Germany Virtually Declares War on Russia
OF LARD
LANDS BOY IN JAIL
Aged Grandmother Declares He Has
Become kIeptomaniac.

A bucket of lard, valued at 65 cents,
was the cause of Ed. Warren, a small
white boy with a club foot, landing in
Jail today, with a forty-day sentence
hanging over him.
His aged grandmother who appeared
in court to plead for him, says that he
has become a kleptomaniac, although
she did not use exactly those words.
She says he steals things which he
has no use for and that nothing is
safe around him unless it is nailed
down.
"He aint bin right since the street
car run over him." she declared, "and
cut off his foot. He's got so now he
admits to stealing. He didn't use to
be thataway. If he would steal a
horse l believe he would admit it, d"
she told Judge Batson. She thinks
that the street car hurt him worse
than was evident on the surface.
Young Warren has been incorrigi.
BILE. At the time of his arrest he had
thirty-day suspended sentence hang
ing over him.
He was charged with attempting tc
steal a bucket of lard from N. B
Blount. In the sweatbox last night
he admitted to having stolen a watch
at the bathing beach on Bouie rivel
and to rifiing the pockets of the bath
ers. He said he could find the silvel
watch if turned loose.
There was much weeping and wall
ing when the Mayor assessed a ten
day Jail sentence ON him. The grand
mother says they are going to NOV,
away in order to place him in a re
form school.

NO "PEAcE IN MISSISSIPPI" TILL
FOES ARE ROUTED, HE
DECLARED.
CROWD WAS LARGE BUT
NOT OVERLY SYMPATHETIC
Governor Is Less Vitriolic,
But Equally as Vigorous as Before
Declares Constitutional Convention
Is Chief Plank In His Platform.

Theodore G. Bilbo, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and candidate for the office of
Chief Executive of Mississippi, brought
his campaign to Forrest county last
night when he addressed a crowd at
Hamper Park that is conservatively
estimated at $500.
1t was larger crowd than the one
that greeted Mr.. Bilbo at the court
house three years ago when he was
canvassing for the office he now holds,
but it was by no means as enthusiastic.
The contrast was notable. Three
years ago, 1t seemed as if every man
in the audience was for Bilbo; last
night it was evident that considerably
more than half his hearers came out of
curiosity, or to hear the band. Three
years ago it was difficult for him to
speak, so spontaneous, frequent, long
and loud was the applause. Last night
the rather sparse applause that occur
red from time to time during the
speech was lacking in spontaniety, but
| followed rather the lead of a few Of
the speakers faithful friends who sat
on the stage.
But if the crowd was less sympa-
thetic and enthusiastic, Bilbo was
none the less vigorous. True, he was
not so vitriolic in his denunciation of
his enemies as he was in 1911, but he
spoke just as loud, Just as rapidly, just
as long. His voice was husky from
recent outdoor addresses, but after he
got it warmed up he was heard easily
even by those who sat on the outskirts
of the crowd.
Attacks Only Riley.
The speaker devoted considerably
more time to himself and his own rec
ord than he did to any of his oppo
nents. In fact the only one of his op
ponents he referred to except in the
most casual way. was Riley. He de
clared in substance that all the candi
dates against him are tools in the
hands of corporate interests and pred
atory wealth, and that the same clique
that fought Vardaman in 1911 is behint
the candidacy of Tally, Riley, Quir
and the others.
"Riley is the man they have picked
to beat Bilbo with" he said. after hi
finds out he cant win they will tro
out Tally or Quin or one of the others
Five candidates have been hatched 81
far and for all know there are Others
in the incubator
For Constitutional Convention.
The Bilbo platform contains 81
planks, but the one he laid creates
stress on was the calling of consti
tutional convention. 81 would sacrific

dramatically, "if that were necessar

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING !
Smith Wins, But Doesn't Look Like
achampion.

Gunboat Smith knocked Tom Nc
Carly Of Montana out in the fourth
round in New York last night.
That sounds fairly important, but
Smiths method of accomplishing the
feat leaves him in the class of merely
ordinary white hopes. McCaFty
showed every earmark of the novice
and left opening after opening for the
Gunboat to profit by. Smith, though
experienced, failed badly in the first
three frames.
At least twenty times Smith swung
his right, his best blow, in the direc-
ton of McCarty; And he missed each
time Two or three stout blows land
ed, but McCarty shook them off and
invited the gunner to further efforts.
In the fourth McCarty came to the
center with his guard wide open.
Smith landed one of his desperate
rights and down went the Montana
man. Instead of staying on the cam
vas, McCarty showed his inexpeFi-
ence by jumping UP at the count Of
three. Again Smith dropped him and
once more McCarty failed 10 take adj
vantage of the referees count He,
stumbled to his feet at the count of
four. For the third time he was floor
ed and again he got up before the
nine mark was reached. The referee
stopped the fight, however, as Nc
Carthy was plainly done for.
Gunboat showed he still has that
kicking punch when it lands. But a
more experienced man than McCar-
thy would have given him a lot of
trouble.

Why Is American League So Eager,
to Sell New York Yanks?

Why is Ban Johnson-who seems
to be the sole roller Of the little ball
for the American league 80 anxious
to dispose of the New York Yankees
to Col. Rupert and Capt Huston?
We're not asking that question so
we can be very clever and spring the
answer in the next paragraph. We
haven't got it concealed about our
person, but it is a fair guess that a
good story lies back Of Bans 1iego-
tiations.
According to claims of the organ
lied baseball people, the Feds were
the only ones to surfer any heavy
financial reyerses In the 1914 season.
Nevertheless, we find the American
anxious to force Frank Farrell and
Bill Devery from control of the
Yanks.
Has Farrell kicked over the traces
and refused to follow Johnson's lead,
just as Charley So1ners of Cleveland
threatened to do??
Or did the, Yanks run into financial
snags and is RUPERT needed with
his heavy doughbag to act as an an
gel for them York club?
Keeping these two questions in
mind, the latest interviews from in
terested parties in the Yank deal are
interesting The usual "close friend"
who is always confidentially taken
into the secret and then proceeds to-
spill it to the newspapers, said in
New York yesterday that all nego-
tiations had been completed for the
sale of the club. Rupert added that
a few angles remain to be cleared up
and then he and Huston would take
over the club. The price will be
about SAFE, 600.
That all sounds plausible enough
but is only one side of the question.
Farrell, however, spoiled the whole
story. He said the club was for sale
to the first man who would pay $780,

Why Spain Lays Behind.

In thousands of villages and small
towns in the interior of Spain no one
knows how to read or write. There
are in Spain 10000 rural villages with.
out schools of any kind and many
thousands which can be reached only
by a bride path, there being no hlgh
roads or railway communication OF
any kind. Attendance at board schools
is voluntary, not obligatory. Seventy
six per cent. of the children In Spain
are illiterate, and this is especially
noticeable in the capital.

Warns Against Wildcat Schemes.
