are the local voters that there wasn't
a semblance of a howl over this COM

busiest thoroughfares, which forms

Speeches "Eaten Up"
AS for speeches, they are eaten
up. The whole run of candidates
hire the biggest halls they can find,
jam them to overf1owing and then
get the people to come back for more.
Now there are street corner ha-
rangues and soap box orations about
to start all over the downtown dis
trict. Theaters already have been
jammed with daily noon-day meet
ings. the speakers reaching those
outside through amplifiers. Just one
thing is lacking in this campaign
there aren't the loudspeakers on
every pole in the downtown district
that there were when former Mayor
Thompson used to campaign. Still,
talk is plentiful, to be had anywhere
and most everywhere without even
seeking.
And when the presidential candi-
dates themselves come to town the
top comes OFF to make way for the
demonstrations. The Republican vice
presidential nominee first drew a

standard bearer of Democracy to
outdo Dawes, while, once Davis had
passed, La Toilette drew in behind
a theatrical display. Traffic rules in
those times go by the boards, at the
same time downtown travel gets tied
in a knot.

MISSISSIPPI OUT
 WITH SNAKE STORY
Nineteen Rattlers Found To-
 gether Near Hattiesburg

HATTIESBURG, Miss, Sept. 27.- Especial. )-The biggest den of snakes of any kind yet heard of in South Mis- sissippi since the Volstead act became law, was discovered in the Sixteenth section in Lamar county last week, ac- cording to story brought to this city yesterday by Albert Davis, who resides on Route No. 4, Sumrall.
 Nineteen rattlers, Sbig and little, one of which weighed more than 10 pounds, were discovered and sent to a place, by way of "grubbing hoe" where the best snake doctor in the Choctaw na- tion would be unable to relieve them.
 On last Saturday, MT. Davis said, G. W. Burto discovered den of snakes five miles southwest of 0leh. The next day a party consisting of Ed. Davis, Reese Dayisa Albert Dawiss W. G. She'll grove, H. $. Shellgrove and Fred Craft, following the course laid down by a sheep dog, stopped at gopher's hole and began to make an investigation. Far down in the earth the uncanny sounds made by rattlers and singing came. A long pole with a sack attached to it as placed at the entrance of the hole and one by one the little snakes. and larger ones began coming out.
 Each reptile was killed either by clubs or with a hoe. NinS of them were 19 inches long, while eight measured 15 inches each in length. After the little one had been drawn from their homes the cattlement began digging into the holes They found two enormous rat tiers at the end; both coiled up and showing signs of fight, but the .'grubbing hoe" soon ended their existence. One of the rattlers was five feet three inches long. It weighed 10 pounds and the other almost as long and weighed eight pounds.

Tn long hand in a formidable looking book. He halts. every little, while over the pronunciation of an English name, which he proceeds to make unintelli. gible
 The American listens with every sign of understanding, though ten to one his Knowledge of Spanish is limited to "Muchas gracias" or "Buenas dias." When the reading is done, he signs the entry in the book; so do the judge and the witnesses. He is now divorced. There remains, to be affixed, to a copy Of the decree, signatures of the gov ernor. the secretary of state and the American consul, but these are mere supplementary authorizations.
 It happens not infrequently that the scene just pictured is repeated on the same, or the following day, with the difference that the plaintiff is accom- panied by a woman, and that the de- cree read to them certifies to their marriage. This simplifies matters for the governor, for he can then append his signature to the legal copies of both decrees-of marriage and of di- vorce-at the same instant.
 Simplicity rules the proceedings. The divorce decree inscribed in the big book of the court. which the applicant signs, sets forth that Senor x affirms that ''it is his will to be divorced from Sonora K" The judge must decree the divorce.
 This is one of the two types of di- vorces granted under the Yucatan law, that upon request of one party to the marriage. The other is the divorce upon demand of both parties. The formula is much the same.
 Under this law there is no such thing as submitting reasons other than the mere wish. An American needs only an interpreter. It is immaterial whether you object because your wife burns the toast for breakfast or has tried to poison you. There is no trial. A functionary of the court takes down names, addresses, ages, disposition of property and chill dren, and an agreement, if any, regard ing maintenance, and the data goes to the judge.
 CarrilIO Called An Idealist
 "The utter freedom from restraint upon the man or woman bent upon following the dictates of their feelings in their marital adjustments, while a fragrant offense to the conservative minded, is the very essence of this legislation, the characteristic that in the view of its advocates gives it its ideal quality, and makes it departure in the direction of a truer, more wholesome marriage"
 This comment was made by man who came here to get a divorce against his wifes will, after fifteen years of marriage. It is characteristic of the at titude of those Merida divorce-seekers, who regard the frankness of Yucatan as

