CRIME CARNIVAL
IN MISSISSIPPI
Over Five Hundred Murders
in Eight Months.
NEGRO HAS TOO MUCH MONEY
High Wages Responsible for Gambling
Whisky, and Consequent
Lawbreaking.

MERIDIAN. Miss, Sept S.-Crime and
murder have held sway in Mississippi
this year.
For eight months ending September l
there were $50 known murders commit
ted in the State. chiefly among the lower
classes and negroes.
So common has murder become in al
most every county that law and order
organizations are being formed Cir
cult Judges in Mississippi have awak-
ened TO the situation and are denOunc-
ing the lax conditions.
Carnival of Crime.
In a charge to the grand jury. Judge
d. n. Miller said:
There has been a carnival of crime
through Mississippi this year. l took
occasion to keep account OF the muir
ders in Mississippi from January / TO
April -, and 200 men were killed an that
time. and the ratio has increased since.
I'm murders Mississippi leads the
other States, regardless Of population.
No PEOPLE can prosper with TINS car
nival or crime continuing
Judge Miller assigned as a cause for
this large number OF murders the fact
that the people. who are receiving
higher wages. have spent too much
money IN gambling and whisky.
The value of negro labor has never
been so high, said Judge Miller, and
the negro feels. because ne knows his
boss will protect him. that he can Kill
another negro without fear of punish

beginning at 1870 p. m, and
admission will be free.
The children have shown a
keen appreciation Cf the ne
cessity for practicing hard
for the events, and the in
centive to regular exercise
offered by the hopes of win
ming honOrs and prizes at the
meet has done much to aid
the discipline on the different
grounds. II has been COM
paratively easy to induce the
larger boys to keep off the
streets and have their fun
and exercise in the places
se-- for that purpose.
Labor Day. with its numer-
Gus games. diverted public
/ attention somewhat from the
Fairgrounds sports. but this
week those in charge of the
meet have put in some extra
, ticks and will keep up the
good work until all is over.

To Reject Impure Articles.

Dr. Wiley explained that an effort Will
be made 10 reject anything which is OBJ
viously impure o. adulterated. and par
ticularly to exclude articles with bad
preservatives or coloring matter. White
wine is tested TO see if II contains sui
phurous acid. which Is used as a pre-
sentative In red wine the tests are
for salicyIic or benzoic acid. In saus-
ages the chemists look for bOric acid,
starch and artificial coloring. Jams and
jellies are rejected II they are found 20
contain glucose and artificial colors.
Another special object Of the labora-
tory will be TO determine whether goods
are improperly labeled with the inten-
ton of palming off inferior articles as
those that command better prices In
the examination OF wines an effort VIII
be made 10 determine the country Of
their origin. as many grades shipped
here from France are actually made IN
Italy and Spain: the French label gives
an additional market value.
The Washington times., 1904-09-08
Work Not Novel.

I'VE are not undertaking a new work"
said Mr. Wiley. We are going TO pro-
coed upon the same lines as before.
Hitherto there have been delays through
sending to Washington. and in extreme
" hot or cold weather there was al
ways a chance Of deterioration Of goods
lying unprotected In the storehouses.
Expedition now will avoid this. The
greater part OF the food invoices com
ply with the law and are passed, as
shippers realize that IL Is useless to at
tempt TO send US Impure food.
DR. Wiley was questioned regarding
statements recently attributed 10 him TO
the effect that there IS no genuine
Scotch whisky In this country. He said
that this was putting * too strong.
The Government records, however, show
that only about six hundred thousand
gallons OF Scotch whisky We're imported
last year. and Judging by what he has
seen OF the way Scotch whisky is order
ed in hotels and clubs. ne does not be-
lieve that six hundred thousand gallons
would by any means meet the demand.
