PILOT NICHOLS COMPLAINED
OF BY PRESIDENT
VIOLATES NAVIGATION LAWS
During Trip Down the Mississippi
His Pleasure Boat Made the Trip
Very Unpleasant to the President.
Used Indecent Language
Morning Times Special.

Morning Times Special.
Memphis, Tenn, Oct 5-Clarence
Nichols, pilot on the steamer Fred
Hartweg, was tried this afternoon
before Capt II c Waltz. inspector
of hulls, for gross violation of laws
of navigation for conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and for reckless and
dangerous navigation, and his license
suspended for $50 days.
This action was taken at direction
of President Roosevelt, who wired
Supervising Inspector at Evansville
to investigate this case and suspend
the guilty party for $50 days.
Nichols is accused of running so
close to the steamer Mississippi in
her voyage down the river from CAR
70 that he endangered the lives of
those on board both vessels besides
committing a breach of the rules
governing river navigation.
His boat is said to have carried a
party of Pittsburg people, and that
besides other infraction of navigation
laws, and the laws of decency, he
kept the whistle of his boat shrieking
almost continually during the trip
from Cairo to Memphis.
When told by the master of TIE
Mississippi to drop back into line and
not come so close to the Presidents 5
boat. Nichols swore at the master
i'll the presenceof Roosevelt.
This discourtesy together with his
breach of discipline and refusal to
obey the rules governing navigation
so incensed the President that after
counsel among the officers ON board
his boat and members Of the Inland
Waterways Commission, he decided
to order suspension OF Nichols.
The pilot denied at the investiga-
ton that he had committed any vio-
lation OF the rules or shown any dis
courtesy to the President, but the
testimony of Col Sears of the water
ways commission and other witness
es was to the contraryand his con-
viction resulted
President Roosevelt sent for Sur
pervising Inspector f, L. Dorsey and
Local Inspector II. C. Waltz and w.
J. Hodge to meet him at his train
and just beforeleaving Memphis, he
instructed them to probe this matter
to the bottom and give Nichols The
extreme penalty of the law.

For the past few weeks Mr. T. P.

have proved SO successful that he has
determined, if he can get the sup

There IS no enterprise which would
prove a greater blessing to Green
vile and this section of the Delta
than good brick plant We are
told that at least fifty thousand dol
lars Is sent off yearly from here fer
brick which would be one small item
alone that would remain at home in
the pockets of the people.
That Mr. Reynolds deserves en-
couragement and backing in his en-
terprise from the business interests

hope that it will be very liberal when

success of the enterprise he con-

The Wrono Bird.

A professional rat catcher in a
town of northern Pennsylvania be-
ing recently called to another place
intrusted number of ferrets to the
care of a neighbor.
Upon his return he found, to his
disgust, that owing to the careless
ness of the neighbor several ferrets
had escaped from custody. The rat
catcher thereupon proceeded to
bring a claim against the caretaker.
The magistrate before whom the
suit for damages was brought dis
missed the case.
"No doubt" said he to the care
taker, "you were wrong to leave the
doors of the cages open; but, on the
other hand" added he, turning to
the rat catcher, "you were wrong
too. Why didn't you clip the wings
of the ferrets ?"-Harper's Maya

peteetina Crime In Ethiopia.

The Ethiopian method of detect
ing crime is quick and effective and
has the great advantage of always
catching some one. A priest is call
ed, and by his exhortation, prayers,
sorceries and drugs youth is sent
to sleep with the command to
dream. The person he dreams OF is
the criminal. No further proof il
sought or needed. The sanction OF
the church is quite enough. If by
chance the boy fails to dream, he
is promptly put to sleep again by
the same process until he does, SO
that he usually manages the affair
in a short time.-Pall Mall Gazette.
