USED INSANE MAN AS PEN
Officers Believe They Have Theory
of Horrible Crime.

St. Francisville, La.-This section il
excited over the arrest of DIR. T.. G. Ne
kowen, a prominent physician of Jack
son, La, and member of noted family,
for the murder of T.. X. Judson, harm
less inmate Of the insane asylum, whose
body was found partially burned in a
brush pile near Wakefield. DIR. McKowen
was under bond TO appear in the federal
court for writing a series Of weird,
anonymous letters that have terrified
the people Of all the Jackson neighbor-
hood for years with their grewsome
knowledge Of family skeletons and tor
turing, twisting of circumstances to
wreck and ruin individuals and families
The prosecuting officers assert that
their theory is that Judson was the
semi-idiot instrument whom DIR. Me
kowen used as the pen TO prite the let
tiers, debating TO the man and letting
him do the mailing and sending, and
that the near approach of the time for
the McKowen trial, together with Jud-
sons restiveness and growing fear, drove
DIR. Mckowen to the strangling Of the
lunstic whom he had used.

WIN FIGHT ON TUBERCULOSIS
Fewer Deaths Per 100, 900 Than for
Previous Year.

Washington-The great fight against
tuberculosis is being won, according to
Chief Statistician Cressy L. Wilbur, of
the division of vital statistics, United
States census bureau. In a bulletin is
sued Thursday he says;
"A continued decline in the death rate
from it from year to year may he ex-
pected."
lie says that the organization of many
state and local anti-tuberculosis socie-
ties since the international congress ON
tuberculosis at Washington in 1905 has
helped 10 check the disease. The total
deaths from tuberculosis returned in
1905 was 79,2s9, exceeding those of any
previous year of registration, but the
death rate per 100000 for 1905 is con-
siderably less than that for 1907. In
al registration states, the death from
tuberculosis showed a decline, except in
Colorado, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Mr., Wilbur notes pellagra as a dis
ease Of increasing importance with 20
deaths recorded in 1905. This does not
include the bulk Of pellagra deaths in the
South, from which no records are re-
ceived

the living veterans Of the Confederacy
monuments for the dead--such was the
sentiment expressed and voted most EN-
phatically by the United Daughters of

sion Of their national general convention
held in Houston. The strife that deyel.
oped over this question proved to be
the greatest of the convention, and may
be second only Go the election of the
general officers, which will be the final
act of the convention.
The question of the award of crosses
of honor was precipitated by a motion
submitted by Miss Alice Baxter, of Geor-
gia, who sought to have the lines broad
ened which were voted at the Atlanta
convention, and which would give crosses
TO the lineal descendants of the veterans
on the field of battle. A motion was
made by Mrs. Hattie Reynolds, of Ken
lucky. to provide crosses for collateral
descendants 6f veterans, but this. too,
was voted down in the tightening of the
lines which viii furnish crosses Of honor
only to those Of the grizzled veterans
who have gone through the shock of
battle.
Other than the settling of the vexing
questions of the crosses of honor, the
report by Mrs. l.. Eustace Williams, of
Kentucky, the Encouragement, showed
during the year the receipts we're 81
