SUPREME COURT HAS DECIDED

Southwest Tap Lines Cap share with

WASHINGTON. May 25.-Ano-nrr

submit the question of repeal to the
people.

Mississippi conferences of the Metho

asking the legislature to permit the
submission. of the proposed repeal al

WITHERSPQON SEES
NO IMPROVEMENT
IN SYSTEM
MISSISSIPPI CONGRESSMAN Ex-
PLAINS HIS OPPOSITION TO
CURRENCY BILL.
SAYS BILL IS UNDEMOCRATIC
Opposite Of What 1t Should Be ana
is Framed Along Republican Lines"
Under New Law Banks will Try to
MonopoIize Money, He Says.
(By Frank d. Lander, Jr)

Washington, Jan. 30. ID Declaring
that the new administration currency
law is contrary to the best interests
Of the American people," representa-
tive s. A. Witherspoon Of Mississippi
delivered an address in the house ex-
planning his negative vote on the meas
ure. Mr. Witherspoon was one of three
Democrats in the lower house to vote
against the bill.
Mr.. Witherspoon declared, in his ad-
dress, that our currency system ought
to be the exact opposite of that adopt
ed by the Democratic party. He says
the bill is not Democratic but is franz
ed along Republican lines.
He declared the real meaning of the
term money" is that it is a medium
of exchange. "All dictionaries and
books on political economy accord in
this definition" he said, "and none of
them define it as a medium of bank
credits. To destroy the use of money
altogether and to make the people de-
pendent on the banks for their credits
is the primary object of the currency
bill against which voted"
He showed that under the old sys-
TEN, which was undesirable in many
ways, the banks were required to keep
in their vaults from Is to 25 per cent
of their deposits in cash. This vast
r serve meant that that much money
must be idle" he said. "It had no 9TH
er effect except to center in the banks
the credits of the country and to make
the people wholly dependent on them
for their credits as a medium of ex-
change in lieu of money.
"The new system is still worse" he
said, citing figures to show that banks
under the new system must keep more
reserve on hand than under the old,
Monopoly of Money.
He declared that under the new law
each bank will have to strive to be-
come a monopoly of all the money in
it's community in order that it may be
able to lend the largest amount Of
credit to the people.
"The monopoly idea of bank is in
tolerable to anyone who has the in
stincts of a Democrat" he said. "All
private monopolies are denounced in
the Democratic platform as intolerable
and indefensible. A monopoly Of
money is the worst form of monopoly
that selfishness can devise. The po-
tent cause of the paralysis of the trans
portation and mercantile business as
we'll as of the manufacturing and agri-
cultural and other productive indus
tries of the country lies in the money
trust, which has existed for many

JOSEPH BlLBo, SHOT BY NEIL
,STRAHAN, DIED AT LOCAL HOS
PlTAL THIS MORNING.
VICTIM WAS COUSIN
OF LIEUT.. governor
Trouble Between Two Men Said to
Have Been Caused by Dispute Over
Ownership of Some Lumber-Com-
munity Excited over the Tragedy.

Joseph Bilbo, first cousin of Lieut..
Gov. Theo Bilgo, died at the South
Mississippi Infirmary at o'clock this
morning, as the result of a bullet
wound inflicted Thursday afternoon at
his home in Pearl River county, by
Neil Strahan, young farmer who liv-
ed near the home of his victim.
Trouble between Bilbo and Strahan
is said to have been brewing for long
time but the immediate cause of the
tragedy was a dispute over the owner
ship of small quantity of lumber.
The lumber, it is said, was first remov-
ed from Bilbos premises by Strahan,
while the former was away from home.
Bilbo is said to have removed the
lumber from Strahan's home back to
his own in the latter's absence, and
for second time Strahan went
through the process during another
absence of Bfbo from his home. Thurs
day afternoon Strahan is said to have
been passing Bilbo's home when the
latter hailed him, and Strahan drew a
pistol and fired six times at Bilbo, only
one of the bullets taking effect. AS
Bilho fell to the ground mortally
wounded he is said to have fired one
Intellectual E ot at Strahan. The
shooting is said to have occurred in
the presence of Bilbos wife and little
daughter and a friend from Poplarville.
The wounded man was brought here
for surgical attention as soon as pos
sible but mad lost so much blood from
the wound that all hope of saving his
life was soon abandoned. The bullet
entered the abdomen on the left side,
perforated the intestines and lodged
in the right side of his body.
The remains, accompanied by the
father of deceased and several friends,
were taken to Lumberton this morn
ing, thence to the Spring Hill GENE
terry. near deceased's home, where in
terment was made this afternoon at
3 o'clock.
Following the shooting Strahan was
placed under arrest and taken to the
Poplarville jail. The community in
which the parties to the tragedy live,
and where they both have many rela-
tives and friends, is said to be greatly
excited over the killing, and it would
not be surprising if further trouble re-
suits.
Bilbo, who was about 25 years old
is Survived by young wife and two
children. Strahan is about 21 years
old and unmarried.
