Much excitement prevailed for a
while on Mobile St.. Wednesday night,

and youths, assembled at the store Of
Albert Mercy, assumed a mob like
attitude, when Simon Mercy. employ
ed as a clerk in the store, became
angry when he suddenly sat upon a
pin presumably placed point up In a
chair by one of the negroes.
Following his sudden uprising"
Mercy began to upbraid the negro
whom he believed had set the trap
for his punishment, and HIS anger
was by no means appeased when the
rabble continued to laugh at his dis
comfort.
a The situation became SO threatening

Jackson, Miss, Aug 21.-Gov. Brew
er today borrowed $4,000 from the |
Merchants Bank and Trust Company |
of Jackson, to be placed at the dis
posal of the legislative investigating
committee in accordance with letters
of authority from a majority of the
members of the legislature to secure
loan of $4,000. The note will be
payable on January 81, 1914, and will
draw interest at the rate of per cent.
In writing Chairman Anderson, of
the committee, the Governor explains
that he thought it best to borrow the
money in blocks of $5,000 and when
one loan was exhausted he would ne
gotiate another. In this connection
| he takes occasion to assure the COM
mitteemen that he is backing them,
although he believes the legislature
could have devised a more economical
plan to investigate the various Off
cials and departments of the state.
The letter to Chairman Anderson fol-
lows:
Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your
letter of recent date enclosing me in
structons signed by majority of the
legislature instructing me to berrew
$4,000 and place 1t at the disposal
of your committee, and in reply will
say that it is going to be right hard
matter to borrow this money at the
rate of interest In view of the financial
stringency at this time. But l will dc
my best on the job. l think it best to
and place this amount at your dis
posal and then await expenditure OF
this, so as to avoid as much interest
as possible, and | shall endeayor tC
place $4,000 at your disposal at as
early a date as possible.
81 want my position made perfectly
plain in this matter. want it dis
tinctly understood that l am heartily
in favor of investigating every state
officers accounts, and every state in
stitution that is supported in whole OF
, in part by the state, but 1 think this
should be done in a more economical
. way, and am constrained to believe
} that an expense of $4,000 devoted
to this is not an economical examina
tion and would not be my way of &C
l complishing the end desired. But out
: of great Difference to the wishes and
r instructions of the legislature and the
wishes of your honorable committee
/ | shall defer my own personal views
: on the subject and undertake to com
, ply with your wishes and the instruc
S tians of the Legislature"

MAYORALTY BEE BUZZlNG
in O'GORMAN'S BONNET

WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. a.
Some of the colleagues of Senator
O'Gorman believe that they have rea-
son for thinking that the New York
senator is firing of his honors and
Is casting his eye on the New York
City, Hall. New York Democrats who
take their politics from Murphy also
think they have very good reason TO
Justify the belief that the Tammany
boss does not intend to renominate
Mayor Gaynor. but Is DESTROYS of pre-
senting Senator OGorman as Tam
manys candidate to take the measure
of John Purroy Mitchell.
The New York senator is regarded
at the national capital as being on
better terms with the Tammany or
ganization than he is with the Wilson
administrations least more in sym
pathy.

FOR 3l-HOUR STRETCH

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE ma
tional capital awakened today to find
that during the thirty-one hours from
midnight Saturday to o'clock this
morning it had been a "jagless' town.
Not one arrest for drunkenness had
been made by the police in that time
and the police court dock was a lone
some sight. The new and rigid ex-
else law passed by Congress was re-
sponsible for the wave of Sabbath
purity.
Where are the prisoners?' demand
ed Police Judge Pugh when he as
cended the bench today and cast his
eye around for the usual Monday
morning array of bleary-eyed mortals
There amt none, yer honor" said
the bailiff, almost sadly. I'VE amt
got so much as a plain drunk"
The record, so far as the police
have been able to ascertain, is un-
paralleled in the annals of the de-
partment.

BANKERS OFFER M'ADOO
SUGGESTIONS ON NEW BILL
Favor Fewer Reserve Banks
and Less Note Tax.

w WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-A delega-
ton of officers of the National Citi-
zens' League for the promotion of a
sound banking system conferred with
Secretary McAdoo and Messrs. Owen
and Glass. chairmen. respectively, of
the Senate and House banking and
currency committees.
The leagues committee was COM
posed of: John w. Farwell, presi-
dent, of Chicago; John F. Rich, presi-
dent, Minnesota branch, Red Wing.

In the interviews with Mr.. McAdoo.
Mr.. Glass and Mr. owen the league :
committee made the following sug-
gestion:
That there would be much less
dif1culty in starting the system with
smaller number of federal banks
than twelve. as contemplated.
The second point considered was the
taxation of the notes The bankers
say in statement:
rms provision seems to have been
the subject of much MISUNDERSTANDING
or miSinterpretation. Our interyiey
convinced us that the spirit of the
measure is against an arbitrary tax
and that the power would not be used
except to prevent overexpansion of
note issues In the manner recommends
ed by the league. such overexpansion
to be measured by the percentages Of
gold reserve held against them.
The following changes in the re.
serve requirements of the present bill
We're suggested:
a) That the total reserve for
country banks be reduced from Is per
clude the per cent. redemption fund
against national bank notes.
Obj That the total reserve for re-
serve cities be reduced from 90 per
cent. to is per cent -
