The Stcry of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XX.-MISSISSIPPI
90 aam I TEE Of niasIss sfats
Mn& "A va sippi derives
hs7 is sSs Ma its name from
Ilsa A .4sIy ~ Eil the river
". rs.s,,s...gs lsgssg l:W which forms
va []W it's western
@ oundary.
The word itself comes from the
Algonquin missi-sepe which
means great river" 1t is popu-
larry supposed to mean Father
of the Waters but this interpre-
tation is incorrect. The state is
also known as the Bayou State
from the many bayous which are
formed by the shifting river. In
this connection it is interesting
to note the uneven course of the
Mississippi river. Though the
extreme length of the state from
the Gulf to Tennessee is $50
miles, the western border. due
to the winding of the Mississippi
river, extends for nearly 500
miles.
The rivers play an important
part in this state. They are so
numerous and the country so
subject to flood that the river
bottoms cover nearly one fifth
of the area of the entire state.
The early history of Missis-
sippi is yoked up with that Of
Louisiana of which it originally
formed a part. Discovered by
De Soto in 1880. it was not until
La Sale sailed down the river
and claimed this territory. which
he named in honor of his French
king, Louis XIV, that a perma-
nent settlement was established.
In 1853 the territory east of
the Mississippi was ceded by the
French to the English. For a
while the lower portion of the
present state was called West
Florida. After being captured
by the Spanish and later re-
turned to the United States, the
Territory of Mississippi was ex-
tended to its present size of 49,
S65 square miles and in 1917 1t
was admitted as the twentieth
state of the Union. At the time
of the Mexican war, although
called upon to supply one regi-
ment of volunteers, Mississippi
responded with enough men for
two. One Of these regiments
was commanded by Jefferson
Davis, who later was the presi-
dent of the Confederate states.
Since its readmittance to the Un-
ion in 1870 Mississippi in ma
tional elections has been Demo-
cratic state except in 1872, when
it voted for Grant.

House TO Get Peace
Resolution This Week
Republicans on Committee TO
60 Over Final Draft of
Amended Plan To-day

From 7IIc Irfbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Committee
work on the draft of the peace resolu-
tion to be submitted to the House by the
Committee of Foreign Affairs virtually
was completed to-day and it probably
will be ready for consideration before
Saturday.
Chairman Porter said after another
executive session of the committee this
morning that the majority members be-
lleYe they are prepared to go TO the floor
with the measure, but that a final meet
ing of the Republicans of the committee
will be held tomorrow before the full
committee is called to report it out.
This program indicates, it is declared,
the careful way in which the committee
has been proceeding and some members
or the House feel they are suffering
from an overdose of cautiousness. Mr..
Porter explained that this course is due
to the desire of the committee TO make
certain that there be no possible loop
holes IN the measure, which might opan
up embarrassing situations in the direc-
ton, principally, of the rights Of Ger
many under old treaties.
The resolution to be reported is under.
stood to be revision of the Porter
plan, which omits the repeal of the
declaration of war and merely declares
a state of peace. 1t is said to be
couched in the simplest possible terms.

Countess Leary's Estate
Worth $272, 1874 Net
Banks Claim for S288,336 and
$9,O43 Paid Painter Out of
S65O.287 Gross Value

Miss Annie Leary, who also was
known as Countess Leary, having re-
ceived a title from the Pope, left a
gross estate of $500, ,287, while her net
estate amounted to s272,1s4. She died
April 6, 1919
The transfer tax appraisal, filed in
the Surrogates' Court yesterday
showed that the principal claim against
the estate was one for $288, 1886 held by
the Seaboard National Bank for q loan.
This was one of the amounts deducted
from the gross estate, and caused diff
ference Of nearly 100000 between the
gross and the net.
Pierre Tartoue, portrait painter. had
claims aggregating $11 200 for por-
traits of the papal countess and of the
late Cardinal Farley. These bills were
settled for s9,043 Miss Leary held Sc
curities valued at $537 ,7G3. Her resi-
dence at 1882 Fifth Avenue was valued
at S63,166, and her equity therein
amounted to $4,000. The Archbishop
OF the Roman Catholic Church in New
York City received s205,000. The rest
went to nieces.

