SANGER RELIES ON
 NATURES WEAPONS
Police Board on Point of Calling Sergeant
 For Supposed Negligence.
Commissioners Believed He Was Unarm. ed When He Engaged in ScuffIe - he Says He Had Weapons But Did Not Need Them.

Sergeant Carrie Sanger came within an ace of being called. to account by the commissioners last night for his supposed failure to have his billy or gun with him Saturday night when he had a tussle with a disturber of the peace at Golden Hill and Main streets. Commissioner Hurley brought up the matter. recommending that steps be taken to learn some of the people who were in the crowd at the time and ar rest them for not doing their duty by refusing to assist the sergeant
 Commissioner Coughlin looked at the matter from different point of view and said in his opinion no officer who went without his gun or billy should expect any consideration at the hands or the board He said a patrolman was on duty 24 hours a day and ought always to be armed for business. He said further that the rules required a and he should carry his billy always. according to the idea of Commissioner Coughlin
 Commissioner Hurley was for having the president speak to Sergeant San ger privately about the matter. but op- posed having any publicity given the reouke- Commissioner Hurley insisted that the president remind the men to- night about always being properly armed, but when the president asked for a motion Commissioner Coughlin responded Move we adjourn" This was done and the matter remained un- settled
 Today Sergeant Sanger said he had both his billy and gun at the time of the trouble. but he did not feel called upon to use other than natures weap- ons to subdue his prisoner

DO you PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS

DO you PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
The News has had much to say in
the past few days about paying sub
scriptions. We have not meant to
take anybody to task who pays with
reasonable promptness and there are
many of Ctr subscribers who do not
need any such notices; but there are
many people who seem to think that
it is not important to pay their sub
scription and that it is but a small
loss to the paper if they move away
and leave four or five months unpaid
subscription. Then there are those
who think it is all right TO make
some kind of deal with the carrier
so that they do not have to pay full
price for the paper and better yet get
1t for nothing if they can. The
present management of the Hatties-
burg News is trying to make the
paper pay. Both the News and the
Progress lost thousands of dollars and
much of it was due to the money lost
on subscriptions. PLEASE REMEM-
Der THAT THE PRICE CHARGED
FOR SUBSCRIPTION IS BASED ON
THE COST OF PRODUCTION. You
have no more right to expect copy
of the News for nothing than you have
to go to the grocery and get pound

GRAND JURY
INDICTS priest
Thirty-one True Bills Found Against
Rev. John Holtgrave at Plaque
mine, Louisiana.

NEW ORLEANS, August 4.-Thirty
one indictments against the Rev. John
]. Holtgrave, pastor of the Catholic
church at Plaquemine, La, were re
turned by the grand jury of Ibervllie
parish this afternoon. Twenty-eight
of the indictments charge crime
against nature and the other three
allege criminal libel.
Following the return of the indict
ments the New Orleans police were
requested to arrest Father Holtgrave
and hold him for the Iberville author.
tiles. Father Holtgrave recently
came to New Orleans from Plaque
mine. He said that he was being per-
secuted in that town as a result of
several articles which he wrote al
ieging corruption among the paro-
chial officials. 1t was stated that he
would remain in New Orleans until
the return from Rome of Archbishop
Blenk and would then ask for another
assignment. Three of the indict-
ments returned against the priest to-
day charge that he libeled Philip
Gilbert the district attorney at Napo.
leonville, La. The other indictments
allege improper relations with several
small boys in the parish. Father
Holtgrave published a statement sever
weeks ago saying that his political
enemies had trumped up a number of
charges against him, and had threat
ened to press them. He published q
small paper at Plaquemine, and as a
result of several allegations which
he made against various officials he,
was arraigned in court and a small
fine was imposed.
Father Holtgrave said the fine was
an unjust one and refused to pay it.
About the same time he left Plaque
mine and took up his abode in New Or
leans. The Iberville grand jury also
passed resolutions today condemning
the publication yesterday Of a story
in a New Orleans paper which said
that a meeting of the grand jury had
been called for the sole purpose of
indicting the prest.

IGNORANCE AND FALSE MopEsrS

A campaign, world wide In extent
10 being wased against the ignorance
of self and son Ignorance Is vice"
and to destroy vice knowledge must
be substituted for the gigantic and
appalling ignorance Of the most ina
portant Of all subjects. This move
ment Is being lead by the American
Medical Association, the W. c. T. u.
many other organizations. and by the
best magazines of the world, fore
most among which is the Ladies'
Home Journal.
In Hattiesburg it has the hearty
support of the physicians, pastors and
mo,hers' Congress. -'alse modesty
along this line is a thing of the past
among the most refined people.
Health, happiness and long life
cannot be had by one stumbling alone
in the dark. Every one has a right
to know. Two hundred and fifty of
the best people of Hattiesburg have
given their support ITO this move

AMERICANS STARVED
BY MEXICAN REBELS
MINING ENGINEER AND FRIENDS
WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER ].
FOR THREE DAYS.

