not Serve Cause Of Honest and
Decency In American Politics.
(By Associated Press.)

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept 7.-When
Colonel Roosevelt reached Milwaukee
this morning, Emil Seidel, the Social
list mayor, was conspicuous by his
absence. The mayor refused to serve
on the reception committee and gave
out a statement, saying:
"If Mr. Roosevelt holds the same
ideas which he expressed in an ar
ticle published in 1909, it is clear that
he cannot serve the cause of honesty
and decency in American political
life. Mr.. Roosevelt called Socialism
a thing which is against morals and
religion and declared it to be abhor-
ent and revolving. He also said it
would replace the family and home
life with free lunch counters and
founding asylums."

Hops CROP IS short;
-SAUER KRAUT SCARE
(By Union Associated Press.)

Cincinnati, Sept mot since the
year of the great freeze which de-
stroyed all the hop trees has there
been such grief in Cincinnati. Ohio
is the center of the nations sauer
kraut industry, and news from many
sections of the state indicates that
the 1910 crop will be very short and
of poor quality. Kraut makers fear
that the supply will not come near
the demand, and unusually high
prices will probably be charged.
There have been rumors recently
of a stiff raise in the price of beer,
and the reports from Germany say
that the limburger cheese is strong
as to price-and likely to become
stronger. The sauer kraut shortage,
coming on top of the other threatened
calamities, will make the high cost
of living" a live issue to the German
population.

(By Associated PreSS.)

New Orleans, Sept. 7.-Reports re-
ceived up to II o'clock today practi-
cally removes all doubt as to the re-
turn to congress of Representatives
Jos. E. Ransdell of the Fifth District,
John T. Watkins, of the Fourth, and
A. P. Pujo, of the Seventh. These
were the only representatives who had
opposition in yesterdays Democratic
primary.
There is still much doubt as to the
successful candidate in the contest
for justice of the supreme court. A.
D. Land, the incumbent, was opposed
by Luther E. Hall, and Mr.. Halls
friends today claim that returns re-
ceived shortly before noon leave no
doubt as to the success of their candi-
date This is disputed by the friends
of Justice Land, who are still conf
dent that the complete returns will
show that Justice Land has retained
his seat on the supreme bench.

COLORADO DEMOCRATS

Denver, Colo, Sept. with prom
ises of spirited fight for control be-
tween the Speer-Hughes and Patter-

state Democratic convention was
opened in Denver today. Former
United States Senator Patterson,
owner of the Denver News, and for

to overthrow the present party lead

Failure of the party to carry out
its platform pledges is alleged by Pat,

this failure is due to the power and

If permitted, so that in reality the en-

In opening the hearing, Judge G. N.
Brown, the chief examineI' for the
commission, pointed out that the bur-
den of proof Of the reasonableness of
the increased tariff of freight rates
rested on the railroads, pursuant to
the amendment to the act to regulate
interstate commerce, passed June 1S,
1910, and not on the shippers or the
United States government, as former
ly.
The new rate tariff has been sus-

TRUSTEES were here
and EXAMINED SITES
Reception and Informal Dinner at Ho-
tel Hattiesburg-Prof. WoodIey
Delivered Address Of Welcome And
Trustees Responded.

The trustees of the Mississippi State
Normal School came and saw. 1t re-
mains only to be seen whether Hat
tiesburg conquered, and those closely
in touch with the situation are san
guine over the prospects. Certain it
is that the day was a delightful one
to all concerned. From the time the
trustees reached the city until late
hour last night they were shown every
attention that the length of their WIS.,
it would permit, and it is to be hoped
that they saw enough of Hattiesburg
to convince them that this city is the
logical point for the great institution
whose destinies are placed in their
hands.
All during the day, except at the
lunch hour, the trustees were convey
ed in automobiles all over the city and
through much of the surrounding coun-
try, and the impression made upon
them was most favorable. Without
exception they were notably surprised
at the remarkable growth in busi-
ness and residence district which this
city has undergone within the past
few years, and scarcely less surprised
at the condition and number of pros
perous-looking farms located in this
immediate vicinity. Some of the gen.
tlemen had never been here before.
Others had not seen the town for sew
eral years. All were delighted
charmed almost at what they saw.

RATE HEARING
RESUMED TODAY
interstate Commerce Commission is
Hearing Case Involving Railroads
East of the Mississippi.

New York, Sept. Hearing in the
fight for and against the raising OF
freight rates in the territory East of
the Mississippi and North of the Ohio
rivers was resumed today before
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
At the preliminary hearing last month
counsel for the railroads pleaded for
a delay, promising that this would af-
ford them opportunity to prepare their
evidence in such a manner as to as
sure an expeditions hearing. 1t is ex-
1z<,sd that the hearing will now pro-
ceed rapidly.
The increase of rates as demanded
by the transportation companies will
involve an additional cost to the ship
pers of the territory involved of about
$40 900 600 a year. AS this tremen-
dous total. if the increase is granted,
must eventually be paid by the con-
sumer, the entire population OF the
states north of Kentucky and East OF
Missouri and Iowa will be affected by
the decision of the commission. Simi-
lar Increases will also be put into ef-
feet by Western and Southern roads,

LIEUT.. BAKER, old
SOLDIER, SUICIDES
Was Gallant Member of Ross Texas
5risade.-once Ran Baker House
At Lexington, Miss.

