Grace Seizes Organization Hyde Faction May Appeal to Court, However Charleston, May 5.?The city Demo cratic convention was held today, with good order prevailing. A Grace vote of 160 against 133 for the Hyde fac tion carried all elections, under pro test, however, from the Hyde laction, the protests on all votes taken being filed by Arthur R. Young as spokes man foe the Hyde following. It is probable that court proceedings w.ll be filed by the Hyde factions, seeking to have the convention held today de clared illegal. The convention did not adjourn, but receded to meet again upon call, as provided by the rules of the party. A. Marion Stone, a Grace man, was elected president of the convention, ?both temporary and permanent, and W. Turner Logan was elected chair man of the new executive committee, with H. F. Barkerding vice chain.>an, this office being created by amend ment to the constitution. The date of the jSrinmary was fixed for August 12. Resolutions were unanimously passed, mdorsing President Wilson's course during the war and at the peace con ference, and other resolutions were likewise unanimously passed favoring an eight hour day for labor and dou ble pay for overtime. The constitu tion and rules were not much altered from the preceding ones. Arrange-, ments were' made for candidates to! speak in school auditoriums, if this could be done, otherwise in halls, j The privacy of balloting at club meet-, ings was provided for. Provision was! made for enlisted men to cast their ballots in primary elections. Majority and minority reports were submitted by the committee of creden tials and the committee on constitu tion and rules, the Grace faction in each case carrying by vote the ma jority reports, which as to one sus tained the action of the executive com mitee on protests and other other, points, and as to the other adopted the report of the majority in the commit tee on constitution and rules. Frank R. Frost, who opened the meeting as executive committee chair man, was given unanimous thanks for his services, when he retired in favor of A. Marion Stone, temporary presi dent. C. M. Brinker was elected vice president, W. F. Knapaux, secretary, and N. Sottile, treasurer. Hyde candi dates for these offices were. H. E. Raines, A. J. Moorer, L. M. Shimel and A. T. Smythe. W. Turner Logan, elected city chairman, was opposed by J. R. Owens, Jr. At 2 o'clock the convention had just arrived at the point of appointing a credentials committee, temporary offi ,cers being elected a few minutes be fore. There was only one vote by roll call taken, that, on the election of temporary president, and this was rechecked, showing a voting strength of Grace faction 160, Hyde faction 133, according to the prima facie roll reported to the convention by the ex ecutive committee. , Mr. Young then filed a protest, tak ing the ground that only un contested delegates should vote. Voting there after was admitted on the basis of 160 to 133, so far as totals were concerned, and after each vote a protest was filed by Mr. Young, excepting where unani mous procedure occurred. The conven tion receded about 4.15 o'clock. Limbs for Greeks Red Cross Establishes Artificial Limb Factory at Athens Athens, March 29 (Correspondence of The Associated Press)?The Bal kan Commission of the American Red Cross has brought to Athens an Amer ican superintendent and assistant with supphe? in the rough for making artificial limbs and are instructing Greek workmen in the- art. The American workmen have taken temporary charge of the school for the mutilated of the Greek army until a Greek superintendent and Greek workmen can be trained to take over the plant. The artificial legs will be fitted and given to Greek soldiers. It he* he intention of the Greek govern ment to see that every soldier who needs one is provided with an Amer ican artificial leg. An artificial limb weighing only four pounds are now being supplied to hun dreds of mutilated soldiers who form erly had crude peg legs and cumber some twenty pound artificial limbs of another pattern. The joy of these men at being able ence more to ?r eve around easily is daily expresses in the Arr.eri^itn Red Cross workshops by dancing about on their new limbs with expressions o? gratitude which, )f it w?-re not sc pitiful, would dj amus ing. As a corollary part of this work, the American Red Cross also is support ing a school for the reeducation of the mutilated. At this school the dis abled are being taught useful trades ct all kinds including tailoring, shoe making, carpentering, metal working, basketry, and stenography and typing For this latter work, a large number of American typewriters with Greek characters are needed.

