ALLEGED BiGAMIST.

Clarksdale, Miss, May IL. - r l..
Reese, white men and a resident of
the Edwards plantation which lies
about fifteen or sixteen miles below
this city, was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Hendrick and brought
to this city and confined in the county
jail to await a preliminary hearing be-
fore Judge Kellebrew on a charge of
bigamy.
About five years ago Reese was mar
ried here to Mrs. Edwards, the owner
of the above mentioned plantation,
and has since been living on this place.
Recently through messages exchang-
ed by the sheriff's office of this city
to a city in Louisiana, it was alleged
by parties in the Louisiana city that
Reese had formerly been married
there, but he had disappeared and un-
til recently no clue as to his location
had been found. The authorities here
will hold him until such time as q
thorough investigation of his case can
be made.

MOTHER OF TWENTY
ASKS FOR PARDON

Jackson, Miss, May II. = Fannie
Robinson, negress, mother of TWEEN
ty children, wants Gov. Brewer to
grant her a pardon.
Fannie was sent up from Washing
ton county to serve a two year term
in the penitentiary for unlawful retail
ing She is one of the first victims
of the new law providing penal terms
for old offenders against the law pro
hibiting the sale of liquor.
In her petition to the governor Fan
ME says that she is suffering with ne
phrites in a severe form-whatever
that is-and, furthermore, is not gull
ty of the offense charged, nor would
she be able to do any hard labor.
The governor admits that Fannie's
case has him somewhat stumped. The
penitentiary is hardly a suitable place
for the mother of twenty children, her
youngest being only three months of
age, and at the same time he thinks
that woman who has given birth to
a score of children ought to have
sence enough not to sell whiskey.

WOULD REPEAL LAW.

Jackson. Miss, May 1.-THE repeal
of Sections 269 and 270 of the Missis-
sippi state constitution, code chapters
5000 and 5091, prohibiting the grant
ing of requests to religious organiza-
lions in the will of any person In MIS-
sissippi, is the object sought by
movement set on foot here last night
at a meeting of the representatives
of protestant churches.
The law forbidding donations In
wills to religious organizations was
written into the constitution In 1891,
the purpose being to prevent, what
the members of the constitutional con-
yention believed, the undue influence
of the Catholic priesthood over aged
persons in disposing of their prop
erty in wills to the church to the ex-
clusion of relatives.
An effort was made SIX years ago
to have the legislature agree to SUD-
nit to the constitutional amendment
repealing the statute. The movement
then was headed by the late Bishop
Galloway, but it failed. The protes-
tants contend that the statute is I'M
fair. and that donations are made in
wills to the priests or trustees.
A determined effort to have the
legislature adopt constitutional
amendment to be submitted to the
people for repeal is to be launched as
a result of last nights meeting.
The statutes on this subject read
in part as follows
every legacy gift or bequest OF
money or personal property, or of any
interest, benefit or use therein, either
direct. implied or otherwise, contain
ed in any last will and testament or
codicile, in favor of any religious or
ecclesiastical corporation, sole or az
gregate, or any religious or ecclesi-
astical society, or to any religi-
Gus denomination or association,
either for its own use or benefit, or
for the purpose Of being given or ap-
propriated to charitable uses, shall be
null and void, and the distributes
shall take the same as though no such
testamentary disposition had been
made"
According to a decision of the gu
preme court on the validity of the
statute, under this section a will Civ
ing lands and personal property to
an educational association in trust
for erecting and maintaining college
is valid as to the personality.

: TAXPAYERS KICK

Editor The Times:
Several days ago a taxpayer In
your city expressed his opinion
through The Times in regard to
hiring city help that have in
comes such as rent, etc. This
seems to be a fad, more SO since
last election. Both county and
state road. work seem to be run
on that plan. The county work
ON the mountain road was put in
charge OF a man that is part own
er and manager Of a single mill,
who as a rule worked single
men, as he seemed to be interest
ed in their board. Married men
and taxpayers had no show for q
Job.
The state work has one lone
team on the road at the same
place that is owned by a man that
made thousands of dollars from
your city through land deals and
office holding. and at present has
swell hotel on the mountain
road.
This person loses no time while
others that are more needy and
live closer to the work are idle
This is going on in less than 30
miles of Tacoma. Could say more
that would interest the taxpayer
and be no credit to the parties
that are in charge here.

help but see. as taxpayer does,

ly. There are many Americans who would have
worded it differently. But Wilson's was the re-
sponsibility. He could not evade it and no one
could share it with him.
President Wilson is no more enthusiastic about
war than Bryan or any other pacifist. The gov
eminent of this country does not want war; the
people as whole do not want war We may be
sure that Wilson will do everything possible to
keep this country out of the European war, ex-
cept to compromise it's honor, and it is our guess
that as private citizen Bryan will be found
Loyalty supporting his old chief should peaceful
solution of our differences not be possible.
Meanwhile nothing should be permitted to d.
vide the people in their present attitude of loyal
support of the president.

The resignation Of Bryan as secretary of state
should not be permitted to serve as reason for
clouding the ISSUE
Bryan was appointed by President Wilson
largely for the purpose Of cementing friendly re-
lations between this country and South America.
The administration believed that the feeling
between this country and South America, once
pleasant enough, had changed almost to the
point Of antagonism on the part of the southern
republics, and it was considered big job to re-
pair the break.
In cementing the relations between North and
South America, Bryan found work greatly to
his liking, and Wilson found a man capable of
carrying out what he considered very import
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-06-10

and emergency that has arisen. Bryan has been
a valued associate, but Wilson has insisted that
Wilson's policy and Wilson's method must pre-
vail whenever final decision is to be made.
That Bryan did what his conscience told him
to do, no one who knows him will doubt. But the
Importance of his resignation should not be over
estimated Nothing worse could happen to this
country at this critical time than that Bryan's
action should create diversion among the peo-
pie in their attitude towards the president.
The note to Germany has been sent. The mo-
ment it was sent it ceased to be Woodrow VIII
sons note; it became the voice of the American
people.
Bryan would have Worded that note different
