Death Of Lawrence W. Powers.

When our community awoke this
morning, already saddened by recent
deaths of prominent and beloved cit
izens, another shadow fell over the
accustomed joy of our life together.
AS citizens passed along the high
ways, thinking most perhaps Of the
last rites said only yesterday after
noon in memory of the lamented DR..
N. A. Mcleod, the message of death
was passed again and this time it
was" Lawrence Powers is dead"
Every heart of every friend beat
In unison with the bereft brothers.
Messrs. Homer C. and Magnus R..
Powers. The three brothers, the re-
naming members of the family of
seven. had made their home together
at the Homer Powers residence after
the location of the latter here as
manager. Of the telephone company
several years ago. s.-a.sse
The Powers family moved to
Brookhaven in 1910. The mother
to whom her sons we're born near
Wesson. had passed to her reward
some ten years previous to their re-
moval here, the father dying in
Brookhaven in 1917 and a sister in
1916, so that only the two brothers
now remain of the large family.
More than three months ago the
deceased, whose condition became se-
rious, was removed from his broth.
er's home and placed in the local
hospital where he remained until
death called him at 1920. this morn
ing, Nov. %, 1922.
Mr.. Powers was one of the most
admirable gentlemen Brookhayen
has known. His friends were limit
ed only by his acquaintances. He
was always courteous, considerate,
and of an even, dependable temper
ament under all circumstances. Up
to the last moments of his fine life,
he made no demands for himself but
received with deep appreciation the
interest and attention shown him by
nurses and friends. At the time of
his retirement from the activities of
life on account of failing health he
was in the insurance business. He
was 40 years of age and unmarried.
Mr.. Powers worth and popularity
were tested some years ago when.
he became a candidate for Mayor of
the city, he receiving more votes in
the first primary than the able and
popular incumbent, and won over
the third candidate for the office at
that time by 128 votes.
He was loyal member of the
Presbyterian church and will be bur-
led tomorrow at three in the after
noon from the place where he wor-
shipped.
The world seems poorer without
such men as Lawrence Powers; and
they are relinquished only because
we are powerless to keep them. In
the realms of higher life faith tells
us they walk the ways we may trav-
erse later on for
He who beholds our sadness
Hath to the trusting heart assurance
spoken of that blest land, where,
free from care and pain,
Fond friends unite again.
Until that time may the life gone
out be emulated and its memory
cheer and comfort those who mourn
most today.

'BIRKHEAD DAMAGE
CASE FACES DELAY
Case Against Governor Russell
Win Probably be Postponed
Indefinitely.

Oxford, Miss, Nov. II. Indefi-
mite delay in the legal battle of Miss
Frances G. Birkhead OF New Or
leans against Governor Lee M. Rus
sell was seen here when it was re-
ported that Judge e. r. Holmes, who
will sit in the case, had announced
he will limit the next session Of the
federal court to one wek.
The suit for 100000 damages
filed by Miss Birkhead against Gov
ernor Russell is scheduled for trial
December 4th in the federal court of
the Western division of the North
fern Mississippi District along with
approximately 130 other cases and it
was not believed that the Russell
case will reach a hearing during the
short session.
Twelve civil cases are included in
the docket with the suit against
Governor Russell, and it was said all
of these are ready for trial. In adj
dition i22 indictments for criminal
offenses are pending. Still more IN
dictments are expected to be return
ed by the federal grand jury when
the court convenes.
Six of the civfl cases on the dock
ct are against railroads. and in one
thirteen witnesses have been sum-
moned. Two or three of these, 1t
was said. will consume the entire
time of the weeks session.

THREE DIE WHEN
TRAIN WRECKS CAR
Driver Mistakes Meaning Of
Whistle Blast Near
BOgalusa.

Bogalusa, La, Nov. 21. - Three
persons were killed and one injured
probably fatally. when New Or
leans, Great Northern railroad train
ran down the automobile in which
they were riding at crossing mile
from Bogalusa at 10 a. M, today.
The dead are:-
A. L. Sharp, SO years old, farm
er.
Mrs. A. L. Sharp, 4S years old.
L. E. Toney, 80 years old.
= The injured is Mrs. Mary Smith,
SIS years old, skull fractured, both
legs broken. bruises and cuts and in
ternal injuries.
The four motorists were engaged
in farming near Bush, La, twenty
miles from Bogalusa, and were on
their way here. Persons who saw the
accident said the driver of the car
must have seen the approaching train
because the car slowed down mo-
ment, then started forward rapidly
when there was blast from the
whistle. The driver is believed to
have thought the blast was signal
for the train to stop at Lees creek,
flag station two miles from Boga-
lusa, but it was really a warning
signal to clear the crossing. Failure
to pay further attention to the train
until too late to stop is blamed for
the tragedy.
The train, which had left New Or.
leans, carried a number of persons
from That city. 1t was impossible to
stop it to prevent the accident, in
vestigation showed. The smash de-
molished the auto and hurled the oc-
cupants out, one of them being pick
ed up 80 feet from the crossing. Mrs
Sharp and Mrs. Smith were placed on
the train and taken to Bogalusa, Mrs
Sharp dying on the train.
Mrs. Smith, VINO resides with heI
son-in-law, A. Bush. is in Elizabeth
Sullivan Memorial Hospital here and
her chances Of recovery are remote.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sharp are survived
by eight sons and daughters. Mr.
Toney is survived by relatives al

Tins will be taken 10 Bash for bu-

ALBANY, March 8--The Tolbert-
Ullman concurrent resolution providing
for home rule for cities to-day cleared
the most formidable Of the hurdles
placed in its path when it was amended
50 as to meet several objections made
by Legislative leaders. The measure
has the Endorsement of the state con-
ference OF Mayors and the New York
State Association, together with the
support of influential membcrs of both
houses.
The subject was taken up at con-
ference of legislative leaders and home
rule proponents with Governor Miller
to-day. The meeting resulted in num-
Der of amendments being agreed upon.
One exempts county governments with
IN the City of New York from the nro-
visions of the resolution. This change
was demanded by New York and Kings
County officials at recent hearing on
the measure before the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee. Another amend
1nent gives the Legislature authority
to pass city legislation in an emergen-
cy. Such legislation can only be con-
eidered on an emergency message from
the Governor. A two-thirds, instead of
majority vote, would be required to
pass city bills.
