ROME RIOTS hS UMbED70
 STILL BALKS
Heads Broken as Monarch isis and Republicans
 WieId Iron Bars

ROME, June Strong police forces held the Piazza Del Popolo in the heart of Rome in a virtual state of siege tonight to prevent Men archist-R Republican clashes as King Umherto II still baked at making way for the Republic.
 Equipped with heavy tanks, cav airy and police rushed to the big square, where a budding Monarch ist demonstration threatened to break out into large scale riot.
 Clashes between Monarchists and Republicans, armed with sticks and iron bars, resulted in broken heads in Rome and a tense situation con- tinued at Naples.
 Situation At Naples
 Late in the day, however, the sit uation at Naples was considerably eased when the Naples Trade Unions consented to call of their pro-R publican demonstration at the in- stance of Giuseppe -Romita, Min ister of the Interior.
 Truckloads Of police were rushed to the Piazza Del Popolo in Rome where the head-breaking started Many of the police wore civilian clothes with arnbands, indicating the government was recruiting new fcrces to deal with the disorders.
 Earlier troops armed with can- non and machineguns took up posi- tions on the streets of Naples to deal with expected trouble from the Republican demonstration demanding that reluctant King Um- berto surrender his yestige of roy alty.

Old Spanish Fort

The grounds and building known as Old
Spanish Fort, on Krebs lake, are one of the
most historic spots in this part of the world
and potentially one of the most beautiful.
Properly handicapped and developed to restore
sorle sense of the forts romantic past, it can
besone a thing of joy and satisfaction to our
people that it has not been in the past be-
calse we have largely ignored it. On the
pr actical side, if it is competently developed
asd advertised, it will be one of the most
sought-after places of the tourists for miles
a-ound. 1t is a rare cultural and material
opportunity for the county. Our Editors
Desk column this week touches on some of
Inc rich past that is symbolized by the fort.
We have had this opportunity all along; but
as is usually the case, the vigorous point of
view of one who comes originally from other
backgrounds has been necessary to point out
this treasure lying at our feet. That view
point has been presented by r.. /. Ingalls,, ST.,
who has also offered $4,000 for furtherance
of the plan.
We believe this is a sound opportunity
the community should not let it slip. It is
to the solid advantage of all of us to develop
this spot.

Ironically enough, Godoy wrote

He was jailed by orders of an

The following little passage from an edit

We wonder tsays the Herald editorial

secure industries for Mississippi to manu-

end use in the State-unless outsiders who
want them may physically come into Mis-

business of his own and operate 1t without
Government interfering-except of course
as to taxation"
Last week a jet propelled plane flew clear
across the United States in a little over four
hours. On one stretch it reached 600 miles an
hour. Last year two cities were wiped out
by single bombs the size of a fire-plug. The
Germans had a rocket weapon that could
have shelled New York. The ingalls, ship
yards here turned out seventy warships. Mis-
sippi was part of the war, and four-fifths of
its income came from the army, from war
manufactures, from the sale of crops, from
other sources involving interstate and in
ternational trade.
We think it is a brilliant idea of the
Herald's to turn our backs on all these irri-
taticns. We may have a little difficulty con-
vine .ng manufacturers to come here if we
tell them they cannot ship out-of-state and
that they will have to wait for the Eastern

1t is generally believed that
ONLY 400, 900 new homes will be
built in 1916. Most builders will
be inclined to build homes to

drastic must be done to channel
enough materials into the hous-

members of the committee tina jackson

was conferred at Bay st. Louis and Hancock

hindrance to honest business and the good

nounced that it has turned its evidence
over to the FBl. For the committee to leave
the matter stand thusly is an evasion of
responsibility.
The FBI may have jurisdiction in this
case because interstate transport trucks
were involved. But Mississippi also has prime
and unacceptable jurisdiction and responsible
ity to break up racketeering and d~efrauding
of the state by public officials.
1t is the committees responsibility to pro-
duce every scrap of pertinent evidence to
the grand lurieS and the public prosecutors
in the counties where highway graft and
racketeering was uncovered. Passing the
buck to the FBl is not satisfactory.
