Discharge Was Unfair

Judge Lane Says Commissions Action
Is Not a Personal Reflection. is
Rather Because of Woods
Temperament

II was reported yesterday that a
mass meeting might be held within
the next day or so to reveal the real
causes for the discharge of Recorder
Wood" Friends of the young attorney
had the matter under advisement last
night but reached no conclusion, they
said.
Recorder Jelks II. Cabaniss will for
mally take the bench this morning, lie
took the oath of office yesterday art
ernoon, the oath being administered
by Commissioner \. o. Lane, in charge
of the recorders court.
Alvin Douglass, well known young
attorney, who has been acting as
substitute recorder for some time, pre-
sided over the court yesterday.
1t developed yesterday that at the
instance of Commissioners Lane and
Weatherly former Recorder Wood had
been asked to resign several times on
the grounds that he was the cause of
dissension both in the commission and
among the citizenship. This Recorder
Wood refused to do. 1t is known that
Mr.. Weatherly had the recorder in con-
ference with him twice the first of the
week and urged upon him to resign.
Judge Lane also conferred with him
and asked his resignation.
1t was after this refusal to resign on
the part of Mr.. Wood that the commits
sion removed him by unanimous vote
and elected Mr.. Cabaniss as his sue

Attorney White Gibson, a friend of
Mr. Wood, is one of the leaders in the
to hold a mass meeting.
"The matter is now under advise
ment," stated Mr.. Gibson last night.
I'VE are not going to do anything rash
or indiscreet however. We will take
our time to think it over and then pro-
ceed along the line we think best.
1--WE do think, however, that some
means should be used to inform the
public of the true reason for Mr.. Wood S
dismissal. | have two good friends on
the city commission but | think we
ernment and do it quick They have
made more blunders down there, |
think, than is good for the city.
In our movement to call mass
we want it understood that we
have nothing against Mr.. Cabaniss. Ha
is fine young man and We are not
fighting him. Our only purpose is TO
secure some measure of justice for Mr..
Wood, whom we consider a wronged
man. man who has been put in an
unjust and unfavorable light"
Friends of Mr. Wood state that If
the mass meeting is called it will be
either tonight or tomorrow night
Judge Lane stated yesterday that any
action which had been taken should
not be construed as a personal re :
Election on Mr. Wood. Mr.. Lane stated
he knew Mr.. Wood to be smart.
able and Industrious young man, but
that he possessed certain characteristics
and temperament that unified him for
the position which he had held

Wood Issues Statement

Mr.. Wood issued lengthy statement
yesterday defending himself He at
tackled personally President EXum and
dealt rather harshly with the commits
sion at large. He alleged that his dis
charge was unfair that he had been
given no opportunity to defend him

things, his action in a case in which a
well known citizen of the city was fined
and imprisoned and his conduct dur
ing the recent building trades strike.

II Hans Schmidt, slayer of Anna Au-
muller. and DR.. Ernest A. Muret made
any counterfeit money, it was not made
from the plate seized by the Secret
Service operatives in their investiga-
fion. Acting Chief Moran today said
that the Secret Service investigation
thus far had not brought to light any
completed plates. Mr. Moran holds to
the belief that Schmidt and Muret had
not passed beyond the experimental
stage in counterfeiting, although he ad-
mitted that reports from operatives on
the ground show that the description
of the two men tallies with that of men
who are wanted for passing counterfeit

Can Treble Corn Yield on
Land, Says Prof. Pate.

The farmers of Mississippi are not
securing crops from the soil that they
might secure by 300 per cent.
The pine lands OF South Mississippi
can be handled so as to increase the
yield Of corn from IS bushels per acre
10 As bushels per acre within three years.
The size Of the crop depends upon
the amount OF plant food in the soil.
The crying need Of the soil in this
section Of the state Is humus, and this
can be placed there by the planting OF
leguminous crops.
The boys Of the Boys Corn Clubs
Of the state last year raised an average
OF SO bushe OF corn to the acre. The
average for the state was ls bushels
pur acre.
Deep plowing means the heconseryation
Of the moister in the soil and the tiding
over OF droughts.
Eighty-seyen per cent OF the people
OF Mississippi are engaged in agricul-
ture. Thirteen per cent are in other
occupations.
Until recently education has prog.
ressed on the theory that il was neces-
sary to education only the thirteen per
cent In the towns.

that gives a gallon of milk day as Il
