CONSUMPTION OF
 WHISKEY DECREASES
But Americans are Smoking More Gig arettes and Drinking More
 Beer Than Before.

Washington, July 4. - Americans drank less whiskey during the past twelve months than they did the year before, but they consumed more beer and smoked a great many more cig arettes.
 Reports to the internal revenue commissioner, made public today, showed that receipts for the fiscal year just closed totalled $SS6,O69 less than for the previous year, and most of this decline was due to the marked falling off in taxes collected in dis titled spirits. Detailed statements for the month of June are not yet avail able but in the first eleven months of the fiscal year there was a decrease of 3,734,8o7 in the income from the manufacture and sale of distilled liquors, due in part to reduction in the number of licenses. Eestimates on the June receipts indicated the to- tai decline in distilled liquor taxes for twelve months will probably be $4,/ 25O,0O0. Receipts from tobacco taxeA showed an approximate increase over last year of $2,SO0,OOO. This gain is due almost entirely to phenomenal increase in the cigarette trade. The gain in receipts from fermented liquor, beer, ale and the like, was about $860,O0O

ance and nearly all have been reached with unanimity.
 It would be difficult to recall time when the ideal which found expression in the creation of this court was so nearly realized. Justice has been de- termined promptly. It's ministers have been laborious. In their conclu- sions there has been neither timidity nor partisanship nor respect of per sons.
 There is hardly court in the Unit ed States that can not profit by this example. The laws delays are due in great measure to the indifference or the indolence of judges. If the court which deals mostly with fundamentals can clear it's docket, what excuse is there for the congestion that appears everywhere in the inferior tribunals which are asked only to mediate be- tween man and man?

NEGRO MURDERER
 SENTENCED TO DIE
Black Captured Here Rently Get' Quick Trial at Birmingham,
 Alabama.

Willard Carpenter, the negro cap tured in this county about six weeks ago by Deputies Green and Glover for the authorities at Birmingham, Ala, was tried and convicted of murdering transfer man and has been sen- fenced to hang. This information came in letter to Sheriff Edgar Brewster from the Birmingham sheriff. Car penter has been granted an appeal to the supreme court, but it is consider ed unlikely he will obtain a new trial or a reversal.
 The negro shot his employer during a quarrel over $7. He escaped to Ar kansas and was working on the farm of his uncle when arrested. He was located through the secret service de- partment of he sheriff's office, and Deputies Green and Glover dispatched to make the arrest They were warn- ed to take no chances. as Carpenter has a bad record He was caught "dozing," having just taken off his two pistols, which he said he had carried constantly since fleeing from Alabama

 2. Organization of Farmers. This organization will be made up as fol- lows:
 A leader for each township and nine associates will be selected. Each as- sociate will have assigned to him an area of about four sections for sur vey. The men in this organization will serve as volunteers without sal ary, and they will keep the United States inspector in charge advised concerning the conditions in the county and will also aid in securing the required statistics of the hog in dustry.
 8. Survey. A complete survey will be made to determine the number of hogs raised and the number lost from hog cholera prior to beginning the work and during each year thereaf- ter during the life of the project.
 i. Sanitation and Quarantine. This will comprise the regulation of ship ment of hogs into and out of the ex- perimental area, the regulation of shipments within the area, the quar- antine of infected places, destruction of dead animals, cleaning and disin- lection of railroad chutes, pens and loading places, etc.
 3. lmmunization and Treatment with Anti-hog Cholera Serum. Serum to be applied to hogs on infected farms and on exposed farms by the United States inspectors in such man ner as they may deem necessary. 6. Serum Production. All anti-hos cholera serum required is to be pro- duced and supplied by the bureau o1 animal industry, provided that in the event of the inability of that bureau to produce sufficient serum the sev' eral states will supply the deficiency in so far as possible without cost te the United States department of agri- culture.
 Organization and Cooperation.
 1. State Organization. The state agricultural college, or other state agencies, will place in each eXperl mental area at least one qualified man who, with the cooperation of tho United States inspectors and county advisers, will carry out the necessary educational work, organization O farmers, and make an accurate survey of the area.
 The live stock sanitary board, ol other proper state authorities. will place in each area at least one quail fled deputy who will enforce, i'll st i far as state laws will permit, sucf sanitary and quarantine measures a'

MEXICO'S ANCIENT
 CIVILIZATION
Remarkable Ruins of Chich- en Itza, the "Holy City,
 of the Mayas.

