Charge, Asks Pardon

w. s. Huff, who represented Lump
KIN County in the Legislature in 1907
and 1908, is seeking a pardon from
the penitentiary, where he is serving
two years Tor larceny after trust.
Governor Slaton. who was a col
league of Huff in the House, will have
the plea for executive clemency be-
fore him soon. The Prison Commits
sion has the petition under consider
alton. Huff has served one year and
the judge who sentenced him has
written to Governor Slaton saying he
believes the man deserves a par
don.
Huff became involved in financial
difhculties a few years ago when sew
eral of his investments went wrong
The accusations against him came
as the result of his sale of dredge
boat for other persons. 1t was charg-
ed he converted the money to his own
use.

ferrous IS. T. Payer" whose circular
letter to members of the Mississippi
Legislature this week attacked the
administration of President Whitfield
and the conduct of the girl students
of the Industrial Institute and Col
lege, a State school in this city. Burns
detectives have been employed to find
the letter writer.
The $40 girl students have drafted
a communication to the Legislature
denying the charges, denouncing the
writer OF the letter and memorializing
the assembly to investigate the af-
fair, with a view to Furnishing the
writer and removing the stain from
the college and themselves.
The entire city is aroused over the
affair and prominent business men
are Indignantly demanding that the
Legislature completely probe the af-
fair and vindicate the good name that
the college and students have hereto
fore borne. II is probable that a dele
cation of business men will go to
Jackson and take up in person with
leaders of the General Assembly the
matter Of a speedy and full investi-
cation.

BIDS
FAREWELL To
TOWNFOLK
Gives Farewell Reception to Pass
Christian Residents-Not to
Stop in Atlanta.

PASS CHRISTIAN, MISS, Jan. 10.
The proudest hour in the history of
this little Southern village came to-
day when President and Mrs. Wilson
rendered a farewell reception to the
townspeople at the Winter White
House." at Beaulieu. This was the
only distinctive social affair of the
Presidents vacation. The Presiden-
tial party viii leave for Washington
tomorrow night.
Mayor Saucer, who had charge Of
all the arrangements on the part Of
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-01-10

the toWpfolk, kept the plans secret
until the last minute, so that there
would not be an influx of outsiders.
The affair was arranged entirely for
the residents of the home village,
and only natives" were invited.
Biloxi, Gulfport and other nearby
towns tried in vain to tempt Presi-
dent Wilson with their hospitality.
Citizens of Atlanta sent telegram
to President Wilson to-day asking
him to larry for brief time in that
city on his way north, but to this,
as we'll as to all other such invi-
tations, the President replied that he
wishes to get to Washington at the
earliest possible moment OH account
of important affairs in the National
Capital demanding his attention.
From the emphasis President Will
son has laid upon the demands which
the trust question" is making upon
his attention it is assumed that the
Executive has either completed his
anti trust message or is at work upon
the final draft, and that 1t probably
will be in the hands of the printer by
Tuesday. He is expected to deliver 1t
to Congress some time next week.
The President refused to verify re-
ports that he would shortly follow his
anti-t trust message with another deal
ing with the proposed Alaskan Rail
road or on national conservation.

TO SHOW PHILIPPINE HATS.
Interesting Exhibit Mt National
Museum VIII Open shortly.


Among the household industries of the
Philippines, that of hat-making has in
recent years become a leading one. In
1910 $50 hats were exported, 1SS,1SO OF
them coming to the United States. These
figures indicate merely a small fraction
of the possible growth which the hat in
dustry may assume when the islands
are able to supply an increased demand.
The National Museum is fortunate In
having a good collection of these native
hats, the manufacture Of which is well
described in a publication OF the bureau
of education, Manila, by Hugo H. Mil
Ter. Among the different styles Of hats
are some made of fbrous material OBJ
tanned from the burr palm, which for
fineness of texture surpasses the popular
Panama hats. Four different ''straws"
are obtained from the burr palm, which
is one Of the most valuable palms Of the
Philippines. in variety of useful products.
These four ''straws" are raffia, burr
straw, Ealasiao straw. and buntal straw.
OF which the production OF burr straw is
the more widespread. The last two
varieties are produced commercially in
two districts only.
These Philippine hats have won a GER
tain popularity in this country, but oddly
enough not under their true name. but
as Bangkok East Indian Panama,
or even italian straw"
The Museum collections comprise some
thirty of these hats The special Philip
pine exhibit, showing the work done in
the Philippine Islands. which Yas once
before shown in the Museum, Will again
be opened to the public in few days
