EVIL DoERs TAKE FLIGHT.
The Presence of the Grand Jury Low
ers the Records of Arrests.

The powerful influence over evil
doers of the presence of a grand jury
of inquisitors is found in the absence
from their haunts of those at whom
the law points at this prevailing sea-
son. Per consequence of this absence
of these agitators of evil from their
dens of vice the Hattiesburg police
department has found the making of
arrests the smallest part of its duties
during the past few days. On Mon
day May 10, the grand jury of the For
rest county circuit court convened to
look into the criminal matters of the
county. With the exception of one
assault and battery case, misdemean.
or in character, no case has been tried
before Police Justice Davis. In fact
there has been no work for the police
justice to do since the morning oi
May II, simply because. with the ex
ception of the case mentioned, tn,
police arrest docket shows a clea
record.

attempting to turn down Pine street,
lost his footing and slid on his side
for a distance of about % feet, clear
up onto the sidewalk in front of the

Minds DIVERTED
FROM REAL DANGERS
So Much Attention Has Been Given
to Milk That other and DeadIier
Sources of Infection Were Over
looked.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-That
there is a tendency to overrate the
danger to children from milk from
tuberculosis cattle, was the decided
view expressed today in the section Of
the tuberculosis in children of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. The sub
ject was exhaustively treated in j
joint paper by DR.. Henry L. X. Shaw
and Arthur Laird, of Albany, N. Y.
Diverted from Real Danger.
Drs. Shaw and Laird took the posi-
tion that the attention of the public
should not be diverted from the great
and very real danger Of human con-
tagion If, they argued tuberculosis
milk was as virulent as so many de-
clare, it was difficult to conceive how
any children at all escape infection.
A diagnosis of tuberculosis in a child
by rational symptoms alone, they con-
tended was impossible in the early
stages. They declared that the history
of tuberculosis in the family of a
sick child was almost prior evidence
of the presence of some form of tu-
berculosis. The association of the child
with tuberculosis parents or other con-
sumptives, they said, was a matter
of such Importance in the diagnosis
as well as in the prevention of the
disease that every member of tuber-
culosis family should be examined
as a matter of routine. Children es-
pecially were exposed to infection be-
cause of their irresistible impulse to
place everything in their mouths.
Where the Danger Lies.
They pointed out the enormous dan
ger to children in the home of the tu-
berculosis adult. Dust from a room
inhabited by consumptive, they de-
clared, had been found virulent for six
weeks. Towels, they said, were a
fertile source of infection. other dan
gers were in unhygienic surroundings
and improper food.
That tuberculosis occurred more fire.
quently in artificially fed infants was
another view expressed by them. They
maintained, however, that this was ne
cessarily an indication that the in
fection was always of the bovine type
and contracted from the use of milk
from tuberculosis COWS. They declared
that bottle fed babies had a greatly
lessened resistance to any infection.
! A campaign against tuberculosis
could only be waged with success
they insisted, if its occurrence could
be prevented during childhood DR.
Shay and DR.. Laird urged the associa
ton as SUCH and as individuals t
bend every effort to prevent and arres
the spread of tuberculosis in children

ASSOCIATION IS
NOT WANTED
VISITING BANKERS AT NEW Or
LEANS ARE ADVERSE TO 1T.
Would Conflict With the American
Bankers Association and Might
Disrupt 1t.

NEW ORLEANS, May 15.-That a
Southern Bankers Association will
never be organized, or at least not for
some time yet, was evident by the
discussion that came up at the last
session of the Louisiana Bankers AS
sociation in the Grunewald Hotel.
Although Mr. L. H. Dinkens, of the
Interstate Bank, of this city offered a
resolution inviting the Bankers Asso-
citation of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama Geor-
gia and Florida to meet in New Or
leans in May, 1910, for the purpose of
forming a Southern Bankers Associa-
ton, the argument presented by Mr..
Sol WeXler, Of the Whitney-Centr1l
Bank, of this city, brought about ex-
pressions showing that an adverse
feeling in the matter prevailed gener-
ally among the delegates.
Mr.. Wexler said that the formation
of a Southern Bankers Association
would result most disastrously to the
banking interests of the country and
especially to those of the South. He
agreed with Mr.. Dinkins that where
there is unity there is strength, but
he pointed out the fact that unity in
great measure already existed by the
fact that all of the banks of the coun-
try, or at least a great majority of
them are members of the American
Bankers Association. Mr.. Wexler ar
gued that if the Southern Bankers
formed a seperate organization from
the American Bankers Association. it
would doubtless result in the disrup-
tion of the American Bankers Asso-
citation eventually.
Opposed to Organization.
The matter ended by a motion be.
ing adopted referring the resolution
of Mr.. Dinkins to the executive coun-
ell of the Louisiana Bankers Associa-
ton. Several of the members, how.
ever, went on record as positively op.
posing the formation of a Southern
Bankers Association.
