Wilson Writes Many
Letters to Children
By Associated Press

Pass Christian, Miss. Jan. 9.
Though deeply absorbed for most part
in affairs of state, President Wilson
has availed himself of leisure moments
during his vacation here to answer
scores Of oddly-written letters from
children in this vicinity. 1t is one of
the many things which the President
would like to do at Washington, for
he enjoys reading the letters of chill
dren. but he finds 1t impossible at the
White House because of pressure of
important business.
None of the letters is made public.
for the President always defers that
to the recipient. But as the receipt
of letter from the President of the
United States is not an every day oc-
currence in the hamlets and towns
along the gulf coast, information about
them has leaked out in various ways.
Master Cecil Brown, of Mississippi
City, has two letters from the Presi-
dent, more than any of the other
youngsters The boy presented candy
and flowers to the President.

Hold Special Exhibit
of "White Slave" Pictures

More than a hundred invitations
were sent out to-day from the Majestic
Theater to clergymen, newspaper men,
city officials and others asking them
to attend private exhibition of the
films. THE Inside of the White Slave
Traffic"
These films will be shown four times
daily at the Majestic Theater all next
week. and in order to allay any sus-
plcion that might now exist over the
propriety of showing these pictures to
the public this special performance
will be given
1t has been deemed wise to prevent
children under 16 years of age from
witnessing the films. On the other
hand, persons over that age have been
urged to see the pictures and learn
the lesson they teach.

White Slavery a Myth
Declares Col. Hutchison

Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison, chief
of police. will take no action for or
against the production of the white
Slave" pictures in this city next week.
The Colonel is not a strong believer
in white slave stories. He said this
morning: white slavery is all a
myth. In ninety-nine cases out OF a
hundred, girls pictured as white
slaves lead the lives they do because
they like that sort of life Taking
one inmate of a disorderly house
from this State to another, or from
one county to another is, according
to the Federal law, white slavery,
but the majority of alleged white
slaves are willing victims. In all my
experience | have never found one
case where girl was being held
against her will Most pictures show
ing girls being taken by force are
fakes, and should be prohibited by
ordinance.

MOVING PICTURE
TO Be MADE HERE
Birmingham People Will Be
Actors-Indirectly to
Advertise City

o. w. Lamb of the Paragon Feature
Film company arrived in Birmingham
yesterday from New Orleans and immedi-
ately went into session with the adver-
tising committee of the Chamber of Com
merce. Secretary Radcliffe later an
nounced that Birmingham is to have a
moving picture play made by Biyming-
ham people and with a decidedly Bir-
mingham setting. Mr. Lamb, acting for
his company is here. for the purpose of
completing details
The idea is to make a picture of Br-
mingham. Not one of the ordinary, old
style moving pictures Of cities, but a
real moving picture, one with action in 1t,
and a plot. Birmingham people will be
selected as the actors and the setting
will be such as to bring out the talking
points of Birmingham.
The film thus made will be released to
26 photo-play houses served by the Para
gon people, after making weeks run in
Birmingham. When 1t has completed its
tour. the film will become the property
of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce
without cost.
This morning at 10 O'Clock there will
be a meeting at the Chamber of Com
merce to complete the plans. A cast will
be selected and a scenario prepared and
the ilm-makers will begin their work
al the earliest possible moment.

SOLICITING FUNDS

PROHIBITED LAW
Little Known Feature of
State Primary Law
Passed in 1911 Comes
to Light

In eurbstone political meeting on
one of the prominent corners yesterday
1t was mentioned that the present state
primary law passed In 1911 forbids
soliciting of funds or any'kind of con
trihution from candidate for office.
None of those who heard the state
ment believed it and investigation
showed that there are few people who
knew of the statute
People are generally aware of the
provision which prohibits candidates
from using cabs and automobiles and
soliciting votes on election day. but
few had ever heard of the rest of the
section. Under this latter part of the
ootion it1would be unlawful for any
one to solicit political advertising from
a candidate. which, in fact. is specifi-
oally mentioned. 1t is as follows
mo person or persons or organiza-
tion either political. religious or 9TH
er kind, shall invite or solicit from any
candidate any payment of money or
other contribution during his can
didacy. This shall apply to soliciting
any candidate to purchase tickets to
any entertainment or to subscribe for
any advertising or other space i'm any
book, programme or periodical or 9TH
