Attention has been called to the fact
that our cotton oil mills could engage
in the manufacture of denatured al
cohol during thes ummer months, and
thereby find employment for the whole
wear. The free alcohol bill recently
passed by congress will prove stimu-
lus to this industry and there us an
opportunity for our mill men to get
in on the ground floor. The oil mills
have the power lying idle more than
half the year and the addition OF
small amount of machinery would en-
able them to manufacture TINS product
economically. Irish potatoes are ex-
cellent for use in making this grade
of alcohol and the lands Of Missis-
sippi will produce lavishly of the crop
Then, engaging in this new branch
would not only give employment 10
the mill force the year round, but
would also furnish market for a
crop that grows as we'll here as at
any other point in the country. The
mills could keep their forces Of hands
much better organized under this sys-
TEN Of continuous running as well as
produce twelve months in the year on
an investment that ordinarily lies idle
six. The subject is worthy of careful
consideration.

1t seems. that Hazlehurst is to have
the first warehouse to be built by the
Farmers Union. A $4,000 lot has
been purchased at that place and the
building will be ready for occupancy
by next season. Two others are also
contemplated lii that county and plans
are being made for number through
out the State. The scheme is good
one and backed by hard common
sense. The farmer is the only producer
of any commodity that dumps the
bulk of his product upon the market
at practically one time of the year.
With the aid ofgood warehouses where
insurance will be reduced to the mini
mum, the farmer can store his cot
toon and have it insured for the banks
upon the warehouse receipt, such be-
ing excellent collateral. By this means
the crop can be fed to the market as
the consumption demands and better
prices realized thereby.

Laurel will try solving the washer
woman question by establishing a
home laundry with improved ma
chinery. Two or three towns in the
state have already adopted this plan
and from reports find that it works
nicely. The inability to get Negro
washerwomen has compelled the adop-
ton of other methods, and the laun-
dry for home washing has proven the
best thing where given a fair trial.

There is a good prospect for a crop
in Yazoo county judging from the re-
port of two farmers from that section
A. H. Deskins of Zion says that his
prospect for large yield of corn was
never better. On some acres he esti-
mates that he will gather Is or 80
bushels and Oh one and one half acre
he expects to get as much as one hun
dred bushels to the acre. W. S. Don
aldson of Redmonville is almost as
optimistic, saying that if he does not
get 20 or so bushels to the acre he will
be disappointed. Such reports as these
are encouraging indeed. With a good
cora crop, such as is reported from
almost every section Of the state, there
will be little attention paid the price
of feed stuffs next year. 1t is time
that Mississippi was raising her own
feedstuffs any way, and it now looks
as if the start had been made.

There has been some little interest
excited with reference to the manage

caused by letters written concerning
conditions by olS of the inmates. The
superintendent denounces the charges
as false, but does not give them furth-

ROMANCE OF slCKRooM ENDS
George Fellows and Miss Eduister,
Formerly : Nurse, Obtain
Marriage License

A romance that commenced in the
California hospital several years ago
reached a happy elimination yesterday,
when George Peters Fellows, a well
known resident Of Los Angeles, se-
cured license to marry Miss Mary
Louise Edminster, formerly a nurse In
the California hospital.
Years ago Mr.. Fellows was taken sud-
denly i'll and removed to the California
hospital, where he was under the care
OF Miss Edminster. Through Miss Ed
minister's care he was nursed back to
life
Since the time Mr.. Fellows first en-
tered the California hospital a notice.
able mutual friendship existed between
the two. Friends and relatives of Miss
Edminster and Mr.. Fellows have long
looked for the issuance of a marriage
license for them. Nevertheless, the
news that such document had been
secured yesterday came as a surprise.
All efforts to locate the pair last
night were futile. Mr.. Fellows left the
Lankershim hotel, where, he has been
living for several months, early yester-
day morning, and had not returned at
an early hour this morning. Miss
Edminster's whereabouts were not
known to any Of her friends yesterday.

DYNAMITE RUINS

MAKE COMPLAINT
Excessive Charges Of Explosives Used
In RazIng Totterlns Walls In San

Buildings
By Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-Prop-
erty owners along the west side Of
Van Ness avenue, whose houses passed
unharmed through the earthquake and
fire, had occasion this morning to COM
plain Of the work of the blasting party
engaged I'm razing the walls of ruined
buildings along that thoroughfare
The blasters began their work tl1ls
morning on the walls Of the Mary All
toinette. an apartment house at Bush
and Van Ness. 1t did not take much
powder to level the remains of the
structure and the blasters then attacked
the walls of the Concordia club at Van
Ness and Post
This building had been solidly con-
structed, the bricks being laid in con-
crete, and very heavy charges of pow
der were placed In and around It,
Explosion Wrecks Houses
The effect of the explosion was trem-
endous. Out from the column of smoke
that Immediately surrounded the build
ing a tower of brick was hurled clear
across the avenue; the ground within
500 yards from the place shook as II by
earthquake; glass in window panes
ratified to the pavement and a shower
of brick and mortar was scattered all
about the remnants of the buildings.
Four frame houses Immediately OPP
poste the club building were reduced
to ruins.
The house on the corner of Post and
Van Ness, owned by DR.. Joseph 1. Man
son and occupied by him as his office
and residence, was shattered. Not a
piece of glass or ohinaware in the house
was left intact, and hardly a bit Of
plaster remains on the walls or ceilings
The adjoining house Jared even worse
the entire front being wrecked and
seems about ready to fall.
Two Houses In Ruins
The third house, occupied by r. Good
ban, is a ruin. and the same can be
said of the fourth house in the row.
Their ruin is complete and the people
who found shelter there after the dam
ger of the earthquake and fire had
passed will be obliged to go elsewhere.
Several of the rooms had been rented
by the owners to lawyers and others
for offices, and these people will now be
under the necessity of seeking new To-
cations.
On Franklin and Post streets the
shock Of the explosion was also felt
and a great many windows were shat
tered.
That no one was injured was due to
the fact that everyone had fled to a
place of safety before the charge was
lighted.

