BOARD
IN COURT
Gets the Best of the
Decision in the
Hurley Suit for
Damages

One Of the important cases decidea
by the Federal Court at Vicksburg
yesterday was that of the Hur-
ley heirs ct al VS. the Mississip-
pi Levee Board. Both sides were abr
represented. The jury brought in a
verdict for the plaintiffs for SI3,5o3,
with interest at six percent. Tie
amount sued for was $4,000.
Attorney Walton Shields. OF the
Levee Board, offered Hon. J. w. Gil
trer, the representative Of the Hur-
ley-Duke heirs, $4,000 damages as
a compromise before the case went
to trial but this was rejected. The
award OF the Federal jury being
nearly $500 less, clearly shows that
the Boards attorney. who was ably
assisted in this fight by the Hon.
Walt Sillers. won a great fight and
saved the district many thousands of
dollars.
It was victory that they can we'll
feel proud Of, and for which the
thanks Of the Board and people ar,

Whitheld's Dissent

Chief Justice Whitfield dissented
in all Of the points made by his as
sociates. His opinion consisted of 4:
pages Of typewriter pages, being
one of the longest handed down from
the bench in recent years. It was
largely argumentive, strongly word
ed, but not as replete with author
ity references and citations as his
opinions usually are. In a word, the
Chief Justice discussed the case. He
did not attempt to decide it. This
had already been disposed of by his
associates.
Briefly summed UP, the Board of
Control is sustained, in SO far as
the legality OF its action is concerned
Justice Calhoun stated in concluding
his opinion that he had very positive
views as to the other legal questions
involved, meaning the right to lease
but he would not express these views
when they were not necessary, in
his opinion. to a proper disposal Of
the case 1t is believed, and on gooa
grounds, that the views Of Judge
Calh1in on the other legal phases
practically concur with those Of Jus
tice Truly
The Board of Control now has its
path cleared, and there are no obsta-
cles of any nature against the work
ing Of the Sandy Bayou place for an
other year with the State convicts,
and in accordance with the McLaurin
contract Since it has been determin-
ed that the Governor has no right to
enter suit, it is claimed by he Nc.
Laurinites that the right is not vest
ed in any citizen, and only the Legis-
laure has the power to review the ac-
tions of the Prison Board. The con-
tract, between the Board and H J..
McLaurin has been signed, and it is
asserted that legislative enactment al
this session on the subject of leasing
cannot vitiate or cancel the contract
the Legislature being without power
to enact ex post facto laws

Five Millions for a Fence

(From the St. Louis Post Dispatch
The Government of New South
Wales has spent over $5,ooo,ooo for
all kinds OF means to prevent the
growth of the rabbit plague, and, It
has now been decided to fence the
whole counary with an immense wire
net
The expense for this wire net is
estimated to exceed $5,ooo,ooo, and
it is thought that the wire can be i'm
ported for this purpose at cost of
about $3.50 a mile, delivered at Sydney
The rabbit plague is increasing from
pear to year., which is best shown by
the fact that such an enormui
amount as $5,ooo,ooo, or nearly Ic
per cent of the annual revenue of the
country is to be expended for this
purpose.

WORTH KNOWING.

Every man and woman in this town should know of Paxtine Toilet Anti septic.
 It whitens the teeth, destroys germs that invade every cavity and crevice, and prevents decay; also invaluable for cleansing artificial teeth.
 Paxtine destroys all bad taste, per fumes the breath and keeps the mouth and throat in perfect health.
 This is because Paxtine is the most successful formula of a noted Boston physician, used in his private practice for years in curing the most obstinate infamed and catarrhal conditions of the mucous membrane surfaces of the body, and is being adopted by physi- clans, dentists and trained nurses ev- anywhere as the most thorough cleans ing and healing antiseptic, Every woman in New Haven should use Pax tine in her toilet.
 Many women say that if Paxtine were ten dollars a box they would not be without it. Have you tried 1t? 5Oo at druggists. For sample address The R. Paxton Co, 75 Pope building, Bos- ton. Mass.

DIR. WEAVER STILL, MISSING


 Hartford, Dec, 24.-The police in New York have been requested to search for Dr. William M Weaver, a son of Superintendent of Schools Thom- as s. Weaver of this city, who disap- peared yesterday week from the Gen. tral lslip sanitarium on Long Island. The wife of the missing man and many relatives, including Superintendent Weaver, have been quietly searching for Dr Weaver during the past week. the latter having gone to New York last Wednesday and visited the sanita- rum with his sons wife.
 Dr. Weaver practiced in Hartford for about five years after graduation from the Yale Medical school. Previously he had done considerable newspaper work both in New Haven and New York. He is thirty-six years old and entered the sanitarium because of a nervous breakdown
 While in New Haven Dr. Weaver made many friends who will deeply de- plore the affliction that has overtaken him.
 Dr. Weaver's wife advised that he be given more latitude at the sanitarium, believing that he would not run away, and the physicians at the institution let him take walk1 alone.
 A theory has been advanced by the more pessimistic members of the searching parties that Weaver may have died from exposure.

 ReceptiOn--Win be Repeated Again
 This Afternoon and Evening.
 Manager Bunnell could scarcely have booked better drawing card for the Christmas holidays than William B.. Grays beautiful pastoral masterpiece, the Volunteer Organist," which played to large and appreciative au- dience at the New Haven Theatre last night. The play has won name and fame for itself all over the country, and has been greeted by enthusiastical- ly crowded houses wherever shown. It IS a drama that is specially adapted for such a season as Christmas. because of It's high moral tone and because it strikes deep at the hearts of the people who witness it. None leave the theatre without feeling better because of it's power to convert pity for the less un- fortunate of Gods creatures in the world. The chief character is a Metho- dist minister and the author hah made his part both natural and possible. The rest Of the characters are also very. true to nature and just such as one has met or IS likely to meet during the travels of a life time. The scene of the story is laid amongst the verdure-clad hills of old Vermont.
 The liquor question enters largely into the plot of the piece, and the res cut rom the clutches of that curse is one of the principal points of the sto- ". It is the unique method adapted by the young minister to accomplish this that serves as a big surprise, not withstanding that it is a most rational way to go about it, as thinking people will admit.
 The scenic effects are very striking indeed, and include a realistic snow storm and historic Trinity church, where the Volunteer Organist comes to the rescue of the minister, who is In a dilemma because the choir have gone on strike. The well rendered solos of the boys cid in their surplice is exceed ingly fine and brought forth hearty ap- pause from the audience Few can af- ford to miss seeing this fine production which will be presented at the Christ mas matinee this afternoon, when evening prices will prevail, and again in the vening. There will also be the usual matinee Wednesday afternoon, and the last performance will be given the same evening, Sale of seats now open at the box office for all perfor- mances.
