of eight men. three women and fifteen
children, who moved to Hawkins last fall.
They settled on good land, but disastrous
fires wrought havoc. Further, it is said,
they knew little of local farming condl-

hay which they intended to sell, as well
as wood, but this was all destroyed. The
colony is now making charcoal. but there
is said to be little demand for it.

and Roads VIII Better Delivery.
A general revision of the rural mail
delivery route of Manitowoc County is
probable as the result of a petition
which has been forwarded to Washing
ton by local postal officials. The revision
is desired because of recent additions to
the railway mail service in the city and
the fact that Manitowoc County roads,
which at the time the system was laid
out were deemed unstable and unsatisfac-
tory for the service, have been improved
so that they may now be used.

STAND PATTERS
GETTING SCARED
THE FINAL VOTE IN THE HOUSE
is WHAT is WORRYING
THEM.
Conference Committee Will Be Fixed
So That There Will Not Be
Much Trouble.

WASHINGTON, May 10-The stnd-
patters are somewhat concerned over
reports coming to them that the Re-
publican membership of the house is
restless under what may be called the
back fire" en- the tariff. The House
membership of the conference commit
tee will be a body of men on which
the high protectionists can depend,
for with the exception of Representa-
tive Mccall, of Massachusetts, there
will not be a downward revisionist
on the committee. 1t is to the final
vote in the House-the vote on con-
curing in a conference committee
bill-that the stand-patters are look
ing with some anxiety. Republican
representatives who went home after
the Payne bill had passed the House
are returning to town much distressed
over the situation. Some of them
are threatened with defeat for re-
nomination if they support the Aldrich
program. So far no organized effort
to pledge Republican votes against
such a bill as the Senate is demand
ing has been made, but there are
plenty of manifestations indicative of
such an effort in the near future.

SHARP ATTACK ON
NEWBERRY ORDERS
Called Attempted Reform Utterly Un-
American and Only Matched in
Absolute Monarchies-Every Officer
Should Not Be an Engineer.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Secretary
of the Navy Meyer said today that he
would take cognizance OF the remark
made recently by Rear Admiral
George w. Melville at the meeting OF
the American Society of Engineers, in
which the retired officer made a saw
age attack on the recently adopted
reforms in the navy. Admiral Mel
ville's assault upon the NeWDerry re-
organization plan is the boldest stroke
yet that has been leveled against it,
and quite eclipses the secret and con-
fidential" circular sent out recently
by the line officers at the League
Island Navy Yard. Secretary Meyer
said this morning that he had been
so busy he had not found time to go
carefully over Admiral Melville's
speech. He said he would take it up
later. Little doubt is felt among Of
ficers here that Admiral Melville will
be called to account for his caustic
criticisms, which reflected personally
on former Secretary Newberry. Under
the old administration of the depart
ment such an attack would have
brought immediate censure. Just
what action is taken in this case will
x~f
criticism to be shown by the present
administration.
ut is so marvellous as to be beyond
belief, that in this age of specializa-
tion a movement so absolutely counter
to the spirit of the age as the abol-
ishment of the separate departments
in the navy yards and their consoli-
dation under one officer should take

and based solely on petitions present
ed by friends of the prisoners seeking
clemency.
For the year 190S( commencing on
January 20 and ending December
81, GOV. Noel granted ffty-four par
dons, not including those issued at the
suggestion or upon the recommends
ton of the prison board. This forms ID
grand total of eighty-four pardons
within a period of less than sixteen
months.
The governor exercised the pardon
ing power rather sparingly during the
months of January and February of
the current year, only one convict
having been pardoned within that pc
riod. He grew quite liberal during
the month of March, however, and
commenced turning them loose lii
patches, the official record being as
follows:
John Candy, Jones county grand
larceny, three years.
Ella Scales, Coahoma county, man
slaughter, five years.
Louis Cauley, Jackson county, grand
larceny, six years.
Rufus Beach, Franklin county, grand
larceny, one year.
Frank Morris, Perry county, escap-
ing from officer, one year.
Arthur Miller, Chickasaw county
grand larceny, five years.
Ed Graham, Chickasaw county,
grand larceny, five years.
Peter Ratliff, Lamar county, assault
and battery, seven years.
George Pegues, Lafayette county,
manslaughter, ten years.
Arch Sherrodd, Chickasaw county,
grand larceny, five years.
Sam Tolbert, Monroe county, man
slaughter, rs years.
Sam Franklin, DeSoto county, at
tempt to poison fifty years.
Anthony Hawkins, Yazoo county,
manslauehter, ten years.
George Purnell, Carroll county, MUIR
der, life.
Flavius Bell, Pamela county, assault

