ST. LOUIS AGAINST THE SOUTH.

Taking Up Battle.

New Orleans, Feb. 3.-That st.
Louis in a frantic endeavor &c se-
cure federal reserve bank is fight
ing to prevent such a bank being
established in any Southern State,
lis the conclusion reached by a New
Orleans committee of bankers-who
recently returned from visit to
several cities in the South.
Shut off on the north by Chica-
go. on the east by Cincinnati,
Pittsburgh. Philadelphia. Boston
or New York, and on the west by
Kansas City and Denver, st Louis
realizes that desperate measures
must be taken to insure the estab-
Iishment Of q federal reserve bank
in that city. said General Mana
ger M. B. Trezevant of the New
| Orleans Association of Commerce
| in an open letter to southern inter-
tests. Therefore her only oppor-
Itunity for strengthening her con-
tentions is to claim that the entire
South should be subsidiary to st.
Louis. Should the st. Louis plan
prevail the whole South will be
ignored. and while the Atlantic.
| the Great Lakes. the Middle West.
the Rocky Mountains and the
Pacific Coast states will be repre-
sented, the Gulf and Southern
States will be denied a reserve
hank, It is pointed out by some
that. totally aside from the merits
Of the case (which are sufficient

ltration would not and could not
permit the South to be SO grossly
Ignored. 1t was the Democratic
lvotes of the South in Congress
which made the federal reserve
bank system a possibility, but nm
Ider the st. Louis plan the South
would be snubbed and put in eat
Iegory of unimportance. It is in-
conceivable that the selfish pro-
gram demanded BY st Louis will
be carried out by the Reserve Bank
Organization Committee and that
the entire South will be ignored
land merely tied to the kite strings
of central western city. St.
Louis seems to be IN earnest. how
ever in her determination to grab
leverything in sight. but we Of New
Orleans are equally determined
THAT the South shall not be carried
away by any such program and we
| have fully made up our minds 70
lead the fight against St. Louis and
her anti Southern attitude. and We
stand unaIterably for a reserve
bank in the Southern States. That
| We believe such bank should be
located ID the metropolis OF the
South, the Gate way to the Mississ'
ippi Valley and the Panama Canal
may be taken Tor granted. We be-
IIieve that New Orleans will bt

Chance. and therefore we put tbs

BOGaLUsA GIRL IN COLUMBIA RESORT
Citizens Committee Orders Place
Closed and inmates to Leave
the Town.

Columbia, Miss, Jan. 90 AS
the direct result of the finding of
seventeen-year-old Melissa Warner.
of BoeaIusa, La. in a resort in the
outlying section Of the city. citi-
zeDs' committee headed by the min
listers of the local churches. has
ordered the district here closed,
and the inmates to leave town with
in twenty-four hours. This notice
was issued today, and prosecution
for vagrancy is provided as a pen
atty. 1t is stated that the mandate
of the committee will be respected
and all houses closed.
Melissa Warner. a pretty child of
the Creole type. came to Columbia
several days ago. because her home
life was unhappy, she told Sheriff
Hathorn. She half realized the
calling Of the persons with whom
she cast her lot. but said she desir-
ed to live their life. whatever it
might be-, rather than remain in
the uncongenial surroundings in
which she had been reared.
With her there came to Colum-
bia youth. who gave the name Of
George Starnes, and the couple
registered at the Baylio Hotel as
man ana wife. The boy left
Columbia the following morning.
and since has not been heard from.
The girl left later in the day. and
the fact that she carried no luggage
excited the suspicions Of Mr.. Bay
lis. and he started the investiga-
tlon that led to the finding of the
girl.
Melissa first claimed TO be
Starnes' wife. but she could not
remember his name. then when
closely questioned she disclosed her
identity,