Some time afterward the busts were restored to their places but recently the Ministry of Educa tion has ordered them down again. There was also a proposal to change the names of all streets in Germany named in honor of royalties. This has been met by the press with some hilarity and sugestions that there were more important topics for dis cussion just now than that of the names of the streets. Rate Question in Court Railroad and Telephone Cases Up For Judicial Decision Washing.on. May 5.?Authority of the director general of railroads and the postmaster general to increase in tra-state railroad, telegraph and tele phone rates throughout the country was argued today in the supre:.ie court in connection with appeals fr jm proceedings originating in a number of States. . Hearings on the railroad case was finished today but argu ments in the wire rate cases will not be concluded until tomorrow. The appeal in the railroad case came from North Dakota while the telegraph and telephone rate cases arose from aroceedings in South Da kota, Kansas, Massachusetts and Il linois. Briefs as amici curiae were filed in the.two cases on behalf of the Nation al Association of Railroad and Public Utilities commissioners representing about 35 States and separately by the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin, the city of Detroit and the Protective Telephone Association of Baltimore. The proceedings attracted wide at- | tention and attorney generals from many States were in the court room. J Arguments for the railroad adminis istration were made in the railroad case by John Barton Payne and Charles Donnelly while Frank E. Packard of Bismarck, N. D., and W. V. Tanner of Olympia. Wash., former attorney general of Washington, ap peared for the North Dakota authori ties. In the telephone cases arguments were opened by Socilitor General King, who was followed by W. H. Hitchcock of Boston, assistant attorn ey general of Massachusetts. Arguments in both cases today cen tered principally on the contention of the States that the government's ac tion in fixing intrastate rates was an interference with the State police powers. Solicitor General King and Mr. Payne denied this contention but asserted that Section 10 of the rail road control act. as well as the joint resolution by which the government took over 'supervision of the wires clearfly gave the president this au thority. The solicitor general argued that in increasing telephone and telegraph rates the postmaster general was act ing on behalf of the public as the cor porations which own the wires through government control had ceas ed to operate them, and acted solely as the government's agents. He ac cused the States bringing the pro ceedings with attempting to inter fere with government operations of these facilities and asked for the dis- j missal of the wire cases on the ground J that they were suits brought against! the government without its consent. 1 "If the government did not fix the rates, who would?" asked Justice Mc Reynolds during the course of Solici tor General King's argument. "I suppose thm States would," th" solicitor general replied. "Well, if the States fix the rates so that there should be a loss who would pay it?" the justice asked. "The government would." Mr. King j replied. "That's what I have been trying to find out." Justice McReynolds said. Mr. Hitchcock argued that the po lice powers provided for in the wire resolution applied to the States in a broad sense as congress intended to ' include the right of the States to regu ! late intrastate rates. He accused the l postmaster general of exceeding his powers in interfering with telephone 'rates and with unlawfully invading the I State powers. The Massachusetts at torney denied that the States were at tempting to interfere with the gov ernment's operations of the telephone system.

