Suspicion, therefore, attaches to
the green bottle fly as a pest which
manufactures poisons, or at least
transmits poisons, from hogs which

only safe thing for farmers and 9th
ers to do. in order, to protect their
live stock, and possibly even human
health, is to burn or bury deeply al

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
CONSIDERS SUFFRAGE
Matter Discussed at Special Meet
ing, but No New Action is
Taken.
stafY Correspondence of EveryEvening

STAFF Correspondence OF EveryEvening
Dover. March 26.-Thc Democratic
State Committee held special meeting a,
the Hotel Richardson, here, yesterday
and considered the suffrage matter in.
formally. without, however, taking any
new action. Several months ago the com.
mittee held meeting at which a resolu,
tion of Endorsement was adopted.
Yesterdays meeting was called as the
result of petition presented by three oi
the members, Insurance COMMISSIONS,
Thomas r. Wilson of Milton. Benjamin
A. Hazel of Smyrna and DIR. James =.
Loiand of Milford.
1t was understood that one of the sign
ers OF the petition, which called for a meet
ing to consider ''the question of suffrage
and other party matters" would offer a
resolution in regard to the former, but
none was forthcoming. Then poll of the
members on suffrage was suggested, but
Chairman lsaacs ruled against it and rs
was taken. Next 1T was suggested that
there be a free discussion of the question
generally.
There was free discussion, which
developed division of opinion, but not
enough to override the former action:
therefore nothing was done.
Mrs. George p. Bass of Chicago, chair
man of the woman's section of the Demo
cratic National Committee, who was here
in the interest of suffrage, called on the
State Committee while it was in session,
and as it was not desired, according to
two of the members, to have her remain,
she retired after making a few remarks.

COAL WORKERS WANT
BIGGER WAGE INCREASE

New York, March 30.-Represen-
tatives of bituminous coal workers
announced today they would attempt
to obtain a greater wage increase
than the 81 per cent. accepted yes
terday by the joint conference of
operators and workers pending a
new agreement. The subcommittee
appointed by the conference to ar
range a new agreement began its
sessions today and the workers rep
resentatives pointed out their ac-
ceptance of the award of the btu
minous coal commission was only to
enable the mines to continue oper-
alton from April / during negotia-
tions.
At the close OF the subcommittee
meeting today bituminous operators
declared that as a result of the ~
per cent. wage increase to mine
workers the price of soft coal prob
ably will be advanced over present
prices from 81 to s1.25 a ton at the
mines. Because of favorable local
conditions in certain sections of Hi
nois. however, the price advance
there they SAID, will be only
65 cents.
William Green, International Sec
retary treasurer of the United Mine
Workers of America, and p. II.
Penna, secretary of the Indiana Coal
Operators association were named
by the joint committee as members
of contract committee to draft n
tentative wage agreement based on
the recent award of the bituminous
commission.

WILSON'S NOTE WON'T
AFFECT TURKISH TERMS

Washington, March 30.-President
Wilson's note to the allied supreme
council on the Turkish question will
not result in any material change in
the terms of the Turkish settlement
already agreed upon by the allied
supreme council according TO official
information received today in diplo-
matte circles. 1t also was said that
further negotiations between Wash
ington and the entente capitals was
regarded as unnecessary.
The United States, 1t is pointed
out. never declared war on Turkey,
and consequently il has only an in
direct interest in the Turkish prob
lem.
The presidents note w3s in 'eply
to a request from the French and
British governments for an express
sion of the American view on the
settlement The president reiterated
the American position that the
Turks should be expelled from Eu-
ROBE and Armenia erected as an in
dependent state with all the territory
its government could control The
presidents note will be made pub
lie within twenty four hours.
The Temps. commenting today on
President Wilson's note, says it will
be natural TO ask what guarantee
there would be Of the evacuation Of
the neutral zone by extra troops
Germany might send there. Appar-
entity, IL adds. Ambassador Wallace
did not receive data with the note
which would enable him to reply 10
such a question.
The note of the American presl-
dent is written in very conciliatorv
form. the Temps saws.
