CAPITAL CITY
WANTS COLLEGE
Citizens Will Not Willingly Give Up
Belhaven College'For Young
Ladies.
Jackson, Miss., March 23.—Jackson,
—at least that portion of the citizens
who are desirous of seeing the city
progress along proper lines,—are go
ing to strain every effort to retain
Belhaven College in this city,
present indications are that the pub
lic meeting in the County Court house
next Monday evening for the discus
sion of the matter will be one of the
most enthusiastic "get-together" meet
ings evel- held in the city of Jackson's
progressive citizens.
"To permit Belhaven to leave our
city would be the height of folly," said.
Mr. Kennington yesterday afternoon.
"The school has always held a high
reputation throughout the state and
many of Mississippi's fairest daugh
ters have graduated from its classes.
And now,—with the moral and finan
cial support of the Presbyterian
church and the increased impetus that
Will be given its attendance by reason
of the vast influence of the church, it
will undoubtedly be to Jackson what
Millsaps College, with the support of
the Methodist denomination, has prov
en itself to be."
When asked to discuss the most
practical benefit that would be derived
from such a growth in the school's
educational popularity, Mr. Kenning
ton concentrated his reply in a single
word,—"Citizenship."
"The new Belhaven will bring fam
ilies to Jackson from all parts of the
state. Men whose daughters have
reached the age of college entrance
will hesitate before permitting their
fair maidens to leave the all-too-brief
influences of the home circle. Men |
and
with substantial means will consider
>v , ,_, , ... _ . . I
this deeply and, as their affairs in I
many instances wiH permit, will move j
to Jackson rather than be separated '
from their daughters."
It is to this class of citizenship, lie-,
lieved Mr. Kennington, that Jackson '
—the greater Jackson,—must look for- !
Ward. "Men with capital, men inter
/ csted in educational matters, who are
willing to come and be a part of our
/ gity that their families may derive the
benefits of our colleges,—these are the
men who are already making us inde
pendent of the boll weevil ravages
and who will continue to make Jack
son the educational center of the
state and, perhapa, the entire South "

AMERICA MAY HAVE
EXCEEDED AUTHORITY
(By Associated Press.)
Washington. March 23.—The re
ported firing upon United States sol
diers at Presidio, Texas, by Mexican
troops because the former stopped
the exportation of provisions to Mexi
co has raised a question in the minds
of the officials here as to the possi
bility of the American authorities
having exceeded their authority in
enforcing the neutrality laws. The
state department holds that the ship
ment of provisions and even arms
and ammunition, traveling in an or
dinary process of commerce, is per
fectly legitimate.
TO STRIKE IN TWO MONTHS.
(By Union Associated Press.)
London, March 23.—Two months
from today, May 23, Is the day now
set for the international seamen s
strike, when, unless the difficulties
, , , „
are settled before that time, all sea
,, , . , ' , ,
men on all ships carrying the English
flag throughout the world will quit
work.
It is stated by union leaders that
when the strike order is issued all
the ships at sea which can be reach
ed by wireless will be notified so that
the crews can quit their work when
their vessels reach their home ports.
The American seamen have a work
ing agreement with the English
ion, but the English union could not
call the American sailers out on
strike.

Sensational Creation of Wearing Ap
parel Causes Fear of Dangerous
Consequences.
Birmingham, Ala., March 23.—Al
derman Frank Smith has drawn up a
proposed ordinance, designed, as it
reads, to maintain "the public calm."
It is made an offense punishable by
fine and imprisonment to appear on
the streets of Birmingham in a harem
skirt. The ordinance of Alderman
Smith follows:
"Be it ordained by the city council
of Birmingham as follows:
"Section 1. It shall be unlawful
for any female person to wear or ap
pear upon the streets, avenues, alleys
or in any public place or where the
public is accustomed to frequent or
gather in the city of Birmingham,
while clothed in a harem or trouser
skirt, or any device or substitute for
a harem or trouser skirt, or any fur
ther or other wearing apparel fash
toned in a similar manner, or in any
other wearing apparel calculated to
disturb the public calm.
person
convicted of violating the provisions
of this ordinance shall he fined not
less than $1 nor more than $100, or
"Section
2. Any female
may be imprisoned in the city jail
for not more than ten days, in addi
tion, at the discretion of the court
having jurisdiction thereof."
Mr. Smith drafted this ordinance
at the instance of some people w ho
foresaw dangerous consequences in
the skirts being worn on the streets.

SIGNING OF PETITIONS
WEAKNESS OF PEOPLE.
Don't sign petitions for pardons
without carefully considering the
case. This indiscriminating signing
of petitions is one of the weaknesses
of the American people. They would
just about as readily sign a petition
to hang an innocent man as to par- |
don a guilty one. The petition racket,
generally worked up by paid attor
neys, is overdone.—American Times- :
Recorder. And yet, these same men :
who are ready to sign these petitions
are among the first to deplore
"cheapness of human life." How can
they expect anything better?—Colum
