Will MAKE fight
FOR CLEAN CITY
Women of Questionable Character
Were Given a Plain Talk by the
City Judge This Morning-Must
Leave City Immediately.

Il want you women to understand,
that so long as l occupy the position
of police justice of the city of Hatties-
burg, houses of prostitution will not
be tolerated here. 1t is not my de-
sire to persecute or impose upon you
women, but our statutes has classed
this kind of vagrancy as crime and
has provided means of punishment
for it's violators. AS public official,
sworn to perform my duties according
to the law and the evidence in cases
brought before me, it becomes my
duty to impose such sentences as the
law provides.
In your cases, a prison sentence
of not less than ten nor more than
thirty days is provided by the stat
ute, and l am going to sentence each
of you to Jail for thirty days; this
sentence, however, will be suspended
upon good behavior. You all know
what that means; you do not misun-
derstand my meaning in this connec-
tion. | do not undertake to tell you
where you shall go or what you shall
do but l want it distinctly understood
that so long as I am judge OF this
court, hous IS of prostitution will not
be tolerate in Hattiesburg
'All l want you to do is TO respect
the law and to obey the law, and it
becomes my duty as an officer to see
that the law is enforced. and | shall
certainly pursue this policy so long as
occupy my present position
The above brief but courageous ut
terance was delivered this morning
by Judge j. E. Davis, when number
of women of the underworld were ar
raigned before him on a charge of
vagrancy. Hon. Bart Scarborough, of
Laurel, who represented the defend
ants, entered plea of guilty for his
clients. and requested the court to be
lenient with them and to impose the
minimum fine. He made a brief ar
gument in support of this request, at
the conclusion of which Judge Davis
laid down the law to the women.
Judge Davis remarks were so plain
and unmistakable that no interpreter
lis necessary to explain their mean
ing. He manifested no animosity
towards the women, but explained his
position to them in a manner which
they could not fail to understand, and
there seems to be no doubt that the
lecture will have the desired result.

TWENTY-NINE men
HAVE REPORTED
At Least Twenty More Are Expected
to Arrive Today and Tonight
Trains Running as Usual on Gulf
and ship Island Road.

+ Twenty-nine striking operators from
various points ON the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad have reported to Depu-
ty President Tanquary in Hattiesburg,
and temporary headquarters have
been opened at the Klondyke Hotel.
According to Mr.. Tanquary, at least
twenty more men are expected to re-
port this evening or tonight.
While the men who have arrived in
Hattiesburg are what are known as
trick" men and train dispatchers,
they are said to come only from the
South end of the road; that is, from
stations between Hattiesburg and
Gulfport, and the number does not in
clude station agents, who have been
permitted to remain at their posts
until their offices are checked UP by
the travelling auditor of the railroad.
This will necessarily take several
days, and the agents, therefore, are
not expected to report to headquarters
until the latter part of the week.
So far as can be learned, traffic on
the Gulf and Ship Island road has
not yet been seriously affected by the
strike. All trains have been running
| as usual, and the place of one of the
strikers from the local dispatcher's
office has been supplied with a new
man. Deputy Tanquary stated this
morning that fifty operators had al
ready walked out.
AS soon as suitable location can
be- had, permanent headquarters will
be opened at Hattiesburg, commit
tee of operators having been appoint
ed by Mr.. Tanquary to canvas the
city and select the most suitable and
convenient place for this purpose.
So far, the railroad has not found
it necessary to resort to the use of the
long distance telephones in operating
trains, the orders being transmitted
in the usual way
Operators have been placed on all
the company's trains and are keeping
Mr.. Tanquary advised as to any new
developments in the strike situation.

Mr.. BALLARD HAD
SUCCESSFUL TRIP
Arrived Safely in Hattiesburg With
Prisoner for Whom He Went to
Seattle, Wash.

Cashier ]. Z. Ballard, of the Citizens
Bank, who has just returned from
Seattle, Washington, where he went
to bring nack G. 0. F'oxworth, the
man who is accused of forging war
rants Of Ma,icn county to the amount
o. $3.500, aud some of which he sue
ceeded in cashing at the Citizens
bank about five years ago, is very
much gratified at the result of his
trip.
Nearly all the detective work in
this case was done by Cashier Bal
lard after the Pinkerton Agency had
given up the search for the fugitive,
and the amount of money which
Foxworth filched from the bank had
long since been charged to profit and
loss on the books of the institution
and was no longer carried as an as
set.
Mr.. Ballard never despaired of fl
nally locating his man, however, and
the fact that Foxworth is now con
fined in the Forrest county Jail is
largely due to his efforts.
