OUTLOOK FOR
HAMPER PARK
Speculation AS to What Com
mission Will Do With Citys
Playground.

In contemplation of the fact that at
the outside calculation there remain
a comparatively few weeks before
spring will open and citizens of this
city will begin to cast about for a
pleasant place to spend the afternoon
hours and Sundays, many inquiries
are being made as to what, if any
thing is being done, or going to be
done, for the opening to the public
of Hamper Park, the city's only public
playground.
Attention mas been called to the
fact that while the proposition to in
crease the tax levy was being discuss
ed, several prominent and wealthy citi-
zens, in opposing the increase, stated
that they would be willing and glad
to contribute of their private funds
for the purpose OF improving the park
in the event the present tax levy
would not provide sufficient funds to
carry out the work under contempla
ton by the commission.
1t has been proposed to build a pa
Wilton to accommodate fifteen hun
dred people, the building to be used
as theatre, for dancing, skating ant
other amusements, and Architect Lee
has been requested by Mayor Donald
to submit plans and specifications fol
such structure. 1t is thought thai
under the present tax levy the com
mission will have at its disposal, from
this source, something like $1,000, ant
it is believed that those who are in
terested in the matter will voluntaril.
contribute the balance necessary tt
complete the work and put the parl
in excellent condition.

STATE To Fight
The CATTLE TICK
Bill Providing an Appropriation Of
$4,000 FavorabIy Reported by
Appropriation Committee.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 19.-At a meet
ing of the house Appropriations Com
mittee Thursday afternoon, a favora-
BILE report was ordered on the bill
providing an appropriation of $50,0O0
to fight the cattle tick. A small ap-
preparation was made for this work at
the last session, and such good results
were had that a larger fund was asked
for this year.
The federal government has several
experts working in the state. and has
been eXpending large sums in the war
against the cattle tick, but with the
state making this appropriation, the
government will give even greater aid.
Several counties have been freed from
the pest, and the federal quarantine
will be raised on that part of the
state soon, which means that cattle
raisers will get better prices for their
product than was possible before the
tick had been eradicated.
A rough estimate places the loss to
Mississippi cattlemen at about $1,000
900 a year from the cattle tick, in loss
of cattle from fever and low prices
paid for Mississippi raised cattle.

COAL famine
!. THREATENED
Supply Nearly Exhausted Here
Friday---Situation Will Be
Relieved Monday.

Hattiesburg has been threatened
with a Goa, famine! Fate, apparent
ly not satisfied with thrusting a Sc
we're cold snap on an unsuspect'ng
public, during which water pipes were
frozen and bursted and homes in
many instances flooded with water
after the thaw before plumbers could
get the damage repaired, has decreed
that the public must suffer for
the want of coal. ( The supply of
every coal company in the city, save
one, was completely exhausted Fri
day, and while little suffering has
been reported, the shortage has been
inconvenient: The Hattiesburg Ice
& Coal Co., Caperton Bros. and the
City Coal Co. had no coal at all on
hand Friday, and the Southern
Lumber & Coal Co. had only small
supply.
All of the companies report that a
sufficient supply has been ordered tt
carry the city through this and many
other cold snaps, and that it will be
here today and tomorrow. and by
Monday it is hoped that the situation
will be normal again.

BOAT TO PLY BETWEEN
ST. LOUIS and NATCHEz
ls Designed to Fill the Need For ves-
sci to Carry High-Grade Freight
Rapidly Between Terminal Points.
Description Of Boat.

Among the many innovations intro
duced to the river by the Mississippi
Valley Transportation Company, not
the least remarkable is the new pack
age freight boat which will be run
in connection with the Mississippi
Central Railroad between st. Louis
and Natchez, to bring freight to Hal
tiesburg and other Mississippi point.
The new boat is designed to fill the
need for a vessel to carry high-grade
freight rapidly between terminal
points, and to make the trip mere
speedily than is possible with the
barges and towboats. With the addi-
ton of this new service, the Missis
sippi Central has placed itself in posi-
tion to compete successfully witt,
railroad lines parallelling the Missis
sippi river from st. Louis SOUTH and
will be of inestimable benefit in the
way of quicker service and better
rates to merchants and business con
Germs in this city.

