Typhus Danger.

The use of Camp Dix or some other
nearby cantonment as an inspection and
sterilizng camp for immigrants arriving
here from Europe was strongly urged
yesterday by DR.. Royal S. Copeland In a
letter to Surgeon-General Hugh S. Cum
ming of the United States Public Health
Service DIR. Copeland based his plea on
the ground that only by some such ac-
ton would the city be protected from
typhus and other diseases.
Dr. Copeland made his suggestion af-
ter a conference with Frederick A.
Wallis, Commissioner of immigration.
and fifteen representatives of transat-
lantic lines. The conference dealt with
the Health Commissioners investigation
OF the manner in which typhus was
brought into the city by passengers on
the liner Presidente Wilson. Commits
sioner Wallis agreed that some system
of disinfection must be adopted.
Dr. Copeland said that several cases
of typhus had developed in Brooklyn and
one In Harlem among passengers from
the liner, and that of the 1851 steerage
passengers who had fortunately been
held on board twelve TO sixteen cases de-
veloped.

izing bath and had his clothing and bag

shame to think how easily travellers

Both houses OF the Legislature to-
nightadopted resolutions authorizing At
torney-General Newton to test the con-
stitutionality Of the Esch Federal water
power law. They were introduced by
Senator Lusk and Assemblyman Adler,
the majority leaders. The State is con-
testing the provisions of the law. which

Sion jurisdiction over water used for

claims this Jurisdiction.
The Assembly passed the Steinberg

Financial aid for the schools of New
York city and provisions for the deficit
for teachers salaries is provided for in a
bill introduced tonight by Senator
Charles c. Lockwood. The school
deficit amounts to about $4,000, 600,
which the Board of Estimate cut out OF
the budget on the ground that it would
have brought the. city's expenses above
the constitutional debt limit
The LOCKWOOD measure permits the
Board of Education to make up special
budget for this amount and to issue
special revenue bonds to make UP the
deficit.
Senator Ward v. Tolbert introduced
bill tonight repeating the law passed In
1918 authorizing the New York city
Police Commissioner to retire on an in

represented by the brewers and other
similar organizations. Anderson de-
clared the drys take the position their
fight is won and that they will be on the
job tomorrow merely to see there is no
possibility of breaking down the fruits
of their victory.
Among the opponents to State enforce
ment bills are exnected to be representa-
tives OF some of the recently formed anti
blue law organizations. The purpose Of
one of these was not only to prevent
further restrictive Sunday laws. but to
fight the present national prohibition

 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Feb. T. Responsible sentiment in Arkansas is running strongly against the night riding undertaken in this and other cotton growing states to prevent the ginning and marketing of cotton al the present low prices. Representa- tive planters, bankers and business men feel that this form of lawless- ness is giving the South a "blach eye"
 At a recent meeting of the Arkan sas division of the American Cotton Growers Association here night rid ing was condemned as an act of gross ignorance. State officials have taken a vigorous stand against night riding and are being given support among others, from Claude Fitzpat ing Association All the forces Of the state and local governments in Arkansas are now cooperating to pre- vent further lawlessness in the cot ton ginning centers.
 This counter movement is believed to be doing much to stop the activ- ities of the night riders. Mass meet ings have been held in many towns and the cooperation of the citizens has been offered officers in main taining order.
 Acts of violence for which night riders have been given credit in Arkansas, have taken various forms in addition to the burning of gins warehouses and other property, farm CTS who have attempted to market their cotton have been threatened with death or severe punishment. and in some cases have been badly maltreated Negro families have been intimdated and driven from their homes because they sought employment or worked as cotton pickers.
