BONAR LAW MINISTRY WILL NOT BREAK UP
Rumors Of Resignation Branded As
 False By Cabinet Member

LONDON, April 19.-"We are here and we shall remain"
 In this tersely emphatic sentence Sir William Joynson-H Hicks, postmas- ter general in the Bonar Law cabinet. answered recent intimations that the present government was in imminent likelihood of resigning.
 Sir William was speaking before the Primrose league Thursday when he took up the cudgel against the opposition which has developed in the House of Commons.
 "The prime minister" he declared, twill not please his opponents by re- tiring on the ground of ill health. We hope and trust that before long he will be fully restored to his usual vigor and power"
 "The cabinet" Sir William conclud- ed, lis not going to break up to please those who would like to see its collapse"
 The procurement, which obvious ly was authorized by Downing street. is significant in that it is the first statement by a member of the cabinet regarding rumors of Bonar Laws early retirement from the premier ship. Joynson-H Hicks appealed to those ministers formerly associated with Lloyd George to work for a cause which we have commonly at heart rather than damn it with faint praise or with ill-concealed opposi- tion."
 The socialist party, Sir William m flung out in closing, 'is developing into reeking communism, which this country will never adopt"

 Long Probe Made.
 Two months of active investiga tion by government agents in this country and Cuba, preceded filing of the injunction suit. Although the department of justice plans were officials, the move made today was clothed in secrecy. no indication be- ing given that the government con templated action so dramatic.
 Officials explained that the civil proceedings properly came first in the governments procedure, the de- sign being to use the injunction to prevent further increases in raw sugar prices which are reflected to the family sugar bowl through the wholesaler and retailer. The phase logically would follow, officials said, if Attorney General Daugherty de- termines the evideIiee warrants con viction on conspiracy charges, which resulted In the skyl ock eting of sugar prices since early February.
 Still another line of attack was probable, aimed at the profits of those involved in sugar speculations. Acting Attorney General Seymour said that in the injunction proceed ings the government probably would make an additional prayer to the court mot" contained in todays peti- tion. striking at the profits of spe- culators. It is proposed to ask the court for an order annulling the speculative trades since February and prevent settlements being ma de between brokers and customers. This also was said to be another unpre- cedented move in antitrust litiga- tion.

EMPTY ST0MACHS BRING DISORDERS
 AGAIN UPON RUHR.
French Claim Berlin Waging Losing Battle In Eco-
 homie War

PARIS. April 19-Empty stomachs have started the Huhr seething with demonstrations again, forerunners of the ultirpate collapse of German re- sistance, according to adyices here.
 While the German mark is crashing ana bodies of unemployed Germans clashing in riotous conflicts with the police throughout the occupied zones. French officials declare that their squeeze play" against the German industrialists is bearing increasing returns. Transportation has greatly improved, they say, and the ultimate victory is we'll under way"
 The new outbreaks reported in Agence Radio dispatches Friday from Dusseldorf came after confident pre- dietions of high French officials that such is the cost to Germany of her passive resistance policy that "after a few days more of toDogganning mark, Germany must admit she has lost"
 At Mulheim groups of unemployed armed workmen barricaded them- selves in houses and behind natural vantage points when they defied the police who sought to disperse them. According to the reports reaching here, there was some shooting at Null helm, with the possibility of casual ties.
 DemOhStfat1On At Essen.
 At Essen, according to further dis patches, crowd of unemployed staged a demonstration before the city hall and sent an ultimatum to the authorities, demanding an in- crease in doles The leaders declared they would wait but a few hours for the governments reply. AS a result of the possibility of trouble, ffremen and police were ordered held in read mess for riot Ollty.
 All of this accumulating difficulty for the German authorities is pointed to by French officials as hastening the day of German capitulation.. The passive resistance campaign, the French point out. already has done this to German finances:
 ]. Sent the mark hurting to new low levels.
 2. Sent the floating debt up to over four times it's size on January l.
 3. Necessitated in the expenditure for maintaining resistance many times the sum collected in taxes to support it.
 l. Effected complete failure of the last German loan, and, in short, started Germany on the run toward catastrophe.

FILES INJUNCTION
 SUIT IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, April 19.-United States Attorney William Hayward filed a civil suit for the government today to enjoin the New York Coffee sociation from further trading in sugar futures unless backed up by actual ownership or control of the sugar dealt with.
 Subpoenas were issued for 23 mem bers and officers of the exchange and it's clearing association for 8 hearing April 30 on the application of the government for a preliminary in- junction against trading in sugar fu- lures pending a final hearing.
 Investigators of the department of justice, who prepared the ground for the governments action, refused to discuss the statement of Assistant Attorney General Seymour in Wash ington that there was a possibility of criminal proceedings in the course of the governments investigation Of the high price of sugar.
 United States Attorney Hayward in statement announcing the action of the government, said: This is a united effort on the part of the United States officials to make the gamblers in sugar remove their rou- lette wheel from the American break fast table"
 The raw sugar futures market which opened to 10 points higher today than yesterdays close, broke bodily when news of the govern ment's injunction proceedings reached the floor. Quotations for September raw futures dropped per pendicularly S9 points from 6.79c to 5.90c within few minutes. May futures broke 50 points and July futures lost 76 points. There was a rally and the market closed from n ~ F. days quotations.
 The spot market quotations for raw sugar reported by the news and one sale of $500 bags of Cuban raw sugar reported at 3-s cents a pound cost and freight, the highest price re- corded since 1920

DIXIE HIGHWAY

Considerable opposition to the
river route is being voiced in many
sections of the county. The people
of Pearson are strong in their pro-
tests, and it seems that they have
pretty good ground for voicing COM
plant.
There is no denying the fact that
the people of that section are as
much entitled to have the highway
through their town as have the
people living along the route select
ed.
And many believe that the high
way could be built and maintained
by way of Pearson at much
lower cost than over the river route.
Be that as it may, there is pretty
certain to be quite a bit of feeling
engendered over the matter.
In the meantime travellers are
finding it almost impossible to
negotiate the river bottoms on the
way to Florence, and notwithstand-
ing the free services of the county
tractor are daily being charged out
landish sums by farmers for being
tOWed out of the bog and holes.

day conducted test on the farm
of r. J. Weathers, eight miles south
of town. About one and one-half
acres of cotton, down near the
woods, convenient to the winter

Monday afternoon, using about a
gallon of the Hills Mixture.
Tuesday morning a party went
back to see what the results were.
Only one live weevil was found on
this section. A handful of weevils
were caught Monday afternoon, and
placed under Il screen which went
over the cotton. They were dropped
under this screen, and on the leaves

OPEN THE SCHOOLS

One of our Rankin County friends
complained Saturday that there is
a good deal of talk about not al
lowing children living in Rankin
County to attend the Jackson
schools the coming session. We
haven't Investigated this and we
hope our friends fears are ground
less. A great many children living
in Rankin County attend the local
schools and pay their tuition. These
children and their parents spend
money in Jackson, they do their
part towards making this city
and Jackson should not close its
schools to them unless there is
some exceptionally good reason for
so dOing.-Monday Morning Leader.
1t seems to us that a neighbor
county, many of whose business
men and citizens are former citi-
zenS of this county, could not afford
TO refuse our children the privilege
of their schools, and especially
since a goodly tuition is paid regu-
larly. 1t is true that these children
and their parents spend the greater
portion of their money in Jackson.
And not only these people, but
people all over the county trade
there, thereby contributing more
than their share to the prosperity
and progress of the capital city.
We, too, hope that this fear is
false, and that the children in
Rankin county may be allowed to
continue their school work in that
city.
