phonic communication with represep-
tative citizens of Sumrall, to learn
that absolute quiet prevailed in the

All of the Italian residents of Sum

put the whole matter on the shoulders
of the Railroad Commission. In other
words he showed that the commission
was expected to arrange the matter
and that the council was out of it.
MIR. McNair then called OH Mr.. Cur
ran, who made short but very plain
talk in which he showed that while his
road had been intending all along to
put in a station suited to the needs
OF this city for years to come and
which would be a credit to the roal
and to the city, the matter of union
station was a nsw proposition that
should be approached after investiga-
ton and consultation with the other
railroads. He said that his read haG
never intended forcing this question
pp the other roads, but wished, indie
pendently, to provide a suitable depot
for the people Of this city, and If all
these plans were now to be changed
some time should be given to proper
consideration Of tho subject.

the assistance of the police depart
nent tonight in order to preside over
a meeting of the city council. The
presence of the police was made nee
essary by the fact that the president

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

There are still conflicting reports
as to the causes leading up to thu
whipping of Scaglioni and the deter
mination to drive undesirable Italians
from the town. The mill men claim
that labor troubles were at the bottom
Of it, but majority of the citizens or
Sumrall insist that the presence of
Italian children in the public schools
was the sole cause OF tie trouble.
Count Maroni is still in Sumrall col
lecting evidence in the case and has
seen treated with cvery courtesy b.
the citizens Of the place.
