all schools, public and mission,
where there are Indian pupils in
attendance and to investigate con-
ditjons concerning the extent and
progress of trachoma and other
diseases among the Chippewas,
especially Indian pupils who are
attending school. So far DR..
Culp has visited some nineteen
schools, in addition to the schools
on the White Earth reservation,
the larger number of these being
public schools, and where some
357 Indian pupils were in attend
ance. The total enrolment in the
schools visited, including white
aud Indian pupils, was 1921. In
one school at Onigum, Leech Lake
reservation, he found 40 pupils
afflicted with trachoma, many Of
cases in an advanced stage of the
disease. He reports that in the
neighborhood of Cass Lake he
visited public school which was
being conducted in a, small log
building. about sixteen feet square,
with an enrolment of ~ pupils
and which included several Indian
pupils. Such unsanitary condi-
tons are deplorable and are hot

Ex.Cov. Smith to Testify
In Lazarus Larceny Case
Expected to Say Doctor Did Not
Help Convicted Firebug
Obtain Communication

Alfred f. Smith, Ex-Governor, is sx-
pected to testify to-day at the trial of
DR.. Bernard Lazarus, charged wita
grand larceny. The caae will be called
in General Sessions before Judge Mott.
1t is believed Ex-Governor Smith will
say that neither Lazarus nor Morris |.
Rosenberg was instrumental in OBJ
tanning the communication of the ten
year sentence of Jacob Smith for
arson.
Lazarus was indicted September rs.
1920, with Rosenberg, an insurance
agent, for obtaining $4,000 from Mrs.
Rebecca Smith, of Sd Atlantic Avenue,
Brooklyn, on the representation that
Lazarus was former Governor Smiths
personal physician and could get her
husbands sentence commutcd. Smith
was convicted of burning the creamery
of Smith Brothers, at Cato, in Cayuga
County. N. Y, in 1919. The citizens of
Cayuga County shortly afterward pre-
sented petition to the then Governor
urging clemency for Smith, and com
mutation was granted. When, however.
the former Governor was told by
Charles Steinberg, of Union Hill, N. J..
attorney for Mrs. Smith in the trans
action, that money had been passed,
the communication was revoked i'm
mediately.

publication of an entirely false story.
A verdict was thereupon found against
the paper for $4,000 damages and the
costs OF the suit. This result was uni
versally regarded as full vindication
Of Sir Arthur Wears and, Of course
Lady Haddo.
Sir Arthur Wears was born at Lean
ington on July 27 1864, the son of
Colonel Wears. of the British Army
He was educated at Oxford. married Miss
Gertrude Wright, was knighted in 1896
and was Ulster King of Arms and Reg
istrar and Knight Attendant of the Or
der of st. Patrick from 1893 to 1908. He
was a fellow of the Society of Antigua
ries, of London; a government trustee
of the National Library of Ireland, sec
retary of the Kildare Archaeological
Society and the author Of the Index to
the Prerogative Wills of Ireland since
1886. His home, which he inherited
from his mother, was Kilmorna, County

British Crews
Won't Desert
Vessels Here
Strike Call Will Not Be
Answered Until Men Are
in Home Ports; Would Be
Mutiny on Sea, They Fear
Sailing Schedules Stand
Union Seamen Will Take
Carmania and the Other
Big Liners to England

