that made by C. J. Harris, when he
sold an interest in the C. J. Harris

This deal has been on for some
time and was closed the latter part

dent and H. W: Boyd, who is pres

DOCTORS TO REPORT

The Bureau Of tuberculosis of
the State Board of Health is now
ready to enforce the law requiring
physicians and institutions of
the State to report all cases
of tuberculosis coming to their
attention. DR.. L. B. McBrayer, of the
State Sanatorium, is superintend-
ent of the Bureau of tuberculosis
and is making every effort to put
this law into effect as soon as pos
sible.
The State institutions and all
physicians have been informed as to
the nature OF the law and plans of
the work, and no time will be lost
in putting it into operation.
The object of this law, it is claim
ed, is two fold. In the first place it
is absolutely essential to know the
number and location of all cases of
tuberculosis in the State if the dis
ease is to be speedily and success
fully combatted. In the second place
knowing the location of cases OF the
disease, home instruction may be
given the patient and family direct
which it is thought will greatly pre-
vent the further spread of the dis
ease.

SHIPMENTS OF
 FOODSTUFFS ENORMOUS
COTTON IS ONLY THING GROWN ON THE FARM THAT SHOWS
 A FALLING OFF.

Washington, March 24-American breadstuffs worth $35S,091,S23 were shipped abroad during the eight months period ending February 2S last, as compared with $115,215,SS1 for the same period of the preceding year.
 Figures given out today by the de partment of commerce showed the greatest increase was in wheat ex- ports, which rose from $6G654, eos a year ago to S229, ,2O5,142. For last month alone the breadstuffs export totalled $62,S75,959, compared with $S,772 255 in February. 1914, and the wheat export increased from $3,S95,- JS95 10 $38 ,399 993.
 The departments tables do not show the destination of these ship. ments, although it is known that the great bulk of them went to feed the soldiers and civilian populations of the belligerent countries of Europe
 Exports of corn and oats also leaped upward by millions of dollars hast month, and the eight months period, and in February cotton ship ments showed an increase approxi- mately twenty million dollars over the same month year ago
 The total of cotton exports for the eight months period, however, fell be- low the 1914 figures by more than S200, 0,000,000, the respective amounts being for 1914 $49S,91O,358; for 1915, $243 ,947, ,192
 Some idea of the part American beef is playing in feeding the men in the trenches may be gained from the fact that exports of fresh beef in. creased last month to $l7,S13161 from $513,845 in February the preceding year, while during the eight months period the total export was $57 ,O00,00O greater than in 1914. Canned beef valued at $7,264.72 went abroad last month, as against $243,766 year ago

SAY MEN KILLED
 MALVERN ROBBERS
PICTURES OF TWO MEN SHOT AT PLEASANT HILL WERE SAME
 WHO KILLED CONSTABLE.
w. F. Williams, Formerly of This City, and Edward Miller, We're the Men Who We're Identified From Photos.

Yesterday officers at Malvern iden- tified photos of w. F. Williams and Edward Miller, two men hanged at Pleasant Hill, Mo, by mob as the two men who committed robbery in that city last December, and on the same night shot and killed Constable Henderson Parker at Magnet Cove.
 It will be remembered that after the shooting of the constable near this city, Hot Springs officers joined with Malvern officers in a pursuit of the men over this and the adjoining county. and were surprised when the men made good their escape after the close manner in which the ground had been covered.
 Recently robbers became engaged in a shooting affair with the officers of Pleasant Hill, and the Missouri of ficers gave stirring battle. Edward Miller was shot and killed in the af, fair, and one police officer met death. w. r. Williams was not injured in the shooting, but was hanged by a mob.
 The dead men were photographed and these photos sent broadcast to the police When Chief Ellison re ceived the photos he discovered the likeness of the men to the descrip tions of the men who were wanted at Malvern for robbery and murder. and forwarded the photos to Malvern where later in the day they were posi- lively identified.

WAGNER's TEAM BEATEN.
Pittsburg Regulars Win Their First
 Game of Season Yesterday.


 There was great joy and jubilation in the Pittsburg Pirates regulars camp last night. Thanks to the tenn. porary ineffectiveness of Pitcher Babe Adams. the Yanigans were over thrown and, for the first time since Hot Springs was reached, the big fel- lows tasted of the sweets of victory. ing in the sixth frame, the first pitched by Adams. During this ses- sion four blows were struck, these consisting of a single, triple and two two-haggers. This was the only round in which the Kegs were able to connect with any degree of effective ness, and they were outhit II to z, and Honus Wagner and his young sters lost the game at Wilmington park.
 Unlike some of the games which lad preceded it here, yesterdays con- test was just a common barnyard Va iety affair There were no sensa- tional catches, no triple plays and nothing which caused the fans to cheer. Harmon and McQuillan who chucked for the big fellows kept their hits scattered and while Cooper was on the hill for the Youngsters every thing was rosy-hued and bright. Adams little lapse, however, spilled the beaas, although truth to tell had it not been Altenburg's misjudging of Vioxs triple, the result might have been different, just slightly different
 The Yanigans had chance in the eighth when after sending a runner over, they densely populated the sacks and put it up 10 Douglass Baird to produce. A single would have scored two runs and a double would have tied the score McQuillan. however. fooled Baird the latter striking out OF a low curve
 Fred Scheeren was on first base for the Yanigans. Wagner at sccGnd and Baird at Third. At the last minute Manager Clarke decided to bench both Leonard in addition to McCarthy and it is probable that the llueups presented today will be continued for some time. during the remainder of the stay of the team at Hot Springs at least.
 Scheeran covered the initial sack like a veteran He reached out for bad throws and got everything he was supposed to get Eleven chances came his way and all were neatly handled. Wagner played a bang-nl game at second. accepting nine chan ces without a miss Once the German went out into short right field, stopped Hinchman grounder and threw the runner out. This play was as good as any witnessed during the day. Wagner created much fun by trying to steal home and was only caught after lively chase in which the famous star of the National league ducked and touched the plate but was declared out for stepping too far off the base path.

 It was the first real lively game the Bostons had staged as the boys had been taking their practice by easy stages. Yesterday Manager Carrigan noted that the boys had an extra sum of enthusiasm, probably occasioned by the fact that the day was ideal, and the games from this on al Majes- tic park will no doubt be witnessed by large audiences.