Lexington, Miss, Sept. 7.-Lieuten-
ant R. H. Baker of this place, commit
ted suicide Monday morning by shoot
ing himself through the head with a
41-calibre revolver, at the home of his
daughter Mrs. P. D. Holcomb.
Long suffering and despondency
brought about thereby, had unsettled
his mind. He was seventy-three years
of age. He was born near Burkes-
vile, KY, and served in Ross Texas
Brigade throughout the civil war and
was mustered out as a liettenant.
For some twenty-five years he was
proprietor Of the Baker House, which
was the only hotel in Lexington for
much Of the time, and there grew into
very wide acquaintance. He is sur
vived by wife, two daughters and a
son.
His comrades state that he was a
most gallant soldier and he rendered
excellent service during the trying re-
| construction times. Regard for the
man and regret for the shocking man
ner of his taking off is universal.

Public Reception.

The entertainment at the Hotel Hat
tiesburg in the evening was probably
the most successful general reception
ever held in this city. A spirit of
good-fellowship prevailed throughout
the evening, and the visitors were
made to feel al home. and that they
would be welcome whenever they
came here to inspect the school of
which they are trustees.
Previous to the reception, a de-
licious and informal dinner was spread
at the Hotel Hattiesburg, which was
attended by the visitors and number
of prominent citizens who have mani
tested interest in the local acquisition
of the school.
AT the reception, Prof. Woodley de-
livered the address of welcome, and
his effort was highly appreciated. He
said that knowing as he did the per-
sonnel of the committee, he felt sure
that each and every man on this COM
mittee realizes fully the Importance
and responsibility attached to his po-
sition. This institution, he said, will
last thousand years and will be of
inestimable benefit to the state
and the South and to future genera
tions. The future of this country
does not depend upon the gold and
copper stored in its hills or upon the
fertility of its valleys, but upon the
character of the boys and girls who
are to become the men and women of
the next generation. 1t is for this
reason that this normal school is of
such great value; because, not only
will the young men and women who
attend it be benefited, but countless
hundreds of others will be influenced
by the characters of those who go out
Ithrough it's portals. Prof. Woodley
'Relcomed the visitors most heartily,
md assured them that If they agreed

MONTHLY SESSION
Besides the Bond Issue Matter, the
Meeting Last Night Was Confined
Almost Exclusively to Routine Busi-
ness.

At regular meeting Of the mayor
and city council held last night, an
ordinance declaring the intention of
the board to issue bods in the sum of
$92,50O, in addition to the $57,500 al
ready provided for the purpose of Sc
curing the location of the Mississippi
Normal College in Hattiesburg, was
adopted. The ordinance was adopted
by unanimous vote, the matter hav-
ing been definitely decided upon at
previous meeting Of the council.
This will bring the total amount of
bonds which the city proposes to issue
for the purpose up to $150,000, which
is in addition to the 100000 to be is
sued by Forrest county, making a
grand total of $250,000 In cash which
Hattiesburg and Forrest county offers
as an inducement to have the institu-
ton located in this city.
Aside from the action of the council
in adopting the normal bond ordi-
nance, the session last night was con-
fined almost exclusively to routine
business, and nothing of an extraordi-
nary or unusual nature developed.
A committee of three was appoint
ed to investigate the opening of Tip
ton street and report at the next meet
ing of the council.
The petition of the Seymour Loco
motive Works asking that this concern
be exempted from the payment of
taxes, on the ground that it is manu-
featuring enterprise, was rejected, the
city attorney having previously ruled
that it was not entitled to the exemp-
ton. The city tax collector was in
structed to collect the taxes accord
ing to the original assessment of the
property.
The city clerk was ordered to in
struct the Gulf and Ship Island rail-
road company to replace the arc light
which had been removed from the
Mobile street crossing of that road.
The Traction Company was instruct
ed to remove the arc light from the
Bouie street crossing of the Mississip-
| pi Central to the corner of Gordon and
Second streets, and the Mississippi
Central was instructed to place a
| light at the Bouie street crossing.
The city attorney was instructed to
draft an ordinance penalizing the
Traction Company in the sum of so
cents per night for each street light
not burning, unless proper cause could
be shown why such lights were not in
commission.
A committee was appointed to Sc
lect the most feasible route for the
opening of street crossing on the
N. o. & N. f. railroad North of Bouie
street.
All officers were reelected for the
ensuing month, salaries and general
accounts allowed, and the board ad-
journed to meet on September 10.