To Have Been Caused by Tenn.
porary Dementia.
(By Associated PresS.)


Birmingham. Ala, Feb. 19.-George
Stephens this morning shot and killed
three of his little children, shot and
probably fatally wounded their negro
nurse and then turned the pistol on
himself and ended his life.
Stephens was an engineer on the
l.. & N. road and was on his run as
late as yesterday. He is believed
to have be n suffering from tempo
rary dementia when he committed
his rash act today. He is said to
have taken a dose of morphine late
yesterday and to have spent very
restless night.
The youngest child he killed was a
baby, seventeen-months-old; the old
est child Of seven years. Stephens
wife died about a year ago.
A ten-year-old son ran from the
house when his crazed father rushed
into the nursery and thus escaped.

Wild EXCITEMENT
IN COTTON MARKET
New York and New Orleans Today
Broke to a Level of $2.25 Bale
Below Cesterday's Close.
(BU Associated Press.)

New Orleans, La, Feb. 19.-The cot
ton future markets at New York and
New Orleans broke to a level today
about 1925 per bale below the close
of yesterday.
The cotton market was almost as
excited and demoralized at the open
ing as it was during the break of
January. This was due partially to a
sensational decline in the Liverpool
market before the American markets
opened for business.
The New York market started weak
at decline of from ten to thirty-five
points, with May contracts selling
down to 14.16. At New Orleans the
more active months stood % to 81
points under yesterdays closing.
In the trading Immediately follow
ing the opening there was slight
recovery and then the market drop
ped to the lowest levels of the day.

Cargo Under Deck.

In this new boat che entire cargo
can be slowed and handled through
NatcheZ in the deck, and she mas the
additional advantage of the Great
Lakes whaleback in that her bow is
built with long rake, yacht-like, in
order to run over the water instead
of parting it, thus enabling it to make
as fast time or faster than freight
service by rail. The speed of the ves-
sci will be seventeen to eighteen
miles per hour, with cargo aboard.
While altogether four of these ves-
sells will be constructed and put in
commission on the Mississippi river,
two of them will be completed and
put in operation before the coming
summer. The vessels will run from
st. Louis to New Orleans. making the
trip within five days and stopping at
Memphis. Helena, Vicksburg and
Natchez.

ARE Investigating
STATES ACCOUNTS
House Committee Has Begun Work on
Examination of Books and Ac-
counts Of State Officials.

Special to The Net1s.
Jackson, Miss, Feb 19.-The house
committee to investigate the books
and accounts of state officers has COM
menced it's labors, and will probably
have a report in readiness TO submit
during the coming week
The leading members of the COM
mittee realize that their labors are
well nigh farcical, since there is not
a member of the body who is an ex-
pert accountant, or who possesses
more than rudimentary knowledge
of bookkeeping. The investigation,
therefore, is of perfunctory character,
and the committee is compelled to
take nearly everything for granted.
and rely almost wholly on statements
made by various officials
Representative Hold, of Copiah
county. one of the most active mem
bers of the committee, expresses the
opinion that the legislature ought TO
confer authority on the body to en-
ploy an expert accountant who shall
commence his labors at the begin
ming of each biennial session, under
the direction of the committee, and
thus make it possible to secure an in
telligent Investigation of the accounts
of the various officials.

Soil Survey Fund.

1t is probable large appropriation
will be made by the legislature to
pursue the soil survey in the state.
This work has been in progress for
some time, but with only few men

With an appropriation from the state
the federal government will increase

will be pushed to completion within a
comparatively brief period.

ARE EXPECTED TO RAISE
five THOUSAND DOLLARS
Success Of Club During Present Year
Depends Largely Upon Result Of
This Committees Work.-To Inter-
v;sw Business Men.

