BULLETIN STORY
PEARL RIVER SHOWS A FALL
OF SIXTEEN INCHES IN
THREE DAYS.
The G. S. G. |. Routes Special Through
to Memphis-The NJ, J. G. X. c.
Still in Trouble at Merrill.

IN. c. o. X written with chalk on
the bulletin board at the passenger
depot of the Mississippi Central told
the whole story in American Eng
lish to the travelling public. 1t was, as
it were, "nuf said" Without having
to read over an official bulletin, and
this document could not have told the
story so completely and satisfactory.
morning was to the effect that the
stream had fallen two inches from
l o'clock p. m. yesterday till Z o'clock
this morning. During the past three
days the Pearl has fallen 16 inches.
While this information is crafty
ing to Gulf and Ship Island officials,
yet it is not definitely known when
trains will cross the bridge over the
Pearl near Florence. While it may
be figured out just how much fall is
needed. No estimate is to be made
as to the effect the falling waters as
they reach the surface of the fill-in
of the approaches to the bridge. But
everything is in readiness to meet any
emergency that may arise from a con-
dition such as this.
The Gulf and Ship Island officials at
least take a hopeful view of general
conditions. since Confederate Veteran
day from Gulfport through to Memphis
coaches have been routed for Mon
day over the Illinois Central without
change of cars by the veterans. This
train is scheduled to leave Hatties-
burg at 1O:3O a. m. Monday, to arrive
in Memphis the same night at S
o'clock.
The condition of the Mobile, Jack
son and Kansas City at Merrill, on the
Pascagoula river shows little improve
ment at present but a continuation
of the prevailing dry weather, it is
thought will relieve the situation rap
idly so that work of putting trains
through to Mobile can be pushed for
ward.
New Orleans and Northeastern
trains, both ways are running on time.

CUT The Wires
TO Send MESSAGE
Result Was That a Train Was Made
Up Which Brought the Wrecked Pas
sengers to Hattiesburg.-No One
Was Hurt.

An accident on the Mississippi Cen
tral last night at about $50 o'clock.
delayed the east-bound passenger sew
eral hours, the passengers getting in
to Hatgesburg at about 8 o'clock this
mornRg.
The east bound train at the time
Of the trouble was skimming along
when the locomotive tender jumped
the track. ran some distance and turn
ed over. The tender was followed by
the baggage car, all Of which except
ing the rear truck left the track.
The passengers were pretty badly
shaken up but none were injured to
speak of.
superintendent Foley. of the Mis-
sissippi Central was on board at the
time of the accident and as soon as
it could be done. Mr.. Foley, so it is
said, had a telegraph wire broken and
with the two ends of the wire and
using the Morese code, he teleg1 a 2leL
to Hattiesburg to have a train made
up and sent to the scene.
The broken wire message it is re-
ported, was received in the Hatties
burg office and a train made up and
backed out to the scene of the acci-
dent. On the arrival of the train the
passengers were transferred and
brought on to Hattiesburg, which point
they reached at about 8 o'clock this
morning.
The credibility Of the broken wire
message story was submitted to the
judgement of telegraph experts and its
credibility established. 1t was said
thatt his method of communicating by
wire was quite common where neces-
sity required it. The added informa-
tion was that the sender of the broken
wire message, by touching the tongue
with one end of the broken wire the
answer from the office could be read
by the electric pulsations on the
tongue.
Another expert overhearing the
story told how a message could be
received by placing both ends of the
broken wires in the ears, thus leaving
both hands free to handle paper or
note book and write down the mes
sage as received. This was a new one
on the other experts, but no one ex-
pressed any doubt about it being done.

AMERICAN FARMERS

MORE THAN 10000 LEFT THE

of Sixty Million Dollars.

WINNIPEG, June 5.-The report of
the immigration department for the

The year closed March 81. The re
port contains statistics for the whole
of the past year showing that immigra-
ton through ocean ports from Europe
an countries decreased 117,0S1 persons

this decline is attributed to restrictive
legislation aimed at undesirable immi-

migration from the United States not
ouly shows an increase. but it breaks

LAKES TO GULF
CHANNEL OPPOSED
BY BOARD OF ARMY ENGINEERS.
EXPENSE NOT JUSTIFIED.
1t Is Said the Report Will Be Unani-
mous-That a Fourteen Foot
Channel Is Not Warranted.

