Hundreds Of Animated Pleasure
Seekers, Including Many Visitors
From Other Points.

Woodmen Day in Hattiesburg could
not have been more happily selected
than today, nor could any more de-
lightful or suitable spot have been Sc
lected for its celebration than Kam-
per Park. The bright smiles of the
sun were softened by soft Southern
breeze, and all nature appeared to
have arizen rejuvenated by the recent
rains. In Hamper Park the green of
the trees and grass was never greener
or more refreshing, and the hundreds
who celebrated today where Hatties-
bGg Camp No. 449 is host, enjoyed
the day and the occasion to its ut
most.
Scattered about the Park and clus-
tered closely about the stand where
the exercises were being held were
men, women and children to whom the
day was pleasant outing They
were on hand to listen to the music
and the talks of the eloquent speak
ers and to enjoy a real day in the
woods as well. Ample preparations
were made for their entertainment,
for there was an abundance of good
things and the barbecue and picnic
at one o'clock was a real feast.
The exercises opened with music
by the Woodmen's band. who were in
rare good form and interlarded each
number on the program with a de
lightful musical selection.
Hon. R. S. Hall, of Hattiesburg, de
livered the address of welcome, Capt.
w. o. Gray having charge of the ar
rangements. Mr.. Hall was in good
form and his eloquent words were
given close attention. He said:
Mr.. Toastmaster, Ladies and Gentle
men:
The Magic City of Mississippi glad
ly greets this crowd of Woodmen and
the other distinguished visitors with
cheer and good wishes; and Hatties-
burg Camp No. 449, and all Hatties-
burg gives you welcome, yes thrice
welcome.
This is Woodman's Day, and we
want you all to enjoy to the fullest |
this picnic. 1t is we'll that |
occasionally we can leave the farm,
the workshop, the store, the bank and |
our desk of labor to thus assemble |
and enjoy sure enough holiday.
I'VE want this to be a gala day for
because it is the concep-
lion and production of Woodcraft
When then | assure you that this will
be a festive day, replete in every pre-
Lention, such assurance is made be-
cause Woodmen never do things by
halves. Being a chopper myself, I
know whereof | speak.
Il want to tell you something about
Woodcraft, so that we may the more
enjoy this day of pleasures by having
he facts and figures of Woodcraft
'resh in oud minds.
THE first camp of the Woodmen of
he World was organized on Friday,
June the 9Th, 1890, so this day is for
all purposes the goth anniversary of
his grand order. In this short period
,f 20 years Woodcraft has grown so
great until today its entire member

on. Its advancement has been so
'apid until it is now second in men,

ance of the plan and petition congress

ways as follows:
From Denver to the Mississippi at
st. Louis.

PEOPLE MAY VOTE
ON SKY SCRAPERS
HuIett C. Merritt May Circulate
Initiative Petition if Coun-
Gil Bars Building

Three hundred and twenty-three
Los Angeles have signed Hulett c.
Merritt's petition to the city council
urging it to mike whatever changes
in the building ordinances may be
necessary to permit the erection of the
marble business block he proposes to
erect at Eighth and Broadway. In
Guiding the cupola, it will be 233 feet
high.
Mrs. Merritt gave the council some
additional information regarding the
structure yesterday. 1t is part of his
plan to house the Sierra Madre club
in the building, place in it the finest
mining reference library in the world,
and make it noted center for min
ing men. He added that one room in
the cupola, which will be about twen-
ty feet square, will be furnished by
himself for his own use when he de-
sires to remain overnight in Los An
geles instead of returning to his home
in Pasadena.
These plans were told to the city
council yesterday and although the
legislation committee had unanimous
ly recommended his petition to in
crease the height of buildings be
denied Ind the majority of the cpun-
Gil was arrayed in favor of the com
mittees report, it wavered and one
more weeks time was taken for con-
sideration. The matter will come up
again at II o'clock next Tuesday
morning.
Mr. Merritt is so earnest in his de-
sire to build this structure that he
intimated If the council refused his
plea he would go to the people with
an initiative petition bearing the
amendment to the ordinance he de-
sires. That he would not encounter
much difficulty in securing many
names for such a petition was shown
by the names he submitted for the
consideration of the council yesterday.
GETS sIGNERs EASILY
Monday Mr.. Merritt learned that the
report of the committee would be ad-
verse to his desires and with two other
men he went to work to secure the
signatures of prominent business men
to a petition asking the council to in
crease the height of buildings. This
petition he submitted yesterday and
it bore the names of many bankers,
brokers, real estate firms, business
men of Broadway, Spring, Hill and
Main streets, and others who are gen
orally clasSed as prominent citizens.
One of the chief arguments that has
been advanced against increasing the
height of buildings is that 1t pro-
Vides room for more offices and more
people in the offices and these peo-
pie, pouring out at noon and at night,
congest the streets. But Mr.. Mer-
ritt's attorney said yesterday that
such an objection could not lie against
the particular building in question be-
cause the cupola was the only part
of the structure that exceeds the
height now allowed by ordinance and
this cupola would not aid in the con-
gestion as it would be reserved for
Mr.. Merritt's use when he desired it.
Mr.. Merritt declared that he want
ed to build this structure in Los An
geles, but that if he could not sue
ceed in doing so he would build 1t
in Portland and use the lot at Eighth
and Broadway, which he has chosen
for his marble memorial, for purely
commercial purposes.

