Salt Lake. Last night he promised his
support to the Midland Trail and de-
clared that he would be able to route
next spring with passable road, mora
than three-quarters of the automobiles
this way. He is one of the foremost
leaders in the good roads movement in
Utah and his influence in motor circles
is probably more powerful than that
of any other sing. man in that state.
Another unusually pleasing address
was that Of Austin Gavin, the original

CUBA UNDER MARTIAL LAW
TROOPS LEAVE AS AMERICAN
MARINES LAND.
Gen. Monteagudo Withdraws Soldiers
From All Properties Guarded
by Uncle Sam.

Havana-President Gomez issued
decree suspending the constitutional
guarantees throughout Cuba. This
places all Cuba under martial law.
President Gomez had been author
lied by a bill passed by both houses
of congress to suspend the constitu-
tional guarantees. All captured negro
Insurgents will be dealt with suInrsa-
rily by federals while the decree is in
force.
The first clash between Cuban and
United States authorities over the
landing of United States marines on
Cuban soil came when General Mon
teagudo, commander-in-chief of the
Cuban forces, began withdrawing
troops fro mall properties guarded by
American marines, after issuing
proclamation saying that the Ameri-
can troops had been landed without
an invitation from the Cuban govern
ment
Indignation was expressed here
over the landing of 450 American ma
rines at Ciamanora. AntiAmerican
politicians seized the opportunity to
denounce the United States govern
ment, declaring that Americans evi-
IDENTIFY intend to intervent here, de-
spite assurances to the contrary.
Word from Guantanamo that United
States marines had arrived there from
Deseo Point added to the hostile SEN
timent. Detachments of American
marines are being moved into the in
terror of Santiago, Camaguries and
Oriente provinces.

BOARD OF HEALTH
SAVES MUCH MONEY
CONTRACTS MADE FOR ANTI-TOX-
ms AND SERUMS.
DID COST $3.50 PER DOSE
Board Of Health Will Provide a Depot
in Every Town in the State and Fix
Prices Two-Thirds Less
Than Formerly.

Jacksen.-The State Board of Health
awarded the contracts for the supplying
of the state dispensaries with the serum
of diphtheria and typhoid vaccine.
AS an illustration of what this means
to the state, and to the people who are
unfortunate enough to require the use
of these medicines, it may be stated
that under the new arrangement, just
five dollars dose is saved on diphtheria
anti-toxin. As matters have stood in
the past it cost $3.50 for 5000 "units,"
which is just about enough for case
of diphtheria. Under the contract with
the National Vaccine and Anti Toxin
Institute, that same quantity of diph-
theri& serum will cost $3.50. It is a
very expensive remedy to manufacture;
must be kept fresh, and the loss on
throwing old stuff away is large.
The anti toxin diphtheria will now be
sold by the dispensaries, which will be
established in every town of 500 inhabi-
tants at the following prices: 1000
units, 65 cents; 5000 units, $1.25; s.
900 units, $3.50; 10000 units, $500.
Typhoid vaccine will be sold in $50
ampule" packages at 1915; and a 8 am
pule package costs $1.25; a three syringe
package, $2.00.
There will also be corresponding re-
duction in the price of the serums and
other anti toxins, tetanus and other BIZ
illogical products when desired for use
by the State Board of Health-such as
vaccine points, etc. The products for
Mississippi viii be put in package
with a distinctive color and the prices
will be marked upon them.

CUT IN TWO.
THREE OFFICERS AMONG LOST
Vendimaire Goes Down in 100 Fcet OF
Water Off French Coast When
Warships Are Engaged in Ma
neuvers With Submarines,

Cherbourg, France. - One of the
worst disasters in the long series
of accidents that has marked tha use
of submarines in the French ma y oc
Cured here when the submarine Ven
dimaire was struck by the batt'eship
Saint Louis and sank in 180 faet of
water.
There were three officers and "a
enlisted men on board the tiny craft
when she was sent to the bottom and
there is no hope any of them are
alive.
At the time the disaster occurred a
squad of battleships were engaged in
maneuvers with the submarine fleet
= According to the commander Il the
Saint Louis, large cash was cut in
the shell of the submarine and she
sank Immediately after she was
struck. AS soon as he reported the
nature of the accident a report was
sent to the ministry of marine at
Paris, stating that there was 40 pcs
sibility of saving any of those en-
board the vessel.
Within an hour after the accident
had been flashed here by wireless,
powerful machinery and dredges were
drried from the guard and divers
re sent out on the faste ess torpedo
oat in the harbor. The S~prs, how
ever, were able to desc c.ly a
short distance and reported to Ad-
miral Fournier that the only way Ct
bringing up the vessel we'sId be 70
drag tor' her with graphing hoohs.
The rapidity with which the vessel
sank indicated that her plates were
smashed and the submarine exLerts
here declared that even if the crew
succeeded in closing her waite -tignt
compartment they would be unable to
survive for any length of time.
The Vendimaire was the las. word
in submarine construction, but even
1.-THE newest devices equipped her for
an accident of this nature were he'd
to be insufficient to preserve her
crews lives for more than few
hours.
During the last few years more
than half a dozen French submarines
have either foundered through ST. uc-
tural defects or been sunk in COLI
sions.

