CHARGED W|THUS|NG
MAILS TO DEFRAUD
William e. Edwards,
Broker, Arrested in
New York City

New York, December Civilian e.
Edwards, junior member of a Broadway
brokerage firm, was arrested today in
connection with the federal suit pending
against officers of the Sterling Debenture
company and the oxford Linen Mills
company, who are accused of using the
mails in an alleged conspiracy to defraut
investors of the Oxford company, which
has mills at Brookfield, Mass. Edwards
was once treasurer of the Sterling COM
pany. He furnished bail of $4,000 before
United States Judge Hunt was released.
Edwards was arrested after an indfct-
ment had been returned, designed to In
clude him, superseding the original true
bill brought a year ago against George
H. Middlebroow, president of the Sterl-
ing company; Benjamin Z. Nudge an
inventor: Frank e. Winchell, president OF
the oxford company, and five others
The superceding indictment alleges that
the defendants, through fraudulent repre-
sensations, disposed of stock of the OK
ford company and subsidiaries to the
amount of $1,500,000. Edwards, according
to the indictment left the Sterling COM
pany, a stock selling concern, and be-
came a member of a brokerage firm IN
oroer to buy and boom the oxford stock
The trial of this case will be begun next
Monday.

in announcing that hereafter no loans Of
this kind will be made. Some of the great
banks of New York have never over-cer-
titled. A few years ago, when George II.
Baker as still the active executive head
of the First National bank, a friend
called upon him to say that man oil
wealth, of irreproachable business stand
ing, would be glad If he could open an
account with the First National. This
man presumably would maintain a large
balance with the bank. Mr.. Baker spoke
in high terms of the business reputation
of his applicant and said that the First
National would be very glad to receive
the account. He added that one thing
should be understood, the First National
never over-certifed checks for brokers
or anybody else. There other large
banks in New York which do exclusively
commercial business whose managers
have insisted that the cashier should
not certify any check unless the funds
were on hand in sufficient amount to
cover the check.
Yet on the other hand. men of the high
est reputation both for personal ana
banking integrity for years specialized as
bankers in dealing with the brokers' NO
man ever gained higher reputation in
the banking life of New York for integrity
of character, personal and business, than
did the late Frederick ID. Happen He
always defended the transaction by means
of which brokers were enabled to Obtain
credit in the morning so that they could
meet their obligations during the day AMI
make good their accounts with the banks
before o'clock in the afternoon. Mr.
Happen once told the writer that he had
never in all his experience known but one
default, and that was accidental II the
banks of New York who have dealings
with the brokers at this time decline here
after to over-certify checks or make day
loans it seems inevitable that banks in
other parts of the country that have car
ried on transa ctions of this kind will be
compelled to do the same thing.
Already there are limitations that the
matter will be brought to the attention
of the clearing house association. And
it may be that the result of this judicial
opinion will be the adoption of the Lon
don system of bi-monthly settlements

speech he made here a few days ago adj

SPLIT RUMORED IN
PANKHURST FAMILY

London, December 22-Mrs. Emmehne
Pankhurst, militant suffragette leader
left London very quietly yesterday for
Paris on her way to Switzerland TO re-
ouperate from her captive weakness.
This was produced in a hunger and thirst
strike in Holloway Jail from which she
was released on December II.
Her departure was not accompanied by
the augury of the demonstrations usual.
Rumors were in circulation today that
relations were strained between Miss
Sylvia Pankhurst and Miss Christabel
Pankhurst, the two daughters of the mill
tant leader in consequence of Miss
Sylvia's determination to concentrate her
arson squad campaign in the East End
of London and in efforts to cooperate
with the members of the labor party.
Miss Christabel disapproves of this
scheme and is said to be Withholding
funds.

Jackson, Miss, December 22.-(Spe-
cial. )-There is an old saying that
There is more in the man than in the
land referring of course to the farmer
who makes a good living on poor dirt
or under other adverse circumstances.
This truism may also be applied to the
cattle industry, as some men who have
the finest blooded stock fail, while his
neighbor with scrub stock makes d
fortune.
This though was brought forcibly TO
mind few nights since when the
Jackson Board of Trade met to pay
tribute to w J. Ravis & Co, owners
of Hereford bull that recently won
the championship of the world at Chi
cago. 1t was suggested by more than
one speaker that in order to raise good
beef 1t was necessary to have a first
class and blooded bull. This is not In
tended to decry the fine bull in the
least-all honor to them, for the rea-
son that the average man who owns a
fine bull will take better care of him
and his progeny than he would of the
scrub.
However, the writer has seen some
beef cattle from scrub stock as fine as
he ever saw from any other, and grown
within 25 biles of Jackson. For many
years there was a farmer named Silas
Tucker, who lived in the vicinity of
Cato, Rankin county, and his sons are
there yet. He came originally from

$4,000. and the court ordered it to give
bond for twice the value of the difference
between the value of the property and the
face value of the bonds. Mr.. Armbrecht
agreed TO the filing of bond in lieu of a
trial of the case on its merits and pro-
cee6ings will be entered to determine the
responsibility for the payment of the
bonds.
The Citizens Light, Heat and Power

tered in an effort to muddy the water

FARMER CAN MAKE MONEY
BY RAISING SCRUB CATTLE
by Il. Il. FRANZ

Massachusetts an destablished a mill
on one of the many little creeks near
his home, and there for many years he
ground wheat, corn, etc, and cleaned
rice for himself and his neighbors, as
well as ginned his cotton In the fall
of the year and during the winter he
hauled his cotton to town, some ID
miles over as bad roads as any man
ever saw, his team being four yoke of
oxen that would average 1000 each, and
which always excited the admiration
of the people of the community.
These were scrubs. pure and simple.
but no finer beef was ever seen in this
or any other state. and buyers of cat
tie came from distant cities and towns
ito buy them. Charles Ehrman, then of
Vicksburg, now of Jackson, has bought
scores of these big steers from Silas
Tucker. paying on one occasion $3.50
cash for three animals, and the people
of Vicksburg never saw finer beef.
These three steers, taken rigid out of
the yoke, weighed more than 1000
each This was not an isolated case.
Mr.. Tucker had just such steers for
sale every year-disposing of the big
gest and Oldest year by year but al
ways keeping quite a number on hand.
1t may be that If Mr. Tucker had
had a bull of the beef breeds he would
have raised still heavier stock at a
younger age--but the fact remains that
he made the meat just because he at
tended to his stock and gave them an
abundance of things good for steers
to eat This happened 80 or 40 years
ago, but there are any number of peo-
pie about Brandon who will verify this
statement. So Will Mr.. Ehrman.
