LIFE MEN OWN GUILT.
Equitable Directors Admit Some Of
6cials Violated Law by Deals.

Equitable Directors Admit Some Of
ficials Violated Law by Deals.
Admitting that some of the officials
have been guilty of improper and illegal
acts, the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety has joined with the State of New
York in asking for a full investigation
In court of it's directors and officers, and
their alleged mismanagement Of the
money of the society.
The document containing the admission
and request was the reply filed by the
forty-nine directors Of the society TO the
suit brought against it by the State. 1t
was filed with Attorney General Mayer.
Thirteen charges are answered by the
directors. They admit the loan of $780,
900 to the Depew improvement Com
pany and $685., 900 to the Mercantile
Trust Company, but waive responsibility
as far as the board as a whole is con-
cerned, indicating that Messrs. Alexan-
der, Jordan and Deming had the most
definite knowledge of these transactions.
The charge that excessive salaries
were paid to officers of the Equitabl
is not directly answered, but admission
Is made that under guise of salaries ex-
cessive fees were given to certain Equit-
able officials who were also directors In
other companies. In defense the answer
states that these practices were not
known to the whole board of directors.
Outlining their belief as to the best
policy to pursue in fixing the blame for
the Equitable scandals, the directors say,
first, that the blame for alleged cases OF
misconduct will be found to rest on indi-
vidual officers, and not upon the dlrec-
tors as a body.

in life when woman's great change
may be expected.
These symptoms are all just so many
calls from nature for help. The nerves
are crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was prepared to meet the needs
of woman's system at this trying
period of her life. It invigorates and
strengthens the female organism and
builds up the weakened nervous system.
It has carried thousands of women
safely through this crisis.
For special advice regarding this i'm
portant period women are invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
and it will be furnished absolutely free
Of charge.
Read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Com
pound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs.

emperor Nicholas has spoken his last
WORD in reply to the japanese ultima
tum demanding $60O,OOO,0OO for half of
the island of Sakhalin His final pro-
posal is to cede a portion of the island
to Japan and to make liberal reimburse
ment for the care of Russian pris-
oners. He fatty refuses to pay a cent
Of tribute
The meeting of ENJOYS at Ports
mouth Saturday was adjourned until
Monday, and later until Tuesday. at
the request of Baron Komura.
Russia declares that she has met
Japan more than half way. and has
proved to the world the sincerity Of her
desire for peace, but that she would
rather fight than pay an indemnity. On
this point Russia has not changed her
opinion one hairs breadth.
RuSs1a'S final answer was commrnf-
Gated to Ambassador Meyer, who at
once informed the President. No stone
was left unturned and no effort was
spared in ST. Petersburg to secure a
settlement. President Roosevelt car
r1ed on his negotiations with Emperor
Nicholas with great energy and showed
himself to be rich in expedient. All
his communications with the Emperor
were made directly through the Ameri
can embassy, and Mr. Meyer conducted
the extremely difficult and delicate ne
gotiations with great tact and ability
and won the high esteem of the Rus
sian authorities for his careful and
skillful handling of these weighty mat
tiers and also received the warm COM
mendation Of his fellow members Of
the diplomatic corps.
Every single obstacle save one stand
Ing in the way Of the signing of a peace
treaty at Portsmouth was overcome. In
the matter Of financial contribution
Russia's answer was a firm and per-
sistent refusal, and there is excellent
authority for the statement that if the
Portsmouth negotiations fail it will be
solely on the question Of money.

MALADY Is CHECKED.
YELLOW FEVER SITUATION is
WELL IN HAND.
Expert Thinks Epidemic in New Or.
leans Will Steadily Decrease from
Now On = City Quarantines Against
Its Own and Surrounding States.

