RUMOR SAYS GREECE
 TO FIGHT ENTENTE

London, Oct 29.-Rumors continue to ascribe to the Greek government in tentions hostile to the entente powers, even going so far as to say Greece has an understanding with Bulgaria and at the psychological moment will fall on the allied troops which landed at Saloniki.
 No such designs are really credited to Greece in London, but England and France continue to watch the political situation at Athens with unconcealed anxiety.
 Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secre- tary, said today that Greece's espousal of the cause of the central powers was an impossibility, and similar as surances come from authorative Greek sources.

MIR. MELLEN CON-
 TlNUED AS WITNESS
MT. Mellen Denied Having any Knowledge that Letters Were Written By Mir. Hall, and Had No Connection.

New York, Oct. 29.-Charles F. Mellen told the court at the trial of the eleven directors of the New Haven system that he had never known of the political activities of the late John M. Hall, vice president and later pres ident of the New Haven, influencing legislation in favor of the New Haven nor of the existence of the numerous letters which Hall wrote on the sub Ject to the other directors and officers of the company.
 q was paralyzed to discover" MT. Mellen said, "that had been for ten years within reach of the letter press copy books Containing the Hall let ters) and never have been blown up. l had no connection with these mat ters direct or indirect. I never had any reason to refer to them nor do know of any officer or director that did. I don't think they knew of them"
 Nevertheless the government at torneys continued the introduction of more of the Hall letters which had to do not only with legislative matters but with the alleged efforts of the New Haven to prevent steamboat competition. One of these letters in structed w. J. Miller, marine inspector of the New Haven to cause three boats of the New Haven steamship company, an independent line, which had just been acquired by the road to be broken up and disposed of to pre- vent their use for steamboat purpo- seS.
 This letter was shown by testimony to have the authorization of the di- rectors. The New Haven steamboat company, the government sought to show by other minutes and letters, was in competitor with the New Haven road. Two letters read today written by President Charles P. Clarke in the early minutes of the late J. P. Morgan indicated that the New Haven plans to get control of the Ridgefield and New York went awry. Clarke suggested that Morgan loan "Mr. Higgins" $25,O00 and take Ridgefield stock as security. Later Clark wrote that Higgins was intend ing to electrify the road as a compet- ing line with the New Haven and that "in my judgement it is to the best interests of the company that you re- call the loan."

BANDIT ATTACK ON U.
 5. TROOPS REFUSED
lnfantrymen in Trenches Give MeXicans a Surprise.-Fight- ing Continued About 10 Min utes and Mexicans Retreated

Brownsville, Texas, Oct. 29.-The Mexican bandits, who attacked a pa- trol of 20 United States infantrvmen at Capote ranch early today, charged the camp from three directions. evi- dently believing the infantrymen to be Tn tents. Instead the infantry were Tn trenches out from the camp and opened fire on the Mexicans at 50 yards before the latter realized what had occurred. The firing continued for perhaps 10 minutes when the Mex jeans, seeing what they were up against, retreated in the direction of the Rio Grande, 35 miles away, and escaped.
 The infantry were parts of Compan- ies E. and H. Twenty-e eighth Regi- ment, recently arrived from Dallas, and in command of Lieut.. M. R. Vain CT. It is not known how many Mexi- cans were in the band, but it is believ ed there were more than 15. Three of their horses were killed by the sol diers, causing much blood to be found and making it impossible to deter mine whether any Mexicans were wounded. If so they were carried away by members of the band.
 The fighting began about 1:25 and by ? o'clock troops of the Third and Twelfth Cavalry, stationed up and down the river from Capote ranch, drew in quickly. One troop came from Hidalgo and another from Ha- cienda de San Juan. These troops ar rived in time to discover some Mexi- cans fleeing and fired several shots, but due to the darkness failed to hit. The Mexicans apparently succeeded in crossing the river.

DELIVERS ADDRESS
 TO MOMENTS CLUB
Arkansas First Teacherage"- Declares that "One Woman in terested in School Work can do the Work of Ten Men"

