JERRE CLARK HAS ROUGH EX-
PERIENCE.

While returning to Noxubee from
Carthage, ILL.,, where he had been with
his family, Jerre Clark, living six
miles north Of Macon, on the Cob.m-
bus road, and who is held in high
esteem by all who know him, had
very unpleasant experience. 1t seems
that a terrible crime had been com
mitted near Martin, Tenn, by tail,
well-built" stranger, who was driving
a Sedan-built car MIR. Clark was
coming south and the posse, who was
in pursuit of the criminal, caught up
with him and arrested him. He gave
his proper name, bu tthe name found
in his coat did not tally, and for that
reason he was placed in Jail over night
and released Thursday morning at 10
o'clock, after the woman victim of the
crime ha dsaid Clark was not the man.
The first news Of his plight came to
Macon Thursday morning in the Scim-
itar and Sheriff Mcclure and other
friends Immediately phoned to Mar
tin to offer any assistance necessary,
bu THE officers stated Mr.. Clark had
bee nreleased.

CURIOUS WOMEN
CAUSE ORDER TO
STOP SERVICES
Mayor VIII Put an End TO Relig-
Ions Performances Which Are
Public Nuisance.

So extensive has become the
action of certain street evangeIist5
and platform performers in Rock
Isgland that Mayor II. NJ. ScbTiver
has decided to stop services which
are considered public nuisance.
This morning the mayor was
presented with petition signed
by 81 persons in the neighborhood
of Eighteenth street and Fourth
avenue in protest against noises
coming at night from a residence
near Eighteenth street and Fourth
avenue At this residence three
women shouteTs and a man. all
transfeuts. have been carrying on
religious meetings for several
weeks. The neighbors complain
that the persons keep residents in
thai part OF the city awake until
lSe beurs Of tho night by the
yFdouting and other disturbances
Of the supposed religious workers
The mayor said he was going to
stop the services.
According to witness. the &C
tions OF the party would rival those
OF any vaudeville performers in
the U9ited States. The three
women get together and sing
religious song AL OF q sudden
they cease. while one turns her
face to the heavens and talks in an
unknown tongue When ques-
toned as to what she is doing. the
performer declares she is con
versiDg with the holy ghost No
one can understand her Other sc-
lions are equally unusual it is
said. Sometimes they fail on the
floor and sometimes they try to fly.
II is said. Mayor SChriver him
Nse1f witnessed one performance and
nd It beat anything he ever saw.
The mayor saws he does not in
tend to interfere with religious
services on the streets. but IN
cases such as the above he will
prevent a public nuisance.

LOAFING ON THE JOB
English Poet Laureate Hasn't Sungg
Empires Victory Yet.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
England has awakened to the fact
that her poet laureate has not been
doing his bit. That, considering his
occasions and opportunities, he is far
and away behind in output. 1t is ad-
mitted that laureates can't always
write poetry, but it is at least ex-
pected that they should grind it out
to order. Perhaps the incumbent,
having faith in the oblivion accorded
British laureates since Tennyson,
thought that his being a verse slack
er wouldn't be observed.
Perhaps a Iaureates union has
been formed, and Mr.. Bridges is
showing his employers that while
poetry comes high yet the cost Of
living is higher these days, and that
he doesn't propose to grind out verse
in the old way at the old rate. in

WILSON WARNS OF
DELAY ON TREATY
Formal Ratification of Treaty and
League of Nations Must be First
Step Toward Normal World

Washington, Aug. 19.-President
Wilson told the foreign relations
committee at the outset Of his con-
ference today that he could see no
reasonable objection" to interpre-
tations of how the United States ac-
cepts the league of nations provided
such interpretations did not form
part of the formal ratification.
If interpretations were part OF the
formal ratification, the president con-
tended, long delays would follow as
other governments would have to
"accept in effect the language OF the
senate as the language of the treaty
before ratification would be COM
plete.'
Most of the interpretations, the
president said, seemed to him to sug-
gest 'sthe plain meaning of the IN
strument ITSELF"
The much discussed Article Ten,
the president told the senators, was
not of doubtful interpretations when
read in connection with the whole
covenant. The council, he said, could
only advise and as it's action must
be unanimous, the affirmative vote
of the United States would be neces-
sary to any question affecting it.
Article Sixteen, the president said,
provided that where there is a dis
pute found to be sorely within the
jurisdiction of one of the parties, un-
der international law, the league
, council shall so report and make no
recommendation for it's settlement.
immigration, tariffs and the like, the
president said, clearly came under
that provision.

The Presidents Statement.


Washington, Aug. 19.-President
: Wilson began his conference with the
senate foreign relations committee at
. the White House. today with an
opening statement on the peace
treaty and the league of nations. He
said:
ssMr. Chairman: 1 am sincerely
glad that the committee should have
responded in this way to my intima-
tion that would like to be of service
to it. / welcome the opportunity for
a frank and full interchange OF
views.
ct hope, too, that this conference
will serve to expedite the considera-
ton of the treaty of peace. I beg
that you will pardon and indulge me
if I again urge that practically the
whole task of bringing the country
back to normal conditions of life
and industry waits upon the decision
of the senate with regard to the terms
of the peace treaty.
tI venture thus again to urge my
advice that the action of the senate
with regard to the treaty be taken
at the earliest practicable moment
because the problems with which we
are face to face in the readjustments
of cur national life are Of the most
pressing and critical character, Will
REQUIRE for their proper solution the
most intimate and disinterested CO.
operation of all parties and all in
terests and cannot be postponed With
out manifest peril to our people and
to all the national advantages we
hold most dear. May l mention
few of the matters which cannot
be handled with intelligence urt:'
the country knows the character OF
the peace it is tc have? Go so
only by very few samples.
'The copper mines of Montana
and Alaska for example, are being
kept open and in operation only at
a great cost and loss, in part upon
borrowed money. The zinc mines OF
Missouri, Tennessee and Wisconsin
are being operated at about one half
their capacity; the lead OF Idaho,
Illinois and MISSOURI reaches only a
portion of it's former markets; there
is an immediate need of cotton belt
ing, and also for lubricating oil which
cannot be met-all because the chan
nels of trade are barred by war when
there is no war. The same is true
of raw cotton, of which the central
empires alone formerly purchased
nearly four million bales. \ And these
are only examples. There IS hardly
single raw material, single IN
portant food stuff or single class OF
manufactured goods which is not IN
the same case. Our fu.. normal prof
liable production waits cn peace.
Our military plans of course, wait
upon it. We cannot inselligently or
wisely decide how large naval or
military force we shall maintain or
what our policy with regard to
military training is to be until
we have peace not only,
but also until we know how
peace is to be sustained, whether by
the arms of a single naticn or by
the concert of all the great Peoples.
