me statement of Judge j. Richard
Wihgheld, published In The Times-Dis-
patch yesterday In connection with the
report that he inspired the resolution
passed by the House of Delegates criti-
ciZing the State Corporation Commits
sion, of which he Is n member, is the
absorbing topic Of conversation in Off
cial circles.
Some OF the officials expressed the
opinion that Judge Wingfleld had acted
In very bad taste, although they con-
coded that 1t was his privilege to con-
denim the commission IL he so desired.
Judge William f. Rhea, OF the COM
mission, declined to discuss the matter.
Judge Robert r. Prentiss, president Of
tho commission, has been out of the city
since Thursday.
officers connected with the State Cor
poratton Commission are likewise silent.
The fact Is commented upon that
Judge Wingfield has been on the COM
mission several years. and has Away,
participated In the assessments of rail
roads for which the commission was
censured by the House OF Delegates. vet
the records do not show that he offered
any protest or suggestion looking to
the raising OF the assessments at any
time. The records fail to show that he
at any time took advantage of his right
TO file his dissent when the rates were
fixed.
Another circumstance that has pro-
voked adverse criticism of Judge Wing
fields giving countenance to the resolu-
ton offered by Delegate Page, OF Abe

ton in the final hours OF the special ses-

Friends of Detective Sergeant willy,

described as a gambling establishment,
aver that the witness magnified a tri-
ninS incident, distorting a jocular re-
mark made by willy into n serious mat

Joshing" his companions of the detec-
tive force and playing practical Jokes
on them; that he is famous for lust such
pranks as the incident described by

TEACHERS TALK OF DETAILS OF
 THEIR DUTIES
Dr. Jordan Spea ks on "Judgment' at Tester
 days Session of Institute.

Opening the daily session with the singing of "The Star Spangled Ban ner," the county institute for white teachers yesterday held another most interesting meeting, which was again largely attended. The teachers arc faithful in their work at the institute and it promises to be the most suc- cessful institute ever held in Jeffer- son county, in every way.
 Rev. Marion Nelson Waldrip, pastor of the Lakeside Methodist church, made a talk to the teachers, in which he gave some excellent advice, based on his studies of human nature.
 At the conclusion of Dr. Waldrip's address, the primary teachers ad. journed to their room, and Miss Mary Royette. who, with Miss Mary Will Winters. is in charge of the primary work, again had model class and explained the latest method of teach ing reading. Miss Marjorie Reyburne had her model class in phonics, and Mrs. Broderson spoke on methods of teaching spelling.
 In the work of the higher depart ments, which is in charge of Prof B. H. Glenn, Miss Virga Moore spoke on "Thc Successful Teacher" Prof Junius Jordan, superintendent of the city schools. spoke on Judgment and stressed the value of this facul- ty by the teachers. explaining how useful it is to the conscientious teacher, when properly exercised. Lit tie Miss Edith Patterson gave an ln- teresting reading, while Master James Wilson and Master Jack Lawton en- tertained the teachers with thell declamations.
 Prof. J. R. Allen, principal of the High school, closed the days session with a most interesting talk on dis cipline The teachers gave close at tention to his talk on this most i'm portant subject, and Prof. Allen hand led the topic in clear, demonstrative style.

Water Recedes About Six Inches During Past 24
 Hours at This Point.
HEALTH OFFICER BUSY
Lime and Oil to Be Used in Maintain- ing Sanitary Conditions in City Ter. rltOry Affected by FIoOd-Streets
 Suffer Damage.

The river is falling rapidly here, and as the stage of the river is low cred, there is a coincidental fall in the level of the water in the old lake bed and at the places where Sixth avenue and Second avenue are cover ed.
 When the gauge was read by Local Observer J. H. Hudson yesterday morning, it showed stage of 267 feet, fall of two-tenths of a foot in the 24 hours immediately preceding. It is estimated that the fall yesterday amounted to 3 or 4 inches, if not more, this estimate being based on the apparent reduction of that much in the depth of the water running over East Second avenue The street cars on that line resumed operations without the transfer system, and the water yesterday afternoon was not deep enough to interfere with any ve- hicles.
 With the falling of the water, there will be started considerable work by the city authorities, with the view of protecting the health of the residents of Pine Bluff. Mayor Bloom announce ed yesterday that plans have been completed for the use of a great quantity of lime and of much oil, in maintaining sanitary conditions in the territory affected. The lime is to be thrown over the ground as the water recedes, while a surface coating of oil will be placed on all pools of Wa ter remaining as the flood stage sub sides. The lime will purify and the oil will have the same effect. while also preventing the breeding of count less mosquitoes.
 Already reports have been receiv~- ed of nauseating odors at several points, one location among these be- ing at Tenth and Florida street. This and other places complained of will be treated with lime and oil today.
 Reports are being received by the authorities of the bad and even dan gerous condition of some of the streets which are still partially cov- cred with water. Several teams have been in danger on East Seventh ave- nue. from the east side of Pennsyl- vania street all the way to the bayou. So far as is known, not a single head of stock has been drowned or other wise lost, but desperate efforts were necessary to save livestock at several times~.
 A team of mules attached to an empty wagon of the Consumers Ice & Fuel company had a narrow escape yesterday, twice being safely remov-. ed removed from dangerous places only by the concerted efforts of a number of men.
 There are said to be a number of very bad holes in East Eighth avenue and specially at night is it said to be dangefous driving through that section of the street. As soon as the water recedes, so that work can be dc ne on the stcaat, the city street force will be put to woor;i this and other str ,ets which have leen damaged by the flood waters .
