History Will Be Made Within the Next Few Days In
 New York.

NEW YORK. Dee. With the air full of vague rumors and war talk the leading spirits in the world O. organized baseball held animated council at the Waldorf-Astoria today, with side slxirmishes at the Victoria and several other nostelries where the magnates of the big and little leagues are wont to congregate.
 It is a good safe bet that baseball history will be made as a result of the several meetings of this week beginning today with the meeting Of the national commission. The Amer ican and National leagues hold their annual meetings here tomorrow, but they promise to be exceedingly tame affairs in comparison with the session of the national commission, at which delegation from the minor leagues will present a firm demand for some desired changes in the national agree ment.
 Representatives of the clubs com prising the American association and Eastern league were early on hand al the Waldorf-Astoria today in readi ness to confer with the national com mission in regard to the plan formu l lated at the recent Buffalo conference through which the club owners oi these two leagues hope to be placed ina class by themselves, where they
 will be unhampered by the restric tions imposed upon the smaller organ izations and, in effect, will place then on a level with the two major leagues 1 Leaders in the American associa l tfon and Eastern league affect a feel l ing of confidence in the result of tho conference with the governing body

GRADING TO BEGIN
MONDAY FOR WORK
Mr.. Lee Is Well Pleased With Outlook,
But Does Not Want Too Many
Tracks Across Main Street as II
Would Prove Dangerous.

Railroad Commissioner F. NJ. Lee. OF
Brookhaven, was in the city yester-
day and left at $3.50 p. m. over the
Mississippi Central for Brookhaven.
Mr.. Lee was asked If he was here on
official business and he replied very
promptly that he was. He said that
he had come over here to see about
that new Northeastern passenger sta
tion; that he was determined to see
that Hattiesburg got it and within
a reasonable time. He said that he
understood that grading would start
mex Monday.
1t is known that Commissioner, Lee
is opposed to putting any more tracks
across the Main street than is abso-
lutely necessary for passenger busi-
ness. This he stated when he was
here short time ago. In other words.
Mr.. Lee is not in favor of allowing
the Northeastern to connect lot of
spur tracks, thereby making them
sidetracks across Main street. He made
this clear when he was here before,
but he is determined that Hattiesburg
shall have the new passenger station
and that the work shall not stop with
the grading.
There is probability, however, that
the Northeastern win not permit
any let up when the work is begun.
The Northeastern when it once begins
work has the reputation of pushing
it to completion and Mr.. Lee seemed
to be well satisfied with the outlook
for the new passenger station.

is announced that by Saturday night

taken to defray the expenses OF those

ARCHITECTS BUSY
ON OWN ACCOUNTS
Daily News Man Has Talk With E. s.,
Peck, Resident Manager Of the Big
Mill, Who Explains the sItua-
tion.

There is no person or concern in
Hattiesburg more anxious to see work
begin on the Newman Lumber Plant
than is the Daily News.
While it is certain that the mill will
be rebuilt, and that, too,> in short
time, 1t viii be interesting to the read
ers of this paper to know exactly what
the officials of the company have to
say.
Mr.. e. s. Peck, who is the resident
manager of the company, was seen
this morning and asked to make a
statement about what had been done
about letting the contract for the con-
stuction of the min.
In reply, Mr.. Peck said that nothing
had yet been done and that reports
that there had, must have originated
in some ones fertile Imagination.
Further than this, Mr.. Peck said
that the company had not accepted
any plan for the rebuilding of the mill
He confirmed the telegram of his
brother, President Peck, who wired the
Daily News that no bids had been
asked for.
Mr.. Peck said that the company
hadn't even adopted plan for the
buildings. He stated that about a
month ago the company considered
aIplan drawn in this city. but the plan
was found to be unsuitable and the
company did not adopt it.
! In reference to plans, Mr.. Peck
stated that five architects or firms had
asked for permission to draw plans
and submit. them; that these architects
from different parts Of the country had
come to them voluntarily, and were
drawing plans on their own initiative
and the company might or might not
accept one of the plans He said that
Mr.. Street, who represented Clark
Bros. & Co., was one of the men who
came here and asked permission to
make plans and that Mr.. street was
here about two weeks and asked per-
mission to use one of their rooms
which was granted, but that this car
ried no promise, implied or other
wise, that the company would adopt
his plans.
| According to Mr.. Packs statement
no plans have been adopted and until
they are accepted no work will begin.
President F. L. Peck is expected
the latter part of this month or the
first of next when it is very probable
that something definite will be given
out.
There can no longer be any doubt in
| the minds of anyone that the Newman
Lumber Company is going to rebuild.
This much may be regarded as settled,
and as the price of lumber is advanc-
ing something absolute and definite
may be expected when President Peck
comes.
| The statements herein made about
the plans of the company are from
headquarters and there is no reason
to believe that the Messrs. Peck would
make any Incorrect statement about 1t.
II Che plans had been adopted, or bids
asked for, there is no reason why they
should try to conceal 1t. and they are
