telephone conversation earlier in
which Denby communicated his de-

The President, just after noon sent
his personal secretary, Theodore
Clark, to Denby's office and 1T was
believed Clark carried Mr.. Cool

DENLY at that time was at his home,
where he went about 1890, after re-

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt was
to see the President at 1880 ard said
he might make Il statement after

Denby's decision to quit came .jdst
as his friends were beglnning a
campaign here to "clear his name -
from the criticism attached to him
over the oil leases.

Smith and George l.. Garfield,

DR.. IRVINE, EYE SPECIALIST, ~
SAYS COMPARATIVELY LITTLE
GENUINE TRACOMA IN VALLEY

DR.. A. Ray Irvine, eve specialist
sent to Imperial Valley by the state
Board of Health, to investigate so
called tr"choma condition here re-
turned yesterday to Los Angeles
after a month spent in exhaustive
study of the situation.
DIR. Irvine, who has had Is years
experience in treatoing the eyes, and
is It specialist of high standing in
Los Angeles, expressed the belief
that the trachoma scare has been
greatly exaggerated here and that
many of the eases believed to he
trachoma are in reality folliculosis.
a painful but not necessarily serious
disease of the eve.
DIR. Irvine confined his oncra-
tioms to the various cities Of the
valley, examining hundreds Of
school children during his ata% here
and many adult suspects.
His statement in regard to val
ley conditions follows:
"Thc epidemic of chronic eve
disease in this valley mostly oc,
curs in the rural districts. The Ell
ties of Calipatria, Brawley and Ca
leXico are comparatively free from
any disease like trachoma.
In Holtville, FL Centre anl I'M
perial there seems 20 be more gran
ulatcd lid condition than in the
other cities mentioned The Great
majority of these affected cases
are improving under medical treat
ment, which should be of 4 mild,
cleansing nature, and not severe.
"How many of these cases under
treatment will not clear up cannot
be determined for a period of n few
weeks CIR even mor.hs. In the alb
sence Of chronic cases Of trachomr
or advanced eases, it is difficult
or well nigh impossible to differ
cntiatc between trachoma and folli-
culosis. 1t is the opinion that most
of the affection that we have
found in the cities is not Il real
trachoma. Time will definitely de-
termine this.
Careful Treatment necessary
"Tr&choma is not 4 disease re
curing an emergency operation. II
is also disease which we do not
expect to cure in any operation, al
though in one stage of the disease
operative measures are ishe best r@-
cogrized procedure. All operative
procedure must be supplemented by
careful treatment in order to affecs
cure.
SIN many other parts of the
country there have been epidemics
of chronic eve infection similar to
that which we have here, In some
Of these communities, the aftec-
tions have proved to be mostly
f0Iluculosis.
''There are undoubtedly some
trachoma cases III this valley and
careful observation and care of the
ewes is very necessary to take prop
er care of the condition found IN
The schools here.
