F. Sharkey, who married Miss Yvonne Fox, daughter of Bert H. Fox, chief dispatcher of the M. O. R.

here, and Mrs. Fox, has been named trainmaster of the Illinois Central for the Jackson, Water Valley, Grenada, Aberdeen and Winfield districts with offices at Grenada, it was announced by T. K. Williams, assistant superintendent of this district with offices at Water Valley. Mr.

Williams himself received his appointment shortly before, according to announcement of Supt. A. D. Caulfield. He is a brother of "Hub" Williams, former superintendent of the Fulton district of the I.

C. He is a native of Kentucky. Method Of (Continued from page one) if he changed his mind about the method of selecting the jury he would notify the attorneys. In answer to the charges. of malfeasance upon which ouster was based, Sheriff Weeks denied dereliction of duty.

Replying to charge that Jim Whitman, the witness he was accused of holding illegally in order to force him to sign a statement, was subsequently dismissed without taking him before a justice the peace, Sheriff Weeks contended that it is a general custom and practice sanctioned by the attorney general to discharge prisoners. from custody without taking them before a justice of the peace or other court. The practice was described as customary throughout the district, especially when a prisoner has been arrested on a warrant issued in justice of the peace court. Answering a charge that Whitman was confined to jail without first being taken before a justice of the peace, the sheriff stated that Deputy J. E.

Scoggins at once took Whitman before Justice of the Peace J. M. Cherry at Henderson when he had been arrested, and that that there he was given an opportunity to make bond but that he said he was unable to do so. The defense contends a mittimus was issued by Cherry but that the sheriff, not present when the arrest was made, did not know about the mittimus until there was an investigation in the U. S.

district court at Memphis of certain matters in which Whitman was involved. On the defendant's return from court at Memphis, where he testified about Whitman's arrest, and was sharply criticized by Judge Martin, the defense answer relates that Sheriff Weeks found the Whitman mittimus had been delivered to his wife, who placed it on the jail record. Whitman, the defense contends, sent for A. A. Robbins to come to see him and that during a discussion of a proposed settlement of the charge against him Whitman proposed to assign to Robbins, who had brought the charges, a twitness fee" claimed to be due him in U.

S. federal court at Jackson and "also what he called a donation. of $35 or $40 said to be due him by General Murray." The sheriff contends he declined to discharge Whitman pending the arrival of Madison county officers, but that he consented later to take Whitman before an attorney for advice. He went to J. I.

Galbraith, the answer avers, and was ad ised that he had a right to discharge Whitman. MVC To Hold (Continued from Page One) the ference, delegates voted to change "migatory rule" on athletic eligibilities to be more lenient on transfer students. Ae the rule stood, a student who had competed in any inter-college athletics outside the conference and who transferred Into the conference, would be ineligible during the first year. Leaders of the move for a change pointed out that most schools in the MVC are junior colleges, and a sophomore transfer thus not become eligible to play before graduation. It was agreed to change the bylaws so that any student transferring into the conference from an outside school would be eligible in conference sports immediately, provided other usual requirements were met." Left intact was the ruling forbidding transfers within the conference from participating for the first year after their transfer.

President West named the following committees: nominations, H. A. Flowers, Frank Cheney, T. Nance; audit, Paul Meek and J. C.

Loftin. All ten member colleges of the conference were represented by accredited delegates with the exception of Northwest Junior College fo Senatobia, Mississippi. Dr. West, making his annual report, told the conference he was "optimistic" of the organization's future, but felt a need for more adequate publicity of the conference's activities. He also commented on the decline of football in the conference and indicated a personal desire for its revival.

The matter of publicity was further gone into later when the group heard suggestions from N. L. Parks of David Lipscomb College, Secretary Johnson, and others. The conference instructed Dr. Johnson to send weekly reports of athletic standings, and other athletic information, to The Jackson Sun and specified newspapers in Nashville and Memphis.

Dr. Johnson's report pointed out that the conference ended its year with a profit. Sheriff At Yuma, Believes He Has Ruth Judd YUMA, Ariz. Dec Sheriff T. H.

Sheriff Newman said the woman told him she was looking for the sanitorium of Dr. R. R. Knotts, a partner of Dr. W.

Financial and Market Items The size of the first-quarter backlogs in the steel industry precludes the possibility of a sharp decline in operating rates, Iron Age said in its weekly survey. speculative factors removed from the market by the virtually unchanged price structure, a closer balance between production and consumption is likely to be arrived at in the coming few months, during which time the trend of operations may be slightly downward," the trade magazine said.

two-point decline in ingot production to per cent for this week is partly due to furnace repairs and partly to a relaxing pressure in some steel rolling departments brought about by a moderate falling off in specifications and the cumulative effect of recent heavy production and shipments.
