Low WAGES Chief
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
cIared it Responsible for Bad Liv-
ing Conditions.

New York, Sept. "a preliminary
report of a subcommittee of Mayor
Gaynor's congestion commission de-
clares that the low wages paid work
ing men in New York is the chief
sause of the tenement house conges-
ting. The committee says that $3.50
a year is the minimum upon which a
man, his wife and three children can
live decently in Manhattan. But the
average wage paid in Greater New
York, the committee finds, is about
$535 a year.
Even government employees do not
in many cases receive what the COM
mittee considers sufficient to keep
body and soul together AN inves-
tigation of the Manhattan postoffice," 4"
the report says, shows 721 men who
receive 5000 year; 176 get $500 a
year and Alb men who are paid $500
a year.
James B. Wilson, secretary of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, stated to the committee that the
average wages paid in normal times
to 1000 members of his union are only
5000 a year. Nine union machinists
receive from $3.50 to $3.50 day.

CELEBRATION Was
VERY UNEVENTFUL
in Mississippi, but in Most lnstan-
ces In Quiet Manner.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 6.-The cele-
bration of Labor Day in Mississippi
has been quiet and uneventful. At
some of the larger towns in the state,
notably, Vicksburg, McComb, Matches,
Greenville and Meridian, the labor
organizations had the usual parades,
followed by picnics and public speak
ings.
In Jackson the suspension of busi-
ness was somewhat general, pursuant
to a proclamation issued by Acting
Governor Luther Manship, the state
house remained closed. Business was
also suspended at the federal building
and at the various banking institu-
tions.
The chief local feature of Labor
Day observances was the double-header
ball game at League Park this after
noon, which marks the close of the
season in the Cotton States League
1t was expected that this double-head-
er between Jackson and Greenwood
would settle the pennant fight, but
Jackson was put out of the running by
two defeats last week, and the Green
wood teamwill capture the pennant by
a few points, regardless of the result
of today's games. Yazoo closes the
season at Meridian and Hattiesburg at
VicksbTg.
The fact that Labor Day is a state
and national holiday did not cause an
abandonment of court terms; several
sessions were convened in the various
counties this morning.

Mrs. McCulIough's Statement.

Mrs. Watson arrived at her moth

ing her husband in Memphis. On
Saturday morning Watson arrived.
having followed closely behind his
wife. He was in a bad humor, it is
said, and neighbors had heard the
young couple quarreling at different
times on Saturday and Sunday. Sun
day morning, according to Mrs. Nc
Cullough, Watson requested his wife
to go walking with him. He wanted
to go down on Leaf river, he said, and
Mrs. Mccullough. fearing that evil
might befall her daughter, requested
the couple to remain at home with
her during the day. Watson persisted
in his opportunities, insisting that his
wife accompany him, and finally, los
ing his temper he approached her and
said:
Mora, want to know what you are
going to do about it. Are you going
with me or not?"
In a playful, childish way, the girl
wife replied; Darling, what would
you do to your baby if she didn't go?"-
In answer to this question. Watson
drew a revolver from his pocket and
said I'll show you what I'll do and
leveling the weapon at his wife's head,
fired three shots into her brain. He
then turned the weapon on his moth
er-in-laY, shooting her through the left
shoulder.

SLAYER is CAPTURED
ACROSS LEAF RIVER
Jealousy is the Only Motive Which
Has Been Assigned for the Commits
sion of the Deed-Watson Will Not
Talk.

Probably the most shocking and SEN
sational tragedy in the history of Hat
tiesburg, occurred at about IL o'clock
Sunday morning, when Arthur Wat
son, a carpenter, % years of age, drew
a revolver from his pocket, fired three
shots into the brain of his fourteen
year-old wife, killing her instantly,
and then turned the weapon upon his
mother-in-law, Mrs. NJ. E. Mccullough.
shooting her through the left Shout
der. The tragedy occurred at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Mccullough, 2OS Unetta
street.
According to a statement made to a
News representative by Mrs. McCul-
Tough shortly after the tragedy oc-
Cured, Watson and her daughter were
married in this city about fourteen
months ago. They remained here
about three months, since which time
they have been living with Watson's
parents in Memphis. Several times
recently the child wife had written her
mother that Watson was unkind to
her and had threatened her life on
several occasions. Mrs. Mccullough
wrote the girl to come home, at the
same time sending her money to buy
her ticket TO Hattiesburg.

DIR. BLACKWELL SAYS
UNWRlTTEN Law IS BAD

New Orleans, Sept. 6.-Condemning
the unwrtten law as dangerous to
good government, Rev. A. Gordon
Blackwell. the rector of Trinity Chapel,
in a sermon Sunday said that it would
have been better that Mamie Nc
Loughlin stand forth as a convicted
felon, simply for the vindication Of
the law. than to have the law made a
mockery.
While her act was justified in the
eyes of righteous men and women it
was none the less an infraction of the
law and offended the dignity of the
State. He contended that the majes-
ty of the law should be upheld. 1t
would have been entirely proper, af
ter the laws vindication, for the hu-
manitarian women to have interested
themselves in the girls behalf and to
have asked a pardon from the Cover
nor of the State. He thought that
the girl was unquestionably guilty of
a crime though it was justified by the
wrongs she had suffered, and the ef
feet of her acquittal was bad upon
those who are naturally inclired to
hold the law in contempt The crime
of homicide should not, he said, be so
lightly considered.
