State Militia Take Control Of
Cairo, ILL.,, Today
TWO LYNCHED LAST NIGHT
GOVERNOR pENEEN BUSHES
TROOPS TO THE scENE-sAYs
THAT AFFAIR is A DISGRACE TO
STATE - TROOPS GUARDING A.
THIRD MAN MOB IS AFTER.
STATE TROOPS IN CONTROL


Following the double lynching
here last night, the state Of Illinois
took command of the situation to-
day and the city is practically
under martial law.
Arthur Alexander, implicated by
"Froggy" James in the murder of
Miss Annie Policy last Monday is
under guard of the state troops in
the county Jail here. All the sa-
looms in town have been closed,
and additional companies of the
Fourth regiment of the Illinois ma
tional guards arrived at noon to
enforce the Cairo and Carbendale
sections of that regiment.
Before this evidence of the de-
termination to enforce the law,
mob spirit has broken. The talk
on the streets today is not that of
immediate revenge on the suspect
ed law breakers as it had been
since Thursday. The word now is
wait till the soldiers GO"
The mob of last night sought
merely to avenge crimes against
the women in the community.

ton of Wrapper Product.
Washington, Nov. 12.-The matter
Of how many thousands of dollars will
be saved to the government by a more
rigid examination OF tobacco imports
to prevent the wrapper product com
ing in under the lower duty for filler
tobacco, Is engaging the attention Of
customs experts in New York. The
treasury department last month toolx
steps looking to more rigid scrutiny
and announced that seisures might be
made. Wrapper and filler tobacco
when mixed or packed with over Is
per cent OF wrapper, if unstemmed, is
taxed at 1885 pound, and $3.50 a
pound If stemmed. while filler other
wise is taxed only 35 cents if I'M
stemmed and so cents il stemmed.
Wrapper is for cigar wrappers and
filler means all other leaf tobacco
Most of the tobacco is imported by the
American Tobacco Co Reports indf-
cate that an examination of only 70
per cent Of each importation at Ney
York does not safeguard the govern

BIG CAMPAIGN
TO SAVE BABIES
PREVENTION OF INFANT NOR.
TALLY CONVENTION START
ED LAST NIGHT IN
CONNECTICUT.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. IA big
conference is on here for the proven
ton Of infant mortality. In opening
the session last evening Edward T. De-
vine Of New York, editor of The Sur
vey and chief professor OF social
economy at Columbia said: ut is
sufficiently obvious that the enormous
waste Of infant life is a social prob
lem of fundamental Importance. Just
how enormous the waste is we cannot
determine. In New York one-seventh
OF all the babies born die before they
are year old, and their deaths make
up between one-fifth and one-fourth
of The total mortality
can encouraging decrease can be
seen in New York in the last forty
years. Between the decades 1866 rs
and 1S96-1905 the infant death rate
decreased "a per cent, while the gem
eral death rate decreased only rs per
cent In spite of this decrease, 1t is
the opinion Of the medical experts
that large part OF the infant deaths
which now take place are preyentable
The social economist adopts the.medi-
cal experts opinion, and 1t lis his part
to devise means for preventing that
part of the preventable waste which
IS due to adverse social conditions.
prevention Of infant mortality Is
the subject Of this conference. but khat
is not the ultimate object. The phrase
Is symbolic. suggestive, for the Inn
portant thing is not merely to prevep<
babies from dying, but to keep them
wen and increase their strength, to
give them the best possible beginnings
for their lives. The efforts which give
promise Of the quickest returns are
those which will decrease the proper
ton Of premature and Immature
babies born. and win increase the pro-
portion fed properly through their first
year.

matter, many republicans, have been
enthusiastic supporters of w. E. Pur-

some one of known and proved ability.
Local democrats feel that, while Mr..
Thompson may be a clean, honest busi-

will not be able to do the state and

do in the short time he will have to
