STILL PROBING
JACKSON. MURDER
Police Are Searching for Black-Haired
Man Who Was in House on Night
Tragedy Occurred.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 15.-The police
are now trying to learn who the black
haired man was in the room with Mrs.
Womack and Mrs. Vance the night
the baby was born, and, presumably,
after the doctor had left. There was
a black-haired man in the room that
night, according to. Mrs. Loudell, who
gave the information upon which the
arrest of Mrs, Vance, Mrs. Womack
and c. F. Kendrick was made,but
whether it was Kendrick or some 9th
er man, is not known.
Kendrick has black hair, and it may
have been him.. In fact, the police
incline to the opinion that it was Ken
drick, but there is a suspicion that
there may be another man in the
Womack's husband, as she refused to
have anything to do with him after
he was released from prison, which
seems to have been on discharge for
meritorious conduct, and not a par
don, as first stated.
Every clew is being followed, and if
there are others connected with the
case they will be arrested as soon as
located. All those arrested have
talked rather freely at times, since
taken into custody, but they stick to
the story told by Mrs. Vance that
the baby died a few minutes after its
birth. The defense is trying to make
out a case of circumstances that will
reduce the charge against the prison
ers, and hopes to get off with only a
fine.

CROOKED WEIGHER
TELLS OF GRATING
Wasn't Satisfied With Rake-Off at One
Dock And Paid $50 to be Trans
ferred to Another.

New York, Sept. 15.-Sensational
revelations of the extent of the under
weighing frauds were made on the
witness stand by James P. Hyland,
who was assistant governor weigher
from 1891 to 1909, testifying at the
trial of George e. Bedell and other
customs officials on underweighing
fraud charges.
81 underweighed the very first cargo
I was assigned to weigh" said the
witness. He said he continued under
weighing from that time on, receiving
most of the corruption money from
"Big George" Lunny, who has been
described in the testimony as the "go-
between" for importers and weighers.
The undedweighers always got half
the amounts of the duties out of which
the government was defrauded, Hy-
land testified.
Hyland said that one time he was
not satisfied with the amount of his
''rake-off' at one dock and paid Bedell
$50 a ship to have him transferred to
a more fruitful field. Bedell was chief
clerk to Deputy Surveyor Vail.

GRADING OF The
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Eighth Grade Will be Taught This
Year at the Eaton school-erades
Of Other Schools.

In view of the fact that there has
been some Misunderstanding as to
what grades will be taught in the va
rious city schools this season, Super
intendent Woodley has furnished The
News with a list of the schools and
the grades to be taught in each.
At the fairfield building (Main
Street SchooD all grades except the
eighth will be taught. In this con-
nection, Prof. Woodley stated this
morning that on account of the limit
ed capacity of the building, thel =
would not be room for more than forty
pupils to each grade in this school.
At Court and Hardy Street Schools,
all grades up to the sixth will be
taught; at Eaton School, all grades up
to the ninth; at Bouie Street, all
grades to the seventh, and at Colum-
bia Street, all to the fifth.
Parents and students will notice
that the eighth grade will be taught
this year in the Eaton School only,
while the grading of all the other
schools is the same as formerly.

will take place on the first day, under
the auspices of the Daughters of the
