Jackson; Miss, October 25.-(Special)- Superintendent of Education Powers has returned from a months outing, on which he was accompanied by the superintend- ents of most of the other southern states, during which they visited several of the states of the west and east, making close study of educational methods and facilities. Professor Powers declares his trip was not only a pleasant, but profit able, one, as he got ideas that will prove of great advantage to him in the manage ment of his office and the direction of the public school system of the state.
 Along educational, as we'll as most other lines. says Professor Powers, the New England states are about 100 years ahead of us Everything there tends to indus trial education, and it is in that line we are particularly weak though the recent ly established agricultural high schools are a long step in the right direction.

BRITISH VESSEL
 AND CREW HELD

St. Vincent, B. w. l., October 5.-Word has been received here of the seizure seV- eral weeks ago by the Venezuelan au- thorities of a British trading vessel at Margarita an island in the Caribbean sea- belonging to Venezuela, and the im- prisonment of the crew. The St. Vincent schooner. Lady Kensington, carrying live stock and vegetables for Trinidad, after sighting the Dragons Mouth was be- calmed. The schooner was carried far out of her course, and whife drifting off Margarita was seized by Venezuelan of- f1cers. This occurred on August g, and the crew and passengers have been de- tained as prisoners ever since. The own CT of the vessel has just receivd, through the Trinidad agent, a letter from the cap tain from the Lady Kensington. dated September 25, in which he says:
 I've are still imprisoned. Our own pro- visions have been exhausted and the gov ernment says that it has no food to give us''
 The governor of Trinidad has commun- icated with Sir Vincent Corbett, the Brit ish minister at Caracas, inquiring' as to the circumstances of the case and urging an official investigation. AS yet no reply has been received from the minister.

BEEF TRUST AFTER
 FOREIGN CHARTER

New York, October 25.-(special.) )-Go- ing the rounds in financial circles here is a report that the big packing inter- ests. which make up the so-called beef trust, are planning to form a holding company" under a foreign charter The supposed object of this move is to avoid prosecution. under both federal and state antitrust laws, for conspiracy in restraint of trade.
 The conviction of the manager of the Western Meat company, in California, un- der that states antitrust statute is thought to be the cause of the packers uneasiness. Nearly all other states have antitrust laws similar to that of Cali fornia, so that there may be a wide spread movement against the trust and it's various subsidiaries
 1t is unlikely that the packers will hold to the plan of seeking a charter abroad, cause the weight of legal opinion is to the effect that 1t would not bring about the desired immunity. It is said that some such scheme was advanced for the joint control of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads several years ago, but that the companies counsel de cided that a foreign company would stand no better chance than a domestic one. It was. therefore. determined to incor- porate the Northern Securities company in this country; this combination was finally declared illegal and was dissolved.
 The Western Meat company the man. ager of which was convicted in Califor- mia, is understood to be controlled by trust interests, as is the National Pack ing company in the east. The National Packing company has upon it's board of directors J. Ogden Armour l.. F. Swift, Ira N Morris and others associated with them in the meat-packing industry. This company, it is said, is already preparing to defend itself against suits that may be brought under various antitrust acts.

Memphis, October 5,-GSpecial )-That another cause other than street car ac- cident for the death of his wife will be claimed by the Pacific Mutual Life Insur- ance company, which is defendant in T0000 suit instituted by Dr. J. Baxter Fisher, was made evident yesterday when the hearing of the case was begun. On cross-examnation Dr. Fisher was asked whether or not the signature of his wife to the will which left to him all her prop erty had been forged but he replied that it was genuine.
 Under further questioning Dr. Fisher admitted that he had maintained two on Vance avenue In one of these he had installed Mrs. F. B. Jones, whose sud- den departure from the city was admitted by Dr. Fisher, and caused sensation in the courtroom Dr. Fisher said that he had advised Mrs. James to leave on the ground that an attempt might be made to blemish her character during the hear ing.
 pr. J. H. Liebkeman, who was on a Vance avenue car on the night of October 6, 1906, when Mrs. Fisher was hurt, test- fled that she was thrown against seat by a sudden lurch and fell unconscious in the aisle. He helped Dr. Fisher carry his wife home, but said only a superficial ex- animation was made of her injuries, and would not state whether or not they were fatal Mrs. Fisher died the next day.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
 SHOULD BE BROADENED

does not wonder that the south is making the raw material and the New England states the finished product for the very simple reason that they are trained to that work.
 Think of the money those folks have to devote to the cause of education, said the head of Mississippi's school department. In the state of New York we found the department of education is now erecting building to cost $S,5O .OO0-bigger and finer than our state capitol-and just for the educational department Here I asked the legislature to give me $500 to equip and furnish necessary desks and cases in my office in the capitol and got $250.
 Professor Powers states that everywhere they went they were met and treated with the greatest cordiality; they were dined and banqueted in several places; all of the great cities and colleges they visited seemed to take great pleasure in furnishing all that was asked in the way of information and rendered them every possible assistance in the study of their methods, so that l have come home more thoroughly convinced than ever that Mississippi must go deeper into the mat ter of industrial education.
