The Mississippi Legislature con-
venes in the second regular biennial
session Tuesday at noon. Law-mak-
ers arrived in great numbers Monday
and Monday night and continued to
reach Jackson Tuesday morning.
Around the hotel lobbies the air was
full of gossip and conjecture as to the
first sitting Tuesday. The main point
of immediate interest was discussion
of the election of the presiding officer
of the Senate. Illness of Lieutenant
Governor Homer Casteel makes the
choice of the president protein an
immediate necessity and one of vital
importance. AS many as eight SEN
ators were being mentioned as candi-
dats or prospects for the vacant place

ment of the assembling Legislators

former comrads and opponents wos
the presence of several Mississippians

morning and was busy mingling and
talking with friends all day. Hubert
Stephens former congressman and
candidate for the United States Sen
ate to succeed John Shary Williams,
was present. Congressman 7. U. SITS.
son was also visitor in the capital
but left later in the day Tuesday for
Washington.
Among the senators considered as
prospects for presiding officer of the
upper legislative body, Senator Love

able record in this body and has Hlled
many important posts most ably.
Another senator who mas strong
following for the place is Hon. W. 6.

to figure in the balloting for the sen.
ate presidency are Senator W. J. East
Of Senatobia, Senator Fred Smith, OF
Blue Mountain, and Senator w. B.
Roberts, of Bolivar county. The con-
test for this office is the first business
which will engage the attention OF

Declare ArgOnaut Mine Losses Could
 Have Been Averted

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 16. - The loss of 47 lives in the Argonaut mine fire last August in all probability would have been averted, according to witnesses appearing today before the Investigating committee appointed by Governor Stephens. if the fan at the head of the MuldoOn shaft of the mine had been stopped immediately after the fire was discovered.
 T. A. Rickard. western editor of the Engineering and Mine Journal-Press, and a well known mining authority. said stopping the fan from sucking air out through the Muldoon would have allowed the heavier pure air to force the gas-laden atmosphere in the lower Argonaut levels upward. a process in which the draft created by the fire would have assisted.

 Wife Staying Charge

PITTSBURG, Pa. Oct. 16.-Friends and relatives of Jack Edwards. for mer policeman of Johnstown, Pa, who is serving a life sentence in the West ern penal penitentiary here for wife murder. today said they would appeal tothe state pardon board for his re- lease. The appeal will be based on Edwards story that he killed his wife when he learned she was in love with her son-in-law.
 Word reached the prison late yes terday that Edwards daughter was dead. When the news was imparted to the prisoner he declared: i've been silent for 12 years. for I did not want my daughters home broken up. But now that she is dead I'm going to tell the story"
 Edwards said that he valued his daughters happiness more than his own life and that this prompted him to conceal the motive for the killing He killed his wife, he added. when he discovered that she and the sou-in-law had been intimate. 'I tried to pre- serve my daughters love and respect for her mother," the prisoner said.

WEEKS ARGUES FOR INCREASE
 IN ARMY SIZE
Tells President Military Policy Cannot Be Maintained
 With Reduction
NO CHANGE IN BELIEF
Only Most Urgent Economy Would Warrant Continuing
 Present Reduction

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-(By the Associated Press)- The unshaken opinion of Secretary Weeks and his military advisers that the nations mil itary policy cannot be adequately sus- tained with a regular army of less than 13,000 officers and 150,000 men was again laid before President Hard ing today by the war secretary who was accompanied on his visit to the White House by General Pershing.
 The conference had to do with esti- mates submitted by the war depart ment for the coming year calling for total appropriations of $329, ,5S0, as compared with current appropriations of $340, ,SS4 ,122. The army budget, how ever, still must be approved by the director of the budget.
 The war secretary made it plain that he had not changed his belief that the present army of 12,000 officers and 125,OOO men could not fulfill all of the missions prescribed by the na- tional defense act. The new estimates do not provide for an increase in the regular force above these figures, but Mir Weeks has officially expressed the judgement of the war department that only the most urgent reasons for national economy would warrant con tinuing the army at that reduced size.
 The principal item in the estimates submitted comes under support of the regular army" at $212,, ,,707,379, as compared with 223,411,5 ,512, for the cur rent year. Included in that item, how ever, is the pay, subsistence and cloth ing for all branches of the army, in cluding reserve officers training corps the overhead expense of all posts, camps, schools, hospitals and other portions of the military plant.
 The estimates provide increase for maintenance of the national guard and various training corps at the expense of the regular establishment in order to keep within the budget figures. For the guard, total of $33,910,022 is pro posed, against $25,S15,000 this year; for the organized reserves $2,62S, ,1O9, with no exactly comparable figure; for the reserve officers training corps $4,401 ,00O as compared with $3,1O0,10O this year, for civilian military training camps $2,972,150 as compared with $1 500, ,000.
 These figures with the smaller items make up a military budget for next (Continued on Page Two)

