SUPREME COURT KILLS
SECRET FRATERN|T|ES
VALIDITY OF THE ACT PROHIBIT
ING THEM is UPHELD.
Hon. ]. R. Mcdowell. Representing Fra
ternity Men, Gives Notice That Lit
igation Will Be Taken to Su-
preme Court Of U. S.

Jackson.-There were only two mem
bers of the supreme court present at the
adjournment session. Quite a number
of cases were handed down by the court,
the most important being the decision
in the litigation instituted to test the
validity and constitutionalfty of the
act of 1912 abolishing Greek letter fra
ternities. organizations and sororities a.
the University OF Mississippi, or other
educational institutions supported IN
whole or in part by the state. The ef-
feet OF this decision was 10 reverse the
decision OF Special Chancellor 7. l..
Lamb. who overruled the demurrer to
the bill filed by attorneys for J. P.
Waugh. a student. who elected to test
the act, declaring the act unconstitution-
al, in violation OF the 1ith amendment
to the constitution OF the United States.
The decree in the case was preparei
by Judge Robert B. Msyes, who was dcs-
ignated as special justice in place OF JUS
tice Reed, who had excused himself. In
the absence OF Judge Mayes from the
city, the case was handed down by Chief
Justice Smith. The opinion sustains the
&C, generally, and leaves the status quo
as existing since the new law went into
effect unchanged.
The fight is not ended, however, as
Hon. J. R. Mcdowell, representing the
fraternity element, directly after the
adjournment of court made formal re-
quest for a writ of error to the supreme
court OF the United States, which means
a stay of execution until such time as
i; may be gotten before the high court
OF the land.

FARMERS ADVISED.
Agricultural Experts Address Planters In
and Around Kosciusko.

Kosciusko.-As announced, Messrs. c.
NJ. Brumfield, J.. w. Willis and B. j.
Moore addressed the people at the court
house in this city on the boil weevil and
how to handle him, as well as other
agricultural problems that are o con-
fronting the farmers of this county.
These men are all men of experience
and special training in their several
lines. Mr.. Brumfield is the agricultural
agent of the Illinois Central Railroad
Company, and has supervision of their
experimental work in this section of Mis-
sissippi. Mr.. Willis is district agricul-
turalist for the Northern District OF Mis-
sissippi, under the employ of the federal
government. Mr.. Moore is the local agri-
cultural agent of the government. Their
addresses were replete with sound ad-
| vice as to how to make cotton despite
the boil weevil; the proper preparation,
cultivation and fertilization of the lands,
and il needed will be of inestimable value
to the farmers of the South. There was
present on this occasion about 200 white
farmers and 100 colored, all of whom
were thoroughly interested and aroused
over the present situation here, and eager
to learn anything that would aid them il
solving their agricultural problems.

DAVIS EMbEzzLEMENT
CASE IS DROPPED
DOUBT AROSE in GOVERNORS MIND
AS TO HIS GUILT.
Efforts Are Being Made for Entire Board
to Quit, Col. Taylor Being IncaPae-
itated and Col. Montgomery
Status Being Affected.

J~ackson.-The trial in the case of the
state against A. c. Davis, formerly com-
missary clerk and b~ookkeeper at the
state penitentiary farm At Parchman, on
the charge of embezzlement Of part OF
the proceeds Of . lot of cotton seed
shipped to Glen Allen Oil Mills in April,
1911, from ~Parchman, was brought to
an abrupt termination. On motion Of the
state the prosecution was dropped and
the jury instructed to find a verdict for
the d~efenadnt.
The position of the prosecuting counsel
was embodied in the following address Of
District Attorney Howie to Judge Henry:
May it please the court, in the case
we want to ask for a jury and verdict for
the defendant. | want to state the rea-
son for that. Inasmuch as during the
noon recess certain matters have come
to the attention of the governor, OF which
he has informed the prosecuting attor-
news, that have caused q doubt, not only
in the mind Of the governor, but in the
minds of the prosecuting attorneys ~
well, as to the guilt Of this defendant,
and the governor feels, and We feel, that
it would be better for ten guilty men or
100 to escape than for one innocent man
to be convicted, we feel As this doubt il
brought upon our minds we cannot 60
further with this prosecution because OF
doubt of the guilt Of this defendant.
We therefore ask the jury and verdict
he entered in this case and that a cessat
be entered in the other cases against
him."
Judge Henry, replying, declared that
the court was thoroughly in accord with
the district attorney, and felt that Gov.
Brewer should be congratulated on the
stand he had taken. He then gave the
instruction asked for, and = verdict OF
acquittal was therefore reported.
Mr.. Davis was roundly congratulated,
and no one was quicker to extend these
congratulations han the prosecuting
counsel and the court itself. There is no
likelihood that any of the other four
cases involving him will be called at ALL
There is a well grounded surmise that
it was in connection with the plan
sprung by friends of Smith to induce the
governor to accept his resignation in ad-
vance of the judicial order which will
p~erforce vacate the office, which is yet
to be promulgated. 1t is understood
that it is not the intention OF the gov
ernor to interfere with the p~rerOgative
and duty OF the court in this case, or
