Do hogs have influenza? Dr. J. $. inspector. says they do. He made this startling statement yesterday afternoon to the members of the Southeastern States Veterinary Medical association in annual convention in the private dining room of the Tutwiler hotel.
 Dr. Koen's assertion elicited much laughter and a number of facetious questions from the visiting veterinarians but he stuck to his original statement.
 How do you know it is influenba? ?'' was asked.
 Well, it was not like hog cholera, nor any other hog disease I had ever diagnosed, and the symptoms were the same that l had when the doctor told me I had the influenza, promptly re- piled Dr. Koen. There was fever, swollen bronchials and all the other symptoms observed in human beings with the flu so I am sure it was influenza the hogs had
 That settled it. There were still doubt CTS, but they kept quiet while Dr. koen continued his discussion of hog cholera, he being an expert in this line, em- ployed by the government to observe and treat swine affected by it.
 There were between 40 and 50 members and visitors present when Dr. F. w. Morgan, the president, called the meet ing to order at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing all of the southeastern states being well represented and number of vet erinarians and representatives of manu- lecturers and dealers in veterinary ln- struments and medicines being in at- tendance.

Attorney General Directs Wilkinson To Confer With Tate On Condemnation Proceedings Against
 Property Of the CoHas Candy Company
Stade-Wide Interest in Cap ture of Two Big Stills and Final Outcome of the Case

No time will be lost in carrying out the intent of the law in the COlias case, according to Capt. HOr- ace C. Wilkinson, assistant attOr- ney general, who is in Birmingh am, Steps will be taken today looking to seizure of the property in which the stills were captured. Captain Wilkinson and Solicitor Tate will confer this morning. Following their conference proceedings will be filed in the chancery court. The chancellor will then probably call upon the owners of the property to appear and show cause why the property should not be seized. The case will then be on in earnest.
 "This is the first case involving this new and important statute," said Captain Wilkinson last night. "There is n disposition all along the line to see that these new laws are rigidly enforced and no time will be lost in this case.
 "A feature of the new statute to which attention has not been directed is the fact that the law is specifically directed against, the man who permits or allows his property to be used for the illegal manufacture of liquor, and the bur den of proof is on him.
 "AnOther feature of the criminal statute to which attention has not been called is the fact that each days operation of n still cOnsti- tutes a separate Offense, so that the fact that a man has been Op- erating for a long time goes against him instead of in his favOr."
