Want PARDON FOR
VA CONDEMNED
MURDERER
PETITION IN BEHALF OF JOHN
HOWARD, ELLlsVILLE NEGRO,
UNDER DEATH SENTENCE.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. Ex-Governor
Brewer has been petitioned to COM
mute the death sentence of John
Howard, a negro, who killed a mem
Der of his race near Ellisville several
months ago.
The death sentence Of Howard was
recently affirmed by the Supreme
Court, and date of execution fixed for
january oath, The petition for
communication is rather numerously
signed, and sets forth several reasons
why the petitioners object to an Of
fetal neok-breaking. At the lower
court trial it was shown that after
the murder Howard burned the house
in which his victim was killed, with
the evident purpose of concealing the
tragedy. This is disputed in the ap-
peal for Communication, and it is
claimed in behalf of Howard that he
did not fire until he believed that his
life was in danger, the other negro
being armed, and in proof of this
they assert that two pistols were
found in the ruins of the building
This argument was answered in the
lower court on the theory that per-
haps Howard was carrying two pistols
The case is of exceptional interest
because this is the second time with
in a year that Howard has appealed to
the Governor for clemency, and on the
former occasion he was successful.
He was sentenced in the circuit court
of Simpson county for killing a negro
woman near Mendenhall but was par
doned only a few months after being
sentenced.
The board of supervisors of Jones
county will decide during the present
week whether the hanging shall be
public or private, in event the Cover
nor refuses to commute the death
sentence.

Washington, d. c., Jan. Gone Of
the first important matters on tine
docket of the Supreme Court of the
United States, which re-convened to
day after the holiday recess, is the
appeal in the case of Charles R.
Heike, former secretary of the Amer

years ago this month Heike was in
dicted on charges of conspiring with
other employees of the American Sugar

sugar. Heike gave evidence before
the grand jury and at the trials of sew
eral of those indicted with him and
On this ground his attorneys endeav-
bred to prove him immune from pros
But after long and bitter
egal battle Heike was covicted in the
federal court in New York and SEN
enced to term in prison.

STATE HAS RIGHT TO
KILL DISEASED COWS.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 6.-Advices
were received by the state board of
health today that Judge ]. L. Buckley
of the Tenth Judicial district, issued
decision in the case of l. B. Haw-
kins VS.. DR.. NJ. j. L. Hoye and others,
involving the constitutionality of the
statute permitting the state health
board to order. the slaughter of dairy
cows infected with tuberculosis, with
out giving adequate compensation to
the owner.
The decision of Judge Buckley up
holds the constitutionality of the stat
ute, and he cites number of decisions
rendered in the courts of other states
unfolding his contention. Several
Mississippi decisions are also cited. It
is probable that an appeal to the SUI
preme court will be taken.

Delegates Are Organizing.

In many southern centers the lay.
men have organized and the pastors
have pledged their hearty cooperation
toward securing large delegations to
go to Chattanooga During the day
and night preceding the opening of
the convention there will roll into
Chattanooga special trains from all
parts OF the south and special cars
bearing delegates. For the time be-
Ing Chattanooga will be the mecca of
all Southern Baptists and those who
can not attend the convention will be
much in prayer as to It's success.
When Chattanooga entertained the
Southern Methodist laymen, success
was the result, and as soon as 1t was
announced that the Southern Baptist
laymen anticipated holding a similar
convention there, Immediately the
hearts and the pocketbooks of public
spirited citizens were opened and the
word, Come" was passed out
Chattanooga is the headquarters for
preparation activities A complete list
Of committees has been named and the
secretary Of the combined forces is the
Rev. E. e. George, Superintendent of
Baptist Missions in Chattanooga, who
SO successfully executed his duties as
executive secretary of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement campaign
there.
The convention will be character,
