Commission is Denied Right of
 Visit to Russia

Washington, June 2.-Informal re- quests of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States for passports for commission to enter Russia to study problems concerning the Rus sian trade with that country has been refused bv the state department.
 Officials explained today that the consient attitude of the department has been to refuse all requests from travellers and commercial agents seeking to enter bolshevik territory. It was said the attitude of the Amer ican government had not changed to- ward the resumption of commercial relations with Russia. despite the prooram of negotiations to this end in London between the bolshevik minister of trade and commerce, Krassin, and Premier Lloyd George and representatives of other govern ments.
 Even should Great Britain decide to modify her former attitude tow ards the question officials said the United States would not necessarily be influenced to take favorable ac- ton.
 Opposition of the state department is not expected to apply to the pro- posed visit of the commission to Europe. It is understood that no obstacles will be interposed to the study of the Russian question by the commission in countries outside Rus sia.

ASK GRAND JURORS
 TO COMPEL REPORTS ON VITAL STATISTICS
State Board of Health Officer Displeased With Results
 Here

Mary Ellis Brown, Little Rock. statistician for the Arkansas State Board of Health, will go before the next session of the grand jury and will ask that the grand jurors take up the question of delay and failure to report vital statistics in Pine Bluff and Vaugine township.
 The grand jurors probably will be asked, Dr. Brown intimated yester- day, to summon the physicians and undertakers of Jefferson county and compel them to make reports prompt ly on all births and deaths.
 There are several statutes under which the grand jurors can pro- ceed, pr. Brown stated
 For April, she declared, there were but one birth and six deaths record ed in Pine Bluff and Vaugine town ship. she stated. Dr. Brown declar- ed recently that the department is having more trouble with failure of physicians to report than it is with the failure of undertakers.
 "The very necessary matter of re- porting for record the vital statis- tics in Pine Bluff is being shamefully neglected" she said. land I am go- ing to see the grand jurors about it and see what can be done."

All Mention of PrihibitiOn is Carefully Avoid
 ed

Washington, June 2.-The tentative draft of the republican national plat form was given it's finishing touches at conferences here today, and Senator Watson, Indiana, in charge of the task, will leave for Chicago tomor- row to confer with prospective mem bers of the conventions committee
 The plank on Mexico was added to the draft today It was written by Senator Fall, New Mexico, head of the subcommittee on Mexican affairs and later was revised in minor respects at conference attended by Senator Watson, Senator Lodge, Massachu- setts, republican leader of the senate and member of other prominent re- publicans. It is understood to follow in general the tions made by Senator Fall in his report to the senate, declaring that unless condi- United States should intervene.
 All mention of prohibition is omit ted from the tentative draft and it was understood that those who con ferred here would recommend against any declaration on the subject. That issue, it was suggested. should be re- PafdeQ as Settled. me JtenCatlVe draft contains declaration, however, urging prompt ratification of the wo- man suffrage amendment.
 Another declaration missing from the platform is that relating to the soldier bonus. Leaders here said they were unprepared to make any recommendation on the subject under present conditions and that plank on the subject would be worked out at Chicago.
 No attempt was made to reach a final decision on plank relating to the league of nations. Several tenta- tive declarations have been drafted, however. and will be laid before the party chiefs at Chicago.
 In it's work the conference had be- fore it the platform adopted by the Virginia democrats and recently given the approval of President Wilson. It was said that every effort was made so to phrase the resolution draft that it would make the issues as clear and direct as possible.
