Dear Sir:
AS Chairman of the Committee is
suing. bulletin dated Nov. 2Sth to
Sleeping Car Porters and Car Serv-
Ice Men of the United States" / wish
to make the following statements
believe it good idea for the
Sleeping Car Porters and Car Serv-
Ice Men to have such an organization
as the boys need protection along a
good many lines, and believe such an
organization would do a good deal to-
ward giving 1t to them.
did endorse such a movement but
did not preside at any committee
meeting at any time, to draw up reso-
buttons relative to the formation of
the circular. The committee assumed
the responsibility of getting out the
circular in their own idea and when
returned to the City was confront
ed with the circular. do not think it
right for the committee to use any
mans name unless they were given
permission to use 1t, and although my
name appeared as Chairman of the
committee, l am not responsible for
the committees action.
In regard to having the Convention
on December Goth: AS that is the
day on which Christmas will be cele-
brated this year. | did not think 1t
would be possible to get a body of
men to sit in a convention on that
day.
I have lived in this City for the past
fifteen years, and have always tried
to live i'm such way that my actions
would be above reproach, and when
the matter was brought to my atten.
ton / felt that 1t would be quite an
honor to act as Chairman of a body
of men of this kind. and personally
hoped this idea would be carried out.
l hope the convention can be arranged
for some other day when 1t will be
more convenient for large gather.
ing.
We must try to progress along in
tellectual and business lines and be.
lieye that this kind of movement
formed on systematic basis, is a
move In the right direction.

Washington.-Charles T. Cottrill and
Whitefeld McKinlay are in the lime
light, politically speaking, on account
OF the appointment of one to a re-
sponsible and lucrative Office by the
president and the confirmation Of the
other by the senate. President Taft
nominated Charles T. Cottrill for the
position Of collector of customs at Hon
olulu, Hawaii. The appointment of
Mr.. Cottrill has been semiofficially an.
nounced for some time.
A few days prior to the elections last
November 1t was given out on what
has been taken as reliable information
that Mr.. Cottrill would be appointed
to the above named position and that
William II. Lewis would be appointed
an assistant attorney general.
With pleasing promptness the senate
has confirmed the nomination of Whit
field McKinlay as collector of customs
| at Georgetown, d. @. The nomination
Of Mr.. McKinlay was sent to congress
along with big batch Of other recess
appointments. While there was some
talk Of opposition, yet the friends of
Mr.. McKinlay have asserted all along
that the nomination would go through
without hitch.

Apparently regardless of the fact
ers is even more important to the
welfare of the city than the election
Of a mayor, the voters of Hattiesburg
are not taking the interest in today's
election that was manifested at the first
primary last Tuesday, and it is esti-
mated that not more than $50 votes
will be polled today.
The seven days intermission
between the two primaries have been
exceedingly quiet and uneventful, so
far as politics was concerned, a ma
jority of the people apparently having
lost interest after the mayors con-
test was settled, and not caring par
ticularly who would be elected COM
|missioners.
However, the four candidates who
were left in the run-off have been
very busy in an effort to hold their
original strength and gather in sup
port which went to other candidates
in the first election, and they will en-
deavor to see that their friends and
supporters reach the polls today.
A close canvass of the situation
indicates that Hardy will lead the
ticket, with Fuller and Mckenzie
pushing each other for second place.
Cameron, however, has developed con-
siderable strength, and it is not i'm
probable that the vote he receives
today will be, somewhat of a surprise
to good many people.
It depends largely, however, upon
the number OF votes polled, and this
forecast may be way off.
Voting was very light at both pre-
cincts until the noon hour, but it may
be, as was the case last Tuesday, that
a heavy vote will be polled between
five and six o'clock this afternoon.
At o'clock this afternoon only five
hundred votes had been polled at both
voting precincts combined.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Millers must
stop bleaching flour. pending adjudica-
ton by the higher courts, or stand

a decision reached here today at a
conference between officials of the
departments of agriculture and JUS

At the conference were Acting At

McCabe, of the department of agricul-
ture, the latter representing Secretary

bers since the date of the decision in

inal prosecution of those responsible
for the shipments.
The government holds that, mas

Judgment is made by a higher court,
bleached flour must not be sent in in

Inmates on the pyrotechnical display.
Yesterday a representative of one
of the largest fireworks concerns in
America called on the secretary of
the club and submitted a program and
estimate of the cost of the display.
The program submitted, if accepted
by the club, will furnish one of the
most elaborate displays ever witness
ed in this section of the country, and
will require fully three hours in it's
execution.
No proposition will be accepted by
the club, however, until estimates
from several concerns have been re-
ceived, as it is intehasd to arrange
for even more elaborate display than
was shown at the Prosperity and
Fourth of July celebrations.
Other new and novel features are
being planned for the October cele-
bration, the purpose being to make it
entirely different from previous SINH
lar occasions in this city. The event
will be advertised more extensively,
and an effort made to attract a rec
