BIG PACKING HOUSE FAILS
Had Exclusive Right to Slaughter
Cattle in Mexico.

New York.-The Mexican National
Packing Company, a New Jersey corpora
ton, controlled by English investors, and
operating a string of slaughter houses
and packing houses in the Republic of
Mexico, under concessions from the Mexi-
can government, failed Wednesday, with
liabilities, including stock, of approx
mately $37, 10000, ooo.
The assets were not announced, but it
is estimated that they are in excess OF
the liabilities. The company will con-
tinue to operate its plant as usual. Henry
De Kay was appointed receiver by Judge
tanning in the United States Circuit
Court in New Jersey this afternoon.
The appointment of a receiver was not
brought about by any conditions in the
live stock market, but the tying up of
part of the c%ompany's funds in the
United States Banking Company in Mex
leo City, which suspended recently, was
responsible for the trouble.
Among the concessions held by the
company is an exclusive right to slaugh-
ter cattle in Mexico City until 1926. It's
share of capital is s22, 100000, and it has
a bonded debt secured by mortgage of
about S12, 5OO,0 900 and a floating debt in
the neighborhood of So, 000, 900,

Stirling Wins Lumber Suit.

Attorney General Stirling states that
while he will resign, he has not as yet
formally placed his resignation in the
hands of the governor, and the time at
which he will take this formal step is
rather indefinite. He is DESTROYS OF wind
ing up a number of matters now pend
inc, or leaving them in such shape as to
cause little or no worry to whoever may
be appointed to succeed him, and this
may require some weeks of time. Tues
day the Attorney General returned from
Lexington, where he attended the term
of chancery court, where the case of the
retail lumber dealers was argued before
Chancellor McCool. This is the noted
case entitled State vs.. the Grenada Lum-
Der Company, being the bill filed IN chan
Gerry court of Holmes county to enforce
the payment of the statutory penalties
incurred bv the retail lumber firms who
declined to settle with the state, as did
some twenty others who were in the
same list at the time they were declared
to be an unlawful organization, in viola
ton OF the antitrust statutes, as COM
posing the Retail Lumber Dealers Assoc
citation of Mississippi and Louisiana.
The result was an in~terlocutory order
by the court in favor of the state, from
which the defendants entered a demurrer,
and upon which they sought to effect an
appeal to the supreme court, which the
chancellor denied, and this question will
be referred to the supreme court Judges
in the shape of a motion or suggestion,
who may determine whether or not the
defendants are entitled to an appeal.
This is a notable victory for the state,
and means much to the attorney general,
who has devoted much time to a study of
the case in all its aspects, and was pref
ty well satisfied of ms grounds when he
entered the penalty suit now pending.

EXPLOSION IN Mine
HEARTRENDING SCENES AS MU-
TILATED BODIES COME UP.
Force of the Explosion Was Ter
rife; Many Bodies We're
Unrecognizable.

Drakesboro, Ky.-With crepe hanging
on every other door along the two strag-
Cling streets of the little mining town OF
Browder and motley funeral corteges
headed by all sorts of improvised hearses
moving toward the cemetery, Wednesday
was largely given over to placement OF
deaths work in the Elk Valley coal mine.
There was no attempt at holding divine
services over the mangled bodies.
Rescue parties were going up and down
in the mine all day, but no further finds
were made during the afternoon, the
last body being brought up at 1890 pm.
This brought the count of the dead to
thirty-four, with one man, Foreman Peter
Kelly, missing. The count made by mine
officials this afternoon definitely fixes
the total as above stated. Fifty-five men
were in the area affected by the explo-
sion and of the twenty who got out alive
scarcely one was unhurt.
As a result of the disaster, all of the
mines in the vicinity closed down today,
the men offering their services in rescue
work.
The news of the explosion spread rap
idly and in a few moments the people OF
the little mining town were crowding
around the shaft wildly. Women and
children, almost crazed with grief, plead
ed with those in charge of the mine for
news. of their loved ones, and it was al
most impossible to keep the mouth OF
the shaft clear. Fortunately the fire,
which started by the explosion, died out
quickly, and the fans were at once set In
motion. A few moments after the disas-
ter a relief party, headed by Andrew
Hogg, viee-president and general manager
of the Elk River Coal Company, and
composed of the men who had escaped
from the mine, as well as numbers of
miners from other workings, entered the
wrecked shaft.
The rescue party found a scene of de-
struction that left no doubt as to the
fate of the men. The first bodies recov-
cred were in fairly good condition, the
men having been smothered to death and
not mangled by the explosion, but as
the party pushed ON they found bodies
so mutilated that they were u~nrecogniza-
BILE. Cars and debris of all descriptions
had been scattered about the mine by
the terrible force of the explosion.

