New York, Dec. 11.-"Public health
is public utility. A dollar laid out
in sanitation is not an expenditure,
but loan, which will be returned an
hundred fold," declared Surgeon Cen
eral Rupert Blue of the United States
Public Health Service here today in
an address before the Association of
Life Insurance Presidents
"Any municipality, state or nation
can have public health if it will but
pay the price," continued the surgeon
general. "The most needed reforms in
public health administration are great
err cooperation between public offici-
ais, the employment of full time work
ers, establishment of laboratories, ac-
curate collection of vital statistics
and the setting aside of sufficient
funds to accomplish those things
"The future of sanitary administra-
tion in this country depends upon the
interest which the citizens take in its

Up to this time the Governor has

Another phase of the legislative ses-
sion attracting much attention just
now is whether, in event they are con-
victed of the bribe-taking charge in
Warren county, will Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo
and State Senator Hobbs attempt to
perform their legislative duties. 1t
is regarded as practically certain that
both will endeavor to do so in event
they can get bail following conviction.

POSSIBLE TO EARN
MILLION DOLLARS
SECRETARY BRYAN EXPRESSES
BELIEF IN ADDRESS BEFORE
CLERICAL CONFERENCE.

New York, Dec. 11.-Secretary OF
State William J. Bryan Wednesday,
in speaking before the clerical confer
ence of the New York Federation of
Churches on the subject of "Funda-
mentals," declared it to be his belief
that ''it is possible for a man really
to earn $4,000 year for lifetime of
thirty-three and one-third working
years, or million dollars a lifetime"
Secretary Bryan made this declara-
ton in discussing mans relation to
the society about him, which, he said,
was one of the three things fundamen-
tai in human life Other fundamen-
tails he mentioned were ones relation
, to the government under which he
lives and to his God.
MAN does not work Alone" Mr..
BRYAN continued. HE works in con-
junction with others, and. therefore,
an intelligent man should realize his
relations to society. How much can
a man honestly collect from society
Only a sum that barely measures the
services he renders to society. And
an honest man will not desire to col
llect more than he honestly earns"
Comparing the wealth of the rich
est American, which he estimated a
$500, 900 900, secretar Bryan declares
his belief that Thomas Jefferson an
Abraham Lincoln rendered services t
the world that were worth immeasul
, ably more than that. What the worl
, needs, he added, is not the men VIII
: amass money to give it away whe
: they die, but men who will give then
selves to society.

Huerta Wants Armistice.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Reports from
Mexico City that efforts were being
made by an element in the provisional
government to induce Gen. Huerta to
negotiate an armistice with Gen. Car
rama. the rebel leader, pending an
election revived interest considerably
In the Mexico situation.
State Department officials were
without advices, but were keenly in
terested in possible developments.
There was a disposition in official
quarters to doubt whether an election
could be held in which the rebels
would agree to participate unless
Huerta withdrew from all connection
with the government at the Mexican
capital.
The attack on Tampico by the rebels
added yesterday to the anxiety of the
Washington administration about for
eigners and their interests. NOTHING
was announced from the State Depart
ment about conditions at Tampico, bu
the report that the rebel general hat
advised the removal Of foreign resi-
dents added gravity to the situation.

Lieut.. Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo and

motion before Judge Henry C. Noun
ger, in the circuit court, asking change

Judge James Cassidy of Brookhaven
and Judge Patrick Henry of vicksburg.
two of the attorneys for the defense.
| The filing of the motion was accom-
panied by a long list Of witnesses to be
summoned to show that fair trial
cannot be obtained in Warren county.
Hearing on the motion began this
morning The motion contains the al
legations that published utterances of
the District Attorney and prosecuting
counsel have created sentiment and
caused prejudging of the case; that
prejudice against the defendants was
aroused by charges in the last cam
paign against Bilbo's integrity and
, honesty and that a fair trial cannot
. be had in Warren county.
} In the event that a change of venue
! is granted, the case can be transferred
= to any of the adjacent counties, but

CUT OFF WATER SUPPLY.

Bingham, Utah, Dec. 11.-Losing
faith in their ability to starve him out
quickly and having failed to smoke
him out, the sheriffs trying to capture
Ralph Lopez, slayer Of six men, de-
cided last night to attempt to cut off
his water supply in the Utah-Apex
mine.
With this plan in view, a posse will
be sent into the mine within the next
few hours. Unless Lopez is dead or
has escaped, another underground
fight such as took place on November
20, when two deputies were killed, is
thought probable. The sheriffs are
convinced that there are two places
in the mine where the desperate car
obtain water. They intend to string
wires through the tunnels and illum
mate these places with searchlights
leaving guards stationed in the dark
ness to prevent him approaching t.
drink.
Although the search was discontin
ued on Monday, for fear of sacrificing
more lives, the council of sheriffs ha
decided that to cut off his water SUP
ply would be worth risking anothe

Overturned Freight
Steamer Found.

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. 10.-A
large steel freighter overturned, was
found floating on Lake Huron, late to-
day. about eight miles northeast of
Port Huron.
Capt. Reid of the wreclling crew
which located her arrived here, to-
night and said he name had not been
learned when he left the seen. 1t is
believed she was abandoned during
the terrific gale which swept the lake,
yesterday.
Capt. Reid said heavy sea was
running when the freighter was found
and there was no distinguishing mark
to identify her. There are number
of large steel boats similar in APP
pearance to the derelict plying the
lakes and the wrecking company had
not been notified that any boat which
had not been located had been aban-
doned.
Marine men think the boat may be
an ore carrier which became uneon-
trollable in the storm and shifted her
cargo.
Capt. Reid returned to the scene of
the discovery with a wrecking tug,
tonight.
