MAY NOT COME BACK.
Some Doubt Return of Leland, the
Safe Blower, Who is in Gus.
tody in Michigan.

The Smith county authorities have
thus far made no reply to Sheriff
Harding's notice that j. E. Leland,
the professional blower who es-
capped from the Jackson Jail while be-
ing held here as prisoner for that
county, is now in custody in Michigan.
The matter is of no concern to
Kinds county, and unless the Smith
county officials shall arrange the ex-
penses of having Leland brought back
to Mississippi he will remain in
Michigan to answer the misdemeanor
charge pending against him in that
state.
Some of the counties in the state
have no fund available to be used for
this purpose. and it is not at all un-
likely that Smith county is in this un-
fortu plight, although of course
the matter could be arranged with
the board of supervisors.
No application has been made at
the governors office for requisition
for Leland, and the Michigan authori-
ties have volunteered no further in
formation as to how, where and for
what reason the prisoner was placed
under arrest.
Leland has been held in the Jack
son Jail awaiting new trial, the SUI
preme court having reversed his case.
The evidence submitted against him
by the prosecution was very meagre,
and the first trial was replete will
technical errors. While he could doubt.
less again be convicted, it is not
equally positive that the supreme
court would affirm the case. The
evidence was not touched upon in the
former reversal by the supreme court
Clarion Ledger.

GHOST OF JOHNNY REB.
A Ragged Apporition Of Confeder-
acy Appears as Rip
Van Wrinkle.

New Orleans, May 20.-Among the
many scenes and incidents of the
reunion there was one that would
have delighted Joe Jefferson's heart.
About O'Clock Monday night,
when the lobby of the st. Charles
Hotel was filled with brilliant
throng of braid bedecked officers,
with golden stars and wreaths on
their collars, there entered queer
figure to modern eyes, but an unex-
pressedly dear one to those who re-
member the glorious days 81 and '65.
Tt was one of Lees veterans, clad
in an old confederate uniform that
was literally rags; the jacket had
four bullet holes through the arm
and collar, the trousers two. t was
Johnny Reb as he actually was in
every detail, with the grlmy blanket
over his shoulder, his dirty haver-
sack, his canteen and old SLOUGH hat
full of holes.
The apparition silent-answering
no questIons-made his way TO the
desk and wrote his name-Rip Van
Wrinkle, Charlottesville, Va. 1862,
and asked for q room. He was told
they were all engaged. He said he
had fallen asleep the day after Stone
wall Jackson was shot, and had
heard of this reunion and made his
way on foot, but as he found no Pri
vate soldiers alive and could not ge
entertainment for his confederate
money he was going back to hi
grave.
He asked if 1t was true that the
governor of Georgia had twent.
colonies on his staff He was told l
was so. He then said he woult
rather sleep than live.
Nobody knew him until Genera
Hooker of Mississippi called him b.
name, and then the ghost of "Johnn,
Reb, that tattered son of fortune an
the nursing of many dark an

QUICK SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE.
A Temporary Injunction Against M.
and O. Strikers is Submitted
to bv Their Counsel.

Jackson, Tenn, May 18.-When
the federal court met here today to
hear the arguments in the injunction
proceedings against the striking en-
ployes of the Mobile and Ohio rail-
road. Judge w. 7. Irwin, of Spring
field, Mo-, spoke for the strikers.
He said on the face of the bill, any
Judge would have to grant the re-
stralning order issued by Judge
Hammond, as 1t was the same as
that approved by the supreme court
in the Debs case, and that the strikes
in this case had no intention and
never had any desire to do any of the
things prohibited by the restraining
order and they reserved their de-
fence for the hearing.
Judge Irwin, on behalf of the
strikers, then submitted to an order
for temporary injunction until the
final hearing, to be in the same lam
guage as the restraining order. The
inference is general that this midi
Gates a speedy settlement of the
strike, but the men and lawyers
aoout the court house do not confirm
this view.
The form of order for injunction
was agreed upon by the lawyers and

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Nov. 30.--The

until nine are now studying here.
Easily the leader of the Harvard jap
anese is Owanno Matsukata, son sof
Count Matsukata, a member of the
mikados privy council, Before being
elevated to his present position the
father was twice prime minister and
once minister of finance of his count
try.
Young Matsukata is 20 years old and
will graduate from Harvard in 1906.
His work is principally in the depart
ments of history, government, diploma
cy and economics. When he has fin
ished his education here he will take
IA trip around the world and will then
be placed in the diplomatic service of
his country.
One of the most advanced of the
Jap students at Harvard is Matkatso
Iagia Although only 2s. he has taken
his bachelors degree and is now do
ing graduate work. All his energies
are bent on subjects which will aid
him in managing his fathers huge tex
tile mills at Naguva, Japan. During
the vacation months of the past five
years Iagi travelled through the United
States investigating the textile mills
and studying American business and
manufacturing methods. He expects 10
