SESSION CITY COURT

Anna Bell Williams was arraigned
before the mayor this morning charg-
ed with keeping liquor for sale. Her
case was by request continued until
Tuesday morning.
Anna Belle was arrested as the re-
suit of a raid by the police when they
found in her house seven quarts of
beer, three quarts of "Hayner" whisky,
sealed, and one quart bottle unsealed
with part of it's contents gone
ALA Birge, one of the two women
who sometime ago escaped Jail, hav-
ing been caught at Lucedale and re-
turned here, was arraigned but not
tried on the charge of escaping, as it is
the hope of the officers to use her for
bringing others to the bar of justice.
Alice Thigpen, charged with assault
and battery, plead not guilty and upon
investigation the mayor discharged
her.
Ellen Thigpen and Elem Thigpen,
charged with fighting were each fined
IS and cost.
Frank Dalton, one-legged pencil
seller, who feeling good over his
Saturdays sales, got on a "high-lone-
some" Sunday and gave Officer Hugh
McInnis about all he could do to lock
him up, was discharged upon his firm
promise to the mayor that he would
leave town at once.
George Code was fined 81 and cost
on a charge of drunk.
Violet Stephenson, not quite so mild
or modest as her first name suggests,
was fined 81 and cost for assault and
battery on Castine Beasley.
John Johnson was given 80 days in
Jail for stealing groceries from the
storage room at Hotel Hattiesburg.

ALABAMA negro
ARRESTED here
WIFE LEADS TO ARREST
OF MAN CHARGED WITH
CRIME.

Chief of Police j. F. Bennett and po-
lice Officer Hugh McInnis Saturday
afternoon arrested Ed. Arlington, alias
Android at a negro barber shop on
Mobile street upon information that
he was wanted at Calvert, Ala, for
a murderous assault on Frank Watson,
a peaceable, well-thought-of, old negro
of that place. The assault was with
a c. L. Smith special shot gun and
came near resulting in the death of
his victim.
When arrested Arlington admitted
that he was the man wanted and ex-
pressed a willingness to go back to
Alabama without governors requisi-
tion. He said to the officers, "this is
what man gets for being bad boy"
Arlington has a Filipino wife, hav-
ing married her in the Philippine Is
lands. This fact was what led so
easily to his arrest. The description
sent out by the Alabama Justice of
the Peace mentioned the negro's Fill
pino wife and when Chief Bennett
learned that a negro living on Mobile
street had as a wife a native of the
Philippines he at once concluded it
was he that was wanted

er modern conveniences.
There is little financial matter
that must necessarily neglect to set
tie before leaving, but l want to assure
you that this is not because of any
lack of willingness on my part, or
through desire to neglect a Just finan-
cial obligation. I win remit you the
balance due on my fine just as soon
as am able to secure a position that
will enable me to save something
over and above actual living expenses.
That, as you know, is not very easy
in this era of high cost of living"
DeMott's parents reside on West
Capitol street, in this city. The young
ster has not been heard from since he
took leave of the Scott county jail.
He made his getaway by breaking two
tron bars from window where two
negroes escaped a few weeks ago.
After escaping DeMott was in no hurry
about leaving Forest, making a trip
around town to tell number of his
friends goodbye.

PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES PLEA TO
CONGRESS FOR reform OF CURRENCY
WALTERS Cannot Auord
Extradltlon Very Long

Jackson, Miss, June 23.-Although
the attorneys for w. G. Walters, al
legged kidnapper of the Dunbar child,
have declared that they will keep the
extradition proceedings tied up in the
court at least six years, well-informed
lawyers here at the capital are of the
opinion that they will not succeed in
making good their threat.
1t is practically certain, according to
those who are familiar with the Mis-
sissippi statutes on the subject Of ex.
eradition, that w. c. Walters win be
sent to Opelousas for trial just as
soon as the Supreme Court passes on
the pending habeas corpus proceed
ings, which will be in November or
December The hearing of the habeas
corpus writ takes place before Judge
Weathersby at Poplarville on July End,
and 1t will be impossible to prepare
the appeal in time to get it docketed

mer adjournment, which will be about
three weeks hence.