WASHINGTON,June 5.-From the
known attitude of some prominent
army officials the impression has
been gained that the unanimous re-
port of the army board of Engineer 5
on the proposed Mississippi deep
waterway project from st. Louis to
the Gulf Of Mexico, which probably
will be before congress before the
end of next week, takes the general
ground that the commercial interests
of the case do not warrant the ex-
penditure of the vast sums which
would be required to construct tnd
maintain the proposed waterway. No
intimation, however, of the conclusion
of the engineers could be obtained to-
day.
The proposed deep waterway from
st. Louis to the gulf is a part of the
great project to conduct the great
lakes with the gulf by a channel euf-
ficient to accommodate large craft
throughout the year. According to
the explanation adopted by congress
when 1t authorized the survey of the
Mississippi the engineers were to
collect data on the construction of q
channel fourteen feet deep.

WRECK On THE
MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL
VETOEs ANTI-sWEARING BILL.
Sometimes a Man Can't Help It, Wis
consin Governor Says.

MADISON, Wis, June 5.-The in
alienable right of a citizen of Wis
consin to use profanity under suffi-
cient provocation is not to be abro.
gated by the legislature with the con-
sent of Governor Davidson. The Gov
ernor is not a profane man, but,
having lived in the Kickapoo valley
for a quarter of a century, he realizes
that a person may sometimes be so
circumstanced that it is practically
impossible to refrain from indulging
a few suphurous remarks.
Believing as he does, the governor
vetoed the Hull bill prohibiting swear
ing in any public place under pen
atty Of a $25 fine or thirty days in
Jail, or both fine and Imprisonment.
Assemblyman Hull, author of the bill
is disappointed and will try to pass tie
bill over the veto.

BRYAN ISSUES
ANOTHER WARMING
SAYS THAT THE NEXT CONGRESS
MUST HAVE A DEMOCRATIC
MAJORITY.
Warns the People to Know Who Are
the Democratic Traitors and Tells
the Democratic Voters to Begin
Looking for Candidates Now

LINCOLN, Neb., June declaring
the time to be ripe to begin preparing
for the campaign of 1912, William !.
Bryan in the next issue of his Com
moner admonishes Democrats every
where to be on their guard and cast
out of the party those whom he ac-
cuses Of treachery to the party. The
next House of Representatives, Mr..
Bryan says, must be Democratic, and
he continues:
democratic voters, you cannot be-
gin too soon to select candidates for
congress. In about a year the cam
paign will be on, and upon that cam
paign will largely depend the hope
of the party in 1912. let those Demo-
Gratis who believe in pure and unde-
filed Democracy get together in each
district and pick out a Democrat who
can not be bought or frightened The
trusts have stealthily secured control
of some of the congressman, who were
elected as Democrats, and they will
have the influence of the trusts in Sc
curing denomination.
THE trusts can very well afford
to put up the campaign funds if they
can control the congressman after
election. The steel trust, for instance,
could put $1,000,0O0 into the congress
sional campaign without missing it
(and it is only one of many trusts
and S1,000,000 would supply one hun
dred candidates with $4,000 apiece,
or (two hundred candidates with S5,-
900 apiece. When you see that a con-
gressional candidate has money to
spend, find out where he is getting it,
Take it for granted that he cannot get
money from a predatory corporation
without a promise, expressly implied,
and that he will pay the corporation
back out of the pockets of the people
We can better afford to have Repub-
licans in congress than Republican,
Democrats"
Singing out those Democrats who
voted for a duty on lumber Mr.. Bryan
thus attacks them: The Democrats
who voted against free lumber have:
voted to repudiate the national
platform of the Democratic party;
voted to encourage the destruc-
ton Of our forests;
Voted to raise the price of one of
the chief necessaries of life;
voted to tax a material that enters
into a multitude of industries and
thus to place an unnecessary burden
upon these industries;
Voted to tax the people of the
whole country for the benefit of a
comparatively few owners of timber
lands, and,
voted to tax a majority of their
own constituents for the benefit of a
minority of those constituents"

IN 1910 WILL SHOW
UP HIGH IN THE LIST
The Tax Assessments of the City of
Hattiesburg of 1909 On Buildings
and Machinery Ahead of What Me-
rdan Was in 1900.

