MAN-WOMAN Is
UNDER1ARREST


Baton Rouge, April 13.--Somewha
of, a sensation was created here in
police circles today by the arrest of
woman who was masquerading as
a man. The woman came up yester-
day afternoon from New Orleans and
was in one of the saloons on the
r.ver front when she let the fact out
in some way that she was not .
,,an, as she represented herself to
be. She was very well dressed n
trousers, shirt and coat, with her ap.
pearance as man. She was arrest.
ed and taken to the city hall, where
she was questioned by Chief of Pc
lice Hare. She represented herself
to be spotter for the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley railroad, but she was
not known to the Deceive force of the
road here.
This story of the woman was no
believed, but as there was nothing
against her she was released.

sand miles wide at either end of it.
The waters of the two oceans. he
says, are gurgling into these two
holes and out of them much after
the manner of the exit to bath
tub.
And he's afraid that Wellman's bal
loon will fall into one of the monster
holes.
He isn't sure that the explorer
would be seriously hurt in the mis-
hap. for he is convinced that the in
side of the earth is inhabited the
same as the surface thereof, and that
human beings tramp around 1t with
their heads down, dead to- the
knowledge that there is fresh air and
sunshine and moon and stars and
the beauties of space without.
This theory that the earth is hol-
low is by no means new, however.
The Romans had hollow earth club,
of which Pluto was president, and
the theory has been frequently ven
tured in connection with the "ver-
tex" hypothesis of creation.
1t is pointed out that Andree and
his balloon and hundreds of other
artic explorers might have been
sucked in"
The Daily News suggests that Mr.
Wellman take cable along with him,
so that he may tell us about his won
derful dash through the pole hole
We'd hate to lose him from our sio
of. the earth, but we'd be willing to
make the sacrifice for sciences sake

TAXES
MUST BE PAID

Jackson, April Estate Auditor
e. J. Smith has completed the work
of sending out privilege blanks to the
rs tax collectors. All privilege licen-
SEES become due and payable on the
first of May, and. IL not renewed
within that month, the delinquent is
liable to double the tax. Formerly
the law also provided that the delin-
quent forfeited his standing in court,
but this clause was repealed by the
legislature of 1906.
The recent lawmaking body made
goodly number of increases in the
privilege tax assessment and Auditor
Smith expects the state to derive
about 100000 from this source with
in the next six weeks. The collectors
will make their settlements with the
state during the first week in June
and this will provide the treasure
with sufficient funds to meet the
semi-annual distribution of the com
mon school fund. amounting to sass.
666.66.
The privilege taxes assessed by
counties amount to so per cent. of the
state tax. Municipalities levy sim
liar tax, and in the delta the levet
boards annually collect a snug sun
in privileges.

That Jail Question.

If the Daily News understands the
position of the members composing
the Forrest county board of super
visors, further discussion concerning
the location of the new jail is I'M
necessary.
The board has decided that the
new bastile is to be located on the
court house common, near the site
of the present structures and Presi-
dent Pace is positive in his asser-
ton that there will be no revival of
the subject.
While the Daily News, for many
reasons, would have been glad to see
the new Jail located further from
the business district, the members of
the board have abundant argument
on which to justify their action.
The close proximity of the jail
to the court house will greatly facil-
late business, and it will minimize
the possibility of escapes while prls-
oners are beng transferred from one
building to the other. In fact large
majority of city jails are now con
structed as parts of the court houst
buildings.
Some of the property owners ad
iacent to the Forrest county cour
house are very much opposed to tn
building of the new Jail on the sit
of the old one, and especially is thi
true of. those who own residenc
property along Forrest street FROM
ing the court house square, but thes
people have no just cause for CON
plant. The jail was there when the.
| purchased the property, and the ne
building will certainly be no NOR
| unsightly or unsantary than thu
old one.
On the contrary, it is possible tina
the board would have encountered ;
storm of protest had they undertook
= to locate the Jail in another part o
= the city, and the property owner
:: adjacent to the new location woult
= have had just cause for complaint.
Z" Since the matter is settled, how
:: ever and the members of the boar
:: have evinced no disposition to re
=" open the question, the Daily New
+" suggests that it be forgotten.
There are other things more oil
- noxious and unsightly than well col
structed and sanitary prison, an
ce some of the people who are kickin
hardest on the Jail proposition hay
in the power to abate these other nui
nj ances, if they were only disposed

A Hattiesburg citizen, who insists
that his name be kept out of the
newspapers for the present, has Just
addressed letter to Walter Well
man--jo irnalist and arctic explorer
extraordinary-urg him to forever
and finally to abandon all attempts to
reach the North pole, in a balloon.
The writer of the letter was a
schoolmate of Wellman's. He il
proud Of his former classmate, and
believes that he can come nearer
reaching the northern extremity OF
the earth than any other living man
and here lies the trouble.
This Hattiesburgan has hit upon
the theory that there is ne North

He has discovered, in fact, that
the earth is hollow-like a cocoanut

Those fertilizer warehouses be-
tween Front street and the North
eastern railroad tracks are still doing
business. The odor on the streets
yesterday afternoon and last night
was simply nauseating. Since the
city sanitary officer bias made no ef-
fort to abate this nuisance, and other
city officials have evinced no DISPOSE
ton to compel him to do his duty

lynch law, but wen head a crowd Of
