A party of eight prominent Mississippi educators, headed by Governor Bilbo, has just returned from tour of the larger colleges in the northwest, visiting Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa on their tour. The object of this visit was to acquaint themselves with the way in which state institutions of learning are managed in other states with view to the introduce ton of best methods in this. They found that all other states pay much larger salaries for teachers and heads of such institutions-three times as great in most instances, but that the cost per student is also much greater, as $10 pays all ex- penses here, while $20 to $25 is the rule in the northwest. Prof w. H. Smith, state superintendent of education, who was one of the party, declares that the visit to these great colleges was pleasant and profitable, as he expects to incorporate and adopt many excellent ideas gathered on the trip.

GETS S75 FOR DOSE

During the past two or three years the supreme court of Mississippi has been called on to decide whether or not indi- viduals were damaged by drinking from bottles in which a dead mouse was found after drinking, and in both instances the victims being made sick. In the first case Jackson telegraph messenger boy was given damages in the sum of $75 for his dose, but in the other cases, decided this week, a Meridian man named Hicks, recovered nothing, though he is said to have swallowed mouse and all. The trouble in the Hicks case was, however that he had brought suit against the manufacturers instead of the dealer This mouse business is getting to be se- rious," says a Jackson dealer in soft drinks, "as every man who comes in to drink a bottle these days holds it up to the light to see if there is a pickled mouse mixed up in it." Just how the mice got in the bottles has never been explained.

STATE CONVENTION

Anti-Bilbo Faction Claims
 Control of State Commit tee-To Have Lime Rock Crushing Plants at Last
Rv E. E. FRANZ

Jackson, Miss, May N.-(Speclal.)-Be- fore the end of another year Mississippi will boast two handsome state capitol buildings instead of one. Twelve years ago when the old capitol, erected In lo3l' was abandoned to the bats and owls and the elements, it was thought 1t would considerable portion of the roof mas fallen in, but the old walls stand like the Rock of Gibraltar, and the legislature or last winter. under the political lash of Governor Bilbo and the demands or the women of the state, made an approprla- ton of $125O0O for restoration of the his- toric old piIe-one whose rafters had been shaken by the eloquence of Prentiss and Jefferson Davis, Lamar, George and others of national character, and where much history had been made by seces- sion and other conventions
 Theo Link, the St. Louis architect who built the new capitol within the appro- priation of $1O,00O,0O0, was sent for, and after looking over the venerable building, declared he could make it about as good as new for $125,OOO, his plan being to con- struct an inside lining of steel to which he will tie the old walls in such way that they cannot fall. The plans call for about 25 large office rooms, and in these several of the departments of the state government will be installed, thus relieving the over-crowded condition in the new capitol, caused by the creation of several new offices since the new building was completed
 MT. Link is here now discussing plans with the capitol commissioners, and states that he will be ready to get to work in about three months, or as soon as he can have the steel work delivered. The old building has been swept and cleaned from cellar to dome by a gang of state convicts, and convict labor will be used to do all the rough work when operations actually begin.

HUSBAND WINS HIS SUIT
AGAINST WIFE FOR $3.50
Justice Siddons Rules That It Is
Permissible for Spouses
to Sue Each Other.

The question of whether or not q
husband can sue his wife in a court of
law has been decided in the Affirmative
by Justice Siddons Of the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia, pre-
siding over the trial of cases on ap-
peal from the Municipal Court. In the
case Of Harry Grades against Hannah
Grades the husband filed his suit in
the Municipal Court against his wife
on her promissory note in the amount
Of $3.50. The wife pleaded that the law
does not permit a husband to sue his
wife on a contract in a court of law,
and this contention was upheld by the
Judge who tried the case in the Mu-
nicipal Court.
The husband took an appeal to the
Supreme Court of the District, where
Justice Siddons, overruliHs the holding
of the Municipal Court, decided that
the fiction of the unity Of husband and
wife had been so far abrogated by
recent legislation by Congress that
there 10 no barrier against the husband
suing his wife or the wife suing the
husband at law for the protection or
enforcement Of property rights, and a
verdict was rendered in favor of the
husband in the amount of $3.50.
The husband was represented by At
torney Mark Stearman, and the wife
by Attorneys Darr. Peyser & Koenigs-
berger.

With Changes.

a system of land banks. drafted by a
joint congressional committee. was IA
vorably reported today to the Senate.

federal farm loan bureau. under the
general supervision of a federal farm
loan board. the latter consisting of the
Secretary Of the Treasury and four pres

ment of twelve sectional federal land
