that Mr.. Straus will not desire to re-
main after the 4th of March. Two Pa
cific coast men are listed among the
possible appointees to this Office, Sen
ator Fulton, as heretofore stated and
VIM. r. wheeler of California, now
assistant secretary under Mr. Straus.
OF the two, Mr.. Wheeler is the more
likely appointee because of his eXpe-
rience in the Department, and because
of his previous training in immigra-
ton and transportation affairs. But it
is by no means certain that a Pacific
coast man will be made Secretary of
Commerce and Labor.
Doubtless some of the men who are
now thought of in connection with
cabinet appointments will be appoint
ed to some of the more attractive posi-
lions in the diplomatic service. There
is not room in the cabinet for all of
Taft's loyal supporters and friends who
are anxious for office and deserving.
The diplomatic service is the next
most attractive line that offers, and to
some it is more attractive than the
cabinet. For that reason it is quite
likely that men now reckoned as cab
met timber will be sent abroad to rep
resent the United States at foreign
courts. But the selection of ambassa-
doris and ministers is a much more
perplexing and uncertain problem than
the very uncertain job of making a
cabinet, and the most that can be
said is that some of Taft's good friends,
who can't be accommodated in the
"a biupt will hn sent abroad

EDMUNDS ACT
DOES NOT PREVAIL

Judge Robinson has oyerruled the
demurrer raised by Judge Humphreys
in the Blanche Martin case, thus clear
ing the way for further prosecution
\ gainst the women OF the tenderloin
by the county police and the continu-
ing of the various test cases before
the district magistrate.
In the case before Judge Robinson,
the defendant was one of those women
driven from Iwilei who continued her
unlawful occupation in another part of
the city, being caught in a raid in a
house in the lane extension of Aala
street. Her male companion was fin
ed, pleading guilty, while the defend
ant appealed for jury trial. She was
indicted by the grand jury and appear
ed for trial some days ago.
A demurrer to the indictment was
filed on the following grounds: That
| the United States has exclusive. juris-
diction over the particular crime
charged; that the Revised Statutes OF
Hawaii conflicted with the provisions
of the Edmunds Act, and that no law
OF the Territory made the particular
offense crime.
In arguing the demurrer, Judge
Humphrey abandoned his first conten-
ton and presented no argument on the
last.
On the second contention, Judge
Robinson overruled, his order being
filed today. He states, in the course
of a long decision of nine typewriter
pages, that there is nothing incognous

WORKING HARD FOR
BIG CELEBRATION
Committees Raising Funds to
Defray Expense of Fourth
Of July Event.
BUSINESS MEN RESPOND.
IN HEARTY FAVOR WITH THE
WORK THAT is NOW BEING
DONE IN THE CITY TO MAKE
CELEBRATION A SUCCESS.

The Fourth of July celebration to be
held in this city, promises to be the
biggest event of it's kind ever held in
this section of the state.
Last evening members of the
Knights of the Golden Eagle commit
tee met with members of the city ex-
ecutive committee and final arrange
ments were made to insure the sue
cess of the project. 1t was reported
that so far there has been about $500
raised to meet the expenses of the cell
ebration and within the next two or
three days 1t is expected that twice
this amount will be raised
Both committees spent a greater
part of their time working on arrange
ments for the events which will be
held at Glen Miller park, and arrang-
ing the features of the industrial pa
rade. Monday J. B. Beckwith and
H. w. Deuker will make a canvass of
the city and urge upon the business
men the importance or having their
concerns represented in the industrial
parade.
The project meets with the hearty
favor of the business men and they
have assured the members of the two
committees that they are willing to as
sist in the movement.
1t is proposed to have every business
house in the city represented in this
parade. There will be delegations of
marching workmen, gaily decorated
drays, carts and delivery wagons. all
displaying the goods handled by the
various concerns represented, and it
is also probable that some of the fac
tories and larger mercantile estab-
iishments will be represented by
floats.
The members of the knights of the
Golden Eagle have been working most
industriously TO make the affair a
complete success. ]. B. Beckwith acts

bration arrangements in charge. The

DRANK CARBOL|C
ACID AND LIVES
CoIored Woman Takes Enough
To Kill an Ordinary
Person.
SHE SUFFERS HORRIBLY.
LAY AT HER HOME ALMOST IN
DEATH AGONY OVER AN HOUR
BEFORE MEDICAL ATTENTION
is SOUGHT FOR.

