Saws Were in a Pie.

Aberdeen, Miss, March 13. BY a
narrow chance another escape from
Jail on the eve of hanging, by Will
Lanier was prevented by his guards
last Wednesday night.
Officers John Harmon and John
Pope were charged with the duty of
Watching the celebrated prisoner,
whose execution is scheduled for next
week. At about O clock a 7-year old
girl approached the Jail with a small
parcel in her hand, and asked permis-
sion to SEND it to Lanier, saying that
it was pie, sent to the prisoner by
his mother, who is stopping in town.
. . The officers examined the parcel,
and found it to contain the pie as the
child bad said. They looked more
closely at the article, for both officers
claim to be connoisseurs of pastry.
They broke it open, and discovered
that 1t contained six neat little steel
saws, cleverly concealed among the
contents of the pie.
sThe case of Lanier becomes the
more exciting and attracts the more
attention as the time for execution ap-
proaches. His father and mother are
doing everything in their power to
prevent the infiction of the death
penalty. They have appealed to all
the influences which they could reach,
hoping to induce the Governor to IN
tervene.
In the meantime extra precautions
have been taken to guard the Jail to
prevent repetition of the escapes
which twice before have postponed the
hanging.

Letter From Cash Edison.

One Of the REGISTER force Is in re
celpt of q letter from Cash Edison, for
years a well-known citizen ofthis town
and now a resident and business man
of Neodesha. His letter is so breezy
and characteristic that 1t is impossible
to refrain from printing parts of it.
Here | am in Neodesha, the driest
town on earth since the 4th of July.
On that day tho sheriff of Wilson
county, not having the fear of Helm s
brewery or the voters of Neodesha
in his heart, proceeded to confiscate,
arrest and take away all the booze,
slot machines, empties, fixtures and
persons who we're engaged in main
tanning the same all that didn't get
away and commit the same to the
bastile of the aforesaid county. Thus
are the rights OF the dear people
trampled upon and especially on that
day on which our forefathers guaran-
teed us independence and laws for the
good OF the greatest number. There
are those here who think the greatest
good of the greatest number in this
town would be an unlimited stream
OF beer at ratio of sixteen glasses to
one man.
81 have some business property
here and the crop of hay will be good,
as ! cut to the middle OF the street.
81 am engaged in running a bakery,
not for the purpose of accumulating
the coin of the realm, but because it
gives me an opportunity to make the
dough. The Hon. William Speckboe-
tie, late head baker for the Emperor
of Germany, is the man who looks
after the rise and fall of the bread "

A RECEIVER APPOINTED
j. :. Detwiler Has Been Appointed
Temporary Receiver of the Fuller
Furniture Stock

J. S. Detwiler who represents one
manufacturing firm which holds u
claim against j. w. Fuller, the
Washington avenue furniture dealer
was last Tuesay appointed temporary
receiver Of the remnants of the stock,
pending an action TO have Mr. Fuller
declared a bankrupt. The appoint
ment was made by G. T.. Corey at IT.
Scott.
The REGISTER elsewhere tells OF the
extraordinary sale held at the Fuller
store. During its progress perhaps
over one-half of the stock was dis
posed Of. Mr.. Detwiler representing
creditor, stood by, helpless to stop
the sale. He states that he holds a
chattel mortgage on one consignment
of goods in the store and If any of
these goods were disposed OF he can
recover them. Mr.. Fuller states that
he did not sell any of tho goods COW
cred by the mortgage. Having pos
session of the stock he had a legal
right to sell it and If he saw fit to sell
it at bargain, that was his business
The proceeds of the sale went to Mr..
Fuller and will remain his unless
somebody else can lawfully prove a
better right to the money.
Mr.. Detwiler preferred to take the
receivership course rather than to
prosecute on his chattel mortgage, so
he went to FL. Scott next night, saw
the referee in bankruptcy had himself
appointed temporary receiver and
will bring bankruptcy proceedings
against Fuller

Death of Pitcher Freeland.

lola bali fans look back with the re-
gard an old man has for the days OF
his childhood to the days of the ball
team of three years ago. At that time
one of lola's pitchers was l.. G.. Free
land, so this dispatch in Mondays
papers will be Of interest here:
New Orleans, La, July 27-Luther
G. Freeland, one of the strongest
pitchers OF the New Orleans Southern
league club, died this morning in the
New Orleans sanitarium. He had
been sick only n week. He pitched
and won his last game in Birmingham
Friday one week ago. When the team
came home last Sunday he was not
feeling we'll. Monday he had u high
fever and Manager Powell sent him to
the sanitarium. Tuesday he became
delirious, and since that time he has
been out of his head. In his delirium
he fancied he was playing ball, and
INDUCED in endless arguments with
imaginary umpires about balls and
strikes. Friday he sprang from his
bed clad only in his night shirt, and
brushing his nurse aside, ran into the
street. The thorouehfare was crowded
and his chase and subsequent capture
caused much excitement.
"Freeland was native OF Kansas.
He was magnificent speciman OF
manhood, standing 6 feet high and
weighing about $50 pounds. He had
won almost all of his games this sea-
son. His people in Oklahoma Terri
tory and Kansas City have been mott
fled of his death. but up to to night
nothing has been heard from them.
This afternoon, in respect to his mem
ory, his fellow-players on the New
Orleans team wore knots of crepe on
their left arms the while they were de-
feating Nashville. But little is known
of Frecland's life before he Joined the
New Orleans team in July 1900, except
that he was u soldier in the Spanish
war;"

to have his own salary as mayor in

AS mayor, he has decreased expenses,
Increased joints, increased the police

Ira Kelley struck on his uncle Mon

has been carrying the mails to and

and today he gets just as much for
the work as he did six years ago. In
cidentally, there is as much mail in
one day nov, nearly, as there was in
a week then. So he considered $3.50
too little money.
Bids will be asked for by the post
Office here which will be sent to the
Department. All bids will be sent in
and anybody o7er sixteen years of
age is entitled to bid. The contract

Rats as Swimmers.

