CLASS ANT WITH FLY
BOTH ENEMIES, OF THE HUMAN
RACE, SAY SCIENTISTS.
Pests Are Equally Active in Carrying
Disease Germs - Experiments IN
banana Canal Zone Have Sub
stantiated Theories.

No suspicion until lately has arisen
that tho industrious ant might upon
occasion act as the transmitting agent
of infection to man, says the London
Lancet. 1t vas known that some spe-
cies, such as the. white ant, has very
destructive tendencies in certain paris
Of the tropics and that the bites Or
some large tropical ants caused q
good deal of general disturbance, Pc
ing attended with f%aintness n snlV-
ering and sometimes with temporary
paralysis. It: was also known ina
some savage races used the dried
bodies of ants, beaten into a paste, as,
an arrow poison, but it is only OF late
that suggestion has been made that
this insect might convey pathogenlc
bacteria to man. The ant is COM
monty found in a%ndsaround the dwell
ings of people residing in the tropics.
It is indeed, a matter Of difficulty 70
keep this insect away from foodstuns
in such houses, and it Is equally dnn-
cult to keep the ant away from hh..
man dejecta when these are not prop
erly disposed of. So that it cannot pc
doubted that the ant has the opportu-
| nifty of carrying from infected excreta
the specific organisms of disease to
the food stored in human dwellings.
Little or no experimental work,
however, had been done to obtain
proof that ants were capable Of trans
mitting disease to man, but In 1872
DR.. l.. B. Bates, bacteriologist to An
con hospital in the Panama Canal
zone, undertook a series Of expert.
ments with a view Of putting to the
test whether or not the ant acted
as a transmitting agent of such infec-
tons as enteric fever and bacillary
d~ysentery. His Investigations were
carried out with the large yellow ants
which %aresJound in and around the
houses in the canal zone. He fed a
number Of these insects on bread
soaked with cultures of bacillus ty-
phosus for five days, killing and ex-
aiming some Of them at certain
intervals, but in no instance was he
able to recover the typhoid bacillus
from the intestines Of the ants. The
experiment was carefully repeated
with like negative results. He then
tried to determine if the ant could
carry the specific organisms on its
legs or body in a purely mechanical
way to human food.
To this end a number of the in
sects were dropped into a broth cul
ture Of the typhoid bacillus and al
lowed afterward to crawl out ant
walk v dishes in such away tha'
their footprints could be cultivated
for, bacteria. The typhoid bacillus
was easily found in every instance
This experiment was repeated severa
times, and in the majority Of cases
positive results were obtained.

The reception also was in cele- bration of the eighteenth wedding an niversary of Mr. and Mrs. Wilmeth.
 MT. Wilmeth was disbursing officer of the relief committee which admins tered the gold fund carried to Europe by the crusier Tennessee. He visited England, Germany, France, Holland Denmark and Sweden.

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
 EXPECTED IN INVESTICA

 cated in Murder of Guard

Little Rock, Nov 9-Some sensa- tons are expected to come from the investigation into the mine distur- bances of Western Arkansas, which IS now being conducted in the Federal court at Fort Smith. It l. reported that the special agents O. the govern. ment have dug up a witness who has identified several leading miners of the Hartford district, as being present at the ctbin where two guards employed to defend the non-union workmen at the Bache- Denman mines. were mur- dered and the cabin burned.
 In addition to this the witness is said to have been kidnapped, after be- ing watched while he remained in Fort Smith and followed to Missouri, where he was shipped by a labor agent. This witness claims according to re- port, that he was tied hand and foot and hauled across country in an auto mobile, as far as Colorado, where iAN NoNe'PSb.
 Another witness for the government Is said to have been brought to Ark ansas to substantiate the story of the first witness, for he is supposed to have cut the cords which bound his hands after he had made his escape.
 The first witness is said to have inn plicated several men in the kidnapping he having recognized them as men he had seen many times while in the Hartford valley with the non-union miners.
 The special agent of the government expect no more trouble with the min CTS in the Prairie Creek vicinity, now that the United States troops have been Quartored there, and they expect to bring those guilty of rioting and disregarding the Federal Injunction to tria livery soon The presence of the troops is expected to prevent the coer- cion of witnesses, and permit the i government to secure information il has been unable to get close to in the past.

ACTION CAUSES ILL FEEL
 ING AMONG OFFICIALS
postraining Order Gives Hodges An ober Chance. County Court will Investigate the Sanity of
 the Murderer.

Iittle Rock. Nov. 9.-The latest le- cal action to save Arthur Hodges from Ae electric chair-a restraining order n nrevent his execution Saturday, in order that the Pulaski County Probate Court may have a chance to pass upon the sanity of the murderer, is causing no little ill feeling among state, and penitentiary and court officials.
 Gov. c. w. Hays is provoked at the action of Chancellor J. F.. Martineau in granting the restraining order, and the making of it returnahle several days after the date he had set for the ex- ecution. He has gone into the Hodges case thoroughly, and convinced him self that Hodges was not insane at the time he killed the Clark County officer who had arrested him for a tri- vial oifenSe. He was instrumental in securing trial for Hodges before sanity experts. after he had twice been sentenced to death, and after the Supreme Court had several times passed upon the matter, especially that touching on his sanity, Gov. Hays was of the opinion that the law should be permitted to take it's course, and the mandate of the highest court of the State should not be set aside by the order of a lower court.
 It is question if the Chancery Court can prevent the execution and the Supreme Court may be asked to pass upon the matter between now and Saturday. Attorney General Moose has already been called into the case and whatever kind of opinion he renders will probably be passed upon oy the Supreme Court before Satur- day

The Commission is known to look up- on the electrocution of white men with disapproval, and no white man has vet been executed in the penitentiary, but if the touts agree upon the exc cution of Hodges, they will do their duty.
