Jackson, Miss, August 3.-The
much-talked of conflict between the
states of Mississippi and Louisiana SO
far as | know, is without Justification
in fact. If the quarantine guards OF
mississippi have been guilty of dis.
cretion it has not been reported to me
by the officer in charge of the guards

done anything wrong. l have instruct.
ed the guards to remain on Mississippi
soil and to be careful in the enforce.
ment of of the quarantine regulations
promulgated by the Mississippi state
board of health; not to do anything
improper. The intimation of an armed
conflict between the states of Missis.
siDpi and Louisiana. whose friendship
has been so cordial and of such long
standing, is absolutely ridiculous to
me. | shall not permit the quarantine
guards or any other Mississippian to
violate the rights of Louisiana or her

governor of Louisiana reciprocates
that sentiment. (Signed) James K.

Sanford's Statement.

The climax of the trial of Vincent
T. Sanford for killing George Wright
was reached late Wednesday afternoon
| when the defendant took che stand and
made his statement to the jury.
He recounted in detail the occurr.
ences which led him to believe that
Mrs. Sanford and Wright were unduly
intimate and which led Sanford to kill
Wright on sight.
Twice during the recital Sanford lost
control of himself and was forced to
stop talking, as sobs choked his voice
and tears coursed down his cheeks.
SanfQrd's emotion overcame him
when referring to his children.
A striking incident occurred when
Mr.. Sanford attempted to introduce
in his statement matter relative to oc,
currences at the Hotel Bristol in At
lanta and other things that had come
to his knowledge since the killing.
You must not refer to these things.
Mr.. Sanford" said the judge, II have
ruled that that testimony Is not admis
sible and l cannot permit it in your
statement"
Mr.. Sanford commenced to deliver
his statement at 2:20, and spoke for
an hour and ten minutes. He started
to read the statement, but soon threw
down his manuscript, and only referred
to notes from that time to the end. Tha
statement was very long, much of it
relating to things not material to the
trial.

Legal Matters.
Washington, August 3-Attorney
General Moody was at his desk in the
department of justice today.
In speaking of the reasons for his
return to Washington at. this time, he

tention. In answer to an inquiry con-
cerning the cotton investigation the at
torney general said that he had been
in close touch with the investigation
from it's origin, but desired further
personal conference with District At.
torney Beach. Mr. Moody said that Mr..
Beach was quite able to properly con.
duct the investigation without any as.
sistance from him or any one, but that
as this was matter of personal house
cleaning of the administration, it seem.
ed fitting that the head of the depart.
ment of justice should keep in close
touch should matter assume a person.
al responsibility with reference to it..
and the president and with the coun-
try.
The attorney general had confer

trict attorney said that the grand iury
now investigating the cotton leak
would tawe recess today until the
18th. He explained that the adjourn
ment of the grand jury was in conse-
quence of the fact that additional evil
dence was expected from distant

the ears have ringing or buzzing noise,
the throat becomes sore, and as the un-

it in the Herald office on Main street.

run, but found no fire. 1t is presumed
that some one read yesterdays issue

number without catching on fire, and
so decided to turn in an alarm and be

ance risk, as it uses no fire in its
works, running its machinery with
electricity.
Though there was no fire, we none
the less app eciate the prompt service
offered by the fire boys, and we stand
ready any day in the week to do some
