Jackson, Miss, May 26.-Instead of
criticising the action of Acting Gov
ernor Manship during the governors
absence in Washington. New York and
other points, Governor Noel yesterday
stated that he had no criticism what
ever to make as to any action of Lieut..
Gov. Manship. The office, he said,
has been conducted very much as he
>would have conducted it himself had
he been here.
When he left the city the governor
had brief interview with the lieu
tenant governor, who told him then
that he did not haye any restrictions
placed on the pardoning power. The
governor laughed, but asked that he
not open the door too wide, and that
was about all that was said on the-sub-
ject.

news BOY ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH THEFT

Joe Miller, a news butcher on the

taken into custody here last night by
Sheriff Amos Jordon, of Jones County.
He was charged with stealing two
negotiable bonds to the amount of
5000, which were left on seat in the
car, together with other papers owned

Mr.. Craft boarded the noon train
yesterday at Ellisville for Laurel and
laid the package on seat in the car

Upon arriving at Laurel when he
went for his package he noticed that
the large legal envelope containing
these two bonds was missing.
The train only stopping about five
minutes in Laurel Mr.. Craft did not
have time to make an investigation of
the matter there, so he got the sheriff
and caught the southbound local pas

8 o'clock. Joe Miller, the same news
boy, was in charge on this train and
as soon as the train had arrived, the

pardoning power he himself had. and
has no idea of going behind that or any
other act of the brief Manship admin

When asked as to a rumor that he
had made some one a promise not
to pardon Startling. Governor Noel said
he had never had occasion to consider
the matter from any standpoint, as he
had never been asked to promise 70
either pardon or not to pardon the
prisoner. The pardon petition had
never been. presented to him.
AS the matter stands there will be
no effortsto have Startling re-arrested
nor VIII the incident be used as test

Some of the railroads running through the territory in the southwest took up the advancing tendency after reaction set in for the spring wheat grangers. The spurt in Ro ' Island pre- ferred was given some speculative sig nificance as a possible reflection of the entry into the movement of the group of capitalists in control of that property.
 Reports of negotiations for a large new order of freight cars for the Gould sys- tenn melted some buying in the railroad equipment group There was stirring at various points in the list of indus trials, which is encouraged by the strik- ing advance which has taken place In United States Steel. Amongst the fac tors making for restraint, besides the wheat damage reports were the prepara- tions making by the interstate commerce commission to investigate the increase in freight charges. The news of activ- ity by the department of justice in seek ing evidence to prosecute the suit against the Hartman railroad merger was re- garded as a possible disturbing factor, as it shall develop. The resort to fam boyant advertising methods to incite speculative furore in stocks was looked at askance as likely to arouse distrust rather than to inspire a following. The sustained strength of wheat told on the speculative tone of stocks as the day wore on and helped to make the closing easy.
