AS TO QUARANTINES
GOVERNOR BLANCHARD ISSUES A
 STATEMENT.
Thinks Government should Handle the Matter, hut No Interference Is Warranted In Premises of
 State,

Chattanooga. Tenn, Oct. 12.-Goyer- nor Blanchard of Louisiana, one of the prime movers in the Southern Quaran- tine and Immigration Conference to be held here on November 10 and II. has issued the following statement, which he caused the Committee on Ar engagements to furnish to the Associa- ted Press. In view of the discussion as to the national quarantine in con- nection with the conference and the objections of Senator Money, 1t Is con- sideged highly important, especially when Governor Vardaman and other prominent men are understood to hear tily agree with him. Governor Blanch- ard says:
 ..The appearance of infectious or con tagious diseases in any part of the United States and it's assuming epi- deniic form is calamity affecting the whole country
 sThe Encouragement of trade, the Reorganization of the whole system of business and traffic and transporta- ton and the paralysis of industry to be produced by contagious Or infected disease spreading through the country and by quarsntines established to pre- vent it's spread is disastrous1y felt not only. by the people among whom the disease is. but generally throughout tHe country.
 therefore the prevent ton of intro duction of infectious or contagious maladies into the United States any where and their spread If introduced is that concerns the country as a whole, and what concerns the country as whole furnishes a subject or proposition to be dealt with by the national resources and authority
 This has been vividlg and tremen- dously brought home to us--to all the people-by the yellow fever which du- ring this season has ragged in epidemic form in parts of three States of the South, Louisiana. Mississippi and Flor ida.
 The prime usefulness. then, of the conference called to meet at Chatta- nooga on the eve of the assembling of Congress will In my opinion be found in It's urging the taking over entirely by the Federal authority of the duty and responsibility of preventing the introduction into the United States of infected and contagious diseases and their spread when found to have crept in. This includes. of course. the es- tablishment, maintenance and enforce ment of all quarantines, maritime and interstate, but not, it goes without saying, of purely State quarantines, one portion of State against another portion or locality of the same State. There Is constitutional warrant for Congress to establish quarantines af- fecting trade and intercourse between the United States and foreign coun- tries and between the States, but none for quarantine regulations affecting trade and intercourse within a State"

ETRIkn IN MEXICO.

UF.
 Monterey. Mexico. Oct. 12.-Notwith- standing the furnishing by the Cover nor of number of rurslcs to act as guards on the engines of the Mexican Central for the protection of any hre- men that the cc mpany might secure, the officials have not yet succeeded In resuniing traffic. While the trains were sent out on schedule time yesterday, none ofsthem reached their destination, the strike breaking firemen having de- serted their posts at various posts along the road. Traffic is therefore at com plete standstill and Tn all probability there will be no change for the next three days. for the State authorities have now taken the matter in hand and have given the firemen that length of time in which to decide to return to work or get out of the city. They can return if they choose under the old conditions but If they Co not they will be cblikei to leave the city. f- : In the meantime the railroad cannot do anything as the State authorities will not be able to act. The situation will remain the same for the next three days and at the end of that time it is expected there will be some develop r1ents. <

Earnings Of London eeaoars.

Exhaustive inquiry shows that the
average earnings Of a London beggar
amount to s7.75 per week. There
were apprehended in the city last
year 1925 of the mendicants. Using
this number as n basis, 1t is seen that
the London populace gave to the beg.
gar class the enormous sum of $775..
775. Assuming that there are in the
city 1000 more beggars who escaped
arrest. It is seen that more than ST..
5000 were turned over to the fra.
ternity during the year.
