San Francisco, Nov. 9.—The question
of whether the American Federation of
Labor should go on record on prohibi-
tion is expected to be the main issue
at today’s session of the thirty-fifth
annual convention of the organization.
It will come up through a motion to
be introduced by the Milwaukee, Wis.,
delegates of brewery workers to oust
from the floors of future conventions
fraternal delegates of religious organ-
izations.
Fraternal delegates of religious or-
ganizations, including the federal coun-
cil of the church of Christ in Ameri-
ca, were seated at the opening session
yesterday by unanimous approval of the
report of the committee on credentials.
The Milwaukee brewery workers con-
tend that the religious organizations
are antagonistic to liquor production
and traffic.
How to Fight Tuberculosis
Dr. J. W. Carhart, of San Antonio,
Texas, says: “Since lime salts consti-
tute three-fourths of all the mineral
substances of the human body, they
must be supplied in the foods or sup-
plemented in mineral preparations, or
natural starvation ensues, with tuber-
culosis unchecked. The spread of tu-
berculosis and other preventable dis-
eases is due largely to decalcified (lime
lacking) conditions of multitudes
throughout the civilized world.”
Since lime is one of the ingredients
of Eckman’s Alterative, much of its
success doubtless is due to its com-
bination in such a way as to render
it easily assimilable.
Eckman’s Alterative has effected re-
markable results in tuberculosis, which
in many instances, apparently has yield-
ed to it, and since it contains no opiates
narcotics or habit-forming drugs, it is
safe to try.
Ask your druggist or send direct.

London, Nov. 9.—“Enlightened opin-
ion here is not uneasy over President
Wilson’s note,” says the London corre-
spondent,of the Manchester Guardian.
“The president’s attitude,” he contin-
ues, “is regarded as somewhat pedan-
tic, but not menacing. It is thought
he is trying to keep American rights
intact without a quarrel.
“The only danger foreseen here is of
a political kind. The presidential elec-
tion in the United States is drawing
near, and in presidential campaigns
everything is put into the melting pot.
There are big vested interests in Amer-
ica, notably the Chicago meat packers,
that are aggrieved by our practices.
“A series of diplomatic protests, un-
der the strain of a campaign in Amer-
ica, might easily become undesirably
exacerbated.”

Austin, Tex., Nov. 9.—Efforts of the
city and county officials at Galveston
to eliminate the illegitimate social
clubs are expected to bring results, ac-
cording to Comptroller Terrell, who to-
day returned from Galveston, where he
attended a joint meeting of the Retail
Liquor Dealers’ association and the
city and county officials. He expressed
himself as being highly gratified with
the resolutions adopted looking to the
banishment of these clubs. It was
shown that there are 93 more federal
liquor licenses than state licenses, and
out of that number about 15 are held
by bona fide social clubs, while the re-
mainder are presumbably used by the
illegal clubs.
Peace Negotiations With Organized
Ball to Be Taken Up.
By Associated Press.
Indianapolis, Nov. 9.—Directors and
owners of the Federal league held an
informal conference here today, at
which it was generally understood the
league leaders were determining the
course to pursue in the peace negotia-
tions with organized baseball. The
regular annual meeting was postponed
until afternoon.
“We will not go to French Lick nor
to Chicago,” asserted James A. Gil-
more, president of the league. “What
business we transact will be done here.”
Asked if the league would take a
stand for “war” or “peace” with or-
ganized ball, he would make no state-
ment.

Sanitary Code Should Deal With the
Problem.
• By Associated Press.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 9.—Dr. Isadora
Dyer, dean of the school of medicine
of Tulane university. New Orleans, dis-
cussing “The sex question in public
health” before the Southern Medical
association, predicted that public health
officials duties may expand to the point
of bringing sociological problems with-
in their powers
“Sanitary codes,” he said, “are broad
enough to include provisions for the
protection of property interests and
family rights, and this may carry far
enough to consider the individual of all
ages in all particulars of health ac-
tivities. Already the public health of-
fice has assumed the place of educating
the people in matters of food and hab-
its and conduct as they affect health.
Why should it be more dififcult to at-
tack the sex question through the same
means of disseminating knowledge? In
such manner parent, child and teacher
could be reached by a qualified au-
thority. Preventive medicine embraces
a broad field and there is no direction
in which more can be done than in sex
hygiene.”

