BAY ST. LOUIS MILITARY COM
PANY HAS BOXING CONTEST.
Howitzer Company No. 155. MissIs-
sippi National Guards, Pulled Off
Interesting Athletic Event Wednes-
day Night-Was Well Attended.

The local community and all loV-
ers of clean sports are indebted TO
the local military organization, How.
itzer Company, No. 1876, Mississippi
National Guard, for The series OF
athletic events in the form of boxing
contests that are held from time to
time on the company's own drill
grounds. This is part of the military
training, ard the public appreciates
the opportunity to witness from
time to time such exhibition of clean
sport.
Messrs. Ed J. Arceneaux, Dick
Cue. c.. A. Breath are among the ac-
tive forces in the sport, including
the cooperation of Captain Curtis l..
Waller.
The event which took place We'd
nesday night was well attended. The
weather was propitious for outdoor
entertainment There were many IN
the audience from the interior county
and along the gulf coast.
AS a preliminary to the main num-
bers there was bout between Young
Heitzmann and Peck Randolph, young
bloods full Of pep and ambition.
These youngsters gave such an exhl-
bition that it will not be long ere
they will appear e-local program
as headliners.
The chief bout was between "DUd"
Carver, of Bay st. Louis, VS.. Joe"
Campo, of New Orleans, six rounds.
This was a return match. Campo
on a previous occasion winning de-
cision over Carver. But this time
the Bay st. Louis athlete "came
back" strong and put joe on the
campo.
In the second contest Dwarf Pc
terson, of Kiln, in six rounds over
Kid Thomas, of Bay ST. Louis, won,
and Young Dick, of New Orleans,
foored Young Moran, of Pass Chris
tan. The last time the two young
blcods fought it was a draw, hence
the interest and anticipation was at
fever heat.
1t was a great card the local man
agement put forth, and the next event
will be looked to with more than or
dinary interest.

SPIRIT OF LETTER CAUSES FU-
RORE IN PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
President Is Quoted AS Stating
Eighteenth Amendment Would
Never Be Repealed, But Public
Opinion Is Changing AS to Its En-
forcement-Letter Was in Re-
sponse to One Written by Mrs.
Robinton-Text Might Be Made
Public Later.

Political circles, according. to a
press telegram. were buzzlng IN ana
around New York Wednesday over a
letter which President Harding has
written to Mrs. Douglas Robinson,
sister of the | te Theodore Roosevelt,
in which he is declared to have stated
that the public mind is undoubtedly
shifting somewhat with regard to the
enforcement of prohibition. Mrs
Robinson, who read the letter to the
members of the Republican Neigh
borhood Association, refused to give
out the text for publication. She said
she would first have to obtain permls-
sion from the president.
Members of the association who
heard the letter read SAID the preSl-
dent expressed the belief that the
eighteenth amendment would never
be abolished, but that there IS no
doubt but that public opinion is shit
ing somewhat in regard to enforce
ment of the act.
The president was reported to have
said that he expects prohibition to be
an issue for many years to come
Prohibitionists, he said, would always
clamor to enforce the law, while anti
prohibitionists would work to see 1t
weakened.
Mrs. Robinson said a Republican
had written to her protesting against
the prohibition issue. She said that
she felt she should call the letter to
the presidents attention, and she did
so, getting his letter in response.
Later advices are to the effect that
Mrs. Robinson is being so pressed for
the full text of the letter that she
probably will give it to the press for
publication. It was. asked at the
White House whether the letter could
be given out and the president said
it was Mrs. Robinson's letter and she
could do with it as she pleased. He
did not denV its contents.

Jackson, Miss, Nov, 13.-The Mis-
sissippi Supreme Court this morning
affirmed the decision of Chancellor
Y ]. Stricken, in the Kinds County
Chancery Court, imposing fines and
nenalties amounting to $8,055,O75
on the fire insurance companies form
erly operating in the State, charged
with violating the antitrust law oy
COnspiring to control rates
The affirmation carries with 1t the
full penalties imposed by the lower
court. About 13O insurance COM
panies are involved, the heaviest pen
alty against any company beihg
S195,875. State Revenue Agent
Stokes V. Robertson filed the suit
nearly year ago. -,
The decision of the court, although
it clearly affirms Chancellor Strick-
er's finding, both on the evidence and
the numerous legal points involved,
comes from an evenly divided bench.
Technically Decides Case.
There are six members of the Su-
preme Court, and it is the rule of the
tribunal that when its members are
equally divided, the decision must
affirm the lower court.
The members could not agree on
all the law points involved, beng
split in several important phases ana
four opinions were read.
Justices Cook, Ethridge and Hol-
den were of the opinion that the evil
dence was sufficient to support the
finding of the lower court, and that
all of the companies, with but five
exceptions, are guilty of having en-
tered into a trust and combine to Tx
rates as alleged in the bill OF COM
plant.
The companies against whom the
Supreme Court dismissed charges
were the Columbia National Fire In
surance Company, Continental lnsur-
ance Company, Union Insurance So
ciety of Canton, ST Paul Marine FIRE
and Insurance Company, and the FL
deity Phenix Insurance Company
Three Favored Dismissal.
Justices Anderson, Sykes and
Smith, the latter being chief justice,
were of the opinion that the evidence
was insufficient 10 support the ind
ing of the lower court and held tnat
none Of the appellant companies was
guilty Of entering INTO a trust or
combine. They hold the bill of com
plant should be dismissed as to all
of the companies.
There is now in hands of receivers
nearly million dollars in funds of
garnishment issued in favor of the
State revenue agent.
Attorneys for the insurance com
panies point out that these impound-
ed funds furnish everything on which
the State revenue agent can posi-
bly, hope to collect his Judgment since
ali the companies have quit business
in the State, no longer have agents
here, and no legal process can reach
them outside the State.
Because Of the institution of this
suit every old line fire insurance COM
pany withdrew from the State. Hun
/ dreds of insurance men were thrown
out of employment and the governor
was strongly importuned to call a
special session of the legislature to
enact laws that would put such liti-
cation to rest.

