The Creighton, Neb., News has

mail order houses.
The ultimate damage to a commu-

In long run it proves a decided

culiar situations.
Their claim that their rents are
lighter in proportion to the amount of
goods sold is refuted by the fact that,

The claim that they save the ex-

DENIES THE
ALLEGATION
Capt Jones Not Connected With the
Land and Timber Syndicate-To
Extend the G. GS.I

Gulfport, Miss. April 26. Special
to the Commerciaj-Appeal: Your
correspondent called upon Capt. Jones
today and asked him as to the reports
that have from time to time been
published in the daily papers with
reference to his connection with the
syndicate which is alleged to have
come into the state Of Mississippi for
the purpose of buying up all of the
timber lands and building new rail-
roads, and asked him for information
touching upon such reports.
Capt. Jones, with his usual frank.
ness, stated einphatically that there
was not word Of truth in any Of the
reports; that he did not own dollars 8
worth of property in the state Of
Louisiana, nor did he contemplate do.
ing so; that he was in nowise connect
ed with any railroad in the south,
except the Gulf & Ship Island rail-
road; that he was not constructing
nor contemplating the construction Of
any railroad except the extension of
the q. g. s. l. railroad between Co.
iumbia and Silver Greek, and the
electrical railroad along the Missis-
sippi coast.
Capt. Jones further stased that he
had never been and was not now con.
nected in any way with any syndicate
which had for its object the purchase
of the pine timber in the state of
Mississippi, but that his energies
should be directed in the future, as
they had been In the PAST, toward as
sisting in every material way the
owners Of the mills along the line of
his road and othor parties who de-
sired to establish on his road in cut.
ting the timber from the soil, saving
the same into lumber and shipping it
off to market.
Capt. Jones declined to express any
opinion with reference to the state
ments made about other parties in
connection with the buying Of timber
lands in Mississippi, for the reason
that he knew nothing about it, but
stated that he supposed that it was
greatly exaggerated and ~r-et1s~.e.rtad
use OF his name in connection with
the same matter.
Capt. Jones further stated that any
assertion that he had purchased or
contemplated purchasing the Liberty
White railroad was without founda-
tion in fact. and existed only in the
vivid Imagination Of some industrious
and enterprising news gatherer. With
reference to the statement that he was
a party to any combination which
had for it's object the purchasing of
tho pine timber in the state Of Missis-
sippi so as to be able to control it
against the interest of the people of
the state, Capt. Jones tersely re-
marked that his whole life in Missis-
sippi was in such utter contradiction
to course of this sort that it did not
need the slightest notice; that he had
devoted his time, energy and means
to the upbuilding Of Mississippi since
he hau come into the state and that it
should continue to be his aim to do
those things which brought the great
est good to the greatest number.

Washington. June 19.-There are
practically no, new developments OBJ
servable to-day in the negotiations for
peace between Russia and Japan.
President Roosevelt, for a day or two,
has been deeply engrossed in other
matters and while not for a moment
losing sight of the arrangements for
bringing together the far eastern bel
liggerents has insisted that the next
move in the game diplomatic was with
the contending nations themselves
That move is the selection of the en-
voys to represent them at the Wash
ington conference.
Both Minister Takahira and Ambas.
sador Cassini called on the president
this afternoon, but neither divulged
the nature of the conference. Count
Cassini remarked that the negotiations
were moving forward smoothly and
that he had not conveyed to President
Roosevelt the names of the pienipo-
tentiaries who would represent Russia
CT had he received from the president
the names those of Japan.
