NOW IT'S QUAIL DISEASE
THAT HAS APPEARED
GOVERNMENT PROHIBITS IMPOR-
TATION OF QUAIL TO UNITED
STATES FROM MEXICO.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Owing to
the prevalence of quail disease among
quail imported from Mexico at the
ports of New York city and Eagle
Pass, Texas, dulng the past month
the department of agriculture has
suspended issue of further permits
for entry of these birds this season.
Quail in shipments actually en- route
to the United States on January 20
will be admitted to quarantine, but
no further entries will be authorized.
Most of the states now have such
stringent game laws that it is impos-
sible to purchase quail even for pro-
pagating purposes in the United
States, and dealers have sought quail
elsewhere, especially in northern
Mexico. where quail are in abund-
ance, but Mexican quail on arrival
at destination are frequently found
infected with quail disease. So fatal
is it that most of the birds which are
exposed to it die within few days.
In one shipment Of 1876 quail which
recently reached New York only three
birds survived the voyage; in anoth-
er of about $50 birds more than two
thirds of the number died shortly
after arrival More than one-third
of all the Mexican quail imported last
year died within few months.

FLOOD DOES TEN
MILLION DAMAGE
Eight Lives Lost in Arkansas, ThOus-
ands Rendered Homeless, Many
Stock and Cattle Drowned.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Eight lives lost
and property damage to the extent
perhaps of $10,OO0,O00 was the re-
suit today of the floods that were
sweeping sections of Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi and Kentucky. Hundreds Of
head of live stock have been drowned
and there is much suffering among
thousands of people rendered home
less.
Six lives were lost near Watson,
Ark. one at Lake Village and one on
the Arkansas penitentiary farm at
Cummins, Ark. Levees on the Mis-
sissippi and tributary streams have
broken in many places, flooding many
thousands of acres of rich farming
land and driving people from their
homes.
On the Arkansas penitentiary farm
at Cummins 600 convicts still were
marooned, efforts for two days to
rescue them having proved inetfect-
ual.

CONGRESSMAN SEND LETTERS
TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Later adyices from Washington are
that on Thursday afternoon the en-
tire Georgia delegation Joined in a
letter to Attorney General Thomas
w. Gregory protesting against any
proceeding against or trial of Thos.
E. Watson outside of Georgia. The
letters was signed by each of the
twelve representatives from Georgia.
The senators did not join in it.
The position of the Georgia dele
cation is that the state of Georgia is
able to settle all her own matters and
that to bring proceedings, if any are
to be brought, outside of the state
would be reflection upon the honor
of the state; further, under the law,
no such proceeding, it is claimed, can
be brought except in the state.
Five Indictments Wanted.
Information received in Atlanta,
which appears to be reliable but
which cannot be verified is that the
United States department of justice,
i'm it's official Investigation of the
matter pending against Mr. Watson,
has under advisement the bringing
of the first of these cases in the fed
eral court in Atlanta, and the four
other contemplated cases in other
states,

CENTRAL RAILROAD WINS
SUIT BROUGHT BY STATE
viii Not Have to Pay Back Taxes on
This Division of Its System.


The Central of Georgia won out in
Fulton superior court Saturday be-
fore Judge w. D. Ellis in its fight to
prevent the state of Georgia from col
lecting back taxes from the South
western railroad (this division of the
Central railroad system from Macon
to Montgomery and the Augusta and
Savannah railroad, both of which are
leased by the Central.
Judge Ellis signed an order max
ing permanent the temporary injunc-
ton that had been granted to stop
the tax collection. A very large sum,
a good many thousand dollars, were
involved in the litigation.
The attorneys for the railroad
made the point that the two leased
roads were protected by provisions
in their charters which saved them
from any greater taxation than one
half of one per cent on their net earn
ings. 1t was contended that the state
was seeking to collect more than this
amount of taxes.
The injunction was directed to
Comptroller General VIM. A. Wright,
who was moving to levy executions
on the Central.
