REFUSES To RENT To JEWS
YALE CORPORATION AGENT AD-
MlTS NEW RULE.
Applicant Is Refused and Informed
Owners Do Not Wish Members
of Race in Its Property.

Chicago, Ill.-Prominent members
of the Jewish race in Chicago
were surprised to learn that the Chi
cago agent for the Yale Corporation
of New Haven, Conn, which conducts
the Yale university, refused to rent
residence property owned by the cor
poration in Chicago to Jews. George
II. High, a real estate dealer in the
Chicago Savings Bank building, is the
agent, and admitted this was true.
The discovery was made by l.. L.
Singer, Chicago manager for the Fer
guson- McKinney Dry Goods company
of St Louis. His sister-in-law, Mrs.
Al Simon desired to rent an apart
ment at 5444 Michigan boulevard, but
was told by o. F. Gendtner, the rent
ing agent for the High concern, that
he could not allow her to have the
property, as the owners did not want
Jews on the premises. Gendtner said
Yale University owned the property.
High said he did not believe the
public had any business to know
whether he got his instructions from
the Yale Corporation or not. He said
that Yale had the privilege Of doing
this if it saw fit to do so.
Its nobody's business" he said.

New Jersey OFFICE to Be Con-

New York.-Plans for the distribu-
tion of stock of the thirty-four sub
sidiary companies of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey to conform
with the mandate of the United States
supreme court were made public here.
The company, after divesting itself
OF its subsidiaries, will be maintained
in its present corporate form with the

resigned as director of the Standard,
as he has not been active in the com
pany's affairs for some time past. His
successor has not been chosen.
In the distribution of stock each
share of each subsidiary company will
be divided into 9S3,3S3 parts For
each share of Standard Oil of New
Jersey stock the holder will receive
a fractional part of a share of stock
in 35 companies and a whole share OF
Anglo-American Oil stock
The basis of distribution was deter

REAPPORTIONMENT OF STATE
SENATOR SIMMONS GIVE SFACTS
AND FIGURES.
Claims That South Mississippi Has Not
Fair Representation Under the
Present Law.

Jackson.-One of the main advocates
of a constitutional convention, with the
idea of a reapportionment for South
Mississippi, is Senator w. T. Simomns,
of Mize, who has been devoting consid-
cradle study to the subject and col
Letting good deal of data of a val
liable nature.
As indicating the injustice in the ap-
portionment under section 256 of the
constitution, Senator Simmons has COM
piled the population of the three dis
tricts. The first district, beginning with
Tishomingo and ending with Oktibbeha,
has A representatives. The third dis
trict, beginning with Adams and end
ing with Claiborne, has 44f and the rest
of the state, South Mississippi, is given
A representatives, but on a basis of
population it has greatly outstrped
either of the other two sections, and
has a great deal more territory.
The districts as compiled by Senator
Simmons are as follows:
First District-Tishoming 13,067; Al
corn, 1896; Prentiss, 16,931; Lee, 2s.-

Second District-Franklin, 15,193; Lin
coin, 2s, z;4Lawrence, 13,0S0; JEFF Da-
Wis, 12,860; Covington, 16,909 Jones,

Third District--Adams, 1926; Amite,
22,954; Bolivar, As, ,905; Coahoma, 34,-
217; DeSoto, 23,13O; Hinds, 63,726;

46,672; Claiborne, 174o3. Total, 679,-
21S.
1t will thus be seen that the South
Mississippi district comes very nearly
having as much population according to
the federal census as both of the other
two, yettis held to the same representa-
ton, not taking into consideration the
immense area of territory.

TO KEEP OUT THE DUST
Veitlike Cloth That viii Relieve
Housekeeper of Much Worry
and Labor.

There is perennial joke about the
dust gathering on mantle where the
mistress calls the attention of the
fact that she can write her name in
It," getting an answer, with the in
herent wit, of how great it must be
to have the advantage of an educa-
ton"
II one were to look further into
this it, will also be seen that it is
necessary for one to become educated
to the requirement or remedy that
the fact of the dust's presence indi-
Gates and that requirement is the ex-
Guiding of the dust to the best OF
ones knowledge and ability
AS the wire screen is manufac-
tured to exclude the fly, so Is there a
veil-like cloth texture of net, though
slightly rougher and much cheaper,
which can be applied to the use OF
keeping out the ever present dust to a
very great extent.
The low price of this article, which
can be purchased at almost any dry
goods store or counter, places 1t with
in the reach of practically everyone,
and when one thinks of the fearful
toll of human life that dust-carried
germs are wont to take, there will be
no hesitation in applying this as well
as any other remedy that may come
to our notice during our daily routine.
This material can be tackled on the
inside of screens and if one resides on
very dusty street it can be doubled
for better effect. AS it does not ex-
clude the light or air but is effective
where the dust is concerned. 1t will
be availed of all the more quickly
when it is known that it also pre-
cludes the entering of the much-hated
malarial mosquito.
Where the dust is extremely heavy
in the street it is the best plan to do
all the ventilating only from the back
Of the house and it is seldom that
draughts cannot be caused to clean
out the air in the veriest cranny-lika
closet or wardrobe