Humorist DidnfL,ke Scott
County Jail, So Departs

jackson, Miss, June 23.-Paul De-
Mott, a young white man of this city
who has been engaged for the past
week in sowing f1ourishing crop of
wild oats, is somewhat of a humorist.
DeMott was recently arrested and
fined at Forest on the charge of car
rying concealed weapons. Being with.
out funds, he was remanded to Jail
to serve out the sentence.
During the past week heat wave
of almost intolerable intensity had
Mississippi in its grasp. and, it seems
to have been especially torrid In the
Scott county jail. At any rate, Paul
DeMott decided to take French, leave
of his involuntary place of residence,
and he left the following note in his
cell, addressed to Sheriff Mckenzie:
Il dislike very much to leave with
out saying goodbye, but, fearing that
you might try to persuade me to re-
main, l must depart without that
formallity, and sincerely hope that
you will overlook this seeming act
of discourtesy.

part of the week. The consignments
to go under the hammer included
forty-three yearlings from the famous
Elmendorf stud of James p. Haggin

farm of H. T. Oxnard. The promi-
nenee of the horses to be disposed of
led to marked interest in the occasion
and many prominent horsemen and
breeders were on hand at the opening
of the sale.

readily to vitalize its credit, corporate
and individual, and it's originative
brains. What will 1t profit US to be
free If we are not to have the best and
most accessible instrumentalities of
commerce and enterprise? What will
it profit us to be quit of one kind of
monopoly If we are to remain In the
grip of another and more effective
kind? How are we to gain and keep
the confidence of the business CON-
munity unless we show that we know
how both to aid and to protect It?
What shall we say If we make fresh
enterprise necessary and also make 1t
very difficult by leaving all else ex-
cept the tariff just as we found It?
The tyrannfes of business, big and lit
tie, lie within the field of credit. We
know that. Shall we not act upon the
knowledge? DO we not know how to
act upon It? If man cannot make
his assets available at pleasure, his as
sets of capacity and character and re-
source, what satisfaction is It to him
to see opportunity beckoning to him on
every hand, when others have the
keys of credit in their pockets and treat
them as all but their own private pos

Is our duty to supply the new banking
and currency system the country
needs, and that It will Immediately
need more than ever
The only question is. When shall
we supply it-now, or later, after the
demands shall have become re-
proaches that we were so dull and so
slow? Shall we hasten to change the
tariff laws and then be laggards about
making it possible and easy for the
country to take advantage of the
change? There can be only one an
swer to that question. We must act
now, at whatever sacrifice to ourselves.
It is duty which the circumstances
forbid us to postpone. Il should be re-
creant to my deepest convictions of
public obligation did ! not press It
upon you with solemn and urgent in
sistence.
The principles upon which we should
act are also clear. The country has

more clearly now than it ever saw it
before-much more clearly than when

der instructions from Gov. Brewer. At.
torney General Ross A. Collins todav
filed an attachment in the chancery
court here against all properties in
Mississippi of the Memphis and New
Orleans cotton firms of Boyce q Com
pany and more than thousand bales
of cotton recently bought by Boyce
from the state and which is now ON
the wharves in New Orleans ready for
export. The action was taken i'm
mediately after the Governor received
the much sought after foreign weights
on cotton shipped from Mississippi to
European points by Boyce after the
latter had purchased it from the state
penitentiary trustees.
In his letter to the Attorney General.
asking that official to take action To
stop the shipment of their cotton and
attach the bank accounts and office
furniture of Boyce & Company at the
Clarksdale office. the Governor makes
sensational statements.
The letter includes the following
paragraphs;
Il have obtained the European
weights on the cotton sold Boyce &
Co. by the board of trustees of the
Mississippi state penitentiary and
find that the state has been outra-
geous swindled in the weights by com
parison with the weights which the
state was paid for it.
Il note that there are I,12s bales of
cotton purchased by this firm now in
the hands of the Illinois Central Rail-
road Co. and l would advise that You
proceed to sue out an attachment
against this firm for the fraudulent OBJ
tainment of this cotton and above what
they paid for, and levy this attachment
by garnisheeing the Illinois Central
Railroad Company. and 1 would sug-
gest that you levy upon the properties
of Boyce & Company to be found in
the county of Coahoma in this state"
Because of pressure of business ON
the office of the Attorney General
Gov. Brewer has employed the local
law firm of Mays & Mays to assist
Attorney General Collins in carrying
out his suggestions.
The Attorney General fled the at
tachment papers before Chancellor
p q. Jones. The document is a
lengthy one, going into minute detail.
The complaint charges that the cot
ton firm of Boyce & Company and G.
l.. Wilkinson & Co, of Memphis, are
in fact one concern and are partners
and that any property held by the
railroad company or the banks in the
name of the one or the other is in
