"When we reached the building
it was to find that the fire centered
around the only stairway leading
to the upper floor of the cage. All

with heavy iron bars, aud it was
impossible for the convicts to fight
their way out.

Uneaslness.

Several days ago DR.. w. H. Ro-
wan, chiet sanitary inspector of
the state board of health, wrote to
Surgeon General Rupert Blue Of
the United States public health
service, asking that he detail an
expert on pellagra, to investigate
tiis disease in Mississippi. At the
same time, be wrote to each of the
senators and congressman asking
their aid in securing this pellagra
expert.
DR.. Rowan today received tele-

al Blue would in few days send
one OF the best peIlagra experts IN
the government service to Missis-
sippi to investigate the cause Of
this disease, which from reports
from diffetent portions of the state
is alarmingly on the increase.
The alarming spread of pellagra

Attorney General Endeavoring to
Dissolve Merger and Recover
Damages.

CIarksdale, Miss, July 22.-
Suit instituted by Attorney General
Collins seeking to dissolve the
merger of the Illinois Central and
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail-
roads and to recover damages ag-
gregating approximately $4,000,
600 for violation of the anti trust
laws OF the state. was tlled here IN
chancery court to-day by Cutrer
and Johnson, representing the at
torney general.
The petition recites the history
of the building of the Illinois Cen
trail line connecting New Orleans
and Memphis, reviews the con.
struction OF the Y. & M. v. and
relates how this smaller road OBJ.
tanned control of the Louisville,
New Orleans and Texas railroad,
and how it was in turn taken in by
the Illinois Central which thereby
obtained complete control OF all
north and south transit through
central and western Mississippi
"stopping competition and working
against the well-being of the peo-
pie of Mississippi"
The suit charges that the Illinois
Central railroad entered into an
agreement with the Y. & M. v.
railroad on the 24th day of Octo-
Der, 1892, and ever since that time
has exercised control and manage
ment of it, and by is connection
with river transportation along the
Mississippi, has stiied competition
and practically has monopoly Of
all land and river traffic between
Louisville, Kentucky, and New Or
leans.
The suit comes as surprise to
the agents and officials of the Hi.
nois Central, who considered that
the questions involved had been
settled favorahIy to the railroad
company in tax suit tried several
years ago.
The petition names no individ-
uals, being addressed merely to
the two roads involved.

UNFOLDING the laws of the Sociedade
Portugueza de Santo Antonio Beneii-
cente de Hawaii, the supreme court of
the Territory yesterday handed down
an opinion favoring the society in the
action brought by Adalina Monizi. Mrs.
Moni2i was made the sole beneficiary of
the mortnary bequest of $500 in the
will of Jacintho T.. Felna, benevolent
of the organization, who died in South
San Francisco, May -, 1912.
The bylaws of the benevolent society
are said to specifically demand that the
name of the dcvisce shall be filed with
the organization. According to the
briefs placed before the supreme court,
the FIRST knowledge that the society had
of Mrs. Month y claim to the death
benefits was when she produced Eel.
ina IS will, which was dated February
1872. Circuit court trial was waived
by both parties and the statements OF
facts were filed with the territorial si
prcme court, which ruled that the ben
ev0lent organization could retain all the
mortuary money for any disposition
that il saw fit.
A. =. Castro, executive officer of the
benevolent society, stated yesterday
that Mrs MONTH will be given n Ger
tain amount of the mortuary bequest
despite the society's victory in the
/ court
