Peonage Charges.

A peonage charge was filed in the
Federal court by a negro named Dan
January against James Patrick, a
prominent Rankin county farmer who
lives about seven miles north Of Bran
don.
The affidavit alleges that January
was held in involuntary servitude,
together with his wife and six chill
dren, by a man named Carter who
then sold him to Patrick for the sum
of $1O90.95, alleging a debt IN that
sum to be due, and Patrick refused
to release him from custody until the
debt was cancelled.
January states that he was whip
ped by Carter with buggy trace un-
til he was bloody from head to heels.
and exhibited to Commissioner Nose
ley his barred body showing huge CASH
es and welts across the flesh. He Is
still too feeble to walk, and states that
was unable to move for ten days af-
ter receiving the whipping.
Mr.. Patrick was arraigned before
Commissioner Moseley. Judge John t.
Enochs of Brandon appeared for the
defense, and Hon. w. B. Banks, as
sistant district attorney for the gov
ernment.
The evidence failed to show where
in Mr.. Patrick was in any way IN
volved in the act Of holding January
in peonage; that he had merely pur'
chased debt claim from Patrick, SUP
posing that the negro was willing te
work it out, and that he knew moth
ing whatever Of any cruel or inhu
man treatment that had been accord
ed the negro by Carter, anuary ad
mitted that Mr.. Patrick had always
treated him kindly. COMMISSIONS
Moseley then dismissed the defendant
and the Federal deputies, it is under
stood, will next endeavor to ascertain
the whereabouts Of Carter.
That the negro has been inhumanll
treated by some person is very evl

Major Waltz said that his servant

much discussion the question was re-
ferred to a committee, which has not

FLEET FOR PACIFIC COAST
Plan to Send Battleship to Western
Coast. Senator Perkins Urges d.
vision of Atlantic Fleet.

A plan is under way to divide the
fleet of battleships now assembled
on the Atlantic coast by sending fully
one half of them 70 the Pacific coast
station. This movement is largely
fathered by Senator Perkins of Cali
fornia, who, while expressing himself
as not at all apprehensive of an ap-
preaching conflict with Japan, yet be-
heves that our enormous Pacific coast
line should not be left practically with
out naval defense.
There are no battleships on the Pa
.cifc coast at the present time. The
principal units of naval defense there
are the cruisers Charleston, Chicago,
Boston, Princeton and Yorktown and
a few torpedo boats. All of these yes
sells save the Charleston, are OF old
construction, and would be of very lit
tie use in a conflict with frst-class
naval power. The battleship Oregon
one of the initial three battleships
constructed for the navy and the bat
tleship Wisconsin are at the navy
yard at Bremerton, Wn., undergoing
extensive repairs. 1t will be year
or more before they will be available
for service.
On the Asiatic station the naval
power is represented by four large
armored cruisers of the West Vlr-
einia class and the old monitors Mon
adnock, and Monterey. The Monad-
mock is in reserve, with skeleton
crew aboard, and the Monterey is out
of commission at Cavite Added to
these are a number of more or less OBJ
solte gunboats for use among the Phil
ippine Islands and squadron of pro-
tected cruisers, the Baltimore, Cincin-
matt, Raleigh, Galveston, and Chatta-
nooga, These are not especially for
midable either in respect to speed or
otherwise.
Senator Perkins also believes the
naval plants at Brementon and Maze
Island should be thoroughly equipped
for the construction of battleships
and minor craft, and to this end it IS
his opinion that cne vessel, Of the
first class should always be under con
struction at each Of these years.
The experiments made recently by
the government in the construction
of the battlships Louisiana and Con
necticut by the Newport News Ship
building Company and the United
States government at the Brooklyn
navy yard, respectively, shows that
despite the handicaps imposed upon
government construction generally
the time occupied in the building OF
these two vessels and the expense
s'were practically the same. 1t takes
time to assemble the needed skilled
labor and the necessary appliances
for the building Of battleships, and
it is deemed the part Of wisdom to
have such equipment as may turn
these vessels out with the least pos
sible delay, and in time of war era
BILE the government to repair damage
sustained in conflict and otherwise
with the maximum speed.

Beer in Soldiers Homes.

Beer halls in the several branches
of the national home for disabled vol
unteer soldiers netted profits to the
government aggregating $165, 5,454 dur
ing the last year, according to the an
nual report of Col John L. Chamber
lain, Inspector General, whose annual
report to the Secretary of War is
one Of the strongest recommendations
made for the retention Of the canteen
featues of these homes.
"The beer hall l believe to be a
most valuable agent in determining
the comfort, contentment, health and
general welfare of the members. Near
ly all members ara of advanced age,
their habits are formed and fixed be-
yond possibility Of change. Their pen
sions furnish means wherewith to
drink, and those who desire drink can
and will get it. In the beer hall they
obtain beer of the purest and best
quality, and the amount consumed can
be and now is strictly regulated. Ii
the beer hall should be abolished the
money now spent in the beer hall-in
fact much larger sum-will be spent
in the neighboring saloons and dives.
The profits which are now expended
for the pleasure, comfort and conve-
nience and general welfare of the
members will be lost to them and will
go into the pockets Of the saloon keep
