SOLDIERS HISTORY COMPLETE

Jackson, Miss, July 3.-Dr. Dunbar |
Rowland director of the department |
of archives and history, returned to- |
day from a stay of two weeks in
Washington, where he went to com
plete the roll of Mississippians who
fought in the Confederate army.
The task has now been completed
and Mississippi is now the only state
in the South that is prepared to give
history of every one of her sons
who fought in the Civil war.
While in Washington, DR.. Rowland
decided to broaden the scope of his
activities by going into the Mexican
war and the war OF 1912 records, Sc
curing the names of all Mississipp'
ans who participated in those con-
fiicts. This work has only begun and
DR.. Rowland intends to carry out his
plans to complete it as soon as pos
sible.
DIR. Rowland was greatly assisted in
| his work while in the national capital
! by Gen Henry p Mccain, adjutant
general of the United States army
Gen. Mccain is a native of Mississip-
| nj. a brother of Mrs. M. l.. Heming-
way, wife of the city attorney of Jack
son. DR.. Rowland says he is one OF
the most popular officers in the army
and rendered him every courtesy and
| assistance in securing the rolls of Mis-
| sissippi soldiers.
| incidentally DR. Rowland who in
| the past years has become an enthusi-
astic golfer. had the pleasure of play
| ing on the Chevy Chase links, where
| President Wilson so often goes. The
! director of the Mississippi historical
department was highly elated when
he won a match with the assistant

SIMMONS IN JAIL.

Jackson, Miss, July Bred Jim"
Simmons, the Pike county farmer
whose life term in the penitentiary
was affirmed by the supreme court
last Monday, may avoid the COM
mencement of his penitentiary service
for several months.
r. W. Cutrer, attorney for Simmons,
has announced his intention of flllng
a suggestion of error in the supreme
court. 1t Is not likely, however, that
the motion will be docketed until the
expiration of the time limit, ten days
hence. 1t will then be deliberately
argued at later date, and this may
prevent the supreme court from dis
posing of it before the term adjourn
ment. which will probably be during
the first week in August.
In the meantime Simmons will re-
main In the Kinds county jail, where
he seems to be very well satisfied.
Although tho supreme court decision
was on a divided vote, one dissenting
opinion being rendered, there is little
or no probability that the suggestion
OF error will be sustained. Justice
Stevens. who handed down the ma
jority opinion, intimated rather
strongly that Simmons ought have
been given the death sentence.

drove him out of her home either to
lynching by a secret posse or else
to commit suicide.
The body of the negro was identi-

who Monday morning just after mid
night forced entrance to the home OF
Mrs. Mclean, whose husband is cir

petition for writ of habeas corpus

petition for writ of habeas corpus
says:
Your petition would further show
unto the court that she has reason
able grounds to believe, and does be-
lieve, that the defendant herein will
not obey the writ issued from this
court, requiring the defendant to pro-
duce the body of said child at the day
to be fixed by this court, but that the
defendant will, when the writ to be
issued herein is served on him, either
conceal the body and person of the
said David Sinclair, or will remove
the said child out of the jurisdiction
of this court, and outside and beyond
the state of Mississippi.
Nothing to Conceal.
Mrs. Sinclair states that she antici-
pates an attack on her moral charac-
ter by her former husband, and is
fully prepared to meet it: that she
will tell the whole story of the now
celebrated period of residence at the
Arden colony, in New Jersey, where
Upton Sinclair, Harry Kemp. the
tramp poet. and Mary Craig Kim

lived together for several months, and
the relations developed that resulted
in the divorce proceedings.

. Liberal Matrimonial Views.
1t is expected that Mrs. Sinclair will
/ emphasize in the courts the liberal
views on marriage expressed by her
husband, and that this will be one OF
the strong points in her favor.
! During the New York divorce pro-
ccedings Sinclair declared that mar
, riage is legalized slavery" and in
several of his books, notably Sylvia
he expressed some very amazing
views on matrimony.
The litigation between Sinclair and
his former wife is of especial interest
Mt this time because of the fact that
his present wife recently filed suits
against a dozen or more newspapers
alleging that she had been damaged
by the publication of a press dispatch
from New York in which it was stated
that she was arrested with her hus
band during the Free Silence League
demonstrations in front of the Office
of John d. Rockefeller, Jr., at q
Broadway, New York, last year.
