IS TO BE HONORED
WITH MONUMENT
Father Experimental Electricity and
Inventor of The Voltaic Pile, For
Whom Electric Volt Was Named
Associated Press

ROME, Feb. 12-Alessandro Volta,
the father of experimental electricity,
the inventor of the voltaic pile and
the man after whom the electric volt
was named, is to be honored with a
monument in Rome which will proba-
bly, be unveiled in 1927, the hundredth
anniversary of his death.
The movement for the recognition
of the services of this pioneer Italian
electrician to humanity was launch
ed at recent dinner of the Italian
Alpian Club by Luigi Spada, secre-
tary of the Rome branch of the club.
Volta was a native of Como and
won fame as professor of physics
both at Como and Padua. Although
he made many discoveries and inven-
tions in electricity his Voltaic pile
is the one upon which his fame
rests chiefly.
Napoleon l, the Emperor of Aus
tria and the British Royal Society
awarded him medals and invited him
to demonstrate the pile, which was a
series of discs of dissimlar metal, such
as copper and zinc, laid up with discs
of cloth or paper between them mois.
tened with the acid water, for the pro.
duction of electricity. Upon this dis.
covery the telephone, telegraph, cleo.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
(FrOm J. F. Clark & Co.,
by Abe Si1yer)

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb 12-
London says the chancellor of the ex-
chequer says England will be willing
to participate in an international con-
ference if invited, but the government
wants to make it perfectly clear that
it could not support any move involv-
ing an addition to the liabilities of
Great Britain for expenditures in Am
erica, nor could the government grant
further advances to other countries.
This practically confirms preceding
rumors of practically an import en-
bargo and accounts for the action of
Liverpool where near positions today
advanced as much as 70 points with
the gain tapering down to Is points
on new crops and spot prices 73 up
with sales of 5000 bales
In view of the check to new impor-
tation, mills are anxious to secure cot
ton out of the Liverpool stock which
causes the hardening of values there
However, this situa ton is subject tC
opposite Interpretation of effect or
our side.
Increasing anxiety is reflected il
virtually all diplomatic circles regard
ing the European financial situation
and possible consequences. Conditions
in Central Europe growing worse. Nc
predictions ventured as to develop
ments during the next few months.
Failing to reach an agreement, di
rector Hines submits case to Presi
dent Wilson for decision. The confer
ence between Hines and Union head:
was on friendly footing and dissolv
ed in good feeling which gives the
situation hopeful look.
Treaty news was considered less op
| timistic as democratic leaders de
nounce the latest draft of reservation:
! and Washington says much doubt de
mains to accept compromise.
| Market opened 20 to 80 points OF
the showing by Liverpool and some
buying on the rainy weather map
Some straddle buying at the great!

on the outlook for bullish comparison
of mill takings tomorrow and the cen
sus report on Saturday, were instru
mental in causing scalpers rallies.
Market very dull. Spots are re
ported quiet with but some scattered

rains over Southeast Texas.

lowing deserved comment on Judge

"Judge Beams has been a practicing
attorney in Greenville for about ten
wears; when the United States enter

ened an office here to re-enter the
practice of law and then came his ap-

A small marble tablet is the only
memorial which Volta has in Rome
On the monument to be erected to
his memory it is proposed to engrave
the names of Galvani, Pacinotti. Meu-
eel, G. Ferraris and Marconi, all illus
trious Italians who have contributed
notably to the development of the
principles discovered by Volta.
Antonio Meucci was from Florenc
and lived in America with General
Garibaldi, on Staten Island, where
they supported themselves in po efty
by making candles. In discussing
Meucci's service to the world, Signor
Spada said: "Meucci invented the tel
ephone."
Recounting the other important ele-
ctrical discoveries of Italians, he con-
tinued: "Antonio Pacinotti, of Pisa, in
1864 discovered the electrical ring
which is the principal Of the dyanamo
developed by Gramme, the Belgian
who appropriated Pacinottis discov-
cry.
He declared that Italians invented
the barometer, the pendulum, the lens
the telescope, and that the submarine
airplane and asphyxiating gas were
in embryo set forth in the writing OF
Leonardo. Signor Spada urged that
Italians arouse themselves and dev-
elop the discoveries Of their owr
scientists in bad commercial way.

% MILLION ROAD
BILL FAILS HOUSE
Compulsory Education Bill Is Passed
-Levee Commissioners To Be
Elected.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 1.-The
Pate highway bill, providing a bond
issue of $25,OOO,OOO for roads to touch
every county seat in Mississippi, was
killed in the House this afternoon af-
ter an amendment submitting it to
the voters had been adopted. The
compulsory education bill was passed
with liberal majority after the rep
resentatives had accepted an amend
ment also submitting it to the electors
in November. The referendum was of
fered by Mr.. Gore of Webster County
and is considered as a death blow to
the measure, should the bill become a
law
A bill largely similar in its pro
visions to the Pate highway bill, and
of which Senator Roberts of Bolivar
County is the author, is pending in
the Senate and is set as the special
order for Thursday, and is said to be
compromise measure, embracing GER
tain features which were eliminated
by the committee from the Pate bill.
The vote on the highway bill was 62
to "a. Opposition developed from many
points because of the provision that
would have distributed the money
equally among all the counties, Civ
ing about $304,OO0 to each, regardless
of the amount of tax contributed by
the respective counties. The bonds
were to have been refunded by money
secured from a two cent tax on each
gallon of gasoline sold.
1t is probable that by the time re
consideration is reached the friend:
of the bill may be able to rally some
of those who were stampeded today.
There was almost a full Senate
comparatively speaking, when Presi
dent Casteel called the body to ordel
at the appointed hour and invited
Rev. j. M. Morse, presiding elder O
the Jackson district of the Methods
Church, to offer prayer.
Sundry committee reports were sen
up indicating that the committees hat
been well occupied, including judi
ciary, finance, roads, ferries ant
bridges, banks and banking, and mu
inequalities and fees and salaries.
The committee on roads and bridg
es reported favorably House bill Nc
4, to amend section 4,416 of the cod
as to liability of school teachers t.
road duty; also
House bill 244, to regulate the US
of hard surface roads when undergo
ing repairs by heavy vehicles wit
heavy loads.
