GOING AFTER THE
NORMAL SCHOOL
Mayor Donald Gets Act Introduce
Allowing City and County to
Make Appropriation.

Mayor J. d. Donald has just re.
turned from Jackson, where he went
in the interest of Hattiesburg in be-
half of the proposition to secure the
location of the new state normal
school, and succeeded in having the
necessary measure introduced and
referred to the committee on local
affairs
Mayor Donald is highly pleased
with the result of his visit to the
capital, and stated this morning chat
he had every reason to believe Hat.
tiesburg had more than a favorable
chance to secure the institution, and,
with the proper support from the
citizens of this city, believes the
prize can be landed.
The measure which Mayor Donald
has had introduced confers upon the
city council and the county board Of
supervisors the authority to make an
appropriation in any amount for the
purpose specified, and it is known
that the attitude of both these bodies
on the subject is liberal to a crafty
ing extent.
Mayor Donald stated that the gen
erai sentiment was favorable to the
school being located in South Misss-
sippi; indeed, he believed that the
legislature intended that the, institr.
ton should come to this section, and
it will naturally go to the community
offering the most liberal inducements
Hattiesburg proposes to get it, and
for this reason the city council de
sired and will obtain authority to
make any appropriation which it may
see fit
The matter will again be taken up
at the meeting of the council next
Tuesday night, and it is believed
that by that time the bill will nave
been passed and some definite ac-
ton taken by the council

NUMEROUS AGENTS

Couldn't Ecuse Them on Account
OF Their Alleged Ignorance OF The

Substantial evidence of the fact that

were fostering and encouraging an
outlawed traffic, and were therefore
partners to the crime.
1t is stated that large amount of
the whfskey sold in Hattiesburg is
sold by agents of the regular blind
tigers. 1t is stated that many ne
groes here, while not actually engaged
in the tiger" business, make their
living from the tips" which they
receive from the parties from whom
and for whom they buy liquor.
All the negroes brought before
Judge Davis this morning were fined
in sums ranging from $50 to $780,

the liquor traffic among negroes has
been broken.

MAY Be PREPARING
F3R Federal COURT
Thought That Bowers Object in Ask
ing for Increase Was to Provide for
Accommodating This Court, But
Nothing Positive is Known.

Citizens of Hattiesburg are very
much interested in a bill which was
introduced in congress yesterday by
Congressman Bowers, asking for an
| increase of $4,000 in the appropria-
tion of the federal building for this
city The original appropriation ask
ed for this building, which has al
ready been made, was $4,000, and it
is thought very probable that Mr..
Bowers will succeed in getting the
increase
The introduction of this bill by
Mr. Bowers has been the subject of
much speculation by the people
of this city, since it is known
that he recently introduced a
bill creating new federal
court district and providing that court
be held in Hattiesburg. 1t was
thought by many that in order to ac-
commodate this court, it would be
necessary to make some changes in
the original plans of the building, as
this matter was not considered prior
to the time the appropriation was
made
While it cannot be learned def
nitely what disposition has been made
or will be made of Mr.. Bowers bill
asking for new district it is stated
that the measure is now before the
committee of the house, and Mr..
Bowers entertains hopes of it's being
favorably reported by them. His in
PRODUCTION of the bill asking for an
increased appropriation for the fed.
eral building is taken to mean that
he is confident the measure will pass
and is desirous of providing for this
contingency before the contract shall
be let, so that thes necessary changes
in the plans may be made.
No announcement has yet been
made of the acceptance by the gov.
ernment of any of the bids submit
ted, and of course, no one has the
faintest idea as to who will get the
contract. Several local contractors
submitted estimates on the job, and
citizens will, naturally,
wait with interest the announcement
of the awarding of the contract.
Even if the contract for the gen
eral building should be let to an out
of-toWn concern, it is generally;
thought that many of the sub-con
tracts will be let to local mechanics.
many of whom have already prepar.
ed estimates on different classes of
work to be done on the building.
So far as can be learned, Mr.. Bow;
ers has not informed any one here
as to his exact plans in the matter
but it is generally thought that he
is making strong effort to secure
the new federal court district and
provide building which will be ca.
pable of accommodating the court.

BILBO DENOUNCED

Numerous Sensations Have Been
Sprung Since Yesterday Mornings
Session-CompIete Testimony of
Mrs. Neil, the "Go-Between."
Special to The NelCS.

Special to The NelcS.
Jackson, Miss, Apr. S.-The inves-
tigation of the Bilbo-Dulaney bribery
charges assumed a rather unexpected
turn today. Senator Bilbo closed his
case shortly after eleven O'Clock, re-
serving the right to introduce sew
eral more witnesses.
The presentation of the case in
behalf of the senate was then COM
menced and Mr. l.. G.. Dulaney, the
wealthy Issaquena county planter,
whom Bilbo alleges gave him $645
to change his vote from Vardaman
to Percy, was placed on the stand.
Dulaneys testimony was a sweeping
denial Of Bilbo's charges. He contra
dicted his accuser at every turn, de-
claring that he was working for
the election of any senatorial candi-
date other than Vardaman, and did
not spend one cent for illigitimate
purposes during the memorable fight.
Dulaney denounced Bilbo's charges
as a dirty, infamous lie." and de-
clared with reference to Mrs. Neil
that he never had but one conversa-
tion with her in his life, and regard
ed her as "a pitiful old prostitute" :"
In regard to Bilbo Dulaney de-
clared that the senator from the
Fourth district was constantly hang
ing around his roo mand drank up
great deal of liquor, frequently
carrying away quart at time;
that he made several hints that he
would take money for his vote, but
he was not in the vote buying bust