Mrs. Wallace Williams, colered, liv-
ing on Greenwood avenue, took one
ounce of carbolic acid yesterday
morning about 1890 o'clock and is
still living Her attending physician
states that she will entirely recover
from the effects of the deadly poison.
One ounce of carbolic acid is in most
cases enough to cause almost instant
death.
Not only did Mrs Williams swallow
this amount, but she was not given
medical assistance for nearly one hour
and a half after she had taken the
poison. Her physician states that the
woman has an almost abnormal con-
stitution. When he found her she
was apparently in her death agony,
but after he had applied heroic treat
ment, she responded rapidly to the ef-
fects of this treatment and today is
resting fairly easy.
Mrs. Williams took the poison in
the presence of her four young chill
dren. She swallowed the deadly dose
and they watched her terrible suffer-
ings until the father returned home
from his work at noon. The children
were so badly frightened from wit
Messing their mothers suffering that
they did not have the presence of
mind to summon medical assistance.
AS soon as Williams returned home
he at once summoned a physician,
but he thought that his wife would die
before medical treatment could be ad-
ministered to her. 1t is not stated
what the exact provocation for the wo-
mans act was, but it is said that she
swallowed the poison after brooding
over a violent quarrel she had had
with her husband early in the morn
ing.

Work of John Owens, State Of
ficer, Is Revealing Bad Con-
ditions That Have Existed
UnmoIeSted.
JAMES L. H0RNING
LATEST TO SUFFER.
O. L. Daily Had Large Amount
Of Milk Dumped, But His
Dairy Is Graded Fair-0th-
ers Escape.

This morning, John Owens, state
food and drug inspector, condemned
another dairy, that of James l.. Horn
ing, and yesterday he held up o. l..
Daily, we'll known dairyman, en-
route to town and after inspecting his
product, gave him the choice of
dumping it in the road or being prose-
cuted for violating the pure food laws.
Daily chose the former course, depos-
iting in a trench the contents of "a
containers. Mr.. Owens states that
fifty per cent of the milk found in
Daily's wagon was full of dirt. Mr..
Owens brought two bottles of milk
containing dead flies and refuse as evi-
dence to be used against Daily if nee
essary.
This morning Mr.. Owens and City
Inspector Hoover inspected the Daily
dairy and graded it fair. Daily must
provide a milk house and a cooler and
he must cease placing his milk in bar
re1s to cool, and allowing refuse to
collect about the barn. 1t will be pos
sible for Daily to improve conditions
without mucR delay.
The Horning dairy, Mr. Owens
states, was in the worst condition of
any that he has inspected. Horning
sells fifty gallons to John Thompson.
After seeing the condition the dairy
was in, Mr.. Owens condemned it on the
spot Last March Inspector Cohen
visited this dairy and Horning at that
time promised to place it in good con-
dition, but he failed to do so. In the
front of the COW stalls is a ditch
filled with water, manure and refuse,
and the odor which arises from it is
almost unbearable. The barn is in
bad repair. mo one having knowl-
edge of this condition of this dairy
would use the milk produced there"
remarked Mr.. Owens.
This morning it was reported to In
spector Owens that the Raper Broth
ers dairy, condemned yesterday, was
selling milk in the city. If this report
is verified, Mr.. Owens will prosecute
them. After the dairy was condemned
Mr.. Owens told them that they could
take their cows to the dairy of Frank
Taper providing that they would make
necessary improvements at that dairy.
The Raper Brothers promised to let
Mr.. Owens know yesterday afternoon
whether or not they would accept
these conditions. They neglected to
do so, but they removed their cows
to the Frank Raper dairy.
Mr.. Owen stated today that the
method employed by the majority of
local milkmen in carrying milk from
their wagons into houses in open con-
tainers must cease. This exposes the
milk to all kinds of flying refuse.
Yesterday afternoon he visited
three dairies. That of w. H. Hart
man he graded fair. A few improve
ments are necessary. The J. F. Bull
lerdick dairy was graded fair. He
must remove refuse. The dairy of ].
H. Nolte was graded fair A few
improvements are necessary.

Revision of the Tariff Is One
Of Strongest, and States
Rights Plank Is Consid-
cred.
PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN
FUNDS TO BE ADVOCATED.
Labor, Panama Canal, Cur
rency, Conservation of Re-
sources and Others to Be
Touched On.

