McLaurin, believing it a good
idea to take every precaution to
prevent further spread of the
disease. The infection so far
has only been in two homes, that
of A. M. Shields and ]. A. Lind
sey, and the cases in these homes
have all been in a very mild
form, with the exception of the
baby in the Lindsey home, who
succumbed to the disease Satur-
day morning. All necessary
quarantine regulations apply,
and it is hoped that no more
cases will develop. Swabs taken
from number of children who
had been exposed have been ex-
amined by DR.. Stingily, State
bacterologist, and all showed
negative test.

An Enthusiastic Good Roads
Meet Held tuesday.

Brandon had quite an interesting
good roads meeting Tuesday evening,
when Hon. j. nj. McBeath, chairman of
the State Highway committee, Hon. H
S. Howard, chairman of the Mississippi
Travellers Association, and others adj
dressed an enthusiastic crowd in sup
port of the construction of the East and
West Highway. Mr.. McBeath ex-
planned in detail that the road would
run from New York by Atlanta, Bir-
mingham, Meridian, Jackson, Vicks-
burg and on to San Francisco, CAL, and
that if the counties along the route of
the A. &. V. railroad would be active
and energetic, they could secure this
important link in the great East and
West Highway He also explained to
the people that the Mississippi Travel
ers Association would furnish an engi-
neer without expense to the county,
and that the United States government
would furnish another engineer to check
the work up so that there can be no
possible chance for waste of money.
He also explained that the United
States government will pay one-half
the cost of construction, provided the
counties along the line will pay the
other half. He also explained that the
government appropriation is made COW
ering period of five years and if the
counties do not take advantage of this
opportunity for government aid they
will not have an opportunity to do so in
the future.
Mr.. Edgar S. Wilson, president of
the Good Roads committee of the Board
of Trade of Jackson, made very in
teresting and instructive talk along the
lines of what had been accomplished in
the way of road building between Vicks-
burg and Meridian in the last fewyears.
Mr.. Gordon, president of the board of
supervisors of Kinds county, made a
plain, practical talk as to the good re-
suits from road building in Kinds coun-
ty, and Mr.. George Luckett, member
of the board of supervisors of Kinds
county, also talked along the same
lines
Mayor S. J. Taylor, of Jackson, as
usual, was on hand making good sug-
gestions and heartily endorsing the pro-
posed highway. Major Pat Henry was
master of ceremonies and introduced
of the board of supervisors of Rankin
county and member of the board from
this beat, was present and made very
fine talk and expressed himself as very
much interested in good roads work.
S. L. McLaurin, in a short talk, en-
dorsed the building of the road and ex-
pressed the hope that it would be COM
pleted at no distant date. Everything
was entirely harmonious and every
body was in good humor. The meet
ing was enthusiastic.

HEARING ON PROPOSED
PURCHASE OF FORESTS
House Agricultural Committee Will
Consider Spending sl0.000.000
for Lands IN East.

The House Agricultural Committee has
set January 2s for a hearing on the pro-
posed Weeks law. The law calls for the
insertion of an item Of 100000 in the
agricultural appropriation for the pur-
chase Of forest lands in the East to in
crease the Appalachian National Forest
Reserve. The hearing will be attended
by delegates from the Washington Cham
Der of Commerce and other local bodies
that are in accord with the proposed
law.
In 1911 Congress voted an appropriation
Of Sn.ooo.ooo for the purchase OF land for
national reserve. However, only IS 600. =
900 has been available for the purpose
and Of this amount s7.5oO.ooo has been
spent
Secretary Ridgedale, Of the American
Forest Association. discussing the matter
said:
III this appropriation Is not made now
the government ultimately will have to
spend a much larger amount TO secure
land for the preservation OF the timber
and water supply. The forests exercise a
tremendous influence on the water sup
ply and TO preserve the water supply the
forests must be preserved"

Civic Organizations Line Up to
Secure from Congress Adequate
Police-Firemen Pension Fund
Deficiency in District Pension Fund Is Now s6665668,
Having Fallen Short Every Year Since lS95-This
Year Shortage Will Be About $4,000

