M|STR|AL IS LIKELY
 IN THE PA|PRY CASE
Jury Sent to Hotel Last Night Apparently Hope
 lessly Divided

A mistrial will likely be entered in the Henry Paipry case in the first division of the criminal court, as the jury which re- tired at 12:so o'clock yesterday afternoon to decide the fate of the defendant is ap- parently hopelessly divided in opinion.
 James Hanby. leading counsel for Harry Paipry, was optimistic last night at the courthouse as to the result. He stated confidently that he expected an acquittal and at the worst it would only be mis- trial
 At o'clock last night the jurors were sent to hotel in charge of a deputy sheriff and 1t Is likely that they will be kept together until tomorrow morning unless they arrive at verdict before that time. sf
 Harry Paipry went on trial for the murder of Nick Gulas, prominent Greek Of Ensley, on Friday morning The talk ing of testimony was concluded Friday night and the arguments of the attor- neys began. Attorney White Gibson, representing the prosecution, pleaded for the death penalty as he claimed Gulas was shot down in cold blood and in the back of the head. James Hanby, counsel for the defense, however, argued that the defendant killed Gulas in self-defense as he was being attacked in his own store.
 Yesterday morning Ben Davis also spoke for the prosecution and was followed by Matt T. Murphy of the defense. Assistant Solicitor Walter s. Brewer closed for the prosecution by making an ardent plea for the conviction of the defendant.
 The charge of Judge William B. Fort was lengthy and covered every point in the testimony very closely. Judge Fort talked to the jury for upwards of one hour.

COLUMBUS, MISS.
Extensive Highway Improvements.
 Rural Schools Open Monday


 Columbus, Miss. October 26.-(Special) The public highway commissioners of the second supervisors district, which in- cludes Columbus, have contracted with $. E. Finley & Co. of Atlanta. Ga, to surface about five miles of military road With tavia and asphalt. one-half of the stretch to be improved being covered with each of these materials The total surface to be covered is about 369O square yards and the cost will be approximately $99o per mile.
 The portion of the highway to be thus improved is included in the route which Mississippians are seeking to have adopted for the proposed Jackson memo riai highway. and evidences the fact that Lowndes will have portion of the highway which passes through her con fines already complete when the con- struction of the trunk line is undertaken.
 Most of the rural schools throughout LoWndes county will on Monday open their doors for the session of 1915-16, and Superintendent of Education Nash an- nounces that the salaries of practically all the teachers will be cut. The mini mum salaries for the different teachers are fixed by law, but local authorities are permitted to pay more if they so de- sire, and for the past 10 years salaries paid pedagogues in this county have been in excess of the minimum Recently, however, many improvements in rural school buildings have been made and the surplus in the school fund has been com pletely wiped out hence a reduction in | salaries is necessary
 Next year a new enrolment will be made, and as the number will be much larger than ever before and the county receives $2.25 for every child of educablc age within it's borders, Professor Nash hopes that the amount will be sufficient to restore the same salaries that were be- ing paid before the cut was instituted.

Long Fingers Indicate a Dreamer

Long Fingers Indicate a Dreamer From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 When the long fingers taper on an oth- erwise square hand:
 People with such fingers have the power of intuition and the faculty o1 doing we'll everything that they start. Such man has grit and determination, common sense and straightness of mind and purpose. But he is also visionary, dreamy, imaginative person when he has the time and opportunity to allow him. self to become acquainted with his own nature. He thus combines the castle building nature, alive with vivid imagi- nations and unsatisfied longings for things not earthly, with that of a thoughtful, solid, methodical and otherwise world ly nature. In other words, he is the joining together of two widely opposite natures, with distinctly different traits This hand is found upon persons whom we call "hard to understand They are folk with idealism chained to practical sense. to, ordinary expression.
 Successful literary persons often have this hand and fingers. It then happens that one with ina ginative romantic power of insight Is at the same time able to bring his mental creations before the world in such a strong forcible and practical manner that it leads him to success.
 These people with their dreamy fingers and common sense palms. exert their power for the greatest good of all. for they are creators, either in music, art or literature. They bring their ''men- tai children" before all the world in such a way that they may be enjoyed by all.
 Not loving the artistic life and work because it 's art. but simply as the out ward expre ssion of the beautiful as seen by then, in their own individualities, it Is always their nature to care for only the niceties of existence. The graceful and beautiful alone appeal to them.

