whip socket. The police could not OBJ
tain information that Mr.. Black had
told members of his family where he
was going, when he left home this
evening. At the stable. where he OBJ
tanned the horse and buggy, he said
that he purposed making call in the
southern part of the city.

ALSO ALDERMEN

ing Contract, In Which Two
Editors Figure.

AT TEN DOLLARS EACH
Meeting OF Temporary Board Last
Night Was Very Satisfactory. Ten
Of The Twelve Directors Being
Present.

The directors OF the temporarily
organized baseball association held a
meeting at the office of the Hatties-
burg Trust and Banking company
last night, and plans by which the
local association will be put upon a
solid financial basis were agreed upon
and will be put into operation imme-
diately.
The meeting, which was called for
the purpose Of forming some definite
plans for next seasons business and
agreeing upon a permanent organiza-
tion, was attended by ten Of the twelve
directors recently appointed by Tenn
porary Chairman McInnis, and base
ball affairs were discussed pro and
con.
1t was definitely decided that the
directors named by Mr. McInnis con-
stitute permanent board, and it was
decided to incorporate the new asso-
citation into a stock company, with
authorized capital of $4,000, with au-
thority to begin business as soon as
fifty per cent of the capital stock shall
have been paid in. The par value Of
the shares is to be ten dollars per
share, with no limit upon the number
of shares to be purchased by any in
dividual.
as secretary of the association, and it
is generally understood that D. EN-
NETT McInnis will be made permanent
president. The offices of secretary
and treasurer will be separated, the
treasurer to be selected later.
Last night a committee was ap-
pointed to draft a constitution and
bylaws and to arrange for the char
ter, and another meeting will be held
next Friday night for the purpose of
confirming the actions of this commit
tee.
OF course permanent organization
cannot be gone into until the associa-
tion shall have been incorporated, but
as soon as the charter shall be ap-
proved another meeting will be held
and a permanent association formed
and officers elected.
The question of employing a mana
ger for the Hattiesburg team was dis
cussed last night, but no definite ac-
tion was taken on this matter. The
association is ready to receive pro-
! posals and would be glad to hear from
anyone who would desire to secure
this position.
There can be no doubt that Hatties-
burg fans will enjoy high-class base
ball next season, as the association
will begin with ample finances to take
care of the team without resorting to
public subscriptions and private con-
tributions. The personnel of the new
board of directors is a guarantee that
it's affairs will be conducted upon safe
methods and local enthusiasts are ex-
pecting a pennant winning team next
season.

STRIKE Affects The
entire 0. & c. system
Agent Singleton States That Business
Is Being Handled Satisfactorily and
That Full Clerical Force Will Be on
Duty Monday Morning.

Every member but one of the local
lodge of the Order of Railway Clerks
who were employed at the freight Off
ces of the New Orleans and North
eastern left their desks and walked
out at $3.50 o'clock this morning, in
complying with a general strike order
issued from headquarters of the or.
ganization.
The strike followed as consequence
of a refusal of the railroad officials
to comply with certain demands made
by the clerks concerning salaries and
hours, the railroad and its employees
failing to come to amicable terms at
the conference which adjourned at
New Orleans last night.
When the strike order was received
here this morning, all the clerks en-
ployed at the Northeastern freight
Offices, with the exception of Chief
Clerk Hayes, walked out, and the rail-
roads business is being handled by
Agent Singleton, Chief Clerk Hayes
and one lady assistant.
In an interview with News report
er this morning, Mr.. Singleton stated
that business at the freight depot was
being handled satisfactorily, and that
the public's interests were being
looked after as usual. Deliveries are
being made promptly and without
difficulty, he stated, while all ship
ments are being received as usual.
The Order of Railway Clerks is a
strong and old-established organiza-
ton, and has large membership on
the Queen and Crescent system. The
strike which went on this morning
effects the New Orleans and North
eastern, the Alabama and Vicksburg,
the Shreveport and Pacific and the
New Orleans and Meridian Terminal
Companies. About six hundred en-
ployes are effected.
During the past four days repre-
sentatives of the Order of Railway
Clerks have been in conference with
the railroad officials at New Orleans
for the purpose of securing a contract
with the company. An increase In
salaries, extra pay for overtime, short
er hours and a system of promotion
were some of the terms embodied in
the contract.
Agent Singleton stated this morning
that a full clerical foorce had been
engaged for the local freight offices,
and that on Monday morning every
desk would be occupied as formerly.
The clerks who walked out this morn
ing are determined to stick and are
confident of winning out in the end
l. No unpleasantness of any description
has developed, as the relations which
have heretofore existed between Mr.
Singleton and the railroad employees
have always been of the most pleas
ant character and no friction is eX
pected to develop.

