which occurred yesterday at his home
in Grsenville. Mr. Crosby was in
the prime of life, and was possessed
OF energy and honorable ambition

to the average man. He was fond oil
his home, his family, and his busy
life and arduous work work was de
voted TO their happiness and comfort
His ambition to educate his children
was nearly gratified, and he lived
ed in their studies.
Mr.. Crosby was practical and en-
thuslaStlc newspaper man, and was
one of the leading members of the
Mississippi Press Association. He
was j man 'of positive opinions and
and convictions, and advanced meas
lres with great earnestness and zeal
He possessed a high sense of honor
and was in every way credit to the
Mississippi uress

opposite the ship yards gate, before
they can see things good enough to
send in. The policemen on the scene
are getting spring fever. All they can
find to do is arbitrate squabbles over
marbles between the kids on the side
walks.
Lieutenant Ryan of the sixteenth
precinct. who is in direct charge of
the situation from the police stand
point yawned when asked about the
strike today.
You can say for the police" said
the lieutenant, that this is the only
strike we have ever seen where there
was no rioting or violence of any
kind, and no prospect of any. AS !
understand it. the relations between
the ship yards company and their
striking employees are cordial in spite
Of the break, and the company does
not intend to put on non-union men
until every chance to settle the strug-
gle is gone"
Lieutenant Ryan denied the truth OF
a report In an evening paper last night
to the effect that Chief of Police Col
Inns intended to send mounted police
to East Side to handle the strike. The
police departments attitude upon the
strike will depend largely upon the
| recommendations of the lieutenant who
is commanding officer of the sixteenth
precinct station, and he has made nc
requisition for mounted police.
