H0RNADAY PAYS
TRIBUTE TO STATE
New York Author COmpli-
ments Alabama on Prog
ress in Protecting Game

Montgomery, January 20.-(Special )--In
his interesting book, entitled, Our Van
Iishing Wild Life, It's determination and
Preservation" William T. Hornaday, di-
rector of the New York Geological park.
pays high tribute to Alabama for It's
progress in the protection of game.
Mr. Hornaday's book is just from the
press having been published by Charles
Scribner's Sons. The book is replete with
Illustrations of every kind of game and
wild animal found on the American con-
tinent, and its contents contain thousands
of Interesting facts concerning the wild
life of the country.
'rhe author pays a splendid tribute to
Alabama, asserting that it is entitled to
medal of honor for game protection. In
this particular field of progress and en-
llghtenment," says Mr.. Hornaday, the
state of Alabama is the pioneer state OF
the south"
According to Mr.. Hornaday, Alabama
owes her high standing in game protec-
tion to tl8 efforts of John H. Wallace, Jr.,
whom the author personally complimented
with an autograph copy of his book.
Sportsmen who have seen the book on
"Our Vanishing Wild Life declare that
1t is one of the most interesting publica-
tions of it's kind they have ever seen. Mr.
Hornaday is considered a great authority
on all kinds of wild ife.. He is the author
OF American Natural History and -
the ex-President of the American Bison
Society.

SANpf Rs / a.lKS ON
MENINGITIS SCARE
Sees No Cause for Alarm at
ClantOn
ONE CASE PROVED
State Health Officer Visited Clanton
Yesterday and Held Conference
With Public Officials
and Physicians

zone case of genuine cerebro spinal
meningitis exists IN Clanton, and two
or three cases which show symptoms
OF the disease exist IN the county. bnl
there is as yet 10 great alarm felt
among the people of the section, as far
as | could see" stated DR. ". H. San
ders over the long distance telephone
from Montgomery last night =
DR.. Sanders visited Clanton yesterday
to look over the meningitis situation
there. He visited the patient Mrs. D.
Y. johnson, consulted with several
Clanton physicians and prominent cit
izens but found nothing alarming and
returned to Montgomery last night af-
ter giving directions as to the proper
isolation and treatment of the disease.
DR.. Sanders was communicated with
over long distance telephone last night
following the receipt in Birmingham of
a sensational report to the effect. that
the meningitis scare at Clanton had
reached a crisis, that there were quite
a number of cases in the county, that
several families had left yesterday and
more were planning to leave today un-
til the alleged epidemic subsided. 1t
was also stated that the Clanton aead-
emy had been closed and drastic .ac-
tion was being taken to isolate the
victims of the disease.
DR. Sanders, however, refuted this ru-
NOR. He stated that the Clanton acaa-'
envy. which was the only public school
in Clanton, had n5t been closed The
school authorities the probate Judge,
several local physicians aud prominent
citizens of Clanton and myself had a
conference today n the Clanton court
house. he said. They asked me if 1t
was necessary to close the schools and
l. told them that ! did not think it
was unless the situation became more
serious than it was at present
Mrs. johnson is the only case in
the whole place that has been proven
to be meningitis. Some of the fluid
from Mrs. Johnsons spine has been
microscopically examined in the labor
atories of the state health department
and it was clearly shown that she as
afflicted with the genuine cerebro
spinal meningitis. At Cooper, little
town some distance from Clanton, is
one or two cases which have shown
meningitis symplons,' put ihey nave
not been examined and so far as knov
=. not serious cases.
Il do not think that there is any
basis for sensational reports concern
ing conditions In Clanton. | found no
excitement and naard nothing of any
families leaving. OF course. there are
always those in all neighborhoods who
become more or less excited when Iuch
matters come up, hut | found nothing
out of the ordinarNeat Clanton and do
not expect TO unless something un-
foreseen develops.
