Xew York, Jan. 27. In order tial
the public might better understand
the Bureau of Social Hygiene, John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., today gave out a
statement explaining the origin, work
(nd plans of that institution. The
bureau, he said, came into existence
about two years ago a a result 0 th
work of a special grand jury ap
pointed to investigate the white alave
traffio in New York city. This jury
recommended that a public commis
sion be appointed to study the social

(Mr. Rockefeller waa foreman of that
grand jury and ha thereafter gave the
subject, deep thought and conferred with
a large number of leading men and
women. These conferences," says Mr,
Rockefeller, "developed the feeling that

Cut Cotton Crop in the Jackson Terri
tory.
Jackson. The extent of the agricul
tural evolution brought about by the in
vasion of the boll weevil is strikingly
illtisl rated by a compilation of figures
showing receipts of wagon cottwi at
sixty intrior market points in the terri
tory contiguous to Jackson, as compared
with receipts for former years.
During the season now drawing to a
close, tho receipts of wagon cotton
amounted to only 91,601 bales, as com
pared with 130,892 bales in 1911, 216,922
bales in 1910, 249,4H0 bales in 1909. and
381,386 bales in 1908. ,
Theso figures cover t"he period since
the boll weevil first invaded Mississippi,
and furnish a fair illustration of what
cotton growers may expect in other
states where the pest has commenced its
ravages.

Jackson. The Mississippi state board

November, 1912, find the number of
deaths from homicide and burns to be
unusually high. Homicide was respon

were white and 30 negroes. This cause
was responsible for 2 per cent of all the
deaths.
Among the negroes homicide was re
sponsible for more deaths than either
typhoid fever or malaria, and more
deaths than was caused by cancer, diph
