JEROME A WITNESS
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAY BE
PUT ON STAND.
LAWYER DELMAs TO QUESTION HIM
Desires to Know About Certain Ac-
tions Against Abe Hummel, One
Of His Star Witnesses.

New York, N. UT is reported
that District Attorney Jerome may be
called to the witness stand in sur
rebuttal by the defense. The purpose.
it was said, was to question Mr..
Jerome as to certain actio14 against
Abraham Hummel. This move was
taken as a reason for the defense al
lowing much of the Hummel testimony
to stand.
Declared Thaw Was Sane.
Answering the same hypothetical
questions in response to which the
~alienists of the defense declared Harry
X. Thaw was suffering from an un-
sound mind and did not know the ma
ture or quality of his act when he
shot and killed Stanford White, DR..
Austin Flint, the first expert called
Thursday by District Attorney Jerome,
in rebuttal, declared it to be his opin'
ion that Thaw positively did know the
nature and quality of his act and know
that the act was wrong. When court
adjourned Mr.. Delmas had not begun
his cross-examination of DR.. Flint, who
is the first of six alienists to be called
by Mr.. Jerome.
After receiving DR.. Flint's answer to
the Delmas hypothetical question, Mr.
Jerome had read to the witness the
prosecutions hypothetical question
which contained some 10000 words

Whereas the condition of law1ess-
ness existing in our city is a reproach
to decency and order, and
Whereas the officials who are
sworn to enforce the law, wink at
some of its most bagrant violations,
doing so perhaps on the false as
sumption that public sentiment de-
sires the evil, and
Whereas the pastors of the various
Protestant Christian churches believe
that it is only necessary to enlighten
the people in order to call forth their
latent energy, and cause them in d
sane and determined way TO demand
decent government and the enforce
ment of the law;
Therefore, By a concerted move
ment, every Protestant pastor will,
on Sunday, March 8, preach along the
line of higher citizenship, endeavor-
ing, by statement Of the need and
appeal to the better manhood of the
citizens, to arouse them to the point
where they shall demand that ou
government shall not be dictated to
by the lawbreakers, that the officials
be made to feel that these do not ex-
press the public sentiment. that the
town shall be made cleaner, and that
the young may be safeguarded.

GREATEST COUNTRY
IN THE WORLD

With the danger of an overflow
gone, confidence in Delta land and
property of all kinds has increased
and now investors can be assured and
our great levees are an ample safe
guard for all property that lies be-
hind them We have the greatest
country in the world. and the only
argument that could be brought
against it, since the malaria fallacy
has been knocked out by artisan
water, which we now have in abund-
ance, has been the inundation by the
overflow of the Mississippi river.
This has been satisfactorily refuted
by the manner III which the levees
have continued to hold the water
year after year. Now, nearly all of
the. northern States have more oven.
flows than we ever did have. and
there is far more danger of overflows
along the river courses in the north
-ern and eastern States than there is
in the great Mississippi valley.
Property values in the Delta
should increase steadily from now
on, and those people who have in
vested herre and who might have felt
tremor while the river was so high,
can congratulate themselves more
than ever now over their good in
vestment-Indiano1a Tocsin

living has greatly increased during
the past few years is equally we'll
known. That the various employees
whose salaries were less than 5000 a
month were entitled to this increase
was manifest.
At the same time the public
thought, for the moment, that some
thing like soul had found its way
into railroad corporations at last,
and the announcements were greeted
with expressions of appreciation
But it appears that the public was
mistaken, after all The employees
are to get their increase in wages,
alright, but it is the shipper who
must pay the piper at last.
1t is such action as this which in
flames popular resentment against
railroads and other corporations
Occasionally it IS a blind and ur-
reasoning antagonism, but what else
can the railroads expect when they
nullify one good deed by committing
bad one and finally resort to their
old method of making the people
bear the expense
The railroads in this country a, c
not at present in position to aggra-
vate the public with impunity 1t is
about up to them to make their
peace, and such action as that out
lined in the Record-H Herald editorial
IS not calculated have that effect

POSTOFFICE
SITE SELECTED
FINLAY'S PROPERTY. WASH
INGTON AVE. AND SHELBY
Is Selected by the Government An
thorities as the Most Suitab1R
Place for the $4,000 Postoffiea
Building-Site is Centrally Located

After long and anxious wait, the
postoffice site selection was finally
settled last Tuesday afternoon by
the authorities purchasing the Finlay
corner, Washington avenue and Shel-
by street. the purchase price being
$40 500
While great many of our citizens
were III hope that the old First Ma
tional Bank property. on the corner
of Main and Walnut streets, would
be selected, it is believed by the
greater majority that the sit selected
is the best offered Of all the bids
made. The site selected is more in
the center of the city than the others
aud is therefore more convenient.
The appropriation calls for
100000 postoffice building and it is
hoped that the new building will be
completed and ready for occupancy
in two years time. if not sooner.
Government buildings have bee erect
ed and completed in shorter time
than two years. but our people will
be satisfied if the Government prom
ise for a new building will be full
filled in two years.