BRITAIN MAKES
 DEBT PAYMENT
$5O,O00,000 Is Amount of Payment; Similar Sum Is
 Expected November ,

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.- A pay ment of $50.OO0,OOO from, the British government on account of interest on Great Britain's obligations to the Unit ed States was received today by the treasury through the federal reserve bank at New York. A second pay ment of approximately the same amount is expected on November 15. The treasury announced that the mon- ey received today would be used to provide in part for the $13700,000 of interest which became due and paya- ble today on Liberty Bonds and treas ury certificates. Provision is made in the Liberty loan act that interest on the war loans should be utilized for this purpose.
 The payment today by the British treasury. which was made through J P. Morgan and Company, is the first installment of the $5,75O, O,00O,0OO Brit ish debt to be paid since May, 1919 when such payments were suspended under a tentative agreement between the United States and the debtor na tiOns. Up to that time Great Britain had paid approximately $250, 100000.

WORLD RECORD FOR SPEED SET
 BY ARMY FLYER
Winner of Pulitzer Trophy Astounds Officials With
 Tremendous Speed

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, Oct. 16. -Traveling at greater speed than any human being ever before at tempted, Lieutenant R. L. Maughn, a United States army pilot, today set a new worlds airplane speed record by covering a one kilometer course at the rate of 24S.5 miles an hour.
 The record was made during off cial government tests of speed planes that participated in the national air races at Selfridge Field last week, and was electrically timed by officers from McCook Field.
 Aeronautical engineers and army and navy officers who witnessed the flight, were astounded The demon stration, they declared, proved that there was no limit to the speed that might be attained in the air.
 Lieutenant Vaughan made the rec ord-breaking flight in the same plane race on Saturday, The machine is a Curtiss army bi-plane powered with Curtiss 400-horsepower engines.
 After setting the new record, Lieu tenant Vaughan continued his flight to show that the tremendous pace could be maintained. On four laps he was timed at the rate of 232.22 miles an hour and his average for eight laps was 229 miles an hour.
 Examination of the machine after the flight disclosed that it was in per feet condition, and that nothing in the nature of a trick flight figured ir the record performance.
 Later Lieutenant Vaughan added tc the astonishment of pilots and officials on the field by flying approximately one mile with the machine on it's side The feat was in reality a flight with out the aid of wings.
 In other trials during the day the speed record for monoplanes was shat tered by one navy and three army machines.
 Lieutenant Barnsdale covered the one kilometer course at the rate O. 191 miles an hour and Lieutenant Whitehead made 1S7. They drove Loening-Packard planes. Captain ] Hunter. in Thomas Morse, was l timed at 179 miles an hour and Lieu l tenant Galloway in the navy's Beelin' 1 racer, made TIT miles an hour.

HOOVER BANS
 REPUD|ATION
 OF WAR LOANS
Does Not Believe Any Public Official Would Approve
 Cancellation
BRITAIN TO PAY DEBTS
Hoover Convinced Loans Can Be Repaid in Reasonable
 Time Without Strain

TOLEDO, O., Oct. 16.-Repudiation of the loans made by the United States to the allied and associated na- tions during the war would undermine the whole fabric of international good faith, Secretary of Commerce Hoover a member of the allied debt commits sion declared tonight in an address here. He added that he did not be- lieve any public official either in the United States or any other country could or should approve their cancel lation.
 These loans are in fact, debts ow- ing to our taxpayers" MT. Hoover said. "They were made at the urgent request of the borrowers and under their solemn assurances of repayment. The loans were individual to each na- tion. They have no relation to other nations or to other debts. The Ameri can taxpayers did not participate in re- parations and acquired no territory or any other benefits undler the treaty as did our debtors. There is no ques- tion as to the moral or contractual obligation.
 With the exception of some minor amounts, perhaps five percent, I am convinced that these debts can be re- paid in some reasonable period of time without realization of the oft-expressed undue strain on the debtor countries or the threat of flood of goods from { debtor countries in such quantity as would endanger employment of the fac tories and workmen of the United States.
 ''The proposals for further postpone
 ment of payment of interest for a cer- tain number of years arise from the
 belief that certain countries cannot physically make these payments at the present time without undue strain, or that postponement of interest would contribute to general economic sta.
 bility and the more rapid recovery of these countries in which assistance from us and are arranging their pay ments. .afs sRsE The proposition, therefore, narrows itself to debtors on the continent. Out annual payments from the whole of our continental debtors would amount to total of about $350, 100000 per year for interest and amortization. The burden of payment falls with different
 weight upon each of the 19 different debtors. Quitting the possible five per i (Continued on Page Two)
