The latter price is 3 cents better than

Other European markets advanced
sympathetically.

The real influence, however, was a

Mr.. ". 6. HOWARD
Makes A STATEMENT

In connection with a report which
was published in these columns yes
terday with reference to an automo-
bile which had been taken from the
barn of Mr.. w. p Craft, at Ellisville,
Mr.. w. G. Howard called at The News
office this morning and stated that he
had not taken the automobile without
permission, but that he had Mrs.
Crafts permission to use the machine.
He also said that his reason for not
returning the automobile earlier was
the fact that while out in the country
some distance from town, the gasoline
gave out, and he had no means of car
rying the machine back to Mr.. Crafts s
barn without getting another automo-
bile with which to tow the Craft ma
chine, which he finally did. Mr. How
ard said that the charge against him
was not for "appropriating an automo-
bile" but for trespass, which charge
was dismissed yesterday. He stated
that he was in Hattiesburg now as
the representative of the Mobile Mo-
tor Company, but that he had until
very recently been in the employ of
Mr. N. B. Shelby of Ellisville, as chauf-
feur, and that Mr.. Shelby would vouch
for his good character.

Will Be Taken Up and Other
Matters Discussed.

Tonight the city council will hold
another session, and the unfinished
business of the regular meeting,
which was held last Tuesday night,
will be taken up and disposed of.
Practically the only thing which
will engage the councils attention in
the way of routine business tonight
will be the allowing of accounts, but
it is thought very likely that the Main
Street school building matter will be
reopened and discussed at this ses
sion.
1t is the opinion of some that the
old building can be put in a safe con
dition to accommodate the school for
the remainder of the session for less
money than it would take to move to
another building, and this is the phase
of the question which the council will
probably discuss tonight.
