giving to our future citizens the prep
aration they should have. Then, are
going to pay for schools and get them
or are we going to pay for them and
not get them?
A four mill levy, which means a
three mill increase, means that you
will pay three dollars on the thousand
more than you are now paying. 1t
will mean that the revenue of the
county will be increased more than
100000 from this county levy and
$40, 100000 or more from the state,
1t will mean a LOGGER School term ard
better paid teachers which will surely
result in our schools being filled with
better teachers.
Every loyal citizen of Yalobusha
County, outside of the separate dis
tricts, should go to the polls next Fri
day and cast a vote in favor of the
school levy.
Cordially yours,
C. A. LAWSHE, Co. Supt.

To Murder Her ,
/ Mrs. Snow Says
Divorced Husband and His
Alleged Aids Finally De-
cided to Simulate an
Auto Wreck, She Asserts
Two Other Arrests Made
Wealthy Patent Attorney
Held in $4,000 Bail !;
Hearing Continues To-day

WASHINGTON, July s.--Presenting
testimony to support her charge that
her divorced husband, Chester A.
Snow, wealthy patent attorney of this
city, instigated plot to end her life,
Mrs. Adds Hubbard Snow, at q pre-
liminary hearing to-day in Federal
Police Court, outlined three methods
she alleged he had considered.
Mrs. Snow told the court that Mrs.
Edna P. Acker, private detective, who
with Snow and Hugh Milton Langdon,
a chauffeur, was arrested on charge
of being implicated in the alleged con-
spiracy, had confessed to her that one
plan was to bring about her fall from
the top Of a high building or cliff. An
other method discussed, she testified,
was the administering of poison, but
both schemes, she charged, were aban-
doned in favor of a plan to drug her
during an automobile ride, The ma
chine, Mrs. Snow declared, Mrs.
Acker had admitted was then to be
wrecked, making. it appear that she
was to have happened last Monday,
according to Mrs. Snow. Langdon, it
was charged, was to have driven the
automobile.
Mrs. Snow testified that Mrs Acker
came to her home Monday and con-
fessed that she had been hired by
Snow to help cause her death. For
months Mrs. Acker had posed as her
friend, she said, and had dined with
her on numerous occasions with gov
ernment officials and members of the
diplomatic set here.
Mrs. Snow declared on the witness
stand that Mrs. Acker told her that
Snow had hired her "to kill me at any
price,"
Henry E. Davis, attorney for Mrs.
Snow, testified that he had been called
to Mrs. SHOWS home Monday while
Mrs. Acker was there. Mrs. Acker, he
said, called Snow by telephone and
told him that everything had been
arranged"
Davis testified that he had "listened
in" and heard Snow say good"
Davis told the court that on Julv 5
and that later Mrs. Acker arrived and
told them that she had come "to dis
close the most horrible plot / ever
knew"
She said, according to Davis's testi-
mony, that she had been employed by
Snow at first to involve Mrs. Snow by
trailing her, shadowing her and being
in company with her to get something
on her."
When nothing came of this, Davis
quoted Mrs. Acker as saying, Snow pro-
posed to Mrs. Acker to get rid of Mrs.
Snow-"to get her out of the way by
any means she might"
Mrs. Acker's plan, as Davis testif ed
Mrs. Acker explained it to them, was
to take Mrs. Snow in an automobile
and administer poison or sufficiently
powerful drug and to have the auto
mobile turned over in. a ditch in such
a way as to appear as if Mrs. Shows
death was an accident.
Hugh Milton Langdon has been ar
rested in the case with Mrs. Acker on
the charge that he was to have driven
the automobile.
The hearing will be resumed to-mor-
row. Snow is being held on $4,000
bail.

calling to other members of the family.
After the pair in the car had disap-
peared, a maid investigated and found
Mrs. Keator's jewel case was missing.
Mr.. Lopez, who is the head of M. Lopez

Protest to Washington

Magistrate John y. Mcclellan said
yesterday on his return from ten-day
trip to Bermuda that he is going to
protest to the State Department against
what he called a "brAzen and appar-
emily inexcusable insult to the Ameri-
can flag" by three English seamen in
Hamilton, Bermuda, on July s.
The magistrate and several other
Americans were sitting on the veranda
of the American House there singing
patriotic songs when two sailors from
II. M. s. Agincourt and steward from,
without explanation, so Magistrate
Mcclellan said, climbed the pillars of
the porch and tore down a large Amer

He and his companions spoke to the
seamen, whose only reply, so he said
was to trample the flag and spit upon
it. Eight policemen interrupted wha.
threatened to be a fight. They refused
to arrest the sailors, however, saying,
according to Magistrate Mcclellan,
that they were without jurisdiction.
ter with Albert w. Swain, American
Consul at Hamilton, who protested to
the British Admiralty. The Admiralty
sent detectives to the hotel, where the
three men were staying, and had them
arrested.
Magistrate Mcclellan said the men
were j. A. Jewell, j. J. Howe and r. H.
Rimmer, the latter the steward. They
were arraigned before Magistrate Ap-
pelby and pleaded guilty to charges of
disorderly conduct. They were offered
a choice of a fine of three pounds one
shilling or twenty days in Jail.
No reference was made to the insult
to the flag, Magistrate Mcclellan said,
and the court did not even reprimand
the men for their conduct.

Corporation Counsel Says
Rockefeller Interests Can
Control Rates Regardless
of the Price-Fixing Laws

An attempt to show a connection be-
tween the Standard Oil Company and
the Consolidated Gas Company, which
he charged placed the Rockefeller inter-
ests in a position where they could con-
troll the price of gas regardless of rate
fixing legislation, was made yesterday
by Corporation Counsel John P.,O'Brien,
in the gas rate hearing before Federal
Judge Learned Hand The gas company
has applied for final order confirming
the report of Abraham S. Gilbert, spe-
cial master, who adjudges the 8O-cent
rate cOntiscatory
The Standard Oil Company, Mr..
O'Brien said, was responsible for the
recent introduction of gas oil, by
product of crude oil. An increase of
one cent a gallon for gas oil, he said,
would mean rise of four cents a
thousand cubic feet, in the price of
gas to the consumer. He then offered
evidence to show that William Rookie
feller is a director of the Consolidated
concern, and that the gas company
buys all it's gas oil from the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. Con-
tracts were offered in evidence which
tended to show that gas oil was being
Jersey at lower rate than was charged
to the Consolidated Company.
