Mexico until terms and conditions reia-
tive to an agreement were defined
The note declares, therefore, that in
consequence OF no final agreement hav-
ing been reached as 10 the terms OF the
treaty to regulate the reciprocal pass-
age OF troops over the dividing line
the Mexican government Judges if
convenient to suspend for the nresenf

ticular or founded on the cfrcumstan noes
that the expedition sent by the United
States government to pursue Villa is
without foundation, in virtue of the
nonexistence Of previous agreement
formal and definite"
Referred to Repetition of Raid.
What was intended by the note oF
March 10, il is pointed out, was to sub
nit a proposal "by means Of which the
forces Of one and the other country
could reciprocally cross the dividing
line in pursuit Of bandits if unfortu-
nately there should be repeated along
the border acts like those committed
in Columbus.
The note adds, however:
From the beginning the Mexican
government judged that by reason of
time which has transpired and for the
purpose OF treating a case already
Dassed the said incident could not con-
tinue as a proposal for the reciprocal
passage Of troops"
The fact that the United States had
incorrectly interpreted the note of
March 10 was called TO the attention
of the Washington government, the
statement points out, in a note dated
March Il. This note likewise empha-
sized that the passage Of troops would
be permitted only IL, unfortunately,

WILSON TO SPEAK
SENATE, BY A VOTE OF 40 TO I,
WANTS TO HEAR PRESIDENTS
DEFENSE PROGRAM.

jackson, Miss, Jan. 26.-Following
q brief but acrimonious debate the,
Mississippi senate yesterday by vote
of 40 to / concurred in the house
resolution passed last week, inviting
President Woodrow Wilson to come
here and make an address to the law
makers while they are in session. The
date was left open for the President
TO signify what time would be con
venient if he could accept.
When the resolution was read Sena-
tor Thompson, of Lauderdale, sprang
to his feet. I'm not for prepared
ness" he declared, "the very thought
of war gives me a shiver through my
marrow"
Senator Thompson halls from sec
tion of the state represented in the
National Congress by the late Samuel
A. Witherspoon, an avowed opponent,
with Senator Vardaman, of Mississip-
pi, of the Wilson preparedness policy.
Judge w. w. Venable, running openly
on platform of preparedness"
openly avowed his sympathy with
President Wilson in the matter, won
the race to succeed Representative
Witherspoon.
Several senators in the Mississippi
body yesterday wanted to include Will
liam j. Bryan in the invitation, but
an amendment to that effect was
withdrawn after being offered.
On the final vote Senator Thompson
was the sole objector to the invita-
tion to invite the President to come
before the Legislature. Senator Thomp-
son intimated that he thought the
President was planning Southern
tour ito pump a little preparedness

New Orleans over the Northeastern,

supposed the young man boarded

saw him either get on the train, or
after he had boarded it.

sailing on cattle boat soon to leave
that port for Europe.

him. 1t has been suggested to me
that the club should take no part in
politics of any kind
Several members stated that they
failed to see how the club would be
getting into politics by inviting Mr
Williams here, even if he is a guber-
material candidate. But when it was
explained that the club was asked to
secure the Auditorium for him on the
day in question, it then was voted to
leave the matter with the individuals
with whom Mr.. Williams has been
comforting.
On motion made by Prof. F.. B.
Woodley the club voted to have the
president designate five members for
each meeting, these to make ad-
dresses not exceeding in length 10
minutes each, on subjects of interest
to the club.
President Hannah announced that
the membership campaign has result
ed in securing 80 names for the club.
The question of establishing cream
cry in Hattiesburg also was discussed.
The club unanimously adopted the
following resolutions regarding the
death of Ben NJ. Foster former
member of the board of directors of
the organization:
Whereas, Ben M. Foster, a director
of the 'Hattiesburg Commercial Club
was killed by bullet from pistol
in the hands of demented man in
Baton Rouge, La, Wednesday, Decem-
ber %, 1915, and, whereas, he was a
clear, useful, honest capable man,
one so strong and pure that he could
say, truly, with Sir Galahad,-
My strength is as the strength of ten
Because my heart is pure.
,, Be it Resolved That this club has
| lost wise counselor, an enthusiastic
worker, and model member.
Second.-That the city of Hatties-
burg, the county of Forrest, and the
state of Mississippi, has each sustain
ed. in his untimely death, an irrepar-
able loss. He was no alien; our inter.
ests were his. He gave his means
and influence, unstintedly, for the
promotion of any and every enter
prise having for its purpose the better
ment of his people. He was citizen
whose character was without blem-
ish; whose love for right and truth
knew no bounds; whose example in
right living will be blessing and a
rich heritage not only to his bereaved
family, but to all men.

Those electesl win take office on Jann.
Iary |, 1916. 1t is said that fight
to have special elections earlier will
be brought on, but this, up to date, is
only rumor.
The Supreme Court judges will draw
salaries of $500 year. Those row
serving will continue in office until the
respiration of the terms which they
were appointed to fill, but after that
they must be elected by the people.
All three of the new judges are well
known in Mississippi. Mr.. Potter was
the father Of the amendments relating
to the Supreme Court changes, and has
been in the state Senate eight years,
introducing many constructive meas
ures which passed and stood the test
of the constitution. He is 36 years of
age and unmarried.
Mr.. Sykes is an able attorney of
North Mississippi, and about 40 years
OF age.
Judge Holden formerly was mayor
of Summit. He was elected county at
torney of Pike in 1911, and is now serv-
ing as Judge of the fourteenth circuit
district. He was born in Franklin
county, spent part of his life in Texas,
and then returned to his native state,
where he has been successful attor-
ney and popular Judge.
The Mississippi state Senate, at its
afternoon session Tuesday, passed the
Boddie bill, allowing compensation
of Is cents per package of liquor to
circuit court clerks who are compelled,
under the May-Mott-Lewis gallon-at-a-
time liquor law, passed in 1914. to keep
record of all certificates which re-
cipients of shipments of whiskey and
beer are required to sign and file with
the clerks.
The bill provides that fee of 10
cents for each certificate be paid to
the clerk, the fee to be paid by the in
dividual or firm furnishing the certifi.
cate.
The debate was rather spirited on
the bill, Senator Wilmington declaring
that it seemed inconsistent with the
declared policy of abolishing all Off
cal fees. Efforts to indefinitely post
pone the measure failed Mr.. Whit
ting ton led the fight on the bill, while
it was championed by Mr.. Boddie, who
thought if clerk was required to do
this extra work, he should be paid for
it.
- The bill passed by vote of 23 to 1S.
Senator Wilmington entered a motion
to reconsider.
The afternoon session of the Senate
was long drawn out, because the read
ing of the Supreme Court constitu-
tional amendments embodied in the
House concurrent resolution took a
great deal of time.
The resolutions finally were read
and voted into the constitution, ending
long fight of two years to get these
radical changes into the organic law
OF the state.
