Expert Opinions.


Since the physicians were a unit
il their opinions on the principal ques-
tfons propounded by the city attorney,
their testimony may be punched" to
some extent. They We're agreed that
there had been more cases of typhoid
this year than last, but some of them
believed there had been years when
it was much worse than this year in
Roswell. Statistics of the disease had
not heretofore been kept, so that it
comparison.
Each physician was asked if 79
cases of typhoid fever in a town the
size of Roswell, from January 1st to
December first would be regarded as
an unusually large number. such as
TO be called an epidemic and if four
deaths out of 70 cases was a high
mortality rate. The doctors agreed
that the death rate was very low. and
although there was some difference
of opinion as to the exact meaning
of the word epidemic. none of them
regarded the number of cases such
as to cause general alarm. Nearly all
cases had been mild, not virulent.
Dr. Mayes was applauded when he
declared that the best way to elimi-
nate the disease or reduce it to a min
imum would be to construct a sewer
system Councilman Church said the
city officers were willing, but the vot-
ers wouldn't let 'enl. The charge of
Dr. Parsons that the health officers
had been negligent was declared by
Dr. Mayes to be a lie, though ne hesi-
tated for a moment as if he would
like to put it in stronger language.
All the experts agreed that carbolic
acid was one of the best disi1fectants
for excreta, if properly used in a solu-
tion of 2 to Is per cent There was

statement had been prepared for in
Kinsinger attending physician, and
said he had just come from the home
of Mrs Martin who signed the state
ment, and also talked with Mrs. Wat
son who Witnessed the signature He
had stood by the telephone only thirty
minutes before and heard the tele-
phone message sent DR.. Kfnsinger ask
ing that the statement should not be
used, and that Kinsinger had prom
ised that it should not be introduced
Parsons said that Mrs. Martin told
him she had signed a statement and
that it had been afterward "doctored"
so that IL was not the same paper DR..
Kinsinger admitted that Mrs. Watson
had telephoned asking that her name
| should not be used, but denied that
Mrs. Martin had said anything about
Withdrawing her statement. He said
that Mrs. Martin had volunteered to
sign a statement rather than be sum-
moned to the council chamber as a
witness. On the other hand Parsons
asserted that Mr. Williams had labor
ed half the day to induce Mrs Martin
to sign a statement which he should
prepare. and that trusting in his hon
esty as to what the statement contain
ed she had signed it before reading.
| DIR. Kinsinger stated that so far as he
knew no member of the investigating
haI in,
any of the eight cases. With general
denunciations of the whole proceeding
DR.. Parsons started to leave the room,
but fingered to hear what City Attor-
neg Scott had to say. Scott gave him
a genteel castigatiol. stating that he
had been treated with all the courtesy
any lawyer or gentleman could ex-
pect in any court of the land, and as
suring him that if ne wished to abau-
don his charges on account of failure
TO prove them, that the committee
would continue it's work as contem
plated by the city council without any
great embarrassment. Practically all
the testimony was already in and
there remaiped to be heard only the
expert opinion testimony as to what
had been proven. Mr.. Scott said he
would not Introduce the Martin paper.
Mr.. Parsons, made his bluff good by
marching out to the music of laughing
physicians and others. -
Mr.. Williams then denied the charge
of Mr. Parsons that he had been
coached in his testimony of the night
before or that any duress or deception
had been practiced in securing the
affidavit of Mrs. Carter. However. the
paper was withheld.
DR.. Kinsinger stated that it was
the duty of the committee to investi- |
gate anything bearing on sanitary mat
ters, whether included in the eight
charges of DR.. Parsons or not, since
the object was to ascertain what pro
cedure would be most practical and
effectiye on the part of the city coun
Gil to preserve the health of the COM
munity. 1t was not merely a matter
of trying specific charges against
any particular physician or other per
son. but to obtain Information as to
sanitary conditions for consideration
of the council that the committee had
been appointed.

Orivjnu Into Nets.

