Enrico Caruso, of Metropolitan Opera
Co., Guilty of Annoying Woman.

New York.-Enrico Caruso, the
noted tenor of the Metropolitan
grand opera company. was found guilty
Of annoying a woman in the monkey
house of the Central park geological
garden and was fined $40. The verdict
was given by Magistrate Baker. in
the Yorkville police court, after a
hearing lasting three days.
Mrs. Hannah X. Graham, who caused
Caruso's arrest, did not appear against
him. The prosecution had promised to
bring her into court. but was unable
20 serve the subpoena. This brought
the case to a close. and Magistrate
Baker rendered his decision after sew
eral hours elaboration.
Attorney Dittenhoefer, counsel for
Caruso, when informed of the verdict,
said that an appeal would be taken.
The appeal will be beard before the
justices of the court of special ses-
sions probably within a week.
In his defense Caruso stated that
the woman smiled at him; that he
made no advances, and that his arrest
was due to the fact that he did not.
The prosecution placed a policeman
on the stand who said that he saw
the singer pinch the woman; that she
cried out and demanded his arrest.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS
A STRONG APPEAL
Cotton Men Urged to Support Their
Association.


President Walter Clark of the Mis-

Association has issued the following
notice and call TO the cotton growers and
business men of Mississippi;
HAS the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton accomplished any good? Do you
think it should be sustained, or shall 1t
go out of business? If you think it
should 60 out of business, come forward
and say so, like a man; quite like a mar
pay for what has been done, and say to
the world and those you have placed in
authority that your work has peer for
naught. Do not stay at home and say
Il told you so.' Shoulder your share OF
the responsibility and blame. Do your
part. Get right yourself. If you have
no confidence in those whom you have
placed in authority, displace them and
select others more capable. There is
no middle ground. Those who are not
with us are against us. Take one side
or the other and let us know where you
stand. Our annual election occurs on
the first day of December, at ii am.
Go to your voting precinct on this day,
where you vote for county and State
officers, and there organize by electing
a president, secretary and treasurer OF
your precinct, enroll your name and
pay your part of the assessment OF your
county for 1906 and 1907. After doing
this elect from two to five representa-
tives and instruct them to go to your
courthouse on the Sth day of Decem-
Der, and there, with the representatives
from the other precincts, elect your
county officers and State representa-
tives, and instruct them as to what you
want done.
THE State convention will be held
at Jackson on January 2. Each county
is expected to pay the expenses OF its
representatives, and if your treasurer
has not already sent it in, send by your
representatives the moneys collected
or the expenses of the national and
state officers. I feel convinced that
you will realize in a very short time
that you have already lost this season
fully $1,000, 600 by your lack OF CO.