In Germany close study is being
made of the manner in which vari-
Gus animals swim, and pictures have
been made to show how the water
rat swims both when he is at his
ease and when an enemy is pursuing
him, While he is looking for prey,
and scents no danger, this willy little
animal goes through the water leis-
urely, but the moment he sees or
hears an enemy, he changes his at
titude and darts away, breasting the
water at a great rate. Moreover, it
is singular fact that not only water
rats, but all other rats and mice
which live near the water, are splen-
did swimmers, and, thanks to their
skill, are frequently enabled to es-
cape from their enemies.-Cincin"

GRAY BECOMES BLACK.
Experiments With Color of Military Uni
forms at Varying Distances.

The uniform board, which is pre-
pairing for a general scheme of revi-
sion of the uniforms of the various
branches of the United States mill
tary service, is conducting an inter-
esting set of practical experiments
to determine the best color to be
adopted for the clothing of the army
in the field. The attention of the
board was drawn to the fact that
the British army had abandoned the
familiar khaki color in favor of
neutral gray tint, retaining the tex
ture of the khaki, and a number of
samples of the cloth have been Sc
cured for test. These have been con-
trasted with no less than four diff
ferent hues of khaki manufactured
in the United States, and eight men,
each dressed in different hue, and
placed side by side on the green
sward Of the mall at the foot of Sew
enteenth street have been for several
days passing under the inspection of
officers detailed by the board.
The officers who are supplied with
field glasses, says the Washington
Star, began their inspection at the
corner of Seventeenth and l streets,
a measured distance of LOO yards
from the variegated squad of pri-
-'ates at the foot Of the street on the
mall, and at each 100 yards careful
observations are taken to ascertain
which of the uniforms is the least
visible, and consequently the safest
against sharpshooters. Up to the
present it has been demonstrated
that the khaki, in almost any shade,
is vastly superior in point of invisible
ity to the neutDal gray of the Brit
ish army. This latter color was
evolved as a result of the Boer war,
and it is possible that the color con-
ditions of the landscape in South
Africa may be greatly different from
the bright green sward of the mall,
where these experiments are going
on, but it is quite certain that at
distance the neutral gray deepens in
color to almost pronounced black,

MR.. CRADDOCK AND HIS RECORD

Mr.. Craddock, the Democratic can
didate for governor, has started in to
make himself the paramount issue in
the coming campaign. He claims that
he should be elected governor because
he will reduce taxation. He has writ
ten letters and printed pamphlets set
ting forth the theory that the people
should vote for him and save money.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Craddock, he
has record. A little overa year ago
he was elected mayor of Kansas City,
Kansas, by just such talk and prom
ises as he Is making cow TO the peo-
pie OF the state at large. He has been
mayor for over year. In these let
ters and circulars, Mr.. Craddock lat
tempts TO show that he has been a
good mayor, and therefore, ought to
be governor, but the records Tin the
city clerks Office at Kansas City,
Kansas, very strikingly contradict
these claims.
Mr.. Craddock's administration has
not'only increased the assessed valu-
alton of property in Kansas City,
Kansas, but has actually increased
the tax levy for the operating ex-
penses Of the city. He has tried to
fool the people by neglecting to levy
for sinking-fund and for judgment
fund thereby leaving uncared for a
large indebtedness of that city which
bears a high rate of interest. Any
citizen who has had to do even with
school-district affairs knows that the
allure to make levy to provide for a
debt does not pay the debt. The reve-
nue. raised in Kansas City, Kansas,
under the first year Of Mayor Grad
docks administration was over SIS, -
900 greater than for the year preced-
ipg. Mr.. Craddock spent not only
this, but increased the floating indebt-
edness of the city 1922, ,354.9S. Most of
this increased expense was made in
the police department, which cost
about 80, 900 more under him than the
year preceding. He enlarged the
police force to make places for Demo-
cratic hangers-on, and, in this con-
nection, it should be added that when
he increased the police force he in
creased the number of licensed joints,
one OF the latter being located within
one block and a half of the high
school building, and this in the face
OF the earnest protests. OF the people.
Mr., Craddock's methods of dealing
with the corporations of Kansas City,
Kansas, Is an illustration OF his
statesmanship. He had promised the
the people that he would see that their
assessment was raised, He did this,
but first made an agreement with them
that the levy should be reduced so
that they would have no more taxes to
pay than they had before. He then
refused to,make any levy to meet judg-
ments and for the sinking-fund, and
thus kept his agreement with the COR
porations, and, at the same time,
thought he had fooled the people.
