MIXED SENTIMENT ON
ANTI-FRAT DECISION
Continued from Page One.)

University of Mississippi and in all
other educational institutions support
ed in whole or in part by the state;
providing penalties for any trustee,
teacher or other officer connected
with the institution for failure or re-
fusal to enforce the provisions of this
act; providing penalty for any student
who knowingly violates the provisions
of this act, and empowering the board
of trustees to purchase all buildings
now owned by any of said orders.
J. P. Waugh, young citizen of
Holmes county, desiring to enter the
law department of the university, but
TO retain his status as a member of
Kappa Sigma Fraternity of Millsaps
College, refused to sign pledge to
abjure his fraternity affiliations. This
he declined to do, and filed a man
damus to compel the trustees to admit
him. This precipitated the litigation,
which has been successfully upheld by
all the courts, and it is assumed that
no further ATTACKS will be made on
the statute.
Waugh has since settled down to
the practice of law in Holmes county,
and is said to be getting along well in
his profession.

BANKS DOING AWAY
WITH OvERDRAFTS
REPORTS OF FINANCIAL INSTITU-
TONS SHOW GREAT DE-
CREASE RECENTLY.

The banks of Mississippi are stick
ing to their determination to elimi-
nate the practice heretofore prevail
ing of allowing overdrafts. This is
shown in the reports of the various
state institutions made to the State
Banking Department under the call of
May l. The preceding report showed
that unsecured oyerdrafts of the Mis-
sissippi banks amounted to more than
$450,000. They now total only $1,000.
There are now 2S2 state banks in
Mississippi, all operating under the
guarantee of deposits feature of the
1914 banking law, as well as all other
provisions of that statute.
The report and summary of the con-
ditiOn of the state banks has just been
issued by Secretary Robert L. Hall.
The report shows the banks in all
parts of the state to be in excellent
shape, on sound basis, and operating

Mexico Becoming Still More Chaotic

The United States has arrested HUI
erta, the former president of Mexico,
who recently returned from Europe
and was apparently planning to en-
ter Mexico again.
The United States charges that the
former Mexican chief executive was
plotting another revolution in the
southern neighbor, if revolution" be
the proper term.
Huerta is being held pending fur.

Liverpool, Eng. After ten months
OF war the losses suffered by the con
tending nayies present some interest
ing points for speculation, says the
Journal Of Commerce, affording a
comparison OF the relative merits of
the various offensive weapons in the
naval struggle, and showing how cost
" it is to the countries concerned
to indulge in minor encounters.
Summarizing the losses under types
of vessels, Great Britain and her al
lies have been deprived of the ser
vice of eight battleships, fourteen
cruisers, four gunboats, six destroy
ers, ten submarines, fourteen boats
and six armed merchantmen and aux
iliaries.
The losses of Germany and her al
lies consist of one battleship. twenty.
six cruisers, fifteen gunboats, thirteen

twenty armed merchantmen and aux
iliaries.

their opponents have lost by the same
causes. BY torpedo the British losses
are ten times more than those Of the
other side. which shows clearly how
important a part that weapon plays,
IN gunfre England has established
a long lead chiefly because the Her.
man ships at large when war was de-
sclered have been destroyed by this
means. In the armed merchantmen
and auxiliary class the net register
tonnage of Allied ships destroyed
amounts to 80, 900, while the German
Austrian and Turkish losses stand at
approximately double that figure. The
total financial loss in this instance
amounts to about $4,000, ,00G
Thus ten months of skirmishing
and preliminary actions, leading to
no definite result so far as the uues.
