Wheeler, chief In charge of the United States pellagra hospital here, tonight said that the United States commission at Spartanburg Is In no way responsible for the findings of the Postgraduate Medical School of New York relative to pellagra as announc? ed in Associated Press dispatches Sun. day. The New York statement said that the conclusion reached?that pel? lagra Tas due to luck of sewerage fa cilltles, and was certainly communl cable-r-was based upon Investigations conducted here. Dr. Wheeler says that no such re? port has been made from his office hers. The Spartanburg hospital has put to a thorough test the theory that pellagra Is a communicable disease and the results have been absolutely negative. The United States service announces | in addition that similar experiments were conducted in Colombia, in Wash* tngton, In Ntw Orleans; that every known effort was made to Inoculate healthy people (18 volunteers), and that in each case the effort was a failure.

To all these argu? ments the Americans firmly replied that there m&st bo no limitatiens. The article providing for tho mili? tary control of tho border was con? densed from elaborate and Intricate plans whoso consideration has taken much of the time of the commission. Tho Mexicans have been Insistent that there should be defined a neutral to ne? in which the armies of the two gov ernments might operate but since con? sideration of that point invariably brought tho commissioners back to tho question of limited pursuit it was definitely rejected by the Americans i{ss was the suggestion for coopera? tion in which American troops mlKht And themselves comanded by Mexi? can officers.

THE COTTON OimATOfgfc i What The Wall Street Jouraal itytn** About It. Wall Street Journal. \ . If the Census Bureau figures Of .amount of cotton ginned between No? vember 1 and/ November 14 ard ^isP markable for anything, it Hi dissipation of hopes based on i figures. The figures for the^tl rlod showed almoat twice cotton ginned as at the ing period of 1014, when the; crop in our history was By shutting their eyes to crop ! ttons, it was easy for tome out an enormous crop, promises were not made ?The glnnlngs for the ware 75 per cent, larger I in the second period ' were only 10 per cent third report seemed like calling a 1 gart's bluff, for the glnninga were 24 per cent, smaller than for the ?d^rre sponding porlod of 1914. At the next report they dwindled to 34 per sent, less , and this decrease has been some what enlarged in the latest return. Prom 75 per cent, increase to more than 34 per cent, decrease?^-what a falling off! The crop is made, and perhaps 90 per cent, picked. For price purposes it makes little matter just what per? centage is unpicked, for the crap hi demonstrably short. The total amount ginned up to November 14 is 9,416,833 bales. Consumption in the United States is running at rate of 7,000,000 bales a yoar. Probably 2,360,000 bales have been exported since August 1. Practically the entire ginnlnge are thus far marked for consumption, and eight months of exports yet to be provided for. It is not present supply, but future prospects that create a delicate sit? uation. There is sufficient cotton to? day, but what of the supply before another crop comes on the market The future outlook is bullish. Yet there Is danger of that very bullish? ness creating a dangerous situation. TO ERECT WIRELESS PLANT. Rig Receiving Station for Charleston.
