BELFAST

The authorities have come to the
conclusion that what looked like a
break at the Harry w. Clark store
last sunday night was caused by an
ACCIDENT. During the terif,c shove,
IN the evening the sailors from the
u. s. S. Florida crowded into the en.
trance and undoubtedly the cracked
plate glass was pressed against
causing 1t to fall in. As nothins
was disturbed in the window to any
extent this is the logical conclusion

SHERIFF IN CHARGE OF
YAZOO COUNTY FARM
Governor Russell Authorizes Action BE-
cause Of Alleged Travels Of
Evans, Prisoner.

Yazoo City, Miss, Dec. 16.-Sheriff
Regan of this county received mes
sage this morning from Governor Rus
sell authorizing him to take over the
county farm until a special meeting of
the Board of Supervisors could be called
and successor could be appointed to
take the place of Mr.. Boyd Gum who
has been in charge.
The removal of Mr.. Gum from his
position was brought about by his all
legged laxness in keeping in custody R.
e. Evans who was recently convicted
here on the charge of unlawfully having
liquor in his possession.
1t seems that about a week ago, after
habeus corpus proceedings had failed to
give Evans his liberty, Sheriff Regan
sent Evans under guard to the county
farm, obtaining receipt for him in the
regular way, to begin his sentence. Mr..
Evans has an automobile of his own and
was allowed to bring it to the county
farm. He is good driver and Mr.. Gum
was using his services as a chauffeur.
A protest was made by Yazoo citizens
last week when Evans was seen on the
streets here seemingly without a guard.
Governor Russell at that time sent
telegram to Sheriff Regan instructing
him to see that Evans was kept on the
county farm. At that time Sheriff
Regan again arrested Evans and sent
him to the county farm, obtaining
second receipt for him.
Evans was seen on the streets of
Yazoo City again Tuesday and Sheriff
Regan notified of his presence here.
The sheriff sent deputies out to arrest
him the third time but Evans had left
town by that time. Sheriff Regan then
sent wire to Governor Russell request
ing that he give the sheriff authority
to put man in charge of the county
farm who would keep the prisoner there
or he would not be held responsible.
The Governors wire to County At
torney M. B. Montgomery followed this
message and this morning Sheriff Re-
gan in company. with Mr.. Ewing, SUPER
visor from Beat Two, went out to the
county farm and placed one of his dep
utieS in charge.
Mr. Gum says that the first time he
was only using Evans services as
chauffeur and that Evans was not out
of his custody at any time. He was
only taking advantage of Mr.. Evans
knowledge of an automobile and the
use of his car while Evans was serv-
ing his sentence. Tuesday he says,
Evans developed severe toothache and
the county farm superintendent accom-
panied him to Yazoo City where Evans
could see dentist and have the tooth
treated.
Sheriff Regan is now in charge of the
county farm and will remain so until
at special meeting the Board of Super
visors decide what action they will take.

Churches Plan Support Of xnter-Racial
Sunday.

Jackson, Miss Dec. 16.-Churches of
Mississippi of all denominations are
Joining in making January 10Th a day
OF immense value in the inter-raciaI
movement fostered by the Young Mems
Christian Association. The work in this
state as but part of the greatest move
ment in the entire South, and every
State will set aside the third Sunday in
the new year as Inter-Racial Sunday.
The idea of Inter-Racial Sunday was
first developed at the church leaders
conference held at Blue Ridge, N. c.,
August 1921. Mississippi was repre-
sented at this meeting by Reverend
Theodore D. Bratton, bishop of the Epis-
copal church; Rev. r. L. Phelps, of the
Presbyterian Mission Board; and DR.. D.
H Starns, secretary of Mississippi
Christian Missionary Society Disciples
or Christ. Other Soupthern denomina-
tlons represented by other states are:
Methodist Episcopal Church; Southern
Baptist Church; Southern Presbyterian;
Congregational Church; as well as many
educational societies of the South.
It is the plan of the Y. M. G. A. to
have special inter-racial services held
in more than 200 towns in the state.
Scores of ministers have agreed already
to preach a sermon on the subject in
hand on January 16.

TALK OF RETIRING
FROM MISSISSIPPI
Fire Insurance Companies stirred by
Revenue Agents su1t--lGay
Cancel All Policies.

Jackson. Miss, Dec. 16.-Representa-
tives of 139 fire insurance companies
who have been here the past week con-
ferring over the suit to collect dam
ages instituted by Revenue Agent Stokes
v. Robertson, left for New York this
afternoon where the entire matter will
be laid before heads of the fire insurance
companies and a decision made as to
whether or not the companies will re-
tire from the state.
Revenue Agent Robertson's suit al
leges a combination in restraint of
trade exists among the companies and
his suit for penalties, if successful,
would mean a judgement for the state
against the companies of more than
two billion dollars, the revenue agents
commissions alone amounting to more
than $500, 100000. r..
The revenue agent has garnisheed all
the funds in the hands of state agents
or in banks to their credit of the COM
panies to insure payment of the judge
ments in event the suits are won, which
have been set for trial in the courts of
this county next month.
Conferences were held in the office
of the state insurance commissioner to-
day, who does not indorse the suits,
he has announced, at which he at
tempted to persuade the companies to
stay in the state but he says he has
doubts whether he succeeded.
Under the provisions Of the fire insur-
ance policies issued in this state, the
companies have the right to cancel pol
lcies and withdraw from the state on
nve days written notice. and the gen.
eral impression is that this will be
done.
