PUBLIC HEALTH
BILL IS DRAFTED
BY MEDICAL SOCIETY
T ODE PRESENTED TO THE 18th
GENERAL ASSEMBLY For
ENACTMENT.

Little Rock, Jan. 6.-At a confer
ence of the legislative committee of the
Arkansas Medical Society for the
drafting of public health bill to be
ment, large number of medical men,
lawmakers and public-spirited citizens
were in consultation, and bill was
agreed upon, embodying the following
among other provisions:
Board to be appointed by the COVER
nor, one from each congressional dis
trict.
Establishment of hygienic labora-
tory to be operated in connection with
the chemical and archaeological labo-
ratories of the medical department of
the University of Arkansas.
In this laboratory shall be manu-
featured and distributed anti-rabies
virus for giving the Pasteur treat
ment, without charge for examination
or treatment.
Chemical examination of foodstuffs
shall also be made in this laboratory
which will assist in the enforcement
of the pure food and health laws.
The bill also provides for the crea-
ton of a bureau of vital statistics
data to be gathered in each township
of the state and forwarded to the
state board for tabulation and preser-
walton.
At present only in the larger cities
of the state are any attempts made tC
gather vital statistics, and Arkansas
is the only state in the Union which
is making no systematic effort to pro
vide a record of births and deaths.
Secretary Morgan Smith says
"The proposed bill is reasonable ane
needful, and should not meet with OPP
position from any source. 1t does MOI
attempt to interfere with the practice
of any physician, or creed, or the ex
,ponent of any cult or religious organ
ization, each being free to treat dis
eases in his own specific manner"

THE LAD" KILLER.

The man who stops his little ''ad'
Is not so very wise, bedad!
Because his advertisements tell
The public what he has to sell.
And if his "ad' is not on deck,
The people pass him up, by heck!
And none of them will hesitate
To trade with merchants up-to-date.
To stop your "ad,' we would remark
Is just like winking in the dark
You may know what it means, but gee
Nobody else can ever see.
SO do not for moment think
That when you cut out printers ink
You're saving money on the side;
IT'S merely business suicide!
Exchange.

DIR. WILLIAM f. GREEN j.
TAKES HIS own LIFE
DISTINGUISHED LITTLE ROCK
PHYSICIAN IS VICTIM OF
MELANCHOLIA.

Little Rock, jan 6.-Dr. William E.
Green, one of the best known physi-
clans and surgeons in Arkansas, killed
himself yesterday afternoon at his res
idence, TIA West Capitol avenue, by
shooting himself. He fired one shot
from a 41-calibre Derringer. The
bullet ranged downward into the
brain and death was instantaneous.
DR.. Green's death came during a
period of melancholia brought on by a
long illness of pneumonia, which had
revived and complicated an old mala-
dy of the kidneys. He was stricken
on November 13, and after several
days of critical illness began to con-
valesce, but during his period of con-
ivalescence he was subject to fits of
dependency.
Arrangements for the funeral will
be announced later.

HARRELL & CO.'S
STORE IS ROBBED
WATCHMAN EXONERATED
THIEF ENTERS BY BACK WIN
DOW LAST NIGHT WHEN
RAIN WAS HARDEST.
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
w. M. Harrell & Company's store
was burglarized last night, and
quantity of knives and razors We're,
stolen. The thief broke in window
in the rear of the grocery department
and opened the doors of the clothing
department through which an exit was
made. The burglars also riffled the.
cash drawer IN the office of small
amount of money and took very fine
pistol from this drawer, belonging to
w. M. Harrell. Nothing else of i'm
portance was missed, but it will be;
almost impossible to find out exastly
what was stolen, as goods are usually
left in some disorder after the regu-
lar Saturdays business. Shortly at
ter. midnight Night Waterman John
Durham made his rounds, and found
all was well. On his second round at
about l 80 o'clock he discovered that
Harrell & Cos. store had been entered,
and immed ately telephoned Messrs.
Harrell, Lyon and Gist, who came
down. No clue as to the identity of
the burglar or burglars has been
found, as the storm of wind and rain
made it an ideal night for the mid
night maurader to make a getaway.
Harrell & Co. appreciate the efforts of
Waterman Durham in his efforts to
locate the burglar. They wish to no.
tify the thief that the cutlery stolen
was Robinson's celebrated brand, full
lily guaranteed, and if it does not give
perfect satisfaction, it can be re-
| turned

TRAIN IS DYNAM|TED
TEN CHILDREN, MOST OF THEM
BABIES, DIE.

Mexico City.-Reyised reports of the
dynamiting of the federal troop train
south of Saltillo say $50 soldiers, three
officers, 80 women and 10 or 10 chill
dren, most of them babies, were slaugh
tered by the guerillas. No news of the
affair has been published by the local
papers.
All details of the fighting in the north
is being suppressed as much as possible
but the government has finally admit
ted that Victoria has been captured and
burned by the rebels and that Nava
rette's column has been annihilated
leaving the way open for the rebel ad.
vance upon Tampico.
Kinship and family ties did not avail
to halt the vengeance of the constitu.
tionalists when federal office holders
fell into their hands at the capture Of
the City of Victoria, capital of the state
of Tamaulipas. State as well as fed.
eral officials were executed without
quarter.
The young mars mother, who is an
aunt of the rebel officer, went on her
knees and begged the life of her son. Ca.
ballero's reply was to have his cousin
brought from the prison and stood in
front of firing squad of revolutionists,
who shot him down before his mothers
eyes.
Provisional President Huerta summon
ed the managers of the Bank of London
and Mexico and the National Bank be-
fore him and explained to them the ne.
cessity of their financial assistance to
meet the obligations of the National
Railways.
Among the incidents connected with
the capture of Victoria by the rebels,
one is related of the execution of Capt.
Thomas Jamez. He was told that his
life would be spared if he forswore the
government. He refused, and was Civ
en- an hour for meditation. When the
hour had elapsed and his guards had
come for him, he asked to be taken be-
fore the man who had ordered his ex.
ecution. He embraced the military
Judge, telling him that he cherished no
resentment, and then marched to the
place designated for his death.
There he distributed among the fir
ing squad all but one of a package Of
cigarettes This he lighted himself, and
signalled to the officer in command to
give the order to fire.
