SALVATION ARMY
HELPS POOR WOMAN
CAPT. MAFEE PAYS HIGH TRIB-
UTE TO HATTlEsRuReANs.
Says They Are the Most Generous
People He Has Ever known--Ai-
ways Ready to Contribute to a
Worthy and Deserving Charity.

The Salvation Army was called on
again yesterday for help for a poor
and needy woman who arrived in this
city only to find herself in a strange
town without money or friends.
The story is this.
Yesterday morning there arrived
In this city from Carson a mother with
babe in arms trying to make her
way to Gloster and on getting this far
on the way found herself without
funds to pay her passage further.
She remained around the Gulf and
Ship Island depot most of the morn
ing and finally growing desperate on
account of the baby she determined
to apply to some one for aid. In some
way one of the first people she applied
happened to be DR.. Bufkin, who imme-
diately referred her to Captain Nc
Afee.
The Captain thoroughly examined
into the woman's story and becoming
convinced of its truth decided to help
her on her way.
| He found that she desired to simply
get to Gloster and the cheapest rate
by any route was $5.55 and this he
started out to get. Everybody knows
the Captain and they feel that when
he endorses a charity that it is de-
serving for which reason he was not
long in getting the amount necessary
together with little over as good
! measure.
The woman and her babe left last
night happy and thankful that she
fell into such good hands.
In speaking of the matter Captain
McAfee said he wanted to thank al
who aided him in getting the woman
her ticket and for that matter he
wanted to thank them for all theil
kindnesses to him and his cause.
He said that he had served in many
towns all over the United States bu
he had in all his experience never
seen the equal to the people of Hat
tiesburg when it came TO outrigh
generosity and liberality>in giving t,
a worthy charity.

President In Encouraging Equality
Of Negro With the White.

Washington senate listened
to debate on the race question Sat
urday, in which Senator Tillman was
the principal participant, and Senator
Patterson Of Colorado his opponent.
They brought into striking contrast
the ideas of the south and north.
President Roosevelts action in the
Brownville' matter was the subject Of
discussion. Mr.. Tillman held that
nothing was involved in 1t except the
race question, and that the admins
tration was responsible for the grow
ing acute condition of the race ques-
ton In the south. The president, he
maintained. has encouraged the negro
to assert his equality and then had
wrought vengeance on a whole bat
TALON for following that encourage
ment. He condemned the presidents
action In some respects.
Mr.. Patterson defended the presi-
dents right to dismiss the troops. but
said there might be some ground to
question its policy. He condemned
in strong terms what he regarded as
the radical position of Mr.. Tillman,
and predicted that the extinction Of
the Democratic party in the north
would follow continuance of such
tactics.

Washington.-The proposals opened

tire construction of the Panama canal
we're as low as had been expected by
experts on construction work. For
some time 1t has been known that
several members of the commission
believed per cent on the estimated
cost Of construction would be a fair
remuneration lot contractor under

The lowest proposal, that Of William

offered to do the work for CTS per
cent on the estimated cost, is lower
than had been expected.
Granting that the estimate Of sl40,-

canal. which has been frequently spok-
en- of In congress, is accurate. the re-
muneration of the Oliver-Bangs COM
bination would be $9,450,000 In case

MAHON CALLED

Fist Fight in the House Of

ed by Other Members Of
the House.

Washington.-Late Thursday after.
noon Mr.. Gaines, Of Tennessee, and
Mr.. Mahon, Of Pennsylvania, were only
prevented from meeting in a personal
encounter by the Intervention of
members on the floor of the house.
Mr.. Gaines was making speech on
his bill to dock" members pay for
absence from the house, and was be-
ing twitted by both sides Of the cham
Der, to his evident embarrassment.
During his speech he charged Mr..
Mahon with being absent from the
house 95 per cent Of the time.
Previous to this sweeping assertion
Mr.. Gaines had read excerpts from the
record In relation to the Withholding
Of pay in the Fifty-third congress and
the part Mr.. Mahon had played at that
time.
Mr.. Mahon remained silent through
out Mr.. Gaines speech, with the ex-
ception Of interfering remark or
two at the beginning. When Mr..
Gaines had concluded Mr.. Mahon rose.
He explained how in the Fifty-third
and Fifty-ffth congresses he had
$1,000 due him and that Speaker Crisp
had given him an order on the SER
geant-at-arms for the amount, which
was paid. Then, coming to the crux
of Mr.. Gaines charges, Mr.. Mahon
Numbered:
ANY man who charges me with be-
ing away from this house 95 per cent
OF the time tells an untruth."
Mr.. Gaines started down the aisle
from his seat, mo man can tell me
lie," he exclaimed.
1t looked for moment as though
the dignified congressman would en-
gage In a rough and tumble fight, but
friends interfered and order was re-
stored.
Later both gentlemen apologized
and clasped hands amid loud aplauses
from their fellow congressman,
