blind PIANIST IS
COMING HERE SOON

Announcement of much interest to
Hattiesburg music lovers is that the
famous blind pianist, Edward Baxter
Perry, will appear here on February
25 under the auspicesi of MISS Ethel
Powe's piano classes. tsfsu Il tsss s,.
The place of the attraction has not
been announced yet, but Miss Powe's
students are already selling tickets
and are meeting with much encour-
agement. Although Mr.. Perry is in
the front ranks. of his profession and
prices ranging from 81 up are nearly
always charged to hear him, Miss
Powe has determined to put the ad-
mission fee down to fifty cents so that
all may have an opportunity to hear
this gifted artist.
Following are some press comments
ron Mr.. Perry showing the high esteem
with which he is held in the musical
world.
Last evening Mr.. e. Baxter Perry
Of Boston, gave a program which
taxed every resource of the modern
virtuoso, and showed technical grasr
land scholarliness seldom equalled
even in these days when the piano
lis supposed to have yielded all its Sc
crets. He is entitled to a high ranh
among the great players of the world

LEAGUE IS FORMED
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Laurel, where Mr.. Williams will make
two addresses today.
The resolutions adopted were as
follows:
Resolved, That this league goes on
record as condemning the shyster law
yer, better known as the ambulance
chaser. This league has the most pro-
found respect for the honorable pro-
fession of law, and we feel that an
upright, honest lawyer is great bless
ing to the country and is most de-
sirable and useful citizen. On the
other hand, all good citizens have no
respect nor confidence in the lawyer
known as the ambulance chaser. He
is thorn in the flesh of good society,
who stirs up strife and hatred in the
community in which he lives He is
a being who resorts to blackmailing
pure and simple, and often the good
citizen is at his mercy. We appeal
to the Bar Association to get rid of
him"
Whereas, we believe that unjust
laws are on our statute books that do
not deal as fairly with capital and
corporations as they do with individ.
uals; the acts and practices of fee
grabbers have made capital feel that
1t is unwelcome and not safe in Mis-
sippi; we believe that the fee system
of paying public officials is wasting
the peoples money and causing the
filing of many unjust lawsuits, which
in many cases are filed without merit
with the hope of effecting compro
mise for blood money more with the
desire to fatten the pocketbook of of
ficials than for the good of the state;
we have just listened with pleasure tc
the address of Cliff Williams, chair
man of the Mississippi Progressive
League, who is making addresses ovel
the state in an effort to create a senti
ment for better laws; therefore be il
Resolved, That the people of Hat
tiesburg, Forrest county, endorse the
principles of the Mississippi Progress
sive League, as stated In the address
of Mr. Williams, and as further en-
dorsement and appreciation, be it
Resolved. That we form leagu,
at Hattiesburg to be known as thu
Forrest county branch of the Missis
sippf Progressive League, to cooper
ate with the Meridian league in tn,
fight that is being made for bettel
laws.
Resolved, further, That this league
go on record as condemning the fe,
system laws and other laws inimica
to the, material development of thu
state and that this body urgently re
quest the members of the. present leg
islature ito, repeal the fee system laws
both state and county, at this sitting
of the. legislature, as we believe tn,
sooner the law is repealed the bette
it will be for the state.'
The following resolution was passed
regarding the jury system:
Whereas, The jury verdicts in dam
age suits have given our state an un
enviable reputation in other parts o
the country, making financiers ant
people who have money to inves
afraid to build factories and railroad
here, because they feel, from the pas
history Of jury yerdicts, that as I

pany here for long time before her
marriage.
The following dispatch from Seattle
has been received by Mrs. Glaser's
brother, M. NJ. Morgan, in this city:
A masked robber, who is believed to
have obtained the pass key used by
the night elevator boy in admitting
careless guests to their apartments,
entered the quarters occupied by Peter
Glaser and his wife and baby on the
third floor of the Martinique Apart
ments, Eighth avenue at Union street,
at IL o'clock last night and compelled
Mrs. Glaser to give up the valuables
she had in her possession. The ma
rauder then made his way from the
apartment house without being de-
tected.
Glaser, who is employed at night,
was absent from his home as usual
Mrs. Glaser had retired with her baby,
not yet year old, and was sleeping,
when she was awakened by flash of
| light as the masked intruder turned
on the lights in the room.
Keep quiet and produce your
money" the man commanded, leveling
a pistol at the frightened woman. Mrs.
Glaser began pleading with him not
to injure her baby, but was gruffly
commanded to keep quiet and tell
where her money and jewelry were
hidden.
The intruder, following her direc
tions, found her purse in its hiding
place and, after taking the money II
contained, as well as three valuable
rings, departed with the assertion thai
he would remain near at hand and Il
she raised an outcry, he would return
and kill both woman and child
Investigation developed that the
man managed to escape from thu
building without being seen. Mrs
Glaser was too frightened to give al
estimate of her losses, but her hus
band declared she did not lose more
than $25 and her rings

and,
Whereas, unless the sentiment to-.
ward capital is changed there will be
no more factories and railroads built
in Mississippi; therefore,
Be it resolved, That we implore the
boards Of supervisors to select. none
but good, intelligent men to sit on
juries, and that they disdain from a
habit that is common over the state,
that is of putting JOB hunters ON the
juries, without respect to their qualifi-
cations, which practice is often just
for the sake of paying some political
debt.
Resolved, further, we do not think
it fair to try a farmer by twelve rail
road men or city factory men, becaues
they are not familiar with farming,
cows, bitches, fences and boundary
lines, nor do we think it fair for rail
road men and factory men to be tried
by farmers, because they are not fa
miliar with railroading and manufac
turing. We think that men who sit
on juries should be familiar with the
nature of the subject at stake and that
it would be fair and right for the
iuries to be mixed. We believe that
the state needs reform in the jury
system, as many excessive and unjust
verdicts have been rendered that are
a shame on the face of our state"