The alleged French incursions were reported to the Ger man staff by subordinate officers, von Jagow says, and the staff com municated the information to the gov ernment without attempting to ascer tain the facts. The former foreign minister asserts that before the war he was convinced of the necessity of an accord with Great Britain and expresses regret that Germany unfavorably received offers of an alliance made in 1S90. When the Austro-Hungarian am bassador in Berlin communicated to him the text of the ultimatum to Serbia, von Jagow says he thought its terms were too rigorous. He declares he expressed some astonishment that Berlin I ad not been informed earlier of the s*eps taken at Vienna Theodore Wolff, in The Tageblatt, commenting von Jagow's version of the interview he had with the Aus trian ambassador, concerning the ul timatum to Serbia, says that, after reading it. he is more at loss than ever to understand why the proposal made by Sir Edward Grey to call a conference of ambassadors to exa tine the conditions to be enforced on ,or bia was rejected so categorically ry Germany. Modern Health Crusade Three Million School Children Enlisted in Movement New York. May 5.?With, their lives pledged to the pursuit of good health, more than 3,000,000 school children throughout America have been en rolled in the Modern Health Crusade, a disease-prevention movement which is being developed in the public schools of the country under the aus pices of the National Tuberculosis As sociation and the Junior Red Cross, it was announced today by Charles M. DeForest, crusader executive at the former organization's headquar ters here. "There are new crusaders in every State in the union," Mr. DeForest said. "The health creed of the cru sade has become a part of the school program in thousands of schools, both rural and urban. It has also caused innovations in the curricula of paro I chial and private schools." I ' Among the larger cities where the ' movement has been adopted in all or part of the elementary schools, he said, are Baltimore, Birmingham. Cleveland, pallas, Indianapolis. Kan sas City, Minneapolis, , Newark. New Orleans. New York, Philadelphia, Providence. Portland (Ore), Seattle and Washington, D. C. While primar ily intended for elementary grades the crusade has been taken up by a num ber of high schools and in some State the system is being taught also to student teachers in normal schools. Enlistment in the movement in jvolves something like passing a phy sical examination, as the recruit must for at least two weeks follow a dail> health program. The child who lives up to 75 per cent of the crusader's health rules for two, live, ten and fifteen weeks becomes successively a page, squire, knight and knight ban neret in health chivalry. In health tournaments participated in by whole classes and schools the crusaders go "a' jousting for germs." The health "chores." performance ? of which each child is put on his hon or to record on a special card over his own signature, are as follows: "1 washed my hands before each meal today; I washed not only my fact but my ears and neck and I cleaned my finger nails today; I tried today to keep fingers, pencils and everything that might be unclean out of mj mouth and nose; T drank a glass of water before each meal and before going to bed, and drank no tea, coffer or other injurious drinks today: 1 brushed my teeth thoroughly in the morning- and in the evening today; I took ten or more slow deep breaths of fresh air today: I played outdoors, or with windows open, more than thirty minutes today; I was in bed ten hours or more last night and kept my win dows open: I tried today to sit up and stand up straight, to eat slowly, and to attend to toilet and each need of my body at its regular time: I tried today to keep neat and cheerful con stantly and to be helpful to others: 1 took a full bath on each day of the week that is checked." The success of the movement, ac-1 cording tc is leaders, is due to the in terest > health aroused in the chil dren ay introducing the elements of { nl: and romance in the practice of j hygiene, and by definite program with tangible rewards. So eagerly have the children in certain sections of the country taken to the daily "chore" idea that a toothbrush shortage is re-' ported in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa and Oklahoma. Growth of the movement is indicat ed by membership figures from States I leading in the crusade movement, as follows: Texas. 3,10.000: Minnesota.! [250.000; Iowa. 220,000: Oklahoma.! 175.000: Oregon. 55.000: Tdaho. 24.-1 557: l*t;ih. 32.000: Kansas. 100,000: Arkansas 28.000: Alabama, 56.000: i Wisconsin. ?'7.000; Pennsylvania. 150,000: Maryland.

