Carried To HOSPITAL.

Beasley was taken to the police sta
ton, where he remained for short
while, until an ambulance could be
summoned, when he was taken to the
Hattiesburg Hospital where an oper-
alton was performed by Drs. Ross and
Hudson.
At the time of going to press, ad-
vices from the hospital are to the ef-
feet that Beasley's condition is ex-
tremely critical. While the operation
had not been concluded, it had pro-
gressed to an extent where the sur
geons could form an intelligent idea
of the nature of the wound, and indi-
cations are that some of the vital or.
gans had been penetrated by the
officers bullet. The ultimate result
cannot, of course, be determined
until reaction sets in, which will prob
ably not occur before 12 o'clock to
night.

NICARAGUA MINISTER
GIVEN HIS PASSPORTS.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 2.-Secretary OF
State Knox late yesterday returned
the passports of Felipe Rodriguez,
charge d'affairs of the Nicaraguan lega'
tion. with letter scathingly denounc-
ing the Zelayan administration of the
government of Nicaragua. The letter
is definitely declared to represent the
views of President Taft, and is about
as plain spoken as anything emanat-
ing from the State Department in
many years.
The extraordinary feature OF the
letter is that it seems to evidence an
intention on the part of the United
States to hold President Zelaya per
sonally responsible for the alleged tor
tire and execution of the Americans
Cannon and Groce, and exhibits the
unioue situation of one government
holding the Chief Executive OF an
other practically as common male
factor. Zelaya is branded as viola
TOR of solemn international conven
lions. a disturber of the national ant
international peace, a tyrant whos'
administration has been blot upol
the name of good government.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The note
which accompanied the passports de-
livered by Secretary of State Knox to
Felipe Rodriguez, charged daffairs
of the Nicaraguan legation, is gen.
orally regarded as one of the most
scathing documents issued from the
State Department in many years.
In it warning is sent to the Cen
trail American republic that they must
behave and conduct themselves as
other countries in the Western heml
sphere conduct themselves. This and
the direct announcement that the
United States intends that the fami
lies of the republics shall live peace
ably is believed by the diplomatic
world to be epochical.

ing, however, Treasurer Geo. r. Ed
wards. Jr., expressed the opinion that
with the receipt of this remittance
the deficit will be practically at an
end.
Il believe the November tax collec-
tions, which will be paid into the
treasury early in the present month,
he said, will be unusually heavy, ow-
ing to the fact that practically all the
cotton crop has been gathered and
most of it sold. The farmers there
fore have the money in hand early
thanks to an unusually favorable pick
ing season, and will take advantage
of the first opportunity to pay theil
taxes.

Council.

According to Chief Potter, of the
Hattiesburg Fire Department, the
plant of the standard Oil Company in
this city has refused to comply with
the provisions OF the ordinance re-
Gently passed by the city council reg
ulating the storage of oil and other
explosives within the city limits.
The ordinance in question was passed
by the council at its last regular
meeting, and requires that all per-
sons, firms or corporations storing
oils or other explosives above GER
tain quantity shall either build a re-
tanning wall around the place where
such explosives are stored or that
said explosives shall be stored in q
place not less than $50 feet from any
business house or residence.
The Gulf Refining Company and
the Texas Oil Company have COM
piled with the requirements of the
ordinance" said Chief Potter this
morning, but the Standard Oil Com
pany has refused to do so and says
that it can not. Why it can got,
don't know, but am going to make
fight for the protection of the prop
erty in the vicinity of the company's
tanks. The company has three tanks
here, two of which hold 10000 gal
Ions each and the other $4,000 gal
Ions. If these tanks were to explode
the burning oil would run over much
property in the vicinity and the fire
department would be practically
helpless.

Potter. that representative of the

Tuesday night to explain why the
company can not comply with the
ordinance. I. too, will be thereW try
and explain why the company should

But by far the most important fea-
ture of this sale, for immediate pur-
poses, is the fact that it will prac-
tically relieve the treasury of its
present deficit, and enable the Con-
federate pensioners to get their mon
ey in full by the middle of the pres
ent month, or by Jan. 1st at latest.
1t will require from ten days to two
weeks to get this cotton shipped and
the remittance for it converted into
the treasury At present it is believed
that the deficit includes $250,0OO or
more of pension warrants and at least
$4,000 of others. The cotton remit
tances will stherefore leave short

Jackson, Dec. 2.-The sale yester-
day of 5000 bales Of the states cot
ton, grown on the Sunflower convict
farm and disposed of to the single firm
of Boyce & Co., Of New Orleans for
a round price of Is cents per pound,
means an early addition of approx

which is now something like 100000
short, warrants to that amount out
standing being held by the various
financial institutions of the state,
awaiting the recuperation of the
states funds.
This sale practically cleaned up the
states crop, SO far as cotton that
has been ginned is concerned, al.
though there will be probably 1,20C
bales more when the ginning is fin
ally completed. There are but 2S
bales left at Parchman, where this
sale took place, and very little left
there to be ginned. There will be
about $50 bales at the Belmont place
at Tchula, about 130 at Oakley ant
probably rs at Rankin. Deductint
the 5000 bales sold from the estimate
of Superintendent Neyland of 1900
there should be a total balance o
, 1900 bales, which should leave abou
SEQ for the Sunfiower balance.

SALE OF LIQUOR
GAN Be STOPPED
John Barleycorn Was Said to Be An
Unknown Quantity Here During
Session of Grand Jury.

Tit the fear of the law will ef-
fectually stop the unlawful sale of in
toxicating liquors was demonstrated
in Hattiesburg during the recent ses-
sion of the grand jury, when, it Is
said by those who ought to know,
that not a drop of booze" Of any
description could be obtained here
for love or money.
1t is said that during the two weeks
the grand jury was in session, the
warehouses of all the railroads were
practically loaded to the guards with
consignments of liquor, but that the
consignees were afraid to take the
stuff out, or have it in their posses
sion, so long as the jury was doing
business.
On the other hand, it is said that
as soon as the grand jury had ad
journed, the lid was off," and the
freight warehouses were depleted OF
their accumulated supplies of wet
goods.
Just why the grand jury should be
looked upon with greater degree
of fear than should any other insti
tuition for the enforcement of the
law is question which it is difficult
to answer, but the fact remains tha
such is the case, and is conclusive
/ proof that the unlawful sale of whis
key can be prevented by rigid en-
forcement of the law.
