Demands to Be Made.
81 The establishment within the
department of agriculture of bureau
to be konwn as the cotton bureau,
charged specially and solely with the
duty cf reporting upon the cotton
crop and all matters concerning that
staple
90 The appointment as the head
of that bureau at an adequate salary
of man whose reputation and ante
cedents shall be beyond reproach and
whose familiarity with cotton cult
yation shall be an additional suaran-
stee of his fitness.
..;3'. An organization of the bureau
so established upon thoroughly scien-
tific lines as will insure no possible
bias in favor of either buyer or sell
er or producer or manufacturer.

able information, as has been done in

the officers of the department, but it
seems to be as misdirected in this
crisis as it was in the antecedent pc
riod. All the powers and influence
Of the department, of the lawyers and
Of every man of the government seem
to be devoted to the attempt to drag
net lot of irresponsible spectators.
"That there have been for years
leaks in the department is as well
known to the trade as the existence
of the department itself: but these
are insignificant as compared with
the fundamental mismanagement. At
this time, however. there is mani
fest endeavcr to divert attention from
the radical errors and deficiencies OF
the department itself to the thievine
propensities of few unworthy Off
cials.
'Let us not be misled by any such
misdirected energy. Let us reform
at the top, and not on the side. Let
us root out the offenders, cleanse the
personnel. change the methods and
,enrvate the department from root to
branch. Then the cause of cotton
and good government will alike be
served in Rooseveltian fashion.

board of health, called that body to-
@ether at 10 O'Clock this morning.
The object of the meeting was. as
Mayor White stated to let them know
that il was impossible to carry out
the resolutions that had been passed |
by them unless more strenuous ac.
tions We're taken. In other words.
the only way absolute safety could be
insured would be to put a shotgun
quarantine on at Pine Bluff He stat.
ed further that the officers had sue
cecded in running down nineteen men
who had attempted to get off here,
having come from the quarantined
districts, and sent them out OF town. ,
While this was discussed a report was
! brought in that DR. Cantrell, presi-
dent of the state board of health. had
said that no city official would be all
lowed to ride the trains free Of charge
| outside of the city limits Then Mr.
TOney of Lake Village told the board
| dred Italians to come into the vicin-
| ity Of Lake Providence in the past
| few days and that they were scatter
ed all around In the woods in that
country.
This report was quite alarming and
| immediate steps were taken to give
Inf ;u;I
In view of this fact the following res
olutions were passed as drawn up by
the city attorney:
''In order to evade and not interfere
with the orders sent out by the COVER
nor yesterday. be it resolved that
whereas the city of Pine Bluff is prac-
tically unprotected by any efficient
quarantine between this place and
the state of Louisiana. where yellow
fever is now prevalent in epidemic
form. and Whereas an efficient quar-
antine protection would be a helpful
check against the importation of the
infection to this state, and whereas
the governor has placed the state
guard at the service OF the state
board of health to act as a posse
comitatus, when detailed for that pur-
pose
"Now, therefore, be 1t resolved, by
the board of health of the city of Pine
! Bluff, that the state board of health
be and the same is hereby requested
to forthwith make proper application
to have detailed such men and Off
GERS of the state guard as they may
! deem necessary, to act under the di-
rection and approval of the sheriff OF
Jefferson county and this board Of
health and under the supervision OF
said state board of health as provid-
| ed by the proclamation of the COVER
nor of this state as aforesaid"
After this was disposed of the dis
cussion as to who had the right to
make out and issue certificates was
brought up. DR.. Gallagher said that
he had heard rumors as to robbery by
charging dollar for each certificate
and that he would like it settled that
this talk might cease. Reference was
made to the city government records.
and the following resolution passed
to cover this case:
.'That the chairman Of the board OF
health of this city is hereby required
to issue all health certificates, for
which he shall receive the sum OF
twenty-five cents"
The following from Mr.. Gabe Mey-
! er was then read:

! northwest of the city of Pine Bluff for

A NEIGHBORHOOD ROW
or Which Exaggerated Reports
 Reached the Sheriff's Office.

The telephone bell at the sheriff's office tangled furiously yesterday short
 ly after noon. There was an excited woman ct the other end of the line. Her excitement was quickly communi
 cated to Sheriff Walker who in mom- euts of perturbation adopts in a more pronounced manner that soft and mus ical Virginia dialect. He told the wo- man to be calm and tell her storr. It was brief. Two men were cutting each other into small pieces in a tent near Eleventh avenue on the Yuma road. Deputy Sheriff King mounted the office horse and set out for the scene of slaughter. He was desirous of ar I irving on the ground before the work
 of mutual dissection had proceeded to such an extent that the remains of the anatomists should be beyond intelligent recognition.
 Before his return one of the men en- ! ged in the affray A. w Mayiich ac- companied by little girl was brought ] into the sheriff's office by Deputy l Wayne Davis. NIr Maylich said that i he was on his way to the office to make I complaint against a neighbor,, FrancHs Frazier. Frazier was brought in a lit l tie later and warrants were sworn against both of the men charging them 1 with a disturbance of the peace. ! On account of the excitement which prevailed among the women of that ncighborhood it was impossible at first
 to ascertain what had actually taken
 place It was evident though that there
 had been a disturbance of the peace and accordingly both men were charged
 with it.
 A little later they were taken before
 Justice Burnett where both insisted on
 telling who was to blame. This much
 was brought out.
 i Maylich who is an invalid lives with
 his little cen year old daughter in a
 tent not far from the house of Fra
 zier. Maylich is eveidently a man of
 some culture. His language is very correct though marked by a strong | German accent.
 l. was brought out that he had been
 whipping a couple of boys who had
 been swimming in the canal near his
 tent. Added to the onense of which
 there has been Q great deal of com
 plaint of boys parading up and down
 the bank naked he said that these two
 boys had been engaged in throwing stones at his tent. He believed that he
 had two causes for any violence which , he may have visited or them. ] Frazier said that he heard MayIich whipping the boy and went over to the

When Frazier told him to quit he said Maylich accused hun of putting in and made q threat Of per sonal violence toward him. Then lie said he put his fist under tbe nose Of Msylich and told him not to touch him whereupon Maylfch turned and went into his tent saying that when he came out he would be better prepared.
 About this time. several women who had gathered about the scene of the encounter began to leave furriedly and Frazier said that he too sauntered away calling to Maylich that if that was his game he would be back and help him play it. Going to his house he buckled a belt of cartridges and taking a rusty forty-five in his hand returned to the tent and invited May Hch to come forth. l, was about this time that the telephone. message was sent to the sheriffs office.

the eight-hour law passed by the
Legislature. Kair was arrested in
Silver City on charge of working
more than eight hours in mill. He
was convicted and upon appeal the

Court of the United States recently
handed down a decision declaring
the eight-hour law passed by the

on several points involved in the
Nevada ease rehearing has been
granted. The Nevada Supreme
Court will pass on the points as they
apply to conditions in this State
