TO REMEDY WEAK
POINTS OF THE LAW
Valuable ideas Likely to Be Borrowed
From AIabama's New Laws-com-
mittee Also Will Discuss constitu-
tional Amendment.

JACKSON, October 25.-The prohib,.
tion leaders of Mississippi, not salts
fled with the present prohibition law
as whole will ask the legislature at
the next session to pass additional
laws for the purpose of tightening 1t
up and strengthening it in its weaker
places. Particularly will they suggest
methods of securing its oette, and
more uniform enforcement.
Hon. c. H. Alexander of this city,
chairman Of the committee selected
by the prohibitionists two years ago
for the purpose of putting before the
legislature draft Of the legislation
wanted along this line. and whose ideas
are well represented in the present.
law, will call a meeting OF the full
committee to he held about the first
of December The main purpose of
the proposed meeting is to determine
just what suggestions will be made To
the legislature in regard to statutory
changes.
At this meeting, too, or through
correspondence before the legisla-
ture meets in January. will be de-
termined whether or not an effor+ is
to be made at this session to sc cure
constitutional prohibition. There is a
division Of opinion among the Leaders
as to the wisdom of such an under
taking at this time, although there is
no difference of opinion TO speak of
as TO the desirability of having such
provision in the fundamental laws f
the state.

PROHIBITION LAW
SMALL Scene IN
The CITY Court
D. Johns, From WWitness Chair,
Threatens to Whip W. A. Roper
Told to "Come On"

Il don't let no man call me that, and
if he says it again | will whip him!"
cried D. Johns, an Italian, from the
witness stand in the city court this
morning.
Come on and do it now shouted
back W. A Roper, the man referred
to by Johns, and Judge Davis had to
rap loudly for order and admonish the
men to be quiet.
Johns had Roper arrested on a
charge of cursing him and applying to
him an epithet which reflected on his
mothers character. and while testify
ing he worked himself into a fit of
anger. Roper, on the stand, had ad-
mitted that he probably cursed Johns
after the latter had called him a
d-n liar. He also said he had hit at
Johns in a effort to break his face"
Johns stated that he had not cursed
Roper and other witnesses said they
had not heard him 10 do so.
The dispute originated about some
horses both men were thinking of
buying and led up to Roper accusing
Johns of owing him Is cents for two
years. Roper was fined SS.

CIRCUIT COURT
IS IN SESSION
Fall Term Opened This Morning, Civil
Docket Will Require Three Weeks
of Hard Work.

A six weeks term of the Forrest
county circuit court began in Hatties-
burg this morning, and for the next
three weeks the court time will be
occupied with the civil docket. which
is said to be unusually large this fall.
The cases for this term of the court
were set by Clerk Nixon two weeks
ago, and the docket embraces some
very interesting suits, some of them
involving large sums of money, one
of the most important of which is the
case of Mrs. Berry VS.. The Cumber-
land Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, ct ais, wherein Mrs Berry seeks
to recover damages for the death of
her son, which occurred during an
electrical storm in this city about two
years ago, and while deceased was
working on wires of the defendant
company near the Hotel Hattiesburg.
The case was tried in the Forrest
county circuit court, appealed to the
supreme court, where it was reversed
and remanded for another trial. The
suit involves a large sum Of money,
which the plaintiff desires to recover
from the defendants for the death Of
her son.
The civil term of the court will last
for three weeks, after which the crimi-
nal docket will be taken up, and an
other three weeks will be required
for its disposition.
The criminal docket also is said to
be very heavy, and it is thought that
it will be difficult to dispose of all
the casesnow on the dockets during
the next six weeks.

Statement Not Authorized.

While DR.. Donald has never author
lied a statement that he would be a
candidate for the office ON the other
hand he has never said hat he would
not run if his friends should insist
upon his entering the race.
The attempt by the Clsrksdale
Register to eliminate DC. Dsnld from
the race without having consulted
him or his friends in the matter has
not been looked upon with favor by
the Hattiesburg friends Of the mayor
who would consider it an effort to
eliminate him from the race without
consulting him or considering the de
mands of his friends in all sections
of the state that he become a candi-
date.

NO Such Statement
FROM DR.. DONALD
While He Has Not Stated Positively
That He Would Become a Candi-
date for the Office, He Has Not
Yet Declined to Enter the Race.

Citizens of this city are today dis
cussing a statement made by the
Clarksdale Register to the eff
feet that DR.. ]. D. Donald of
this city, has declined to enter the
race for governor of the state of Mis-
sissippi, and in view Of the fact that
Doctor Donald had previously stated
that he was in the hands OF his
friends, and would be governed by
them in this matter, the statement
that he was already eliminated from
the race has occasioned much com
ment in local political circles.
While DR.. Donald has never said
positively that he would become a
candidate for the office, inquiry by
a News reporter this morning devel-
oped the fact that the statement to
the effect that he had declined to be-
come a candidate was entirely with
out foundation, and had never been
authorized by DR.. Donald or any of
his friends.

Section of Jones and Covington
Counties-Mass Meeting viii Be
Held at Collins Tonight.



COLLINS, Miss, October 25.-The
Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City
railroad contemplates an extension of
its line from Ellisville to Collins. a
distance of about eighteen miles, pass
ing through very fertile section of
Jones and Covington counties.
The plan in view is to use the Par
ker logging road for a portion of the
distance, that line having been built

require only two or three miles OF
construction work to reach the town
of Collins, on the main line of the
Gulf and Ship Island system.
A mass meeting will be held at

discussing the project. Several NJ,

NEW YORK, October 25.-Richard
Croker is hurrying to New York City
on the fastest Transatlantic steam
ship afloat, to come to the aid of his
personal friend and business associ-
ate, Charles w. Morse, for the sec

Morse sent for Croker Immediately
after he was sent back to the Tombs,
after the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals confirmed his convection
and sentense by the United Stale

This appea to Croker was based
upon the fact that it was the former

king who brought about his reease

Whie it took Croker four months

case, Morse is said to be hopeful that