Lincoln, Neb., June 27.-William J.
the following planks for the democrat
ic platform:
Tariff Revision-This plank will ad-
vocate uncompromisingly revision
downward, based on revenue and
protection principle combined, but not
SO emphasizing the protecting princi-
pie as to foster a monopoly or a spe-
cial privilege. This revision shall be
Immediately.
Antitrust Law-There will be
plank insisting upon the application of
the criminal statutes to trusts violat-
ing the antitrust laws, together with
such additional legislation as will de-
stroy all private monopoly. There
will be a demand for the nonduplica-
tion of directors in corporations, for
federal license which shall not inter-
fere with states rights, but which. at
the same time shall protect the public
from watered stock and prohibit mo-
nopoly of any product consumed in the
United States; and third, a law COM
pelling such licensed corporations to
sell to all consumers in the United
States on the same basis. allowing
only for the difference in the cost of
the transportation.
Should Enlarge Powers.
The Interstate Commercial reas-
sertion of the right of congress to
control interstate commerce under
the commerce clauses or the constitu-
tion, and demand for an enlarge
ment of the powers or the Interstate
commerce commission to protect the
public against all forms of extortion
and discrimination. rhe physical val
uation of all railroads will be demand
ed as basis for rate making and for
the issuing of further securities upon
them, said valuation to be based upon
the cost of the reproduction of the
road at present prices. Also. enforce
ment Of the commodity clause in the
Hepburn law. prohibiting railroads
from engaging in any other business
than transportation will be demanded
and a reduction of railroad rates to
that point where the net income will
pay the interest charges, including
dividends and keep the securities at
par. Government ownership, if men,
toned at all, will be subordinated so
as to make it the last resource should
government regulation fail.
Campaign Funds-A plank which
will unqualifiedly put the democratic
party on record as favoring publicity
for campaign fund contributions.
State Rights-A recognition of the
rights of the states as to their police
powers and a demand that foreign cor
porations shall submit their legal dis
putes to the courts of the states in
which they do business, thus placing
them on the same footing as domestic
corporations.
Direct Vote-A strong plank advo-
eating the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
Income Tax-Urging the submission
of constitutional amendment specif-
ically authorizing Congress to levy and
collect a tax upon incomes to the end

EIGHTEENTH DAY.

It was a field day in the Senate for
the debators, with two attractive propo
sitions before the upper branch, one of
them the Logan bill, to provide for the
taxing of stock after february 1, where
business has been started after that
date, which attracted considerable inter
est, as it is considered a piece of adj
vance legislation. The bill was ex-
planned by it's author, and passed after a
general discussion.
The other bill that e~ngendered the fire
of debate was what is known as the An
derson SANDER bill, in which the distin-
guished Senator from Lee county would
make the circulation of false and SLAM
derous reports a criminal ~offense, and
it opened up for discussion a topic that
permitted a wide range. 1t was the
committee substitute that created the
most discussion, as that would limit the
operations of tie law to cases where the
chastity of women or the assailing of
the integrity of a public officer or max
ing unfounded charge of felony against
any person, and the subject was still I'M
der discussion when the Senate adj
iourned.
The time of the lower house was de-
voted to the passage of a number of bills
of a local and private nature, which had
come from the committee with favorable
reports, all of which went through with
out hitch or question.
The Tupelo journal., 1908-02-07
NINETEENTH DAY.

The features of the Senate session were
in the telegram from w. j. Bryan init
mating his acceptance of the invitation
to address the Legislature, and that he
would endeavor to be here the latter part
of February, the exact date not as yet
being practicable to arrange and the de-
feat after a long debate of the Anderson
Islander bill, which lasted an hour, by a
vote of IS to %, a number of the Sena-
tors believing that it were better to have
a written than an unwritten law for
dealing with villifying reports.
Mr.. Holmes, from the judiciary COM
mittee, called up the motion entered yes
terday to reconsider the vote whereby
the bill increasing the perquisites of
nection with the supervision of pubic
roads and bridges was passed, and moved
to table. The yeas and nays being de-
manded, the motion was adopted-42 to
20.
The House spent an hour discussing an
amendment to a bill admitting, or pro-
posing to admit, women as eligible for
the office of county superintendent of
education, and after all the talk the bill
was defeated by a tie vote.
A rather important measure was
passed by the House, which fixes a def
mite time at which tax collectors shall
advertise lands for sale which are delin-
quent for taxes. Under the provisions
of the Code of 1906 there was a conflict
of dates, ana under the bill passed today
the date was made the first Monday in
April, and conforms to one of the con-
tlicting sections.

The three days. institute held by the

The three days. institute held by the
Ridgeland Local Union was a success,
although n of the principal speakers
died a few days before the meeting and
another was unavoidahly absent. The
example is one well worthy of emula-
ton by Unions throughout the State.
The educational feature of the Union is
one of its strongest tenets, and these
institutes r of the best educational
features that can be employed. The
A. & M. college, the department of
agriculture and commerce, department
of public education and the United
States department OF agriculture's dem
onstration workers in the State are
ever willing to assist in such events.
It is to be hoped that nor Of the local
Unions will follow the example OF
Ridgeland Local, one of the youngest
in the State, and hold institutes. Even
If there were no regular lecturers on
hand, the meetings could be made use
ful and interesting by taking up some
special subject for thirty minutes after
the regular routine had been finished.
Try this plan aud let the result be
known by 9 communication to this de-

New County Proposed.

There is a movement on foot to create
a new county, to be named Delta, and
for the purpose of which it is proposed
to take little bits from six counties,
whereby it is proposed to get a county
that will measure 492 square miles. 1t
IS proposed to get Sunflower county to
give up 4S square miles from its west
side; Lefiore county u square miles
from it's southwest corner; Washing
ton county, $50 miles from its southeast
corner; Sharkey, Is miles from its
northeast corner; Yazoo, 1l6 miles from
its north end; and Holmes, l1S miles
from it's western side, and this terri
tory, it is argued, will give a good
average sized county.