FIVE blocks from the Southern Pacific
right-of-way to Third street and Cen
trail avenue last evening with his right
arm ground to a pulp. There he dropped
from exhaustion and was found by Pa

Of the Southern Pacific about o'clock
From his effects It was learned that
he had been in the employ of the rail-
roads as a section hand, and recently
worked for the Salt Lake road.
How long the man lay unconscious on
the tracks can be a matter of conjec-
ture only. However, a man was seen
staggering along Third street holding
one arm closely to his breast q short
time before Alvarado was found.

W|TTE DEMANDS
DECISION NOW
ASKS EMPEROR TO MAKE HIS
CHOICE AT ONCE
Rumors Again Current at St. Peters,
burg That Premier Will Become
President of the Council of
the Empire
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG. April 30.-While
the Associated Press is unable abso-
lutely to confirm the story that En-
peror Nicholas has accepted Premier
Whites resignation it can be affirmed
that Count Witte has again asked the
emperor to choose between him and
Interior Minister Durnovo.
Rumors of Count Whites retirement,
coupled with the assertion that the en-
peror would appoint him president of
the council of the empire, have been
current since yesterday, but they have
been so frequently put i'm circulation of
late that they have attracted but little
attention, especially in view of the fact
that Count Witte was believed to have
definitely downed his rival, M. Dur
novo.
Enemies Only Shamming
1t appears, however. that Premier
Whites enemies have been only sham
ing until the loan negotiations could be
finished and that with the consumma-
ton of the loan the court intrigue for
the overthrow of the premier and the
restoration of M. Durnovo to power
were resumed.
The Associated Press is in position
to state that the count is utterly dis
ly with the possibility that the en-
peror might not redeem his promise to
dismiss M. Durnovo before the assem-
bling of the national parliament and
that within few days the premier
offered the emperor the alternative OF
Durnovo or himself.
According to the story Emperor
Nicholas is lending his ear to Premier
Whites foes but instead of permitting
him to drop out of public life wants
him to accept the presidency of the
council OF the empire, a position OF
dignity, but like the one he occupied
when Plehve endorsed him In 1903
without power.

of the empire, which is to be supplant.

members of which are elective, wa,

cinity of Yakutsk has been selected

BALTIMORE, April 30.-Archbishor
Glennon of st. Louis, preaching the
sermon last night in the Baltimore
cathedral after a celebration in honor
of the one hundredth anniversary of the
laying of the institutions cornerstone
touched upon the opposition of the
church to socialism.
He said in part:
"The social fabric appears today tC
be in imminent danger because ole
principles are ignored and old founda-
tions attacked. What was held law is
regarded now as injustice; what was
held as government is now deemed
tyranny.
Socialism Hangs Over Land
"It were folly to deny that the shadow
of socialism is hanging over the land
and while learned men are busy point
ing out it's unreasonableness, it's In
justice, it's lack of feasibility, the
shadow deepens, the preachers capitu-
late and the leaders grow more
audacious. And yet we fear not.
1--WE are convinced that the church
has message for the coming years
Do the people demand equality? Do
struggle for life?
"Is the brotherhood of man the dream
they would see actualized? Then comes
our church, needless of the passing
clamor, careless of the mere surface
thought of a restless age, to hold up for
all good mems admittance the change
less principles of the democracy Of the

SAYS FORGET IT
AND GET BUSY
SAN JOSE ADOPTS A TIMELY
SLOGAN
Refugees Smile and Extend Cheerful
Greetings to Passersby-Every
One Trying to Blot Out
Recent Event
BY Associated Press.

SAN JOSE, April 9O.--san Jose has
adopted the slogan Forget &C.: get
busy" This morning found everybody
cheerful and ready for active work. The
air was warm and pleasant, the valley
one stretch of green from Mount Ham
ilton to the Santa Cruz range, never
looked more beautiful and the residents,
after day of rest, responded as for
merly to the charm of their natural sur
roundfngs. Last weeks traces of worry
had vanished and every face was bright
and pleasant.
Even the refugees In camp near the
depot were smiling, as II enjoying an
outing.
This city is rapidly resuming its
normal conditions. The streets are
fairly well cleaned of debris and by a
few days all of the demolished build
ings Will have been removed. Every car
penter is busy repairing buildings dam
aged. Y
Many Stores Reopen
Chimney and roof repairs on dwellings
have almost all been made. The stores
are nearly all open, those that were
put out of business by the earthquake
having moved into temporary quarters.
Every former line of business is go
ing ahead as usual, although a number
of merchants are as yet somewhat shy
of stocks. The finance committee Of
the general relief committee met to-
day, and reports showed that local
funds have been ample to cover all
local cases and TO care for thousands
of San Francisco refugees and injured.
These are rapidly departing.
Clothing, food shelter and supplies
of all kinds have been abundant for all
and the work will be maintained as long
as a single homeless or destitute case
remains.
Plan Better Buildings
The real estate and insurance men
are holding an executive session this
afternoon.
Now that the poor quality of the
work done on majority of public and
private buildings has been revealed
by the earthquake, the contractors are
convinced that there was no necessity
for the loss of a single building in this
valley by the temblor.
With this knowledge so forcibly pre-
sented all new buildings, both business
and residential, will be so constructed
that they will be earthquake proof, and
San Jose will be all the better for her
shaking up.
There has been no scarcity of ready
money here for ordinary requirements,
and very little inconvenience to indi-
vidualS. The banks will be prepared to
open within a few days
