GOVERNOR MAKES STATEMENT
DENIES he SANCTIONS PLAN OF
COLLINS & co.
GoYernOr Reads Letter Sent Out by New
Workers to Legislators in Missis-
sippi, and Makes Comment
on the Circular.

.Jaekson.-Gov Brewer denies that ne
sanctioned a plan for the redemption OF
the celebrated repudiated bond issue OF
Mississippi many years before the Ciyil
War, as proposed in a circular letter sent
to legislators OF this state by the firm OF
II. b. Collins l. Co., bankers, OF Wall
street, New York.
The letter stated that the members
of the firm had consulted with Gov.
Brewer, among others, regarding some
plan to redeem the ante-bellum bonds,
which were repudiated by legislative en-
actmemt before the war. The New York
firm appears to be seeking to have Mis-
sissippi issue a new bond on terms with
a long sinking fund which would take up
the old ~repudiated bonds. The latter rep
resent something like $7,000,OO0
Discussing the circular letter, Gov.
Brewer said.
Il don't know anything about the let
ter except what | read in the letter
printed in a paper. | note in the letter
that it says they conferred with me about
it, and in ceply to this part will say
that they never conferred with me about
sending out any letter of this kind. All
| had to say to them about it was that
under the constitution Of this state no
member Of the legislature or any other
public officer of this state could do any
thing looking to a payment OF any kind,
principal or interest out of any OF the
funds of the state of Mississippi. In
other words the constitution prohibits the
payment of any principal or interest on
these bonds out of the state treasury, and
hence nc legislator OF any other ohIciai
of this state could make any payment II
he 50 desired.
"Of course | could not sanction the
plan set out in this letter because 1t
would be violative of the constitution oil
this state"

COURT SAYS NO
1uEI WAS F0nGHT
UV6I UHS IVVOUI
UPHoLDs WIDOWS CLAIM AGAINST
nNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
S. If DEFENSE is ALLEGED
Policy on Life Of Husband Of Mrs. Hattie
Baker Held to Be Valid and De
cision Of Lower Court Is
Reversed.

~Jackson.-Thc case OF Mrs. Hattie Ba-
ker IS. the Supreme Lodge, Knights OF
Pythias. which was before the supreme
court from Pamela county, grew out OF q
tragedy which occurred some months ago
at Batesville. Baker, the husband OF the
appellee, had j policy in the Pythian or
der. which policies contain an anti-duel-
ing clause, which would have the effect
OF violating the policy, provided the IN
.urcd member should engage III a duel Or
should meet his death through violation
Of the law. 1t appears Baker and a man
naemd Lester had a difficulty, the latter
approaching Baker in a threatening man-
nor with a weapon in hand, when the
deceased invited him to put down your
gun and5 it out" to which invitation
the other demurred, then followed by 4
suggestion by Baker that he be allowed
to get his " pistol and they shoot 1t
out at a dozen PAGES. Lester appears to
have asscnted to this, and Baker arose,
walked across the room, and as he did
so. thrust his hand into his bosom to
draw out a revolver, %whereupon Lester
fired and killed him.
In the opinion OF the court, this could
not be classified as a duel, though un-
doubtodly Baker, in carrying q weapon
concealed about his person; was in that
way violating the law. The court held,
however, that the appellant was entitled
to some benefit from her husbands pol
icy, based on tie general mortality and
expectation Of life tables, and that the
ease should be reversed.

ed to the docket the case oil the City OF
Water Valley VS.. State, ex rel Attorney
General Collins, involving the constitu'
tionality of the legislative act of 1910 ex-
tending the terms of municipal officers
from two to four years. The case was
orally argued last week and goes back
TO the docket because of fancy typewrit-
ing in the briefs. The rules of the court
require using black ink. In the briefs
filed in this case the typists of the at.
torneys had used several varieties of
fancy red and purple inks, and the case
will not be considered by the court until
the documents appear in the more prosais
and enduring black record ink.

MONEY MARKET is EASY.
Farmers Are Offered Plenty of Six Per
Cent Loans.

The withdrawal of foreign building
and loan corporations from Mississippi
on the LIST of January, on which date the
new statute lowering the legal rate OF
interest from ten to eight per cent has
apparently not diminished the volume CT
money available for loans, and thus far
there have been no complaints of the
scarcity OF money when reasonable Sc
curity is offered.
On the contrary, the companion stat
ute excmpting from taxation all money
loaned at six per cent or less has SEEM
ingly brought into activity a large vol
ume of money, and loans are not diff
cult to obtain, either upon city or farm
property.
