Supt. flanagan Says the Lead Line
and Switch Tracks Are Soon
to Be Built.

Supt Flanagan, of the New Orleans
and Northeastern, was in the city
the day the wreck occurred. but left
at noon for Littlewood.
Mr. Flanagan stated while here that
he had come to Hattiesburg to make
arrangements to have some tracks put
IN, including the lead line to the new
station It was his purpose to have
this work started at once, and he will
probably return within few days to
attend to this matter.
Asked about the new passenger sta
ton Mr.. Flanagan said thu purpose of
putting in this lead line was that ma.
terial might be hauled to the station
from either direction and he stated
that as soon as this was done there
would likely be active operations to-
ward the construction Of the new sta
ton. 1t is hoped that the wreck will
not delay the plans of the company.

Berlin, November 13.-Sealed up in

suffocation is the fate of 365 miners
trapped in shaft of the mines at
Hamm, West Phalia. by the explosion
of coal dust y5stcl da,.
-Four hundred :aca were in the mine
,l4-. VI the explosion and only
95 of these have been taken out alive.
Most of these are so badly burned
that they cannot recover.
Thirty-seven dead bodies had been
recovered before the owners of the
mine decided to flood the shaft and
then hermetically seal the mine in
order to extinguish the fiames. The
engineers had already decided that
any further efforts at rescue would
prove futile.

JACKSON TO Meet
JEFFERSON College

Jackson, November 13.-Increasing
interest is being manifested in the
football game to be played on the
local gridiron Saturday between the
Jackson team and that of the Jeffer-
son Military Institute. The latter
team has not lost a single game thus
far during the present season, but the
local aggregation expects to make an
exception of this event. Daily prac-
tice is being indulged in by the Jack
son eleven, and while greatly out
weighed by the military boys, expect
to win by the use of superior skill,
speed, science and a liberal use of the
forward pass.
The play ground is on the fair
grounds, convenient to the main resi-
dence and business sections, and a
large attendance is expected from
many parts of the state, in addition
to a good crowd of local enthusiasts.

STRONG CANDIDATES
Many Members of the Profession,
However, Seem to Favor the APP
pointment of More Elderly Man,
Noeps Mind Is Not Made v.o.

Jackson, November 13.-Governor
Noel announces that he will announce
the successor of the late Associate
Justice S. s. Calhoon, of the Supreme
Court, Saturday afternoon, the ap-
pointee to take his place on the bench
when the tribunal convenes on Mon
day.
81 have not had opportunity to ex-
anime any of the petitions and en-
dorsements filed with me for the full
1,ine-year term which would have COM
menced May 10, had it not been for
Judge Calhoons DEATH said Gov.
Noel last night, NOR am l sure that
the appointee to. be named will be g:
Iected to fill more than the mexp ed
term.
However, l intend to take action
on the matter Saturday, and in the
meantime 1 will examine the petitions
and endorsements of applicants now
on file in my office"
That the governor Is up against the
most delicate task he has encountered
since the beginning of his admins
tration is beyond all doubt. Many
members of the bar are not in favor
of either os tie three agpirants whose
names are now pending, which is not
difficult to understand in view of the
fact that fully seventy-five per cent of
the lawyers in the state had endorsed
Judge Calhoon for a new term prior
to his death, and they have not yet
had time to form new alignments.
Again, there are goodly number
of leading members of the profes-
sion who would like to see the place
rendered to more elderly man than
Mr. Stirling or Judge Smith, who are
the most formidable aspirants for the
place, and they are so expressing
themselves in very positive manner.
Without Offering criticisms concern
ing Mr.. Sterling or Judge Smith, who
are very estimable gentlemen and en-
Joy much personal popularity, thiG Sec
tion of the bar clings to the tradi-
ton that Supreme Judge should be
man Of mature mind well grounded
in the law, of large and varied ex-
perience il active practice, and who
has enjoyed hign standing in his pro-
fession for at least score of years.
Governor Noel has not given an in
timation of any sort concerning the
probable identity of Judge Calhoon's
successor. Indeed, he frankly says
that his own mind has not been made
UP on the subject, and any guesses or
predictions as to what he is going to
do are therefore without value.

Jackson, November 13.-Ex-Gov.
Robert Lowry, who has been confined
to his bed for the past several weeks,
and who suddenly took turn for the
worse day or two ago, is again re-
ported to be improving.
Gen. Lowry is in his seventy-eighth
year, and the severe spell through
which he is passing has greatly weak
ened his usually good, though never
strong, constitution, and many of his
friends fear he will not be able to
recuperate. His recent backset has
increased this fear, and anxious in
quiries are constantly being received
at his home on Fertilization street,
where the reports are always encour-
aging when given out by members OF
the family, but rather to the contrary
when coming from the attending ply
sicians, who do not themselves enter
tain the high hopes manifest by the
family.

the bones were brought in and placed
on the table. He then smiled con-

Judges and attorneys have conferred
on certain phases of the ordinances
and as a result the phraseology VIII
be altered to cover all points involved
more specifically and legally.
Because of certain technicalities fiji
teen cases are now hanging fire in the

which make 1t advisable for the city

Hereafter it is probable that be-
sides getting a permit from the health
board applicants must get license
also from the city clerk.
Strict rules calling for a display OF
the licenses at a conspicuous place
where granted will be made.
The law has been amended recently
to cover free lunches in saloons.