MINER WIFE 1. CONFESSES PLOT
 TO KILL MATE
Illinois Woman Accuses Present Husband Or
 Urging Her On

MARION, Ill.,. Sept. 27.-Confession that she had poisoned her former hus- band, Joseph Harrington, 3A,; in plot with Robert Tate, whom ,llae married last Tuesday, twenty days after Her rington's death was made today by Mrs. Ruby Harrington Tat, 30, in the Williamson county jail hers.
 Poison placed in a cup of peas in Herrington's lunch box taken to the coal mine at Johnston, City, where both men worked, Mrs. Tate said, was the cause of his illness and teaspoon and half of poison placed in glass of buttermilk was. the final cause of death. Mrs. Tate asserted Tate put the poison in the peas and she admin istered the final dose.
 Tate, former boarder at the Her rington home, denied the conspiracy. The two were arrested at West Frank fort shortly after last midnight.
 Sheriff Galligan ordered the arrest of Harry Everly and John Downey. brothers-in-law of Tate, on suspicion of having knowledge of the case.
 The sheriff said Tate told him this afternoon he had asked his brother-in- law to watch his actions the morning the crime was committed, as someone was going to be poisoned and he did not want to be blamed. -
 This was the first material admis- sion made by Tate, the sheriff said In her original confession, made in the jail at West Frankfort, Mrs. Tate plac- ed all the blame on Tate. In her final confession this afternoon she said in part.
 "He, (Tate) cried, he begged and pleaded with me- until honestly thought it was the right thing to do. l had been intimate with Robert Tate since about April or May. I thought

DAVIS OUTLINES
 UPS AND DOWNS | OF A CANDIDATE
Prohibitionist Refuses To Aid Ex-President Of
 Bar Association
Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 27.- Since that epochal night when John W. Davis declared to the exhausted New York convention that the democratic party had no favors to sell and there could be no compromise with reaction, .hhe. candidate has undergone striking Physical deterioration.
 ?. At the national press club at noon, where he was given the customary Jim partial and non-" reception accorded those who seek office, MT. Davis de clared himself a well man. But that he has undergone a severe strain was made entirely evident by apparent loss of flesh, a more palpable stoop of the shoulders, and an expression of the face attributable only to constant activity.
 Right Hand Useless
 His condition was accentuated fur ther by the fact that his right hand by countless shakes had been rendered useless, making it necessary that he extend his left in greeting the newspa- per correspondents.
 But in mental alertness and charm of manner and speech, no change was to be noted in Mir. Davis. The news paper boys were delighted with him and expended their time in laughing and applauding The candidate made no speech, and confined his remarks to a recitation of stories illustrating the ups and downs of presidential can didate.
 "The bed on which we lie," Said Mir. na- of in stance, I have received a letter from a citizen of Maryland, who, after de- scribing himself as lifelong democrat, and declaring that first of all he was a prohibitionist, affirmed that he could not support a man who had been presi- dent of a bar association.
 And in Charleston, W. Va.,. the oth- CT day, a man coming from the noun tains, asked regarding the ticket. He was informed that it was preety good. He replied: Well, Bryan is all right I have voted for him three times all ready. But it does seem to me that Jeff Davis is little old to be asking for the presidency"
 At the same time, have had occa- sion to learn direct that the milk of human kindness has not curdled throughout the world. Shortly after I was nominated, Mrs. John w Davis sued her husband for divorce. l re- ceived a communication from smpa- thetic individual in which it was said that the writer had informaton regard ng that woman which would help me in the forthcoming lawsuit, and that he was not reluctant to divulge it."
 Mir. Davis discussed politics at cam paign headquarters, and later in the afternoon, received his friends at the hotel Ebbit.

Validity Not Tested In U. S.
 In one respect the divorces of Amer ican here remain an experiment. The validity of none of them has as yet been attracked in the United States. There have been cases, however, where there was every reason to expect conflict, in which the divorcees have married again and remained because of it's small chance of success.
 As precaution, lawyers who special ize in this field recommended that the new marriage be performed in YucatauA so that marriage and divorce fall in the same Jurisdiction. In these cases the couple benefits by a local custom. The judge reads to the candidates for marriage this statement from the law:
 Marriage is a voluntary union of man and woman based on love, for the purpose of establishing home, dissoluble by divorce, which may be decreed at the request of both, or of either r-of the two"
