REMOVING TONS OF DEBRIS
Derrick to Move the Small Boul-
ders From Outside
the Wall

With the exception of a big gap in
the neighborhood of the pumping sta
ton, the step construction of the
river front wall is now complete from
Iron alley to Maeiay street.
The granolithic walk, the finishing
touch to the front steps of Harris
burg" has been laid only to Market
street, however. The great stretch
from the proposed dock, few hun
dred feet below Walnut street to
"Hardscrabble" and from the northern
end of "Hardscrabble" to Maclay, Is
yet to be put down this Fall, if Sucker
Brothers, the contractors, fulfill their
promise to turn over a completed job
before cold weather sets in. Extreme
low water during the last few months
has afforded plenty of chance to make
headway.
Last Section of Steps Placed
The step construction north of
"Hardscrabble" was finally accom-
plished yesterday when the few small
gaps left open for draining purposes,
were closed. Pudding" as the wa
tering and tamping of the material
supporting the wall is called. has been
going ahead steadily for the last week
or ten days north of "Hardscrabble." Z"

How We Beat En-.

School Fairs In Kentucky are
getting to be popular, and Mullen
berg rightly claims the honor of be
ing the pioneer in this worthy move
mcnt. Recently the Louisville pa
pers have had numerous te egraphic
reports from various counties, re
porting attendance of from 5000 to
5000 at County School Fairs, and
the attendance commented upon as
such a great thing. We have had
three Fairs, and never less than
1000 present, that being the first
year. Last year We had a cold,
rainy day but the attendance grew
to at least 5000, and this year,
with a fine day, we had at least H.
oco or 1000 enthusiastic school
children and spectators. Mullen
berg is one of the best counties in
Kentucky. and never does things
by hall. Next seaI we aill have At
!eas; 5000. a ttsIe is prom.se
that we will have a united coUnty,
with every schc0l participating
Large prizes will be offered, and

Schmidt Found Guilty OF
Murder IN First Degree

New York, Feb. 6.-Hans Schmidt
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree for killing Anna Aumuller, a
young woman he had married through
a self-performed ceremony while act
ing as priest at st. Joseph's church.
The penalty is death in the electric
chair at Sing Sing. Schmidt will be
sentenced Wednesday.
ity, laughed bitterly when the verdict
was pronounced. He steadfastly had
declared himself guilty and had plead
ed that he be punished by death.
Later he protested against the insan-
ity defense advanced by his counsel
and last night said he would not as
sist them in any way if they prepared
an appeal.
L would rather die tonight than to-
morrow" he said. 1T is as it should
be and as wish it."
This was the second trial and the
jury was out less than five hours. At
the first trial the jury disagreed.
Alienists supplied most of the testi-
mony at both trials.
A. G.. Koelble of Schmidts counsel,
after the verdict asserted that on ac-
count of the former priests persistent
silence concerning the crime, it had
not been possible to place all facts
before the jury. He said Schmidt was
not guilty of murder but had shielded
a physician after the womans death
She was not murdered, the lawyer de-
clared If the police would display

ALLOWS father
TO KEEP Child
CHANCELLOR STEVENS RENDERS
DECISION IN BOND HAsEAs
CORPUS CASE.

Chancellor ]. Morgan Stevens has
just rendered his decision in the
habeas corpus proceedings instituted
by Mrs. Eva Bond VS.. Lawrence Bond
for the custody of their little girl, in
which he declines to take the child
from the custody of it's father and
commit it to the mother; giving as
his reasons, that it was shown by the
evidence introduced in the case, that
the father is not only morally fit and
financially able to properly care for
the child but the environment in
which he has placed her in his moth
er's home is suitable for the child's
welfare.
The chancellor also lays emphasis
ON the fact shown, that the mother
had deserted the father and that he
had repeatedly endeavored to per
suade her to return to him withou
avail.
A feature in connection with thi!
case was a pathetic letter from Mrs
Bond to the chancellor, appealing fol
the custody of her daughter and tn,
chancellor's reply in which he reminds
her of the opportunity she has of heal
ing the breach by returning to he
husband, who had offered to welcom
her back, and thereby herself Great
condition which would enable moth
er and father to mutually enjoy tn
love and companionship of the littl
girl in dispute.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 6.-Coming here
to make determined, and as they say
clean, above board and open fight,
against the guarantee of deposits fea-
ture of the Kyle banking bill, passed
in the senate, and set for the special
order in the house next Tuesday, mem
bers of the executive committee OF
the Mississippi Bankers Association
will arrive in jackson next Monday
to use their influence to have that
clause eliminated.
Members of the committee have no
hesitancy in making public their inten-
tions in this matter. They claim that
under existing conditions in Mississip-
/ pi the policy of guarantee of deposits,
as set forth in the Kyle bill, would be
ruinous to many banks and industries.
The bankers will come to Jackson
prepared to give facts and figures to
the lawmakers that they assert cannot
but convince them that the position of
the financial interests they represent
will be seriously affected and leopard
lied by the Objectionable feature of the
measure, and in consequence result
in injury to the best interests of the
state, industrially and financially.
With the banking bill on the slate
for next week the daily sessions OF
the house promise to furnish many q
thrill 1t is doubtful if the bill will
pass the house in any form before next
Friday.
Copies of the bill, as it left the sen
ate, and the amendments from the
banking committee, are now being
printed, and will be placed on the
desks of the representatives, so tha
they can more intelligently consider
the measure when it comes up.
