STATE HONORED.
Mississippi Admitted Into Birth
Registration Area.

The following letter ,received
this week BY DR.. w. H. Watson
carries information that will be
welcomed by every citizen Of the
state who feels an interest in our
progress along health lines:
Mississippi State Board Of Health
Bureau Of Vital Statistics
Jacksno, Miss, August l, 1921
DIR. w. H. Watson, Brandon,
Miss. Dear DR.. Watson: It gives
me pleasure indeed to state that
the Bureau Of theCensus has ac-
cepted our Bureau into the Birth
Registration Area. This means
that we will transcribe each month
all the birth certificates and mail
them to Washington, for which we
will receive three cents per copy.
There will be some margin of
profit over the expense Of trans
cribing these certificates. Also it
is a great honor to be admitted in
to the Birth Registration Area,
our state being the first of all the
Gulf states to accomplish this
task. | feel that this is an honor
of which our public health organ
ization can justly feel proud. We
now have the best Public Health
Statistical Bureau of any states
south, and our morbidity records
are unexcelled by any state in the
Union. 1t now remains for us to
maintain our reputation and pro-
duce for the people Of the state
the best statistical records possi-
BILE to- obtain. This will give us a
fundamental basis also on which
to launch and maintain our entire
public >health~ program.
Thanking you for the assistance
yau have rendered in this UNDER
taking, and for the cooperation
Of the physicians in your congress
sional district, who have contrib
uted their share to this success,
and assuring you that we are now
ready and anxious for even great
err accomplishments, t am,
Yours sincerely,
r. w. HALL, M. D.,
Director, Bureau Vital Statistics.

Then Cudahy, wild with rage, slashe d

again and again with butcher knife.
MIS- oudahy ran to summon servants
| and ne struck her across the face with
the fashlight. She got to the tele-
phone and police came in answer to her
cries that man was being murdered.
The police found Cudahy in evening
clothes standing over the unconscious
Lillis. He told them calmly. "This
man ruined my home"
Lillis recovered in the hospital
quickly, as none of his wounds wa q
serious, but was SCARED for life. Re
did not prosecute his former friend.
Both Lillis and Mrs. Cudahy, who was
the daughter of General j. C. Gown. Of
Omaha, Neb., an eminent attorney and
friend OF President Mckinley, denied
vigorously there ever had been any
thing in their friendship to warrant
Cudahy's jealousy. Cudahy himself
afterward retracted his charge Of i'm
propriety with abject apology to his
wife.
Wife Obtains Divorce
Mrs. Cudahy divorced her husband
in August of that year, after telling
OF various indignities he had subjected
her to. The four children were placed
in the care of Cudahy's mother.
Mrs. Jack Cudahy left few davs
later with the children and when she
got to Chicago said they had disgp-
peared. This mystery was ended but
not thoroughly cleared up when it was
announced few months later they
had been placed in a convent in Los
angeles by their grandmother.
soon there were rumors that the
e;,iI co,upls were moving toward a recon
citation. Early in 1912 Mrs. Cudahy
and the children came to Kansas CITY
from the West and the Cudahys re-
sumed their domestic life. Both were
members OF the Catholic Church. which
did not recognize their divorce. Thev
participated in a civil marriage cere-
mony in June, 1912, however, in order
to prevent any legal complications
over the custody Of the children.
Cucahy was manager Of his fathers
packing plant at Kansas City, but he
!, loved gay life more than ne did the
packing business and finally was ousted
from his position. In 1913 he and his
family moved to Los Angeles, where he
built a beautiful home in the Holly
wood section.
But the wild streak in Handsome
Jack" cropped up at intervals. In De-
cember, 1914, Cudahy was sued by Dr..
and Mrs. B. c. Coates for 10000 dam
ages growing out of injuries Mrs.
Coates was alleged to have received at
Cudahy's hands. The doctor and his
wife had responded to Mrs. Cudahy's
telephone appeal for them to help her
get Jack home from his club. Jack had
to be subdued by force.

Cudahy had inherited, there began to

with the engineers and the fremen
would be resumed on Monday. Con-

Dr.. Fred G. Davis, Federal concilia-
