Jackson. Miss, March 1.-THE
House of Representatives yesterday
afternoon firmly declined to tinker
with the Mortmain sections of. the
constitution, prohibiting the willing
of money or property to any church,
fraternal organization or religious So
ciety when the special order, consid-
GRAFTON of the Robertson constitutional
amendment to repeal the sections.
was called up.
Later in the day the House passed
the Hewitt highway commission bill,
which, a few weeks ago, was recon-
mitted to save it from defeat. This
time the measure had fairer sailing
in the lower body. and passed by a
big majority after several amend
ments were inserted, among them one
by Mr.. Gore that if any bond issue
was contemplated under the measure
such bond issue first must be ratified
by the people.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment by the Governor of three men,
one from each supreme court district
TO compose the commission, who, with
an engineer, will have supervision of
highway construction in the state. At
the morning session Governor Bilbo,
in his speech on the financial condi-
ton of the state, advocated the pass
age of the measure.
When the Robertson concurrent
resolution was called up the author
took the floor to explain the Mortmain
sections, saying there was now no
condition prevailing which made the
law desirable. Mr. Norwood offered
q substitute drawn by himself and Mr..
Bailey, of Lauderdale. providing that
requests to religious organizations be
valid if made by will year before the
death of the testator. Mr.. Robertson
offered a substitute to the substitute.

by Brandeis.
Planned Securities Company.
This plan. as described by Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, was to form a securities com.
pany, Offering the old stockholders
the first chance to subscribe and di-
viding among them as a bonus $4,000
shares of Old Dominion stock free of
charge
Mr. McClennen read a letter from
Mr.. Brandeis to Mr.. Fitzgerald, stating
that Mr. Brandeis as counsel for the
Old Dominion Company had no power
to issue statements to stockholders.
In his letter Mr. Brandeis also
pointed out that under the cOnsOlida-
ton stockholders of the Old DOMAIN.
ion would profit more largely than
they had in the past.
Mr.. Brandeis asserted in the let.
ter that the Old Dominion property
had earned nothing in the past eight
years, and that even the rumor of
consolidation had caused the stock
to jump from Sc to $12. It's par value
was $25.'

Former Secretary of War Garrison
urged strongly the need for passing
the Shields bill. Other prominent
men have given their approval to
these conservation measures. One of
the few sources of strong opposition
is reported to be certain groups of
big corporations which now have a
monopoly of power in their territory
and which are opposing development
which might lead to competition and
possible reduction in power prices.
Engineers, bankers, chemists.
business men and others who know
the practical side of the water power
business have told congressional
committees that the reason America
has none of these new industries ard
the reason why seventy percent OF
our water powers are running to
waste is because the present laws do
not offer terms upon which American
investors are willing to put their.
money into these enterprises. Pend
ing legislation, they say, will, il
passed. furnish the necessary incen-'
tive to capital.
Those in charge of the legislation
say they are encouraged greatly
over the letters that farmers and
other citizens are writing TO thlv
Senators and Congressman in favt
of these bills
