THREE-CENT RATE

Mississippi Railroad CompiS-
 sion Takes Decisive Vote
MANY PROTESTS MADE
Delegations of Railroad Men and cit- zens Appear Before the Com mission and Plead for Rates
 to Be Let Alone.

Jackson, Miss, May S--(Speclal. 1.-The railroad commission has held an all-day session in representatives, hail. where 200 railroad men and delegations from. cities and labor unions met to protest against the proposed 2-cent passenger rate. Prom inent officials of all railorads entering Mississippi were present and spoke earn estly against any interference with the present relations existing between the railroads and the people of Mississippi, most of them backing up their protests with figures to show that they are mak- ing no money on passenger traffic at the present Scent rate, and that cents would mean conhscation. It was freely stated that there is no demand for 2-cent rate, and that the railroads would go to court before they would obey such or ders if made.
 At the night session the railroad com mission took two or three votes on the 2 cent proposition. The first vote was to reduce the passenger rate to ? cents. That resulted 2 to 1, Commissioners Webb and Lee voting against and MT. Scott for The second proposition was for the 21s-cent rate and that went the same way. The next vote was to let the passenger rates in the state of Mississippi remain as they are at 3 cents.N Messrs. Webb and Lee voted for this, and after making a little talk, MT. Scott voted the same way, so as to make it unanimous.
 This action is the result of the protests made by the scores of railroad men here today, and the petitions filed by 10000 peo- pie of the state against any interference with existing pleasant relations between the railroads and the people of Missis- sippi

Complaint has reached the office of the governor that the "butchers on the trains have become very bold of late in their defiance of the prohibition laws of the state, and he Is taking steps to put an end to it. Governor Noel has had communication with the higher officials of some of the railroads anent the sale of whisky by newsboys porters and oth- CTS running on the trains in official ca- pacities, as well as of employees about some of the depots, and all of whom ex- press themselves as more than willing, in fact, as anxious to put stop to the busi- ness. The railroad officials will give the state authorities every possible assistance in the running down of such violators of the law. and all apprehended will be made to suffer the extreme penalty of the law.
 It has been known for a long time that it was no trouble to buy liquors on many of the trains running through the state, but no special effort has ever been made to break up the business However, now that the railroads have promised to join hands with the state, county and munich pal authorities, there is going to be seri- ous trouble for the first offender that is caught. The railroad officials appre- ciate the fact that their employees, as well as the travelling public, are liable to serious injury on account of the sale of whisky on trains, and are anxious to stop 1t.

Though Governor Noel has not as yet accepted the resignation of Dr. W. ". Hickman of Noxupater, member of the state board of health, applications and inducements of applicants are already coming in from all over that district. The impression seems to be that Dr. Hickman is down and out, but such is not the case The chances are that he will be in a few days but he is still a member of the board. His resigna- ton was placed in the governors hands last Saturday, but the governor did not accept same, preferring to await the in- vestigation that is promised by the board. It is possible that this Investigation will show other parties were, guilty of giving out the questions submitted on the ex- animation. Even then Dr. Hickman might have to go because of his indiscretion in giving his brother an intimation of the questions that were to be put to the 243 applicants for license-but 1t is possible the entire board would petition the gov ernor not to accept the resignation. The governors intention is to accept the resig- nation. but at the same time he wants the investigation made thorough and com plete.

State Superintendent of Education Pow CTS and Chancellor Kincannon- of the State university have returned from New York, where they went toNconfer with the trustees of the Peabody fund, which still has a million and a half dollars that is to be divided between the sev- eral states of the south. Professor Pow CTS explains that this meeting of the trustees was preliminary only to a meet ing that is to be held at Washin gton soon, and at which time the distribu- ton will be announced He saw and talked to those in authority over the fund, and Is very much encouraged to believe that Mississippi will come in for her share, which will be in the neigh borhood of $150,000.f
 While absent MT. Powers visited and inspected the great school system in Philadelphia, of which Dr. Brambaugh is the head. He was delighted with Dr. Brambaugh and what he say, declaring the system the greatest and most com- plete in the United Statesl
 Dr. Powers noticed and in fact the Philadelphia superintendent admitted, that they had a more serious race problem in that city than we have in the south. The negroes are a different class. and very impudent Take one of the politeSt negroes in this part of the country, D says Dr. Powers, and let him live on the other side Of the Ohio river six weeks and he wants to push every white man he meets off the walk" But pr. Brumbaugh has spent some time in the south, and he knows what to do with them. The negroes insisted on sending their children to the white schools in Philadelphia, but they were made to see their place and separate school houses were provided for them, just as here. This section was treated to a good rain today-a regular downpour-but it did not come before it was needed. Farm CTS and truckers had begun to complain that the ground was getting very hard and that a thick crust had formed on top, which retarded the growth of the young plants However, no serious dam age had been done, and the rains of to- day will make the season a good one Vegetables are now going to the northern markets by the carload, and In spite of the low price of cabbage truckers are being very well paid for their labor.
