Plan to Begu, Work on
Y.MC.A. Building Soon

With $4,000 secured in subscrip-
tions to the fund of $4,000 required
for a model Y. NJ. c. A. building, it
seems that there should be but little
trouble to secure the additional funds
resuired and there will not be, provid-
ed those men of means in the city who
have been waiting to see whether or
not the movement was going to sue
ceed or for some other reason have
delayed in subscribing the amount
which their ability to give lays as an
imperative duty upon their hearts and
consciences.
The prime movers in this much and
long needed institution are young men,
every one of whom has had opportuni-
ty to know the value of Y. NJ. C. A.
in keeping young men and youths
away from the debasing influences of
life, and helping them to grow into
strong manhood with high ideals and
clean practices. This knowledge, add
ed to the fact that there is such a
large number of young men and boys
here who, without some such influence
as Y. NJ. c. A. to help them, are more
than apt to form habits that break
down character and vitiate manhood,
has served to stimulate the enthusiasm

j. s. MAY ABROGATE
ENGLISH TREATIES
SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN AIMS A
BLOW AT EXISTING DOCUMENTS.
GREAT BRITAIN IS GRASPING
IF Great Britain Is to Protest Our Canal
Legislation Step by Step, We Should
Annul All Agreements on
Which She Protests"

Washington.-The senate of the
United States will be asked by joint
resolution to abrogate the Hay-Paunce-
fote end the ayton-Bulwer treaties.
The measure will be introduced by Sem
ator Chamberlain of Oregon, with the
full knowledge at least of the leaders
of the senate committee on inter-oceanic
canals. The chairman of the committee
is Senator James O'Gorman of New
York.
The treaties in question are the agree
ments under which Great Britain claims
to enjoy the right of voice in the ad-
ministration and management of the
Panama canal. They furnish the only
basis upon which the protest is justified
against the clause exempting American
eoastwise vessels from the payment of
tolls.
s'If Great Britain is to protest step by
step against our canal legislation" said
Senator Chamberlain, .'then we may as
well go at once to the agreement upon
which she bases her protests and nullify
them
In further analysis of the resolu-
tion Senator Chamberlain asserted
without qualification that the British
protest and the bill now before the SEN
ate introduced by Senator Smoot for
the repeal of the exemption affecting
American ceastwise ships We're fostered
by Anglomaniacs fighting the cause of
England.
He further charged that the protest
is backed by the Canadian trunk lines
which have the support Of the American
trsnscontinertal railroa1 !, It IS fur
ther argued that The tressiy should be
annulIed because it circumvents the
power given congress by the constitu-
tion to regulate interstate and foreign
commerce.

1t Is Understood at Washington That

vent Japanese from acquiring title to

worded as to prohibit any alien from

cept upon a declaration of his inten-
tion TO become a citizen, was passed
by the lower house Of the Legislature
by a vote of go to Is. After two hours
had been spent in debating proposed
amendments, the bill went to roll
call without a word Of argument.
The measure was DATED by sub
committee of the Judiciary committee
as substitute for bills previously in

vided that saliens ineligible to citizen

mittee, however, proceeded on the the
ory that such statute might be held
in violation of the treaty rights of

measure to include all aliens who had
not declared their intention of becom-
ing citizens.
In order not to embarrass foreign
corporations, the committee did make
the corporation clause CT the bill APP

SUFFRAG|STS GATHER
FOR CONVENTION
NUMBER OF WELL-KN0WN MISSIS-
SIPPI CLUB WOMEN.
Cause of Universal Woman Suffrage Has
Acquired Great Strength in Missis-
sippi During the Past Two
Years.

Jackson.-Before large and interest
ing gathering of men and women, but
mostly women, the opening exercises
of the ninth annual convention of the
Mississippi Woman Suffrage Association
were held in the senate chamber. 1t
was program IN which music, vocal
and instrumental, intermingled with the
kdulcet notes of women's voices in ora
torical play. The scene was inspiring
and effective, with not discordant note
from first to last. The suffragette colors,
in the form of @Votes for Women pen
mons, were conspicuous on all sides,
mingled with floral decorations.
On the platform were Mrs. Royden
Douglass of New Orleans, ex-president of
the Era Club of Louisiana, as the spe-
cial guest of honor of the Mississippi
association; Mrs. Lily Wilkinson Thelp-
son, president; Mrs. Nellie Nugent Som
erville, ex-president; Mrs. Ella Biggs,
corresponding secretary; Mrs. Fannie
Clark, vice-president; Mrs. E. I. Ed
monds, president Of the Jackson Equity
League, and Mayor S. J. Taylor OF Jack
son.
The proceedings began with the sing
inc Of aAmerica," led by a specially
chosen choir, the entire assembly joining
heartily in the rendition. The invoca-
ton was offered by Rev. J. d. Morse,
pastor Of the Capitol Street Methodist
hereAl, afb1r - sa a prog an
was taken up.
The only man participating in the ex-
ercises other than Pastor Morse was
Mayor Swep ]. Taylor of Jackson, who
extended a welcome greeting to the vis-
iting delegates. Mr.. Taylor declared that
he would welcome the day when "the
women of our state get the ballot
and as Mississippi was the first state
in the Union to admit women to own
property in her own right, it ought not
to be far behind in giving her the right
to exercise her vote.
That the cause of universal woman
suffrage in Mississippi has grown might
lily during the past two years or SO Is
demonstrated by the interest manifested
in this gathering, and by the number OF
recruits who have signifed their sympa-
thy with the movement. Five or six
years ago, when suffragist convention
was held here, the meetings were ac-
commodated in hotel parlor. This
time it required legislative assembly
hall to accommodate the delegates and
their sympathetic friends who are still
hanging on the cliffs of uncertainty,
awaiting the time when they, too, shall
give in their adherence.

GULF 3 SHIP ISLAND
RAILWAY HAMPERED
BRIDGE OVER PEARL RIVER, NEAR
JACKSON, BURNS.
Trestle Caught Fire About 8 O'Clock
Wednesday Afternoon and Dry
Creosote Timbers Were an
Easy Prey to Flames.

JaeksoR.-Due to the almost total de-
struction of the trestle over the Gulf
d Ship Island railroad over Pearl river,
two miles south of here, all traffic over
the line has been considerably inter
rupted by the necessity for transferring
across the gap.
The bridge was discovered to be burn
ing about o'clock in the afternoon,
and had made such headway that be-
fore the progress of the fire could be
checked more than half of the dry and
seasoned creosoted timbers had been
either burned outright or weakened.
The southbound passenger train due to
leave at 4 PM was held on the north
side of the bridge, transfer having been
necessary, and al other trains were
similarly delayed.
A gang of bridge builders has been put
to work, and it is hoped to have the
break repaired soon. According to rail
road officials, the fire started by the
dropping of live cinders into the dry
grass in the vicinity, which spread to
Che framework, which easily caught.
