Miss Nellie Slevin. of the Cath
ole Woman's League of Chicago,
has returned from Rome, where
she was granted an interview
with Pope Plus K.
At that interview, Miss Slevin
says that the Pope promised to

girls who emigrate from Europe
to this country and fall by the
thousands into the clutches of the
white slavers.
Miss Slevin, who is a teacher.
in the Charles Sumner public

to tell him of the active work done
by the Catholic Woman's
league.
She gave the pontif copy Of
the Chicago Vice Commissions
report with its horrible story of
the traffic in women that goes on
in Chicago.
Pope Plus was deeply shocked,
and Immediately promised to use
the entire machinery of the
church in Europe to prevent girls
going unprepared to the United
States.

Big BOND ISSUE
FOR GOOD ROADS
Hinds County Supervisors Will Au.
thorlze Issue Amounting to
100000.
Special to The Netcs.

Jackson, Miss, June 4.-The Kinds
county board of supervisors at its
session this afternoon will pass an or.
der declaring it's purpose to float a
bond in the sum of 100000 for a con.
tinuance of the good roads construc-
tion work in the first and fifth district
The bond issue meets with the cor.
dial approval of the taxpayers in the
two districts, all of whom are pleased
with the splendid highways that have
been constructed with the 5000, ,00C
bond issue authorized about eighteen
months ago. D
When the work now being planned
is completed it will mean a system OF
roads leading into Jackson, and Gov
ering large area of the county, sec.
ond to none in this part of the coun-
try.
The Jackson Board OF Trade at a
meeting thirty days ago adopted a
resolution requesting the board OF
supervisors to order the bond issue,
and a majority of the members
promptly declared their willingness
to do so.
1t was the Board of Trade that
launched the original goodroads move
ment in Kinds county, ably assisted
by President Gordon, of the Board of
Supervisors, and a recent inspection
of the highways shows that all
moneys thus far paid out have been
judiciously expended.

The County Cotton Acreage
Reduced Least so Per Cent

The Commercial Appeal of Memphis
on Monday published reports from the
cotton belt from which it figured a
decrease of only per cent in cotton
acreage. The decrease in Mississip.
pi was shown at IL per cent.
In the opinion of r. w. Thompson
the Agricultural field agent for For
rest county, the falling off of cotton
acreage in this county is fully so per
cent as compared with last year. One
locality visited by Mr.. Thompson
where four neighboring farmers were
we'll along with their work, he found
$50 acres planted to corn, against one
half acre in cotton. When asked if
he had any boil weevil, the farmer
having the cotton, said he did not
know, but when he and Mr.. Thomp.
son went into the field the weevil was
there.

EXAMINE APPLICANTS
FOR M. D. LICENSE.

Jackson, Miss, June 1.-The semi
annual session of the state board Of
health for the purpose of examining
applicants for license to practice med
icine in Mississippi met in representa-
tives' hall at nine o'clock this morn
ing.
The examination will cover period
of two days, and consists of eighty
questions covering the eight principal
branches of medicine. The board will
be engaged for at least three days
after the close of the examination.
Due to the enactment of the new
Medical Practice Act at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, the number of
applicants was not as large as usual,
the class consisting of only about 100
graduates of the various medical col
leges.
Hereafter the state board will re-
quire applicants to exhibit diplomas
from medical colleges of recognized
standing before being permitted to
stand the examination.

John SHARP IS
AGIN So BATHS
Favors Doing Away With Luxuriant
Bath Rooms in the Office
Building.

Washington, June 4.-Charging that
lit cost Sc to bathe a Senator in the
I luxurious bathrooms of the Senate Of
flee building, Senator John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi yesterday renew
ed the agitation for the removal of the
baths to make place for public docu-
ments.
The documents now occupy all the
space in an abandoned car barn and
the discussion arose in connection
with provision in the legislative, exc
'cutive and judicial appropriation bill,
appropriating money to continue the
payment of the rent for that struc-
ture. Mr.. Williams suggested that the
documents should be removed to the
basement of the office building, but it
was stated that all the space had
been appropriated.
Let us move out the baths" said
Mr.. Williams. "There is no use to
have the government bathe us. The
establishment arouses public criticism
and is of little use. 1t is like going
through bull pasture with a red flag
which makes a bad impression on the
bull. 1t gives the muckraker a chance
to rake, and the graft isn't worth
while. There is no sense in it."

South Dakota Votes Today.

Sioux Falls, S. D. June 4.-The
primary campaign in South Dakota
closed last night. Interest centers in
the contest for the capture of the ten
delegates to the Nationa, conventions.
The campaign between the Clark and
Wilson forces has been lively and
both sides are claiming victory.
The delegation pledged for Wilson
will appear on the ballots under the
heading "Wilson-Bryan Progressive
Democracy" The original Clark tick
ct will appear under the head "Wil-
son-Clark-Bryan Democracy" while a
straight Clark ticket also will appear
upon the ballots under the head,
Champ Clark for President" There
are three Republican lists of delegates
in the field--Taft, Roosevelt and La
Toilette.
President Taft's supporters are
hopeful that, with the division of the
anti-Taft vote between Roosevelt and
La Toilette the Taft delegates can be
elected. The Roosevelt workers
claim that Roosevelt delegates will be
elected by pluralities ranging from
10000 to $4,000.

The letter will be followed up by a
visit of Mr.. Driver to the convention
and the members of the Association
who make their headquarters in Hat
tiesburg have signihed their willing
ness to cooperate, and if this city is
not selected it will not be through
lack of interest of the parties con-
cerned.
1t will be remembered that during
last January Mr.. Driver and other Of
ficials of the Hotel Hattiesburg enter
tanned the members of the Mississippi
Travellers at complimentary banquet,
which was attended by some 300, and
it is expected that this will go long
ways toward assisting this city in Sc
curing the next convention.

Diversification is more general than
ever in this county. There has been
some disappointment in the matter of
Irish potato yields; the reason assign
ed, is the Teaching out" of the ferti-
lizer, caused by the long continued
spring rains. When asked as to what
attention is being given to stock rails
ing, Mr.. Thompson said, that there is

Today.

Washington, June 4.-Worn and
weak, Senator Lorimer of Illinois, the
central figure in the greatest election
contest fought out in congress for
many years, resumed his seat in the

Senator Lorimer reached Washing
ton early in the day and rested in his
hotel until late in the afternoon
when he went to the senate and took
his seat in the rear row of the
chamber. His appearance attracted
little attention, a few senators greet
ing him as they recognized him in his
accustomed place.
Senator Lorimer refused to discuss
his plans, beyond saying that he
would make a speech in his defense
and that he regarded the senate as
the place in which to deliver any
statement that he cared to make.

a resignation" he said, "and I am
not going to discuss that question. 1
have been ill and am still weak, but
am getting better and hope to con-

if my strength holds out"
Mr.. Lorimer was asked regarding
a poll of the senate which indicated
majority in favor of unssating him,
but he merely remarked that he had
not seen the poll.
