AT SAME LUNCHEON
Cleveland Physicians Puzzled
BY MaIady Which Resembles
Typhoid Fever.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 25.-cleve-
lands sblest physicians are puzzled
today over the mysterious malady
which has attacked and made seri-
ously i'll thirty-eight society women
OF this city and its suburbs. All at
tempts at an authoritative diagnosis
have failed.
Physicians agree that the illness is
some form OF typhoid fever. but are
unable TO make definite diagnosis
as TO its exact form or to assign a
positive cause. Health authorities
and many private physicians are con
tinuing rigid Investigations.
The thirty-elght women who are
seriously III and many others who
have been made slightly III were
guests at a luncheon given on June
25 at the home OF Mrs George S.
Case. in Lakewood. "a suburb. They
were served, according to Mr.. Case.
with sandwiches, ice cream and chick
| en- salad.
The caterer who served the food
has been Investigated and approved.
Although many OF the women have
/ been i'll for week or more, II was
not until a large number of cases sim
| liar in character aroused the curios-
| ity and interest OF physicians that an
investigation was made. IL was then
I found that all OF the women suffering
from the peculiar mslady had been
guests at the Case luncheon.
One theory being investigated is
that the disease may have been com

with the serving or the preparation
Of the food who is what physicians
| call "A typhoid carrier" II is thought
possible also that the disease mao
| have been carried to the victims
| through the cream served with the
coffee or the lettuce used in the salad
One feature that is puzzling physi-
| clans and health authorities is that.
while several men attended the lunch

DELAYRECOGN|z|NG
MEXICAN REGIME
State Department Officials De-
eide to Await Elections in
Southern Republic.

The United States Government will
defer the question OF Mexican recog-
milton for at least one month to await
the outcome of the elections in Mex
leo. Decision has been reached. II Is
understood. to continue the informal
discussions with Senior Iglesias Cal
deron, Mexican high commissioner,
with a view to reaching more com
plete accord.
Authoritative denial was made that
delay in granting recognition to the
new regime in Mexico had been due
to any hitch in the pending negotia-
tions The conferences up to this
point have proceeded smoothly, it was
declared, and the State Department Is
"favorably impressed" with the as
surances of the Mexican envoy rela-
tive to the ability of the new regime
to fulfill it's promises in respect TO
certain agreements having vital
bearing upon MeXico's economic stat
US with this and other countries.
The State Department is understood
to be convinced that the bulk of the
Mexican population are behind the
present regime, but takes the posi-
ton there is no need for haste in eN-
tending recognition. Officials stated
that the elections in Mexico are to be
held early in September, and there are
several points to be cleared up In the
discussions now under way.
This, officials said. is not to, be
construed as a lack of confidence in
the ability of the de la Huerta re-
gime. On the contrary, the new re-
gime is believed to be the strongest
that Mexico has had in ten years and
capable Of bringing order throughout
the republic within a short period if
properly assisted.

TURN DOWN PLEA
FOR STEEL PROBE
Federal Trade Commission Re-
fuses to Issue Complaint
Against Corporations.

BY a vote OF three to two the Fed.
eral Trade Commission yesterday
dismissed the application OF the
Consumers and others for the issuance
Of a formal complaint against the
United States Steel Corporation and
others. The case was known as the
pittsburgh Basing Point for Steel
Prices" case, and was filcd by fabri-
Gators or manufacturers of steel
products in the Chicago. Duluth, and
Birmingham districts against pro-
ducers OF steel.
The applicants advanced the propo-
sition that the practice OF the steel
manufacturers in fixing the price OF
steel, which is made and used at such
centers as Chicago, Duluth, and Bir-
mIngham, upon the price free on
board mill at Pittsburgh, plus the
freight rate from Pittsburgh TO such
centers, operates as a disc imination
In price in favor of Pittsburgh fabri-
Gators az against fabricators in Chi
cago, Duluth, and Birmingham dis
tricts, in violation OF section = OF the
Clayton antitrust law, and also was
an unfair method OF competition in
NlOldtion ol stsliOn OF tHe FtucIdl
Trade comm ssion act.
CommissioRe Colver said that the
PittsburgR base price was an estab-
lIshcd thing in the theory and practice
of steel manufacture and sale when
the steel fabricating industry came
into being. "It was one of the factors
taken into consideration by fabri-
Gators when they selected the sites for
their plants" he said. ''It is no new
thing, no unforeseen factor imposed
upon the fabricators Therefore, II
does not project any new method OF
competition. fair or unfair. into the
Industry OF steel fabricators."
Commissioners Colver Murdock, and
Gaskill voted to dismiss the case.
while Commissioners Thompson and
Pollard voted against dismissal.
Commissioner Thompson, in voting
against dismissal, said that there were
many essential matters in dispute,
such as. for example, whether the
Duluth and Birmingham districts can
or are supplying more than the needs
of their respective communities, or
whether steel is made cheaper in
Duluth than in Pittsburgh, and many
other facts which can only be OBJ
tanned through formal hearing, "all
of which," said Thompson, "the com
mission should knew before IL can
determine whether the law of supply
and demand is functioning without
artificial restriction"

for Wcapons-State Troopers
Ouell JJprising

BEDFORD HILLS, n. Y, July 25.-
Carving knives, fiat irons, and night
sticks played leading roles in a riot
OF tho 200 inmates of the Bedford
State reformatory for women, yes
terday.
The riot grew out of quarrel
which started in the laundry when
negresses armed with fiat irons and
carving knives drove at their white
neighbors.
White viragoes rallied to whites
and black to black, and there followed
a wild scrimmage outside the cot
tages OF the reformatory. Policeman
Wade clubbed the neRresseS who
lunged at him with knives into un-
consciousness.
He did so in sclf-defense. state
troopers drove the women into their
quarters. Laxity of discipline as re-
quired by the orders of the new
prison board is said to have caused
the outbreak.
