PEACE NEAR IN EUROPE
SAY REPORTS FROM ROME
Rumors of War Ending are Civ
en- Credence in High Official
Circles.


Rome, April ~. Within the
last twenty four hours persistent
reports have arisen here that a
general peace in Europe may be
concluded at no distant date. The
reports cannot at present be
ascribed to any definite source.
but are reflected in high quarters
and are given heed by careful
observers of international pol
itics.
1t is pointed out that Rore is
an excellent field for the conduct
of peace negotiations, as Prince
Won Bulow, one Of the ablest
German diplomats, is here as am.
bassador to Italy, while the off
cial relations between Italy and
Germany, as well as between
Italy and the triple entente are
cordial.
In certain quarters here the
idea prevails that the advent of
spring has not seen such pre-
sumption of aggressive hostilities
as had been promised. That is
regarded as significant.

MISS ORR OElIVf RS AN
ADDRESS IN yAzOO CITY
Columbus Lady is Heard by
Large Crowd on the Suffrage
Question.

The following from the Yazoo
City Sentinel will be read with
much interest by the many
friends of Miss Orr, in this city.
Monday night the City Hall
was well filled with an in crested
audience to hear Miss Pauline Y
Orr. of Columbus. Miss, deliver
her magnificent asd convincing
talk on why women should have
the ballot.
Hon. Il. X. Holmes, one Of
the foremost attorneys of the
State. introduced Miss Orr in a
happy and appropriate manner.
Mr.. Holmes gave forth an un-
certain sound as to the justice Of
the women's plea, and it was
nothing more than those who
know him expected from this
broad-minded and brainy young
man, in opening the way for the
brilliant woman who was to fol-
low him.
miss Orr. in a perfectly natp.
raj way delivered one of the most
clear-cut and logical recitals of
the part that women have played
in the building and developing of
the nations, and why women
have not felt the need of the
ballot and have been so tardy in
asking for it. Then the part wo-
men took in industrial develop
ment was reviewed, showing
how she had by the evolution of
civilization been transformed
from producer to a spt nder,
and in this she must be clothed
with authority so that the wealth
of the world will be spent with
an eye single to the very best re-
suits in all lines.
1T was clearly shown that in
the States where they have had
the enfranchlsement that there
are many good things enjoyed
by the people at large and none
of the calamities that the oppo,
nents of the cause predicted. She

FRANK NOW HAS
BUT LITTLE HOPE
Is Refused m Appeal by the
United States Supreme
Court
HABEAs CORPUS SOUGHT
Only Possibility of Pard, n
Will BE Decision on Part Of
Georgia Governor.

Washington. April 10. The
supreme court today held that
the state of Georgia had denied
Leo Frank no right under the
federal constitution in sentenc-
ing him to death for the murder
of Mary Phagan, The court af-
tirmed the action of the federal
district court for northern Geor-
gia refusing to release Frank on
writ of habeas corpus, Justice
Pitney announcing the opinion.
Justice Holmes delivered a dis
senting opinion in which Justice
Hughes concurred.
This decision, it is believed
here, exhausts all means of fight
ing the courts to save Franks
life. His attorneys. however,
will have 80 days in which to file
an application for a rehearing.
At the end of that time apparent
lv only the possibility of a pardon
will be between the prisoner and
death.
The habeas corpus proceedings
rested on the claim that the trial
court had lost jurisdiction over
the prisoner "by reason Of mob
domination" during the trial and
by Franks involuntary absence
at the time the verdict was rem
dered. 1t was claimed this denied
him due process" as guaran-
teed by the federal constitution.

GREAT Event IN THt MUSICAL HISTORY

Instructor, Will Accom-
pany Players.
MANY VISITORS ARE EXPECTED HERE
People From Surrounding Cities
Will Be In Columbus For
the Attraction.
liAY VISITORS ARE EXPECTED HERE

A great treat will be given 10
the citiz ms of this city and sur
rounding section this afternoon
and evening when the New York
Symphony orchestra. directed by
Walter Damrosch will be heard in
the chapel Of the Industrial Insti-
tute and College. The matinee
will take place at 3 O'Clock and
the night concert will be given
al $50 o'clock.
Many visitors are expected
here for this attraction.
The New York Symphony Or
chestra was founded in 1878 by
DR.. Leopold Damrosch. the illus
trious pioneer of music in Amer
lea, and conducted by him until
his death in 1885. Elected to the
position thus left vacant, Walter
Damrosch for thirty years has
carried on the work begun by his
father, so that the destinies of
the orchestra have always re-
NAMED identified with the name
of its founder.
The future of the orchestra
was definitely assured last spring
when the announcement was
made that Mr.. Harry Harkness
Flagler, a highly gifted and ac-
complished musical amateur, en-
dowed the organization with an
income of 100000. This stu
pendous gift is one of the great
events in the musical history of
America. and is far reaching in
its influence on the future devel-
opment of music not only in New
York but the country at large.
The members of the orchestra
are the foremost players of their

themselves as being converted TO
her cause, while others like
Agrippa of old said Almost thou

Those who took advantage of
this occasion to hear the subject
felt that they had indeed been
given a real intellectual feast.
Miss Orr, one OF Mississippi's
own daughters, so plainly and
clearly and withal so simply and
with ease, modesty and refine
