Douglas Fairbanks seems destined
to score another immense success in
his new Aircraft photoplay, He
Come Up Smiling" which will be the
attraction at the Elko theatre to-
night and tomorrow. "He Comes Up

Of story so mirth-provoking that

LEAGUE PROPOSED
FOR STATE UPl|F1
Promotion OF Welfare of People of
Mississippi Aimed at In Forma-
ton OF a Central Body.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. l1.--A group
of men concerned in the public life
and well-being OF Mississippi, and
believing that the interests of the state
can be permanently advanced only
by lettering the conditions of the
people of the state, have proposed a
form OF organization. to be known
as The Mississippi Welfare league, the
object of which is stated to be: The
promotion of the general welfare OF
all the people Of Mississippi by means
OF broader and wiser education for all
the children of the state: by the gem
eral betterment Of the conditions I'M
der which many OF our people live
both in country and town; by devel-
oping greater respect for the law, and
securing its better enforcement; To
the final end that all our people may
the more fully enjoy and appreciate
the common blessings of life liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. 1t is
realized that these aims, fundamental
as they are to the civic life of the
state. can be accomplished only by de-
veloping a public sentiment which
shall secure and maintain them. II
Is therefore the hope and purpose
OF this association to Cooperate with
and eventually to serve as clearing
house for all the non-political bodies
IN MISSISSIPPI which seek to promote
public opinion toward the achieve.
ment of objects in common with Its
own. The league is to be supported by
voluntary contributions.
The chairmen Of the several com
mittees. together with the officers OF
the league. shall constitute the execu.
tive committee. All acts OF the execu.
tive committee shall be subject to re.
view by the board Of directors. which
shall consist OF the officers OF the
league, together with the mem bers Of
it's several standing committees.

PRELIMINARY PEACE


All this liz very well, but II does not
concern a preliminary peace. These
disarmaments. these excavations, and
the temporary occupations will in no
way limit Germany's future freedom
of diplomatic augmentation.
Consequently. IL we stopped there
nothing definite would be accomplish
ed---which would be quite pitiful after
so much talk of u definite solution.
What might be more pitifui would
be seeing arise from all these words
a dangerous Illusion. namely, that a
truly decisive result had been accom- .
plished, that disarmed Germany had
lost all her sting. A false security
springing from such an illusion would
permeate the work of peace and We
would risk a sudden brutal awaken
ing
The best artisans OF future inter
national concord are those who seek
to guarantee it against the hazard Of
a preliminary settlement that Is un-
sufficient and too long delayed.

JAILOR ON JOB PREVENTS
THREE JAIL DE.LIVERIFx

Stanton, Va. Feb. 14.-Had 1t not
been for the sIeuthing ear of Tailor
John c. Fretwell and the unsympa-
thetc attitude of certain fellow pris-
oners, 1t is very probable that Alfred
T. Lewis and william McComb. "the
New Jersey business men" who were
recently indicted by the special grand
jury for violation of the state liquor
| laws and for grand larceny, would be
free men today.
For evidence uncovered Tuesday, II
is asser ted, shows that the two men,
along with Eulis Bowling, alias Silas
Rootley, colored, who were at work
on a systematic "bar-eawing'' plan
for Jail delivery. As 1t happened
the plotters were apprehended. and
McComb and Bowling are now in soli-
tary confinement in death cells on
the top floor Of the Jail.
Hearing peculiar noises, Tailor Fret
well. on Tuesday. in company with
Officer w. p. Davis, made investiga-
tons which resulted in The discovery.
Thought the plot in all It's details has
not yet been fully revealed. according
to the best and most plausible story
that can be built upon the statements
OF those involved, Euiis Bowling, who
IA under sentence to serve eight years
for the shooting and killing of James
Riley. also colored. was short Of funds
and more or less respondent over the
future.
White prisoners al the Jail occupy
the middle or ground moor. while the
negroes are kept in the lower floor,
below the street level It r. said that,
according to his own statement, Bow
ling passed note up to McComb Of
fering to effect a getaway for the sum
Of &25. McComb, 1t seems, was wise
enough not to indulge In correspond
ence. but called to Bowling. saying
that he was low in finances but that
he would give him SIS. third OF
which sum was to be paid At once
and the balance after the escape.
It Is said that McComb then pro-
ceeded to pass a saw and new
pocket knife to Bowling. but that the
tools were intercepted BY another ne
gro mot IN sympathy with their plans.

fore the people by holding mass meet
ings in various communities In order
that they may thoroughly understand
the situation. For, said the city's
chief executive, the city will have to
have more money unless certain de-
partments are eliminated or others
curtailed to a certain extent.
AINSLIE MAKES CLEAR
In order that council might fully
understand the situation, the mayor
took for example the amount of
money required for the running ex-
lpenses of the public utilities during
the coming year. Director Trafford
in his budget has asked for over
$500. 900 and this amount would result
in deficit of s56,4S6 in the budget
as it has been outlined. The budgets
of the other city departments also
will have to be taken care of.
Several suggestions were presented,
chief of which was the elimination
,of the school allotment from the bud
Iget and the money for schools be
secured by special tax of five mills.
This method was not decided upon
definitely, however. and VIII be
threshed out later when the mayor
recommends a budget to the council.
1t was upon the suggestion of VII
liam II. Adams, president of the board
of aldermen. that council agreed to
have the mayor draw up a tentative
burget, stating how much was need
ed for the city. and submit it to the
city fathers. President Adams also
advocated that the mayor send to
the council his recommendations ms
to how the required amount should
he raised.
Question OF SCHOOLS.
The question OF schools was dis
ousser at length and Assistant Super
intendent of Schools Hill was called
upon to answer questions regarding
the schools. In his statement before
the conference. Mr.. Hin gave q history
of the school work and related the
difficulties encountered in organizing
