Editors Aid Plahs. The pmcram of the coming confer- ence, it was pointed out, was prepared with' the object of including subjects of practical value to the nev per editors and owners, and also to show the part the press can play in inter national relations, particularly be- tween the American republics. The program was prepared b: speclal committee of the governing board of the Pan-American Union, headed by the Ambassador of Argentina and in- cluding also the Ambassador of Bra- zil and the Ministers of Colombia, Costa Rica and Bolivia. Dr. L. §. Rowe, director general of the Pan- American Union, as chairman of the executive committee in charge of preparations for the congress, has been assisted by the heads of the lead- ing press associations of the Unlted States. The editors of a large num- ber of prominent newspapers through- out the country also have aided in the preparatory plans. The press and interrational rela- tlons, newspaper ethics, gathering and dissemination of new advertis- ing, newspaper organization, schools of journallsm, and the organization of a pan-American assoclation of jour- nalists will be discussed. In most instances the first presenta- tion of the subject will be by a promi- nent editor from one of the Latin- American countries, with speakers from the United tates and other countries following. At the closing ses- slon on Tuesday, April 18, resloutions presented by a speclal committee to be appointed will be acted on. City to Be Decorated. The business sessions, with the ex- ception of the closing one, will be held s, the afternoons being its to interesting place: and about Washington.

Stannard has arranged a rep- resentative pan-American program to be played at Potomac Park Wednes. day afternoon, when the visiting edi- tors and writers are to be entertained with an aerial demonstration in which many flyers in the service from near- by stations will participate.

So far as the New York stocky market is concerned, officials here have long ceased to try to unde nd the reasons for the rise or fall of stock In fact, they have begun to in that there is too much significance at- tached to action taken in Washington as it relates to financial markets. It is admitted that the Government has become more than ever a factor in American business and foreign trade, but on the other hand it is con- tended that what the Government does visible to ry that the Gov- ernment has some hidden plan Which might be sprung on an unsuspecting public nd thus upset market values is not given serious consideration here any mor Policies Slowly Developed. The policies of each administration, so far as business is concerned, have taken a long time in almost eve: case to be evolved. This means am- ple opportunity for business to adjust itself to change. There have been in recent weeks two or three things which have re flected a tendency on the part of the Government to look closely into the character of proposed mergers or to investigate alleged instances of te- straint of trade. The Interstate Com merce Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice all have played their part in examining these questions, but it can-, not he said that any fundamental change in policies is involved, as the Government has always insisted upon inquiring into possible violations of law. The fact that Government agencies are scrutinizing closely va rious mergers is not to be taken as meaning that all mergers are bahned. Conditions Believed Good. Fundamentally the Ml(lmlmn is not a bit different than it in other words, each own bottom. It is not believed here that the cautious attitude of the Wash- ington Government with respect to business combinations, has had any material effect on stock market opera- tions as a whole, and while Washing- to know much about the fluctuations of markets, the authorities here express the opinion that natural reactions are inevitable in the cases of those com- panies whose stocks have been over- estimated in value. Basically, Government officials feel that the economic condition of the country is unusually good. The fact that receipts from income taxes evep under the reduced rates were larger than anybody estimated is offered as conclusive evidence that the United States is in much better condition than has been generally supposed. While prosperity wili be more or less a political issue this year, and it important for both political parties to know the truth about economic condi- tions, the fact remains that the Ad- ministration here shows no signs of nervousness at all. Indeed, the con- servative members of the Administra- tion are emphatic in their statements that conditions are likely to better in the next few months because of the stimulus that has been given busin as a result of the lower rates of taxation. {Coyright. 1926.)

Although previously there have.been practice landings for demonstration purposes, the one made aboard the airplane currier, Lapgley, by Lieut. Comdr. Charles P.'Mason, furnished thrills for those aboard the vessel, and dis- played the ubility of sailors to handle an emergency on a moment'’s notice. Shortly after the plane took off from the Langley, according to the report, a push rod operating an ex- haust valve in the engine was carried \way, cutting out some of the cyl- inders and torcing the others to mis- fire. Observers aboard the ship saw the plane was in trouble and heard the sputtering from her engine as she headed back for the ship. There were 11 planes on deck pre- paring for flight. They extended from the iorward taking-off station to the after end of the arresting gear. All planes were about to take off, and all engines, except those of the leading planes, were running. There was only one thing to do under the circum- stances without jeopardizing the crip- pled plane, and that was to run the other planes forward. The crew, without instructions, leap- ed forward and moved these planes clear of the arresting gear in 2 min- utes and 30 seconds. Comdr. Mason headed for the landing deck, and just as the wheels touched the deck the engine died. Not a single scratch was received by the plane. cupied on the same site until it pur- chased the property at Ninth and P streets in May, 1924, was erected in 1883, The fire which sw the church property last July wi ition in which has suffered wge amounting 00 was caused to a fire in December, ame Incendiary who fire last July later confe: ing caused.