A stray copy of the Statistics of
Manufactures" of the census of 1900,
which had gone to the junk heap,
casually examined, shows some inter-
esting facts so far as the county of
Forrest and the City Of Hattiesburg
are concerned.
In the year 1900 the county of For
rest was not known, Forrest county
was then composed of thirteen town
ships, or 46S square miles and then
part of Perry county. As to the City
of Hattiesburg, is was not known to
the census enumerators who gathered
statistics of manufacturers in cities
and towns under 10000 in population,
in the state of Mississippi.
In that year of 1900 the towns and
cities in Mississippi under 10000 pop
ulation which furnished manufactur.
ing statistics were eleven in number
These were Aberdeen, Biloxi, Colum-
bus, Corinth. Handsboro, Jackson,
Meridian, Natchez, Scranton, Vicks-
burg and West Point.
The total capital invested in man.
ufacturng in these eleven towns was
5000, $50 of which $1,265,574 was in
vested in buildings and $3,052 ,936 in
machinery. the establishments employ.
ing $3.50, to whom was paid S2,1S5,373
in wages.
OF the eleven towns and cities, Me
ridian lead the list with an invested
capital of 1928, 500, with S27S,229 in
vested in buildings and SS49.SS9 in
machinery, employing 1416 people. and
produced total products valued at 81
9S0.217.
Just to show by the 1900 statistics
where Hattiesburg stood, then un-
known to the manufacturing gatherer
of statistics the entire county Of Per-
ry in 1900 was credited with S9S9.922
invested in manufacturing establish
ments employing S42 wage earners.
The year 1909 will show one manu-
featuring establishment credited to
Hattiesburg with more capital
invested than was shown by the en-
tire county of Perry of which Forrest
county was a part, in the year 1909
and employing about as many wage
earners as were employed in Perry
county in 1900.
While the exact figures are not OBJ
tainable, it is learned that the amount
invested in buildings and machinery
in Hattiesburg in 1909 will exceed the
figures reported for Meridian in 1900.
These comparisons have been made
not for invidious distinction but Just
to show the great change that has
been made in nine years in the growth
of Hattiesburg and of Forrest county
which the area of which is made up OF
46S square miles or less than one-hali
of the 1110 square miles which was
the area of Perry county before the
county of Forrest was sliced off.

well known in the figures of 1910 an,

that the request made through Ameri-
can diplomatic and consular repre-
sentatives in Germany for facts re-
lating to the wage scale in the vari-
GUS industries in Germany was sent
abroad before the hearings on the
tariff bill were begun. Nevertheless
it is shown that the desired infor-
nation was not gathered by German
chambers of commerce and manufac-
turers until after the hearings given
by the Committee had been published,
and that the German manufacturers
made their replies directly to state
ments made by Americans to the
Ways and Means Committee instead
ol supplying i.cts concerning the
wage scale.

TEXAS AND PACIFIC STRIKE.

DALLAS, Tex, June 5.-The Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen have positively and definite
ly refused to sign the agreement ex-
tended by the Texas and Pacific and
General Manager Thorne has firmly
pointed out that it is up to the fire
men to take or reject the contract
as he has said the last word. The
firemen have found in the contract
a new grievance. They desire a
clause specifying that the manage
ment of the road must promote fire
men to engines as rapidly as va
cancies occur. Mr.. Thorne has re-
iected the demand, stating it TO be
his policy to promote, but that he
will not be bound to it by any rule.
The Texas and Pacific has never
pursued a policy of promotion, and
their engineers in consequence are
generally members of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, with
few promoted members of the Broth
terhood of Locomotive Firemen
among them.
Tim Shea, First Vice President Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, still asserts that there is no
prospect of a strike. and that he is
hopeful Of settlement before many
days.
