SCHRANk PLEADS
GUILTY To
CHARGE
OF SHOOTING. COLONEL RoosE-
vELT-sANiTY COMMISSION
WILL INVESTIGATE.
(By Associated Press.)

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 12.-John
Schrank today pleaded guilty to shoot
ing Col. Roosevelt. The court decided
to appoint a sanity commission to
examine Schrank. The man showed
little concern. He said, as the crime
was political rather than a crime
against humanity, he guessed that on
account of the frequency of political
crimes within the past few years it
would not be hard on him. However,
he said he could take his medicine.

The exodus of students from the A.
and NJ. College has reached such pro-
portions that the school is on the verge
Of closing down, temporarily at least.
OF the seventeen Forrest county boys
attending the school fifteen or sixteen
of them have returned home, deter
mined to stand their ground until their
requests have been granted by the fac
ulty.
Four of the students of Forrest
county F. Mitchell l.. c. Strahan,
T r. Hearon and Curtis Welborn call
ed at the News office this morning and
dated the students side of
tRS4 situation These young men
Wy that their side of the case
has been grossly misrepresented; that
the press reports eminating from
Starkville give only the faculty side,
and they are anxious that their home
folks and the general public withhold
Judgment until the whole matter is
sifted and all the facts leading up to
the alleged 'mutiny' become known.
These young men, who claim they
have the backing of the entire student
body assert that their requests were just
and fairly presented, but autocrati-
caliy dismissed by the college officers.
They say further that requests made
by committees from the senior class,
before the present trouble arose, have
likewise been ignored by President
Hightower, who refused on several
occasions to even entertain requests
or give the committees a conference.
Some Of these young men left the
college yesterday afternoon, and to
s4kM lust how far the seniors have
the support of the other classes, it Is
stated that on last Friday at chapel
there were 1900 students, while yes
erday afternoon no more than a dozen
remained at the school.
They claim that the desertions from
the college are not merely temporary
but that every one Of the students
leaving have pledged themselves tf
stay out until the senior class anC
others under the ban are reinstatet
and their requests have been granted
" full.
Just how far the present crisis II
the big school will effect Its future
or the work of the present session
remains to be seen. Governor Brewer

New Candidate Enters
and Leads Entire List

1t looks as though Thursday will be
the biggest day of the campaign, as
it Is expected that nearly every can
didate will respond to the call sent
out yesterday, and make a special en-
deavor to secure at least one subscrip-
ton on BANNER DAY" In a way
there is no special reason why a sub
scription should be handed in Thurs
day instead of today, but there is a
good reason why it is better to turn in
a subscription Thursday than the day
after.
The managers of the $1,000 Club"
Campaign in sending out this |CALL"
requesting each and every candidate
to turn in at least one subscription
on BANNER DAY" has an object in
view The question how many are
entered? may be easily answered by
counting those listed in the paper,
but the question; how many candi.
dates are actually competing for the
prizes? is not so easily answered.
Now if every one who intends to
work for the prizes would send a sub
scription BANNER DAY." it would be
easier to determine who is just in the
race. At the same time those sending
! in this subscription will be benefited
greatly. Doubtless, you want as many
workers in the field as possible and the
sooner your friends start to help you
the more votes you are going to have

details as to prices and all incidental
particulars. Her friend was very
much impressed. and, remarked:

An Advertising Moral.

Once upon time a donkey fell
into deep hole, according to Cas-
sells Saturday Journal, and. after
nearly starving, caught sight Of a
passing fox, and implored the strang-
er to help him out.
II am too small to aid you" said
the fox, "but l will give you some
advice. Only few rods away Is a
big, strong elephant. Call to him and
he will get you out in jiffy."
After the fox had gone the donkey
thus reasoned: II am very weak from
want Of nourishment. Every move I
make is just so much additional loss
Of strength. If I raise my voice to
call the elephant / shall be weaker
yet. No. l will not waste my sub
stance that way. 1t is the duty Of
the elephant to come without call
ing"
SO the donkey settled himself back
and eventually starved to death
Long afterward the fox, on passing
the hole. saw within a whitened skel-
eton. and remarked:
IF it be that the souls of animals
are transmigrated into men. that dom
key will become one Of those who
can never afford to advertise"

NEGRO STILL AT LARGE.
Robert Davis, Who Fired at Police
man McKagen, Makes His Escape.

later report Of the shooting at
shortly after noon Is somewhat diff
ferent from the account as first heard
and reported in the Item. 1t seems
that only two shots were fired, one by
Davis and one by Policeman McKa-
,scr after Davis had fired at him.
Davis was retreating at the time he
fired and 1t is '.nly by some wonder
full good fortl ne that he did not hit
Mr.. McKagen or some of the numer-
Gus school children who were stand
l'g near al :ke time that the shoot
ing took place.
1t seems that Davis went into the
chapel during services there and
threatened one Of the teachers for
reprimanding his child, drawing a
knife and threatening to use IT on
her. Principal Lawson, after some
trouble got him to come down stairs
and upon the arrival of Mr.. Nc
Noeth oShtu tHtt ne ne tdken OH the
school grounds. When Mr.. McKagen
caught Davis by the arm and told
him to come on and get off the
grounds. Davis drew his gun and
thrust II at Principal Lawson. Mr..
Mckagen interviewed and Davis jerk
ed lose and ran down the steps,
threatening to shoot Mr.. McKagen
who was advancing upon him. draw
ing his gun as he went Davis fired
after Mr. McKagen had reached the
ground and then turned and ran. Mr..
Mckagen fred at him once and his
pistol refused to shoot a second time.
Davis them jumped on his wheel
and made off. being pursued beyond
the city limits by Mr.. McKagen and
other officers who had come up in
tho meantime. II was stated that
Lcither Mr.. McKagen or Principal
Lawson knew that Davis was armed
with pistol until he drew his gun.
Mr McKagen was not expecting
trouble and was not prepared and it
was thus that Davis fred his shot
and managed to escape. Luckily,
however no one was hurt by the shot
and Davis did not fire but once.

lnquf >"as called by the board Of
directors and all of the officials of
the penitentiary were exonerated.
The following statement was given
out yesterday by the board of di-
rectors of the penitentiary:
After reading ar account of the
alleged mistreatment of Lonnie Hall
which was published in the newspa.
pers some time ago, the board of d.
rectors Of the penitentiary, at a re-
cent meeting, investigated the same.
Each and every officer and guard
that had any connection with the case
was duly sworn and their evidence is
now matter of record at the peni-
tentiary. From evidence obtained
the board of directors feel satisfied
that the said Lonnie Hall brought all
OF the trouble on himself He came
to the penitentiary with a bad rec
ord and his conduct while in prison
fully confirmed that record He was
regarded as an obstreperous and dam
gerous prisoner and had frequently
given the officers trouble. In regard
to this particular case the board
found that the said Lonnie Hall was
the aggressor and that the officers
acted solely on the defensive and with
a great deal Of forbearance. To
maintain discipline in the prison 1T
is absolutely necessary to infiict pun
ishment. After careful consideration
the board OF directors are of the opin-
ion that the punishment inflicted on
the said Lennisa Han was not crue,
or unmercifui; on the contrary they
do not regard it as commensurate for
the offense committed"
