DIPPING KILLS CATTLE.
One Hundred Head Die After Under
going Process.

Natchez.-Approximately 100 head Of
900-odd cattle brought to Natchez sew
eral days ago to restock Adams county
farms have died since,the work of dip
ping them has been In progress under
the supervision of the governmental
authorities at the plant Of the Missis-
sippi Packing company. 1t Is explained
that the deaths have resulted both from
internal poisoning and from toxic con-
ditions resulting from the caking Of
the dipping mixture on the animals
hides, which closes the pores and
causes a fatal disease, The internal
poisoning is said to result from the
habit Of the animals of eating grass
upon which the mixture has dripped
from their bodies. These cattle were
bought in Florida by j. N. Carpenter
for distribution among prospective
producers Of live stock for conversion
into beef at the packing plant.

Committee Named.

Chief Justice Sidney Smith, presi-
dent Of the Mississippi State Bar asso-
citation, appointed a committee of five
members of the bar association to
give publicity to the proposition to
elect six members to the supreme
three supreme court constitutional
amendments when they are voted on
at a special election to be held on Nov.
4, next. The committee was appointed
In accordance with the resolution
adopted at the recent convention In
Gulfport, and which was offered by
Clayton d. Potter of Jackson.
Judge Smith appointed the follow
ing as members of the committee:
Marcellus Green Of Jackson, chair
man; H. V. Watkins Of Jackson, d. w.
Houston of Aberdeen, d. C. Bramlette,
Jr., of Woodville, Clayton d. Potter
Of Jackson.
At the convention of the bar asso-
citation in 1913 a committee was ap-
pointed to go before the Legislature
and urge a constitutional amendment
that the supreme court membership
be increased from three to seven, to
sit In two divisions. When the legis-
lature met the committee was very
active, and a special committee also
served. After repeated conferences 1t
was decided to recommend that the
number of supreme court judges be
Increased to six, to sit In two divis-
ions. A bill providing that the ques-
tions be submitted to the people then
was passed by the lawmakers.
At the Gulfport convention of the
bar association some members criti-
cised the proposition, but the Potter
resolution asking for a special com
mittee to give publicity to the matter,
and urge the people to support the
amendments, was adopted almost
unanimously.
The members of the special com
mittee will meet at an early date 1
formulate plans for their publicity
campaign.

ROBERT AND FRED EDWARDS
ARE SHOT AS THEY ATTEMPT
TO ENTER TENT.
MOTHER OF DEAD MEN ILL.,
Grady Sullivan, Blacksmith, Opens
Fire With Shotgun, Following .
Quarrel in Which His Vic
tins Cursed Him.

Northumberland and Fred Ed
wards, brothers, the latter killed in
~stantly, were shot by Grady Sullivan,
a blacksmith, at a railroad construc-
ton camp on the outskirts of the city,
when they attempted to enter his tent.
Sullivan has surrendered to the au-
thorities.
Sullivan, it is said, had gone to bed
in his tent at the camp Of the railroad
gang. The two Edwards boys came to
his tent, cursed and abused him. Sui
Ivan told them to 60 away and leave
him alone and not to come in his tent.
The two Edwards, it is said, left his
tent, but in a short while returned
and renewed the alteration. They
then tried to go into the tent where
Sullivan was, and Sullivan, who was
in bed, fired twice with a shotgun.
One load from the shotgun struck
Fred Edwards in the pit Of the stom-
ach, tearing a great hole. He walked
a few steps and died. Robert Edwards
was shot in the right chest, the load
penetrating the cavity, exposing the
right lung and inflicting a mortal
wound.
Mrs. Edwards, mother Of the two
boys, has been confined In the hos
pital for some time, and is said to be
in a critical condition.

New Aspect Of Measure.

The declaration Of Judge Robert
Mayes, former chief justice Of the SUI
preme court, and president of the Mis-
sissippi Bar association, that the stat
ute enacted at the recent legislative
session providing for the recall Of mu-
nicipal officials is unconstitutional,
puts a new phase on the movement
launched In this city for the recall OF
Mayor S. j. Taylor.
At the time Of signing the recall
bill, Gov. Brewer expressed grave
doubts as to its constitutionality. In
fact, two years ago he vetoed a some
what similar bill, applicable to the
statute providing for the commission
form of government. At the recent
session, however, the measure passed
both houses by such a large vote that
the governor decided to give It the
benefit of the doubt.
The first step toward the recall of
Mayor Taylor has been taken, and 1t
is expected that the formal filing OF
the petition will take place at the reg
ular meeting Of the municipal commits
sion. Whether or not legal proceed
ings will be instituted to prevent a
fight at the polls remains to be seen.
Mayor Taylor expresses a willingness
to waive all questions Of legality, de-
claring that he is quite willing to al
low the voters to pass judgment Cd
the acts of his administration.

Hines Docket Heavy.

Judge Henry G. Niles Of the United
States district court In Mississippi, is
here for the May term Of court for
the Jackson division Of the southern
district. In addition to the grand jury
session. which will be impaneled the
first thing on converting, there is con
siderable work awaiting the court on
the civil side of the docket, both law
and equity, some sixty or seventy
cases. Quite a number of these are
cases of long standing, growing out
Of land and timber transactions, to-
gether with corporation suits, and II
all were gone into at a single sitting
of the court there would be sufficient
business to hold the court in session
for several weeks.
A feature of interest which will at
tend this session is the fact that it
will be the first term of court in the
southern district since Capt. John G.,
eastman, the new marshal for the
district, assumed the duties of his Of
flee. No doubt Is felt that Capt. Cash.
man will measure fully up to the re.
sponsibilites Of his position, and that
his corps of deputies will be equal to
the routine duties incident to the car
rying on of the court.
There will be also considerable Grim.
inal business for handling, and a mum.
Der of cases to be referred to the
grand jury for investigation. These
include the case Of Carrier William
Reed, charged with his care, and OF
Joe Wong, Chinaman, who is charged
with violating the new federal statute
regulating traffic in opium.
1t is quite probable that there will
be sufficient business ready to keep
the court in session for two or thres
weeks at least.

REM ASSESSMENT LEVIED BY
COMMISSION IN 1918.
PRIVILEGE TAX is VOID
judges Decide That State Has No
Right to Collect Tax of $25 Per
Mile-The Court Issues an
Injunction.
Jackson.

In the United States district court
Judges Niles, Grubb and Shelby rem.
dered a decision holding that the ad
valorem assessment Of the Illinois
Central and Yazoo 4 Mississippi Val
ley railway companies, as levied by
the Mississippi railroad commission
for 1913, is not excessive, and the two
common carriers must pay taxes or
the assessment basis fixed by the com.
mission.
The property Of the two roads was
assessed for 1913 at $1,000, 900 more
than for the previous year, the Y. &
M. V. being increased 81, 800, 900 and
the Illinois Central $3,600,000
In the same opinion the court holds
that the privilege tax assessed against
the two railways, amounting to $25 per
mile, Is unconstitutional and void,
being a burden laid on interstate COM
merce. The court issues an injunc.
tion restraining the collection of this
privilege tax, but refuses to grant an
Injunction against the ad valorem az
sessment.
Common carriers in Mississippi do.
ing an interstate business have a to-
tai mileage Of about four thousand.
The federal decree, II sustained by
the United States supreme court, will
deprive the state of revenue amount
ing to about 500, 900 per annum.
The opinion of the court, as handed
down by Judge Niles, holds that the
legal principles commended for by the
railroad company are correct.