IN
manslaughter, ten years.
The Governors pardon record n
April was as follows, according to the
prison register:
Rufus Trussell, Lauderdale county,
manslaughter, ten years.
William Bentley, Sunflower county
manslaughter, forty years.
William White, Monroe county, at
tempt to commit rape, ten years.
Gid Murphy, Pontotoc county, man
ty, murder, life.
Halle Johnson. rallahatchie coun
slaughter, ten years.
The prison month ends on the 25th
and since the last monthly report wa:
compiled the number of pardons is
sued brings the total up to thirty sine
the first of January. If this average
is maintained by the Governor for thu
remainder of the year his 1908 recort
will be put very much in eclipse. Sine
January 1 the Governor has also re
spited three death sentences that ha
been affirmed by the supreme court.

HEPBURN UPHOLDS
The PRESENT Law
SAYS CONGRESS SHOULD GO
SLOW IN MAKING ANY
CHANGES.
Thinks That the Act Is About What
the Law Makers Intended 1t
Should Be.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Former
Representative w. F. Hepburn, of
Iowa, once chairman of the House
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, believes that Congress will
be slow to change the interstate COM
merce law in such fashion as to give
the administrative functions now eX-
ercised by the commission to some
other department of the government
Hepburns name is attached to the rate
law, and no man in Washington is
more familiar with the legislation re-
lating to trade between states.
Just now the administration is Civ
ing a good deal of attention to the
question of amending the law, and one
plan which the President is seriously
considering is to turn over to the de-
partment of commerce and labor the
administrative functions of the COM
mission, leaving that body only quasi
judicial duties.
None of the plans which have been
called to my attention is entirely salts
factory" said Colonel Hepburn 81
can see that serious trouble might
arise if the administrative duties of
the commission were turned over to
another body. Something will have
to be done to remedy the present sit
uation. The commission is today
months behind in it's work. In my
opinion it should be enlarged. I
think that plan should be tried first"
Colonel Hepburn believes that the
law as it stands today is in most re-
spects strong enough to guard the in
terests of shippers. What it-needs is
enforcement, and he believes that if
the body was enlarged, say to nine
members. it might be enabled to catch
up with its work. Particularly does
he doubt the wisdom of converting
it into a court.
81 have always contended.' said he
that the commission should be kept
as far as possible from the idea that
it is a court. 1t should be primarily
what its name indicates 1t is-a com
mission. It's duties should be in the
main administrative. At times it mas
to hear and decide cases, of course"
He takes the view that to have the
administrative and the quasi-judicia1
functions separated, with one body adj
ministering and the other passing
judgment, might lead to confusion
to working at cross-purposes and tc
a weakening of government regula
ton.
Touching on the recent supreme
court decision in the committee case
Colonel Hepburn said he thought the
Interpretation was just about what
Congress expected when the law was
passed, He thinks it was not the in
tention of Congress to extend the pro
hibition of Congress to extend the
prohibition against railroads carrying
coal or the coal of corporations in
which they had stock interest. Conse-
quently he thinks Congress will be
slow to enact anything in the nature
of the amendments just introduced in
the Senate and House extending pro
hibition of the commodities clause.