Tn the old days every southern gen tleman had his net for quail. The drive was an event in the county Our youth of today may never enjoy such sport. In the proper season the neigh bors were invited. All came on horse back. for while quail will rise from the approach of dog or man, they will run along the ground ahead of a gentle horse. Much skill was required to drive a covey into the net. AS many as 30 horsemen would form a semi circle and slowly, patiently, silently make the roundup all driving toward the common center. yet from one gen. eral direction only. and that always against the wind. The net had been set facing the wind. An impatient man on a fractious horse might des- troy the work of half day by flush ing entire coveys.

Haydn's Grave.

The city council of Vienna has made formal overtures to the authori- ties of Eisenstadt looking toward the removal of the bones of Josef Haydn to Vienna. where" the city fathers say. "a ltting resting place will be provided by the city" This will be near the graves of Beethoven and Schubert. Haydn was 77 years old when he died in Vienna In 1909. He was buried in a little cemetery near the Hundsturm line, and at the head of the grave was placed a small stone at the expense of his pupil Sigmund Knight of Neukomm. The stone bore only the name Haydn" and the in- scription Non omnis moriar." In 1920 Prince Esterhazy had the body removed to Eisenstadt, where Haydn had been music director from 1760 to 1790, and there an elaborate monu- ment with ample inscription was erected.

4 REWARD OF FAITH.
Conclusion Drawn from the Destrue-
 ton Of an Ohio Church.

A congregation in a hilly district in Ohio bought small tract of land and erected a church building upon 1t. says the Youths Companion. Then the question of insurance came up. Mir. Sipes, the wealthiest member. who had contributed more than half the money needed for the new struc- ture. declared that he did not believe fn insurance. This is the Lords building. He'll take care of it." he said. His view prevailed and there was no insurance. In a few weeks the building was struck by lightning and almost totally consumed by fire. Another one was erected, MT. Sipes contributing the greater portion of the fund as before. This time the de- mand was almost unanimous that it De Insured, but MT. Sipes again ob- Jected on the same ground. If it burns down again, brethren" he said,
 I'll agree to rebuild 1t myself" Again ne carried his point. In less than a month the new church was struck by lightning again, and although strenu- ous efforts were made to save it, the loss was almost total There must De some reason for this, brethren said Brother Sipes. "I am going to md out what 1t is." Thereupon he employed force of men to sink a shaft on tho site of the twice dss- troyed church. Within a few days rich vein of iron ore was found and the church property was sold for many times the amount needed to buy iand in another locality and build again.

LONDON. August 1.-THE stock ex-
change experienced another trying and
anxious week. with heavy differences to
meet at the settlement. but the latter
passed off satisfactorily and with a sharp
recovery in Americans, the general tone
of the market strengthened toward the

practically unchanged after a severe early
decline due to forced liquidation, princi-

only temporarily checked the upward
movement, and cOnSols at the close were
quoted at 81 1-16, after touching SO%.
Americans eclipsed everything else in &C
tivity and erratic movements. The sharp
declines. attributed to fears of further gov
ernment action against the trusts were
offset by more confident New York buying
on rumors that the administrative action
would be modified. Unfavorable forecasts
of Secretary Taft's speech to be delivered

pect of a poor New York bank statement,
however. knocked the bottom out of the

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE FInancier
will say:
The official statement of the New York
associated banks last week showed an i'm
portant decrease, instead of the small in
crease in cash that was estimated upon the
basis &C the traceable movements Of money,
but a large contract not in loans con-
tributed to a reduction in deposits. and
hence In reserve requirements 50 that there
was a moderate augmentation In surplus
reserve. The cash loss, as reported by the
statement was 81. S2S3OO.
General deposits were reduced $17,447,-
300 chiefly as the result Of decrease Of
S14231 200 in loans which was due to the
liquidation of securities on the stock ex-
change during the week and because OF
such reductions in deposits reserve re-
quirements fell off S4.361 .S25. Deduct from
this sum the loss of cash left 81 .533 523, as
the increase in surplus reserve to So, 294 ,O75
Computed upon the basis Of deposits, less
those of S279T 300 public funds. the sur
plus is $16243. 400. The daily average of
bank clearings during the week was 1854
100000 against $267. 900, 900 in the previous
week: clearings on Saturday rejecting Fri
days business were 1921. 444, 768 Compare

lost two millions net cash.