For many centuries Mexico has been the home of many races. Most of us are wont to regard it as the home of only the Aztecs,, with whose civilza- tion Prescott and the early Spanish chroniclers have made us moro or less familiar The archeologist and student of pre-Columbian and pre- historic times, however, knows that there were races, especially in South ern Mexico and parts of Central America, whose ancient civilization had no connection with the empire of the Montezumas, and whose wonder full works, long ago fallen into decay and ruin, are now the subjects Of scientific research and study. To Americans at least these should be as interesting as the ruins of ancient Egypt or the buried cities of Asia and the Far East.
 Under the title, Ancient Temples and Cities of the New World" the Monthly Bulletin of the Pan Ameri- can union, Washington, D. C., has been publishing a series of articles dealing with these relics of a splendid but g-forgotten people. One of the most interesting of the ruined cities bore the name of Chichen Itza, once the 'tHoly City" of the Mayas, a peo- pie of whom Sylvanus G. Morley writes
 "Long before the discovery of America there flourished in southern Mexico, Guatemala, and parts of Hon. duras a great civilization, which has been called the Maya. It may be said without exaggeration that this civilization had reached a height equalled by no other people of the western hemisphere prior to the com ing of the white man. In architecture, sculpture, and in painting the Mayas excelled. Their priests were astrono- mers of no mean ability. having ob- served and recorded, without the aid of instruments of precision such as are known to us, the lengths of the solar and Venus years, and probably the lengths of the Mercury and Mars years. Tn addition to this they had developed a calendar system and per- fected chronology which in some of it's characteristics was equal to our own.
 But the ancient glory of this peo- pie had long since departed when Hernando Cortez first came in contact with them on the coast of Yucatan in 1519. Their star had set. Their greatest cities had been abandoned and lay in ruins. Even the memory of the older cities of their culture,
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-07-05

such as Palenque, Copan and Quiri- qua, for example, seems to have pass ed from the minds of men, their for mer existence forgotten. Probably the largest, and certainly the most magnificent, of the ruined cities which the Spanish conquerers found on their arrival in Yucatan was Chichen Itza, around which even in it's desolation there still clusters a thousand tradi- tions of former sanctity and splendor. The name is Maya, and means "The Mouth of the Wells of the Itzas.'
 "To visit the ancient city now, one jolts for 15 long and weary miles in a two-wheeled cart drawn by three mules over the toughest kind of a highway imaginable. Finally, when it seems that the limit of physical en- durance has been reached, the cart suddenly lurches around sharp turn in the road and as if by magic the lofty Castillo flashes into view, tow ering high above the plain and the rest of the city.
 ''This imposing structure, the high est in Yucatan, rises zS feet above the plain. The pyramid on which the temple stands is 195 feet long, and covers about an acre of ground. It is made of 9 terraces of faced mason ry, each terrace elaborately paneled to relieve the monotony of effect. Up the center of each of it's four sides rises a stairway 37 feet wide. These stairways have massive stone balus- trades, carved to represent serpents, the heads being at the bases of the stairways and flanking them.
 "The Castillo would seem to have been the center of the ancient city, and probably it's chief sanctuary. To the north lies the Sacred Cenote (welD and the causeway leading to it. On the east is a vast group Of buildings, colonnades, courts, and pyramids, "The City of Thousand Columns" as some one has pictur- esquely described it. Due west is the group of structures known as the Ball Court. To the south for half a mile or more, scattered through the jungle, are pyramids, courts, temples. and palaces. The ce1ftral location of the Castillo with reference to all of these. as we'll as it's great size and commanding height, argue strongly that it was the chief sanctuary of the Holy City. In another structure, the "House of the Tigers" are found the remnants of several beautiful h1u- ral paintings. One of these represents an attack by an eeemy on large city, splendidly executed, and presents per haps the most remarkable piece of aboriginal painting known to be in existence. The total area covered by the ruins has been estimated at 10 square miles,"

 1. Field Forces. One supervising field inspector. The functions of this officer will be to visit the various experimental areas, to advise with the United States inspectors in charge of field work regarding the methods of work, thus giving to each inspector the benefit of observations made in other areas and thereby icnreasing ef- ficiency.
 2. A force located in each eXperl- mental area will be maintained as an independent unit reporting directly to the chief of the bureau of animal in dustry. The force to be maintained i'll each area will consist of one in- spector in charge, one or more assist ant inspectors and one clerk. The size of the organization in each area will be governed by the necessities of the case and the funds available.
 Laboratory Force. One inspector in charge, with the necessary scientific assistants, clerks and laborers to prepare sufficient anti-hog cholera serum to supply the neds of the vari- ous field inspectors.
 Cooperation and Organization.
 The United States field inspector in charge in each experimental area is to be recognized as the local leader of the project. This official by con- ference with the local state repre- sentatives, will arrange for the de- tails of carrying out educational work, quarantine and sanitation, and other activities. State officers shall at all times be furnished with full informa- tion concerning the general progress of the work and the United States field inspector in charge shall likewise be advised concerning the general progress of the work and results of work carried on by the local stale of ficers. The salaries and expenses of en- ployees of the United States depart ment of agriculture will be borne entirely by that department, and sim liar expenses of state officers will be paid by state of local agencies.
 Contracts or Agreements. No contract or agreement in con- nectiOn with this work Wlll be regard ed as binding upon either the state or the department of agriculture unless made in accordance with the princi- ples laid down under the heading "or- ganization and Cooperation
 The department under the appropri- ation act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914. was given power to regulate the preparation, sale and importation of viruses, serums, toxins and similar products intended for the treatment of domestic animals. The hog cholera act provides that not less than $50000 of tsa total may be used in this work.
 The purpose of the work is to pro tect farmers from serums that are either dangerous, under strength. or ineffective.