Advices of general strike in Eng
land and the strike decision of all
unions that have to do with men who
serve on British steamships in all ca
pacities were received in this city yes
terday by Robert Hawton. of the stew
ards department of the White Star
liner Olympic. which arrived here on
Wednesday. Upon receipt, the plans
of the British unions to strike on all
vessels in home ports was dissent
mated throughout the British tonnage
in New York Harbor.
The strike will not affect any Brit
ish steamships now in this port, as
the men do not wish to go on record
as striking in foreign ports. This they
regard tantamount to mutiny and the
same as though they had struck on the
high seas.
To Return on Schedule
The strike will not affect the pas
senger bookings or the taking of
freight on vessels now in this or other
American ports, but it will practically
tie up all east and west bound schcd-
ulcs Of these vessels after they have
arrived in home ports Of Great Brit
ain.
Because of coal shortage, the de-
parture of the Berengaria (Imperator)
from Southampton for New York was
recently cancelled. The Cunarder Maui
retania, which probably arrived in
Southampton from New York yesterday,
may be deserted by her crew and her
return to New York postponed. The
Cunarder Aquitania, now on the Allan
tic bound to Cherbourg and Southamp-
ton, is subject to the same difficulty
The Cunarder Caronia, also in the New
York service, is at Liverpool. The
Carmanla, in the Liverpool service, is
now in this port and will depart on
schedule.
Ships of Other Lines
The eastward schedules of the CO.
lumbia, of the Anchor Line, bound here
from Glasgow, and the Cunarder Sax
onia, due from Liverpool, will not be
affected, as the crews are pledged to
stand by until the vessels return to
their home ports.
Among the ships of the international
Mercantile Company that are in the
transatlantic service are the White
Star liners Olympic and Cedric, now in
this port, and the Cedric and Adriatic,
now in home ports. The Megantic,
which is returning from a West In
dian cruise, is due to leave New York
April 81.
The Red Star liner Lapland sailed
from Antwerp for Cherbourg on April
II and was scheduled to stop at South
ampton. 1t was not known last night
If she had left the latter port for New
York
On the large trans Atlantic liners the
crews which have union affiliations
vary from 900 to LOO men. The crews
of the smaller vessels range from 300
to 450.
The steamship officials in this city
rear no tle-up in this port, but if the
strike continues they assume that the
transatlantic travel on British steam
ships will be paralyzed completely.

should not commit yourself to what is
equivalent to direct action by seeking
to overawe Parliament into revers-
ing legislative decision by the threat
of paralyzing the whole life of the

Thomas Refuses to Yield
Mr. Thomas, in reply, said:
Il regret nothing has been said by
you this morning which would enable
us to feel the decision we have taken
is q wrong one. l agree that just as
you have the right to say to us, You

to say to you: You must not starve
us Soth ought to have a settlement
%hich would avoid either side starv-
ing the other 1t is in this spirit we
approached the question. 1t is in that
spirit we shall continue"
The Prime Minister terminated the
interview by repeating:
The question Of resumption Of con-
political one. 1t must be decided by
political methods, and not by strikes"
When questions in connection with
the industrial crisis were passed by
in the House of Commons in the after
noon the Prime Minister said he be-
lieved a discussion of the subject
would be prejudicial to a settlement.
The Opposition leaders, former Pre-
mier Asquith, for the Liberals, and
John B. Clynes, for the Parliamentary
Labor party, concurred in this view.

strike is. that of the British seamen

30 per cent. The reduction, however,
will not be effective pending a meet
ing on April p of the ship owners and
representatives of the Firemen's and
Sailors Union, to which the seamen
and stewards belong. At this meeting
the whole question will be discussed.
Seamen Not Anxious to Strike
Meanwhile the union is balloting on
the issue of joining in the general
stoppage of work Tomorrow While
ing a strike is evenly divided, the ref
erendum shows 1000 against the strike
with IS per cent of the vote in. The
result of the balloting, however, will
not be obtainable until tomorrow.
1t was stated at the headquarters Of
the Firemen and Sailors Union to-
day that even if the present ballot
should result in refusal to participate
in the strike of the Triple Alliance the
seamen would not submit to the 80 pei
cent reduction. While it is hoped the
issue can be settled by negotiation E
strike of the seamen and stewards
with consequent paralysis Of transat

Jusserand Criticized
AS Lacking Initiative
Delay in Receiving Information
on Message Causes Com
ment i'm Paris

PARlS, April 1.-THE text Of Presi-
dent Hardng's message had not yet
reached Paris this morning, and the
newspapers based their comment on
extracts thus far received. Some OF
the commentators, notably those OF
L'flommc Libre and the Gaulois, criti-
cl7ed the lack of information possessed
by France on the state of affairs in
Washington. The Cablegramme, new
daily representing important business
interests, said:
"M Jusserand was not kept informed
as to what was going on at the White
House and in the Hobbies of the Sen
ate. Under the pretext of not wanting
to offend American opinion, he has dis
ccuraged all initiative to promote our
interests, and has left us recently in
prodigous ignorance of things over
there. 1t pains us that we must speak
thus of such a man as M. Jusserand,
but we are at point where successes
in the past cannot compensate for
failures in the present"
