May Classify Relations.

New London, Conn.-villa's defeat
at chihuahua City, Mexico, by Gen.
Trevino will tend to clarity relations
between Mexico and the United States,
in the opinion of the Mexican represen-
tatives on the joint commission in ses-
sion here to formulate program for
maintaining order along the border.
The Mexican commissioners say that
If Villa had been located by the Chi
huahua battle the task of running him
down would be greatly simplified.
They suggest that If Gen. Pershing's
army in Mexico is withdrawn, Mex
ican force will take its place and pre-
vent Villa from raiding to the north
ward. The difficulty never had been
to fight Villa. they say. but to find
him.

6LED MANY POLITICIANS.
Alleged Gang of BiackmaiIers Cap
turned In Chicago BY Federal
Authorities.

Chicago.-Eight members of an al
legged blackmail gang charged with
using the beauty of their women mem
bers and the fascinating powers of
their male confederates to mulct the
wealthy men and women out of more
than $250000, are in custody of fed
eral authorities, and will be taken to
Philadelphia for trial. 1t is charged
that the chief offenses occurred in
that city.
The band, including five men and
three women, were arrested by de-
partment of justice officials in a fash
ionable south side apartment hotel.
They are accused of Fleeing men
and women of social prominence in
Chicago, Baltimore, New York and
Philadelphia through organized ef-
forts. Their scheme, according to Hin.
ton G. Clabaugh of the department of
justice, was to compromise their vic
tins and then blackmail them. I'm

men.

FARMERS INSTITUTE AND RALLY
AT DELTA EXPERIMENT FARM
WELL ATTENDED.
VIEWS SOIL BACTERIOLOGY
Soil Experts Lecture Soil Bacteri-
ology and Glover incubation.
Largest Attendance In
History of Institute.

Leland, Miss.-The farmers insti-
tute and rally at the delta experiment
farm at Stoneville was featured by
addresses by Prof. J. w. Fox of Stark
vile, on Cotton Growing Under Boil
Weevil Conditions" and an address
on the same subject by Prof T. c.
Barber of Tallulah, La.
The old-time cartoon picturing the
farmer with long, thin whiskers and
zone gallus." holding pitchfork in
hand, would be woefully out of place
at this institute, as the attendants
compare most favorably with con-
vention of any professional class, are
wide-awake and fully posted on the
live topics of the day. The large
crowd listened attentively to the dis
cussion on growing cotton under boil
weevil conditions by the experts, and
at the conclusion of each address they
began to rapidly fire questions at the
speakers. until a fuller discussion of
theory was necessary.
! Prof. Barber, one of the government
experts of the Mississippi Valley, who
has been studying conditions in Lou
isiana, discussed the spacing of cotton
rows and stated that the experiment
Of growing cotton in Louisiana under
boil weevil conditions, where space
of various widths had been allowed
between the rows, has proven that the
most beneficial results were obtained
with 1S-inch spaces.
Regardless of theory, it is the senti-
ment among the greatest number of
delta farmers in this section that the
only way to grow cotton under boil
weevil conditions is to prepare the
land early and plant an early matur-
ing variety. as proven here by the
above tests, where rapid and thorough
cultivators are factors when possible
to carry out.

Richmond, Va.-The Worcester Con-
tinentals of Massachusetts, arrived here
with a blood-stained drum, which
members of their regiment picked up
more than SO years ago from a battle
field near Winchester, Va, and which
they pressnted to the Confederate Me-
mortal Literary Society. The exer-
cises were held in the Confederate
Museum, the former white House"
of the Confederacy and Lieut.-Gov. J..
Taylor Ellyson, Confederate veteran,
presided. The presentation was made
by Col. Coss, and the drum accepted
by w. w. Scott, state law librarian.
and veteran of the Thirteenth Vir-
ginia Regiment, from which the drum
was captured.

NOTED LANDING ABANDONED
Historic Arkansas City Landing To
Be Abandoned BY River Packets
In the Future.

Memphis.-For the first time I'm
nearly half a century the whistle OF
the river packet will cease to be
heard at the landing at Arkansas
City after next Monday.
Arkansas City at one time was the
premier river landing between Mem
Iphis and New Orleans, and the famous
boats of the big transportation lines
all stopped at the wharf there. The
city was doubly important owing to
the fact the Memphis-Little Rock
boats brought business to Arkansas
City and much reshipment was done
at Arkansas City.
That town has perhaps as much his
torical and interesting atmosphere
about it as any place below Memphis
and the announcement OF its abandon
ment will cause .retrospection among
rivermen up and down the length Of
the river.
