Little Rock February B.
 An appropriation sufficient to build, equip and maintain an ad- ditional asylum for the insane of 800 patients, will be asked of the General Assembly by the state Board of Charities. The Board yesterday appointed a committee of three to, look into the requirements of the state in

This is recommended by Supt Stinson of the State Hos pital. He sayslemployment is ben eficial to the convalescent pat ients, and it elamnot be given to them at the present institution. It is the intention of the manage ment to move the convalescent to the new hospital if 1t should be erected.

TO FIGHT DEATH
PLAGUE IN OLD INDIA
[special to INC Sentinel. /

Calcutta, Oct. ia number of ex-
perts will meet at Simla this month
TO examine the whole subject of ma
laria and prepare a plan of cam
paign to fight it, for the considera-
tion of the government of India and
the various local governments
This special inquiry has been insti-
tuted by the governor general in
council as the result of a proposal
put forward to investigate syste-
matically the problem connected with
the disease. This official COM
munique on the subject points out
that the number of deaths ascribed
TO rever through India approximates
to 100000, representing a mean
death rate of nearly 20 per 1000
1t has been estimated, from indi-
cations offered by certain special in
.quires and by the dispensary returns.
that the actual death rate from ma
larial fever is about . per 900. This
represents about 100000 deaths,
and, as the mortality in malarial
fever is ordinarily low, such death
rate indicates a terrible amount of
sickness. much of 1t preventable.

adobe structure on Commercio street
today, and, in fact. IN company with
President Taft. he addressed the peo-
pie of the border in front of the one
time capital.
In front is the same old cathedral
of Guadalupe that stood there when
Benito Juarez rose each morning and
went to mass; the same old cathed-
raj that was erected in 1910 by the
F'riars in their march northward on
their mission for the cross: as sub
stantial and imposing today as when
erected by those master builders over
3 y centuries ago. This building was
also the object of the visit today OF
General Diaz and President Taft.

change of visits between the two
presidents today and i'm distinct CON

Rather an amusing circumstance
connected with an arrest and near
trial in this city yesterday is being
related today 1t seems that u lady
had a big husky man arrested for
striking her little boy and injuring
him on the face to more or less
painful extent. The man was to APP
pear yesterday afternoon for trial.
All the witnesses had gathered and
court was opened but 10 and behold
the defendant did not put in an ap-
pearance. He had promised to be
present but it seems had been placed
under no bond. He did not regard
his promise very highly and did not
put in an appearance. The officers
are busy looking for him and natur-
ally the lady is pretty indignant over
this affair. 1t is rumored that the
man has skipped out of town.
