfield Scott Hammond of Minneso-
ia died suddenly in hotel here from
stroke OF apoplexy, which physicians
said apparently had been superin-
duced by a recent attack of ptomaine
poisoning. He died before physicians
could arrive.
Governor Hammond, accompanied
by ]. A. Novel;, arrived here three
days ago to inspect his extensive land
and lumber interests in East Feliciana
parish He had not been we'll for sew
eral days, but was able to go about
the town and parish and did not con-
slider his condition sufficiently serious
to consult physician.
Death occurred in the Going hotel
at Clinton. The attack of ptomaine
poisoning was acquired supposedly on
the dining car between st. Paul and
Chicago.
The governor spent Christmas day
in New Orleans and was ill at that
time. Mr.. Novel; urged him to wait
in that city until he had recovered
his full health, but Sunday the gov
ernor insisted that he was thoroughly
himself and able to complete his trip
to Clinton,

BELIEVES MISSION
Will YET SUCCEED

New York, jan 3.-Henry Ford en-
tertains no doubt of the eventual sue
cess of his peace movement. That
was the first announcement of the De-
troit manufacturer who financed and
led the peace expedition which left
here Dec. on the steamship Oscar
II. for Copenhagen, when he arrived
in New York on the steamer Ber-
gensfjord.
Mr.. Ford confirmed cable reports
that his leaving the party he organic
ed had been fastened by illness, but
declared his return had been fastened
only few days as he had intended
to return within the month.
"The movement is now organized
and under way" Mr.. Ford said. Peo-
pie are talking about it and. while
some criticise. when people talk they
think. and when they think they think
right"

DISEASE SPREADS RAPIDLY
Most Serious Epidemic Of Influenza
Every Known.


Washington, Jan 4-Inf1uenza Is
spreading over the United States from
coast to coast in the most serious cpl
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 by Surgeon Cen
eral Blue, show that already the dis
ease has created a grave problem for
many of the larger cities and Is
spreading to the rural communities.
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia.
Boston, San Francisco. Seattle, Cleve-
land and Detroit reported the disease
widely prevalent. Cleveland and De-
troit each have probably 10000 casesA

Foreign Situation Calls Him
Back to Washington.
UhEASIAESS AMONG S0LONS

Senators and Representative Are In
cIned to Proceed cautiously-offl.
ciaIs Regard the Submarine contro-
versy as Being in a Most Delicate
Stage.
Washington, Jan. A complete
showdown between the United States
and the Teutonic allies on the subject
of submarine warfare is likely to be
the outcome of the sinking Of the
British liner Persia, according to opin-
ions expressed in high official circles.
In the same quarters it is regarded
as more than probable that within
the next few days the United States
will approach informally the entente
powers, with view to getting them
to agree henceforth to permit no guns
to be mounted on passenger liners.
The purpose of both Of these moves,
now under consideration, say respon-
sible officials, is to safeguard the
lives of American citizens who may
be compelled to take passage on the
high seas on merchant ships flying
the flags of belligerent nations.
If this end is attained, it is declared,
the sinking of the Persia, tragic as it
was in the enormous toll of human
life, may after all prove blessing in
disbuise.
President Wilson is back in Wash
ington from Hot Springs, Va, and will
take charge of the entire situation.
It Is likely, too, that there will be a
general airing of views on the floors
of both the house and senate. Return
ing members talked OF little but con.
sequences that might result from the
sinking Of the Persia.
Although administration leaders are
uniformly inclined to proceed eau
tiously and to await positive informa-
ton there is general feeling of un-
easiness among senators and represent
tatives over the gravity of foreign af-
fairs.
It seems assured that the senate
committee on foreign affairs will take
up the resolution submitted by Sena-
tor Hoke Smith calling for an inquiry
into Great Britain's interferences with
neutral commerce and the amendment
by Senator Lodge to investigate de-
struction of the Lusitania and other
acts by belligerents resulting in de-.
struction Of American lives.
