INQUIRY
 PEELACRA
 IN THE SOUTH
Health Service and Red Cross Answer Presidents Call-Estimates Are De- nied.

Washington, July 27.-Qhick re- sponse was made yesterday to Presi- dent Harding's call on the Public Health Service and the Red Cross to meet .the reported threat of a pella- gra epidemic" in large section of the cotton belt.
 Officials of the two agencies set immediately to work in an endeavor to carry out the presidents re- quest, and late inthe day held a joint conference. Officials of eight Southern states made their response in the form of protest that no such serious situation as has been pictured exists.
 Joseph Goldberg, pellagra expert of the Public Health Service, met in conference with Dr. Livingstone Far rand, chairman and other Red Cross officials, The session was quite long, and no information as to conclusions reached was disclosed Dr. Cumming said he would make
 
 report to the president today.
 The response from the South was widespread and varied. The Georgia senate adopted a resolution de- |no6ncing the 'srep6rt of a pellagra epidemic us damning;" the secre- tary of the State Board of Health declared the disease showed no in crease, and the Macon Chamber of Commerce telegraphed a protest to the White House. Florida's state health officer contended his state showed a decrease; the State Board of Health of Alabama also claimed decrease; the Tennessee Health Board reported nothing unusual; South Carolina admitted an increase, but no "semi-famine, and contended there was nothing alarming" Ark ansas reported nothing alarming, and Louisiana reported decrease. Mississippi acknowledged twice as many cases this year as last, but disclaimed an epidemic or semi famine"
 In all cases the state health of foeials took vigorous issue with the reports of the Public Health Service, which has publicly estimated that due to impoverished diet forced upon them by depression of the cot ton market. at least 100000 persons tn the Southern cotton belt will have pollagra and that 10 per cent of them will die. Dr. Cumming said hast night. however, that the Public Health Service Will stand by its figures.
 Acting upon a letter from Sena- tor nlal Of south Carolina, who call cd Co his attention published reports of thc Public Health Service an uounccmcni.

ware store to construct them furnace. They had. samples of ore which they declared was secured from the hills near KinZua. They had the ore assayed and they report it was pronounced sufficiently high grade to be produced in paying quantities.
 In the early days Warren county had silver mines that supplied the Indians with the silver beads they wore. There is hardly a section of the country that does not have legends of ancient mines from which the Indians obtained their silver The hidden lodes have never been found.
 An old legend has it that the Indians used to make their gods Of real silver. The mine was as fabu- lously rich as that of the Incas and Montezuma. One tribe had the se- cret of this great treasure house. but guarded it very closely. Then one day, as the tale goes, the earth slid and plotted out both mine and operators.
 At any rate folks around l<inzua are again dreaming about fabulous riches.

The scene of the accident was near the homes of Med Donaldson and Dr. Ellington. The latter was immediately summoned to the atten- tion of the wounded man and ad- ministered medical aid. A call for assistance was immediately flashed to Paragould and switch crew was hurried to the location and con veyed the injured man to the city and he was immediately taken to the hospital. He was unconscious when he arrived and it likely will be day or so before tbe full cx- tent of his injuries may be deter mined.

ROCK BLASTED
 AWAY AT TEST
 OF PRESTON co.
Casing Going Down-Well Reported at Very Inter- esting Depth-Drilling in Poinsett.

A heavy charge of dynamite was used in the test well of the Preston |Oil & Gas Company Monday after noon to blast away rock obstruc- tion that was preventing the lower ing of the ten-inch casing. The blast was successful. The same pro cess was successfully used a few days previous. Drilling was resum- ed yesterday and it is said, satisfac- tory progress is being made.
 The drill is now penetrating an other rock formation, according to from the wells location this morning. and it is rumored that the drillers are of the opinion they are pretty close to a very interest ing struce. The rock the bit is now pounding away upon is said to very closely resemble that above oil and gas stratas, being of a heavy, dark sandy formation.
 MT. Black, one of the head drill- CTS. has contended for several weeks that he was interested in the level |around 1 200 feet and it is, appar- |cntly, reliably reported the opera |tions now are very close to that depth Persons who have been watching the drilling closely went to the location this afternoon and, we are told, will keep a close tab upon the situation during the next flew days.
 Mr. Black was in the city during most of today attending to some business matters for the company land said he would go to the Love- Ilady farm late this afternoon and resume his work in the drilling. He gave out no statement, however, |other than that he felt much inter ested in the present depth of the hole
 Report From Harrisburg. A report gained circulation in the city yesterday to the effect that the second well of the Scott drilling Sy uuICdlc, pCHSbi III iOiioS'o county, was nearing the depth where a test of the hole would be

At Hast account from the well it was being drilled around 2000 feet, and. lit is reported, an oil structure was being looked for at about 2,3O0 feet The Scott people have started their third test in the section of Harrisburg, the three holes forming a triangle near the center of which Harrisburg is situated. The first well is remaining as it was the day

Old Herald
Building Soon
To Come Down
Medicine Maker Takes Long
Lease of Property, and
Will Replace II With a
Tall Office Structure

The Herald Building, iii Herald
Square, has been leased by Nicholas
C. parlos, head OF the partola Manu-
featuring Company, makers of candied
medicine, who plans TO replace the
present low structure, erected in 1858
for James Gordon Bennett by Stanford
White, with enc of twenty stories, To
be used principally as headquarters
for his company.
The heroic bronze emiths, known
as Cuff and STUFF, who had been
striking out the hours night and day
on the big bell on the top Of the south
ern facade of the building for the last
twenty-eight years, and the goggling
owls that had watched from their lofty
perch on top of the building during
these years were removed last month,
for they were the property of the late
MIR. Bennett.
A twenty-years lease was secured Oh
the property yesterday by the medi inc
man from the Manice estate, owner of
the property, through II. H. Frey, of
Douglas l.. Gilman & Co. Mr.. Parlos
is understood to have agreed to pay
$4,000 year for the use of the tri-
angular block, which rental will total
in twenty years S3,0o0,o00 said to bo
the valuation on which the owners have
been holding it for rent
The city values the land at S2,3d2.-
600 and the site with the building at
S2,500,000. Seventy years ago mem
ber or the Manice family acquired the
block and other property in the vicin-
ity for $500. II has been a source Of
large income to the family. Many Of
fers have been made to buy the block,
but the Manices have refused to listen
to any deal that would separate them
from this valuable property. When
The Herald and Telegram lease ex-
pired several weeks ago overtures
were made TO the Manice family for
the fee of the site, but it answered
that the realty was in the market for
rent only.
According to the terms OF the lease
which Mr.. Bennett made with the
estate years ago, the interesting
structure became the property OF the
owner Of the fee on the expiration of
his control. Mr.. Parlos gets the struc-
ture with the site. FIe plans to alter it
and use it for about a year, when he
will take it down and or the land put
UP structure of great income pro-
ducing capacity.
The Herald Building was designed
after we'll known Italian building.
It was the most costly exclusive news
paper Office in the world when COM
pleted. Marble was largely used in its
construction.
