MANS OWN PISTOL
 CAUSED HIS DEATH
coroner's Jury Makes Finding In Case of Eugene F. Dearing's
 Death.

Meridian. Miss, June 22.-(SpeciaL)- The coroner's jury inquiring into the death of Eugene F. Dearing, who was found dead in the streets of Hickory, q village on the A. and V. railroad about twenty miles west of Meridian last Sun day morning has decided that the de- ceased came to his death through the accidental discharge of his own pistol. Dearing was night watchman of the town and having had some trouble on Saturday with negro, Hub Wells it was at first thought that Wells might have known something of the killing, but in- vestigation removed this suspicion.
 The bodies of E. H. Hinson and his son, Allen, who were drowned near Rolf, in the Indian Territory several days ago, arrived in the city last night and were taken through the country to their for mer home in Kemper county. MT. Hinson was formerly a prosperous merchant and planter of Kemper and had many friends in Meridian.
 report reached the city this morning that the body of Pierce Mobiey, the negro who killed young Ed Jones, near Oakgrove, in Kemper county last Satur- day had been found in the woods a few miles from the place where the killing occurred but the story could not be confirmed. The news came in letter from the vicinity of the killing, however, and is regarded as credible.

MR. WEAVER'S NEXT MOVE IS MYSTERY Police Department in PhiIade- phia is Shaken Up POTTER IS ON HIGH HORSE Police Must Not Belong to Republican Clubs and Must Take lnstruc.

 Leader.
POTTER IS ON HIGH HORSE

Philadelphia. Pa, June 22.-Frequent conferences were held between Mayor Weaver and his counsel today, but thus far they have been followed by no new developments and neither the Mayor nor his ouunse. will intimate what the next move on their part will be or when it will be made. Mayor Weaver also had talk with City Controller Walton. City Treas urer Shoch and Solicitor Kinsey, in ref erence to the filtration contracts.
 Annorncement was made today of the selection of II. D. Parsons of New York an engineer. to take charge of the inves- tisatlon of the physical work on the fll- ttation system.
 Mir Pars o1ls has been given authority to pick the men who shall assist him in the investigation and his choice shall be made soon.
 It was explained at the Mayors office today that Messrs. E. T. Perine and A. L. Tinsley, experts engaged in the filtra- tion contract investigation would devote their time entirely to an exhaustive eN- animation of the books, drawings and other records in the filtration bureau and would lave nothing to do with the phy- sical work on the system, while William B. Parsons, who was chief engineer on the New York subway, who is member of the Panama canal commission, will have general supervision of the entire in- quiry.
 Scores Police Sergeant.
 Director Potter of the department or public safety today severely scored the sergeants of police for what he termed their neglect of duty.' Departing from the usual custom of having the district lieutenants report to the superintendent of police, the director today ordered the sergeants to the city hall. While they were assembeled in the roll room, Direc- tor Potter entered and delivered seath- ing address.
 "Every day" he said, "complaints reach me in reference to the conduct of policemen. but there could be no shirking Of duty and misconduct on the part of the men if the sergeants kept a strict surveillance over the men"
 Continuing, Director Potter said that he had received information that police men were seen entering republican club frequently while on duty.
 q understand" said the director that patrolmen know just when to expect the street sergeant on his rounds. They meet him and then almost before he gets out of sight they sneak into the club. 1 want it distinctly understood that orders have been issued that policemen resign from -1,f ie , effect and you will be responsible for its enforcement"
 The director said he was informed .Aat a circular had been issued instrueting policemen how to eVade orders and he emphatically told them they were to take no instructions from any ward leaders
