WALL STREET MONEY MAFIA
Representative Henry Demands Inquiry
Into Black Hand Methods.

Washington.-Re Representative Henry of
Texas, chairman of the house rules COM
mittee, made sensational speech in
the house, in which he attacked the
money power in Wall street and de-
manded an inquiry into 'sthe black hand
methods of the financial malta in this
country He counseled thoroughgoing
investigation before congress accepted
the Aldrich plan of currency reform.
s'Is it not time. asked Mr.. Henry, "to
inquire into those black hand methods Of
the financial malta, which exist in this
eountryl"
He attacked the alleged money monop-
oily in Wall street and assumed that mo
effective investigation can be made into
the ramifcations of either currency Leg
islation, the trusts and interstate COM
merce corporations until congress under
stands the methods of the insidious and
almost supreme money power"

LOUISIANA WANTS
MISSISSIPPI MONEY
DELEGATION is GOING TO ASK FOR
$21, 900 FROM STATE.
Mississippi Is That Much in Debt to
Pelican State on Account of Fish
cries and Boundary.

,Jackson-P President Miller, Commits
sioner Fred J. Grace, Amos l.. Ponder,
attorney for the commission, Frank T..
Payne, chief surveyor, and G. S. Babing-
ton, secrtary of the Louisiana game COM
mission, are in Jackson to ask from tie
Mississippi legislature the sum of about
$21 900 which is due the state of Louis
lana, as result of Mississippi having
lost the suit with the state of Louisiana
some years ago relative to the boundaries
of the two states and the rights to
catch oysters.
The trouble started during the admin
istration of Gov. Vardaman, and went
to the supreme court of the United
States Louisiana's contention was up
held, and Mississippi, being the loser,
viii have to settle the costs, and about
$4,000 more in marking the boundary
of the two states and the fishing wa
ters adjacent thereto.
This was the row in which the Louis
lana authorities ordered out the state
forces, equipped some launches with
guns and arrested some Mississippi fish
ermen, and which for time bade fair
to really result in "war between the
states" sure enough.
There is no way to compel the state
of Mississippi to pay the bill, unless
Louisiana should come up and seize the
treasury, and if Mississippi don't want
to pay for her fun litigating there is
no way to make her. And the mere mem
tion OF S21, 900 at this time would scare
the appropriations committee to dsath.

QUESTION IS BEYOND
The SUPREME COUh
CONGRESS ALONE CAN PASS
REFERENDUM.
Court Rules Tax Imposed Under Initia-
tive and Referendum Contained No
Justiciable Question.

Washington.-Only congress, and not
the supreme court of the United States,
may object to the initiative and refer
endum method of legislation in the
states, so the court itself decided Mon
day.
The tribunal held that the question OF
whether state still maintained re-
publican form of government, guaranteed
by the federal constitution, after it
adopted the initiative and referendum
method, was political problem for con-
gress, and not judicial one for the
courts. ~ al WI
The decision was based on the claim
of the Pacific States Telephone and Tele-
gfraph Company that a tax upon it, I'M
posed by the initiative and referendum
method in Oregon, was unconstitutional.
The initiative and referendum provisions
in Missouri, California, Arkansas, Colo
RADIO, South Dakota, Utah, Montana,
Oklahoma, Maine and Arizona hung in
the balance An adverse decision would
have effected proposed legislation OF that
character in many other states.
Chief Justice White announced the de-
cision of the court. None of the justices
dissented.

Gov Brewer referred the papers to

Judge Brame's letter to Gov. Brewer
was not given out to the press, it is
understood that he protested against

NO FOREIGN LAND OWNERS.
Billed Passed Prohibiting Corporations
Holding Land

Jackson The house of representatives,
passed bin prohibiting corporations
from acquiring or holding land in this
state for agricultural or farming plr-
poses The bill was passed by the de-
cisive vote of 94 yeas to 10 nays. 4
stubborn fight was made against tho
measure by the minority, but without
any chance of success in materially
amending of killing the bill. The ma
jority OF the members had determined
to pass the bill, and they carried it
through with whoop. Only one amend
ment was adopted during the debate,
and the effect of that was to strengthen
the bill The bill was amended by in
serting provision prohibiting the gcant-
ing OF charters to corporations desiring
to acquire or hold lands for farming or
agricultural purposes.
The bill is drastic in its provisions.
1t is known as House Bill No. 300, or
the Corporation Land-Holding Bill"
About a dozen bills on this subject were
introduced and this mcasua was in the
nature of substitute for All OF tho
other bills. The bin passed absolutely
prohibits corporations from purchasing os
owning farm lands in Mississippi in the
future, but i. does not interfere with
any company that has already been or
ganized and is now engaged in that bus
mess. The bill applies to foreign cor
porations as well as domestic corpora
tions. Chancery courts are given power
to appoint receivers and dissolve any
corporation that attempts to violate or
eyade the law. The attorney general
of the state and the district attorneys
are required to enforce the provisions
of the act.

