GOVERNMENT REWARD
OF $4,000 OFFERED
Gives His Name As Amos Lindsay and
Was Arrested For Gambling. But
Description TalIfes Exactly With
That Of Kansas City Coon.

Charles Savage, alias Charles Stew
ems, train robber, is believed TO be an
inmate Of the Hattiesburg Jail.
The negro was arrested Saturday
afternoon by Officers Cooper and Nor.
wood, members of the police force,
on charge OF gambling. He gave his
name as Amos Lindsey, but circular
issued by w. J. vickory, inspector in
charge of the government detective
depart at Kansas City, indicates that
he is none other than Charles Savage.
alias Charles Stevens, who was re-
leased from prison on McNeils Island
last July and who soon afterward re-
turned to his old practice of robbing
mail pouches and escaped from the
custody of officers at Kansas City.
The circular issued by Inspector
vickory contains the photograph of
the negro, with the following descrip-
tion: Age 81, height feet ten
inches, weight ITO. vac mark and cut
scar 2x3 ON corner of right eyebrow,
cut scar 16 inches above elbow, en-
larged joint on right wrist. scar 2x3
on forehead"
For the capture of the fugitive the
government offers reward Of 81, 900,
and 1t is believed that the man in the
Hattiesburg jail is the right negro.
He tallies with the photograph and the
description and is a shrewd, educated
coon.
Postoffice Inspector Knight, of Cat.
tanooga, was here yesterday to take a
look at the prisoner and believes that
he is the man wanted. He has taken
the matter up with Inspector vickory
by wire and 1t is expected that the
matter will be definitely decided to-
day, when Lindsay, alias Savage, alias
Stevens, will be taken to Kansas City
for final identification.

ROWLAND DEMANDS
CUSTODY OF FUNDS
vardaman Says That Money win not
Be Turned over Until Contract is
Awarded to a Mississippi Concern.
Further Trouble Expected.

jackson, Miss. February. 1.-The
disagreement between Governor Noers
administration and Ex-Governor Yard
aman over the selection of the silver
service for the battleship Mississippi
was embittered this morning, when
the battleship commission adopted
resolutions demanding that Ex-Gov-
ernor Vardaman turn over to the com.
mission the sum OF $1,704 collected
for the silver service during his ad.
ministration, and that the attorney
general be asked for legal opinion as
to the proper custodian of said fund.
immediately after the action Ex-
Governor vardaman gave out an inter
view declaring that he. intended to
keep the money in his possession until
the silver service is delivered, and
intimating that members of the com.
mission are trying to land the con-
tract for a Philadelphia concern in
the face af the fact that Mississippi
concern has submitted a lower and
better bid.
Only the timely interference of Gov
Noel and Superintendent Of Education
Powers prevented personal conflict
between Ex-Governor vardaman sud
DIR. Dunbar Rowland. when the latter
introduced his resolution demandinr
that Gov. vardaman turn over the
funds In his hands. The two men
we're on the verge of blows when
Governor Noel stepped between them
and said this is neither the time
nor the place for a personal Difficulty
and you must desist."
Much bitterness between all the Of
hcials who are members OF the COM
mission has been aroused, and 1t is
feared that further trouble will en-
sue.