From the office of Frank Merritt,
chief engineer of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe railway, it was an-
nounced this morning that a contract
for the grading work necessary for
the washed out portion of the Gulf and
Interstate railway, a Santa Fe prop-
erty, has been let, conditionally. Mr.
Merritt stated that the successful bid-
der on the work has been selected and
has been notified in order that the con-
tracting firm may hold itself in readi-
ness to begin work as soon as possible
after authority for such work has
been given.
Between Port Bolivar and High
Island the Galveston-Beaumont line
was washed out during the August
coast storm and when service
was reestablished on the G. and L, it
was only between Beaumont and High
Island. Mr. Merritt said today that
the results of making preliminary lines
and running- levels will be received at
his office within a few days. The
presence of multitudes of mosquitoes
along the line of the proposed recon-
struction has been delaying the pre-
liminary work. As previously an-
nounced, the part of the road to be
reconstructed will be built along a
higher portion of Polivar peninsula
than was the original right of way on
the peninsula.
Chief Engineer Merritt preferred to
withhold the name of the successful
bidder on the grading work pending
the giving of actual authority by the
Santa Fe Management for the work to
proceed.

Commissioner Hartel of the county
board reported to that body this morn-
ing the result of his call yesterday
upon the city commissioners which
was with a view of ascertaining when
the city officials would be ready to
join- with the county in signing a con-
tract for the supplying of sand for
filling back of the county boulevard,
bids having already been o'pened and
the contractors pressing the county
commissioners for a decision. He
stated that in substance the city com-
missioners had informed him that be-
cause of lack of money- to pay for the
work, the city would not be able to
join the county in obtaining the de-
sired sand for at least four months,
until a bond issue shall have been
voted upon and the bonds placed on
the market.
In reply to a question, County Engi-
neer Sias stated that the approximate
quantity of sand needed by the county
was 80,000 cubic yards and the city’s
requirement would be about 170,000
cubic yards. He further stated that
he did not think the county could se-
cure as good figures on the 80,000
cubic yards as could be obtained for
the larger quantity represented by the
needs of both city and county. He was
instructed to ascertain if the proposed
contractors would undertake to furnish
the county’s requirements at the fig-
ures bid for the entire amount.
Judge Mann stated that he consid-
ered the work so imperative that the
county would proceed independent of
the city if the latter was inclined to
hold back; in this he was endorsed by

shall ever be required to work or be
hired for more than one year.” The
desire was expressed among the mem-
bers of the board that the county mis-
demeanor prisoners should be put to
some use, but so long as the law al-
lowed the convicts one dollar a day
for lying in jail, it could not be ex-
pected that they would be willing to
work on the county roads or anywhere
else for half that sum.
A communication from Walter
Gresham, attorney for the Galveston &
Western railway, was read, asking that
the amount paid by that company on
a tax judgment to the county, be made
to apply to the settlement of taxes due
on a specific piece of real estate rath-
er than the entire holdings of the com-
pany; Commissioner Hartel desired to
look further into the matter, and the
communication was referred to him as
chairman of the finance committee, and
the county attorney for investigation.
A balance of $998.85 due State and
County Tax Assessor F. McC. Nichols
was ordered paid, and a bill of H.
Kempner for $103.66 for forwarding
interest on coupons to New York was
referred to chairman of finance com-
mittee for investigation.
J. S. Scott, justice of precinct 6, filed
his quarterly report, showing collection

These were received and referred to

after which the board adjourned.

Firing of Shot Results in Visit by
Police.
Considerable excitement was occa-
sioned about 7 o’clock last evening
when police headquarters received a
report that a shot had been fired
through a window at 2510 Avenue Q
and that a child had been shot. Of-
ficers hastened to the scene and dis-
covered that, while no one had been
hurt, a shot had really been fired into
a house occupied by negroes at 2510
Avenue Q, in the rear. A child’s
screams led to the report that one had
been shot, but it was ascertained that
no one had been hurt. The police
said they learned that a negro man
had had some trouble and had subset
quently fired the shot. 1 1