KERN ACCEPTS FUNK STORY
REJECTS TESTIMONY OF MIL
LIONAIRE LUMBERMAN.
Case Review and Goes Over Evil
dence Before Committee.

Washington, d. C.-When Sena.
tor Kern of Indiana resumed nss dis
cussion of the Lorimer case in the
senate, urging the passage of the res
olution of the minority Of the Lori
mer committee that the seat of the
Illinois senator be declared obtained
by corrupt practices, he turned his
atteatj2n to the testimony cleaned
from the lengthy hearings.
He reviewed the testimony given
by Clarence S. Funk, general manager
of the International Harvester COM
pany, and by Edward Hines, the mil
lionaire lumber dealer, concerning a
conversation in the Union League
club of Chicago the day following Lor-
liners election. At that time, Funk
testified, Hines asked him to contrib
ute $4,000 toward making good the
100000 which Hines is said to have
told Funk was the cost of Lorimer's
election.
II am thoroughly convinced of the
absolute truth of the testimony of
Clarence " Funk" Kern declared.
'At the first opportunity he related
the circumstances of this meeting to
his superior officers, Mr.. Mccormick
and Edgar A. Bancroft, and later to
H. H. Kohlsaat. There is no earthly
reason why this man should have in
vented and repeated deliberate
falsehood.
"On the other hand, Edward Hines
never repeated his version of the con-
yersation to a single soul, save to his
attorneys, until he told it on the wit
ness stand before the committee"
The senator also reviewed the tes-
timony of Isaac Baker, of witness
named Hall, G. F. Weihe, Hines broth
er-in-law, and number 90 fthers.

AXMAN SLAYER SUSPECTED
MYSTERY SURROUNDS MURDER
OF KANSAS COUPLE.
Killing of RoIin Hudson and Wife
Similar to Bernhardt and Show
man Crimes Last Year.

Paola, Kas-In the murder of
Rollin Hudson and his wife last
Wednesday night strong similarity
with the Bernhardt mystery, near
Olathe, and the murder of Will Show
man, his wife and three children at
Ellsworth, Kas., last October is seen.
Developments today onl tended to
deepen the mystery OF HleScase A
stranger, a young man wearing a
blue serge coat and straw hat, ap-
peared at the Hudson cottage. About
him and the report that Mrs. Hudson
had a sweetheart clings the only ap-
parent thread to the murder mystery.
The husband had been i'll almost
from the date of his marriage in Mas
sillon, Ohio, two years ago, with con-
sumption. Once the wife had left
him because of this. That was be-
fore the couple moved to Paola. She
left him again in Paola-this time for
the reason Hudson told friend that
she was in love with another man.
But back of it all looms the strange
TACT that the Hudson cottage stands
only block from the railroad track,
as did the Snowman cottage, and that
between the coming of one train and
the departure of another, like in the
Snowman case, man stole into the
house and used an ak, or perhaps a
pick in this instance, as was used at
Ellsworth.

TITANIC CREW NOT DRILLED
Men Not Familiar With Handling of
Lifeboats Because of Their OBJ
lection to Demonstrations.

London-That the Titanic was
manned properly, that had the
crew been larger there would have
been no work for additional men and
they only would have been in each
others way, were the assertions made
by Harold A. Sanderson, director of
the White Star line, testifying in the
Board of Trades inquiry.
Sanderson admitted that the men
might not have been as familiar with
the lifeboats and their handling as
they should have been. but declared
that this was due to the great diff
Guilty encountered in inducing crews
to participate in boat drills.

lined for the formal dedication of the
monument which is being built on the
state capitol grounds to the women of
the Confederacy was carried out.
Arriving at the speakers stand,
which had been awninged and complete

colors, an artistic mingling of Stars
and Stripes with the Stars and Bars,
with very little delay the programme of
ceremonies was begun.
The principal grafton was delivered
by Rev. De Berniere Waddell of Merid-
ian, former commander-in-chief of the
division, who was more eloquent and
impressive than usual in paying tribute
to heroic womanhood.,
Following the principal addresses were
timely remarks by Mrs. S. E. F. Rose of
West Point, state president of the Mis-
sissippi division, U D. G, and by Miss
Annabelle Power of Jackson, secretary
of the council of Daughters of Confed-
crate Veterans, both of which were con-