guished by great beauty of line and are
singularly free from all bulkiness, although
there is no scarcity of material where it
Is needed. Many of them have the sleeve
cut in one piece with the bodice, and some
of the most attractive have gored skirts.
The materials are messaline, taffeta, satin
foulard and a heavy Swiss silk. Some suits
Of the latter fabric are in white, with
wide blue or pink hens at the bottom
which are decorated with single lines OF
feather stitching, and the same form of
needlework is used for finishing the necks.
Silk sashes, with long ends, go with these
costumes.
To many women bathing suits like the
ones just described may seem almost too
exquisite for practical purposes, but there
are many others of domestic make which
have all the elegant simplicity of line that
is seen on those from foreign lands, and
are al the same time of unqu'A ionabIe
serviceability. The materials are chiefly
messaline. taffeta and mohair in blue and
black. For trimmings bands of figured
foulard or of taffeta, decorated with en-
broidered dots or designs in soutache, are
used. The necks. which are mostly round
or slightly pointed in front and are not
freedom of movement, have fat fnishngs
of silk that conceal none of the beautiful
curves of the throat

IS HUDSON BAY CLOSED SEA?
Question May Be Affected by Hague
Tribunals Decision.

Washington, July 1.-The question as to
whether Hudson Bay is a closed sea, COM
pletely controlled by Canada, as is con-
tended by the government of that country,
according TO Ottawa dispatches, may be
vitality affected by the decision of the
Hague tribunal on the large issues which
are now being argued before it by eminent
British and American counsel.
While that question came up in a rather
Incidental way, through the assertion by
the Canadians of their right to impose a
small tax on American vessels entering
Hudson Bay, the payment of that tax
might constitute recognition Of the Ca
madam title. In view of the prObab bic con-
struction of a new Canadian road to Hud-
son Bay. giving a much shorter route TO
Europe for the great wheat shipments in
the Far West. the matter, it Is said, is one
which cannot be overlooked by farsighted
American statesmen.
Last year for the first time the attention
OF the State Department was attracted to
the subject American whaling captains
were advised that they need not pay the
tax, and they did not do so. There is no
record of similar instructions this year,
as it is assumed that the Massachusetts
fishermen are simply acting in conformity
With the original decision.

MOORE FEARS NEW YORK
Sees Danger to Other Ports in
Building of Big Ships.
from The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, July Representative j.
Hampton Moore. of Pennsylvania, president
OF the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso-
cation, believes that unless some check is
placed on freak shipbuilding" through an
International agreement as to the uniform
maximum depth of harbors the commerce
OF the country will soon be concentrated in
New York.
He insists that the great draft of the
latest vessels which have been built give
strength to his prediction He contends
that Philadelphia. Baltimore, Boston and
other Atlantic ports cannot now dock such
vessels as the proposed new Cunarders,
and that if other steamship companies con-
tinue to build immense vessels all ports but
New York will be practically closed
In discussing the limitation of artificial
depths of harbors Mr.. Moore said: 1T is
highly important that the nations should
come TO some understanding as to the
depth 10 which they propose to dredge mar
bors for the accommodates cf very few
big ships New York Harbol - - the
Atlantic Coast IS prepared to receive YES
sells of the Mauretania and Lusitania type
Are we to continue to appropriate millions
of dollars every year to attain tor other
harbors the artificial depth We are giving
New York. or are we to agree all along the
coast upon the concentration Of interna-
tional trade and commerce at one point?
But apart from the question of dtstrio-
utinE trade is the very important one OF
wasting public money. Every nation Is
affected. but the United States, by reason
of its area, will undoubtedly be the largest
sufferer. because if foreign shipowners
build vessels of extraordinary draft the
various ports of the United States must be
deepened to accommodate them, whether
they do or do not appear at those ports.