The Health Crusade Movement is not confined to America alone; not withstanding the war the idea has' spread to foreign countries and enlist-j nients have been reported from China.! Corea. Canada. Cuba and France, Mr. j i >e Forest said. j The oat crop will be short this year. The acreage is less than last year and! the yield per acre will not be heavy. Cotton Market Advance Opens Steady at Net Decline of One to Eleven Points New York. May 5.?The cotton market was comparatively quiet to day. Fresh business was probably re stricted by the. fact that tomorrow will be a holiday in the American fu tures markets. It seemed also that scattering accounts had been pretty well evened up before the close last week, fluctuations were narrower for some time with further realizing ab sorbed by covering and trade buying. The general list closed steady at a net advance of 9 to 19 points. The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to 11 points and sold off slightly right after the call in response to somewhat disappointing Liverpool cables and a favorable weather map. Houses with Liverpool connections were good buyers here, however, while there was a consider able from domestic trade sources ac companied by reports of continued firmness in the goods market. This demand soon took care of the early offerings and active months sold some 1 a to 24 points net higher dur ing the early afternoon. The close was 10 or 12 points off from the best, under realizations. The trade seemed to be looking for a more favorable weekly report from the weather bureau on Wednesday, but the more optimistic view of new crop possibilities was modified to some extent by the report of a south ern authority indicating a reduction of 14.6 per cent, in acreage compared with the reports of between 11 and 12 per cent, published late last week.

M Greece's Debt to America Red Cros^ Accomplishes Great Good by Relief Work Xanthi. Greece. March 30 (Corre spondence of The Associated Press) ?Greece is indebted to the United States for many things, but she prob ably vv'ill remember longest the aid given by the American Red Cross to the 30.000 or more refugees who have been coming back from Bulgaria and Asia Minor over every road and moun tain ;pass. Unable through its own agencies to care for this immense number of of homeless and destitute people, the Greek government left the task to America's big relief organiza tion. King Alexander, Premier Vene zelos and the Greek government have already testified their gratitude for this assistance which was made pos sible through the generosity of the American people. Twenty-four hours after the sign ing of the armistice, the Red Cross established relief stations at every point in Bulgaria, Turkey and Mace donia over which these innocent vic tims of the war were likely to come. It dispatched trainload after trainload of supplies to the areas in which suf fering was known to be worst. The stream of refugees has not yet ceased, and the work of the Red Cross continues. There has been a serious development of typhus among the refugees quartered in- Kavalla, Drama and this city. Edward Walker, of Luray, Ya., a young officer in the American Red Cross, gave his life in fighting the dis ease. Three American nurses have also been stricken but are recover ing in Greek hospitals. Some of the experiences of the Americans in relieving the great mis ery among the refuv -s have been tragic. A woman Red Cross worker thus descrioes a typical day spent by Lieutenant Abner Cobb. of Denver, Colo., at his lonely Red Cross relief station at Xanthi: "With the assistance of two Greek boys he fed from 800 to 1,000 people, administered to the sick, and gave out rations of bread and soup and rice, and that day had been able to add 'bully beef to his rations, "There were 48 cars on the side tracks loaded to the limit, forty to sixty persons to the car. These refu gees carried with them in the cars their donkeys, pigs, chickens, sheep, goats and personal effects. From a few of the cars, cows poked their heads. In this environment one baby has been born. "Lieutenant .Cobb numb. u* cars when they come in and cou ..a te in mates, chalking their number up on the outside of the cars. Kis kitchen is on the tracks. He selects four per sons from each car to-come after the food, bringing with them their own receptacles. In that way they are cared for swiftly and without confus ion. After everything is served, he goes through the train to see that nc one has been overlooked. "On this train was the Governor o1 Zichni and his wife, both pitifulh wasted. He had been deported eight een months before to Bulgaria, to gether with 97 others from his town Thirty-seven of his party died of ill treatment in Bulgaria." The same observer, writing regarding a visit tc the American Red Cross station at Kavalla. says: "Today there are fewer than 10.000 inhabitants in Kavalla. When the Bulgars evacuated the town they loot ed it systematically, stripped the stores and banks, took all the food and swept the homes bare, taking not . onl\ all the furnishings but all the window glass, door and window fix tures, electric light wires, door knobs, etc. "In the Struma valley, noted for more than 2,000 years as the home of j a peculiarly deadly form of malarial fever, the road runs to Drama where the American Red Cross has another relief station. The plague is raging throughout the valley. There has been an unusual number of deaths as there is a lack not only of doctors but of medicines." German Sugar Famine Beet Sugar Factories Shut Down by Disorders Berlin. April 4.?The sugar famine from which Germany is now suffering is a mystery pe> lexing German housewives, as su owing to the teet-root industry, " ; been a com mon staple even during the war. Be cause of the sugar shortage, the na tion's supply of marmalade seems to be completely exhausted. Political and industrial disturbances are blamed for the restricted output of beet sugar. The factories have been shut down altogether or are running on short hours. Large Quantities of sugar are said to have disappeared mysteriously or to have been confiscated by local sol- j diiers and workmen's councils.