KNOX MAY NOT
VISIT COLOMBIA
COLOMBIAN MINISTER SUGGESTS
TIMF is "INOPPORTUNE"
Ministers Suggestion Taken in Diplo.
matte Circles as Personal Affront
to This Government.

Washington.-A grave diplomatic sit
nation between the United States and
Colombia has been precipitated by the
publication of a letter which Senior Pedro
Mel Ospina the Colombian minister, has
written to Acting Secretary Huntington
Wilson of the state department, suggest
ing that it might be ''inopportune' for
Secretary Knox to visit Colombia during
his projected tour of Central America.
The Colombian minister, first drawing
attention to the fact that the views are
kis own IA not ofiniallg those Of bia
government, seriously criticises the
United States for not submitting to
arbitration the differences with Colom-
bia growing out of this governments
acquisition of the Panama canal zone.
Inasmuch as the letter, admittedly, is
the personal expression of the minister,
written without having communicated
with his government, it was received at
the state department in the nature of a
personal insult to this government.
Acting Secretary Wilson had advised
Senior Ospina of the probable itinerary
of Secretary Knox. What is said to have
particularly aroused the Colombian min
ister was a reference to the republic of
Panama in the itinerary, a country
whose independence Colombia never has
recognized. He makes veiled reference
to the long delay of the United States
in answering several notes addressed to
it, seeking arbitration, and charges that
this government has Disseminated
against Colombia in failing to give to
her arbitration, which the United States
is now offering to other members of the
family of nations.

COURTS WRANCLE,
MURDERERS HANG
JAILER FORESTALLS COURT ORDER
BY EXECUTING THE MEN.
Negro Sought Habeas Corpus on
Ground of Conviction by Finger
Print Evidence.

Chicago.-More men were hanged In
Chicago than suffered death for throw
ing the Haymarket bomb in the anar-
chists riots of 1886.
Two murders caused FIVE men to walk
to the gallows, and drop to their death,
while four were hanged for the Haymar
ket bomb-throwing. Frank Shiblawski,
Ewald Shiblawski, his brother; Phillip
Somlnering and Thomas Schultz, slay
ers of Fred w. Guelzow, Jr., truck
farmer, whom they killed in cold blood,
after rohhirg him. died while their spir-
itual adviser was seeking 10. convince
a judge that the four were insane.
The execution of the men, who were
hanged in pairs, the Shiblawski brothers
first, cut short the plea.
The hanging of Thomas Jennings,
negro, who killed Clarence Hitler, while
attempting to rob the Hitler home, came
after Judge Landis, in the United States
district court, had denied petition for
release on a writ of habeas corpus,
which set forth that Jennings had been
convicted on finger print evidence, which
he had been compelled to give the police,
in violation of his rights.
The Shiblawslzi brothers were the first
to mount the scaffold and the drop bad
scarcely fallen when bailiff from Judge
Mckinley of the superior court rushed
into the jail and summoned Jailer Davies
to court.
The command was not obeyed, and in
stead, Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters tele-
phoned to the Judge that two of the men
had been hanged and that the execu-
tions would proceed unless formal writ
prevented.

Brewer Revives Elective Judiciary.

Gov. Brewer revived the elective ju-
dietary question by sending a special
message to the legislature requesting the
lawmaking department to join the exec
utive department in requesting the SUI
preme court to furnish an opinion on the
validity of the constitutional amendment
adopted by the people making circuit
and chancery court judges elective. The
governor advised that this course be
pursued before the amendment is in
serted into the constitution. Unless
this course is followed, he pointed out,
chaotic conditions in the states judicial
branch might follow.
The senate, following the suggestion
of the governor, adopted a concurrent
resolution calling upon the supreme court
for an opinion.
The bill introduced by Senator Bond
empowering boards of supervisors and
municipalities to appropriate money for
exhibits at the Mississippi centennial to
be held at Gulfport in 1917, was re-
ported favorably to the senate by the
committee on agriculture.
Bills have been introduced in both
the senate and the house to permit the
manufacture of wood alcohol in the state.
If Law covering this subject is enacted
it is said that it will result in the es-
Establishment of half million dollar plants
at Hattiesburg and Gulfport to manu-
facture wood alcohol out Of waste pine
timber.