70 REBELS SLAIN
IN MEXICAN FIGHT
Soldiers and InSurrectos Clash in
Cerrero Prieto, State
of Chihuahua
Associated Press1

LAREDO, Texas, Dec. 13.-seventy
Mexican revolutionists were killed and
a small number wounded in a battle
this Afternoon with federal troops in
Cerrero Prieto, state of Chihuahua, ac-
cording to telegram received tonight
by Miguel Deibold, Mexican consul at
Nueva Laredo, from Enrique Creel,
Mexican foreign minister.
The federals are said to have lost
fourteen men, including two officers.
Cerrero Prieto is a small station on
the Mexican Northeastern railroad, be-
tween Conception on the south and
Cosihuirachic on the north
Commenting on the situation, Consul
Deibold says: For some time an al
legged body of revolutionists have been
operating in the Chihuahua district.
They have caused the government no
alarm, however. and today's advices
received from an official source in the
capital in all probability means the
government has suppressed the rowing
bands that have been causing minor
disturbances"

Duel on the Street

PLACERVILLE, Cal, Dec. 49,
Frank Carpenter, rs, who has driven a
stage in every state and territory west
of the Missouri since his arrival in Old
Hangtown with an OK team in 1868, and
pony express rider for eighteen
months, yesterday related what is prob
ably the grimmest humor ever uttered
by Mark Twain.
Carpenter said that Twain had Just
arrived in Virginia City and had got
work as asreporter on the Virginia En-
terprise, and one day while Carpenter
was standing on the street talking to
another reporter they saw a fight half
a block away. Guns went into action
and one man dropped. Mark Twain
said:
"I'll bet you $40 he's dead, or Til bet
you $40 he's not"
1t turned out the man was dead
'At that time" said Carpenter,
MARK Twain little dreamed he would
ever dine with kings"

COOPER CASE DECLARED
FRAUD ON COMMONWEALTH
Fight Against Slayer of Senator
Carmack ReviveS

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 13.-A Pc
tition asking that the Davidson county
criminal court declare illegal and void
the proceedings by which the case
against Robin J. Cooper, charged with
the murder of Senator Edward Car
mack, was dismissed, was presented to-
day by all the attorneys who repre-
sented the state in the trial in which
Robin J. Cooper and his father, Dun
can B. Cooper, were convicted and by
Sam C. Carmack, brother of Senator
Carmack.
It charges that the effort to acquit
the defendant was a fraud upon the
state done without the knowledge of
any lawyer representing the state and
without conference with any witnesses
for the state.
Judge A. B. Neil refused to allow the
petition to be filed. The next move
will be to take the case before the su-
preme court on a writ of certiorari.

WOMEN BUSY IN
FIGHT FOR FUND
Orphans Home Society Hopes
Soon to Add Others to
HeraId's $500 Gift
ALUMNI GIRLS DRESS DOLLS
Young Woman Will Play Santa
Claus for Little Inmates
of the Asylum

The Los Angeles Orphans Home So
ciety has been busy making final ar
rangements for the campaign by which
1t hopes to raise $4,000 for the COM
pletion of it's new orphanage in Cole
grove. With $65,OOO in hand the wo~
men began the construction of the
building some time ago but the sum
is insufficient for their plans. 1t is
only to the generosity of the public
that they can look for aid as their
only regular source OF income is, they
declare, a pitifuly small amount from
the state. The only subscription made
so far is one of $500 from The Herald; T;
with this as a starter members OF the
finance committee express themselves
as being optimistic about the results
of the campaign.
"our first object in moving the
1ome," said Mrs. Clara d. Baker,
president of the society, 'is to give the
children under our care better moral
environments and a chance for outdoor
life. In our present home the only
place for them to play in the open
air is a small cement court, not very
attractive.
1--WE probably will not be able to ac-
comfnodate so many children in the
new quarters but the ones we do take
will be much better cared for. There
are very few paid positions in connec-
ton with our association. And let me
say right now that that is one reason
we get so little financial aid from the
state-it is hardly worth the polltl-
clans time to pay much money to an
institution which uses 1t for the pur-
pose of improving conditions instead or
paying salaries. 1t eliminates the
chances of giving positions to their
friends We have some paid work, OF
course, but none of the officers of the
society have ever drawn cent for
their work, and the home has been run
by unpaid workers for about twenty
five years"
NEW SCHOOL NEARBY
Mrs. E. A. Bryant, of the finance
committee, said:
zone of the best things about ene
new location is that there is brand
new school lust across from the rear
of our buildings. That will give our
orphans a chance to meet an elevating,
wholesome class of children which, In
itself. is an improvement on present
ARRANGEMENTS sufficient to warrant our
move"
outline of the plans of the new home.
I'm the future we hope to enlarge
tile place, but right now we are con-
dping our ambitions to putting up an
administration cottage, a girls cot
fape one for the boys and a nursery.
There seems to be an idea that we
intend to have a large hospital in con-
nection with the home. AS matter
of fact, we shall not have enough
money to put up pretentious hospital,
