Kansas City, Nov. 23.-Representa-

Democratic members of congress, and
his grandson, Waddie, aged six, were
burned to death in a fire that de-
stroyed the DeArmond home at Butler
early to-day. The other members Of
the family escaped injury.
Neither the body of Congressman
DeArmond nor that of his grandson
has been recovered, and it is believed
they were ,incinerated. Bones believed
to be those of the congressman were
found.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
The house was two stories high and
burned fiercely.

Rush Orders.

The departure of the marines comes
as a result of rush orders. 1t had been
intended to send the marines to Pan
anna to relieve $50 marines there. The
date of departure had been set for
Dec. 8, by which time the troopship
Prairie would have been ready to sail.
In event Of necessity the $50 ma
rines now on the canal zone could bo
utilized in Nicaragua in addition to
the 400 to be taken south by the Prai-

CIRCUIT court
STILL GRINDING
voted to Hearing of Unimportant
Appeal Cases.

During the remainder of the week,
the time of the circuit court will be
taken up with the hearing of
minor cases, most of which were
appealed from the city court and the
various Justice courts of the county,
a majority of them, it is said, peing
prosecutions for unlawful retailing.
Yesterday, as anticipated by The
News, the case of the State against
Isiah Brown. charged with the muir
der of the Seal woman, was compro-
missed, the defendant being allowed
to plead guilty to the Indictment and
accept a sentence of life imp, .son-
ment in the penitentiary.
TIL case of Mrs. Minnie Crosby, for
the murder of J. R.. McShan, viii not
be called at this term of court, on
account of the delicate state of the
young woman's health, which at this
time is said to be critical 1t is
thought very probable that this case
will be thrown out of court, as it il
improbable that a conviction could
not be secured since Crosby has beer
acquitted of the same charge, and the
long trial would put the State to un
necessary expense.

Working Against Odds.

The heart-rending anguish of the
situation was accentuated yesterday
by the weather. Rain fell and finally
turned to snow. Scarcely a kinsman Of
the missing was at the scene at any
time. But efforts to explore under
ground continued with unabated Wig
or. Dozens of volunteers worked
against the most exasperating odds to
extend the limit of their explorations.
Earth and coal were removed only to
be followed by other avalanches from
the crumbling passages, but each
check was met with a desperate re-
turn to the attack
The work of taking out the bodies
continued until twenty-three had been
carried from the shaft to the tempo
rary morgue.

fare for the round trip being only 81.
and every student who is able to rake
up the price will be here. Mississippi

furnish their quota.
By reason of the fact that the teams
are more evenly matched than for sew

pected, and herein enters an added

Donaqhey Will Help.

+ Governor Noel has conferred with
Governor Donaghey of Arkansas, who
Is cooperating with him in the mat
ter, and it is believed that similar
cooperation will be secured from the
Governor of Loisiana. At any rate,
the Mississippi Legislature will
doubtless enact the law proposed by
Governor Noel, and, if a similar
measure is placed on the Louisiana
saloon, located just across the Pazoo
canal from Vicksburg, and which has
been transacting thriving business
since the statutory prohibition law
went into effect.
1t is also stated on good authority
that Governor Noel intends to submit
a recommendation for the enactment
of a statute prohibiting Mississippi
newspapers from printing whiskey ad
yertisements. The Alabama Legisla
ture tried to enact similar law al
its last session, but, in the opinion Of
a majority of the members of thai
body. such a law would be promptly
[Ueclared in violation of the Fedora
jpnstit&tion.

FROM HATTIESBURG
TO PASCAGIULA
Vessel viii Be Equipped to Take Care
Of Freight Between These Two Cit
les and Doubtless Will Be Literally
Patronzed.

AS an evidence of the practicability
of the dredging and opening to navi
cation between Hattiesburg and Pas
cagoula of Leaf river, and the faith
of local capitalists and business men
in the project from business point
of view, Mr. w. c. Bennett, of this
city, has informed Secretary Bixler,
of the Commercial Club, that as soon
as the river is made navigable he will
have ready to launch vessel which
will be amply capacitated to handle
both freight and passenger traffic be-
tween Hattiesburg and Pascagoula
and intermediate points.
This is one of the most important
announcements which has as yet ben
made in connection with this matter,
and will ultimately result in the saw
ing to Hattiesburg merchants of
| thousands of dollars annually in
freight bills, and may serve to accom-
plish the ends for which the Com
mercial Club has for many months
been striving, that of an just and
equitable freight rate on railways en-.
tering this city.

BIG Crowd Expected.

E The various railway lines entering
Jackson have perfected arrangements
for extra equipment on all incoming
and outgoing trains on Thursday to
handle the crowd of 5000 or more Wis
itors expected at the game. Locally,
the interest is growing keener with
each passing hour, and the assembly
will doubtless tax the capacity of the
grand stand and race track area at the
Fair grounds. Thanksgiving dinners
will be either postponed or pulled off
at an early hour in order to permit
everybody to get to the game before
three p. m.
1t is understood that the University
team manager will insist on 35-minute
halves, which is significant in view OF
the fact that the 'Ole Miss" team is
somewhat heavier than the A. & NJ
eleven, and Coach Stauffer probably
expects to wear out the farmer boys
from Starkville, if victory can be
achieved in no other manner.
The oxford eleven is the ruling fav
orite in Jackson. but this is due in 6
measure to the fact that the universi
ty has a strong alumni association
here, which is controlling factor il
public sentiment.

Jackson, Nov. 23.-Gulfport will
submit proposition for split gate re-
ceipts when the meeting is held here
next Saturday to reorganize the Cot
ton States League, and present indi-.
cations are that it will be rejected.
The Gulfport supporters of the
game are apparently unwilling to take
part in the reorganization unless this
proposition is adopted, which porba-
bly, means that Gulfport will not get
franchise, as it will be hard to con-
vince representatives from other
towns wherein there is any equity in
the proposition.
During the 1908 season teams on
the road played under a $50 guaran-
tee, and this worked in a fairly salts
factory manner, the guarantee being
sufficient to defray the expenses of
a team on the road providing it was
economically managed.
The suggestion that the salary
limit be placed at $1.250 instead oi
$3.50, as heretofore, and to reduce
the player limit to twelve men, includ
ing the manager, seems to be meeting
with favor. This will be in the nature
of real economy, whereas the PROPOSE
