WOMEN DECLARE
AGAINST R|OT|NC
State Meeting of Mississippi
Women Leaders Frames
Protest Covenant. =
&C. 1. G.. Press Service)


Jackson, Miss, Nov. 20.-Repre-
sentative Mississippi women, leaders
in many important religious and civic
groups, have launched a determined
compaign against lynching and mob
violence in this State. The opening
gun was fired at a statewide meeting
held here, which framed and adopt
ed the following:
1--WE believe in only the single
standard of morals for all races,
and unquestionably in the pro-
lection of the womanhood of the
races. We also believe in the
law, and that it should, under
all circumstances, be respected
and upheld by all citizens.
Therefore we deplore mob vio-
lence for any crime and desire
to register our protest against
lynching or any other form of
mob violence"
This statement has since been pre-
sented before other important gath
erings of women and has in every
case been adopted without a dissent
ing vote. 1t is understood that ef-
forts to crystalline public sentiment
against lynching will be pushed
throughout the state. Promoters of
the movement say that the mobiliza-
tion of the women, of other Southern
states along similar lines has been
followed in every case by marked de-
crease in the number of lynchings.

 Gen. Now Sought

Washington. Jan. e.-A-President Coolidge today for the second time within a year set about finding a new attorney general.
 Harlan F. Stone. of New York, ce- lected as head of the department Of Justice nine months ago after the retirement of Harry M lDaugherty, ewas given appointment yesterday by the president to the supreme court considered by the legal fraternity as the highest honor within ite reach. tt I
 Tho nomination of MT. stone was sent to the senate within five hours after the vacancy on the highest court was created through the re- trement of Associate Justice Joseph McKenna, who himself was appoint ed to the court from the attorney generalship 27 years. ago by Presi- dent Mckinley H
 The desire of Justice McKenna to leave the court was communicated 10 the president several weeks ago, and accordingly the formal an- nouncement of hts retirement was followed by quick action at the White House. The executive evident iy had discussed the matter previous 1y with Mir. Stone, but the final con- ference was not held until yesterday afternoon. An hour later the rioml- nation of Mir. Stone was sent to the senate and was referred by that body to Its judiciary committee in &C., 'cordance with custom.
 While MT. Stone will not leave the department of justice until his nom- ination Is confirmed by the senate, usually in euch cases a matter of routine, thought must be given im- modiately by Mir. Coolidge to the ap- pointment of a successor. All indi- cations of an official nature are that he has not even reached any pre- liminary conclusions but immediate ly after the appointment .of Mir. Stone was announced a. dozen nance were being mentioned In connection with the office. s..5a 2 :. Among these were some of those mentioned at, the time Mir. Coolidge was seeking a successor to Mr. Daugherty including Arthur P. Rugg, chief justice of the supreme judicial court of Massa chusetts; Judge Frank S. Dietrich of Idaho, aid Charles B. Warren, former am hassa dor to Japan and joint head of the special American commission to Mexico. r...
 The immediate speculation also included the possibility of promo ton Of James NJ. Beck, now solici- tor general and who will become acting attorney general upon the retirement of Mir. Stone. and of the transfer of. Curtis D. Wilbur, for mer Chief Justice of the Supreme court of California, from the secre. tary-ship of the Navy to the Deport. ment of Justice.
 The president decided upon MT 5 Stone In making his first appaint' ..ment to the Supreme Court because of his confidence In the attorney general borne of long acquaintance starting with the time when the, were college mates at Amherst; hi' belief that the attorney general wal eminently fitted by education. ex
