MANY CASES DETECTED

Many cases Of the detection OF in
genious incendlary crimes are related
in the annual report of Fire Commits

morrow.
Formerly the arson report OF the Fire
Department has contained only statis-
tics concerning the number OF arrests,
convictions and other data. but this year
several unusual crimes are made public

The total number OF convictions for
arson in 1914 was 81, as against 81 in
1913. The reduction Is accounted for
by the fact that many professional fire.
bugs who operated In the city had been
convicted previously and the number Of
incendiaIy crimes materially reduced.

MISSISSIPPI IS SAFE.
Tax Law said TO he as Effective "a
Grandfather Clause.

JACKSON. Miss. June 21-The de-
cision OF the United states Supreme
Court in the Oklahoma and Maryland
election cases will not affect Mississippi,
her Constitution builders having steered
clear OF all such breakers as the
grandfather clause" basing the right
of suffrage on what is known as an
educational qualification and which
years ago stood the assaults Of Senator
IIoar OF Massa chusetts and others.
Section 2N OF the Constitution OF
Mississippi reads:

ans not taxed. who Is a citizen of the

fences. perjury, forgery. embezzlement

CURED OF him and which he has had an
opportunity of paying according TO law

This section cuts out thousands OF
voters--Just such voters as the grand
father clause was designed to catch.
The ignorant and the vicious element
will not pay their taxes for two years
prior TO the election.
The Supreme Cour Of the United
States in Williams vs.. Mississippi held
that this section does not violate the
Constitution OF the United States. In
the same case Il was held that Missis-

the lower East Side a social centre for
Ruman!an Jews. of whom there are
