Hahnville, La, June 29.-After
shooting his wife so that she died
while being taken to New Orleans for
medicinal aid, and severely wounding
his mother-in-law, Pierre Gabriel pro-
ceeded to blow his own face Off, dying
a short time afterward.
The crime was committed on the
plantation of George Kugler, in the
Third ward of this parish and was
occasioned by fit of jealousy on the
part of Gabriel, over very trifling
matter. The women were shot while
they were in bed, about O'Clock Sun
day morning.
The mother-in-law will probably re-
cover People who heard the shots
when they arrived at the scene Of the
shooting thought that the negro had
escaped, but hearing shot outside of
the cabin made an investigation and
found that Gabriel had shot himself,
blowing one-half of his face off He
was not dead when the parties found
him, but died a few minutes after
ward The tragedy occurred in the
negro quarters of the plantation.

HAD PREPARED VERY
INGENIOUS DEFENSE
But The Court Failed To Recognize A
Distinction Between Her And Those
Who Had Preceded Her And Had
Left The City.

The last vestige of the red light
district was wiped out by Judge Davis
in police court this morning when
Ruth Oakes was sentenced to thirty
days Imprisonment, the penalty re-
Gently imposed on other inhabitants
of the restricted district of Hatties-
burg.
A charge of vagrancy was docketed
against the woman at the same time
others of her character were arrested
several days ago, but the trial was
postponed for various reasons until
this morning, and it is said that Ruth
Cakes is the sole remaining represen-
tative of a recently large clan OF
women of questionable character, the
members of which have dispersed and
wandered to the four winds of the
earth in compliance with Judge Davis
move on" order.
This woman, who was represented
by an attorney, had prepared a very
ingenious defense and sought to OBJ
tain an acquittal. She claimed to
have abandoned her bad habits more
than six weeks ago, and while ac-
knowledging that she had been con-
victed for running house Of ques-
tionable reputation as late as April
22, her attorney submitted that this
fact did not prove that she was guilty
in the present instance. 1t was
stated that the property where she re-
sided belonged to her and that she
had legal right to live there.
Judge Davis did not see how he
could make distinction between this
case and those which had been tried
recently, and accordingly sentenced
the woman to jail for thirty days
The case was appealed to the circuit
court, and in the meantime the wo
man understands that she will be ex'
pected to follow the example of hei
former associates and "hike."

BODY OF FLOATER
MAY Be ALLISON
When Last Seen, The Young Man Was
Going up The Mississippi River
In Gasoline Boat.
Specidl to The NeiDs,

Special to The NetoS.
Vicksburg, Miss, June 29.-With
the possibility that the "floater".
found in the Mississippi Saturday
night, the body of white man may
have been the remains of Walter AL
lison, an employe of the United States
government fleet here, renewed inter-
est is being shown in trying to find out
the present whereabouts of Allison,
and it is probable the body, which has
been inferred at Yucatan Island, may
be exhumed for further efforts at
Identification.
This news was given out by Captain
George M. Davis, who stated, in tell
ing of the disappearance of Allison,
the following facts: Nearly two
months ago Allison, who had decided
to quit work at the fleet, bought q
fourteen-foot gasoline boat and ex-
pressed the intention of making his
way up the Mississippi in this frail
craft to Hickman, KY, his former
home. Allison started, and has never
been heard from.
Captain Davis says that recently a
gasoline boat has been taken in
charge near Greenville, and as there
is a possibility it may be that OF
Allison, a man will be sent to Green
vile to look at the boat and report
Captain Davis says that he has been
informed that Allison had quite sum
of money in his possession when he
left for Hickman; just how much was
not stated.

BOARD OF Directors
HELD A MEETING
Report Of Finance Committee Was
Very Encouraging, and Indicated
That the Club Will Be Successful in
the Work Which IT Has Undertaken.

That the people of Hattiesburg have
determined to stand by and assist the
Commercial Club in it's efforts to i'm
prove the conditions of this city and
surrounding country by lending their
encouragement and financial aid to
the organization, was manifested at
meeting of the board of directors,
last night, when twenty-eight new
members were elected.
The meeting was a most satisfactory
one, and more than ordinary enthusi-
asm in the organizations work and
future prospects was developed, which
indicated that individual members
had determined to work earnestly for
the success of the club and the de-
velopment of Hattiesburg's innumera-
BILE resources,
The report of the finance commit
tee, which was appointed for the pur-
pose of raising funds to finance the
organization through the extensive
campaign of improvement which was
outlined early in the year, was highly
gratifying, and showed that citizens
of the city had faith in the clubs
ability to push the campaign to sue
cessful conclusion. The committee
has met with much encouragement.
and there appeared to be no doubt
that the necessary funds should be
obtained with comparative ease.
With reference to the matter of a
permanent location for the club, which
question was to be determined by the
success or failure of the finance COM
mittee to secure the necessary funds,
| it was decided last night that the
time had arrived when the organiza-
tion should have a comfortable and
convenient home, and a committee was
appointed for the purpose of securing
suitable location. The club has un-
der consideration propositions from
several parties offering a suitable
building, but no definite action has yet
been taken in the matter. 1t is
thought probable that the committee
will close a contract for one of the
places within the next few days, and
in this event it is expected the club
will be housed in its new home with.
in fortnight, or perhaps earlier.
Officers, and directors of the clut
are very much gratified at the inter
est which is being manifested by mem
bers of the organization. and are in
clined to believe that its usefulness
and influence will be considerably
strengthened by the new materia
which was added to the membership
last night.
