7. ?. BARR IS new
POLICE Chief
At JACKSON I
HAS LONG BEEN PROMINENTLY
IDENTIFIED WITH REFORM
MOVEMENTS.
Special to The NeioS.

Special to The Nel0S.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 22.-Lively
scenes were enacted around the city
hall this morning, with one crowd
moving out and another moving in.
Thenew subordinate officials chosen
by the municipal commission Tuesday
assumed their duties, and the exchange
of administration in the various de-
partments was accomplished without
a hitch.
The commission evidently acted on
the theory that new brooms sweep
clean" more changes having been
made than the public expected, and
several of the removals occasioned
some surprise.
The new officials are elected for a
term of one year only, although the
tenure of the commission is for a pc
riod Of two years. 1t is furthermore
provided that they may be summarily
removed at the will of the commits
sion.
The declared policy of economy was
manifested by abolishing several Of
fices, and consolidated others, the to-
tai saving on the salary list being es-
timated at $4,000.
The principal surprise embodied in
che new slate was the appointment of
Thomas P. Barr as chief Of police, sue
ceeding Claude B. Allen, While it was
generally believed that Chief Allen
would be removed, it was not known
outside OF the commissioners office,
prior to Mondays meeting, that Mr..
Barr was slated for the ha II Of the
department. The new police chief has
been prominently identified with
various reform movements in Jack
son for the past twenty years,
is an ardent prohibitionist, a man
of strong convictions, and it is
expected that he will at once launch
a crusade to give the cai.iral city
thorough moral cleaning, with the war
espt cially vigorous against blind tig-
ers

If the digestive organs are weak

raised this grade to 70, the amount

made this change at the request of an
other member, DR.. w. w. Hail. who
stated that he knew this man, that
he was good fellow and he wanted
him to get through or words to that
effect. This action, of course, precipi.

and carried that all applicants who had

are half plant, half animal. They are
wonderful things glued to the rock,

New York, April Bone year ago
today, in the cold, gray dawn of the
morning of April 10, the White Star
liner Titanic, the largest vessel in the
world. foundered in mid-ocean after
striking an iceberg. More than fif-
teen hundred lives were lost in the
disaster, which was the greatest Of
its kind in the worlds history.
The Titanic was bound for New
York when she met her fate, and a
large number of New Workers were
among the victims of the disaster.
The memory OF these victims was
honored today in impressive memo

The SHOW MIGHT
NOT HAVE Been
HERE
HAD MISS GRACE RUSSELL BEEN
KILLED IN FALLING AERO
PLANE

When Miss Grace NJ. Russell. who
will be at the Dcncan opera house
Thursday. Friday and Saturday April
IL, IS and 10. was in New York last
summer, she met Graeme White, the
noted English wizard Of the air.
Mr.. White invited her to take a
ride in his flying machine, assuring
her he had often taken lady passen-
gers with him in his aerial flights.
Miss Russell had often wanted to fly
in one of these frail craft but when
the chance was finally put up to her
point blank she hesitated and became
frightened. Mr.. White said there
would be no danger as his machine
was perfectly safe; so after many
questions and fears. she accepted the
invitation.
White bundled his fair passenger
in furs.
What are all these winter clothes
for? This is hot July day. You're
not going to take me to the north pole
are you? Let me get out" As she
started to climb out of the machine
White laughed. No, not-not to the
north pole-but it gets cold as you
go up. Put those wraps on and you'll
feel comfortable"
"Will I get my feet frostbftten %
asked Miss usseH.
Not if you are wrapped good and
wram," said White.
Finally. after muhe coaxing and per
suasiOn, White put his passenger in
the machine, the mechanics guided
the craft along the ground few feet
and White gently lifted the craft and
began to ascend. After making a
couple of circles, dips and glides. a
short distance up, White adjusted the
planes and they scared up and up and
up, circling all the while and getting
farther and farther away from terra
fima. When they had gone some 1000
feet high, White started to descend.
and then-horrorsi-the machine was
caught in hole" in the air White
lost control Of the lever and they
dashed straight downward with the
velocity of cannon ball. Fifty thou
sand people were at the fair grounds
and were frantic at this terrible sight.
Men became wild, women tainted and
children screamed. The machine
came down over their heads, nearer
and nearer, faster and faster! Every
body groaned and hid their heads
waiting for the awful crash that would
tell the fearful catastrophe. But bv
one lucky chance in a thousand.
White got control of the machine 800
feet from the ground, steered it out
of the fatal hole" and landed his
half dead passenger on the ground
safe and sound.
Miss Russell and White were both
nearly suffocated and overcome by
the now frantic crowd, who pulled them
out of the machine bodily and carried
them on their shoulders amid proIong-
ed cheers, applause and congratula-
tions.
Miss Russell says this terrifying
drop through the air is beyond human
description and she has taken her
first and last ride among the clouds.
She says: Never again"

gagement will be, entire lower floor,
