WHY VARDAMAN
 TRIED ID FIGHT Dispute Arises Over Rattleship
 Silver Service RESOLUTION TOO SEVERE Former Governor Vardaman Has the Funds In Trust and MT. Rowland Demanded That the Money
 Be Handed Over.

Jackson, Miss, February 3.-(Special)- J. The silver service commission, composed of Governor Noel, ex-Governor Vardaman, Superintendent of Education Powers and Director of Archives Rowland. named by the legislature as commission to raise the funds necessary to purchase a silver service for the battleship that Is named in honor of the state of Mississippi, held & stormy session Monday and for a while it seemed as if there would be a personal difficulty between Messrs. Rowland and Vardaman.
 Shortly after the meeting had been called together MT. Rowland read the fol- lowing resolution:
 Whereas, The Mississippi silver service committee has on deposit in the Mer- chants bank of Jackson, a bank of at tested solvency and strength, under It's of $6039, and
 Whereas, The cost of a suitable silver service for the battleship Mississippi is, according to bids on file, s67O0, and
 Whereas, The sum at the disposal of the committee is insufficient to purchase said silver service, and
 Whereas. There has been collected the additional sum of s1704. 80, which is not under the control of the committee, but in private hands, therefore. be it
 Resolved, By the Mississippi silver service committee that it is unwise and unbusinesslike to make a contract for the payment of $67OO until that sum has been deposited in bank, subject to the order of the committed, and be it
 Resolved, That the purchase of a sil- yer service for the battleship Mississippi be postponed till the necessary funds have been collected and deposited in bank, and be 1t further
 Resolved, That in the event the said sum of s17O4.sO, now in private hands, is not at once placed in bank subject to the order of the committee that the committee proceed to raise a sum sufficient to make the total of available funds equal to se7O0, and expenses; if it is found that the fund now at the disposal of the committee is insufficient to purchase a suitable silver service"
 This S1704. 80 was collected by Governor yardaman during his administration and he has refused to turn it over to the commission. He knew the resolution was aimed at him and he declared it untrue
 "In what respect?" asked MT. Row land
 it purports to be- returned Governor Vardaman, wrathfully.
 MT. Rowland insisted that it bore no hidden meaning and that he stood by it fin every particular.

country towns who have obtained credits on the representation of assets far in excess of their liabilities and shortly aft erward they would either fail or fail to pay their bills and investigation disclosed the fact that they had nothing with which to pay.
 Recently Atlanta wholesalers decided comparatively to go after all cases of this class no matter in what state they may reside. It has been found that they can be brought here and prosecuted un- der the laws of Georgia and that has been decided upon as the surest way to put a stop to the practice.
 Pure Food Laws.
 Dr. R. E. Stallings, Georgia's state chemist, is an ardent admirer and sup porter of the methods of Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry in the. United States department of agri- culture and expresses the belief that the government, will take long step back ward in the matter of enforcing pure food laws and regulations if Dr. Wiley is per- mitted to lose his position as the result of the attacks now being made on him.
 "Dr. Wiley has done great work for the American people, said Dr. Stallings in discussing the matter, "and it would be an outrage and an injustice should he be removed as the result of the at tack of these manufacturers who persist in using benzoate of soda and like chem icals for the preservation of their food products.
 "Dr. Wiley's position in this matter is eminently correct There is no occasion or necessity for the use of such chem icals as food conservatives, as has been shown time and again and whether ben zoate of soda is deleterious to the con sumer or not, It's use ought to be se- yerely prohibited because of the fact that it can and does conceal unwholesomeness and even incipient decay. There, Is no question in my mind that decayed and worthless fruits, vegetables and meats have been mixed with good ones and the fraud concealed by the benzoate of soda. This is sufficient to condemn it and Dr. Wiley ought to be strongly upheld by the government as he is, I have no doubt, by the vast majority of the prac- tical chemists of the country

GALL ON BANKS /
 FOR DEPOSITS

Washington, February 3-Secretary Cor telyou today announced that he has made a call on all temporary national bank de- positories for about $30, 100000 government deposits to be paid on or before February "A. There are over 1000 temporary de- positories banks and the secretarys call today will leave exactly $10,00O in each, as the instructions will be to remit every thing above that sum. Calls hitherto made on the regular depository banks have practically exhausted their holdings above the amounts exactly needed to meet disbursing officers checks. These aggre- gate about $55,00o000. The call for $24.500 900 made by the secretary early in Janu- ary has been responded to by all of the banks except a few in the far west where remittances are already on the way.

POLICE STATION
 FULL OF LIQUOR Chief Of Police Don't Know What To Do With It ARRESTS ARE INCREASING Atlanta's Prohibition Record Is In a Fair Way to Be spoled-Some Fears Still Exist Regarding
 Fruit Crop.
ARRESTS ARE INCREASING

Atlanta February 3.-(Special )-Chief of Police Henry Jennings has accumu- lated in his office at the police station enough liquor of various sorts to stock al first-class barroom. It is not of the blind tiger sort, either, thought it has been collected as the result of raids on these institutions
 The chief has close to 100 gallons of whisky of the best known brands, to- gether with wines and brandies of various sorts for which, of course, the defendants who were prosecuted on account of its possession have never called, whether they were convicted or not.
 This does not by any means repre- sent all the liquor the police department has seized during the last year since most of the cheap blind tiger whisky has been thrown into the gutter as soon as it was used for the purpose of prosecution.
 Chief Jennings says he is confronted by a problem in the matter of what disposi- 1ion to make of these liquors. He cannot sell them nor can he give them away. Nor does he feel altogether like pour in$ so much property into the sewers. Prohibitionists, of course, will clamor for the destruction Of the booze and prob ably that will be it's final fate unless some legal means can be devised for other wise disposing of it, which does not seem probable.
 But the accumulation of seized booze will continue from year to year until they will finally swamp the department unless some disposition is made of them
 If the Atlanta police docket continues to increase in the numbers of those en- tered upon 1t, the prohibitionists will soon be unable to point to it as evidence in behalf of prohibition. The record for the month of January, 1909, is somewhat in- terestng. There were 145S cases made during the month, an increase of 5O6 over January, 1908, the first month of prohi- bition. This, however, is still consider ably less than the record for January. 1907, which had total of 1869 cases to its credit But heavy inroads have al- ready been made on the record of the first month of 1908, and the months to come will be watched. with no small in- terest.
 On the other hand. one of the good ef- fleets of prohibition is pointed out by Chief Jennings, who states that there was comparatively little suffering in the city during the severe cold spell which it has just experienced. Not more than half a dozen cases were brought to the attention of the police department, and the Asso- ciated Charities reports an unusually small number This is said to be due

Should more money be raised by the commission or it's representative and the contract awarded and the proper service furnished I shall insist upon paying what l have in my hands for the service as part pay ment therefor.