Horse Butcher in England

London, August 5.-(Special.) .)-The colonization of groups of Belgian refu- gees in various parts of England has brought with 1t the butcher shop for the sale of horse meat. The horse butcher has hitherto been almost un- known in England, except In a few of tho poorer quarters of London. Three horse meat shops have just been opened in Glasgow. Steaks are sold at 10 to 12 cents pound and sausages at 10 cents a pound. pickled and smoked cuts are 14 cents. A Belgian butcher shop at Stirling will give away sev- eral cart loads of horse meat to the English people of the town in the hope of popularizing their goods among a wider class. There are probably 20 horse butcher shops in London. Under the law, 1t is legal for any butcher to sell horse meat provided that a per- manent notice Is exhibited at the front of the shop to that effect and provided alto that the customers ask for or are informed that they are receiving such meat.

Bessemer, October 3-(Special. )-While the citizen committee in charge of the probe into police affairs of this city will not pass judgment upon members of the department until the defense has had an opportunity for rebuttal, the testimony thus far given by members of the department, by former members of the police force, by former prisoners and others tends to show an undesirable con- dition of affairs.
 The hearing was passed over Friday night until Chairman Lacey saw fit to call the committee together again. This was done to permit Attorney J. Reese Murray, counsel for the defense, to visit his mother. Many have asked the ques- ton, 'Who does MT. Murray represent?" This has not been answered direct. al- though at Friday nights hearing when Mir Murray agreed to the demand of So- licitor Ben G. Perry to join him in writ ing request to Inspector Turner Of the Birmingham police department to permit members of his department to testify be- fore the committee. MT. Murray's sigma ture to the letter was supplemented by that of A. D. Maddox, member of the Bessemer police force. who was mentioned in the grand jury report
 MT. Perry's question was, Will you and your clients join me in letter to Inspector Turner?" The signature to the letter would indicate that MT. Maddox engaged MT. Murray.
 Forced in New Committee
 The solicitors office, represented by MT. Perry. won big victory Thursday night when MT. Perry forced the police commit tee to step down and out, and name a committee of disinterested citizens to hear the testimony to be given. George Ross, president of the city council, refused to call a meeting of the council to name two members of the committed. notwithstand- ing the police committee had voted in favor of the resolution introduced by MT. Perry to that effect. Mir. Perry poured oil on the troubled waters by amending his resolution to permit the police com mittee to name two members of the com mittee. This was passed when Dr. J. s Winters broke a tie vote ana carried it Dr. Winters named the two committee men, and stepped down and out grace fully.

 The Balkan situation continues tense, with Bulgaria, the center of the political storm. She is reported to be moving troops to all her frontiers and giving other indications of an intention to act in the near future on the side of the central powers.

Telegraph company Judge Jones did not know who the parties were.
 A mild sensation was caused when At torney Murray questioned the propriety of introducing an affidavit from Officer T. E. Street of the Birmingham police force Mir Murray stated that Inspector Turner had told him that he would not permit MT. Street to attend the hearing in Bessemer Solicitor Perry stated that Inspector Turner told him that Mr. Street could attend the hearing, but that MT. Street was compelled to go to Athens where his grandchild was dead. The tilt between the two attorneys terminated when Mir. Murray agreed, under Perry s hammering, to join with him in writ ten request for the appearance of Officer Wade of the Birmingham police force st the investigation.
 MT. Murray has objected so frequently that he almost has formed a habit Of Jumping to his feet with the words, Walt minute; I object" every time Solicitor Perry puts question. And Perry has become so accustomed to the objections that he has formed a habit of pausing after each question and looking towards Mr. Murray. Tho objections of MT. Murray thus far all have been over ruled by the chair.
 It must be remembered that the testi- mony thus far only concerns the state s side of the case. The defense may offer several surprises in rebuttal. The cti- zens committee Is sitting tight and await ing the testimony of the defense. It is expected the committee will be called together again the latter part of the week. The state will close its case with few more witnesses and the de- fense will begin. Attorney Murray ha6 given no intimation of what he will of fer in defense.
 Meantime, the crowds attending the hearing appear to be on the side of So- licitor Perry and City Attorney George Bumgardner. These two are cheered al the slightest provocation, and the wit nesses who make statements derogatory to those connected with the present state of affairs.
