BLANCHE Walsh
SATURDAY night

One of the most sensational hits of
The current dramatic year has been
scored by Miss Blanche Walsh in
"The Test" which will be seen at the
Auditorium Theater for a special en-
sagement next Saturday night.
The play is the work of Jules Eek
ert Goodman and has been pronounced
by critics TO be one of the strongest
and most remarkable productions
made on the American stage in many
years. CommenuGg upon Miss
Walsh's performance the New York
Herald says: 1T is play that should
be seen by every man, woman and
child in every walk of life 1t is true
that it deals with the sex problem in
one of its most vital phases, but
throughout the interesting dialogue
and action there is not single line
at which any one could take offense
Miss Walsh is supported by Tho
strongest surrounding company Will
which she has ever been associated"

JACKSON, Miss, September %
A movement is under way to organize
Mississippi High School Football
Association for the current season,
and several teams have promised to
affiliate with the organization.
Jackson, Vicksburg, Natchez, Green
vile, Meridian and Hattiesburg are
among the towns where elevens have
been formed, and hard practice work
is now in progress. A schedule will
be adopted by correspondence, and
rules and regulations formed relative
to age of players, general qualifca,
tions, etc.
Last year Jackson captured the
high school championship of the state
after a series of strenuous battles
and indications are that the capital
city team this year will be stronger
than the 1908 organization. One, and
probably two, of the high school series
will be played in Jackson during the
State Fair.

BURGLARS GOT
BUSY LAST night
Place OF W. j. York, on Main Street
Was Entered and a Quantity of
Goods Stolen.

For the second time in a period of
six months, the confectionery and
fruit stand of w. J. York, on Main
street, was entered by burglars last
night; and a quantity of goods con-
fiscated.
The place was entered from the
front, the culprits forcing an entrance
to the building by prying under the
window and raising an iron bolt which
held it in place, small piece Of
scrap iron which was left on the pave
ment giving evidence of the kind of
instruments used for the purpose.
AS ON the former occasion when Mr
York's store was entered, the noe
turnal visitors contented themselves
with a supply of eatables, several
cans of salmon, sardines, potted ham,
crackers and ginger snaps being
missed this morning, while the cigar

and there was NO evidence that the
cash register had been tampered with.
Mr.. York stated that police officers
who were on duty in that vicinity
last night had told him that they
heard a noise down that way at about
4 o'clock this morning, and upon go.
ing down the street towards the depot
noticed that Mr.. York's place was
closed and they entered the alley in
the rear of Coplon's store, thinking
that the trouble might be back that
way. Engines were switching in the
Northeastern yards, it is said, and
noises were difficult to locate.
Police officers are today investigat-
ing the case, but so far no clues as
to the guilty parties have been found.

THINKS They Will
give FARMERS AID
In Holding Cotton Where Farmers
Desire to Do So-Banks of Missis-
sippi Have More Than $40,ooo,ooo
On Deposit--crop in State.
Special 10 The Mems

Special 10 The Neps
JACKSON, Miss, September 20
President G. r. Hightower, of the
Mississippi division of the Farmers
Union, finds much cause for encour-
agement to the cotton holding move
ment in the fact that the state and
national banks are carrying unusually
heavy deposits for this season of the
year.
According to the last statement of
the auditor, the state banks in Mis-
sissippi are carrying 33,000,000 in de-
posits," says President Hightower,
"and the national banks have de-
posits aggregating between sS,O00,000
and s1O,OOOtOO.
"There is no reason why a good por-
tion of these deposits should not be
used in support of the cotton holding
movement. The banks unquestionably
have plenty of money, and I believe
they are going to give the farmers OF
the state all possible aid and encour-
agement in holding their cotton when
the farmers desire to do so. We feel
that we are entitled to the backing
of the banks, and they, in turn, could
not devote their working capital and
available deposits to a more remun-
erative form Of investment"

Tn IISE THEM FIRST
Big Game Hunter Substantiates Cooks
Story That Latter Left His lnstru-
ments at Etah-Cook Said He Had
Been to Pole.
By Associated Press.

ST. JOHNS N. F., September,--The
Arctic vessel JEANNE, with Harry
Whitney, the New Haven big game
hunter on board, has arrived here
from the Greenland coast by way of
Indian Harbor, Labrador.
Mr.. Whitney, questioned regarding
the statements made to him by Dr.
Cook in Greenland, said Cook arrived
at Annootok in April of this year, and
declared that he had reached the north
pole year before. He pledged Whit
ney not to tell Commander Peary, who
was to be informed only that Cook
had gone further north than Peary's
previous record, 81 degrees 6 minutes.
DR.. Cook told Whitney that he had
accomplished all he expected to, and
more besides, and that he was through
with the northern country.
Whitney did not communicate the
latter part of this statement to Com
mander Peary. DR.. Cook complained
to Whitney of Peary's taking over his
house and stores, but declared that
he had suffered no unfairness. Peary's 5
steward, William Pritchard, was pres
ent when these statements were
made. He also was pledged to secrecy
by DR.. Cook. Murphy, Peary's boat
Iswain, in charge of the stores, was ab-
sent at Etah on this day and did not
hear Dr. Cooks communications.
Use Cooks Stores.
There We're two houses on the Green
land shore one at Annootok, holding
Cooks stores, and another at Etah
holding Peary's. Whitney, Murphy
and Pritchard sometimes occupied one
and sometimes the other of these
houses. Murphy was in charge of
both houses. He is not able to read
or write. He had written instructions
from Peary, which Whitney. at Peary ;
request, read over to him from time
to ,..ae.
These instructions We're very strin
gent. directing Murphy to use Cooks
stores first and Poorv's afterwards.
