BACCALAUREATE
SERVICE SUNDAY
i
—
Opens Commencement Exercises
j Of Class of 1914, Newport
High School.
The baccalaureate sermon ser
vice Sunday morning at St.
Paul’s church opening the com
I mencement exercises of the
! Newport High School, was at
j tended by a large audience,
| which completely filled the audi
j torium.
The services were beautiful
and impressive and thoroughly
enjoyed by all. Rev. L. W. Hea
ton rector of St. Paul’s church,
chose for his text the thirteenth
verse from the first chapter of
Paul’s second Epistle to his be
loved Timothy: “Hold fast the
form of sound word, which thou
hast heard of me in faith and
love, which is in Jesus Christ-”
His theme was that princi
ples were immutable as com
pared to the transitory nature
of opinions and that these young
men and women entering life
with education, energy, optimism
and ambition, but without ex
penence must be careful to dis
tinguish between the real prin
ciples of men and problems in
stead of accepting mere opinions
as expressed to them through
public sentiment.
Mr. Heaton has a scholarly
mind, a good delivery and voice
and his sermon was well receiv
ed by congregation and class.
The musical numbers were also
of a high order and the solos and
duets as well as the choir parts
were very fine. Mrs. P. H. Van
Dyke presided at the organ and
directed the choir, which was
composed as follows: Mrs. C.
E- Carroll, Mrs. Charles Bandy,
Mrs. W. B. Crossland, Misses
Ellen Jones, Willie Mashburn

HONOR TO OUR
FALLEN HEROES
President Wilson In The Fun
eral Procession With Million
Mourners.
United Press Dispatch.
New York City, May 11.—Hon
or to the bodies of the seventeen
American blue jackets and ma
rines who died at Vera Cruz
was paid here today with Presi
dent Wilson, chief mourner. Ev
ery possible circumstance of mil
itary pomp invested the memo
rial service while more than a
million citiens joined in the tes
timonial to the dead.
Every foot of the line of march
was banked with humanity and
every window crowded with fac
es of men, women and children.
After the march along Broad
way, the procession stopped mo
mentarily in front of the City
Hall, where Mayor Mitchell paid
tribute to the fallen heroes- The
presence of the President in the
parade was a surprise to all, for
ic had had been reported that he
would participate only in the
navy yard memorial services and
throughout the whole procession
the President was watched close
ly by the throngs. Generally
his passage was observed by
grave attention but at several
places brief applause greeted
him.
The bodies were brought a
shore from the battleship Mon
tana early this morning follow
ed by marines and bluejackets
from the Montana and Wyoming.
The caskets were placed upon
the gun caissons of the first ar
tillery of the National Guard.
After a long wait for the Pres
ident’s auto and Secretary Dan
iel’s launch had arrived there
suddenly rang out the strains of
"Oh, can you see at dawn’s first
light”—and the march was on,
with the police clearing the way
and the marines and bluejackets
following the warship’s bands.
Four blueffiackets walked at
each side of each caisson, beside
the caissons. With face calm,
and set rode the president, then
Secretary Daniels’ carriage and
scores of others, the representa
tives of various cities. Some
women silently wept and many
men furtively wiped their eyes
as the cortege passed. The
bells of old Trinity and St. Paul
tolled as each body was drawn
by.
The highest tribute was paid
by President Wilson at the navy
yard in a remarkable address in
which he expressed envy for the
heroes who died in the perform
ance of their duty and clearly
indicated that if need be the na
tion was ready to make further
sacrifice in the same cause
The President dwelt upon the
example set by boys who died
performing their duty.
“All .of us”, he said, “were
performing our duty” and
though he wras never under
fire or in action he w'as perform
ing his duty as an enlisted man. j
“War is only a sort of dramatic
representation, a sort of dramat-!
ic symbol of a thousand forms
cf duty.”
Jonas Carr Dead.
Jonas Carr, the negro w’ho was
called to his front porch on the
night of May 1 and there shot
by James Hardin, died at 9 o’
clock Monday morning, as a re
sult of the gunshot wound.
Hardin, who has been in jail
since the shooting, now has a
bad case against him.
Stone Circuit Court.
Circuit Court convened on last
Monday morning at the usual
hour: Judge R- E. Jeffery pre
sided; Prosecuting Attorney C.
M. Erwin looking after the in
terests of the state, while the
defendants are wholly in the
care of the home bar, as there
are no visiting attorneys. The
docket is, unusually large, but

case of Harvey Burns, who was
tried on Thursday and convict
ed of carnal abuse, and his pun
ishment fixed at one year in the
| penitentiary, and the case of
John Cornett, indicted for sec
jond degree murder, charged

JUSTIFIES SEIZURE
Of LOBOS ISLAND
[Huerta Accuses United States of
Bad Faith at Every Turn
I'or A Purpose.
United Press Service.
Washington City, D C., May
3.—The occupation of Lobos Is
land by the American forces is
justified by the rules of interna
tional procedure is the state de
partment’s answer to Huerta’s
protest. It was learned today
that the mediators were inform
ed last night that the occupation
was not a violation of the arm
istice.
Admiral Badger seized the
lighthouse because he was in
formed that the Mexicans plan
ned to destroy it. The protest
demonstrates that the dictator,
Huerta, is determined to accuse
the United States of bad faith
1 at every opportunity and so be
able to accuse the mediators
of discriminating against him,
| if he decides to withdraw.