Aroused by figures printed in The
Herald several days ago, showing de-
aciency Of more than $4,000 in the police
ard hremen's pension fund, the civic or
ganizations Of the city are renewing
their efforts OF former years to secure
from Congress an adequate pension fund.
Since last Monday three organizations-
the Northeast Washington Citizens As
sociation, the Safety-First Association
and the Brightwood Citizens Associa-
tion--have pledged their support to the
men in their fight before Congress this
year. Patrick T Moran, president OF the
Chamber Of Commerce, and Edward F.
ColIaday, president Of the Federation OF
Citizens Associations. both stated dur
ing the week that they will endesvor to
have their organizations take similar ac-
ton.
II Il understood that the police and
fire committees of a number Of other
citizens associations will recommend
that their associations petition Congress
again this year to make adequate pro-
vision for the aged police and hremei.
of the District. who have devoted yea>
Of hazardous service to the city.
Oricials Of the District auditors once
who have seen pension bills die each
wear in the pigeon holes OF some COM
rnIttee Of Congress, expressed doubt yes
terday that Congress viii pass the oills
that have been introduced at this ses-
sion by Representative Cary, OF Wiscon-
sin, and Clark, OF Florida, unless the
bills are modified.
Congress Fears Question.
These officials have made thorough
study Of the pension question, and nave
declared they will support the men IN
securing an adequate fund, but they point
out that Congress has fought shy Of the
pension question for years, fearing II
they recognized one class of pensions
they would have to face civil service
pensions, mothers pensions, teachers
pensions, and other retirement laws.
In the case Of the local police and ire-
men, however, Congress established
fund more than thirty years ago, but has
failed TO make ample provision for meet
ing Il. Since 1911 the committee OF Con-
gress TO which the various pension bills
have been referred, have refused to recog-
nize police and iremen's pensions as one
The Washington herald., 1916-01-17

of the Districts legal debts. They have
clung to the view that the District Is
bound to pay these pensions only insofar
as the revenues collected for that pur-
pose are sufficient. When the bills that
have been introduced at this session are
sent to the Commissioners for approval
they will recommend what they think will
stand the best chances OF passing Con-
gress, bearing In mind the fate OF the
pension bills of former years.
On February IS, 1855, Congress author
lied the establishment of a pension fund
to be met by the following revenues:
81 a month from the pay of each man;
proceeds Of the sale of stolen and
abandoned property by the police de-
partment; fines imposed on members of
the departments for misconduct and do
nations. This suficed for a few years,
but, in 1895, the fund began to fall short,
and on June IL, 1886, Congress authorized
the Commissioners to use Police CourI
anes and dog taxes to make up de-
hciencies in the fund, This worked until
1910, when the total police fines and
dog taxes were no longer sufficient to
meet the deficiencies. Congress made no
further provision, however, and since that
time the pension fund has been deeper
and deeper in debt, until today, 1t owes
to the aged men, their widows and
children, S66,6S5.S. The denciency- mas
accumulated as follows:
Police fund-In 1911, deficiency of s1O,-
S3s.7 %; 1872, deficiency, l3,s2s56; 1913, s0,-
s4O64; 1914, $4,000; and 1915, H,5ooOs.
Total s4S, ,4s0.05
Firemens' fund-In 1911. deficiency Of
IS, 3o5.17; 1912, deficiency of s5,O63.Ss; 1913.
deficiency of 7.l39.ls; 1914, deficiency Of
81, ,I5.25; and ISIS, deficiency of 81, ,+S3.SS
Total, 81. 1853.
Grand total OF deficiencies in both de-
partments from 1911 to 1915, s66, ,6568.
Realizing that II was practically use
less to ask Congress to appropriate this
in one lump, the Commission
ers included in their estimates a request
for $4,000 to meet the deficiency which
the District auditor figures will certainly
occur this year.
At present s12,S0O a month is required
to pay the S6 police pensioners and 1A
fremen. These figures include the widows
and children of the men who have died.

A Long Way to New Zealand.


Mr.. Melville Stone had promised him
to send out ant-prohihition news If any
real news came up. Soon after, Mr..
Fox received a cablegram from New
Zealand telling of wet" victory there
As he knew the situation. he understood
just what had happened. This he ex-
planned to Mr.. Stone
Yes" said Mr.. Stone, IT would send
that out II it came through the regular
channels"
And how Is that?'
Why the Reuter- agency furnishes all
the news we get from New Zealand. 1t
would have TO come through that. Your
only way is to cable your agent in New
Zealand to give the news to the Reuter-
agent there and request him to send II to
London, and then our London man will
send 1t to US in New York and We can
send It over the United States"
At toll of some five dollars a word,
Mr.. Fox sent long cable to his New
Zealand agent telling him just what to
90 and to get Reuters man to send 1t
to London even if he had to pay the toll.
This was all done, and in time the same
news got to the Associated Press that
Mr.. Fox had originally told Mr.. Stone.
1t was then sent out to the American
papers, after having been cabled around
the world twice
That's a good many thousand miles of
red tape and circumlocution. On the
other hand, it shows a devotion to rule
and system that is almost childlike in
its sincerity.
