ATTORNEY-GENERAL BALKS.
Election Commissioner Is Only Person
Able to Decide.

Jacksonville repeated inquiries
from all parts of the state regarding
the qualifications of voters during the
coming primaries has resulted in the
taking of action on the part of At
torney-General Hudson's office that was
only to be expected. Hereafter all in
quiries will not be subjected to rigid
examination by Assistant Attorney
General Carl Fox, but will be referred
to the election commissioners of the
districts from which the queries come.
I'VE get hundreds of queries, all
alike in their general nature, and while
we can tell them what the law says
regarding the elections, we cannot de-
termine whether they have stated the
facts in the cases properly. We have
therefore decided to let the commits
sioners of each election district investi
gate these matters and determine who
shall be permitted to vote, after having
been properly instructed in the mean
ing of the property qualifications of
voters
One of the most serious problems
that has confronted the attorney-gen-
erals office is that of changes in resi-
dence of the voters, and the election
commissioners are the only persons who
can properly inquire into whether this
change in every individual case, is to
be permanent or only temporary.

WAR ON ROLLER TOWEL.
Travellers Want 1t Abolished in the
Hotels of This State.

Jacksonville roller towel, according
to the Mississippi travellers, is favorite
roosting place for disease germs of all
kinds, and the hotel that cannot pro-
vide individual towels for its guests is
mighty poor place to stop at.
Therefore, the roller towel must go,
or the travelling men will go to places
where it is not in evidence, and they
believe that a large majority of the
hostelries in the state will accede to
their request and provide individual
towels for their guests.
The Mississippi state board of health,
and members of the medical fraternity
generally, cordially agree with the
travelling men that the roller towel is
a menace to public health, and ought
TO be abolished.
That bacteria has been communi-
sated through roller towels rscd indis-
criminatGly by guests at hotels and
boarding houses is the testimony OF
every physician who knows anything on
the subject, and the travelling men Of
Mississippi believe that majority of
the hotels will Immediately comply with
their request.
Il, however, they should fail to re
fuse to do so, the Mississippi Travellers
will memorabilia the legislature to pass
a law on the subject, and it goes with
out saying that when the knights of
the grip go before the lawmakers with
their demand they will get what they
want At least, this has been the case
in the past, and it will doubtless be in
the future whenever they submit rea-
sonable requests, as they have done in
the past.

City OF Misunderstanding started in
the capital at dark and it is difficult
ndw to foretell just what is In store
fot the city.
Reports tell of serious rioting in
Z&catecas. Tehuantepec and Guadala-
jdra.
The populace had been intensely ex-
cited all day and when Diaz failed to
SIND in his resignation the crowd in
the chamber of deputies became pn-
r4ly. Following this handbiIls were
distributed saying Diaz would not re-
siEn.
This was greeted with shouts of dis
may and the demonstration was soon
under way.
Soldiers and police fired on a mob
a Maderists who had gathered in the
3bcalo in front of the national palace.
1he number of dead and wounded is
said to be fully half . hundred. The
mob was merely scattered by the
shooting, continuing to parade through
the streets shouting Viva Madero."
Shortly after this q mob attacked
he building Of the Ell ImpArcial, sec
md time setting it on fire. The po-
lice fired on the rioters. Estimates
of the number killed range from z
to Is and the number of wounded is
placed at between 40 and so.
General Porfirio Diaz did not resign
from the presidency of Mexico. as it
had been announced that he would.
and rioting began in the Avenida Isa-
bel Catolica about O'Clock A mob
headed by two women carrying a pho
tograph of Madero stopped before the
presidents house and jeered the
mounted soldiers, who dispersed them
The mob quickly gathered elsewhere
and continued the demonstrations.
The demonstrants gathered in
crowds ranging from 200 to 1000.
Their numbers were considerably aug
mented, and while there had been no
reports OF physical violence. citizens
considered the situation grave and
predicted serious consequences.

Fifty Mississippians to Attend Sunday.
School Convention.

Jackson.-Mississippi will be well rep
resented at the annual international Sun
day school convention which is to be held
At San Francisco next month, according
to Secretary W. Fred Long, of the State
Sunday School Association.
Mr.. Long prophesied that at least so
actual delegates from Mississippi schools

possible that at least score of other
state Sunday school workers would prob
ably take ADVANTAGE of the cheap rail-
road rates which will prevail.
Arrangements have been made for q
special sleeper from Jackson for the nse
of the Mississippi delegation, and this
will be made a part of the special inter
national train leaving New Orleans on
the night of June 14th. A special day
car will be provided for the use of the

Hattiesburet Naturally interested Il
: broad sense in the development Of
South Aiiasissippi and especially inter-
sstsd in it, agricultural development, the
officials and directors Of the Mississippi
Central Railway and the Newman Mil
ing Company take advantage Of every
opportunity to study and investigate
work done in this section of the state
along development lines. With this end
in view, a party of officials and others
went by special train to inspect the ex-
perimental farm established only few
months ago by the Mississippi Farms
Company, which has charge of the cut
over lands of the Finkbine Lumber Com
pany.
The Finkbine Lumber Company owns
about $4,000 acres of land about Wig
gins, half of which has been cut over.
This land comprises some of the most
fertile in South Mississippi, and while
individual effort had shown that it would
produce in abundance practically all of
the crops of the temperate zone and was
also adapted to the growing of Satsuma
oranges, California grapes, figs and Pc
cans of finest quality in abundance, the
Finkbine officials realize that scientific
work would give better results and that
an experimental farm within easy reach
OF their Virgins offices would give in
vestors and hoineseekers better idea Of
what could be accomplished and would
prove an especially good advertisement
also, SO they sought out first-class man
to manage the farm and set aside a
generous sum to clear and fence the
lands, erect necessary buildings, pur-
agricultural improvements.

House Passes Joint Resolution for Ad-

Vote on Constitution.

Washington. ID. C.-After many
attempts to amend the Arizona and
New Mexico statehood resolution in
keeping with the sentiments which
have been expressed by both sides of
the chamber during the long general
debate. the house passed the measure
UNANIMOUSLY without a roll call.
The resolution requires Arizona TO
vote on an amendment removing the
recall provisions it applies TO judges.
and requires New Mexico to vote on
an amendment making its constitution
more easily amendable in the future.
Neither state is required 20 adopt the
amendments progressed BY congress.
Whether they are approved or rejected
by the proposed referenduns. the con-
situations of the new states will stand
finally approved when the respective
votes have been taken.
Immediately preceding the final vote
Minority Leader Mann had demanded
q roll call on his motion TO recommit
the resolution with instructions to
eliminate the recall as applied to
judges and the proposition requiring
the people of New Mexico 10 vote
again on the section of their constitu-
ton relating TO amendments. This
motion was lost by a vote OF PA to
81. On this vote 33 Republicans Joined
with the Democrats. all of whom voted
against recommitting the bill.
In view of many assaults made by
both Republicans and Democrats on
the recall of judges. all of which We're
geserously applauded on the Demo.
cratic side of the house. the Republi-
can leaders had hoped that an amend
ment might be adopted requiring the
people of Arizona TO eliminate this
statehood.
