SUNDAY TO LIVE
AT LOYAL HOTEL
Local Committee Selects This as the
Stopping Place Of the
Evangelist in Omaha.
BANQUET FOR BUSINESS MEN

Billy" Sunday will live at the
Loyal hotel during the coming reli-
gious campaign in Omaha, which De-
gins September 5.
This was decided at q meeting OF
the executive committee Friday. The
report Of the entertainment commit
tee recommending this arrangement
was UNANIMOUSLY adopted. The COM
mittee consisted of Rev. z. II. jerks,
Rev. F. T. Rouse and F. d. Wead.
The hotel was selected, because none
Of the private homes available was
suitable in size and location to the needs
Of the party. There are twelve members
Of this party all of them being active
workers in the campaign, even to Ma"
Sunday, as Mrs. Sunday Is called.
The hotel located at Sixteenth street
and Capitol avenue. Is only two blocks
from the tabernacle, and this is large
consideration I'm its selection.
About fifteen rooms win be required
several of them being set aside for COM
mittee meetings and the like.
A big banquet of business men inter-
ested in the Sunday campaign will be
given at the Commercial club rooms Mon
day evening. August 30. 1t is expected
to make 1t a dolIar-a-plate affair.

The city solicitor maintained that def

Extracts from Mr.. F1eharty's letter "a

The protest referring 20 the referon-

tions to the ordinance. no suggestions OF

to produce a reference Of said ordinance

1916 OF at a special election.
For that purpose Il Is clearly inef-

Of scventy-eight cars operating as jitneys
on the streets OF this city since July 81.
These jitneys are operating without any
provision of any character for the pro-
lection OF any man. woman or child In
iured by such iitneys. The hazard OF
operating automobiles on our streets Is
clearly illustrated by our police records
When cars possessing such possibilities
of injury are offered as common car
riers for the safe transportation OF the
public. it would be criminal to fail to
make such limited provision for the
safety OF the public as lies within the
power Of the city.

AIR RAID BY BRITISH.
(By Associated Press.)

London, Feb. 13.-The retirement of
the Russians from East Prussia, and
the British air raid on the Belgian
coast appear to be the biggest fac.
tors in todays military situation.
The monotony of the deadlock in
the western battle field has been brok-
en- by what seems to be severe fight.
ing in the Vosges and Argonne regions.
AS in other encounters in the East,
the opponents disagree as to the i'm
portance of the Russian retirement
from East Prussia. Berlin In hailing
it as great victory. The city is de-
corated. and all schools have been dis.
missed.
The Russians say they simply fell
back to re-align their forces under the
protection of their own forts. and that
the real conflict is yet to come. The
German official report says that the
English raid did great damage to the
civilian population OF Ostend, Bruges.
and other north Berlin cities. From
military point of view the report con-
tinues, the damage done was light.
The Germany also report that artillery
ammunition found on the extreme
western front "doubtlessly originated
in American factories"
News from the Carpathians is scant
but what has filtered through indicates
the conflict there to be see-saw af
fair.

Cotton Buyer and
Bank Officer Haze
a Narrow Escape
DRIVES AUTOMOBILE INTO TELE.
GRAPH POLE TO ESCAPE
YARD ENGINE.

/. V. Austin, well known Hatties-
burg cotton buyer, and w. P. Jones.
assistant cashier ef the First National
Bank of Commerce, had a narrow
escape from sudden death Thursday
night, when the automobile in which
they were riding was driven into a
telegraph pole at the Northeastern
railroad crossing, to prevent it being
struck by yard engine.
The pole was broken off near the
ground, which permitted the machine
and it's occupants to escape from the
danger zone. Neither of the occupants
received injuries, and the motor car
was undamaged.
The accident occurred at about II
o'clock. The crossing had been reach
ed, and one switch engine mad passed,
when a flagman signalled that the
coast was clear, according to Mr.. Aus
tin and Mr.. Jones. The machine was
started across the track when a sec
ond engine from the opposite direc-
tion came down upon them. 1t was a
question of whether the car should be
driven into the engine or into the tele-
garph pole. The latter was selected.
Fortunately for the occupants of the
car, the pole was an old one, and east
ly broken, which permitted the ma
chine to escape.
The pole released live wire which
came over the tracks, and it was nee
essary to flag the northbound North
eastern passenger train at this juno
ture.

Crowds Of Curious in Meridian Climb

To Get Close View of Ceremonies
Wanderers From All Over Country
Attend Funeral.
Special to The Ne,0s.

Meridian, Miss, Feb. 13.-The body
OF Mrs, Callie Mitchell, queen of the
gypsies, wife of Emil Mitchell, who is
head OF the gypsy tribes of the United
States. was buried in Rose Hill GENE.
terry yesterday afternoon with all the
pomp and ceremony attending the fin.
neral OF wanderlust. One of the
largest crowds ever attending a fill
neral in Meridian, was present.
The services were conducted at St.
Pauls Episcopal church by the rector,
Rev. H. w. Wells, who also concluded
the services at the cemetery. It is
conservatively estimated that 5000
people were at the cemetery to witness
the last rites over the dead body of a
woman who was honored by all the
gypsies of the country. The husband
Emil Mitchell, and several others of
the gypsy band with him, are mem.
bers of the Masonic fraternity and the
pail bearers were all Masons.
Deep Grief Manifested.
Before the funeral cortege left the

there was enacted in the parlors one
OF the saddest scenes that could be
pictured. Out Of consideration for the
grief of the gypsies, the undertaken
closed the doors to the parlor, leaving
them alone with their dead. There
was weeping and lamentations, such
as is seldom seen. 1t appeared to be
an extreme picture of poverty and dis
tress. Around the casket of the dead
queen, the nomads gathered. Most
of the women looked faded, or prema.

Children of tender years, clothed in
different kinds of costumes and some
almost without any clothing, were
held in mothers arms as they looked
for the last time on the face of the
one who had been their queen. The
men chanted or tried to sing songs
and spoke in language that no one
but the gypsies understood.
The grief was genuine, as the last

sissippi Baptist Mems Convention
which has just closed in Meridian, will
be held in Hattiesburg.
This formal announcement has not
yet been made, but according to the
local delgates who have just returned
from Meridian, this city has been Sc
lected, and the executive board will
announce its decision soon.
The Rev. E. D. Solomon, who was
one of the Hatties burg delegates head
Ing the campaign for this city, said
today that there is no doubt but that
the committee will select this place.
"We put in a good bid for the meet
ing" he continued, ''and convinced
both the delegates and the members
of the executive committee tnat this
was the logical place. The commit
teemen practically stated to the con-
vention in session that Hattiesburg
would be selected"
1t means that between 400 and 900
Baptists from every section of Missis-
sippi will be in attendance. The Com
Board, the city officials, and
of individuals were behind the
Hattiesburg delegates in their fight.
