STOP MONEY.sHTPPING LEAK.

Secretary MacVeagh has devised 9 new
method of handling currency redeemed
at the sub-treasuries which eventually
will save the Government $500, 600 a
year. The same amount of money will
be lost to The United S ates Express
Company, which has been transporting
this currency under a contract drawn
when Thomas c. Plat was head of thie
comp ny and at the height os his polit.
ical power, but he is dead now.
Recently Secretary MacVeagh ran
across this contract, andthe charge of
40 cents for each 81 900 struck him as too
much for hauling redeemed notes from
the sub-trC asuries TO Washington,
Arrangements were made with the Post
Office Department, which now trans
ports the Cancelled currency by register
ed nail from New York to Washington
for only fra .tion of cent a thousand.
So far the Government has saved SI25
day.
1t Is learned that the Treaoury Depart
ment proposes to extend the same system
to other sub treasury cities, whereby it
is expected to save in the neighborhood
OF $500. 900.

GROWTH OF ZfONI3M.

According to David Wolfsobn, a Co
logne banker and one of the leaders Of
the Zionist movement, many Jews are
being repatriated from the United Sta es
to Palestine. Herr Wolffsohn, who 10
now in London, said that Eionism is
growing with tremendous strides; that
the society has membership exceeding
$50, 600, and that finally the condition Of
the society is more than encouraging.
Wolffsohn says:
"Pslestine is already becoming a
favorite colony for Jews. There are any
number of London Jews among the col J..
nists, and even Jews from prosperous
New York also abandon the commerce
of the West for jerusalem. Religious
Jews endeavor in their old age to make
pilgrimage to Palestine, so that they
may be buried in the Holy Land. The
modern Jew, however, does not 60 to
Palestine to die bat to live. We have
now got $500, coo together, and every
day convinces me that the Jew is as
passionately enthusiastic about Palestine
as his home as ever"

Brief Sketch OF
COMPANY'S HISTORY
Meeting Held at First National Bank
Of Commerce This Afternoon Will
Doubtless Settle Rates Question
for Hattiesburg.

In order that those interested, and
the public generally, might be relia-
bly, informed with reference to the
proposition submitted to citizens of
Hattiesburg and business interests of
this city by the Mississippi Valley
Transportation Company, and that the
intents and purposes of the organiza-
tion may be made more familiar to
those who have been approached
by its representative with a PROPOSE
tion to subscribe to its capital stock,
News representative yesterday af-
ternoon interviewed Mr.. w. Fl. Moser.
the gentleman who is now in the city
and looking after that feature of the
company's business.
According to Mr.. Moser, the Missis-
sippi Valley transportation Company
has put itself to some trouble and ex-
pense and established a precedent in
sending a representative to Hatties-
burg for the purpose of interesting
local business interests and private
capital in its affairs, which, il accept
ed, will solve a problem which has
always been a menace to the growth
and prosperity of this city-namely,
the securing to Hattiesburg freight
rate which will place it on a parity
with Meridian and Jackson, and ena-
BILE its wholesale and jobbing interests
IL tc:..r tine neid vt competition on
an equal basis with like concerns do
ing business in this territory.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-03-02
Hattiesburq an Exception.

This is absolutely the first and
only instance where our company has
made an effort to induce citizens of
an interior town to take stock in the
corporation said Mr.. Moser, 'and
this was done on account of traffic
agreement which we have entered in
to with the Mississippi Central Rail-
road Company, and as a result of over
lures made by the Hattiesburg Com
mercial Club with view to a perma-
nent and satisfactory solution of the
freight rate problem for this town
Being familiar with the conditions
prevalent here and realizing the ex
tent of the burden under which Hat
tiesburg is laboring, we naturally con
cluded that any fair proposition which
we would make and which would have
tendency to relieve the situation
would be attractive to the business
interests of this city"
