MILL INSURANCE PLAN

Jackson Miss, March 9.-(Special)-
Though announcement has been made
that the New Orleans owners of the Nes-
son cotton mills will resume operations
IN few days, the senate passed the re-
lief bill for the operatives today by
unanimous vote, and the Wesson city
council will be given authority to ap-
propriate money for their relief. Senator
Mcdowell has withdrawn his bill au-
thorizing yerdicts by three-fourths of
juries, discovering 1t was unconstitu-
tional
The bill providing for two supreme
court commissioners to assist the three
judges in preparing decisions, but having
no vote on decisions, has passed both
houses, carrying salary of $500 each, same
as judges receive. This is makeshift
to last till the constitution can be
amended to provide for FIVE judges.
The bill providing for an expert ac-
countant to examine the books of all
state officials has passed the senate.
The inter-nsurance bill offered by the
sawmill owners of the state was debated
at considerable length in the senate to-
day in committee of the whole. The mill
men claim that they are simply carrying
their own insurance on the fraternal plan,
and do not want to pay privilege taxes
and be under the supervision of the In
surance commissioner Mill men from
over the southern part of the state are
here to assist In the passage of the meas
ure. The senate judiciary committee Will
report tomorrow killing numbers OF bills,
among the more important being one
making per cent the contract rate OF
interest, another requiring that notes
given furniture and piano and other In
stallment houses be recorded. This pro-
posed law stirred up more excitement
than anything that has been offered dur
ing the session.
The judiciary committee referred to the
railroad committee the proposition au-
thorizing the railroad commission to re-
quire physical connection between rival
telephone companies.
Numerous bill collectors and creditors
here would like for Nine. Eva Wyeth, a
woman who has been here just month
and who has advertised herself as the
Distinguished clairvoyant, eminent for
her researches into psychic science to
tell them her present whereabouts. she
has done a land-office business here tell
ing fortunes for the best people in the
city and from neighboring towns aver
aging 40 or so visitors per day. Numer-
Gus bill collectors were at her house to-
day, but her trunk was gone and she
had not been seen since Sunday.
Senators Leroy Percy and John Sharp
Williams were both In Jackson today and
held short conference. Mr.. Percy states
that he has resigned his attorneyship
for the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail-
road and left today for New Orleans
thence to Washington by ship. Mr. PEI
spent a few hours at the capitol and
accorded hearty welcome by the legis-
lators and state officials.

OUTLOOK
WN nHmmwSm
ID bElIEk

New York, oct. Bradstreets TO-
day says;
Reports from distributing trade cen
ters this week are rather better. They
point to slightly increased demand
from iobbers and retailers. Collections
show some betterment and few mar
l6ets note slightly less tension in local
money conditions. StiIl, buying Is
classed as conservative as a whole and
gauged closely by absolute require
mcnts.
Industry shows few changes. Iron
and steel are qriet and here actual
necessities govern taking OF crude and
finished products High prices Of raw
material, particularly cotton, render
the position OF manufacturers dificuIt,
though the feeling in this branch is
slightly more optimistic. In the WOODEN
growers trade the outlook IS still not
entirely clear. Raw wool at Boston is
relatively lower in price than at Lon
don. The leather and shoe trades are
below normal activity as whole and
buying OF shoes is conservative.
Advices from the west and south are
rather better, as to this line but the
New York building trade is disorgan-
lied by a strike Of 10000 bricklayers.
The coal trade has been benefited BY
the advance of the season. The Penn
sylyania whiskey market is firmer.
Production has been restricted for
three years. grains are firmer and the
strong demand is looked for.
