this morning, and Will continue until
some time tomorrow. j. H. Carrico
opened and was followed by former
Governor A. j. Montague for the con-
testant. Ten hours, FIVE to side, are
given to the argument.
The status of the case to date seems
to be: 115 votes are yet to be passed
upon: MIR. Saunders's majority has in
creased from 81 to ll5; "a more of the
Mathews ballots had Mr., Parsonss
name erased than had Mr.. Saunderss,
leaving Mr.. Parsons 6l to overcome If
they are counted. This is the claim
of Mr. Carrico. who also contends that
there are more than zoo illegal votes
aside from the Mathews ballots.
The chairman of the committee be-
fore which the contest is being heard
the Constitution violated by the act of
Fifth FIFTH District, either by exhaustins
the power or destroying the compact
ness and continuity OIL lhs uiSlrlct. !.
Mr.. Montague argued this point bring
ing to use his splendid learning and
ability. He contended that the Legis-
lature overreached itself, and that the
district, in its present form, Is not
compact and in accordance with law
Wants Ballots Disregarded.
Mr.. Carrico spoke on the alleged
illegal votes. He argued that the
name of the lunatic was a nullity. and
should be disregarded.
Claims 1t Was Legal.
Judge Saunders conceded that II the
vote OF Floyd county We're counted In
the Fifth he would be defeated, but
he argued that the redistricting was
done In accord with the Constitution
He has five hours to present his side,
and Will do II tomorrow.
The arguments Of Mr.. Carrico and
Mr.. Montague We're completed to-day.
Judge Saunders Will speak for him-

Washington, D. c., March 2-That
John D. Rockefeller plans to spend his
millions on a still greater scale than
ever in the cause of education charity
and other beneficent objects was made
clear to-day when Senator Gallinger
introduced a bill to incorporate THE
Rockefeller Foundations" 1t will have
headquarters in Washington.
The incorporators are John D. Rock
efeller, John p. Rockefeller. Jr, Fred
#. Gates, Starr J. Murphy and Charles
o. Haydt. The organization will be a
rival to the Carnegie Foundation. which
is established to pension teachers and
advance the cause of education.
The Rockefeller Foundation Will have
for its object the promotion Of "ail OF
the elements OF human progress" in
cluding education and charity.
MI, Rockefeller has already given
Sll2, 100000. He proposes to go still
deeper into the matter of giving for
causes that will upllft civilization.
On Lavish Scale.
Mr.. Rockefeller proposes to spend
his millions on a scale equaled by no
other living man." said Senator Gal
linger, who added that he believed Mr..
Rockefeller was seeking a method OF
benefit mankind. The bill was referred
to the Senate District Committee. 1t
will be taken up at ali early date and
will probably be passed. The meas
ure thus sets forth the wide scope Of
the objects of the corporation:
ITO promote the well-being and to
advance the civilization OF the people
of the United States and Its Ierrito-
.ries and possessions and foreign lands,
In the acquisition and dissemlnat tion of
knowledge, In the prevention and re-
lief OF suffering, and in the promotion
OF any and all the elements OF human
progress"
From all that can be learned Mr..
Rockefeller intends to undertake the
advancement of charitable, philan.
thropic and educational movements on
scale he has never before eoualed
and which no other multimillionaira
has approached. His war on5the hook
worm in the South is an illustration ar
his purposes,

nomination of Henry c. Stuart for
Congress in the Ninth Virginia Dis
trict by the Democrats has started
considerable political gossip. When
asked tonight concerning Senator a,,
patch, Congressman Slemp said:

tribution of Federal patronage, all of
which will in due time be explained
and straightened out

ried about Mr. Stuart's candidacy. He
believes that Mr.. Stuart Will secure
the Democratic vote. and no more.
"rhe Democrats" he said, always be-
gin their campaigns as II they We're
going to win, but it does not last,
The Ninth is Republican and have
no doubt the Republicans will line up
to a man and really fight harder than
ever"

isolated from the earliest suspicion of
the disease to the time when de5quama-
tion is entirely completed and there are
no remaining evidences of involvment
of mucous membranes of the head,
throat and respiratory passages. Even
in mild cases it is not likely that these
conditions can be met inside of fifteen
to twenty DAYS; and if cases are not
under the constant observation of
careful physician and nurse, the isola
ton period should be not less than
twenty-one days from the date of erup-
ton. If it we're possible to obtain the
cooperation Of every one so that each
person exposed could also be isolated
for one week prior to possible eruption,
measles could undoubtedly be stamped
out promptly in any community.
Amador ledger., 1910-03-18

Health officers should instruct
teachers, librarians and persons re-
sponsible for public entertainments to
watch for children with the typical pre-
liminary cold symptoms and cough,
and each teacher should be encouraged
to require children, presenting these
symptoms from ten to fourteen days after
measles case has appeared in her
room, to remain at home until physi-
clan has passed judgment upon the
possibility of measles

The Panama Exposition.

San Francisco will have to fight for
the privilege of celebrating the compile
tion OF the Panama canal by a worlds
fair in 1915 The rival claimants are
San Diego and New Orleans. San Diego
claims to be the first to move for hold
ing an exposition in honor of the COM
pletion Of the big ditch. A call has
been issued for holding conference in
Santa Barbara to settle the controversy
between the two California claimants.
San Diego rejects this proposed settle
ment, as the following telegram will
show:
San Diego, Cal. March IS.
To Amador Ledger, Jackson: Your
attention is invited to the fact that San
Diego was not consulted before the call
for the Santa Barbara conference to
settle the exposition controversy, and
that Santa Barbara is divided regarding
the propreety of such action. We re-
fuse to be bound by outcome and protest
against political trick devised for our
injury. San Diego guarantees EXPOSE
ton that will be credit to state and has
asked no outside assistance. D. c.
Collier, director general Panama Cali
forna exposition.
We do not know anything about the
merits of the respective claimants as re-
CARDS priority, but must say that San
Francisco seems to he by far the most
suitable place for holding a worlds
fair Either San Diego will finally give
way to its bigger rival, or the chances
are that the gulf city will carry off the
prize, an outcome which would be re-
GREETED by the entire Pacific coast.