It was James Whitcomb Reilly who
wrote:
..y-asn't il pleasant, o brother mine,
IN those old days of the lost sunshine
Or youth-when the Saturdays chores were
through,
And the sundays wood in the Kitchen
too,
nd we went visiting, me and you,'
Out to Old Aunt Mary's?"
Supplementing this with an orig
inal verse, the house committee, +. j..
L,a.oste, chairman, has sent out invl-
tat.ons to a genuine, old-fashioned
harm dance at the Bay-W Waveland
Yacht and Athletic Club on the eve
ming of next Saturday, November 20,
as follows:
50 come and put on your overalls,
The hat with the. tattered brim,
,,or a sunbonnet lass in her gingham call,
I'd her to the dance do bring.
nd let's go ffolicking, me and you
Down to the Bay Yacht Club.
Perhaps no entertainment by the
pop,.Iar Waveland Club has been
o exten lively planned as the forth
coming barn dance. Every feature
fo rthe occasion is planned with care,
and interior appointments for effec-
tiveness have been worked out with
are and exactitude that will leave
nothing undone. The Echo has been
told to say nothing of the plans. But
who could resist the telling? For in
stance, the interior Of the club house
will be practically transformed into
the appearance of a big barn, with
all the characteristics and atmosphere
of the place where hay and fodder IS
stacked, and touches here and there
will add to the realism of the arrange
ment. And possibly there will be
haystacks, a typically-looking barn
door representing the entrance and
other conceits that minds have been
working on for days and nights past:
Then there will be ''lads' and
''lassies" in overalls, in aprons and
5unbonnets, end further feature will
be the big spectacular barn dance
given at time of the evening that the
farmers" in charge will announce.
No event yet given by the club will
prove so interesting and thoroughly
enjoyable. This is in keeping with
the announcement made at the end
of the gay summer season by the
management of the club, to the effect
that a program of entertainment
would be put On from time to time
by. Observation-Disclosures. novelties and
many diversities.
A large attendance is already as
sured. For the occasion the follow
ing schedule will obtain: Member
alone or accompanied by lady, $1.OO ;
additional ladies, so cents. Visiting
gentlemen, when vouched for by a
member in good standing, $1.00. War
tax, 10 per cent additional. Cards
to be had on application any evening

HINES RAILROAD LUMBERTON
KILN.
Authorized by the Interstate Com
n,erce Commission 10 Operate AS
Common Carrier.
paul Wooten in the New Orleans
Times-Picayune.)

Times-Picayune.)
Washington, Nov. 17.-Ihe Ed
ward Hines Yellow Pine Trustees, a
corporation, Thursday was author-
lied by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to operate its railroad
from Lumberton to Kiln, Miss, as
common carrier. The line is nifty
two miles long and was proJecSed
primarily to facilitate the applicants
iumberin'. operation. The residents
of the territory, however, were in
lstent that the line undertake COM
mon carrier service. This led the
Edward Hines interests to apply tor
the necessary authority. The Gun
and Ship Island Railroad objected,
but the commission has overruled It's
protest.
The Hines line connects with the
Gulf and Ship Island and the New
Orleans and Northeastern railroads
at Lumberton. 1t also has physical
connection at a point short distance
north of Kiln with the tracks of the
Weston Lumber Company's logging
road. which connects with the New
Orleans and Northeastern railroad at
Picavune, Miss. 1t is stated that the
territory tributary to the line con-
aims 100000 acres of timber lands,
100000 acres of cut-over lands, and
5000 to 1000 acres in pasture and
under cultivation.
The main traffic to be handled by
Che new line is forest products. 1t IS
,laimed that the lumber industry Will
furnish an average of more than
5000 carloads a year for hfteen
wears. There are two large turpen-
line camps on the line, each of which
s expected to ship 500 carloads a
yea,. While much Of the standing
timber in the territory served is own
ed by the applicants, there are large
areas, in small tracts, owned by lndl-
viduals.
1t is predicted that by the time
the timber is cut the agricultural de-
velopment will furnish sufficient trat-
fic TO sustain the road. The appll-
cants offered testimony to how that
they had met with success In deVel-
oping cut-over lands in Wisconsin and
that they expected to employ similar
methods in developing the lands serv-
ed by the railroad.
The applicants estimate the popu-
lation to be served at Z9,Oo5. Inns
estimate includes all of Hancock and
Pearl River counties and 25 per cent
of Lamar county.
Line Cost $7s1, ,O94.
The applicants state that their con-
struction accounts show that the cost
of logging roads and the 25 miles OF
track constructed by them was $751;.
1868. It appeaEs-that--the .~cast of
he PASS miles built by the Gulf
Company was $322,158.67. On a
proportionate basis the cost of the
1915 miles built by that company,
which forms part of the applicants
railroad, would be $203,938.87, thus
making the total cost of the line
1871, ,094.55.
In August, 1922, the first month of
operation as a common carrier in IN
trastate commerce, freight shipments
totaled 5,496.4 tons, on which he
average haul was 42.1 miles. Test,
mony was offered to the effect that 80
per cent of the lumber shipments and
IS per cent of other commodities be,
longed to the applicants. During the
same month 674 revenue passengers
were carried.