After the speaking, which was inter-
spersed with musical selections, the
most interesting ceremony of the series

stone with full Masonic ritual, under
Grand Master J. Rice Williams of Me-
ridian. The space for the metallic case

souvenirs had been chiseled out in the
northeast corner of the base stone, about
which corner the grand master and his
aides were gathered.
The site of the monument is located
directly in front of the new capitol
building and when completed will cost

for the parade and ceremonies, anxiously
awaiting letup of the showers, a small
and faithful band of Confederates and

SSUES BOIL WEEVIL WARNING
FARMERS WILL NEED HELP IN
MAKING CROP THIS YEAR.
Bradford Knapp Tells the Demonstra-
tors to Get Busy, and Points Out
Way in Which They Can
Be of Assistance.

Jackson.-Dr. P. P. Garner, state
agent of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Indus
try, is sending out the following address
to demonstrators issued by Mr.. Brad
ford Knapp, special agent in charge of
the cooperative and demonstration farm
work:
To All Agents in Boil Weevil Territory,
Agents in Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas are now beginning to report the
first appearance of the boil weevil. We
have reason to hope that in a large part
of the weevil territory the emergence
will be light in the flooded sections along
the Mississippi river.
A light infestation always makes it
harder task to induce demonstrators and
co-operators to make a vigorous fight
on the oVer-winter weevl than in cases
where the emergence is heavy.
1t should be remembered that light,
early infestation may develop into a dis
astrous condition through failure on the
part of the farmer to make a fight, and
through unfortunate weather conditions
favorable to the weevil. Agents are
urged to extra vigilance and effort in
combating tendencies either to over
confidence or undue alarm.
If the season is normal and the farm
er adheres strictly to the instructions
issued from this office, he may feel con-
fdent of making cotton crop in the
face of the weevil. Insist upon the fol-
lowing points:
1. Picking the over-winter weevils
by hand from the terminal buds OF the
young cotton before the plant begins to
set squares.
2. AS soon as squares form, pick up
and destroy all infested squares, at least
one a week
ring wet spells and on alluvial
soils, this must be prosecuted with extra
vigilance and should be continued until
Aegnst l. On sandy uplal saring ~
riods OF drouth and great heat and in
semi-arid regions, it may be unnecessary
to do this work, but not otherwise I'm
der the last-named conditions constant
cultivation may suffice. BY picking up
the squares and proper cultivation good
paying crops of cotton may be produced
even with heavy weevil infestation and
an adverse season.
3. Intensive shallow cultivation should
be practiced except ON rich bottom lands
where cultivation may be deep until the
squares begin to set freely. As soon
as squares begin to set, cultivation of
all soils should be shallow. Cultivate
often enough to keep mulch of loose
earth from one to two inches deep to
conserve moisture. Moisture may be
needed later in the season.

MEETING OF INSPECTORS.
Pure Food and Feed Field Men Confer
With Blakeslee

Pure Food and Feed Field Men Confer
With Blakeslee.
Jackson.-Agricultural Commissioner
BIakeslee held meeting of his field
force of pure food inspectors to discuss
the campaign which is now being waged
by that, department to enforce the Mis-
sissippi pure food laws, and especially
to stop the shipping into this state of
unbranded, misbranded and untagged
fertilizers and feedstuff.
The Mississippi statutes are very
drastic in their requirements for feed
stuff and designate a very high degree
of food value and the temptation to the
dealers in Memphis, New Orleans, Mo-
bile and other places to ship stuff into
the state of an inferior grade is con-
siderable.

MAY WITHDRAW FROM STATE.
Surety Companies Don't Like the Recent
Decision.

Jackson.-There is strong probabil-
ity that several of the largest surety
and fidelity companies viii hereafter
refuse to write surety bonds for state
banks desiring to qualify as repositories
for state funds, as result of the de-
cision of the supreme court in the case
of w. H. Potter, receiever, VS.. the FL.
deity Deposit Company. This decision
is to the effect that the state cannot
surrogate right as a preferred creditor
in event of bank failure where the in
stitution is carrying state funds, and
that corporations furnishing surety to
state on such deposits, are in the same
attitude as any other creditor.

ent Mclean has made rule that chronic

otherwise the hospital would soon be
filed with them to the exclusion of all
Others. And in this connection the num-
Der of pellagrous patients offered the
hospital is something astonishing. DR..

many pellagrous victims were in the
