Attend Funeral Of
Miss Ethel Watkins
BODY is ACCOMPANIED TO CITY
CEMETERY WHERE 1T is
INFERRED.

! One of the largest crowds that ever
has attended a funeral service at the
Main Street Baptist Church, was that

paid its last tribute of respect to Miss
Ethel Watkins, the 17-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. M Watkins,
who died at the South Mississippi In
f1rmary early Saturday morning after
months illness.
The high regard in which the young

concourse of people which packed the
church during the services, and later
accompanied the body to the City
Cemetery where the interment was
made.
The cortege left the Watkins resi-
dence at 2:30 o'clock The services
began half an hour later. The casket
was covered with floral designs, and
large mounds of them were banked
behind it. A special musical service
was rendered, it being in charge of
T. S. Jackson and Mr.. and Mrs. M. D.
Wade.
A large section of the church was
reserved for the Woman's College, OF
which Miss Watkins was a student
before her illness and for the members
of the Hattiesburg bar, of which her
father was a member. The social as
sociates entered the church first, and
were followed by the Forrest county
associates of her father.
The Rev. E. D. Solomon, pastor of
the church, delivered an unusually i'm
pressive funeral sermon. using no par
ticular text, but taking as illustrations,
the Biblical stories of the death of
David's child, and that of Lazarus.
Special cars were required to carry

Thomas NJ. Fuller, former Mayor
Commissioner, and for the last three
years postmaster il Hattiesburg, is
at the South Mississippi Infirmary
today in a serious condition with a
complication of kidney disease and
stomach troubles.
1t was reported this afternoon that
he was resting easier, and that his i'm
prOvement has been marked since
morning. When taken to the infirm-
airy last night, however, his condition
was alarming. At first it was feared
that an operation would be necessary,
but realizing his weak condition, his
physicians fought against the ordeal.
1t was definitely decided today, how
ever, that an operation would not be
necessary at this time, and it is hoped
that one will not have to be under

Mr.. Fuller is one of the best
known and most liked men in Hatt1eS-
burg. Since July 1, 1912, he has been
postmaster of Hattiesburg. Prior to
that, he served one term as mayor of
the city, and preceding that, he was
agent for the New Orleans & North

Mr.. Fuller has suffered with the
trouble which resulted in his being TAX

and not until Friday did he become

He spent all day Saturday in bed, and
yesterday his condition became so bad
that his physician had him removed

Laurel, were notified, and came to

fathers residence on Short Bay street,
with the daughters who make their
home with their father.

United States Supreme Court this aft
ernoon decided against Leo Frank In

sion, declaring that Gin ali proceedings
in the courts of Georgia, the fullest
rights and opportunities to be heard
according to the established modes of
procedure have been accorded
Frank.
Justice Holmes and Justice Hughes
dissented.
Leo NJ. Franks fight for life has
taken place among the celebrated
murder trials of recent years. Three
times the Supreme Court OF Georgia
has refused to interfere with the sem
tence of death. Two appeals were
made to the Supreme Court of the
United States. The first was unsuc-
cessful; the second resulted in the
decision today.
Frank, young man of education,
whose home had been in Brooklyn, N
Y, was superintendent of a pencil fac
tory in Atlanta, Ca, when Mary Pha.
gan was murdered on April 26, 1913;
Mary Phagan was fourteen years old
and pretty. Her body was found in
the cellar of the pencil factory with
cord tied about her neck and physi-
clans testified at the trial that she
had been choked to death after an at
tempt at assault
Jim Conley, a negro sweeper at the
factory, the prosecutions chief wit

upon the negro's testimony
a jury returned verdict of guilty.
