Out at Sanitarium.

A report from the State Tubercu-

destruction by fire of the power

that institution. The fire occurred
about $50 o'clock The estimated

to say last night whether the pro-

expressed that there was no fire

ed ankle and a bruised arm when
she jumped from an automobile
which was apparently upon the verge
of an explosion Monday evening. DR..

No serious damage was done the au-

FORD LARGEST TAXPAYER.

Henry. Ford is expected to be I'm
Gle Sans largest taxpayer this year
with a payment of 27 million dol
lars. This would indicate an in
come in excess of so million dollars
a year. King George of England and
ex-Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany also
are paying an income to Uncle Sam
every year on their American invest
ments. The tax is taken out of their
dividends here before the money is
sent to them. Treasury officials es-
innate income taxes this year will be
nearly 2 billions under the total of
2 years ago. They figure this years
income and profits taxes will ap-
proximate $1,000, 100000, which is
900 million dollars under last year
and nearly billion dollars under
1919. At the peak Of the war pro-
fits, the Government received more
than A billion dollars a year from
these taxes. The slump is attributed
to the depression and to the increas-
ed exemption allowed this year.

EPPS HEALING CURE
SPREADS VERY FAR
Afflicted Write Him From All
Parts of COuntry-Leader
Far Reaching.

Mr.. E. E. Epps, of Brookhaven.
who was reported in The Leader in
a news story as being benefited by
the ministrations of a travelling ne
gro divine-healer on the streets here
several weeks ago, has been besieged
by letters of inquiry from all over
the country asking about his case,,
which was rheumatism, from which.
he had been suffering and was on
crutches for month. Since the
visit of the itinerant healer, who
had Mr.. Epps to throw away his
crutches at the time and walk on
down the street without them, Mr..
Epps has so greatly recovered that
he is now daily following his avoca-
tion of expert carpenter.
Mr.. Epps says that his mail has
become SO voluminous from ailing
persons, many Of whom are cripples.
that 1t has almost been his intention
at times to employ a secretary or ste
nographer in order to properly an
swer all of them. A number of the
inquiries came from New Orleans
and Shreveport, La, while some Of
them came from as far as. Chicago,
as well as places in other states.
All of which goes to show. at least.
that The Leader. is most excellent
advertising medium. carrying as 1t
did. this exclusive story Of the healer
and Mr.. Epps. although the item was
only published as a matter Of news.
And it also shows that there are
ailing ones all over the country who
are willing to grasp at any straw Of
hope that may possibly lead to re-
covery and release them from tor
ture, affliction and pain, heretofore
unrelieved.

COURT DISMISSES
THE BIRKHEAD SUIT
Governor Wins on Question Of
Venue - Complainant Says
New Suit will be Filed.

Jackson. Miss, May 2. - Tempo
rary if not permanent death was the
portion meted to the 100000 dam
age suit brought by Miss Frances
Birkhead against Governor Lee NJ.
Russell today, when Judge Edwin r.
Holmes sustained the motion to dis
miss the case on the ground that the
suit was laid on the wrong venue.
The court held that the suit should
have been filed either in the Oxford
division-the northern district of
Mississippi-or in the New Orleans
district of Louisiana In effect, the
court ruled that Gov. Russell is
citizen of Mississippi, maintains his
residence and domicile at Oxford, La
fayette county, and that he is living
in the jackson division of the south
ern district 1of Mississippi for fix
ed period as an official of the state.
When Judge Holmes sustained the
motion to dismiss, filed yesterday by
the governors attorneys. he killed
the law suit, so far as the federal
court here is concerned. The motion
was considered as plea in abate-
ment based on improper institution
and venue and granted barred the
case from this court.
This means simply that the plain
tiff will have to file new suit If she
intends to carry the matter further.
Under the ruling Of Judge Holmes
today the new bill must be filed eth
er in Oxford or New Orleans.
Both Miss Birkhead and her attor-
neys said yesterday and this after
noon that the suit will be refiled as
soon as the new declaration and ex-
hibits can be prepared. The plain
tiff and Attorney. Thomas R. Foster
declared the new suit will be filed at
Oxford probably the latter part of
this week.

geant presented, Margaret G. Par

sons, of Boston, visiting relatives of
Mr.. Parsons in this vicinity, and Ric-
cardo Martin, the celebrated tenof of

ceedingly felicitous and the visitors
very much enjoyed the charm of
grace and beauty expressed by the
young ladies, and especially the in
telligenee and fine conception of the
parts taken by those who represent
ed the characters that were boys.
The Maypole dance by the entire
senior class was one of the prominent
and beautiful features, while the
crowning Of lovely Irene Day as
Queen of the May, formed another of

SAYS SON OF DEAD
WOMAN INNOCENT
It. P. Converse Identifies Body
and VIII Fight for Young
Drury's Life.

Hazlehurst, Miss, May 2. - Thos.
P. Converse. husband of Ada Drury
Converse, who was found murdered
in rayine near here. and ber body
burned in February, spent two days
here and left yesterday promising to
return to assist the officers in trying
to bring the one guilty of the MUIR
der to punishment. Mr.. Converse
does not believe Milton Drury, son
of the dead woman, nowfn Jail; is
guilty, He says he will offer proof
to show that young Drury is not the
slayer of the woman.
Accompanied by officers Mr.. Con-
verse went to the grave at Dentville
where the woman's body is buried, it
was exhumed and he completely i
IDENTIFIED the body as that of Ada
Drurys his wife.
The. main points of Identification
were her teeth which he at once sta
ted we're those of his wife. He fur
ther said the hair was that of his
wife. No flesh was found for him to
identity her face, but he was most
positive the teeth and hair were e.
nough upon which to base his conclu-
sion Of her identity.
Attorney E. G.. Williams, of Nc
Comb, has been retained as counsel
for the defendant, and Hugh Barr
Miller, the district attorney, will
handle the states side of the case
alone, unless the board of supervis-
ors see fit to employ counsel to as
sist the prosecutions
Another murder case attracting
attention is that of Monroe Hall who
is accused of killing Davis Middle
ton which on the way home from
church in February. Hall claims that
Middleton made insulting remarks to
Halls wife. These two murder cases
alone will consume an entire week,
the court believes, and special We
nires will be asked for by both sides.
