MISS KEARNEY
To ADDRESS
SCHOOLS
Woman Suffrage Advocate to
Visit University and
A. & M. College.

JACKSON, Miss, April 1O.-Miss
Belle Kearney, of Flora, Miss, national
vice-president of the w. c. T. u, and
one of the most prominent workers
for women suffrage in America, who
was in the city yesterday attending
the annual convention of the A1issis-
sippi Woman Suffrage association, has
accepted invitations to address the
educational institutions, the Universe
ty of Mississippi Industrial Institute
and college and the Mississippi A
and NJ. college, and will fill these en-
gagements within the next few days.
Miss Kearney will fill several other
lecture engagements in the state, aft
er which she will go to Missouri ana
Kansas for a spring lecture tour,
spending the summer on a similar
mission through the western states.
Relative to the progress of the
movement for women suffrage in Mis-
sissippi, Miss Kearney says that she
is much encouraged, and believes that
the fair sex will eventually be recog-
nized by the lawmakers of her native
commonwealth. She is also an ear
nest advocate of optional compulsory
education for the white children OF
the South, and believes that it would
be possible to enact such a law in
Mississippi without in any way con
travening or violating the constitu
tion.
In view of the fact that compulsory
education for white children is to be
one of the principal subjects of dis
cussion at the annual meeting of the
Mississippi Federation of Women's
clubs, to be held at Brookhaven, OIL
April 20 and 81, the endorsement Civ
en- to the movement by the Woman
Suffrage association is regarded as OF
much value, and it is expected that a
strong fight for legislation of this
character will be made at the January
session of the law-making body.

BOUVY VERDICT
WAS SURPRISlNG;
MISTRlAL ENTERED

PLAQUEMINE, La, April 1O.-At-
torneys for Fabian Bouvy, charged
with the murder of Prof. Fred S. Van
Ingen, in whose case a mistrial re-
suited yesterday, today made applica-
tion for bail for the prisoner. Judge
Schwing heard the argument of the at
torneys, then announced that he would
take the matter under consideration.
He said it was a petition which de-
served serious deliberations and that
he would be unwilling to make a de-
cision Immediately. Asked when he
would announce his decision he said it
might be next week, or even the week
after. Bouvy was sent back to Jail to
await the result of his attorneys pray
er.
The mistrial entered did not cause
much surprise, but when it was said
on good authority that as many as
four of the jurors had stood far ac-
quittal the expectations of many OF
the defendants friends were far sur
passed. 1t leaked out of the jury room
yesterday that all were for conviction
and only disagreed over the extent of
the punishment, but if such was the
case at that time several of the jurors
must have changed their minds.

$15O,OOO This is in addition to the
already large investment of the trac-
ton company in Hattiesburg.
In addition to the operation of the
street cars, the erection of the new
plant will greatly increase the ability
of the company for supplying lights
and power for commercial purposes
The old plant has been taxed to its
full capacity for a number of years,
and the service has been impaired at
times because Of the inability of the
company to meet the demands of a
growing city with the means at its
command.
The machinery for the new plant
will be installed with a view to still
further enlargement as the city grows
and expands, the unit system prevail
ing throughout in the arrangement of
the engines, boilers, dynamos, etc.

W De IIdfSIoluS lHe SIIeSIS VI the CITY
has been known today to only a few
of the business men, hence the an
nouncement to the general public VIII
come in the nature of a pleasant sur
prise. In this respect Hattiesburg has
been somewhat behind some of the
smaller cities of the state, where
street cars has been operated profita-
bly, for several years.
The Hattiesburg Traction company
was about to install cars when the
financial depression came on. Bonds
had been issued, but there was no
market for such securities, hence the
matter had to be deferred. But the
real promoters of the city of HatLtes
burg have not lost heart. Realizing
the need of street cars, they have
never lost hope that the need would
be supplied.
The consummation of the project is
now at hand, and the enterprising Cit
liens of the city realize that it means
much to the future growth and pros
perity of the town.

COX IS
ADMITTED To
BOND
Shot and Killed Frank Funke
at the Quinley Boarding
House in This City.

