DEAD BROUGHT TO ]
LIFE BY WOMAN
BASE BALL MEN
MEET TOMORROW
Steps To Be Taken With View Of
Having Hattiesburg Team In
New League. $3.50.

Every man in Hattiesburg who feels
any interest in Hatiesburg being rep
resented in the new baseball league
to be organized in Jackson one week
from tomorrow is cordially invited
and urged to attend the meeting to be
held at l o'clock tomorrow afternoon
at the Hotel Hatiesburg.
The time in which to do anything
toward having South Mississippi's cap
ital represented at the Jackson meet
ing is short, and whatever is done
must be done quickly. With a salary
limit of s1,25O per month, as is pro
posed, there is every reason to be
lieve that a permanent league can be
formed of Mississippi cities exclusive
ly-a league that can at least make
expenses and very probably little or
the side.

Statement Of First National Bank
Of Commerce Presents Healthfui
Reflex of Conditions.

The statement pf the First Ma
tional Bank of Commerce published
in today's issue of this paper is an
encouraging reflex of the healthful
financial condition of this community.
Its deposits and reserve funds are
large, yet the fact must not be over
looked, that at this season, the banks
have large sums invested in cotton
loans, which will be available for gem
eral business purposes after a short
time.
A comparison of the details of this
statement with a statement published
by it in September, 1908. shows the
following important gains.
Individual deposits have increased
sS7, 100000.
Time certificates of deposit have
increased nearly 20 per cent.
This indicates that the people arc
stronger, and are growing more so
as we all know the forward movements
of the return of our prosperity and
enterprise. is now only well under
way.
The increase of time certificate:
of deposit is especially gatifying. as i
indicates the people are saving money
Blessed are those who save, they prac
tice self-denial The reapers who dt
not harvest the produce of their labors
accomplish nothing substantial fol
themselves, and build nothing for tn,
general betterment of humanity.
We are glad to see our banks en-
couraging the savings habit. All tn,
local banks receive savings deposit,
and we hope to see this feature O
their business grow and magnify I,
such an extent that there will be al
abundance of working capital pro
vided thereby, for the use of this par
of Mississippi .
Hattiesburg has three first-clas
banking institutions which are i,
every sense worthy of the respect an
confidence of the public, but we ar
especially gratified and pleased tina
one of them has the largest banking
resources in the State. This fac
: draws much favorable attention t
, Hattiesburg.

ANIMAL WAS FIRST
SHOCKED TO Death
In Presence oi Physicians and Woman
Doctor Then Restored Animation
BY Means of Very Simple-Looking
Electrical Apparatus.
(By Associated Press)

New York, Nov. l3.-Dr. Louise G.
Rabinovitch, the young woman who
recently announced that she could re-
store to life those who had been ap-
parently put to death by electricity,
gave remarkable demonstration to-
day before the officers of the New
York Edison Company, by reviving an
apparently dead rabbit. DR.. Rabino-
witch declares that she can do the
same with a human being as she did
with the rabbit.
f The rabbit that was used in this
afternoons demonstration was appar-
emily killed by an electrical current.
Contact was made at the head, heart
and base of the spine, and at the end
of one minute several physicians de-
clared the rabbit was dead.

Intense Feeling In Government
Circles Because Of Execution
q Americans.
STATE DEPARTMENT
AWAITS EXPLANATION
viii cepend Upon What Methods
Were Pursued sy Executed Men A.
to What Course United states Will
Take-warships sail.


Washington, Nov. 19.-Intense agi-
tation exists this morning as the result
of the execution of the two Americans
in Nicaragua by order Of President
Zelaya.
The State Department is awaiting
with due patience some explanation
by the Nicaraguan government. 1t is
stated in Nicaraguan press dispatches
that the men were executed on the
charge of attempting to blow up some
of Zelaya's troops. If these reports
are accurate, probably everything will
depend on the method they pursued
If it should appear the Americans
slipped within the lines of the gov
ernment under disguise and planted
mines, they might be regarded as spies
and subject to summary execution, but
if they did their work openly, it prob
ably will be held they should have
been treated as prisoners of war.
The cruiser vicksburg and the gun
boat DesMoines are on the way to
Nicaragua to protect American inter-
ests there.

Life Is Restored.

Then the young woman prepared
her apparatus, simple looking cleo
trical appliance, and attached various
contact arrangements to the supine
and apparently dead rabbit. BY turn
ing the current on and off several
times and then allowing strong cur
rent to run steadily for several mo-
ments, respiration was produced and
gradually the little animal was re-
vived.
Within three minutes after the doc
tor began shocking the rabbit it was
breathing again. Three minutes later
it was kicking its legs, and when re-
Pleased from the apparatus it was as
lively as ever.
1t was necessary in the experiment
to remove the fur from the rabbit II
three places-at the head, at the bacf
of the chest and at the lower par'
of the spine.

FINANCES OF STATE
Being CONSIDERED
Are Being Given Careful Attention BY
Chief Executive-Session Probably
Will Last at Least Two Months.
Vacancies In Senate.
Special to The News.


Jackson, Nov. 19.-Governor Noel is
being deluged with advice, sugges-
tions and recommendations relative
to the subjects to be discussed in his
biennial message to the approaching
legislative session.
If the governor should agree to
transmit for the consideration of the
lawmakers all of the topics that have
been broached to him, many of them
| in a very insistent manner, he would
furnish the legislature enough grist to
keep 1t steadily grinding for at least
a year.
In accordance with the purpose an
nounced some time ago, however, the
governor intends only to submit for
consideration such proposed laws as
in his opinion contain sufficient merit
to entitle them to consideration at
this time
This does not necessarily mean that
only few recommendations relative
to general legislation will be presented
by the governor. On the contrary
there are so many subjects which, in
his opinion, are entitled to considera
tion that his message will doubtless
be a document of considerable length
and furnish the lawmakers enough
work to keep them busy at least two
months, together with the revenue
and appropriation bills that must o.
necessity be considered.

 The hotel committee. named several months ago, held meeting at the Hotel Jefferson Saturday afternoon. and it was decided to call on all of the people in the city to help enter tain the travellers during their meet ing, to be held here in June. In oth- CT words it is the intention of the committee to make a house to house canvass and ascertain from each one as to how many square bedrooms they can let us have for the use of the travellers during the three days. They will meet here the first week in June. to entertain these people, and as chairman of this committee most sincerely ask that the people of Pine Bluff come to our aid. It is not our intention for the different ones who let us have rooms to give them any meals whatever, as the visitors and delegates will get their meals down town. The visitors are more than willing to pay for these rooms. what ever you may ask; the idea is to get sleeping accommodations for these people.
 I would appreciate it very much if any one who has rooms would kindly drop me letter to that effoect or call up l42, old phone. as we have oniy about three or four weeks before ev- erything will be on. It was further decided at this meeting that the mem bers of our committee, which is to make this canvass, call at the Hotel Jefferson the third Saturday morning in May, at s o'clock. as this is the day we begin our canvass.