Adams and Chief Machinist's Mate Harold * Correy Meet Death New York, May 5?Ensign Hugh JF. Adams of Pittsburgh and Chief Machinist's Mate Harold Correy of Scranton, Pa., were instantly killed at the Rockaway Beach Navy air sta tion to-day when the machine in which they were flying dived into a big hydrogen, gas tank. The two men were crushed to death beneath the engine of the plane which crashed through the cockpit in which they were sitting. The flight, part of the regular daily I maneuvers at the air ^station had been j in progress only five minutes when the accident occurred. The machine, the HS 1. a small navy hydroplane, rose from the water and circled over the land at' a height of about 400 feet. When it was over the hydro gen tank the engine went dead and the plane started to nose dive. Ensign Adams attempted to right it but ht-d not sufficient altitude, and the ma chine crashed into the roof of the tank bursting through the steel stop. The tank which is part of the nayy balloon equipment was empty. Ensign Adams was one of the old est fliers in the navy and Correy, although he did not hold a licence, was rated as a pilot. Not Seeking Independence Porto Rico Not Prepared for Self-Government San Juan, Porto Rico. April 12 {Cor respondence of The Associated Press) ?That Porto Rico is not prepared for either statehood or independence was the opinion expressed by Senators Barbosa and Giorgetti in the course of a debate in the senate yesterday; Senator Barbosa said also that the is land is unprepared for immediate self government. The debate was opened by an invi tation of Senator Gorgetti to Senatoi* Barbosa to dissolve both political par ties in the island. "I invite Dr. Barbosa to dissolve the Republican party," said Senator Giorgetti. "and I will do all I can to dissolve the Unionist Party because we are wasting time. It must be under stood that both statehood and inde pendence are a long way off. Do you think we are prepared for either state 1 hood or independence," he asked. "We are not, replied Dr. Barbosa. "A country which has the number of illiterates Porto Rico has, whose masses are without means, of edufca ? tion and whose economic condition is 1 deplorable, is not prepared to be eith 1 er a republic or a State. We have ? to prepare our country and provide - the means for its being politically, eco ? nomically and educationally in a con dition to enjoy its sovereignty^.v^We.are f in the position today of a student of medicine who has had two years of ? his course, who is diligent and am ? bitious and who wants to graduate as ? soon as he can, but whose professor ? has to say, 'continue your studies, you ' are r.ot yet ready: when you get in 1 your fourth or fifth years your labor. : will be rewarded.' Gentlemen, you know perfectly well that we are not economically prepared to be either a State or a republic." "In this I agree with Dr. Barbosa," said Senator Giorgetti, "we' are not prepared economically for statehood or to be an independent republic." Senator Giorgetti asked Dr. Barbosa if he thought Porto Rico was prepar ed to govern itself. Dr. Barbosa re plied that at the present moment : it was not. because self-government signified government of and by the people and for the people, while to day it would result in government by a part of the people only, because without preparation the people would be governed by the fortunate few. Strike of Unemployed Idle Belgium Workmen Hold Demonstration Brussels, April 1.?During the Ger man occupation a \certain amount was doled out by the Comite National td the unemployed Belgians to keep from starvation and incidentally to prevent them from working for the Germans. Since the armistice it has been cominued because there is no I work available. Today a long parade formed near the Place Rogier and proceeded utf and down the most important boule vards.
