Al SENTENCED FOR
BIG EXPRESS THEFTS
Judge Criticizes Company for
Low Wages Paid. IS
Must Go To Prison

MACON, Ca, April 3O.-In sem
fencing al men, SO of whom were
found guilty and five of whom plead
ed guilty to charges of conspiracy to
rob the American Railway Express
Company of ST. 100000, Judge Bever-
ly D. Evans declared today that the
whole conspiracy was brought about
because "the express company did
not pay the messengers wages suffi-
cient to give them an adequate liv-
ing"
"They applied for an increase, .
said Judge Evans, land that appeal
was unsuccessful. / think that in
the beginning the whole purpose was
to abstract sufficient amount from
the company to give them raise in
wages somewhat on a scale with the
railroad employees"
Judge Evans declined to hear pleas
for leniency from lawyers. He call
ed the defendants before him sepa-
rately and in many cases talked to
them for few minutes. To 13 he
gave penitentiary sentences.
One defendant, j. L. johnson. re-
ceived penitentiary sentence, Judge
Evans told him, because of your
fondness for poker and your appro-
priation of the company's goods for
poker stakes"
"Are you Big Boy?'" Judge Evans
asked c. w. Pearce, a giant 300
pound man.
"Yes, sir" was the answer.
II fine you $780," said the court.
Judge Evans complimented C. HI.
Condrey, express messenger, and one
OF the governments witnesses, before
sentencing him to pay a fine of $3.50.
Judge Evans made no comment on w.
A. hughes, star witness for the gov
ernment, whom he fined $500.
The penitentiary sentences were
each for one year and day.

HON. GREEK |. RICE
NOW CIRCUIT JUDGE
Unofficial Returns Give Rice
Majority From 500 to
1000 Over Kyle.

Hon. Greek L. Rice of Charleston
was elected Circuit Court Judge to
fill out the unexpired term of years
of Hon. E. d. Dinkins, resigned.
Mr.. Rice defeated his only oppo-
nent, Hon. John w. Kyle of Sardis,
who was recently appointed to the po-
sition by Gov. Russell until his sue
cessor shall have been elected.
The election was held Saturday and
was very quiet, and a very light vote
was polled. Quite a number of la
dies voted in the election, this being
their first time since the ratification
of the suffrage amendment.
Outside of Tallahatchie County the
lawyers of the entire district were al
most unanimously in favor of Kyle
and gave their public Endorsement of
his candidacy. Notwithstanding
this support, Mr.. Rice practically Sc
cured one third more votes than his
opponent. 1t will be quite amusing
to see these lawyers eat 'rice" diet
for years. We have great faith in
''rice" and believe the enforced diet
will do the majority of the lawyers
at least, great good.
Mr.. Rice carried Yalobusha, Talla-
hatchie and Tate Counties, while Mr..
Kyle carried Pamela and De Soto
Counties. Upon unofficial returns
Rice's majority is estimated at from
500 to 1000.
There are some "antis" who have
the nerve to claim that the election of
Mr.. Rice is victory" for the anti
administration forces. Well, Welll
What do you think of that for nerve?
Everybody in Yalobusha County
knows Attorneys H. H. Creelmore, r.
F. Kimmons and a few, at least, have
heard something about Hugh Bailey.
All Yalobusha citizens know that
Gov. Russell appointed Hon. John w.
Kyle to the position of Judge of this
Circuit Court District. Attys. Creek
more, Kimmons and Baddley gave
their public Endorsement and pledged
their support to Mr.. Kyle. Now we
want some "anti" to please inform
us when did Messrs. Creekmore, Kim
mons, Baddley, McGowen, etc. fiipity-
flop and get in the Russell -Bilbo-
Vardaman band wagon. When we
are convinced that the Water Valley
attorneys named above. are securely
and safely lodged in the Russell band
wagon, then we'll concede the recent
election of Mr.. Rice to be a victory
for the "antis."