The preliminary hearing Of Leslie
Cox, charged with the shooting and
killing of Frank F. Funke, which was
before Justice J. E. Davis this after
noon, resulted in the defendant being
granted bail in the sum Of $4,000.
Only one witness of the shooting
was introduced, and he was Foreman
Hilliard of the Watkins machine
works. He was put on the stand by
the state as the only eyewitness OF
the shooting.
Witness Hilliard as he came from
the dining room sat down in a chair
on the front veranda a short distance
from Cox, who was occupying rock
ing chair Shortly after the witness
had sat down, he heard some one
come out of the door leading to the
veranda and begin to use gross and
abusive language to Cox while back
of the chair occupied by Cox. Wit
ness saw that Funke was the man
cursing Cox. AS Funke came around
the rocking chair with his hat in hand
and in a threatening attitude as if
he intended striking, he said to Cox.
well, have you got enough?"
"Cox looked up at FIlnke and asked
him to quit his abuse and go away as
he did not want to fight or have any
trouble, but saying to Funke, You will
have to apologize to me for this
! Funke replied:
Yes, I will apologize and will crush
every bone in your body"
The witness said that fearing
| trouble, he asked Funke not to use
such language as he was, as the ladies'
in the house could hear him. Witness
then started for the steps as if leav-
ing, but decided that if there should
be trouble he ought to be with his
wife, who with himself were boarding
at the same house with Cox and
Funke. AS he started toward the
steps he heard blows as if hat was
being used and turning saw Funke
Strengthening out his hat
Cox in the meantime had gotten up
| out of the chair and had walked to-
ward the corner of the porch when
Funke started toward Cox. The wit
ness did not see the pistol until he
saw it in Cox's hand in the act of
raising it when it was fired.
Funke after he shot fell over on the
gallery railing and then to the floor.
|. The witness was somewhat excited
over the trouble, and the testimony
| was not clearly drawn out as to what
happened between Funkes use of his
hat and the time of the shooting.
c. w. Seblouc was introduced by
the state. He heard the shot while in
his room. Did not see the shooting.
On cross-examination he stated that
Funke was a powerful man, and much
stronger than Cox. 1t had been shown
by Witness Hilliard that Cox had a
broken arm, which he carried in a
sling.
The State rested and the defense
after consideration introduced no wit
nesses.
Both sides agreed to leave the ques-
tion of bond to Justice Davis and he
placed it at $2500.
Senator Watkins represented the
prosecution and Sullivan & Tally the
J defense.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
The Payne tariff bill passed the house
last night by a vote of PIT to 161. 1t
was a strict party vote with the ex-
ception of four Democrats from Louis
lana who voted with the Republicans
and one Republican (Austin of Ten
nessee) who voted with the Democrats.
There was much rejoicing among
lumbermen when it was learned that
no attempt would be made to place
lumber on the free list.
The day was filled with excitement
The efforts of Champ Clark, the Dem
ocratic leader, to recommit the bill
with instructions, signally failed.
One principal change in the bill was
the placing of petroleum on tht free
list.
Among other important amend
ments made since the bill came from
the committee, are those striking out
the provision for duty on tea and
countervailing duty provision on cot
fee. The elimination of a maximum
and minimum section of the bill was
also significant.
The patent law provision intended
to retaliate for the new British law,
was stricken out on account of being
international.
The so-called Joker" in the cotton
cloth schedule which it was claimed
would increase the duty of the Ding
ley bill several hundred per cent. was
corrected by proviso for a method
of counting the threads in the cloth
and being made the same as the pres
ent law.
The section restricting the contents
of packages of tobacco was amended
to conform with the present law. 1t
was ordered that the Union labels
should not be excluded from such
packages. Drawback to the section
was added to it could not be taken
advantage of for the purpose of spec
ulating in grain and the Philippine
free trade provision was amended sc
that rice cannot be admitted free
from the islands.
The countervailing duty clause or
lumber was stricken out but a strons
effort to place lumber on the free list
did not succeed.
