heard in the southern part of the county.

bolder in their operations. U. @. Nc

KNOX IS URGED NOT
TO ENTER CABINET
Appointment of His Successor
Would Aid Gov. Sproul at

Washington. ID. G. Dec. 4.
There is little likelihood of any n.em-
ber of the Senate becoming a member
of the Harding Cabinet, according TO
Senate sources of information of the
most reliable nature.
The suggestion often repeated that
Senator Knox (Pa.) should be made
Secretary OF State again has been re-
garded until now as almost in the
class of certainties. However, the
statement by Senator Penrose (Pa.)
urging that Senator Knox remain in
the Senate is looked upon as spiking
this possibility.
Pennsylvania politics doubtless is re-
sponsible for this turn of affairs. 1t was
pointed out that In the event of Senator
Knox leaving the Senate the appoint
ment of a successor would rest In the
hands Of Gov Sproul, Senator Pen
roses chief rival for control Of State
politics. and evidently Senator Penrose
feels that this would put too much
power in the Governors hands.
Back of the desire TO keep all Repub-
lican Senator'S In their present positions
is recognition by the Republican leaders
that the cry OF control of the Republican
party and the next President by Sen
ate oligarchy'' is having some effect In
the party. The dissatisfaction with this
from some elements of the party was
evident as long ago as the Chicago con-
vention. Evidently leaders Of the Senate
have become convinced that the wlsest
course is to have the entire Cabinet
membership come from outside the Sem
ate. This would admit OF House mem
bers entering the Cabinet.
vice-President Marshall put in an ap-
pearance to-day and disapproved OF the
suggestion that the Vice-President
should attend Cabinet meetings. He
pointed out that the viee-Presdent can
not take the floor of the Senate and
speak and that II would be more reason
able to have the Republican floor leader
attend the meetings of the Cabinet.
Then, the vice-President pointed out,
this Senator could address the Senate
with the assurance to all OF his col
leagues that he was representing Ad-
ministratlon views when said so.

Rockefeller Fund Aids
France'sTuberculosisWar ar
Demonstrates Disease Is Durable
and Preventablc, Boards
Annual Report Saws

Great strides toward the eradication
of tuberculosis in France have been
made by agencies under direction Of
the international health board Of the
Rockefeller Foundation in the last
year, according to the second INSTALL
mcnt Of the boards annual report for
1919, made public yesterday. The ef
forts of the board have been largely
directed, the report says, to q demon
stration that tuberculosis is a durable
and preventable disease.
An outstanding feature Of the work
ir France, 1t is set forth. is the enact
ment there of law making 1t incum-
bent upon every department in the
country to either establish a tuber-
culosis santarium within five years
or to arrange to have the sanitariums
Of other departments receive its pa
tients. French general and municipal
councils, in the departments in which
the commission organized new dis
pensaries, appropriated during the
year approximately $4,000 for fight
ing the white plague.
Another item Of the boards activities
touched upon in the report is the
fight to stamp out the seedbeds of
yellow fever in Central and South
America. 1t says the disease. after
raging in Guayaquil for moro than a
hundred years, was brought under com
plete control in May, 1919. Other Sec
tions in which the fight against yell
low fever has been waged with crafty
ing results are Peru, Brazil, Honduras,
Salvatore and Nicaragua. Trained field
forces directed the work in each
country.

Inquiry Demanded
On Red Propaganda
In City's Schools
Prall Informed by American
Defense Society of Radi-
cal Literature Discovered
in Possession of a Boy

Aiming B. Prall, president of the
Board of Education, was asked yester-
dag by the American Defense Society
to begin an investigation Immediately
Of the alleged distribution Of Com
munist literature among school chill
dren in Greater New York
The society's letter to Mr.. Prall sets
forth that school children are being
used to distribute inhammatory circu-
lars urging the "Workers of Ame erica"
to declare war against the "Capitalist
State" 1t gave the name of boy
in whose possession one Of the circu-
lars is said to have been found. The
letter said in part:
This dangerous propaganda must
not be allowed to fall into the hands
Of our school children; it would be a
crime af. rst our future citizens if
we allu"ll' them to be corrupted by
disloyai propaganda.
we urge you to make inquiry of
this specific case at the earliest posi-
Bile moment and to investigate the
report of the circulation of these
handbills in other schools. We urge
that our boys and girls be warned of
the danger of such literature and of
their possible participation in its dis
tTlDutlOn.
1--WE ask that you give the matter
immediate action and publicity. We
gladly offer our hcarticst cooperation
in wiping out any taint of Bolshevism m
from the schools, and we feel certain
that you, may be relied upon to attend
to this deplorablc matter"
copy of the circular found in the
possession of the boy was forwarded
with the letter. 1t is of the usual
type distributed by radicals and says
in part:
"The capitalists of this country as
representing bankers have decided to
smash labor. They know that cvery
struggle of the workers, be it only for
little increase in wages, must in
evitably lead up to growing class con-
sciousness, growing revolutionary CON
sclousness of the workers, and finally
to the revolution.
Get ready for the final conflict, in
which the army of the workers will
meet the forces of the capitalists and
their state with the forces of the rcvo-
lutionary proletariat for the establish
ment Of state in which the will Of
the workers reigns supremc,"

Marine Show Opens To-day
Admiral Benson Will Deliver
Address at Chicago

CHICAGO, Oct. l7.-Admiral Benson,
chairman of the United States Shipping
Board, will open the National Marine
Exposition here tomorrow with an ad-
dress on the possibilities of lake and
inland water shipping and of Chicago's
future as port. The exposition. which
is under the auspices of the National
Marine League, will continue through
October %.
Chicago was chosen for the exposi-
tion practically by popular vote, ques-
tionnaire having been sent to va
nous interests asking them 10 desig-
nate the city Of their choice. St. Louis,
Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco
and other cities were voted for, but
Chicago won out. This is said to be
the first time that a marine exhibition
has been attempted in an inland city.
Exhibitors from the Atlantic and Pa
cihc coasts have contracted for great
er amount of space than those identi-
fed with Great Lakes shipping, and
this is counted on to give the exhibi-
tion visitors direct contact with ocean
traffic