VARDAMAN AND
WILLIAMS COMPARED

Yet from another point of view it
is easy to understand why Mississippi
should be tempered to prefer Mr..
Vardaman to MIR. Williams. The
weakness in the latter's makeup,
weakness shown in his leadership of
the House minority, is that he does
not know exactly what he wants or
how he stands politically. He can
not square himself within practical
conditions. Mr.. Williams has ex-
pended great deal of intellectual
energy in exploiting ideas on tariff
taxation which nearly everybody else
now III public life admits to be OBJ
solete.
He belongs by conviction to an
almost extinct schoo1-the school
school which held that our protective
tariff was born in iniquitv and ap-
Piled III folly, and that its effects
were IN a national sense absolutely
ljrrious and denoralizing The pro-
tective theorp was to economy, in
this schools opinion, what original
sin and total depravity were to the
ology National development under
our tariffs has made that contention
ludicroas. But Mr.. Williams still
clings to it, and while other political
leaders, both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. are prepared to reduce the
tariff on the ground that in many
lines of industry present rates are
not needed for its beneficient work,
he still argues that it never was any
thing but a monstruos outrage and
an incubus on national growth
This same haziness of vision has
cropped out in connection with the

THE SHIPPERS PAY
THE INCREASE

The executive officers. of railroad
in the East with an aggregate mile
age of 100000 at meetin~ held in
Chicago on "Wednesday, are said to
have taken steps which pave the way
for the railroads of the country to
get back the millions they have
agreed to pay their employees in the
form of an advance in wages.
The method adopted by these of
ficers. constituting the Central
Freight association, is to increase the
minimum which it is permitted to
load into car, by 10 per cent, so IL
will come about that the shipper,

KILLED In
CITY JAIL
MAJOR DAVIS WAS SHOT FIVE
TIMES BY POLICEMAN
Last Tuesday While Resisting the
Attempts of Officers to Land Him
In Cell-In Melee Davis Shot at
Officer Chipman-Was Bad Negro

A deplorable tragedy occurred in
the corridor of the city Jail last
Tuesday morning when Major Davis,
"a large and troublesome negro, was
shot FIVE times by policeman and
killed. But it was a case where stern
measures were needed and the po-
licemen felt it their duty to slay the
negro. or suffer some of the force to
be either killed or seriously injured
Major Davis was arrested by Po
l1ceman Vaught for purchasing a
pair of shoes worth Sis for so cents
and walking away with the shoes
declaring that he would pay no more
than 10 bits" Policeman Vaught
had hard time with Davis and
called Policeman Chipman and Row
land to assist him. Davis fought the
three officers all the way to the city
bastlle and It took their combined
efforts to land him.
The policemen finally got him in
side the corridor of the jail, but
when they tried to place him in one
OF the steel cells. Davis fought like
a mad man, crazed and desperate
II was dubbed by the officers, but
the clubbing had no effect on him.
Davis grabbed Policeman Vaught-,
club when Vaught drew his gun, and
then Davis grabbed the gun and fired
at Officer Chipman, but luckily his
arm was hit UP by Vaught, the bull
let going over Chipman's head and
landing in the ceiling of the corri-
dor.
Believing that Davis meant to sell
his life dearly, the officers promptly
fred at him with their guns. five bull
lets piercing his body and he died
within few minutes
There were number of other pris-
oners in the corridor of the Jail and
had Davis succeeded in killing or
1njuring any one of the officers, the
the result would have been hard to
guess at. Davis was bad negro and
bad negroes are better off dead than
alive to work further harm in desper-
ate deeds.
Policeman Chapman was tried be-
fore the court of Justice O'Bannon
Wednesday morning on the charge
of killing Mayor Davis in the city
Jail. After listening to the evidence
by the witnesses, Judge O'Bannon
exonerated Officer Chipman of the
charge.
The evidence brought forth showed
that Davis was desperate negro
and that it was necessary to use dras-
tic means to quell him in his crazed
condition. The officers deeply re-
gret the occurrence, but there was
nothing else to do but to kill Davis
or one or more policemen to suffer
serious injuries. or even death, from
the gun IN the negro's hauds.

THE DELTA FAIR

We are glad to see that the pro-
gressive people of Greenville have
started a movement for an agricuI-
tural, live stock and poultry fair open
to all farmers and stock and poultry
raisers of the Delta and we want to
add Our mite in the way of encour-
aging the movement.
There is no question but what
such step as this proposed one,
does more to bring about dil orsii-
cation of products than any other
method employed. Then again it
creates an enthusiasm for the raising
of high grade stock and skilled farm
ing and shows up the folly of the
one crop-farmer and the cotton fam
atics.
The Delta Fair will do another
great and lasting good. IT will sho y
the products OF scientific farming
and those who attend the fair (and
there will be thousands) will see
what this great country of ours will
do, and many will go back home de-
termined to equal or exceed the ex-
hibitcd products of those at the fair.
The age of the "Bg Cotton
Planter" is rapidly passing into the
bankrupt courts" and the era of the
40 acres and a mule" fellow is now
coming here to live and that means
prosperity, good living, happiness
and well worked crops
Let's all take a stock in this Delta
Fair proposition and when we get
our first Fair ready, lets advertise
it well all over the State and in the
States of the Middle West and get
great crowd TO attend and see just
what this soil can do.-Indianola En-
terprise.

thinks that the Jim Crow regula-
tions can take care of themselves.
They are not national issue. Bun
Mr. Bryan's Government ownership
program is, and if the Democratic
party chooses to nominate Mr.. Bryan
with eyes wide open it will have to
stand for his ideas and make no pre-
tense of Saving him. from himself .
In this respect the Governor has
logic on his side, and logic tells in
elections. If Mr. Vardaman wins in
the Mississippi primary it will be
because the voters prefer a leader
who has pronounced and positive
opinions to a leader who does not
know exactly where he is at."-New
