STRICTLY PROHIBITION.
Lauderdale County Grand Jury or
Tare.

News has been received here that
the Lauderdale county grand jury is
on tare. 1t is reported-that must
be all--that Meridian is to soon be
clear Of all of its tigers, gambling
bells and other places of vice. 1t is
evident, our informant says, that a
large part of its tough and lawless
element are seeking other quarters for
their absence is conspicuous in court
and on the streets.
1t seems quite likely that Hatties-
burg is being made a stopping place
for a time at least, for these refu-
gees. But they seem TO be learning
that Hattiesburg is rather expensive
town for people of their class and
that the city officials are not arresting
each other but attending to perpetra-
tors of crimes rather than making and
violating resolutions and ordinances.
Meriadian will be clear of these
characters-while the grand jury is in
session.

TAXES MUST BE PAID.
Time For Settling Back Taxes
Question Is Fast Approaching.

The limit for paying tayxes Is
about up. Property owners have
been rather slow in settling their city
debts Mr.. Moffett was interviewed
and said that little over half of the
taxes for the year had been paid.
The delinquents will be compelled TO
hustle up matters and settle shortly
or submit TO the course of the law.
Hattiesburg's condition is of too
substantial a nature for any one TO
be required or forced to submit to
any such procedure therefore it is ur
gent that this matter should not be
overlooked or allowed to.continue in
So ch a state. The value Of property
is steadily increasing and lot lost
for thoughtlessness is just punish.
ment for indiscret flnanciering
This matter should meet the attention
of all delinquents.

POLICE COURT.
Police Justiceship Still a Matter of
Board Creation Alone.

Mayor Rich, as usual, was at the
city hall this morning to attend TO
the wayward of Hattiesburg. That
was there was to demand his atten-
tion.
Stella Parish, woman of color and
a vile mouthed creature, was up
charged with using profane language.
Mayor Rich Is determined to let it
cost the low CHASED stcussers' pay for
their bad language. Stella's temper
and speech cost her So. 90 and costs
this time. The next will likely be
worse from what Mayor Rich says.
Mr.. Moffett was requested yesterday
to arrest Bill Carmichael and Floyd
Share, two boys wanted in Ellisville.
1t is not known what they are wanted
for. The Ellisville authorities will
come for them today.
Aurella Anderson, woman alleged
to have stolen the deeds and money
of her husband, and wanted for leav
ing him after securing his finances
was captured in Birmingham yester-
day. Mr.. Moffett was requested to
call for her but the matter being out
of his jurisdiction was turned over to
| the sheriff.
The efficient police work from the
beginning of the new year, as we'll as
the last year, is credit TO the chief
and his force. An investigation today
proved that some very fine detective
work had been done lately and that
about $500 worth of stolen goods had
been recovered in that time. That
is about as good a showing as any force
has made in town the size of Hat
tiesburg. Finaces from police court
fines are Of substantial aid to the
treasury, also.
Altogether it must be admitted that
the administration, though under
some disadvantages, is wise one.

markably warm weather that has pre-
vailed during the past few days has

wider and wider stretch Of water be-
tween her and the challenger. AS
soon as the Reliance rounded. the pa
troll flotilla blew their whistles and
changing bells in the engine rooms
sent the whole fleet at full speed tC
leeward Of the last leg of the course.
There the vast concouTse Of steam
craft lay wallowing in the trough Of
the sea until the yachts, bowling along
at a terrific pace turned the second
mark. Reliance sailed this leg Of 10
miles in Sc minutes and 20 seconds.
Reliance's Fast Finish.
Then the fleet started for the finish
line, steaming a course parallel with
that of the flying yachts. This last
leg was also covered at roaring speed,
Reliance still increasing her lead. The
guide boat, sent ahead to show the
course. was too slow, although every
thing aboard of her was wide open,
and Reliance passed her before the
line was reached. All the ocean-going
tugs and many of the steam yachts
were left astern in the mad race. Just
before the finish the wind died down,
but Reliance went across in ample
time to win, having covered the 10
miles in 81 minutes. 40 seconds. There
followed the usual riot of whistles,
mingled with the wall of sirens, the
clamor of bells, the exultant shouts OF
patriots and the booming of cannon.
Shamrock was about mile astern and
crossed four minutes and 40 seconds
later. to a repetition of the riot which
had welcomed Reliance's victory.
Upton Says Best Boat Won.
After the race Sir Thomas Upton
said: "You have all seen the results
and the only thing I can say is that
we did better this time than in the
last race. which is hopeful. l figure my
defeat at a little over one minute. If
make as much progress in the next
race as l did in this over the last
will be a good bit ahead in the finish
of the third race. l was more than
pleased with the way my own boat
was handled. 1t is hard to admit it
but the best boat won. Perhaps with
more wind at the finish the result
might have been different. But dom
want to throw any cold water on the
victor. It is hard to win every race il
such a series, and hope our turn viii
come next"
Captain Barr said: THAT'S number
two. Now we will get ready for the

snnnIa Frnm PnIn.

