The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1906-01-25

The thorough restocking Of game
covers is urged in report issued to
the Department Of Agriculture in a
report on nGane Conditions in Jan
uary.o Now that the hunting season
is practically over" the report says,
the biological survey suggests that
efforts be directed towards insuring
more effective protection of game and
an adequate supply for the future.
Owing to the non-migratory charac-
ter of quail, and the consequent de-
pletion of various localities where
hunting has been excessive or the
birds have been killed off by the Sc
verify of the past two winters, re-
stocking is frequently necessary, and
the demand for live birds for this pur-
pose far exceeds the available supply.
The difficulty is augmented by the
fact that Southern birds are scarcely
hardy enough to stand Northern VIM
tiers, and hence it is difficult for Nor
them states to secure birds suited to
the climate. -

rs ROUGHLY HANDLED.
Young Architect Given Drubbing and
Told to Leave City.

Vicksburg, Miss, Jan. 20.-J. Fl.
Jaffray, young architect who has
been here for several months repre-
senting w. w. Knowles, Of New York,
as supervising architect for the First
National Bank building now under
way, was given strenuous thrashing
by several prominent citizens and or
dered to leave the city at once, which
he has evidently done, as he has NOT
been seen since the affair, which ocl
Cured in the Hotel Carroll late last
night. The cause Of the trouble is the
showing Of letter by Mrs. Charlotte
Catlin Graves Of New York, who came
down here to have Jaffray marry her,
as she said as he had promised, and
as he refused, she made known the
contents of the letter Mayor Griffith
who is president of the First Nation
al Bank, was asked about the affair
and said that he had seen the letter
and it seriously reflected upon the,
character of Southern people and had
maligning and untrue references to
several citizens here. Jaffray had
moved in good society here, and his
trouble was quite surprise, although
the presence of Mrs. Graves here
and her public statements were be-
coming the topic of conversation. Mrs.
Graves father, Brigadier General
Catlin of New York, is here with his
daughter. They will leave in few
days for home. She has typewriter
copies Of all Of Jaffray's love letters
to her, and several days ago she stated
that she intends to compel Jaffray to
keep his promise and marry her.

New York, Jan. William NJ
Holmes, whose wife was detained by
the Washington police, was in COM
munication yesterday with United
States District Attorney Brown in
Brooklyn, and he said he desired to
take steps for the removal of Mrs.
Holmes to an asylum when she was
found.
Mrs. Holmes lived with her hus-
band in Brooklyn, but had been absent
from home for two days. 1t is said
that she has been sending letters to
President Roosevelt for several weeks
accusing him of being the head of a
gang, which she thought were perse-
cutting her.
Mr.. Holmes said that he had asked
the Washington police to release his
wife.
81 talked with the Washington au4
thorities," he said, explaining the
nature of my wife's dementia, and
asking them to release her into the
hands of her friends, with whom she

committed to an insane asylum, from
which she escaped in 1904. She has
been allowed her freedom since this

The Statehood Bill was under con-
sideration by the Senate Committee
on Territories. A number of minor
changes were agreed upon. Among
the amendments discussed was one
for the insertion of a prohibition
provision for the Indian Territory
similar to the House provision, and it
will probably be incorporated in the
bill. The question Of joint Statehood
for Arizona and New Mexico was 25t
brought up There is no intention of
reporting the bill until after the
House acts. Friends Of the bill claim
that all the Republican members of
the committee and one Democratic
member, Mr.. Clark, Of Arkansas, will
favor the reporting of the measure
substantially as it was introduced.
The full strength Of the Republican
"insurgent" vote against the bill
was canvassed during the conference
and estimated at forty-one. With a
full attendance of the stalwarts'
this vote can be overcome. The bill
will be accompanied in the House by
a rule prohibiting the division OF the
Statehood question. 1t is estimated
that two days will be occupied.

OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS AND NOTES
ITEMS OF INTEREST BRIEFLY
CHRONICLED.
Postofice Employees Think the Post
Office Department is Overstepping
it's Rights when it says That They
Shall Not NEEDLE in Politics.

The attempt of the Postofice De-
partment to prevent postmasters,
clerks in postofices, city letter car
riers, rural letter carriers and other
persons employed in the postofiice es-
tablishment from participating in pol
tiles is attracting wide attention. Mem
bers of Congress, particularly MEM
bers of the House Of Representatives,
are inclined to resent this constant
effort on the part of the department
to check those postal employees who
insist in taking political hand. Some
Representative go as far as to aver
that the department is prosecuting the
little fellows and permitting office
holders higher up to go unrebuked.
1t is pointed out by the rebellious
members that if the administration
proposes to lay down rule that post
office employees shall not engage in
party politics, it should apply the
same rule to government employees
in every branch of the service. In
their criticism of the action of the
Postoffice Department Representa-
Ttives are declaring that it is notorious
that in nearly every state in the North
internal revenue collectors and their
employees, United States marshals
and other assistants, collectors Of Gus
toms and their employees and not in
frequently district attorneys and their
assistants are active in politics and
are never called to book. "Now,o
these complaining members say, IF
the administration proposes to pun
ish government servants for meddling
in politics, why don't it go after ev-
erybody that is guilty? Why is it
that the Treasury Department does
not call halt in the internal revenue
collectors and the collectors of Gus
toms who are active in politics, and
why does not the Department of JUS
tice see to it that United States mar
shals and U. S. district attorneys keep
out Of politics." It is averred that
it is too often the disposition of the
government to get on the little men,
the men who are receiving the small
est pay and doing the hardest work
and let the big fellows alone. The
Indiana delegation, for instance, has
been considerably aroused over the
Wholesale charges preferred against
the postmasters, postoffice clerks, ru-
raj carriers and city carriers in the
Eighth Congressional district. In this
case blanket charges were preferred
against nearly every postmaster in the
district and against large number
of the subordinates.

WILL REBUILD THEATER
Manager of orpheum Circuit Says
Company Will Begin Soon Erec-
tion of San Francisco House

Martin Beck, general manager of the
Orpheum Circuit company, arrived in
Los Angeles Saturday from Oakland,
where he met the other members of
The board of directors of the Orpheum.
He says that rebuilding work of the
Orpheum will be commenced immedi-
ately. The new building will seat 2500
people and is to be one of the finest
theaters in it's appointments in America,
he says.
The Orpheum really suffered less
from the disaster than any other San
Francisco theaters, for it had previously
been decided to tear down the old Or
pheum this summer, and hold the
shows at the Tivoli or the Grand opera
house while O. fine new theater was be-
ing built on the old O'Farrell street site.
Practically the only change in the plans
necessary therefore is that while the
Orpheum is going up the shows will be
held in the Chutes theater, so that in
a few weeks the people of the stricken
city will have means Of recreation Of
fered to them. The directors expect to
have the new Orpheum completed be-
fore the first of next year and are de-
termined that it shall be the first the
ater to open in new San Francisco.

NOT AN ASPHYxIATIoN
Highland Park Misses Sensation
Happily for the Family
InvoIved

Highland Park was startled yester-
day by a story that members of the
household of Mrs. j. II. Ready. who
lives at 5612 Pasadena avenue, had been
asphyxiated, but happily it was a
runor that grew as 1t was passed from
mouth to mouth but shrank when the
facts were learned.
San Francisco refugees who were in
the house were said to have turned on
the gas and let it flow, not knowing
the proper use of the connections, but
this was an exaggeration.
Friends of Mrs. Ready may feel as
sured that she is well and told the fol-
lowing story last night:
"The plumbing is new and the
pressure was evidently too strong to
allow all of the gas to be consumed
when it was lighted under the heater.
II did not notice it until there was
considerable III the house and naturally
il made me little sick, but am all
right this evening"