PARIS, April 3.—Having \\hn:e the Parisienne now wears the smoking jacket. The Easter fashion sensation of Paris is a new creation of the dress houses called a_“smoking.” It {8 di- rectly inspired by the masculine gar- ment called a_dinner jacket in Eng land, a tuxedo in England and a “smoking” in France. The “smokings” of smart Parisian women promise to be the most arresting apparel on view at the Easter parude ip the Champs-Elysees. The new jackets are worn with mannish waistcoats, short clinging skirts of contrasting color and close- fitting hats, and, occasionally, a mon- ocle is added. The effect is a fem- inine blend of Savile Row and the Rue de la_Paix. Coats are of rick pale-colored silks; vests are of finely plaited silke or linen, pearls take the place of the conventional black tie. The favorite model for daytime wear seems to be black or navy blue fabric with satin lapels. Sometimes ackets are made of black satin or velvet For afternoon wear “smokings” are fashioned of heavy ocade, exquisitely tailored and some- nes delicately embroidered. T are also seen at the thea worn_with costumes with pleated chiffon or crepe de chine Some of the dress houses smokings” of gold lace for evening wear. A large flower, worn on the left lapel is the invariable ac- companiment of the “smoking.” 35th Street Hill in Georgetown. and popular | REFUSAL OF LEAGUE BIDBEING PREPARED Note Will Claim No Useful Purpose Would Follow Par- ley on Reservations. Losing no time after pronouncing of President Coolidge's views on the subject, the State Department yester- day began preparation of a note formally declining the League of Na- tions' invitation for American partici- ion in the Geneva conference which is to consider reservations to the World Court protocol. The note, which will go forward through the American legation at Berne, judged on the basis of definite views of President Coolidge and Sec- retary Kellogg, will point out that in the opinion of Washington authori- ties no useful purpose could be ac- complished by sending a delegation to Geneva, since it would be lacking in authority to discuss the reservations attached by the Senate. Furthermore, it is virtually cer- tain that the note will point out that the Senate department already is in direct negotiation with the 48 gov- ernments signatory to the court protocol and is satisfied to rely upon that method of getting the United ates into the court. Attention also will be invited to the Senate's expressed direction that the negotiations be conducted he- tween the Washington and the sig- ory governments, rather than through exchanges btween Washing- ton and Geneva. The decision to reject the Geneva offer was reached after Secretary Kellogg had conferred on the ques- | tion with President Coolidge and the two officials had found themselves in complete accord. = g Sl The Wise Doctor.

ORNELL DOGTORS FIND NEW DISEASE Fatal Malady, Affecting Birth, Believed Acquired by Humans From Goats. By the Associated Press. ALBANY, hitherto unrecognized in man and fatal in a large percentage of cases was described here today by Dr. V. A. Moore and Dr. C. M. Karpenter, both of Cornell University, before the The physicians did not give a name to the disease, althuogh they ldentifled it with Malta fever, sometimes brought to port by sailors. They de scribed it as an “undulant” fever in man associated with bacteria indis tinguishable from Brucella Abortus Brucella Abortus is the name of a bacillus which has been shown to cause a serious disease in cattle and goats, often causing the young to be born prematurely. r. Moore said the studies conducted at Ithaca had shown that apparently the same sm caused premature births by n mothers and not infrequently 1sed death, both with men and wom |en. In many vs the disease re- sembles fever, causing in testinal nces, nausea, high undulating fever, prostration and pain How widespread it is could not be determined as yet, he said, because its diagnosis was entirely new. He belleved it to be transmitted to humans through drinking raw cow’s milk, raw goat'’s milk, or dairy products made from infected milk. Says Goats Are Infected. He said that large hordes of Angora goats raised in Oklahoma he knew to be infected with the disease. The milk from these goats, he said, was ship- ped to New Orleans, manufactured 1nln cheese marked with foreign labels and sold as foreign cheese. This went all over the United States, he said, and might possibly carry infection. Dr. Moore said his investigations of the disease show that it has been prevalent among the cattle in the vicinity of Ithaca, causing consider able mortality and premature births of calves be the in hosts in a medical student who came ill. Later he identified bacillus in several women living the vicinity of Ithaca. Identification Is Verified. Dr. Karpenter verified the identi fication of the bacillus as being the same in appearance and activity in cattle and in men and women n whom it was found. The next step will be an attempt to develop anti-toxin with which to combat the disease. Dr. Moore said it was believed the disease was first introduced into this country by a boatload of Angora goats brought from the Island of Malta. The goats were milked on the way here and the crew consumed the milk. When the vessel arrived every member of the crew was suffering from the disease. ‘At that time it was termed Malta fever, but its re. currence in this country has rarely been noted and never before identified with the disease in animais.
