RECENT SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
COST APPROXIMATELY $1,000 AC
coRDlNG TO ESTIMATE OF
STATE AUDITOR.

Jackson, Miss, June 1.-THE cost
of the recent extra session of the Mis-
sissippi legislature was approximately
$11 900, according to a close estimate
made today by State Auditor Duncan
L. Thompson. Mr.. Thompson stated
that while all of the warrants were
not in he was sure that the expenses
would be far short of the $12,750
named in the appropriation bill.
The salaries and mileage of the
members for the five days amounted
to between $4,000 and $4,000. There
are many smaller items to be paid out
but the auditor is confident the whole
cost will be considerable less than
$4,000.

JACKSON Chief
IS SUBP0ENAED
TO TESTIFY BEFORE GRAND JURY
RELATIVE TO CHARGES
AGAINST SCHWARTZ.

Jackson, Miss, June 17.-Chief of
Police Thos. P. Barr received a sub
poena to appear before the grand jury
today to give testimony relative to
the white slavery charge preferred
against George Schwartz, an aged and
wealthy citizn of Monroe, La.
The arrest OF Schwartz at a West
End hotel in this city several weeks
ago created a lively sensation. He
was found in a room at the hostelry
in company with Miss Cauthorn, a
15-year old girl, daughter of Pela-
hatchie lumber mill employee.
Following the arrest, Miss eau
thorn's father came to Jackson and
took sides with Schwartz, claiming
that the latter was an old frienl of the
family, and he felt no uneasiness over
his laughter being in Schwartz's COM
pany.
Notwithstanding this unexpected de-
velopment, Chief Barr preferred the
formal charge, and when arraigned for
preliminary hearing, Schwartz waived
trial and was put under a $4,000 bond
to await the grand jury session.
Chief Barr, 1t is stated, has collect
ed some very interesting evidence tend
ing to show that buying pretty clothes
for young girls was quite hobby with
Schwartz, and that he was a frequent
visitor to Jackson in company with
females of tender years.

take advantage of climates that are

the colored race should take greater

From winter resorts in all sections
From winter resorts in all sections
Of the United States, President Wilson
has selected the gulf coast of Missis-
sippi for spending his Christmas vaca-
ton. Definite announcement that he
will go to Pass Christian for the holi-
day season came from the White
House today. ,'t
The President will be accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson, the Misses Wilson,.
DR.. Grayson, his private physician, and
Representative Pat Harrison, whose
untiring efforts and glowing descrip-
ton Of the Mississippi coast we're
largely infdentialr in. the Presidents
selection.
The President selected Pass Chris
tion because Of its quitude, as the
strain of pushing the tariff and cur
rency legislation through Congress
has worn ON him and he desires COM
plete rest. He will not stop at hotel
but cottage, where he can enjoy
quiet. He will not accept any invita-
tions to appear at public or social
functions. He will rest.
Senator Vardaman notified DR.. Gray
son today that a suitable cottage had
been secured through efforts of Judge
w. H. Hardy of Pass Christian. The
cottage is that of Mrs. Herndon and
fronts on the beach.
Another inducement that Influenced
the President in his selection is the
invitation of the Mississippi Coast
Country Club. The golf links OF this
club are regarded as among the finest
in the country, and roads leading from
Pass Christian to the club are excel
lent. The President expects to motor
to the club and enjoy golf with DR..
Grayson daily, and in that way to re-
cuperate his lost strength.
1t is probable the Presidents party
will leave here Tuesday night, but
this depends on how speedily the
House and Senate take action on the
currency bill. He will leave immedi-
ately after signing the bill The trip
will be made in a special car attached
to one of the southern trains.
1t is expected the President will re-
main in Pass Christian until January

reception at the White House.
