TEXAS NATIONAL
Guard DISRUPTED
over MANLEY CASE
Several Officers Have Resigned And
Three Companies Requested That
They Be Mustered Out.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. S.-With three
line officers and four company Off
GERS having rendered their resigna-
tions and three companies urgently
requesting the Governor to muster
them out, the Texas National Guard
is practically demoralized as the re-
suit Of the recent conviction of Ser
geant Manley, of Company e, who
bayonetted and killed a spectator dur
ing President Taft's visit to Dallas
a year ago. Manley was given life
sentence in the penitentiary.
His own company promptly asked
to be relieved from further military
duty, and this action was Immediately
followed by the crack Kirby rife
company OF Austin and Captain
Geers' company at Beaumont. Other
companies were expected to take sim
liar action this week. Much specula-
tion has been aroused by the report
that an agent of the Judge advocate
generals of the United States army
has been in Dallas to investigate the
Manley case.
1t is said by some that the Federal
government may interfere in behalf
Of the convicted soldier. Manley is
a rug maker and his family is prac-
tically destitute. National guardsmen

yers.
Several officers have been induced
to hold up their designations tenn
porarily by the adjutant general.

New York, Nov. S.-Under date of

World, which is printed this morning:
Il see the statement in Sundays
papers that the attempt to make peace
between the express companies and
their men failed on the one point that
the men demanded that he union be
recognized by the companies and the
companies refused. This is not the
case. On the contrary, on my urgent
request, the men withdrew their de-

you see this demand is omitted in the
paper they submitted and nothing is
asked except that no one be discrim-

annie De HART IS
OFF FOR DALLAS
Member of Family Of Desenerates Is
taken to Texas In Order to Give
Her Chance to Reform.

The departure this morning for Dal-
las, Tex, of the unfortunate white
girl, Anna De Hart, marked another
chapter in the history of a family of
degenerates who were in this city for
several months. Because of her de-
plorable condition, deep pity for the
girl had been aroused so that con-
tributions for her care came spon-
taneously. The ladies of the Home
Mission Society of Broad Street NJ.
e. church, who had taken charge of
the matter, succeeded yesterday in
raising $55, the sum needed for the
transportation of the girl and an at
tendant.
Tears rolled down the cheeks of
the girl yesterday afternoon as she
told the pitiful story of a degraded
life in which every environment had
drawn her downward. 81 do want to
be different" she said "and whether
you believe it or not, l was once a
church member. Folks laughed at
me and made such fun of the church
that l just got away from the few
who were good. l will go to that
place they are sending me.
IF I can get with people who are
good | just know l can and will be
good.
Il can't tell how to thank the ladies
who have come out here and gotten
me out of the farm. / will try to be
different"
A city official, whose interest in the
case was aroused, told this morning
of the coming to Hattiesburg early
last spring of a family of degenerates
representing three generations. He
was called to the place because of an
attempt at suicide by the grand
mother. It was a hovel, he declared,
beyond description. The old woman,
he three daughters anu lWo Sidhu
children bore all the earmarks of de-
generacy. Anna De Hart was one OF
the daughters, he said, and he was
not surprised to learn of her sentence
TO the farm. From all accounts, the
other members of the group have left
the city, leaving the unfortunate girl
to serve her sentence, which ended
Saturday when the pardon was re-
ceived from Governor Noel.
Mrs. Dan Gillian and Mrs. B. F.
Maxwell, active members of the Home
Mission Society, had charge of the
subscription and secured the entrance
of the girl into Bethany Home at Dal-
las, Texas.

Mr.. Tobin's statement continues:
''If anything is going to be done we

.FAVORABLY IMPRESSED
FORREST COUNTY PEOPLE
One OF The Best, Most Comprehensive
And Thoroughly Logical Political
Speeches Ever Delivered in Hat
tiesburg.-A Mastery Effort.

For nearly two hours yesterday
afternoon United States Senator Le-
roy Percy held the undivided atten-
tion of upwards of five hundred citi-
zens who crowded the circuit court
room in the Court House until stand
ing room was to be had only in the
corridors. His speech was re-
markable one, evoking at times
spontaneous applause from practically
the entire audience, scores of whom
could be hardly classed among his
supporters. Coming to the city an
entire stranger he won within the time
allotted for his speech the admiration
of hundreds. Viewed without bias or
partisan favor Senator Percy's clear
cut, logical presentation of his candi-
daey exacted from all who heard him
the tribute of high praise.
Possessing remarkably clear
voice, held in almost perfect control
he literally poured his speech upon
his hearers, every expression being
marked by a dynamic energy seldom
sustained for such a long period by
public speakers. Satire and ridicule
were used mercilessly almost con-
tinuously, yet never bitterly and nev.
er so as to arouse antagonism from
the audience.

OFFICER
OUELLS A RIOT
Representatives of Four Nations Par.
tieipated in Disturbance on Mobile
Street Last Night.

Officer Norwood, of the city police
department, had the unusual expert
ence of presiding over a congress OF
nations last night when he quelled an
incipient riot on Mobile street about
o'clock.
According to Officer Norwood there
was something doing when he arrived
on the scene. Two Mexicans, a Span
lard, half, dozen Italians, ten or
twelve Syrians and about forty negroes
appeared to be engaged in free-for-all
disturbance, and the officer waded in
to see what it was all about.
Mr.. Norwood made his way into the
| center of the crowd of excited foreign
er and discovered a Mexican hot ta-
male vendor by the name of Manuel
Reubino in the middle of melee from
which he appeared to be unable to ex.
tricate himself. Invectives spoke in
four different languages, were being
hurled promiscuously into the air. and
the officer was compelled to go by
sight and not by sound.
Reubino appeared to occupy the
center of the stage, and as the officer
approached the excited Mexican pulled
of his coat and hat, dug down into
his pocket and pulled out revolver
which he handed to the officer, and
announced: "Mexicano man vhip
| whole d--d crowd
Just what the trouble was about NO
one could tell. Officer Norwood took
hold of Reubino and attempted to ex-
tricate him from the conglomerated
mass of variegated humanity. A pal
OF Reubino caught the latter by the
legs, throwing the officer and his pris-
oner to the ground. Norwood had the
Mexican's gun in his hand, all The
while trying to put it in his great coat
pocket; in the meantime the Mexicans.
Italians and Syrians kept up an inde-
scribable hubbub.
Mr.. Norwood finally succeeded in
dragging his man from the crowd and
conveyed him to the city Jail. This
| morning he was tried on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons and for
drunkenness, to both of which charges
he pleaded guilty.
Reubino, not being able to make
himself understood by the court. a
member of The News staff who speaks
Spanish volunteered to act as inter-
prefer The Mexican explained that
he was carrying the gun merely for
protection, as he was afraid someone
would do him harm. He had been
robbed recently in Jackson, and feared
the occurrence would be repeated in
Hattiesburg. He had no intention OF
violating the law, and begged the mer-
cy of the court
In disposing of the case Judge Da-
Wis announced that he would be as
light upon the culprit as the law would
permit, and fined him s25 on the con.
cealed weapon charge and 50 so on the
drunkenness charge. Reubino has
hopes of raising the necessary amount
OF money with which to pay the fine,
and the police department is disposed
to allow him every opportunity to do
so.
