forty charges opposite his name. OF

Ii is stated that the better class of
negroes of indianapolis and other
cities in Indiana are forming them
selves into business leagues for the
purpose of Kidding these cities of the
negro crap-shooter, gambler. etc.
This is the best industrial education
that can be given the negro. If all
the respectful, law abiding negroes of
all sections of the country would run
out of the cities the low down, stink
ing class of thieves and gamblers, in
stead of harboring them and shield
ing them from the law. as is often
the case, it would go long way to-
wards preventing race troubles and
other disturbances and would save
many necks from the lynchers' hal
ter. The respectable, hard work ing
negroes are doing themselves an IN
jury by withholding their support to
the law by refusing to help the Off
GERS to run down and bring to justice
that class of negroes known as crap
shooters and cocaine fiends. Negroes
are naturally afraid of each other and
one will not inform on another if he
is certain that his name will be
known. Again, some of them i'm
agine that the negro race is being
prosecuted by the white people and
they will do whatever is in their
power to shield them and keep them
out of the reach of the law. This is
wrong and shows that they are not
good citizens or they would like to
apply to the negro or to the white
! man. There are mauy highly re-

Jackson, July 15.-The closing two

Pascagoula and Moss Point are soon
to be connected by street car line.
AS stated in the Progress some time
ago one would not be surprised to
see all the coast towns connected by
street railway. Owing to their
proximity to each other it would
seem to be a very safe investment,
end the time is not far when such an
enterprise will be agitated if not put

certainly be very large, from
Pacagoula to Bay st. Louis, and it
seems would be a paying institution.

Came Out or the Same Hole.
There was considerable filibustering
at the close of Thursdays hearing,
and the result Of the engagement was
that the bill practically came out OF
the same hole Il went In. A number
of amendments were made duiing the
session Of the committee of the whole,
and a substitute was offered by Rep
reseDtative Gallup of the upper PENN
sula. After a parliamentary battle
which lasted for nearly an hour, the
bill was again made the special order
for tomorrow afternoon. In the mean
time the Gallup substitute has been
printed. The entire question will prob
ably be disposed Of, so far as the
house is concerned, this week.
1t will be interesting to sportmen
and others throughout the state who
occasionally get after game to note
the changes in the game laws as pro-
posed by the Burns Westover bill,
which has been reported favorably by

ests. The most important changes are
the open season for deer Fl I'm Novem-
Der 8 to November 80, TO November 10
to November 80, thus shortening the
season two days; open season for quail
and partridges from October l to De,
cember 10, to October Is to November
80. reduction of 30 days; open season
for duck and woodcock, from October
| to December 10, to Septembe. | to
February 10, this being an increase OF
three months. The bill, however, pro
hibits the spring shooting of ducks,
and will meet with opposition for this
reason. The measure further reduces
from three to two the number of deer
that one person may legally shoot dur
ing the open season, but the provision
originally incorporated permitting the
sale OF venison in the state was elimin-
ated.

Probationary Bill stili in the Air.

The probationary bill mentioned by
me last week is still i'm the air. At
ter its passage in both houses under a
suspension of the rules, many of the
Legislators came TO the conclusion that
a measure Of such great Importance
was worthy OF more careful consider
alton. 1t was, therefore. recalled
from the governor and is now in the
hands of the judiciary committee of
the house. There are number Of
legislators who do not believe that
judges should be given the power TO
place convicts on probation, either be.
fore or after sentence. The stampede
which resulted in the rush to recall
the bill was due to the fear that the
measure would furnish an opportunity
for the release Of Frank c. Andrews,
who is now IN prison for wrecking
the City Savings bank OF Detroit. This
fear emphasizes the fact that little
or no consideration was given the bill
when it was rushed through. AS
matter Of fact. Andrews could not
possibly be benefited by it. as it pro-
vides that the courts shall not have
power to place convicts OH probation
after they have been committed to
prison