Little Rock, Oct. 30.-Mrs. Frank W. Peel, of the Bentonville Sun, deliv- cred an address before the Arkansas Federation of Woman's Clubs on "Ar- kansas First Teacherage."
 Mrs. Peel, who is the only daughter of H. L. Cross, Grand Recorder of the A. o. U. w., made an appeal for the election of two women on each school board, when equal suffrage is attain ed, declaring that lone woman inter- ested in school work can do the work of ten men," The School Improve ment Association of the Morning Star district in Benton county has demon- strated this. In one of the meetings last fall, the idea was suggested that the teachers should be housed on the school grounds. Through the unre- hitting efforts of the ladies the first teacherage in the state was establish ed there, and the idea has made the district rural community center.
 There is not disinterested home in the district" said Mrs. Peel, linen, women and children all feel as though they were a part of the great work. The roads in the district needed to be kept in good condition to bring the children to and from school, so every farm owner is more than glad to do his duty in road building.
 People have so long been accus- toned to think of the people who live in the country as having rural minds, that they have distinct rural person ality, but through the thoroughly we'll organized work of the Morning Star S. I. A., one can redily see that the rural people are not to be con- sidered in a class by themselves, but just another human being living closer to nature than their town friends"
 The money for the building was raised by the women in various ways, pie suppers, socials, and entertain ments. The school house was used during the summer by the twenty three active workers of the s. l. A. as a social and money making center. The building was started three weeks beofore school began, much of the work being donated by the men of the district. The lumber, paint, windows, doors, etc, cost $304. It is now all paid for except $50, which will be raised by serving dinners in Benton vile during Fair Week. There is five acres of ground in the tract, and it is being put to the best use.
 The teacherage is a cozy four-room front and rear porches and pantry. cottage, with concrete foundations, The school spirit of the community has thus been raised to a very high plane.

GRADUATING CLASS
HEARS FINE ADDRESS
BY BISHOP BROOKE
WHAT PURPOSE is OUR EDUcA.
TON HERE" SUBJECT OF
HIS SPEECH.
STAGES OF WOMAN's PROGRESS
Stated That He Believed That Ballot
in the Hands of the Women of the
Land Was Entirely Proper and
Benefit to the Nation.

Bishop Francis E. Brooke, of Okla
homa City, Oklahoma, delivered the
address to the graduating class of the
Columbia Institute this morning at II
o'clock in the recreation hall of the
building, and brought to a close the
eightieth year of the schools history.
DR.. Mercer P. Logan, rector of st.
Anne's church of Nashville, conduct
ed short devotional exercise, and
DR.. W. B. Capers, president of the In
stitute, in few choice remarks intro
duced the Bishop of Oklahoma, who
delivered mastery and fitting ad-
dress to the young ladies of the class,
He took as his subject, "What Pur-
pose Is Our Education Here?"
The bishop handled the subject in
manner that was unique in many re-
spects. He took the woman of the
present and compared her to the wo-
man of fifty to one hundred years ago.
He stated that she did not occupy the
position in the world now that man
at one time was wont to place her.
"She is and has been all the time one
of the most important factors in the
life of the nations, and the sooner the
world realizes this fact and the soon
er the women themselves realize the
fact the better prepared they will be
to meet the DAILY requirements that
are exacted of them, and more fully
will the men of the nation apprect.
ate them"
The bishop was of the opinion that
woman's rights were the proper
thing, and that even the ballot in wo-
mans hands would be and is proving
to be a great help to the society of
the nation.
He stated that while he believed in
higher college education and felt
sure that there were some in the
class today that would seek further
the learning of the text books of the
colleges, yet there we're still greater
things in store for the young lives
that were just commencing to bud
and bloom forth into this world. He
paid high tribute to the wives
and mothers of the nation, and said
that to be the head of household
was one OF Gods richest and great.
est blessings,
At the conclusion Of the bishops
address, President w. B. Capers,
awarded the diplomas, certificates
and medals. Rev. R. NJ w. Black
conducted a short devotional service
and Bishop Brooke pronounced the
benediction.

DON'T THINK MUCH
OF MERIDIAN LAND
JUDGE M'kNlGHT LIKES THEIR
ROADS BUT NOT THEIR
FARMS.

Judge J. Trim Mcknight, of the
county court, who recently returned
from an inspection of the county high
ways in Meridian, Miss, while very
much impressed with the highways Of
that section, is not at all enamored of
the agricultural resources. To illus
trate the esteem in which the lands
in that vicinity are held by the own
ers Judge Mcknight related a con-
versation that he heard between a
land owner and an automobile agent.
The agent was trying to sell $3.50
car and finally the prospective pur-
chaser offered to give a deed for 240
acres OF land for the car. Judge Nc
knight asked the agent why he did
not accept the offer and the latter
stated that he did not have the CAPT
tai to invest that much in lands, that
in time he thought that the land
would be worth the car or more, but
now a ready sale would be difficult to
find. For agricultural purposes the
genial county judge does not believe
that he would be willing to exchange
Maury county for all the country that
he saw from Decatur, Ala, to Bir-
mingham and to Meridian and then
around to Jackson, Miss, to the Ten
nessee river