New Orleans, believing that she has
the yellow fever situation within her
borders we'll in control, to protect her
self will now quarantine against the
rest of the State, where the pest cpl
demic is extending to an alarming ex-
tent
That the fight in the city is well in
hand is shown by the statement of
DR.. John Guiteras, the yellow fever
expert, who has been watching devel-
opments and who says: Il now believe
he Marine Hospital Service has the
new Orleans fever situation under
control. believe the number Of cases
will grow less each day until by the
middle of September there will only
be sporadic cases of fever in New Or
leans. | am convinced the spread has
been checked and that the disease
will be stamped out before frost. The
most important thing right now is for
New Orleans to protect herself against
the importation Of fever cases from
the infected points in the State"
Mayor Behrman's office is over
whelmed with letters, many from
cranks, but others from we'll meaning
persons, who offer specifics against
yellow fever. Many of them are
germicides. The Mayors reply to
these communications is that the fever
is being fought on the principle that it
all no tpo NV Of
the mosquito.
A special train carried DR.. ]. H.
White, surgeon in charge; DR.. Ed
mond Souchon, president Of the State
Board; DR.. Beverley Warner and Col
onel Charles Janyier to Baton Rouge
for a conference with Governor
Blanchard. They stopped at the pest
holes Of infection at Sarpy, Reserve
and other points up the valley road.
They will begin this fight more active
ly at once. At Baton Rouge they ar
ranged with Governor Blanchard for
a drastic campaign in the State, where
the fever has obtained a foothold on
sugar plantations Detention camps
will be reversed Instead of OBTAINING
people who want to get out into the
State they will prevent people from
infected points from getting back to
New Orleans.
The worst nest thus far discovered
is that at Leeville, near the mouth of
Bayou Lafourche, where there are III
cases of yellow fever and over 200
cases Of dengue fever in d settlement
Of 400 people, and where num-
Der of deaths have occurred At
one time only one doctor was on
the scene and his difficulties were
increased by the fact that the set
tlement lies on two banks of a rath-
er wide stream. A new center Of in
lection was reported at Terre AUX
Boeufs, in st. Bernard Parish, where
five genuine and three suspicious cases
were found.
Mississippi City, Miss, reported
three new cases. Suspicious fever has
developed in other sections Of Missis-
sippi and Governor Vardaman is as
drastic in his measures to stop it as
he was to keep it out. Governor Var
daman wired the Foster Creek Lum-
Der Company at Dayton Miss, that
unless the State health officer was al
lowed to investigate suspicious fever
in their lumber camp he would send
detachment of State militia to Dayton
to force the investigation.

The "change Of life" is
the most critical period
of a woms1's existence,

women as it draws near

likely to become active
and with a host of ner-

to form and begin their
destructive work.

Three Negroes Drowned

News reached the city Sunday eve ming of the drowning of three negroes in Crow Creek, about one mile west of Madison, and below the railroad bridge about d quarter of mile.
 Will Cooper, brave and fearless negro, lost his life ill an attempt to re cover the bodies of two negro children who had been drowned about an hour before while bathing in the creek, which was very much swollen by the recent rains. Cooper was formerly an employe of the WaltOn-knox box fac tory at Madison in the capacity of fire man. He had been diving for the bodies, and it is supposed he must have been siezed by cramps or struck his head against rock. and was unable to save himself. All of the bodies were recovered later. The children were Alex Mason, aged $, and Turner Mays, aged years

Drowned in a Street Mud.hOle.

Forrest City, May 9.-A little negro boy about years old fell into mud hole in the streets Wednesday and was drowned. The body was not found until yesterday.
 The most he could have done in Wyune would have been to fall through hole in the sidewalks. We relinQuish the cake in favor of Forrest City, Wynne Blade Exchange.
 The above is a slander pure and simple, and is 6 specimen of the "whistling to keep up their cour- age" which the Wynne papers are bound to do in order to make the unsophisticated believe them keep ing up with this city in its rapid progress towards city of the first class.
 The only shadow oftruth in the dispatch printed above, which was probably manufactured in Wynne, is that little , year old negro boy did fall into a hole in ditch running through the lot of MT. E.. Bonner on the corner of South Washington and Cross streets a few days ago, and was drowned. The hole in the bottom of the big ditch through this lot was about four feet deep Tn ono place not larger than the head of barrel and quite shallow elsewhere, and was caused by the water from q street drainage pipe emptying there.
 Of course a little country town like Wynne has no drainage pipes, sewers, or modern Improvements of that kind, and perhaps cannot un- derstand how hole could be washed in the ground by stream of surface water being turned into a ditch where it belongs.
 If Wynne will send that com. mittee down here we will give them some valuable hints on, and exam pies ot, genuine enterprise and progress.
