looking inside we discovered that a
considerable amount OF paper had been

OF the premises was now began. Every
nook and corner of the house was ex-
amined. We tore up the carpet and
pried up the weak places in the floor.
Every piece Of furniture and every rag
OF clothes was searched. The detec-

The old man wouldn't talk. He shut
his mouth tightly and shook his head

young man was dumb as an oyster.

was unable to shadow her without
giving himself away, as she repeated

though she suspected she was being
followed, and the detective finally lost
sight of her.
Some weeks after this | received an
anonymous note couched in somewhat
singular terms. 1t was in n fine fe-
male hand and read as follows:

Service, Sc BECKER ST.

finally concluded to employ ruse TO
get into the house and learn what was
going on. An excuse that was thought
to be better than no excuse at all was
invented to be offered In case of fail
ure. 1t was known that the doors of
the house were kept securely fastened
and that any person ringing the door
bell would be sighted and refused adj
mittance.
The plan to overcome this difficulty
was simple but effective. 1t was about
the middle of the day when light
spring wagon containing trunk was
backed up to the front door of the
Rhetschlag house. Two men dressed
as laborers took the trunk out of the
wagon and carried 1t up the steps
close to the door. The bell was rung
Soon there was an eye at the peep
hole. The person thinking that the ex-
pressman had made a mistake in the
house threw open the door to explain.
The trunk was quickly thrust across
the threshold and the two expressmen
sprang into the hall. Two other detec-
tives that had been lowering near

thus brought to my attention. 1t was
only weak suspicion, but yet
thought 1t sufficiently pointed to war

learned that this house was occupied
by IN elderly gentleman. apparently a

known. we're a very secluded family.
No one seemed to know where they
came from or by what means they
earned their livelihood. It was rare
that any person had been seen to en-
ter their door during the day time.
While the detectives were on watch
young man of prepossessing appear
ance called at the house on two occa-
sions in the evening, remaining a
short time. When he left he carried
a small bundle. IL was also learned
from the people on the other side of
the wall that strange noises had been
heard late at night. There was a
clicking and Earring sound as of
some one pounding upon the floor with
heavy instrument. The neighbors
thought there might be something
wrong, and that was all the thought
they gave to the matter. Each night
bright light was seen cleaning from
an upper window, and the shadows CT
persons moving to and fro were cast
upon the closelydrawn window shade.

The youth frightened up.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 21.-A meeting
of the executive committee of the Mis-
sissippi Teachers Association has
been called to assemble in Jackson on
December 18th for the purpose of out
lining program for the next annual
convention, and selecting time and
place for the meeting.
The convention is usually held dur

David c. Hull, of this city, president
of Millsaps College is president

it has been the custom of the associa-

city, this is not provided for in the
constitution, and the Jackson Board of
Trade will offer very fattering induce

secure the 1912 convention at this
place. The attendance at the Jack

the question would then arise whether
the United States Senate would seat
him as the successor of Leroy Percy.
The senate, according to the Federal
constitution, is the sole judge of the
qualifications Of its members, and
there is no precedent for a case of
this character. The logical presump-
ton is, of course, that should the
state succeed in getting judgment
against Mr.. Vardaman for the various
sums alleged to be unaccounted for,
that criminal proceedings would fol-
low.
1t is practically certain that Mr..
Vardaman will not commence his SER
vice in the Senate in January, as was
generally expected. Senator Leroy
Percy had announced his intention to
resign when the legislature meets
here on the first Monday in January,
but political developments of the past
few weeks will undoubtedly cause him
to change his mind and remain in the
Senate until the completion of his
term on March 4th, 1918. Senator
Percy has not publicly declared his
intentions in the matter, but his close
personal and political friends, without
a single exception, declare that he
cannot afford to resign under the cir
and are urging him not to
do so.
In the meantime the proceedings in
chancery against Mr.. Vardaman will
be prosecuted as vigorously as the
wheels of justice can be made to move,
and there willrcn, complete airing of
lngs of the ep.-
seen.

good reasons for the belief that any
selfish interest would seek control, or
that if sought it could be attained.
The plan expressly prohibits the hold
ing of shares by any individual or
other than banking corporations, so
that direct stock control is forever i'm
possible, and, therefore, to get even
indirect control 1t would be necessary
for such interests to purchase control
of the majority of the shares of more
than half in number and amount of
the twenty thousand independent
banks of the country. The use of
such stupendous sum as necessary
is highly impractical. The suggestion
appears foolish to those Analysing the
situation and to be a serious reflec-
ton on the good sense of those in
mind when special control is men
toned.
