DECISION OF LOWER COURT RE-
vERsEp-6ENNETT DENIED
STAY OF EXECUTION.
Special to The Netos.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, July 14.-The Su-
preme Court of Mississippi today de
clared the anti-fraternity law, passed
by the legislature of 1912, is constitu-
tional when it reversed decision of
chancery court holding it unconstitu-
tional. The case was that of w. H.
Waugh, prospective student, who
secured an Injunction against the
trustees of the University of Mississip-
pi from enforcing the act of the legis-
lature and requiring him to sign a
pledge to renounce allegiance to any
Greek letter Society to which he
might belong; promise not to pay dues
or have any connection with secret
Greek letter organizations while at
tending the University.
The Supreme Court today holds
that the legislature controls state in
stitutions and has authority to say
how they shall be governed. 1t further
holds that there is nothing in the act
violative of any section of the state
or federal constitutions.
The Supreme Court also overruled
the motion of ]. G. Bennett, a news
paper man in the penitentiary for
bigamy for a stay of execution until
appeal from the circuit court, from a
refusal to grant a writ of coram nobis
could be made. If granted, the mo-
tion would have meant Bennett would
stay in jail instead of the penitentiary
until the Supreme Court reviewed the
lower court records in the attempt of
Bennett to get new trial by coram
nobis proceeding.

PERiENcE ON POLICE FORCE
OF PARIS, TEXAS.
Special to The Netos.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, July 14.-Persons
who have marvelled at the sleuth-Iike
sagacity shown by Governor Brewer in
his probing of the penitentiary scandal
are perhaps unaware of the fact that
the present executive of Mississippi
was once plain clothes policeman.
When boy in his teens Gov. Brew
er went to Texas, and spent several
years at various forms of employment
In the Lone Star State. In fact, he
took any sort Of an honest job he
could get, and for a short while
served on the police force at Paris,
Tex making quite a record in expos
ing the evildoers in that community
Gov. Brewers best equipment for
his probing of prison affairs, however,
was gained while serving as district
attorney in the eleventh district. Dur
ing that tenure he was terror to the
lawless element, and established the
record Of leading all other district at
torneys in the state in number con-
victions secured. During the final
year of his term of office more than
half the offenders who faced him in
the various counties entered pleas of
guilty and asked for the mercy of the
Court rather than risk trial and al.
most certain conviction.
While Gov. Brewer has had the ser.
vices of skilled detectives and ac-
countants throughout the present in
vestigation, he has at all times been
the general in command, personally
directing all features of the work,
making numerous quiet and myste-
rious trips in quest of evidence, and
burning great deal of midnight oil
going over accounts and testimony
with his corps OF assistants. 1t is no
uncommon sight to see the lights burn.
ing In the executive mansion library
at two o'clock in the morning, and
the ubiquitous reporter who strolls in
side to find out what is going on be,
holds the Governor and his sleuths in
earnest conference.
The mental and physical strain in
volved in the work has been terrific
but thus far Gov. Brewer has stood
the ordeal exceedingly well. He rare

Jackson, Miss, July 14.-It looks

in the field for the place, Hugh v.
Wall, of Summit, and Marion w. Riley,
