day that he intends to keep his wife in
school until she completes her educa-
ton. She has two more years in Miss

should be objection I'll place her in an
other school | want her to complete

Gilchrist Comes
To South s Defense.

Feeling that the utterances of Blease
in the presence of women, such as those
who had just left the convention hall,
was a reflection on Southern chivalry.

Imam to task for his profane speech
and lack of consideration of those pres

OAR IN & ROBBER RY
BY laurel
YOUTHS

LAUREL June 3.-Bennie Bush and
Claude Massey, arrested this after
noon by Deputy Sheriff Allen Bout
well and members of the city police
force, have confessed to the daring
robbery of the store of Ginsberg Bros.
G. Co. Saturday night. Bush had 500
in his pocket, and $199 was found in
the fue of a vacant servants house
where Massey admitted they had hid
den it.
Young Bush is the son of the mayor,
F. H. Bush, and a member of one or
the most prominent families in the
county. Massey also is prominently
connected.
The robbery of the Ginsbefg store
was carefully planned and executed,
and was one of the most sensational
hold-ups ever perpetuated in this part
of the country. The two young men
entered the store about 9 o'clock Sat.
urday night while the place was
crowded with customers. One of them
walked to the light switch and turned
off the light, while the other opened
fire with a revolver, Customers and
clerks scattered in all directions, and
Ginsberg himself only remained be-
cause he could not make his escape
without passing the man who held the
gun. 1t is said that the amount taken
from the store was approximately
$4O0, only $219 of which has been re
covered.

Big fight
At COLUMBUS
Ohio

Columbus, O., June Especial
trains and trolley cars poured dele
gates and politicians into this city to-
day for the opening of the state Re-
publican convention this afternoon. A
bitter fight is promised by the Roose-
welt and Taft forces over the election
of Ohios six delegates at large.
Numerous conferences are in progress
today but it is doubtful if any agree
ment will be reached and factional diff
ferences will be fought out on the
floor tomorrow. Roosevelt won in the
preference primary and despite the
claims of the Taft forces that they
control a majority of the delegates
to the state convention, Roosevelt has
declared any attempt to elect single
Taft delegate to Chicago would be a
fraud upon the voters.

RESIDENTS Still
VERY NERVOUS
Several Shots Fired Saturday Night
at Thought-to-Be Burg
lars.

Considerable excitement was caus-
ed Saturday night by the rapid fir
ing of a pistol at the residence of Mr..
Woodward on West Pine street. 1t
appears that Mr.. Woodward's son
thought he discovered some one try
ing to enter the house. He ran in the
direction of the noise, and thinking he
saw the figure of a man in retreat,
opened fire, shooting his pistol sew
eral times.
Mrs. R. E. Rawls, whose room is
opposite the Woodward's, saw some
one going out of their yard late in the
night, and as their home was one of
the first to be visited in the recent
round. of the house breakers, she
naturally became excited. The officers
were called to the scene of these sup
posed raids. but no trace of the house
breakers could be had.

here to discuss the matter with the

Several applicants for the loan of
18th Sectios money are before the

will have $4,000 tos$4,OOO to loan after

short time, when he was detailed to
install a new cotton mill equipment
for the Nonquitt Mills, at New Bed
ford. Having gone out from his board
ing house to purchase a hat, as stated
by him to his landlady, he was run
down by heavy trolley car just as
he had lodged from one going in an
opposite direction, his body being so
mangled as to cause death in a short
time. The New Bedford and Whitins-
Vile newspapers all had extended no
ties of the accident with tributes to his
character. The resolutions adopted
by the Christian Endeavor Society to
which reference is herein made, were
in terms of high praise of the charac-
ter of this young Mississippian, who
met sudden death far from home

URGE UNITY OF TRAFFIC BODIES.

Boston, June g. 3.-Resolutions recon-
mending conference of all transpor-
tation unions with the object Of form
ing one organization of the entire in
dustry were introduced at the con-
vention opened today by the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks. Wade Shurt-
left of the Cleveland lodge, moved
their adoption, and the question will
likely become topic of heated discus
sion.
The proposed union would include
the amalgamation of organizations of
steam, electric, marine and team
transportation industries, and truck
drivers and locomotive engineers
would thus become affiliated in the
same body. 1t is claimed that such a
union would mean the abolishing Of
strikes.
A resolution was also introduced
urging a closer relationship between
the transportation unions and the Uni
ted Mine Workers.

Alexandria, La, June 3.-Dr. d. w.
Gibson, a prominent young dentist of
Mission, Texas, mysteriously disap-

tanned by the police lead to the belief
that he was murdered, possibly by
two Mexicans, for robbery.
Blood-stained clothes identified as
Gibson's, were found on the Red river

railing and knife slashes in the
clothes indicate he was cut to death
and his body thrown into the river.
With his wife and two children
Gibson arrived here yesterday and he
left the hotel at nine o'clock last night
for Pineville, across the river, to visit
old friends. His wife says two Mexi-

many who are in one way or another
joining in the sanitary and anti-fly

used for the capture and destruction
of flies. One enterprising citizen. with
mathematical turn, figured out that
between IL o'clock a. m. and sundowr

JACKSON HOST OF THOUSANDS
OF VISITORS FOR IMPRESSIVE
CEREMONIES TODAY.
FITTING CELEBRATION
OF DAVIS BIRTHDAY.
Monument To Women OF Confederacy
To Cost 1000, Half Of Which Came
From Public subscription-Dr. Wad-
dell Delivered Grafton.

Jackson, Miss, June 3.-In the pres
ence of the largest crowd that has
assembled in front of Mississippi's mil
lion dollar capitol building since the
memorable ceremony at the laying of
the cornerstone, just nine years ago
today, the cornerstone of the monu-
ment to the Confederate women of the
commonwealth was laid at the noon
hour today with impressive exercises.
In this manner Mississippi celebrat-
ed the birthday of her greatest citizen,
words of the first and only president
of the Confeoeracy in his book, The
Rise and Fall of the Confederate Gov
ernment," forms the principal dedica-
tion on the base of the monument.
The ceremony was under the aus
pices of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, United Daughters of the Con-
federacy, Daughters of Veterans, Sons
of Veterans, Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, and other patriotic
organizations.
Delegations from local chapters of
these organizations In all parts of the
state were present at the exercises
the early morning trains being filled
to overlooking with visitors.
Business was partly suspended in
the capital city during the forenoon
the cornerstone ceremony was pre-
ceded by an imposing street parade
from Poindexter Park, and the familiar
Stars and Bars was everywhere in
evidence, the business district being
lavishly decorated with the American
and Confederate flags in honor of the
occasion.
Today's ceremony merely marked
the laying of the foundation and the
cornerstone of the monument, the to
tai cost of which will be $4,000. The
superstructure will not be completed
and the pedestal and statuary placed
in position until the masonry has set
| tied.
The statuary emblematical of the
spirit of the women of the Confed
eracy, prepared by Miss Belle Kinney
of Nashville, will surmount the pedes
tai. 1t is now being cast in bronze
in New York, and will be placed il
position during the autumn.
One-half of the cost of the monu
ment was raised through popular sub
scriptions, largely through the per
sonal efforts of Gen. Chas. Scott, O.
Rosedale, commander of Forrest Cav
airy, and Hon. H. c. Sharkey, of this
city. The remainder was secured
through legislative appropriation.
Many articles of historic value were
placed in the large copper box set be
meath the cornerstone, including
list of citizens who subscribed to th'
fund.
