SMALL BURGLARIES
ARE AN EPIDEMIC
Four RObberies Within a Week
mo Clue as to Guilty
Parties.

What apepars to be an epidemic
of small burglaries has been going
on in Brookhaven this week.
Domineck Dantoni, running a
small store just outside of the cor
poration on the Bogue Chitto road,
lost almost all of his stock by de-
predators Wednesday night. the
burglars priced off the fastening on
side window of the store, and Off
GERS presume that either a wagon or
a car was used to load the groceries
in and drive off, on account of the
impossibility of carrying the amount
that was missing. A search over
part of Petersburg by Chief of Po-
lice J. H. Case and Deputy Sheriffs
Melton Wood and H. L. Hoskins on
Thursday failed to reveal any clue in
about 20 houses that were under sus-
picion as possible hiding places for
the purloined goods
\ Thursday night entrance was Sc
cured to the Brookhaven Drug Co.
by knocking lower panel out of a
back door. A loss of $50 in cash
taken from an unlocked safe was all
that Mr.-C. e. Grafton could miss
from his place of business.
The same night thieves also broke
a glass in back door at L. L. Fur
lows Model Cleaning and Pressing
Plant and stole a valuable suit of
clothes.
1t was only about week ago that
the store of Tony Panzica on East
Monticello street was also robbed of
$15 while Mr.. Panzica who sleeps in
the place was absent from the store
until $3.50 p. m. Entrance was Sc
cured through a window on the
street.
No clues as to the guilty parties
for any of the robberies have as yet
been secured by officers.

Mcbride Landed Wanted
Negro in Sim Jordan

Policeman j. w. McBride's theory
that Sim Jordan was a dangerous
character and bad negro in gener-
al has been proved to be correct this
week. Mr.. McBride's conclusion was
reached after he had arrested the
negro for petit larceny, bordering on
burglary, two weeks ago. 1t took
a shot from the officers pistol to
stop him and the prisoners expIana-
tion of his previous whereabouts
were very unsatisfactory at the time.
He either refused or could not give
the name of single person for
whom he had ever worked, nor would
he say where his home was.
Reports from Greenwood, now in
hand, show that the negro is wanted
at that place for burglary, while he
is also an escaped convict from
Holmes county.
JORDAN is now in the city Jail
serving out sentence of 80 days and
costs for his escapade here in pur-
Joining some clothes at Curtis Cot
tens colored boarding house, but
will be turned over the North Mis-
sissippi authorities as soon as an Of
fcer arrives, which is expected at

HOME RULE IS
SOUGHT BY THE
WEST AFRICANS

LONDON. Jan. i0.-(By MaiD -
West Africa Is the latest country to
seek home rule. A mission, represen.
tative OF educated opinion in British
West Africa. has arrived here to urge
upon the Colonial Office a number
Of reforms in the internal admins
tration OF the four West African col
onies and protectorates. Sierra Leone,
the Gold Coast. Nigeria and the Gam
bia. says the London Times.
The Mission has been sent to this
country by the National Congress Of
British West Africa. and seeks In the
first place the creation Of legisia-
tive council which will be composed
one-half of members chosen by the
crown and on-half of members elect
ed by the people. and for house Of
assembly which would have complete
control Of the revenue and axpen1i-
ture.
AS TO local government. the mis-
sion urges that municipal corpora
tions should be established in each
OF the principal towns OF the colon
les.
The judicial system of British West
Africa. in particular Nigeria, is criti-
cized by the mission which states
that at present "it is the practice to
appoint to judicial offices Europeans
who have not received any legal
training and who are not competent
to exercise judicial functions"
Among other suggested reforms
they seek: The establishment OF a
West African University; the remov-
al OF the color bar in the West Afri-
can medical service and the intro
duction OF immigration laws TO pre-
vent the influx OF undesirable aliens
to British West Africa.

Blame Women For !
Military Failure

LONDON, Jan. 13.-(By Mail)
The wives Of prominent Bulgarian
politicians and generals are being
called to account by the Bulgarian
government whenever It is proved
that their influence over their hus-
bands has caused political or mill
tary disaster to the nation.
The wives Of several public men
and generals have already been made
responsible by the Bulgarian gov
ernment for the disastrous results OF
the war owing to the influence they
exerted over their husbands. says the
newspaper Atre, published In Sofia.
1t is believed in Sofia that the
sentiments of a number of Bulgarian
women caused movement for a
greater Bulgaria. which influenced
Bulgaria to enter the war on the side
of the Central Powers.
