throughout last night They served to
warm the refugees, and II was hoped they
would attract the attention Of passing
boats. The hope was fulfilled. for the
FIRST reports received at Memphis of the
plight Of the Wyanoke people came as a
result Of the fires having been seen.
AT first fear Of contamination prevented
the refugees from drinking river water
on Sunday Later small Quantities Of
fresh water were obtained. but not enough
to supply the needs River water was
therefore strained and used as last ex-
tremity. Medicines were administered to
ward off illness as soon as the refugees
reached camp at Memphis. Several per-
sons were taken to hospitals.

ULSTER Halls THE TORY
Prepares Big Welcome for Bonsr
Law, Unionist Leader.

London April 9.-When Winston
Churchill went TO Ulster in February he
was huddled into Belfast and struggled
out of it. Andrew Bonar Law has had
an almost regal reception on his first
visit To Ireland as leader Of the OPPOSE
ton.
IF this is I.arnc. what will Belfast bs
like" he exclaimed as, after struggling
with a mass of unanimously acclaiming
men and women, he reached the special
train by which he travelled TO the capital
of Ulster.
There were men in the crowd who re-
membered Lord Randolph Churchilps
famous progress over this same route TO
the Ulster city in 1856, and they all agree
that Mr.. Bonar Laws reception ex-
ceeded that one alike in size and In en-
thusiasm. The increase In numbers IL
explainable by the mere lapse of years,
for this part Of Ireland. contented. pros
porous and law-abiding under imperial
rule, has greatly grown In population
and wealth since Gladstone destroyed
the Liberal party for generation by his
Home Rule proposals.
The added warmth Of the welcome
may be accounted for partly because
Ulster Is more determined than ever not
to have Home Rule and partly because
Mr.. Bonar Law is himself by ancestry
a North of Ireland man.

Memphis. April S--Rescuc boats stu

knobs. housetops and in a church since the
levee broke twelve miles south Of Memphis
on Saturday Many were thinly clad. All
were suffering from hunger and thirst Sew
sral hundred had arrived tonight. and i:
was expected that by morning the number
would be not less than a thousand.
The inundation Of a portion Of the north
ern section Of Memphis, populated largely
by negroes, has ceased; the water has re-
coded, vacating houses; streetcar traffic
through that part Of the town has been re-
sumed. and the people are preparing to
move back into their homes.
The first Of the Wyanoke refugees TO be
rescued was an assembly OF about One
hundred persons. They were in a church,
where they had taken refuge when The
ievee broke Their supplies Of provisions
were scanty. When il was seen that the
water would invade the church a scaffold-
int was built Of pewe. and on this platform
more than twoscorc pcrchcd throughout
Sunday.
Attempts to get food were made by the
strongest Of the men. who constructed RATS
and explored the nearest part Of the town

The plight Of these people and OF others
nearby on roofs Of houses, on RATS and
on small hills now become islands, was
reported TO the Memphis authorities carly

Ohio MIX Supply in Danger.

Columbus. "a serious situation
faces the cities of Ohio with refer
ence to their milk supply, and the con-
ditions are likely to grow worse If
the present system of inspection is
adhered to-" said State Dairy and
Food Commissioner Strude.
Strobe said that scarcoiy any two
cities of the state have &le same re-
quirements under which dairymen
must sell their milk, and this lack of
uniformity in rules and regulations
has resulted in such confusion and
discomfort among dairymen that they
are seeking other means of marketing
their product. Some of them are out
of the dairy business entirely Others
convert the cream into butter and
feed the residue to stock, while many
ship their milk to creameries and
cheese factories.
Territory from which the milk
supply Of the large cities is drawn
contains many smaller cities which
must also be supplied" said Strobe.
"If the dary regulations of all these
cities differ materially, it is impossi
BILE for darymen to comply with the
requirements of all cities in given
territory, no matter how anxious they
may be to do so.

$4,000 Saved the State.

Columbus. - Management of it's 18
charitable and penal institutions by
the state board of administration has
saved the state of Ohio more than a
quarter of million dollars during the
past year.
Under the Russell law, enacted at
the last session of the legislature,
the management of the 18 state instl-
tutions passed from control Of 18 sep
arate boards Of trustees to a single
central board of four members. In
stead of being managed separately
without relation to each other, the in
stitutions came to be operated as
correlated system.
From its office at the state capitol
the board substituted efficiency for po.
litical pull in appointing officers and
employees, eliminated graft, established
a uniform system of accounting, abol-
ished waste and economical by pur-
chasing supplies and equipment by
car lots where before they had been
bought by the dozen or barrel.
The result, as shown BY E. F.
Brown, the fiscal agent for the state
board of administration, has been a
total saving for the year ending Aug
ust Is, 1912, of $267,9S1.
or this sum, $1S5,463 was saved by
economies in the maintenance Of the
10000 inmates of the 18 institutions,
tho noot in 1911 I,pdor tbo old cvcf nm
being $3,364,85S as compared with
$3,179,394 under the management Of
the state board of administration.
Another big item of saving, $6S,S54,
is accounted for by the decrease OF
expenditures for repairs and improve
ments from $356,702 to $2S7S4S.
The remainder, $s3,327, represents
the value of increased amounts of sup
plies on hand.
AS matter of fact, the gross de.
crease in cost of administering these
institutions has been $337645, but
from this must be deducted $69,664,
the total expense of the state board of
administration itself to the state. OF
this sum, $53,951 represents salaries
of the board members and employees
and the rest, $15,712, travelling ex'
penses and miscellaneous expendi.
