Ccrtai{ Cfcsrtes Me By Dr. lei He Charges as False. ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE b the 1Knm ,4 V*ed by Members of Board of Trustees In THE LAZY BUG SAID TO BE MOST SERIOUS IN FECTIOUS DISEASE. The Doctors Discuss It, . and Dr. Stiles Says It Threatens the South as None Other. "The most serious Infections dis ease in the $outh today is (hat of the hookworm,” deciared Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles of the United State.’ public health service in addressing ng Complaint Filed With Committee, Re!atiTeK he halTonal conference called %»'AAdrrt>f Clemson College. Replylar Ja Dr. Meli, whoee let-, ter as to Clemson codnltions was pnblished a few day* ago, Dr. Coke D. Mann has issued a statement, In flrhlch he characterised certain ch&rg- '~ea-as-‘’absolutely false and without, foundation." In general the state ment carries quite a criticism of Dr. Mali's actions as president of the college. Dr. Mann, who is fc member of the Clemson board of trustees, say* In his statement: "I had thought that the eontro- ▼ersy between Dr. Mell and myself .had ended, but I saw in the Charles ton News and Courier of the 17th instant that I was mistaken. He has s number of charges against me, all of which are absolutely un true. As his first charge he says: •Wihlle I was in controversy with * the last commindant in the matter of who should discharge the duties of the president's office, the Rev. C. D. Mann, a member of the board of 'trmrt®® 8 * published an article in the newspapers condemning me In my efforts to control the officers of the * college, and yet he had not avail •d himself of the opportunity to In form himself concerning my side of * the matter under consideration.’ He says further down that I had disqualified myself from sitting at a subsequent meeting of the board -•f trustees. He calls It a Jury. The public knows what he roes is. Again ' he says: 'He took part In the dis cussion, which occurrad In the board, and cast his vote against me In the final action of the trustees.' What disqualified me with the Doc tor? Specify. Was It for stating facts which I tried to get him or some one else to come and deny? I made the> broad challenge that If any man would deny It I would prove It, and he did not see bis way clear to dispute- It. Then why did he not come out like a man and not ^ wait like a dirty eur until he had Mft the State? I call the attenTIdh of the. public to this fact. Cspt. Minus had already resigned as coin land ant and Dr. Mell waa trying to put the whole blame on him, and I knew It was untrue. Therefore I earn* to hie rescue and have noth ing to regret or take back." "Let me say right here that Dr. Mell has his first time ever to deny one of Capt. Minus’ charges before the board of trustees. He gsve m to understand that ha waa supreme Forgetting that the other man waa in authority In his department and had rights to be observed and spected, not by sks, bnt SOME HOT STUFF Democratic Congressman Files Sensation al Charges Abont USE OF PUBLIC MONEY of this disease at Atlanta Tueaday morning. While specimens of tlnr hookworm, hare been found In ttm New England States, the Middle West and In the Northern Pacific States, the disease primarily Is one of warm climates and Is generallv prevalent in the South Atlant+e and Gulf States. On the negro Is placed the responsibility for the presenfc" of the disease in the United States. Dr. Stiles said that the hookworm found here has been traced to the west coast of Africa, "and It un doubtedly wag brought here by the netgro." In this Connection Dr. Stiles called attention to the fact that while the negro had given to the whites the hookworm, tuberculosis had been presented to the negro by the whites and today the death rate from consumption among the • m>- gres of the South Is three times the toll of the disease among the whites. Twenty-five per cent of the cot ton mill employes of the South are infected wfth the hookworm, said Dr. Stiles, who based the statement on personal visits made to 28 mills in North and South Carolina, Oeor gla. Florida, Alabama and Mlssissip pi. The mills In the sand sections of these States show much higher percentage of infection than do tnose of the Piedmont or clay sections. In the mills of Atlanta the infection was found to be less than five per Cent. In some of the rural communi ties of the South, where there is an absolute lack of sanitary conditions. 90 per cent of the inhabitants are Infected. Dr. H. F. Harris, of Atlanta, to whom Dr. Stiles referred as the first man to recognize the hookworm In the United States, was chosen chair man of the conference. At the af ternoon session Dr. Harris discussed the treatment of the disease. IO declared It to be most susceptible to treatment. Dr, George Dock of Tulane uni versity described the symptomology of the disease and a paper on "The Pathology of Uncinariasis" was read by Dr. Newton Evans of Nashville, Teirn. "Btceeaive Waste of Ameri can Life," was the subject of an Interesting address by F. F. Rltten- house of New York, president of the Provident Savings Life Assurance s>< clety. At night Dr. Stiles delivered a stereoptican lecture, depicting the sanitary conditions at the cotton mills and other plac Mora than " i^aoa In Brooklyn Hitchcock Declares to House Com mittee That 1'uimIA af the Interior Department Were Improperly Used ~ In Paying Prlmtc Trnrctlinu Kv- pense# tyf‘■Ballinger's Nephew, : Somewhat waning Inferost In TIv Investigation of the so-called Ii.il- liUger-PInchot controversy .was quickly revived In congress Moinias by seiisaf io-nal chiU-gw* Sec retary BaHinge]*, of the interior de partment, and other oilb iais, • fi by Representative Hitcheo'k, (Inin ocrat), of Nebraska, with the < m mitteo on expendittirs in lie* int- ri or department, and incidentally by the senate's adoption of the investi gation resolution agreed upon in con ference.