The process Of making spools from
pulp has been in course of development
for the past two years. and many OBJ
stacles had to be overcome before the
spool was perfected. 1t was compare
lively easy to mold the spool into the
proper form, but after 1t had become
dry and hard the difficulty was to
grind or turn it into the proper size to
hold the required amount Of thread.
This trouble has now been overcome.
Pulp will be used only for the large
size of spOOls, as it is not practical to
make the smaller sizes Of that material.
Many of the large spOols are merely
four inches in diameter, and up to the
present time they have been made of
wood. When they were first made
they were turned from a single piece
Of wood, but it was discovered that in
many cases the pressure of the thread
as it was wound on the spool would
push the head of the barrel, although
1t was the same piece of wood. In
order to remedy this difficulty it be-
came necessary to make the large
spOoIs from three pieces, the barrel and
two heads. and when the heads were
closely fitted to the barrel and glued
they were found to remain better than
when they were one piece Of wood

REVIEWED WARSHIPS
Sreat Fleet Inspected By President
On Long Island Sound.
rwo OF THE VESSELS COLLIDE

Torpedo-Boat DeStroyers come %

Little Damsge-Presldent Entertains
Guests at Luncheon.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-For the
first time in the history Of the coun-
try the president of the United States
reviewed and inspected, in time Of
peace, a great fleet OF United States
warships. The ceremony was a mag
nificent and impressive naval specta-
Gle. It was unmarried by the slight
est mishap until just at its cOnclu-
sion, when the tOrpedo-boat destroyer
Barry rammed the destroyer Decatur,
fortunately, however doing little DAM
age.
The first squadron Of destroyers,
consisting Of the Decatur, Bainbridge,
Barry, Dale and Chauncey, all under
command of Lieutenant L. H. Chand-
ler was approaching the Maytiower
ct full speed. The vessels were in
close formation.
Orders were signalled from the De-
catur to the other vessels to form a
wedge. In executing the orders the
Decatur swung across the bow OF the
Barry An instant later the Barry
rammed her on the starbOard side.
As the ships were running at a speed
of 90 knots the blow was tremendous.
The Decatur listed sharply to port,
and seemed to be in serious distress.
From the Mayhower she appeared to
be sinking
The Mayfower's boats were manned
instantly. but were not lowered, as the
Decatur was seen to right herself In
a few minutes she hOisted a signal OF
mo serious damage"
The review occurred on Long Island
Sound two miles and a half off the en-
trance to Oyster Bay. President Roose-
welt. in company with Secretary of the
Admiral Taylor. Rear Admiral Rogers,
Captain BrOwnson. General Chaffee
and General Barry. stood on the bridge
of the auxiliary cruiser Mayflower, as
she steamed slowly down one column
OF the warships and up the other. The
two columns extending 250O yards, the
ships being anchored intervals of 5OO
yards AS the Mayfower passed each
ship in the two columns the yards and
rails of each were manned by jackies
in white ducks. the marines were pa
Taded and presented arms, the presi-
dents salute of q guns was fired. the
buglers sounded a flourish, the drum
! mers gave four rufTies. the band played
Hail Columbia" and the entire crew
stood at salute. AS the Mayfowei
swept majestically past each ship, the
crew of the saluting vessel gave the
president three cheers as the comman-
der-in-chief of the army and navy oi
the United States.
President Roosevelt entertained hi.
( guests and all the commanding officers
of the fleet at a delightful luncheon
on board the Mayflower.
The president visited the various
vessels and asked the name and birth
place of each of the gun pointers. They
included men from all the states il
the union, as we'll as from Germany
Ireland. Norway and Sweden.
AS the president and his party ar
rived and as they departed, in turn from
each of the four fagships. the Kear
sarge, Olympia, Yankee and Texas
every one of the saluting ships in thu
fleet fired a salute of p guns. Durin'
