SPECIAL SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE
IS ANTICIPATED
Financial Outlook for State May
Compel Action by the
Governor.
RESULT DEPENDS ON
APPROPRIATION CUTS
Might Reopen Consideration of
Other Subjects That Failed
During Regular Session.

, TRENTON. April 15.--Belief is strong
that before many months the critical
outlook for the States financial condi-
ton next year will compel Governor
Fort to call q special session of the
Legislature to consider means of rats
ing money to maintain the State de-
partments after October 81 next
Definite action in this regard is not
likely until after the Governor has
gone thoroughly over the regular and
supplemental appropriation bills.
If he can do SO against the pressure
that is being put on him by the heads
OF departments, and which will be
strong during the next few days. he
win cut the bills in the effort TO get the
appropriations within the income Of
the State.
1t is doubted that the Governor viii
be able to do much in this way unless
he acts more radically than is thought
Possible. II he cannot succeed in elm
il7AtiDg sufficient items. then the spe-
cial session Isl regarded as absolutely
necessary.
If q special session. be called, it is
not improbablefth it qnay be to con-
slider the state finances 'and other
matters" II that be done, there may
be a new period Of legislation. during
which efforts will be made to have
another consideration of reform meas
ures which failed of passage at the
regular session, including public utili-
ties.
There was some talk of the possi-
blity. of a special session to consider
the public utilities bill alone, but if the
Governor be quoted correctly, this is
unlikely. He is reported to have made
the following statement:
What would be the use of that?
The same members would be recalled
to face precisely the same situation,
which seems to be absolutely hopeless.
Every possible effort TO bring the two
houses together on this question We're
exhausted, and it would be folly to call
them together again. unless the situa-
tion radically changes"
And there is little likelihood of any
radical change in the minds of the lead
ers who opposed the Governor during
the past session.

SOCIETY MATRON
CHAMPIONS CAUSE
OF MILK TRUST
Mrs. Frederick M. Wheeler, of
Montclair, Attacks Local
Board of Health.
SAYS BORDEN COMPANY
SHOULD NOT BE BARRED
Three Thousand Families in
That Town May Be With
out Milk ON May Is.

Coming TO the aid of the five million
dollar milk trust, in it's fight to retain
the right to sell milk IN Montclair one
OF the best known society women there,
Mrs. Florence w. Wheeler. wife of
Frederick NJ. Wheeler, rich .nechani-
cal engineer, OF 159 Gates avenue, Mont
clair, has started d fight against the
Board of Health of that town over it's
new rule regarding tuberculin tested
cows
She claims that the test is practically
useless in determining at all times
whether COW has tuberculosis and she
comes forward as the champion OF the
trust--the Borden Milk Company
which supplies two-thirds of the fami-
lies in Montclair, and which will be
barred on May Is from serving GUS
toners in the town SInless it complies
with the tuberculin regulations.
This fight has'just begun said Mrs.
Wheeler to-day. 81 have stated, in a
public letter. just what 1 think, and
will add to it later. Other women Will
become interested, too. I am acting
simply for the best interests of the
town.
IN her open letter Mrs. Wheeler
states:
"Does the Board of Health of this
town acknowledge or does ii not aC-
knowledge that the tuberculin test for
COWS is not and never has been a cer-
tain test of a tuberculosis COW, and that
a COW reacting at one time will not at
another, and vice versa? There have
been two epidemics in Montclair trace
able to the milk supply, one of diph-
liberia and one of typhoid, in both cases
traced to one of the dairies the Board
of Health SO highly recommends.
"Whenever the milk supply of any
dealer falls short of his requirements
he draws upon outside supply; the sur
est prophet of the future is the past.
For scrupulous cleanliness in the hand
ling of its milk supply, and for intelli-
gent supervision of the same, the Bor-
den company ranks at the head OF all
other companies. That fact has been
proved by personal investigation more
than once.
There is full sympathy with the de-
sire to eradicate tuberculosis. So far as
is known, there is but one cure for it
fresh air. Possibly the principal cause
of it is lack of fresh air. AT any rate,
host of diseases begin in December.
after people have been living with
closed windows for two months, and
there is an equally marked disappear
ance of physical ailments in May, when
windows are opened. Incidentally, it
might be suggested to the Board of
Health that there are some public
buildings IN Montclair insufliciently
ventilated. and hence more microbus
and bhciliantic than problematicsi

Great Educators.

There will be a large delegation OF

rates have been granted by the rail
roads and permission has been given
the teachers by the County Board OF
Education to attend the meeting.
County superintendent Graham has
issued the following notice to the
teachers:
"The Maury County Board of Edu-
cation at its meeting April 9Th, grant
ed to the county teachers a leave OF
absence without loss of pay for April
18th and 18th. in order that the teach
ers may attend the Middle Tennessee

Board of Education hopes that all the
teachers who can attend will do so,
believing that they will return to do
more efficient work in the public
schools after hearing the lectures OF
the great educators that are to ad-
dress, possibly the largest body OF
teachers ever assembled from Middle
| Tennessee.
"The Louisville & Nashville Railroad
has granted for the occasion, one

ISOLATION dues are only fifty cents, a
recent for which from the Treasurer
