Memphis at 500 a. m, and due in
Little Rock at 3:55 p. m, was derail-
ed at .3:45 yesterday afternoon just
inside the yards, about two and one
half miles from the depot, three
coaches being almost demolished and
six persons slightly injured.
The accident is believed to have
been caused by a split switch The
engine and baggage car passed over
safel!A but the next car left the
track, followed by the two rear
coaches, and bumped along the ties
for short distance and were "side-
swiped" by a string Of freight cars
standing on an adjoining track. The
entire side of one coach was torn
away, another was reduced almost
to kindling wood and a third was
badly damaged.
Thu train, which was in charge of
Conductor William Green, of Mem
phis, and Engineer w. f. Wilson, Of
Little Rock, was brought to stand
still as quickly as possible, and news
of the wreck telephoned to the gen
eral offices of the Iron Mountain in
Little Rock, A wrecking and relief
train was made up and quickly dis
patched TO the scene, having on board
DR.. W. F. Smith, division surgeon,
NJ E. McCaskill and Theodore Fried
man, who cared for the injured.
In the meantime, passengers and
the train crew did what they could
to relieve those who had been hurt
J. AS soon as the injured were removed
the work of clearing away the wreck
age was started, and the south
bound track, which was torn up for
distance Of about 200 feet, was
temporarily repaired, and the track
was clear by midnight.
All the passengers were more or
4 less shaken up by the cars leaving
the track and the impact with the
\ freight cars, and it was an exceeding
ly narrow escape from very serious
wreck.

Memphis, Tenn, June 5.-Speaking
to the Tennessee Colored Medical
Association in session here, Mr.
Frank H. Bothel an expert of the
United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry, said
That physicians, knowing the
source of pure milk supply, should
not hesitate to frankly recommend
such milk and in every measure as
sist in the support of dairies comply
ing with the standards ser by law"
Mr. BotheB also declared that the
physicians should be just as open and
frank in their condemnation of
sources of milk supply which they
knew was beloi- standard and proba-
bly, dangerous.
Mr. Bothell explained that the ex-
penses of maintaining a certified milk
ID ant were so heavy that unless the
owner received the support of the
physicians and the community at
large it was practically an impossible
ty for him 10 operate for any length
of time.
Investigation has shown us" he
! declared, that about rs per cent.
of the certified milk plants are OPP
Grating at no profit A great many
of them are losing heavily
Another point strongly emphasize d
by Mr. Eothe was that certified milk
dairymen were often iaclnad to in
vest too much in their machinery
1t is not so much the elaborate equip
ment he declared, as the cleanliness
and care that produce coed certified
milk He told of visiting one plant
near Memphis where every care and
precaution was taken until it came
Ito the actual botting of the liquid
1T was on this last, finishing touch,
he explained, that this dairyman un
did all of the good he had accom-
plished The bottles hadn't beer
cleaned sufficiently and were con
terminating the product"
Mr.. BotheE also explained severa
systems of purifying milk for the
market He was very complimentary!
to the spirit and civic pride thai
prompted the appointment of the mill
commission. This should be a grea
boon to the city, he said.
At the conclusion of his talk MI
Botheil was accorded vote o
thanks.

COUNCIL REDUCES
LIMITS Of CITY
Grants Permission to Paint Big Sign
of vinita Where It Can Be Seen
From Train on Both Roads.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
city council was held at the hall last
night, with but five members present,
Mayor Starr presiding. The resigna-
tion of L. C. Couch, alderman from the
first ward, who recently removed to
California, was read and accepted and
B. G. Chandler was elected to fill the
unexpired term. This makes the sec
ond vacancy to be filled in the first
ward during this year. Mr.. Couch was
elected by the council to succeed c. H.
Goodpaster on the latter's election to
the office of chief of police.
A complaint was presented by Gee
Trott, protesting against the assess
ment of benefits for sanitary sewer
constructed in the alley between the
Trott and /. B. Bell property, on the
ieast side, by which Mr.. Trott was as
lsessed more than double the amount
assessed against Mr.. Bell. This is a
condition that grew out of the interpre-
tation of statutes in regard to fixing
the benefits to property affected by
such improvements. The matter was
referred to the city attorney for in
yestigation as to the correctness of
the assessment.
Permission was granted to f. H.
-
Herbst to paint huge sign of vinita
on the upper brick walls of the Audi
torium, this not to cost the city any
money.
On petition of DR.. e. b. Frayser an
ordinance was passed reducing the city
limits SO as to exclude block s in the
Marrs addition. In his petition DR..
Frayser recited that he obtaintd no
benefits from the city in the way of
electric lights, water or gas and that
as the city was not in position to fur
nish these to him at the present time
prayed that his property be excluded
from the city
With the transaction of considerable
routine business, including the pas
sage of the regular monthly finance
bill the meeting Of the council proved
a pretty busy session.
