GREAT REFORMS
AT STATE ASYLUM
--T---e9 ''-.
COMING SESSION OF LEGIsLA.
TuRs, 1T IS SAID, WILL TAKE
THE MATTER IN HAND.

Atlanta, May 9.-Sweeping i'm
proyements and reforms in the state
insane asylum at Milledgeville will be
recommended to the state legislature
by the board of trustees of that insti-
tuition ttis summer.
Two things, it is declared; are alb
solutely necessary, if Georgia is to
rank with other enlightened and pro-
gressiFe commonwealths in handling
her unfortunate mentally defective
classes.
First, it is said, there is the need
OFF, building in which cases of So
called recent and acute insanity
may be treated apart from chronic pa
TENTS The other need is the estab-
lishment of an institution where the
feeble-minded may be trained and
where epileptics may he cared for.
Last year 3,347 patients were treat
ed at the asylum, showing an increase
of 147 over the preceding year But
during the past 12 months 4,202 pa
tientS were treated.
The total cost of conducting this
work was s450,3S8, which included $S,-
900 spent in erecting tuberculosis pa
villions. So the cost per day for
each patient is less than SO cents.
The board of trustees will urge the
legislature to allow at least so cents
per day for each patient The medi-
cal department of the sanitarium, it
is stated, is painfully handicapped by
a lack of funds and equipment.

'TAF AFFWORR|ED

CABINET DEyoTEs ENTIRE MORN

Rlous SITUATION.

Officers and Troops Resent Shooting

Washington, May 9.-The cabinet
devoted most of it's time to the Mexi-
can situation today.
Confidential dispatches and unoffi-
cial information that fighting at Jua-
rez was renewed was discussed at
length by President Taft and his ad-
visers. The intelligence was admit
ted to be alarming, but the president
and cabinet still hope for develop
ments which will bring ABOUT peace.
That American military commando
rrs on the border had become rest
less and apprehensive as the situation
at Juarez developed and were .desir-
GUS of taking more radical steps to
prevent the killing of Americans on
their own soil, was indicated by their
applications for modified orders. But
all such requests have brought renew
ed instructions to a. ide strictly by
the policy laid down from the begin
ming: To preserve the strictest kind
of neutrality; to keep American sol
diers out of Mexico and to endeavor
to move American civilians to places
of safety. In matters of details much
it still left to the discretion of Amer
ican commanders.
Wouldn't Aid Wounded.
Tue refusal Of Col Stever to permit
wounded men in fighting on the Mexi-
can side to be brought to. Ei Paso for
treatment was the result of objection
OF. the Mexican government. During
the fighting at Aqua Prieta the
wounded were admitted to Douglas on
the American side and the use of hos
pitals in that town was freely offered
to each side. 1t was on that occasion
that the Mexican government signified
its objections. In the event of either
side sustaining defeat so severe as
to impel the men to flee into the Unit.
ed States for refuge it.>is probable
that Stever would exercise his own
discretion as to whether they should
be permitted to cross the river. al
though if ne should decide in the affir-
native, soldiers would be uisarmed
and held temporarily as prisoners.
A paraphrase of the formal reply
OF Gen. Madero to Col Stever's pro-
test against firing into the United
States territory, attracter particular
interest. Madero hastened to make
known that he, greatly regretted such
firing, and he had taken all measures
TO avoid repetition of the incident.

sweep the main streets of Juarez. the
insurrectos waited until the first
break Of dawn to open fire. Cannonad-
ing continued slowly, the rebels using
their machine guns sparingly, while
tie sederals poured t2eir shells into
the insurrecto outposts. The range
of artillery fire was remarkably ac-
curate, their shells landing close to
the oncoming insurrectos and forcing
them to scatter in their advances. III
Navarro Is Confident.
Gen. Navarro is confident of holding
Juarez against the insurrectos, being
strongly intrenciled and amply armed
and provisioned.
Two Americans were shot within
two hours after the firing began. Mrs.

tumbling mustard. 1t is an an

plant grows to an extremely large

It bears a large number OF seeds,
which are oily and therefore live a

The best way to fight this weed
is to 90 onto the land in the fall

RUSSIAN THISTLE

The Russian thistle is not a true
thistle, but is tumble weed. 1t
entered the state about Is years ago
and has not been very rapidly dis
tributed. It, however, occurs in
some places on the summer fallows
and in other places to considerable
extent in waste land. In few
cases it is making trouble in wheat
fields.
The Russian thistle is an annual
that is, it goes to seed each year
and then dies down. Fortunately,
it makes its flowers and seed late in
the summer after the grain crop has
been removed. 1t should be pre-
vented from going to seed by being
cut after the grain has been taken
off. If it is allowed to go to seed,
the piles of weeds should be burned
and the young weeds killed by clean
cultivation.
Live stock, especially sheep, eat
the weed freely while it is young
and thrive we'll on it.
There is no great difficulty in
eradicating this weed if reasonable
care is taken.

EARLY DAY C0R0NERs.

Their inquests Covered a Wide Variety
Of Subjects.
It has been supposed and legal his
torians have told us that the Office of
coroner was originally instituted by
King Alfred with that of the sheriff.
both being designed to aid in keeping
the peace when the earls gave up the
wardships of the county. The legal
historians are wrong. according to DR..
F. ]. Waldo of the British Medico-
Legal society. who has traced the his
tory of the coroner and his ancient
Office as far back as the year 1874.
In early days the coroner had a
wider and more general Jurisdiction
than he now enjoys. Coroners were
wont to hold their views not only
upon deaths where an investigation
was considered necessary. but also
upon various serious crimes which
were treated as occasions for the rails
ing of revenue for the crown. The
mission of the coroner to the state
was not alone to investigate crimes
and bring felons to justice. He super
intended the forfeiture of money and
personal property by criminals to the
crown. for the recording Of which he
was responsible. These forfeitures
were not confined in cases of violence
and death to the property of the per-
son who could be held directly respon-
sible. but included animals and instru-
ments to which loss Of human life un.