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 11.--F'irst reports
from the Mexican revolution at San
Carlos. Chihuahua, that foreigners
were not molested were untrue accord
ing to the story OF John Num-, an
American mining engineer, who
reached the chisos mine In Texas yes
terday.
A dispatch from Marathon states
that Num- arrived emaciated and al
most starved with a story Of suffering
at the hands Of the Mexicans, who de-
posed the town officials and set up a
small republic until compromise was
effected with the state officials.
Num- says he was placed in prison
with two American companions with
out food or water. They escaped aft
er three days by overpowering u
drunken guard and made their way
across the desert toward the Rio
Grande, with nothing to eat and a
small bottle Of water apiece. This was
soon exhausted and the men separated.
Num- was almost delirious and does
not know IL the other men perished
or found aid at some Mexican ranch
house. He pushed on till he got to
food from the miners at Chisos. He
is coming to FL Paso to make COM
plaint about his treatment to the

sPANIARp AND MOOR.

The Atlanta Georgian, commenting
on the situation in Spain. says:
The Barcelona insurrection seems to
have been quelled. For the time being,
at least, the volcanic cauldron which
has threatened to overthrow the exist
ing order of things in Spain has sub
sided, and King Alfonso can now
breathe a sigh of relief.
But the young monarch is by no
means beyond the zone Of danger.
Personally he is not unpopular. The
delicate lad is rather liked. But he Is
suffering to some extent from the dis
soIute habits Of his predecessors in
office, who years ago planted the drag
on's teeth.
Louis the Sixteenth of France was
also in many respects an attractive
sovereign, IL somewhat of a glutton.
But he reaped the bloody harvest which
was sown by his ancestors, Only a
spark was needed to ignite the maya
zine of powder. He furnished the
match, and off few his head. The
Bourbon dynasty went down in the
crimson pools Of the French revolution.
AlfOnso's government may not be
doomed, but Spain lacks much of being
in a condition of stable equilibrium.
Widespread dissatisfaction exists
against the Moroccan war. The spirit
of revolt is by no means confined to the
Galatians of Barcelona, who are more
French than Spanish. 1t exists in all
parts of the kingdom. Spanish mothers
are deeply stirred. They have for years
been bearing sons, only to see them
sacrificed on foreign soils to the savage
war god. The demand upon the ma
ternal affections in the name OF pa
triotism has become too great. More
over, the well-informed masses know
we'll enough that the military opera
tions in Morocco have been undertaken
in the interest of Spanish capitalists
who own mines south Of Melilla; and
this fact alone is sufficient to arouse
the protest of an impoverished popula-
ton.
But there is still another cloud to be
seen on the horizon.
According to recent reports, the fan
aticaI leaders of the Moslems in Nor
occo are preaching holy war; and in
the event the fires spread, the whole
northern coast Of Africa, including AL
geria and Tunis, may be drawn into
the fight.
Spain is in no condition to invite
such menace or to meet such foe.
And this may prove the eventful mo-
ment OF which the Moor has long
dreamed.
Hundreds Of years have elapsed since
the dark skinned Arabs looked for the
last time upon the broken arches of
the old Alhambra.
But the catalogue OF woes which
eliminated in the downfall OF Grenada
is still fresh in the memory Of the
Moors; and from the distant shores OF
Africa they have never ceased to look
with tear -dimmed eyes to the far-off
lands which they once possessed be-
yond the Mediterranean. .
At one time the Moors were great
and powerful. They crossed into Spain
in the earlier centuries when Moham-
mechanism was in the ascendant. They
drove the Spaniards into the mountains
Of Asturia; and, crossing the Pyrenees.
they encountered the hosts OF Christen-
dom under Charles Martel on the fam
Gus field of Tours. The issue was join
ed between the cross and the crescent,
and Europe was the prize of battle.

OPERATION RESTORES CROW.
Prize Rooster Receivers Voice and Is
Still Practicing.

Skfh
New York, Aug. 11.--F'rank Rue Of
Cedar Grove. N j., the home of poul-
try, and George Henry Smith, own a
rooster named Bismarck. Bismarck
was Matched i'm March, 1908, and grew
into such a handsome bird that not
long ago he took first prize at the
Verona poultry show and he did not
crow over the honor. In fact, he never
crowed at all. He did not know how.
A perfect rooster in every other re-
spect he was crowless.
When he wished to express jubilation
he did 1t by Tapping his wings. But
the hens looked askance at Bismarck
and would not associate with him. He
became melancholy because OF his en-
forced loneliness. So Mr.. Rue called in
DR. Phineas Bridge of Montclair, Fri
day, to look Bismarck over.
DIR, Bridge felt Bismarcks pulse and
looked into his throat. Then the doctor
took a scapel and made little incision
at the root of Bismarck's tongue. Bis
marck recovered rapidly and early Sat-
urday morning he let out his first
crow. 1t tickled him so that he con-
tinued to crow all day Saturday, all
Saturday night and all day Sunday,
and as the shades OF evening fell he
was still at 1t, much to the disgust
Of all the other roosters In the neigh
borhood.

Washington, Aug. Ii. Details
whereby American bankers are to have

The principle OF American particle

Is laid by the government interested.
America would like 10 have one OF her

the lines of railway to be constructed
and so would, no doubt, the European
nations be glad to name man for
such an important position. The In
