From the above it will be seen that
there is no further doubt about the
rebuilding of the Newman mill at this
place. 1t is an authorized statement
to a committee of prominent Hatties-
burg gentlemen and is given to the
public by authority of President +. l..
Peck.
While the statement has been fore
casted by the Daily News. the fact that
it is authorized, will be more convinc-
ing, for several days ago President
Peck stated that he would give out
an authorized statement before this
week
President Peck left this morning for
st. Louis and from there will go to
Scranton, Pa, where a meeting of the
directors will be held Monday and
it is confidently believed that at this
injecting of the directors the plans will
'be consummated for the work to be-
gin at once, or as soon as the neces-
sary details can be arranged and it
is believed that great many of these
details have already been decided
upon. 1t is known that machinery
men and architects have been here in
consultation with officers of the COM
pany, and it is understood that the
new plant will be of steel and as near
fireproof as it is possible to make it.
1t is also learned that there will be
two band saws and a re-saw, though,
of course the company may see fit to
make some changes.
The very fact that President Peck
has stated that the mill will be con-
structed along the latest, most modern
and approved lines of saw mill con-
struction" shows that the mill viii be
greatly superior to the one that was
destroyed by fire. 1t will be, as it has

New York, September 3.-Mrs. Clau-

torneys to at once instigate suit for
the possession of her three children,

This move was brought about by the

to testify against his mother. Hrs.
Hains alleges that Captain Hams
taught the boy to swear and that he

Jackson, Miss, September 3.-Today
marks the real beginning of the con-
gressional campaign in the Eighth Dis

the two candidates have been doing
more or less hard work for the past

only a few votes separated them from

VARDAMAN WOULD NOT
PERMIT ORGANIZATION
Hundreds of Charters Piled Up in
Executive Office and the Present
Governor VIII Dispose of Them.
Many Pardon Petitions.

Jackson, Miss, September 3.-When
Jas. K. Vardaman was governor he re-
fused 10 approve charters for negro
lodges, benevolent Institutions, etc.,
because he said he did not believe
it was good for the country for the
negroes to have such institutions.
Such charters as were submitted
to him during his administration were
carefully but firmly laid away in a
drawer or pigeon hole in the executive
office, where they remained until this
week. Among them is d Vicksburg
organization called THE Ancient and
Honorable Order of the Independent
Sons and Daughters of Ham of the
United States, Europe, Asia and Az
rica." There are said to be large
number of such charters left over from
the four years administration of Gov
ernor Vardaman.
Governor Noel, who has been rather
busy with other things since the be-
ginning of his administration in Jan
uary, has just reached this pigeon hole,
and is going through it. He says he
will approve all such charters as are
in proper form. regardless of whether
they are of negroes or whites. He will
see to 1t that the name of the organ
ization does not look or sound like that
of any white. organization, however,
and will insist that clauses be inserted
in each charter providing, first, that
no part Of the money of the organiza-
tion be used for the defense of Grim
inals, and second, that no obligation
in the order shall conflict with or les
sen the duties of members to the state.
Some of these charters, however, are
so old that they are made out on the
old forms, in vogue prior to the Code
of 1906, and these will simply be
thrown out Those which conform to
the new form, however, and can be
made to conform to the conditions i'm
posed by the governor as mentioned
above, will be approved.
There are big punches of pardon Pc
titions in the governors office stored
away in much the same manner. Gov.
ernor Noel says there are hundreds
of them. And during this week and
the weeks following there will be a
general cleaning up of the whole lot.
Many of the convicts whose pardon is
asked for have died. A good many
others have finished serving out their
terms and some have escaped. Others
who are still in confinement will be
given careful consideration, and
doubtless some of them will be par
ioned.
Contrary to expectations, Governor
Noel has proved himself to be a rather
lenient manipulation OF the pardoning
power. There has been very little
of him on that account, and
1t is fact that the public generally
approves of liberal spirit in dealing
with pardons in this state as well as
the others.

will put in a good deal of work for

very close one. 1t is even predicted
by some politicians that the vote in the

that in the first, and every effort will
be made to bring about this result.

change the wool storage headquar-
tiers from Chicago to st. Louis. He
claims st. Louis is the largest wool
market west of Boston, that it has
handled more Utah and Idaho wool
than any other market, and the freight
rate Is w cents lower than the rate
to Chicago from this section. Mr.. Har-
ris further says:
with the headuarters in Chicago
we would have to pay the heavier.
freight to Chicago and the further cost
of shipping back to st. Louis. 1t is in
this way that we claim an advantage
to the Utah and Idaho growers With

BOISE LAWYER TAKES
UNTO HIMSELF A WIFE
He Slips Away From Gem state,
Leaving Ills Closest Friends
III Ignorance.

Salt Lake and Boise friends of Judge
John j. Blake of Boise. Idaho, former
law partner of Senator Borah of that
state, are having considerable fun to-
day at his expense. Judge Blake was
at the Knutsford today and his pres
ence in the city was discovered by Sam
Peterson. formerly of Boise and row
of Salt Lake. and G. Rogers, business
man of Boise who is in the city. They
not only discovered the presence here
of Judge Blake, but found out some
thing that Judge Blake had taken
great pains to keep secret--the fact
that he has joined the ranks of the
benedicts. The gentleman Was married
quietly at Boise at high noon yeater-
day and lost no time In bringing his
bride to this city enroute to Los Angc-
les. and his friends and associates in
Boise know nothing Of the wedding.
According to statements made by his
friends here who discovered the secret,
the judge even fooled" his best friends
in Boise, including Judge Harry Leon
ard of the probate court there. 1t Is
told that he called upon the latter just
before the wedding and explained that
he was going away to$attend TO some
business matters and would not return
for, some time. None of his friends
knew that he had taken unto himself
Wife and it was not known until
Messrs. Peterson and Rogers found It
out this morning, quite BY accident.
The bride Is, or was, Miss Lila krull,
a prominent young woman in Boise
social circles. Immediately after the
marriage the happy couple came to
Salt Lake and went to the Knutsford.
From here they go to Los Angeles on
their honeymoon.
When Peterson and Rogers discov-
cred the secret, they kept the wires
hot between hero and Boise, advising
friends of the couple OF the wedding,
and they also sent a telegram to an
official there stating in effect that
Judge Blake had arrived in Salt Lake
under cover or darkness; that it was
understood he was wanted in Boise;
that he had been located here and
would be held il wanted.
