S1NI1 BEEF
Dr. Daniel Says City Is Dumping,
Ground, Introduces Ordinance,
and Row Follows.
SAA A.NNAH, Dei . Hi.—The- first
r^al tplit in the Davant administra-
'Hion is widening to-day. following the
opposition that developed at the
Council meeting Wednesday to Dr. J.
W . Daniel’s ordinance to protect the
city from what he termed the “dump
ing ground for all the bad meat in the
South.”
. \\ hen Alderman Daniel drew up the
bill, he had the support of a majority
of the administration leaders, with
whom he was closely affiliated. The
one point of argument was a section
that would make It necessary for all
meat to l>e shipped into the city with
the viscera attached, so that the In
spector might determine whether it
was diseased.
Alderman Slater, who is an adinin-
* istration man. is engaged in the meat
business and handles fully 50 per cent
of the beef that comes to Savannah
butchered in the State. He strongly
opposed it and asked tliat his Section
be stricken out.
instead of so doing. Alderman Dan
iel amended his ordinance and made
t even more rigid, by adding the
amendment to prevent packers from
opening cars of meat until the C!kv
Inspector had bfokeh'the s^als and
certified the meat.
When the hill was offered in Fouri-
» il Wednesday night and voted down,
the charge was openly made by Al
derman Daniel that lie was bucking
the machine, while the other side re
plied that the ordinance was intro
duced to stop the importation of
State-killed beef in the interest or a
local packing house.
The allegation was that-beef would
then have to b«* shipped into Savan
nah on the hoof and that the packing
ompany could pay the farmer just
what price it pleased, a practice that
the Aldermen stated the company had
been engaged in for several months.

Indian Commissioner Sells, and

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. • V mas;-
nifleent business opportunity is open
to the American Indian in the Went.
Northwest and Southwest.” says t’atoi
Hells. (/ommlsHioner of Indian Affairs.'
‘With practical}' a monopoly of the
finest grazing land that is left—tens
of millions of acre* of it lie may be
come the cattle king of the future.
’The days of the white cattle kings
are not so long pa»t. but they are
gone. Th/? Indian was the herdsman
of the buffalo for generations, lie is
a natural herdsman, and lie is to be
come h herdsman of white-face cattle
on a large scale. While assisting in
the work of reducing the coat of liv
ing to the average American by in
creasing- the supply of beef cattle, the
Indian also will materially increa ->0
his own income.”
Would Develop Stock.
Commissioner Sells has an ambi.ious
plan for the development of the live
stock industry on Indian reservations
and among individual Indians who
own their land.
The 327,425 Indians of the country
own horses, mules, cattle, sheep and
goats valued at millions.
“I was amazed to find tliat ’’he
herds quite generally were run down.”
says Mr, Hells. ’‘Realizing that a
wonderful opportunity was open to
the Indians. I Immediately took steps
to build up the herds in all sections
of the'Western country. It would be
criminal, to say nothing of unbusi
nesslike, to permit such an opportuni
ty to pass.
See* Greet Opportunity.
'With the population of the country
Increasing constantly and the supply
of beef cattle gradually diminishing,
with the Indians owning the finest
grazing lands In the country—all that
is left In really large areas - I was
confident I saw a combination that
could not be beaten.
‘We are anxious to have the In
dians take hold of the live stock busi-
nes on a large scale. The policy here
after will he to refrain from renew
ing leases to white men for grazing
stock on Indian lands when the land
can be economically utilized ny th«
Indians* with competent expert assist
ance."

“1 wonder when Jack'll get enough
gumption to pop the Question!”
Married Five Year*.
Now, gosh hang it. it .seems Decker
and Miss Kenton came over to New

married. So most of the time Decker
has been sitting in Miss Kenton’s
front parlor nights he’s been calling on
his own wife.
“Well, lflwsey me," say those same
; old ladies, “how under heavens were
I we to know that? He called regu-
I larly on Sundays and Wednesdays,
and always went, home early. They
j didn't act like they were married. It
wasn’t fair!”

Wants State Bureau
Of Vital Statistics
Dr. Latimore. President of Medical
Association of Georgia, Would
Guard Against Epidemics
SAVANNAH. De- 13.—Dr. Ralston
Lattimore, president of the Medical As
sociation of Georgia, and Dr. \V. F.
Brunner. Gltj Health Officer, who was
in charge of sanitation on the Island of
Cuba after the Spanish-American W ar.
have started an active campaign among
physicians of tin* Mate, to have the lea
Mature appropriate a sufficient amount
of money to maintain a bureau of vital
statistics.
Addressing the* Savannah Medical As
sociation. Dr. Brunner said that tHe cit
izens of the Stair were constantly men
aced with possible epidemics that might
spread from some of the Infected coun
ties because of the fact that no report
of it was made, and the physician* in
one county did not have any idea of
the disease in the county next or wheth
er visitors were not bringing smallpox,
meningitis or a number of diseases.
"No records are kept in tnis State of
the diseases or deaths from disease* tn
any places but Atlanta and Savannah.”
said Dr. laitiimore. “For this reason, it
is Impossible to study the cause or the
origin of the epidemics, or know where
to begin fighting them. The smnllpox in
Georgia or recent years has been of a
very light character. It might any sea
son become malignant. Without a bu
reau of vital statistics, we are con
stantly facing an epidemic of this or
some other contagious disease ”

gold camp on Seward Peninsula. Her
rise then was rapid. She worked
in Judge Fenton’s office for some
time, and then opened offices of her
own In Nome. She became known as