KENTUCKY JOINS VIRGINIA.
Wants Money From Uncle Sam for
Coded Lands.

Frankfort, Ky.-Stirred by the sugges-
ton from a Virginia state official, Ken
lucky probably will join its voice to that
of Virginia in demanding reimbursement
from The federal government for the land
ceded for the creation of the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and a
part of Minnesota. 1t is claimed that
the condition of the grant has been vio-
lated, that the parceled land was put to
local purposes instead of being "for the
use and benefit of the other states of the
federation" as was originally intended.
Kentucky was a part of the Old Do
minion at the time, as was West Vir-
ginia. The information reaching here is
that each of the states would be entitled
to about one-sixth of the amount claimed
by Virginia, or So, 200, 600.

UNCLE JOE CANNON SCORED
His Habit of Swearing Attacked by
DIR. bearing.

st. Louis.-Before LAOS delegates in
attendance at the Layman's Missionary
Congress here, the Rev. DIR. j. l.. bearing,
from Japan, attacked Speaker Cannon
during an address, because of the pro-
family with which the speaker is popu-
larly credited. DIR. bearing said he be-
lieved morning prayer would work a Won
derful change in the speaker.
81 know a japanese count" he said,
"who, when congratulated upon his sue
cess as a legislator, said his success was
due entirely to his habit of barring his
head and praying every morning.
''Since arriving in America" continued
DR.. bearing, 1--WE wondered whether
many problems would not be solved if
Uncle Joe Cannon be brought around to
give the same testimony.

MILLIONS FOR DRY DOCKS.
Dreadnaughts Necessitate Enlarging All
Repair Shops.

Washington.-The "~dreadnaught" type
of battleship necessitates the enlarge
ment of all the dry docks of the United
States, which will cost one or two million
dollars, according to a statement of Sec
rotary of the Navy Meyer.
Secretary Meyer told the house naval
committee that a new dry dock was
needed at Norfolk at a cost of two mil
lion dollars; that the New York dry
dock would have to be enlarged at a cost
of one million; that the one at Pearl
Harbor, which is being built at a cost or
two millions, should be enlarged at a
cost of $425,Oo0, and that the dock at
Puget Sound should be widened at an
additional cost of 1925, 600.

Cannot Increase Appropriations.

Governor Noel's special message to the
legislature dealing with the states iinan-
cial condition set the members OF that
body to thinking, and sheds some new
light on the numerous revenue and APP
preparation bills now pending before that
body.
Briefly stated, the governor has shown
that the legislature cannot make IN
creased appropriations at this session
without also increasing the state tax
levy, or negotiating a bond issue.
The educational interests are clamorine
for larger allowances, all of the colleges
and eleemosynary institutions have asked
for larger sums, and the lawmakers must
arrange to meet special expenditures that
heretofore have not been reckoned with.
For instance, the common school fund
has been increased nearly $325,000, and
the Confederate pension fund $4,000.
these items alone being sufficient to more
than consume the normal increase OF
revenues for the next two years, as COM
pared with the former biennial period.
1t is extremely doubtful whether the
legislature will consent to an increase OF
the state tax levy, which is nov six mills,
and the only other solution that suggests
itself is to authorize a bond issue for
from $500, 900 to 100000, in order that
increases in appropriations may be pro-
yided for.

Dies Trying to Save Child.

Montgomery, Ala.-While desperately
attempting to %extinguish the burning
clothing of her 4-year-old daughter, Mrs.
+. P. Williams, wife of a carpenter, was
10 badly burned that she died a few
minutes afterwards. The little girl was
playing before an open CRATE when her
clothing caught fire. On seeing the flames,
the frantic mother seized the child in
her arms and rushed from the house.
She was found a few minutes later in
the yard dead, but the child was unin-
iured.

JACKSON.
ALEXANDER Is OUT Of THE RACE.
Conservatives Caucus on Which Candi-
date TO Eliminate.


