REWARD FOR CAPTURE
MAY BE INCREASED
Believed in Some Quarters That sors.
by is Being Held With the Hope of
Betting More Money.-others Think
He Has Skipped.

Jackson, Miss, October 3.-The
search for viii Sorsby, the slayer of
Postoffice Inspector Chas. Fitzgerald,
is being continued Dy several detec-
tives including a number of govern
ment men. The county officials have
practically abandoned the systematic
following up of the clues which started
the day following the killing. but are
on the alert for information which
might lead to his capture within the
county.
Every night since the tragedy Of
ficers have gone out to places where
he has been suspected Of being in hid
ing, at the homes OF relatives and
friends, but nothing has come of It.
These efforts will continue. however.
so long as there is the remotest chance
of his capture near here.
While there has been no definite in
formation to that effect, the impress
sion pretty generally prevails that the
fugitive has made his way either to
railroad station or a steamboat land
ing and effected his escape from the
state by. one means or the other. al
though there are many who refuse to
believe that he has left the immediate
section around his home at Clinton.
AS yet no rewards, except the 5000
offered by the state, have been an
nounced. but unless he is captured
within the next day or two it is ex-
pected that these rewards will be ma
terially increased. There are even
now those who believe that he is with
in reach of parties who are standing
back for larger rewards. This, how
ever, is mere matter of speculation

COUNCIL IN
Session NOW
Twice DAILY
Equalizing of Taxes Requires FIRE.
quent Council Meetings
and Much Work.

The city council is holding not only
nightly sessions now, but daily ses-
sions as well, and some days two
sessions are held. The work at these
sessions is largely routine and unin-
teresting to any except those whose
taxes, real and personal come up be-
fore the board. The council has a big
task in the equalizing of taxes and
work on the tax lists of real and per-
sonal property necessitates frequent
gatherings of the legislative body in
order to get the troublesome job over
with and out of the way.
Last night much work on the tax
lists was done. Again this morning
that task was tackled, and this after
noon the council is again working on
the tax lists. 1t is possible, even
probable that another meeting will be
held tonight.

aged AZ, was hurled against the side
of a building and instantly killed
early this morning by an automobile
containing four women and a man.
Ryans companion, Miss Josephine
Waggoner, was also fatally hurt. The
two were crossing the street when the
machine swayed from its course and
struck them. The flying auto con-
tinued on its course despite the frantic
efforts of the crowd to stop it. Wit
nesses say that the occupants were
either drunk or wildly excited.

Manila, October 3.-Although Ad-

anchored in plain view of the city, the
crews are kept prisoners on board the

At a conference of Governor-Gen-

plan was not to allow the tars to land

number of cases is decreasing.
Officers are allowed shore leave un-

is the Chicago police have been SO
active and SO bitter in digging up
plots that they have got a faction of
foreigners against them, but they are
no anarchists.
'.The Chicago police said Miss
Goldman, "are absurd. Immediately
after the assassination of Father Leo
