Amendment No. 9 amends SEQ.
ton 81 of the constitution SO that
nine or more jurors in civil suits
may agree on verdict of the jury.
The object of this amendment is to
expedite the trial Of cases in the
lower courts. The adoption of the
amendment will prevent one juror
from tying up case and oauaing
a mistrial. The amendment has
the Endorsement of some of the
leading lawyers of lhe state.
An amendment designed to give
South Mississippi more represen.
tation in the House of Represent
atives failed at the last session of
the Legislature because of an
error in writing the bill. The au-
thor of the bill made the mistake
of depriving jackson County of
one-half of a representative in the
House. This caused the defeat of
the bill in the House after it had
passed in the Senate. Under the
present constitution jackson and
Harrison counties have a foater
representative between them. The
bill as drawn deprived jackson
County of half of a representative
and gave the whole representive
to Harrison. jackson County
fought the bill and succeeded in
working up enough sympathy to
cause it to fail to get the necessary
two. thirds majority in the House.

Mississippi Votes On Nine
Amendments.

The following from the Jack
son Correspondent in reference to
the Amendments to the Constitu-
ton to DO voted on in Novem Der,
we take from The Commercial
Appeal. 1t would be we'll to make
a note of these Amendments in
your mind:
Nine amendments to the State
Constitution will be submitted to
the voters of Mississippi for rati.
fcatlon or rejection at the election
to be held November 3rd. All of
the amendments are of vital i'm
portahce and if ratified will make
radical changes in the organic law.
Amendment No l is PROPOSE
ton to engraft the iniative and
referendum into the constitution
The amendment amends section 33
Of the organic low by adding
thereto provision that the people
shall have the right to enact any
law that they may see fit, indie
pendent of the Legislature, and
that any law passed by the Legis.
lature can be amended or repealed
by the voters. The amendment
provides that 5000 qualified voters,
by filing petition with the secre-
tary Of state, can force an election
on any law which the people may
desire to enact, alter, amend or
repeal.
Amendment No. 2 reapportions
representation in the State Senate
and increases the mem bership of
that body from 45 to 49. The
purpose of this amendment is to
give South Mississippi four new
senators. When the present con-
stitution was adopted, in 1890,
South Mississippi was sparsely
settled and that section of the
state was given small representa-
ton in the upper branch Of the
Legislature. Since the adoption
of the constitution South Missis-
sippi has grown in poplation at

settled as any other section.
Recognizing the unfairness of the
present apportionment, the Legis-
lature, by an almost unanimous
vote, submitted an amendment to
the constitution reapportioning
representation in the Senate and
giving four new senators to South
Mississippi.
Amendments Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
and 8 increase the size of the su-
preme court from three to six
judges and make the judges elect
i've. In order to make this change
in the organic law it is necessary
to amend six different sections of
the constitution. The first gu
preme court amendment increases
the number of judges from three
to six. The second makes the
judges elective by the people. The
third repeals the section provld-
ing that the governor shall appoint
judges. The fourth provides that
the judges shall be elected from
the supreme court districts as
created by the constitution. The
fifth fixes the terms of the judges
at eight years. and the sixth pro-
vides that the supreme court may
sit in two divisions with three

many years the supreme court has

litigation has increased at such
an enormous rate that the high
court has been literally swamped.
1t is now more than two years in
arrears in the disposition of cases.
Realizing that something must be
done to relieve the present situa-
ton and provide more expedi-
tlous way of handling the business s
of the court, the Legislature de-
cided that the best plan was to
increase the size of the court and
give the judges authority to sit in
two divisions, one for handling
civil cases and the other for crimi.

More Psychology.

The statement of untitled orders OF

regarded in industrial circles the world
over as an unfailing barometer of con
ditions in the iron and steel business.
The regular statement, made Yesterday
shows that the untitled orders of the
corporation at the present time totaI
but little more than half the ton
mage than was on the corporation s
books one year ago.
What this means to the business and
industry of the country is almost be-
yond comprehension. In part it means
that thousands of skilled and unskilled
labors have been thrown out of work,
and that huge amount of capital that
should be bringing prosperity to the
nation is lying idle
But we presume that Mr.. Wilson will
still contend that the fact that the buy
ing power of users of iron and steel has
decreased one-half since his Inauguration
is merely psychology.

ALLEGED LOBBY
Interests Behind Anti Trust Leg
isi2iiO0 Fight


3ensation Caused In Washington When
Chief Executive Makes Public
Circular Letters Sent Out In Cam

Washington, June 16. - President

program was the result of a campaign
by certain interests and intimated that
it was the cause OF the psychological

ness were made public at the White
House.
President Wilson made it clear that
the campaign, if such it may be called,
would have no effect upon him, and
that it was his plan TO push the trust
program through the senate with the
aid of all the means at his command.
He expressed the view that business
was as good, il not better, now than a
while ago, and that it would be less
harmful to the business Of the country
to have the trust legislation program
completed than to be confronted with
Il period Of uncertainty which would
accompany delay.
News Of what the president had said
and OF the giving out OF the circular
letters spread quickly to the capitol.
One Of the circular letters was circu-
lated by the Simmons Hardware Com
pany OF St. Louis. +. c. Simmons, the
head Of the company, had been Sc
lected for a member Of the federal
reserve board and his nomination was
to have gone to the senate. 1t was
announced at the White House that
Mr.. Simmons had declined the place
and that Charles S. Hamlin OF Boston,
now an assistant secretary OF the
treasury, would be nominated in his
place.
White House officials emphatically
denied, however, that the circular
letter sent out by the Simmons com
pany had any connections with the
deClination OF Mr. Simmons.

RAPID ACTION
N0H. EXPECTED
CaTIalZa Ban Marks Crisis In
Mediation Situation


American and Huerta Delegates Are
Said to Have Practically Agreed
On Provisional President But Tha;
Rebel Leaders VIII Have to Approve
Before Administration Finally IN
dorses Selection.
Washington, June 16.-The action
of the mediators il turning down Car
rama again was regarded by officials
here as marking (. crisis in the situa-
ton.
Decisive developments are expected
quickly now or not at all. President
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan remained in the
closest touch with the American dele
gates at the conference.
They watched every development
with the keenest interest feeling that
any hour might bring news concern
ing the selection OF provisional presi-
dent.
1t was stated positively by NOM
bers of the Constitutionalist junta that
no representatives Of Carranza will
go to Niagara Falls except as fully
empowered delegates to represent
him at the conference.
1t has been limited by these same
authorities before that possibly Cald
erOn, Cabrera and VasConclos might
be present at Niagara Falls to advise
and consult with the American and
IInprto Ig1ar,tIs L.,
part in the conferences in which the
A. B. c. powers were represented. In
structions have been received from
Carranza forbidding this course.
1t was suggested by officials that
a compromise might be affected by the
United States whereby Huerta ami
Carranza would agree upon the selec-
ton Of a neutral Mexican to head the
provisional government.
This, members OF the rebel junta
declared, will not be considered, as it
would not hasten the pacifcation of
Mexico and would be temporizinE
rather then compromise. Trouble
would spring up anew within a year
if a deal was made with Huerta, and
Carranza is well aware of this.
1t was said unOfIicially that the
American and Huerta delegates had
about reached an agreement as to a
possible provisional head, but that the
rebel attitude toward the man in ques-
tlon had not been learned.
The belief is spreading that the only
efticaciOus means of restoring peace N
Mexico and settling the present vexinE
problems will be for the United States
to withdraw from the question and
permit the federals and rebels to fight
out their grievances until one or the
Other is Completely subjugated.
