Achievements of a Mississippi Boy
HOMER IRELAND OF g. HAS GRADUATED
HoNoRs-sTRueeLED AGAINST ODDS
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC co. ATLANTA. GA.

Homer Breland, formerly of Merid-
ian, was in Hattiesburg Saturday Wis
iting his uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
r. l.. Breland, on Bay street. He
stopped over on his return from Har-
ward University, being en- route to
Durbar, on N. o. & N. E. R. R., to
visit his father, now living there.
Mr. Brelands literary achievements
are so extraordinary that The News
is pleased to mention them; especially
so, when it is remembered that he is
a native of Mississippi, and has had
to fight against odds in his struggle
for an education. Having completed
his course in the public school of Wes-
son he graduated there, taking the
highest honor. Later he took a di-
ploma and.honors from the the Merid-
ian Male College, and when only eigh-
teen years of age he stood the re-
quired examination for public school
teachers on twelve studies required,
anu ludue lVO on eleVen DOOhS anu ~
on the other one study. He entered
the contest for the Cecil Rhodes Uni
versity of oxford scholarship, which
entitled him to $4,000 a year in the
event of his appointment, to be applied
to his education and support while
attending the University. In this con-
test he was opposed by six college
graduates and made the highest mark
of any in the class.
Having leaned that Current Litera-
ture was offering scholarship in Har-
ward University for any young man
able to qualify for admission, who
would secure 500 subscribers to that

magazine, Mr.. Breland entered the
contest and came to Hattiesburg to be-
gin his canvass. Having met such
announcement in this city he claims
he at once felt assured of ultimate sue.
cess and he credits to Hattiesburg the
inspiration on which he won the COW
eted scholarship in Harvard. In 1911
he was chosen as one of two to repre-
sent Harvard in the Collegiate
contest for the literary pennant, which
Harvard at one time held, but which
for six successive years it had lost.
Mr.. Breland won high honors in this
contest and the pennant was restored
to Harvard.
Mr.. Breland has just graduated in
the literary department of the Univer-
sity in class Of S7S, from which num-
Der he was one of the two selected
from the literary department to make
commencement speeches.
In prize contest for a silver cup,
to be awarded for the best extempo-
raneous speech, he was the winner, and
in addition to his diploma which he
brought from this great University he
is the proud owner of the cup awarded
in the contest
1t is the intention of this young man
to enter Harvard next session for a
three years law course.
When it is considered that Mr.. Bre-
land is now only twenty-three years
of age, and that he earned every dollar
of the money needed to carry him
through college, his achievement
should be an inspiration to the young
men of his native state.

Will Introduce
Bill for Miners
Minimum Wage Measure in
House of Commons Tomorrow.

LONDON. March 1S.-Prenier As
quith announced in the House of Com
mons today that the government
would introduce a minimum wages bill
for miners tomorrow. He viii ask the
House to read it a second time
Wednesday and complete the remain
ing stages Thursday.
The coal strike, in which 100000
miners have Joined, continues to par
alyze the industries of Great Britain
and to affect seriously those of other
countries Both coal owners and the
men maintain their obstinate spirit,
and there seems little probability of a
rapid solution.
Meanwhile, besides the miners, more
than /, 500, 900 men in other trades have
been thrown out of work owing to lack
of fuel to run the factories. An in
crease in the prices of necessaries con-
sequent on the virtual stoppage of
freight shipments has caused much
distress to the workers families.
The mems leaders, however, have in
formed the government that there Will
be no resumption OF work until the
minimum wages bill for underground
workers has passed Parliament.
There was a further curtailnsnt Of
the railway passenger service today,
while more factories were Obliged to
close. A hundred steam trawlers are

COAL STRIKE
MAY FIZZLE
Deadlock Between Anthracite
Men and Operators Expected
to Be Broken.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The belief
that a suspension of work in the
anthracite coal mines on April 1. be-
cause of the deadlock between the
operators and the miners over work
ing conditions, will not be continued
long and that a settlement will be
reached. was expressed by coal opera
tors. here today. 1t was pointed out
that similar situation existed when
the agreement of the mine workers
expired before. There was a refusal
of the mine workers demands, followed
by a suspension, and later negotiations
were opened and the old agreement
renewed.
Vice-President Loomis, of the Della
ware, Lacka wanna and Western rail-
road, said nothing had taken place
that would prevent further action on
any new proposition made by the
miners He said he felt that the rank
and file of the mine workers were not
anxious for a strike. for they were
making good wages and their relations
with their employers were friendly.

She seemed little surprised. and said
Well, Laura will not go away

this. I waited at her suggestion till
her husband came from work While
waiting I asked her to see if Laura s
clothes were missing. She went to a
closet and, opening the door, said: No.
they are all still here. l waited till
midnight, when her husband came in,

found some of his stepdaughter's cloth
ing and hats gone. 1t was a. M, and

asked for my husband. 1 told him he

perturbed and said we had taken the
wrong steps, for if the affair was
given publicity the girls would not re-

NO CLUE IN
BOMB CASE

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Every avail
able detective at police headquarters is
searching the city today for the man
who attempted to slay Judge Otto A.
Rosalsky Saturday night with an in
fernal machine sent him through the
mails. Similarity of the typewriting
upon the package and of the manu-
facture of the deadly missile with that
which caused the death February 13
last of Helen Taylor at her home in
Seventy seventh street has led to the
opinion that the same man sent both
bombs. The police believe the sender
to be insane.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty de-
clared that the police have been unable
SO far to find clue to the sender's
identity Judge Rosalsky refuses to
discuss the case, but 1t is reported
that he has turned over to the police
a number of threatening letters which
he has received recently.

officials present at the legislative con-
ference in the mayors office today ap-
proved Bill 4S6, which provides for a
general increase of salaries of men,
bers of the fire department. 1t was re-
ported that inasmuch as there is a

the bill. Commissioners Weber and
Burke disapproved of the mems action
at the time, and the former, who is
president of the board at first ordered
the men back to quarters.
City Counsel James r. Nugent ex-
pressed his personal views on House
bill No. 525, introduced by Assembly
man Stickles. It provides that the
Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners be given the right to estimate
not later than April 1 the amount of
money which in their Judgment would
be necessary for that department each

of It :" All felt the same as Mr.. Nugent,
