TO STOP SHIPS SPEEDING.

New Orleans, La, May 10-Methods
to stop vessels from coming up the
Mississippi river at full speed during
high water were discussed at joint
meeting of levee boards here today.
The wash from ships, especially the
larger ocean liners, is a serious men
ace to the levees during flood stage
and severe measures probably will be
authorized in order to hold the boats
to maximum speed of eight miles an
hour. Even United States warships
were accused of plying the river I'M
der full Roadway. 1t was pointed out
that the danger had been increased
greatly with the opening of Southwest
Pass, which permits the entrance of
the largest vessels into the river.

quently the reader was interrupted by
the songs of the characters at appro-
pirate points in the story. All of the
songs were written by Miss Smith.
Although Miss Smiths Hiawatha is
similar to a pantomime that recently
was published in the Ladies' Home
Journal it is different in that it was
arranged for production on the stage
rather than outdoors and covers only
the scene depicting the early child
hood of Hiawatha, making it strictly
a production for juveniles.
The music for the song Lady Moon
was written by Miss Ethel Powe, and
was so we'll received by the large au-
dience that the writer will be incourag-
ed to have 1t published.

following words: I'VE the jury find
the defendant not guilty and commend
his official integrity" Judgment was
entered accordingly.
This ends a case in which there
was much interest felt by the public

Mr.. Magruder is held. No one who
knew the facts ever believed Mr.. Ma
gruder had knowingly appropriated a
cent of public money to his own use
When the case was called, it was
shown that the indictment had been

one of the oldest of religious associa-
tons. The order was founded early
in the sixth century by st. Benedict,
who introduced monastic life into
western Europe. No religious order
has been so remarkable for extent,
wealth and men of note and learning
as the Benedictines. The order is
said to have had 40 popes, 200 cardi-
nails and several thousand archbishops
and bishops. Numerous emperors and
kings of long ago also belonged to the
order. The Benedictines have never
taken a prominent part in politics,
but have produced many literary
works.

Hiawatha, pantomime arranged by
Miss Leila May Smith of the Hatties-
burg public schools, was one of the
most favorably received numbers on
the program of the Music Festival at
the Auditorium last night. It was
acted by IS children of the primary
grades assisted by Miss Lynch as read
err, Miss Pettigrew as Nakomis, and
Miss Lorena Thompson, director.
Aside from the fact that the panto-
mime was splendidly acted by the
children, who displayed excellent abil-
ity and training, it was a splendid ar
rangement of the beautiful poem for
production by primary grades.
The scene opened with the stage
dimly lighted by the campfire before
a wigwam set amidst forest and noun
tain scenery. Little Hiawatha was
asleep with his head in Nakomis' lap.
Surrounding the sleeping child were
boys and girls dressed to represent
fireflies, birds, rabbits, owlets and the
moon. Nakomis was singing can In

years had collected and handled some
thing over $350,0OO.O0; that the first
year he overpaid the amount that he
