that about 100000 will be paid out

on account of the dullness in specula-

total will be smaller than in some
former years in which trading in
stocks was heavy.
In some houses in 1.-THE street fixed

Employees of J. p Morgan & Co. will
not receive their bonuses until just be-
fore the close of the year. Ten years
ago their present was a years salary,
but since that time 10 per cent has
usually been paid to clerks affiliated
with the firm for ten years or less, and
IS per cent to those who have been

There is growing tendency in the
financial district to substitute salary
increases at the first of the year for
Christmas bonuses, on the ground that
indiscriminate distribution of lump
sums placed no premium upon merit.
A number of large Wall street institu
tons also have introduced the pens ion
system for superannuated employees in
place of Christmas gifts.

will be made into these charges
by the grand jury.
In statement given out after
Becker'S arrest, Whitman said he
had made no charges against the
rank and file of policemen in New
York; that he would make no al
legations about higher ups"
that the evidence would be pre-

ing them to keep open.
Rose told the complete story of
the planning of the murder of
Rosenthal. He said that Becker
declared that Rosenthal had civ
ed too long and must be put out
of the way" Arrangements were
left to him. He saw Jack Selig,
boss of a gang of notorious gun
men, and paid him to have his
thugs kill the gambler who
squealed. -Four of Selig's men
committed the actual crime, Beck
er guaranteeing that he would
take care of all implicated.
The ease with which the muir
derers escaped seems to bear out
that part of Roses story.
After their confessions Rose,
Weber and Harry WALTON, who
made a supplementary statement,
were kept in the witness room adj

They said that if they were sent
back to cells they would be done

Investigations will not stop with
the tncovering of the alleged CON

THE GRACE TRIAL. :.
Atlanta, Ga, July 3o.-The line
of prosecution of Mrs. Daisy Opie
Grace was revealed this morning
when Solicitor Dorsey declared
that the murder was planned a
long time in advance and that
when Mrs. Grace went to visit her
husbands mother the day he was
shot she carried with her a black
dress, in order to have proper
mourning apparel when the news
of the shooting became known.
In support of this contention he
introduced letter written by
Mrs. Grace to her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Hill, the defense making a
bitter fight to have it withheld
from the jury.
1t was charged that Grace
planned to go to Philadelphia
March S; that his wife plotted to
shoot him early that morning;
that she was then going to Mrs.
Hills home, and on returning
with Mrs. Hill to discover the
dead body.

Assistant Attorney-G General Claude
Clayton and Judge w. D. Anderson
left Saturday night for Washington
City where they will appear before the
Supreme Court of the United States to
argue the motion of counsel for the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Com
pany to dismiss the suit instituted by
the Mississippi Railroad Commission
to compel the road to comply with an
order of the Railroad Commission to
put in an extra stop for its passenger
trains at Bay st. Louis. The question
involved grows out of the statute intro
duced by Judgs Anderson during the
session of the legislature of 1908 which
penalties any public corporation doing
business in this State upon removal of
a ase to the Federal court where it
had been first sued in the State Court.
This question has been passed on by
the Supreme Court of the State and
the statute upheld. The motion now
before the Supreme Court does not dis
pose of the appeal on its merits.
In this issue you will notice the char
ter of incorporation of the new Theatre
Company. The promoters of this en-
terprise have gotten so near the goal
they feel confident the enterprising
citizens of Tupelo will not let the
project fail. The plans call for one of
the most .up-to-date buildings Of its
kind in the state, a building every
citizen in the city would be proud of.
The promoters are SO loath to reduce
the plans, or cut down one item that
will mar the appearance, that they are
taking chances on raising the balance
of the money needed-two thousand
dollars. They have all raised their
original subscriptions, feeling they are
justified, as they have an assured in
come of 81, 800 per annum. and will
certainly, after taxes and insurance
are paid, realize eight per cent on the
Investment. S. j. High. Norbin Jones,
j. E. Motlow and Frank Goodlett are a
committee to raise the needed funds
before the contract will be let. Sub
scriptions are payable in installments.
See them and help this project along,
even if the amount is not large.

YOUR HAIR

~ VERY time she combs her hair a
woman should shake It down
first, and, running her hands
up underneath. ruffe it up by rub
bling the scalp vigorously with the
tips of the fingers. The ruffilng and
shaking about gives the hair fresh
air and the moment OF massage slim
ulates the scalp toward more
healthy action.
The oily scalp, which is only made
worse by massage with cream or
olive oil, Is sometimes put in a more
wholesome condition with a massage
of salt and water. Put a teaspoonful
OF table salt in about a cupful OF
water and dip the fingers into this,
applying them to the scalp alone.
Such rubs are also good for anaemic
scalps, the one that drops too much
hair with each combing or is consti-
tutionally inactive.
