Accurate figures show that the in
crease in the salaries of officers for
the years 1920-21 has cost the tax
payers, or will cost them, up to
April /. 1922, over one million dol
lars. This takes no account of the
increase in the salary of the Gov
ernor ON $4,000 to $500, and the
increase in the salaries of other state
officials.
1t is not uncommon to see in print
and to hear from the mouths of some
public speakers of the present day
that Mississippi is spending much
less per capita than certain other
states, yet these same writers and
speakers steer clear of making COM
parisons of Mississippi's per capita
wealth as compared to certain other
states. Mississippi is by no means a
wealthy state; 81 per cent of her
population is colored, "a large per
cent of whom is a moving and an
unstable citizenship. But the fact
that Mississippi is spending less
than many other states for some
highly important things should not
lead our people to do foolish things.
A mortgage on the present means
foreclosure of the future. People
cannot always buy and pay for all
they want. There are very many
things which a great many thought
full people find it best to do without.
AS with the citizens, so it is with
counties, and states. Much of the en-

QUERY REMOVAL
OF REFORMATORY
Attorney General Interprets
Legislatures Action.

There is some question whether TIE
Legislature prescribed that the Sta e
Reformatory be moved to the State Far N
at Putnamville or whether the location
was merely recommended, according to
an Interpretation of the law made by
q. S. Lesh, attorney general, in answer
to questions asked by Governor Warren
7. McCray.
The Governor asked further whether
the commission for the removal of the
reformatory could remove the penal farm
to another location. This question was
answered in the negative. The attorney
general also ruled that the recommended
ton of the Legislature that the re-
formatory be adjacent to the State Farm
does not necessarily mean adjoining, but
that it merely means it must be ia the
same general neighborhood.
These questions and answers are taken
to indicate that there is some question
as to whether the reformatory removal
board intends to move the institution to
the State farm as was generally expected.
The board was scheduled to meet with
the Governor this afternoon and to go
to Putnam County tomorrow to look at
the State Farm site.

trace OF her. Almost invariably, when
vessel is sunk, bodies of the drowned
are found, and a mass of floating wreck
age. But never a soul Of all those on
the big 19,O0o-ton ship, never a stick of
wreckage or one thing from the lost ship
was ever discovered
Two hundred and ninety three persisted
when the Cyclops went down. In addi-
ton to her officers and crew she was
bringing north some fifty-one enlisted
men who had been serving on United
States vessels in South American waters
as well as a few civilians returning from
Brazil, among them Maurice Gottschalk,
United States consult at Rio de Janeiro.
What happened to herr There were
many theories, most Of them wild and
untenable; none that seemed to fit the
case thoroughly. Many people jumped
TO the conclusion that she was sunk by
submarine, but, so far as known, there
was no submarine anywhere near that
region. Others, Selling upon the fact
that her commanding officer, Lieutenant
Commander G. w. Worley, was a native
Of Germany, and that a number Of tt ,
crew had German names, thought the
captain and crew had turned traitors and
taken the ship to Germany. Lieutenant
Commander Worley had come to America
as a boy, he had been employed in the
naval auxiliary service for nearly twenty
years with no evidence of disloyalty. But
this belief among some ouside the Navy
that the ship had been taken to Ger
many persisted until the armistice when
there was undeniable proof that no such
vessel had been captured, turned over or
sighted, and the Germans knew no more
about her fave than we did.
THINK SHIP
TURNED TURTLE.
The only theory that seems tenable is
that the Cyclops was caught in some
| sudden West Indian hurricane; that her
cargo shifted, listing the vessel, which
turned turtle and went down. This Is
the only way in which the absence of
wreckage can be accounted for. Our
Golfers Of this type have high steel
beams like cranes, with chains of
! buckets to load and unload coal II she
went down bottom side UT, these huge
steel fingers might have pinned down
everything on deck, allowing nothing to
float to the surface. That is what seems
most probable. But, like everything else
connected with the case, it is all con-
lecture.

side the name of the Cyclops on the
Navy list. The waves that sweep over

and before either the group going east
or the single ship sailing west knew
of the others presence, the Henry ran
into the convoy. In moment, before
there was time even to switch on running
lights to keep clear Of the convoy vessels.
the Henry crashed into the Herman
Frasch. The Frasch was strucs, a ter
rifle blow, the Henry cutting into her
well below the water line She had re-
ceived a mortal wound. and sank in q
few minutes right under the bow OF
the Henry.
Three days afterward, on the other
side Of the ocean, the steamship Ameri-
can collided with the Westgate, sending
the Westgate to the bottom.
Sailors have a superstition that luck
runs In streaks," and it does seem so
For, with the hundreds Of N. o. L. s
vessels running back and forth, only four
were sunk by collision, and two of these
accidents occurred within three days o1
each other.
ONLY EIGHTEEN
VESSELS LOST.
As matter of tact, of the 45o yes
sells actually sailing for the N. o. T. s.
only eighteen were lost-eight sunk by
torpedoes or German mines, four from
collisions and six from other accidents
such as fire or stranding.
One Of these cases was the most mys-
FERROUS thing that happened during the
war-the disappearance Of the Cyclops
carrying a cargo of manganese, bound
for Baltimore. She was proceeding
steadily, with no indication Of any doubt
as to her seaworthiness. She reported
having some trouble with one of her en-
glnes, but her captain felt confident thai
he could easily reach port, though using
one engine would somewhat reduce thC
speed. On March 4, 1918, she put into
Barbados, British West Indies, to take
| aboard coal for the rest Of the voyage
While at that place there was no in
aication Of anything unusual, and among
officers, crew and passengers there
seemed to be no apprehension or fore
bodings of trouble or disaster. After
coaling she sailed away. Many persons
saw her sail; other vessSis hailed her a:
she passed out to sea.

STATE COMMISSION
ORDERS NEW RATES
Public Service Board Declares
East Chicago Rates Are
Discriminatory.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. g.
Another chapter was written today
in the squabble over water rates in
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
when the public service commission
issued an order declaring the pres
ent rates discriminatory and unrea-
sonable and directing that they be
discontinued.
The order said that the schedule
OF meter rates and rules previously
authorized by the commission were
excessive and should be set aside,
and that all water rates, except in
certain cases. should be levied on a
meter basis on and after Sept. 1.
Some time ago. the East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor water company
petitioned for higher rates. The
commission declared the schedule
asked was too low and directed the
filing Of a higher schedule. This
brought a storm OF opposition in
which the protestants carried their
fight TO Gov. McCray. The governor
promised them he would investigate
the matter.
In ordering the rates to become
effective Sept. /. the commission di-
rected that the water company make
a monthly report TO the commission
and submit a copy Of it to the city.