The process of elimination which has
been in progress among the followers OF
the opposition to the Vardaman contin-
gent, starting with the withdrawal OF
w. d. Anderson and followed by that OF
Judge Critz, was still further advanced
by the withdrawal of c. II. Alexander
from the race, which was the feature OF
the caucus Friday afternoon.
The retirement of Mr.. Alexander fol-
lowed a caucus of the senators and rep
r%esentatives with the four candidates in
opposition to Vardaman.
Between ninety and a hundred men as
sembled, they having been notified that
there was to be an important confer
ence with the conservative" candidates.
There were no others admitted to the
caucus, and just what occurred by way
of getting at the matter OF determining
who should drop out was not stated. The
proposition was the elimination OF either
Mr.. Percy or Mr.. Alexander, and, as un
derstood, a ballot was taken, which re-
suited in the withdrawal of Mr.. AleXan-
der.
Mr.. Alexander accepted the result in
characteristic g~ood-humored vein, thank
ing the men who had stood by him from
the start of his canvass and urging them
to stand together for the other men on
that side.
This being over, and the fact com
municated to the caucus, the balloting
was begun, and the first ballot showed
a pickup all around, the thirty or more
Alexander votes having been variously
distributed, though those profting most
were Messrs. Percy and Kyle, Vardaman
securing several, as estimated by his fol-
lowers.
The second ballot of the evening show
ed a rather more decided gain for the eX-
governor, who attained to his maximum
for the series with a total of rs, and was
within ten votes of the nomination, the
nearest he has approached to that much
desired goal as yet.
Speaker Street continues to receive a
few votes on each ballot, and it remains
to be seen just what figure he will cut
during the next few days. He himself
is in a quiescent state of mind regarding
the matter.
The caucus adjourned until Monday
night, but the chances are there will not
be another ballot before Wednesday
night, as enough members will be at
Mardi Gras to break the quorum Monday
and will hardly return to Jackson before
Wednesday.
Forty-second Ballot - Nardaman rs,
Percy As, Kyle 25, Byrd %, Street 4,
Scattering 3.
Fortv-third Ballot-Vardaman rs, Per
cy As, Kyle 81, Byrd II, Street 3, Hum
phreys /, Critz /, Alexander 2.

TREASURY DEFICIT lessons
Customs Receipts and Internal Rev
enue Increasing.

Washington.-An increase in round
numbers in customs receipts of $32, 000,-
600 and in internal revenue of 100000
600, but a deficit in the ordinary receipts
of the government of S25,0oo,0Oo, against
$64, 900 last year, shows the result
of the first seven months operations of
the treasury for the fiscal year 1910, as
compared with the corresponding period
of the preceding year. Panama canal dis
bursements, not included in the above
calculations, have amounted to $%19,136,-
o53, as compared with only $12,529,9s4
during the seven months last year.
The public debt increase during the
month of January was ~$1,460,S19. The
working balance in the treasury today
was $22,737,652. The cash in the treas
ury today amounted to $1,715,435,391.

TO Be PR0BEO
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
TO INQUIRE INTO COST.
Will Inquire Whether Prices Have
Been Affected by Any Laws
of the Country.

Washington.-The cost of living in the
United States is to be thoroughly in
CURED into by the house of representa-
tives through its most powerful commit
tee, the ways and means. Representa-
tive Payne of New York, chairman of
that committee, and majority leader in
the house, introduced his resolution pro-
viding for an investigation along the
broadcast lines.
The committee is to inquire into any
alleged increase in the cost of the neces-
saries of life, some of which, such as
clothing, fuel, furniture, meats and food
stuffs, are enumerated. Wholesale and
retail prices and rates of profit are to be
investigated. The question of whether
the tariff is responsible for the alleged
high cost of living is covered in a gem
eral provision 'as to whether prices are
affected, increased or otherwise by any
laws of the United States" The hearings
of the committee will be open to the
public. 1t may sit anywhere in the Unit
ed States and summon and swear wit
uesses.
The bill provides for "a thorough and
complete investigation of the present UNI
reasonable and unnecessary advancing
prices. made by meat packers and of the
reported boarding of live stock in West
ern yards, of the refusing of large orders
and the holding of supplies in f%reezers to
create the impression of a shortage"
The committee, which is to consist of
six senators and six members of the
house, is authorized to call upon any
court in the United States to enforce
the orders of the committee and compel
replies to questions put to witnesses.

BOYCOTT CLAIMS VICTIM.
Without Meat Four Days, Chokes to
Death When He Gets It.

Chicago.-At least one death in Chi
cago can be charged up to the boycott on
meat. After a vegetarian diet for four
days, Golf Peller could resist no longer,
began ravenously upon a huge beefsteak
and choked to death on almost the first
mouthful. He purchased a large steak,
cooked it himself, and combining it with
a loaf of bread, made a giant sandwich.
Two fellow workmen were present, and
Peller imagined they were envying him
the meal. you fellows are not going
to get any of this; it is too good to
waste" he said, and then he began to
chew. A piece of the steak lodged in
his throat, and although the three men
did their best to pull it out, Peller died
before a physician could arrive.
