BIG BANK ROBBERY
AT WEBB, MISS.
Yeggs Blow Vault of Bank of
Webb-Steal Bonds VAL
ued at $4,000 and
Other Valuable Se-
curities

Webb, Miss, March Blood
hounds tonight had trailed the three
men who .ast night robbed the Bank
of Webb of $25,UU0 in valuabIes oight
miles back in the country to Brazil.
1t is believed that the yeggs headed
for some po.nt on the Yellow Dog"
branch cf the Y & NJ. V. Railroad
take q train for Memphis, Two
packs of dogs are on the trail. Both
hit the same scent, though started at
different intervals The pack, owned
by Mr.. Chapman of Greenwood, was
off first, followed by that from the
Parchman Farm,
The yeggs forced the front door to
the bank and with two charges of
nitroglycerine blew the outer and in
ner doors to the vault and had easy
access to the safety deposit boxes.
They worked deliberately and care
fully examined the contents of each
one Of the 40 boxes. Liberty bonds
to the value of from $4,000 to $780,
! 600, war savings stamps, estimated to
be worth $4,000, and jewelry to
value unknown formed their loot, A
third charge against the bank strong
box failed to open the door, as a re-
suit of which the burglars did OF
get any Of the banks funds, The
bank is protected against the prop
erty damage it suffered. AS the con-
tents of the safety deposit boxes were
unknown no insurance cou-d be car
ried on them. A reward of $1,000
has been offered by the bank for the
apprehension and conviction of the
burglars,
R. L. Bailey, night watchman for
the town, has been i'll for several
days with influenza and no one was
put in his place last night, hence the
bank had no protection of this sort.
J. NJ. Dyess is president of the bank

SEEKS TO IMPROVE
SCHOOL CONDITIONS

Governor Russell yesterday issued
a proclamation setting aside the wees Week
of March 20 to April, 3 as schoo!
week in the state in which time ne
urges that the problem OF maintaining
the schools on higher standard thah
ever before be considered by the peo-
pie generally c.,,a,.or
In the proclamation the Governor,
takes up the problem of paying school
teachers and says; ,
"Our poorly paid school teachers
have been complied to seek other me
of work. Our school buildings ana
equipment have beeen sadly neg -ecteo
that the pupils and teachers nave nave
been forced to undergo q serious nan
dicaps and hardships. Every. citizen
should arouse himself and is the duty
in this line to see that adequate pulio,
ings and equipment are provided ana
that reasonable wage should be pald
to all teachers. Poor salaries force
out the competent and vel prepared
teachers and cause the various COM
munities to select unframed unpre-
pared help"
In the proclamation the Governor
asks that the citizens hold puolc,
meetings during the week designated
and that the consciousness of the pup
lie shall be awakened as to their ou-
ties toward the teachers.

STATE LEGISLATURE
CLIPS LEES WINGS

In the matter of shearing the chief
executive of the State of power, the
Mississippi legislature is strong, the
Senate Wednesday having passed the
Sill ers bill to make levee commission
ers elective by the districts they
serve. The bill now goes to the Gov
ernor for signature.
The House and Senate have both
passed bills abolishing State pardon
ing board, and it is not deemed i'm
probable that both measures will meet
with executive veto.
The Senate Wednesday passed a
bill ealing a constitutional conven-
ton to be held next year. There was
no factionalism evident in this discus
sion, the bill being advocated by ]. D.
Fatheree rated strong friend OF the
powers that be, and Governor Noel
who is with the ants.
In the afternoon the House of Rep
resentatives passed a good roads bill,
the first to get into that body at this
session. The bill carries no bond
issue but does create highway fund
to be raised from a gasoline tax and
it met with appreciate opposition.
Men who have been urging good
roads legislation finally adopted this
measure as being about as much as
could be expected from the present
legislature in the way of road bills,
and believe that it will successful ly
weather the passage through the
Senate.
The House also passed the general
apnropriation bill although it met
with some opposition.

WEST VIRGINIA FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Uncle Hi" of Clarion Ledger
May Throw Another Fit
But He'll Get Over it All
Right, All Right.

Charleston, w. Va, March 10
The West Virginia Legislature ratl-
fled the federal suffrage amendment
late this afternoon, tlnal action on
the amendment was taken by the sea-
ate in adopting the ratification reso-
luton of the mouse OF Delegates py
vote of Is to IA.
The vote Of Senator Jesse A, Bloch
of Wheeling, VINO made hurried
trip from California to Charleston to
vote on the amendment, was etfectuaI
in breaking the deadlock between pro-
and anti-sutfrage forces. Senator A.
R. Montg emery was not permleted to
vote, his seat having been declared
vacant.
The final vote on the Anthony
amendment was taken at :15 o'clock
in the Senate after one of the most
dramatic sessions ever witnessed in
either house of the Legislature. For
several hours suffrage leaders and
their opponents fought in an effort
to gain a definite advantage. Each
step by either patry was hotly con-
anti-suffrage forces deter
mined to offset their opponents VIC
tories in keeping the Legislature in
session and the suffragists confident
of gaining majority to ratify by
the vote of Senator Bloch, who had
rushed nearly across continent for
the occasion.
Crowded galleries were kept in or
der with difficulty as each phase of
the bate apparently swung in favor
of one side or the other At first,
occupants of the galleries took more
interest in the Wheeling senator, who
was regarded as a considerable sn-
sation by tn West Virginians, ow-
ing to his Importance, and the end
through which the suffrage forces
had brought him 60 Charleston. Short
ly, however, interest in the senator
was thrown into the background, due
to issues featuring the contest. These
included the action of the Senate in
declaring vacant the seat of Senator
a. R. Montgomery, depriving him of
the vote which would have defeated

ton of the lower house, lwitho'%.s

after the Senate's vote defeating its

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE
EATS A LITTLE "cROW"

Jackson, Miss, March 1.-THE
Mississippi House of representatives
seeing the handwriting on the wall"
and the reports from the country at
large, at its session this afternoon de-
cided to make way as far as possible
for the preparation necessary for the
anticipated ratification of the Susan
E. Anthony suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution. There were
two bills providing for the qualifca-
ton of women for registration, so as
to vote in both primary and general
eections, both drafted by Representa-
tive Whitworth of Pike County.
With very little opposition both bills
were passed with good majorities and
plus pyrotechnics or gallery exhibits.

port.

the check off system, by which the op-
pertaors collect from the miners dues

differentials be referred to a special
commission to be appointed by the
j3int wage scale conference and to

jackson, Miss, March BY the
time the charges against Charlie Mar
shall, the alleged slayer of four in
the Miller family in Monroe County,
is tried that noted young man vii!
have cost the state a decidedly large
sum. In fact, it is estimated that up
to the time a jury can be secured in
Lee County and the trial concluded
the public funds, state and county,
will be touched for nothing short of
s2.5OO. This will be made up of trans
portation of Marshall from Amory and
Aberdeen to Tupelo, Holly Springs
and jackson as a precautionary move
ment to avoid summary punishment on
the part of the outraged popu-ace OF
Monroe County. Added to that VII
be the cost of two special troop trains
for escorting him twice from jackson
to Aberdeen and return and the equip
ment and maintenance OF the 100
National Guardsmen and officers who
formed the escort of protection.
1t may be necessary, even in Tupelo
where Marshall is to be tried, to sum
mon special venires and the per diem
and mileage of so or 100 men sub
