Will ENFORCE
RECENT ORDER
HAVING CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES MUST BE KEPT
AWAY FROM OTHERS.

Jackson, Miss, June ia summary
order has been issued by the state
board of health, through DR.. w. H.
Rowan, chief sanitary inspector, for
the enforcement of the new regula-
tion making it a misdemeanor to allow
child suffering from whooping cough,
measles, sore eyes, scarlet fever, or
any similar contagious or infectious
disease, to be in any school, or to be
carried into the presence of another
child.
"This regulation has been adopted
for enforcement, and not as a mere
pretense," said DR.. Rowan. 1--WE shall
expect local health officers to see that
it is strictly carried out, and we want
to impress it especially on parents
and teachers; for they are equally Ii
able to punishment under the new
regulation"
The necessity for the order is shown
by the report of the bureau of vital
statistics. During the past six months
there have been 105 deaths from
whooping cough in this state, eleven
from measles, four from scarlet fever
and ninety-one from diptheria. These
211 deaths the health board regards
as wholly unnecessary.

In the event that Walters attorneys

TIN ISSUED FROM ExPERl-

Jackson, Miss, June 19.-"The Soils
of Mississippi" is the title of an elab-
crate bulletin issued from the Mis-
sissippi agricultural experiment sta
tion..
The bulletin is the work of Prof. W.
N. Logan, of the chair of geology, and
is the most elaborate publication of
the kind yet issued regarding the va
rious soils of the state. While techni
cal in character, it is of inestimable
value to the farmers of the state,
showing the constituent elements of
the various soils, and the kinds of
fertilizers that should be used in the
cultivation of various crops.
Prof. Logan describes the northeast
highlands, northeast paririe, northeast
prairie bottom, Pontotoc Ridge, fiat
woods, shortleaf pine soils, brown
loan and loess soils, Yazoo basin or
delta soils, central prairie soils, long
leaf pine soils, and the Gulf Coast
soils, giving the constituents of each
their present fertility, and methods OF
crop cultivation used. One of the fea
lures of the bulletin is a large sol

(By Associated Press.)

Washington. June 19.-Melville E.
Stone, general manager of the Associ-
ated Press, testified at his own request
before the lobby committee today. His
statements had to do with claims con-
tanned in some recently published cor
respondence of Clarence c. Hamlin,
regarding the publicity sugar beet men
hoped to get through the Associated
Press. Stone explained that in 1911
the Associated Press carried on inter-
views with John Arbuckle, the sugar
retiner, favoring free raw sugar. He
said it carried it because of the inter.
est in the question of the cost of liv-
ing. Later it carried a shorter state.

ELEVENTH HOUR DISCOVERY
THAT REFINED SUGAR WOULD
HAVE BEEN DUTiABLE.
MEASURE READY FOR CAUCUS
Senator Calls Democrats to Meet Fri
i day, When Rates Will Be Taken Up
While Committee Works on Income
Tax and Administration Features.

Washington, June 19.-An eleventh
hour discovery that the sugar sched-
ule of the Underwood tariff bill had
Joker" In it which would have oper-
ated to make all refined sugar duti-
able at cents pound and nullify the
provision for free sugar after three
years resulted in an amendment by
majority members of the Senate FL
nance Committee.
Elimination in the Underwood bill of
the Dutch standard of color which has
been in tariff bills for many years, it
was discovered, made applicable to all
refined sugar paragraph from the
Payne-Aldrich bill relating to confec-
tionery which included the following
words:
Sugar after being refined, when
tinctured, colored or in any way adul-
ferated, two cents per pound"
The majority members of the FL
nance Committee had their attention
called to this matter by Senator Shep-
pard, of Texas, who was petitioned by
the Chamber of Commerce of Green
vile, Texas, to look into the provisions
which they believed might defeat the
purpose of the administration and the
majority in Congress as to ultimate
free sugar 1t was suggested that the
bill as it stood could be so construed
as to apply to all refined sugar, which
is colored with ultramarine.
The Dutch standard which was taken
out of the House bill, stipulated specif
ically as to the coloring of refined
sugar. Members of the finance com
mittee ordered an investigation ant
President Wilson, when his attention
= was called to it, agreed that it shoult
be looked into thoroughly.
Late yesterday the majority mem
bers of the committee received expert
reports that the provision might op
crate as joker and they promptly
struck out the language as it referret
to refined sugar and left it applicabl,
only to confectioneries.
Another important amendment to thu
bill agreed upon by the committe,
would repeal an act of 1890 exemptins
brandies used by manufacturers to for
tify grape vines from the general in
4 ternal revenue tax. This amendment
it is estimated will increase the gov
ernment's revenue by $7,OO0,OO0 year
The committee last night complete,
all the schedules and Senator Kern, tn,
majority leader, issued call for Sen
( atorial Democratic caucus next Friday
The caucus can take up the rate
while the committee is completing tn
work on the income tax and admins
trative features.
One of the important matters settle
was that a countervailing duty shoul
not be put on live stock and meat
which are to go on the free list ur
restricted. Wheat flour will go on tn
free list but with countervailin
duty.