Officials Received
Big Pay Increase
+. I'll. Hardin, of N. Y. c., at
Hearing ON Extravaganza
Charges, Says He Cannot
Criticize u. S. Operation

Richard B. Gregg, counsel for the
railway employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, con-
Quoted a ross-examination of F. H.
Hardin, chief engineer of the New York
Central, at hearing yesterday before
examiners of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on charges made by labor
unions that the railroads had been ex-
travagant in their expenditures for re-
pair work.
The hearing, which is being held in
the assembly room of the Merchants
Association, was occasioned by the as
sertion of the railway brotherhoods
that the railroads could save 81 .000,-
100000 year through economy in re-
pair and maintenance work, and that
the lowering of wages would be an
necessary if this was done.
After Mr.. Hardin had completed his
direct testimony, intended TO show that
the New York Central was compelled
to send its locomotives to outside shops
for repairs because the Federal rail
road control had left the railroads own
shops incapable of handling all the
work, Mr.. Gregg ross-examined the
witness as to the salaries of officials.
Isn't it true that certain Srailroad
officials received salary increases from
$4,000 10 $4,000 year," asked Mr.
Gregg.
There was talk around the Office of
some officials getting higher pay, but
nothing of the sort came my way" re-
piled Mr.. Hardin.
Mr.. Hardin later declared that he
had no criticism TO make on the gov
ernment supervision of the railroads.
"The fact that we passed through those
war years, when every road was taxed
to its utmost limit and our road went
through two of the hardest winters of
its history, should stand as q record" >"
he said
Most Of the day was devoted to the
presentation of technical facts relative
to the cost of locomotive repair work
The hearing will be continued to-day.

Y. Y. Commissioners Say
Jersey City Mayor, for
Political Reasons, Seeks
to- Change Construction
W Would Cost Million More
Engineers Dismissed, 1t Is
Said, Because They OPP
posed Concrete Blocks

With deadlock between tie New
York and the New Jersey vehicu!ar
tunnel commissions, the New York
commissioners and the engineers of
the New Jersey Commission recently
dismissed by them assert that the New
Jersey Commission, under the domina-
tion of Mayor Hague, Of Jersey City.
is preparing a drive for a radical
change in the construction plans
The plans are drawn and the con-
tracts are ready to be advertised for
castiron twin-tube tunnel 20 feet IN
diamenter. The Hague people, accord
ing to members of the New York Com
mission, have blocked the advertising
for construction for political reasons,
and are getting ready to advocate a
change from the castiron tunnel TO the
so-called O'RourkS reinforced block
plan for building sub-aqueous tunnels,
on the ground that it can be quilt at
lower cost.
About two weeks ago the New Jersey
commission dismissed its consulting
engineers, Colonel w. J. Wjlgus, Major
John A. Bensel, Professor w. H. Burr,
Edward A. Byrne, j, Vipond Davies and
Colonel George Watson.
ne New Jersey comm JSSlOn. S9lQ
its president, T. Albeus Adams, is
obliged to dispense with the services
Of the consulting board as at present
constituted because of the conviction
forced upon it by recent events that
some members of the consulting board
have not been as unbiased and impair
tial in their relations with the respec-
tive tunnel commissions as the nature
and purpose OF the boards employment
require"
Privately, the New York comnis-
sloners and the dismissed consulting
engineers say that the engineers we're
dropped because the Hague political
machine in Jersev City mas found it
impossible to obtain any satisfactory
degree of political consideration from
the chief engineer, Clifford NJ. Holland.
Mr.. Holland and his colleagues turned
in an estimate more than year ago on
the cost Of the tunnel, if made Of cast
iron i'll a manner similar TO the East
River tunnels.
These engineers say that the twin
tubes can be built for $50, 900 900, or
thereabouts, but they have refused to
assent to street widening plan in
Jersey City that viii increase the esti-
mated cost of the tunnel by 81 ,O0O,0
They assert that that is not tunnel con-
struction, but street improvements.
and they do not believe that the State
OF New York will sanction it. The
Hague commission wants the extra
money Tor street widening.