Whether or not the Hattiesburg
Commercial Club will be able to carry
out the work which has been planned
for this year depends very largely
upon the success of the committee
appointed by President Jackson to in
terview the business men and manu-
featuring interests of this city with
the view to securing contributions for
this purpose.
Realizing this fact, in naming the
committee, President Jackson has en-
deavored to select such ,men as he
knows will exert every legitimate ef-
fort to put the club on substantial
financial foundation, and in order to
do this it is estimated that not less
than fiev thousand dollars will be nee
essary, and the sum must be raised
by public subscription, those interests
whicn are to be the largest bene
fciaries OF the clubs endeavors nat
urally being expected to contribute
| in proportion to the benefit which
they will probably derive.

FORREST CLUB TO
have new Home
Decided at Meeting Last Night to
Move Next Week to George Place
~
on Bay Street.

A called meeting of the Forrest Club
was held at the Hattiesburg Hotel
Friday night for the purpose of hear
ing the report of the committee ap-
pointed one night last week to sound
the different members on the question
of the removal of the club to new
headquarters. Considerable enthusi-
asm was shown when this committee
reported that enough of the members
had been seen, each of whom agreed
to give as much as $4,000 per year for
the support of the club, to justify its
removal to the George place, and it is
probable that the removal will be
made sometime during the coming
week.
A committee of four was appointed
to make draft of the improvements
most needed and which will have to
be made at once, to be submitted to
the board of directors. The unani-
nous concurrence of the board in any
suggestion this committee may make
was practically assured in advance
last night. The Committee is COM
posed of w. e. Herren, chairman: p.
l.. CASTOR, Ed Wood and w. r. Hick-
man.
The president and treasurer of the
club were empowered by vote to sign
lease for the property for two years,
with the privilege of extending to FIVE
years, and the question of a perma-
nent home for this organization is
practically settled.
II is understood that the George
place will have to undergo number
of changes and repairs in order that
it may be made the ideal club home
proposed. and when these changes are
made the rooms will be fitted up for
modern club home.

Much Depends Upon Committee.

Much Depends Upon Committee.
Therefore, it may be said, that the
success of the Commercial Club dur
ing the year 1910, depends very
largely upon the encouragement Civ
en- this committee by the business
interests of the city. The following
gentlemen have been named and are
charged with the responsibility of
raising the necessary funds:
W. w. Crawford, chairman of COM
mittee; H. A. Camp. S. l.. Heidelberg
and H. Katz. Th.se gentlemen will
interview the business men and ex-
plain to them the necessity for in
creasing the efficiency of tae club,
and President Jackson. in naming the
committee, stated that he would be
very glad if the business and manu-
featuring interests of the city would
cooperate with them and make their
woi as light as possible.
President Jackson stated that the
amount asked for in order to
carry on the club in the manner pro-
posed during the present year was
by no means unreasonable, and he
believes the sum can be easily OBJ
tanned. In order to do this, however,
it is necessary that all interests as
sumo some of the responsibility and
subscribe to the support of the club,
in proportion as they hope to be ben
efitted by it.

so as not to prejudice the corn belt case

is that Ketchum tipped it off to Board
Boardman introduced the supposed Sc
cret resolution in his pleadings or
passed 1t on to the attorneys for the
railroads who used it. Ketchum admits
that he told Boardnan and for this
LATE Young wants him to resign.
Now it does not so appear in any of
the statements but the T.R. is firmly
of the opinion that the packers and
their attorneys were instrumental in
getting the commission to withdraw
their demand for reduction in hog rates
| and therefore did not need any inside
tip as to what had been DONE The
| record shows that the attorneys intro
duced a copy of the resolution certified
to by the secretary of the commission.
If ketchum surreptitiously tipped off
had agreed with the other commission
ers to keep secret or if he permitted
himself unwittingly to be pumped in
side out by designing attorney ketch-
UNI had best defend his own case but
ketchum now says that there was no
secrecy about it, that it was all a
matter of record. The facts are
that the commission. if it had
decided to recede from its demand
to reduce hog rates, should have done
public business in public way and
made no secrecy of it. The independent
packing interests of Iowa are as legiti-
mately entitled to be protected as are
the meat producers and for this reason
the Times-Republican has been unable
to see in the affair either q corrupt or
perfidious betrayal of the public inter-
est. altho it is easy to appreciate the
