South Can Annih
ilate Malaria
St. Louis, April, 11. —At the
Malarial conference, Dr. W. A. Ev
ans, of Chicago, said malaria couH
he anihihilated in the south by
fighting mosquitoes, draining the
swamps educating the people to sleep
behind screens and distributing qui
nine to those who cannot buy it.
He said that a swift spectacular
campaign Would wipe out the dis
ease.
Dr. Evans said that the extinct
ion of the mosquito would add $lO
to the value of every acre of land in
the south, and under anti-malarial
conditions the total coin crop would
be doubled.
Dr. Evans said that in Illinois,
malaria has been practically elimi
uated, especially in Chicago. He
said that negroes brought from the
south on the Chicago drainage canal
infected mosquitoes with malaria,
and then it was necessary to take
measures to stamp out the disease.
“Thirty years ago,” he contin
ued, “Chicago, Brooklyn, and New
York eacbdiad more malaria than
any southern state has today. The
fight agrilist Malaria is nothing
new. India, China, and Italy have
had to handle the problem.”

Chattanooga, Tenn,, April 16 —
Some of the cities where confede
rate reunions have been field in the
past, experienced trouble in secur
ing a hall large enough to accomo
date in comfort the reunion ball,
the crowning event of the meeting.
Chattanooga has hit upon a novel
plan to meet the requirement. It
has been decided to cover something
less than an acre of ground In
Warner Park, the largest public
park in the city, with a tent, Hours
to he of smooth and substantial ma
teiial, the tent lighted by electric
ity, and give the reunion ball there.
This tent will accomodate thous
ands of people and lie perfect as a
dancing pavillion. No posts will in
terfere with the dancers. It will fie
a model pavillion, large enough to
meet every possible demand. The
entertainment committee feels that
this solution of the problem will he
appreciated by the visitors.
Warner Park is centrally located
and can be reached by trolley cars

New Tariff Will Not
Interrupt Business
President Wilson Says the Un
derwood Bill Meets General
Approval of Country.
Washington, April 1 I —President
Wilson believes the tariff bill meets
the general approval of the country;
that no healthy business will lie in
terrupted and that while in most
eases the cost of living will not be
immediately reduced, the consumer
will feel at once the benefit of a re
duction in the sugar duty.
These views were expressed today
by the President in an open talk
with newspaper men at the White
Utilise. lie explained that his
main reason for desiring a reduction
on sugar was that the consumer de
serves it.
The president declared that ar
rangements by which prices were
fixed could surely be made impossi
ble when a truly competitive situa
tion was created, and that the pub
lic would get the benefit, very
piomptly iu the case of sugar be
cause he knew competitive elements
were ready to contest.
Criticism, he said, had been re
ceived from some legitimate interests
contending that the cuts in their
eases were more than they could at
present stand.
Mr. Wilson said he did not see
any ruinous cuts in the bill. lie
referred to the fact that the mem
bers of the ways and mean comm
itee had heard every person in in
terest and that their judgements
wfere based on those hearings.
It was suggested to the president
that many Ohio Democrats in Con
gress felt that free wool would be
ruinous to the woolen industry.
Mr. Wilson said he had been trying
to inform himself as much as pos
sible on that subject but he did not
feel their . fears were justified by
facts. He remarked that he had
heard just the other day that the
price of wool was the same on both
sides of the water.
In connection with the sugar tar
iff the President was asked if lie
thought sugar factories both beet
and cane, could operate under free
sugar, lie said that lie certainly
thought they could remarking with
a smile that the factories might
shut down for effect for a time but
that they would open for business
later
The President said that lie hoped
to open reciprocity negotiations
with various countries as soon as
the tariff bill was passed.

home.
