about TO go to fraudulent claimants

One Platform for Fair

This exposition will be one OF the
most important events in San Fran
cisco's history. / do not say the most
important, because I look upon the re-
building of the city as the most impor-
tant thing the city has ever accom-
plished. But the coming exposition
means more than we can surmise in
progress. prestige and advancement"
The city may have many differ
ences of opinion and belief among
its people, but there are merely differ
ences symbolic of a strong character.
When it comes to this fair there is but
one platform upon which we must all
stand, and that is unity. upbuilding,
advancement and prosperity"

AID COMES FROM SEATTLE
That Seattle and other cities of the
north Pacific coast are deeply interested
in the success of the Panama Pacific
International exposition and will sup
port 1t to the utmost was evidenced by
the statement made last evening by
Frank McDermott, proprietor of the
Bon Marche, one of the greatest de-
partment stores of Seattle
"All Seattle is interested in the COM
ing exposition in San Francisco" said
McDermott. II am willing now to offer
contribution of $4,000 of stock sub
scription on behalf of the Bon Marche,
and If it becomes necessary toward the
end to raise additional funds by bond
issue or otherwise l will stand ready to
help out again
Il am thoroughly enthusiastic over
the plans for this exposition. Our fair
in Seattle this summer was the great
est kind of success, and yet San Fran
cisco has the opportunity to give the
biggest fair here that the world has
ever known. What helps one city on
this coast helps all the rest, and we
are all willing and anxious to stand by
San Francisco and give it our utmost
aid.

FOR
Big CELEBRATION
Finance Committee Met Last Night
and Will Begin Active Cam
paien Immediately.

Preparations for the big Prosperity
Celebration to be held in Hatties-
burg on October II, 13 and IA, in con-
nection with the state reunion of Con-
federate Veterans, have begun in
earnest, and all the details for the big
event will be worked out by the vari-
GUS committees in the near future.
The finance committee of the Com
mercial Club, which was recently ap-
pointed for the raising of funds for
the celebration, held a meeting at the
club rooms last night and plan of
procedure was outlined. The COM
mittee is now actively at work solicit
ing funds from business firms and in
dividuals, and it is believed that no
difficulty will be experienced in OBJ
tanning the necessary amount of
money.
The Commercial Club contemplates
making this celebration a notable
event in the history of Hattiesburg,
but in order to do this more money
will be needed than was required for
the celebration of last October. The
program will be more elaborate and
will contain many new and novel fea-
lures, and it is the intention of the
Commercial Club to advertise the
event more extensively in order to at
tract larger number of visitors.
Committees of the local camp of
Confederate Veterans and the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy are actively
at work arranging for the reunion, and
it is safe to say that the big event
will be pulled off in most satisfactory
style.
The program committee, recently
appointed by President Jackson, of
the Commercial Club, will meet Thurs
day night at the club rooms, when the
work of arranging the program for
the big celebration will be com
menced.

end OF SUGAR
TRUST CASES
Arguments For Arrest of Judgment In
Cases of Charles Heike And Ernest
Gerbracht Heard Today.

New York, Aug. 30.-Judge Martin,
presiding in the United States Circuit
Court, will today hear arguments for
an arrest of Judgment in the cases Of
Charles Heike and Ernest Gerbracht,
the high salaried sugar trust employees
who were convicted of conspiracy to
defraud the government of customs
duties. If the argument is overruled
and sentence imposed, the maximum
penalty in the case of Heike is a SEN
tence of two years in prison and a
fine of $4,000. Gerbracht may be
sent to prison for twelve years and
be compelled to pay fine of 100000.
With the conclusion of these cases,
the government prosecution of sugar
trust officials and employees will prob
ably end.
H. o. Havemeyer, the sugar king"
who, it was alleged, fathered the
scheme for defrauding the govern
ment, is dead. So are Leroy and
Donner. Several former officials were
sent to jail, and two former employees
are confined in sanitariums for the
insane.
