Washington, D. c., May 30.-At the

it was decided that during the latter
part of October the Board will take a
two weeks trip through the southern

cipal cities and personally meeting the
leading business forces of the southern

meeting of the Board of Directors will
be held at New Orleans, in accept
ance of the invitation of the CONNER
cial organizations of that city. Last
summer the Board of Directors took
a trip to the Pacific Coast, the ef-
fects of which were remarkable in
bringing the commercial organizations
of the far west into full understanding
Of the purpose of commercial organ
1Zat1onS in other parts or the Nation.
This is in keeping with the broad pur-
poses of the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States to bring organized
commercial effort of each part Of the
country into touch with that Of every
other part.

Jackson, Miss, May 30.-Police Of
ficials today practically abandoned the
theory that Chief Luther Humphries
who was found dead in the hallway in
the home of Louella Stevens, former
ly a resident of the redlight district
met his death by poisoning, as was at
first suspected.
The woman, who is about twenty.
four years old, was released from the
city jail without bond late yesterday
afternoon. The poison theory is still
believed by some and will not be final
ly determined until the report is re-
ceived from the state chemists who are
making an examination Of the contents
of the chiefs stomach.
The theory of the police and physi-
clans, however, is that the chief made
clandestine visit to the Stevens
home and met his death from natural
causes.
Louella Stevens, who lived with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. D. Stevens,
at No. 7S1 North West street, stoutly
denies that she knew Chief HLmph-
reys was in her home until she was
awakened by her father calling to her
mother that he heard a noise in the
lower hallway. She told the coroner's
jury that she went downstairs after
her parents had reached Humphreys
side and tried to revive him, that his
lower limbs were in the hall, while his
head and shoulders were in the sit
ting room.
Her testimony conflicts, however,
with that of her father, who claims the
alarm was sounded by his daughter,
and they went to the chief together.
Lee Phelps, a nephew of former
Lieut.. Gov. Manship, stated to Mayor
Taylor yesterday afternoon that he
saw Chief Humphreys enter the Stew
ems residence about 1880 o'clock, that
the light was shining in the hallway
at the time, but went out Immediately
after the chief went through the door.
He said he was en- route home at the
time, and saw nothing more.
Louella Stevens told the coroner's
| jury that earlier in the night D. B.
Mckee, a local merchant, had called
on her, but that he left at 9 o'clock.
Was Exemplary Officer.
The death of the police chief caused
a sensation in the capital of Mississip-
pi, where he was hooked upon as an
exemplary officer. He was made chief

Presently fate sent him a victim.
A man in rusty clothes pushed his

pressed the opinion that if the new

would have compelled the owners of
the Empress to have reconstructed
her.
Senator Lewis, who also was a del.

Ideas" he said, control individual

sible to check an idea, once it has gain
r ed foothold. You cannot quench it.
, Al idea cannot be locked up; it cannot
be confined in dungeons; cannot be
overcome save by another idea. Bad
ideas are Just as influential as good
ones and can be overcome only by
good ones. The idea of a normal col
lege was conceived some thirty years
ago by the minds of Mississippi teach
ers. and the buildings you see and the
special trained graduates whom we are
sending out are a result of that idea.
That idea will grow until fifty years
from now Mississippi will take her
rightful place among the intellectual
states of the Union.