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Setting

The court was unanimous in re-

REPUBLICANS VOTE
SEPARATE PEACE
WITH GERMANY
Knox Resolution Passed by
Senate-Democrats, Loyal
to the Allies, Brand Scheme
as Abandonment of Princi-
pies American Soldiers Died
For

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The
administrators first step toward
placing the United States on a tech
nical legal basis of peace was taken
tonight by the Senate in adopting the
Knox resolution.
The vote for adoption of the reso-
luton was 49 to %.
Three Democrats voted for the
resolution, and although no Repub!i-
cans voted against it, Senator Nelson
of Minnesota was paired against it.
The Democrats voting for it were
Senators Myers, Montana; Shields,
Tennessee, and Watson, Georgia.
Two othr Democrats, Reed, Missouri,
and Walsh, Massachusetts,, were an
nounced as favoring the resolution.
The resolution now goes to the
House, with prospects of prompt ac-
ton there. No change was made by
the Senate in the rsolution as report
ed by the foreign relations committee.
It would repeal the war resolutions
affecting Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary, impound alien enemy property
and reserve to the United States all
rights ard privileges und- the treaty
of Versailles and other peace treaties
An eifor. t. amend the resolution
made oy Senator Townsend, Repuh-
lican, Michigan, who mos ed to strike
out the clause repeating the war dec
laration and substitute simple dec
laration of peace, was defeated "A to
26 shortly before the final vote.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Republican leader opposed the Town
send amendment, stating that it had
been considered carefully by the for
eign relations committee, which de-
cided that ''the direct method was the
best"
Senator Lodge, in inaugurating de-
bate for the day, told the Senate that
treaties with Germany and others
with other nations with which the
United States would not abandon"
the allies.
Substitutes for the Knox Resolu-
ton prepared by Senator King, DEM
ocrat, Utah, were not offered. Mr..
King said that the Republican majori-
ty appeared determined to support
the Knox resolution as offered. Sem
ator France, Republican, Maryland,
also did not offer his plan for a gen.
eral world conference to consider
various questions affecting rehabili-
tation. He promised to offer his
measure later.
The vote on the peace resolution
did not come until after z O'Clock to-
night and was preceded by tense
partisan clashes. The Republicans
lined up almost solidly behind the
measure, and all but five of the Dem
ocrats voted or were paired against
it.

WIPINC OUT LEPROSY
RAPIDLY ON MOLOKAI
Chaulmoogra Oil Will Elimi-
nate Disease, Is Prediction

HONOLULU, T. H., March 29.-
Sixty-five per cent of tn chronic
cases of leprosy in the Kalaupapa
leper colony, Island of Molokai, will
be cured within the next two years by
cific prepared by DR.. A. L. Dean,
president of the University of Hawaii
and within 10 years the famous old
leper settlement will be athing of the
past, according to the expressed be-
lief of DR.. w. J. Goodhue, the settle
ment's resident physician.
= DIR. Goodhue and territorial health
board officials do not hesitate to say
that number of cases in the colony
never will recover, that the disease
has gone too far to even be arrested
by chaulmoogra oil, and the care of
these, it is believed, will necessitate
keeping the colony running for an
other decade. In the meantime, how
ever, it is confidently expected, the
majority of cases at Kalaupapa will
be cured and discharged within "a
months.
Members of the Territorial Legisla-
ture recently visited Molokai, thor
oughly inspected the colony and made
estimates of improvements to be car
ried out there.
Although they may be cured, o
number of the older inmates Of the
settlement always will bear promi-
nently the marks Of leprosy's ravages,
and for these, who have no interests
elsewhere, President Charles Chilling
worth of the Territorial Senate, has
suggested setting aside government
land on Molokai for farms.

The preliminary hearing of Nelson
Cartright was held Wednesday after
noon at 800 o'clock in the Court
House before Justices of the Peace,
J. w. Young and C. L. Chadwick.
Last Thursday Nelson Cartright
and Leroy Addington had trouble
during the afternoon while at work
at the /. c. shops where both were
employed. Friends interfcred and

blows at that time. However it is re-
ported that the men then agreed to
meet that night at the X. O. E. D:
Club room, both being members OF
the club, and then and there settle
the difficulty between them.
Between five and six o'clock that
night Joe Delk and Leroy Addington
were in the club room playing pool
when Cartright came in the room.
After a few words the men began
fighting which finally resulted in
Addington getting hit over the head
with billiard cue, crushing his skull
and which caused his death about 80
minutes later at the Water Valley
Hospital where he had been taken for
treatment. Mr.. Addington never re-
gained consciousness after receiving
the blow on his head.
Nelson Cartright was Immediately
placed under arrest and put in the
County jail, charged with the killing.
Later Joe Delk, an eye witness to the
affair, was also placed under arrest
and taken to Oxford where he was
kept in Jail.
District Attorney Richard Denman
represented the state and Hon. H. H..
Creekmore the defendant, at the pre-
liminary hearing Wednesday after
noon.
After consulting with the States
witnesses, District Attorney Denman
dismissed the charge under which Joe
DIX was being held and the young
was released.
Then by agreement with the de-
fendant's attorney, Nelson Cartright
was released under $4,000 bond to
await action by the grand jury, and
was released from custody.
