EASTERN TRUNK LINES
TRYING FOR HIGHER RATES

New York, Nov. 21.-Investigation OF
the proposed advances in freight rates
by the Eastern trunk lines was re-
sumed in this city today by the inter

1t is expected that the taking of tes-
timony will be concluded at this hear
ing, and the presentation of final argu-
ments in the case has been set for
December IA. The commission is not
likely to announce a decision until
early in January, and possibly not till
February.

M'KENZIE FLED
FROM THE FLAMES
IN night ROBES
Narrow Escape Of Well-known Trav.
cling Man in Sunday Morning
Blaze on Main Street.

Hot ashes, switch engine and a
oadiy frightened man played star
role in an early morning fire Sunday
on North Main street near the Mis-
sissippi Central crossing.
Shortly after $50 o'clock, the engi-
neer of switch engine standing near
the crossing, noted flames bursting
out OF the roof of the two-story frame
mouse occupied by Henry Mckenzie
and F. |. Ames, in the 1000 block. In
moment his hand was on the whistle
ana the fire depe rtment received a
noisy call. Reaching the place the
hremen had a hard battle to subdue
the blaze which had spread over the
al,ic ard was bursting from several
parts of the roof at the same time. 1t
was said that bucket of hot ashes
left on the back porch late Saturday
night had set fire to the side of the
house and the flames creeping up the
side of the house had gained consid-
cradle headway before being noticed.
Henry Mckenzie, a traveller for the
Simmons Hardware company, of ST.
Louis, who, with his wife. occupied
the second story when awakened by
the firemen, attempted to get out by
way of the back porch. As he opened
the door, the flames closed about him,
painfully burning his face, feet and
back and causing him great agony.
Mrs. Mckenzie had already made her
escape from the burning building and
Mr.. Mckenzie lost no time in reaching
the street in his night clothes, wear
ing a coat, but minus his trousers.
Friends came to his rescue, but not
until the frightened man had attract
ed no little attention. Mr.. Mckenzie
is at the Hotel Hattiesburg and is
suffering considerably from his burns
That he escaped more serious injury
was miraculous since he had stepped
into the flames before he realized his
danger.
The building, which was erected re-
Gently and had only been occupied a
few days, is vauled at $4,000, and is
owned by G. c. Eure and others. Mr..
Simmons lost all of his furniture and
clothing. Insurance for $3.50 is car
ried by Collins & King. Mr.. Ames
lost his furniture by water damage.
He carried insurance with P. L. Gas
tin for $1,000. The building is con-
siderably damaged

time.
In the city court today the injured
man, A. A. Huber, a G. & S. /. ma
chinist, showed his face as evidence.
1t was enough. There were bruises,
cuts and bumps in as many places as
they could be planted. His body it
was said by witnesses, had almost as
many decorations.
J. N. Winn, a machinist at New
mans, was the star performer and
puncher. A witness said he punched
Huber one way and then tother and
when the man fell kicked him off the
platform. Winn admitted only to
kicking "at" Huber.
]. Y. McCloskey, a machinist at
watkins. who sought to play peace
maker, was pulled by the constable
and took a rest in jail. w. E. McKin-
ney. still another machinist, was

against Pool. Both have been arrest
ed and have given bond for their ap-
pearance at the present term of the
court. The date for the trial has not
been fixed, but it is expected that the
cases will be called during the present
week.
Rumors Reach Judge.
During the past several months re-
ports have been filtering in to the au-
thorities in Hattiesburg that condi,
tions on the county farm were any
thing but satisfactory, and in his re-
cent charge to the grand jury Judge
Johnson called special attention to
these alleged evils, asking that they
be thoroughly investigated. How well
the grand jury complied with this re-
quest is evidenced by their official
action in bringing in five separate in
dictments against those in charge of
the farm.
ConVicts BrutalIy Flogged.
While the preGentments against Cul-
pepper and Pool allege only assault
and battery, it has been quite freely
intimated that the offenses charged
to them were of most brutal and un-
thinkable nature; that for the .merest
offenses, county prisoners have been
numerically flogged and maltreated,
and that for fear of further punish
ment they have submitted to this sort
of treatment until in some instances,
it became unbearable, and the facts
were brought to light.
1t became known that one convict,
a trusty, who had been nogged repeat
edly, became desperate and slipped
into the city and revealed the facts
in connection with the handling of
prisoners on the farm. This man
begged that his name be withheld,
as he feared further punishment
should it become known that he had
informed against his keepers.
Woman Showed Scars.
Another convict, a woman, slipped
through the lines and brought story
of brutality that would shock the SEN
sibilities of the most callous. Not
only did this woman relate a
horrifying tale Of cruelty, but
she barred portions of her body
and exhibited vicious scars where the
lash had cut deep into the flesh. These
scars, it is stated, were not only upon
the limbs, but were also plentiful on
vital parts of the body, and many of
them were not healed at the time the
woman made her statement
Both these prisoners, it is stated,
begged for mercy and protection, not
only for themselves, but for fellow con-
victs, many of whom, it was stated,
were subjected from time to time, to
like treatment.
While the indictments do, the final
report of the grand jury does not, OF
course. make any specific allegations
as to time and place and the parties
upon whom the assaults were alleged
to have been committed; but some OF
the grand jurors were bold to charge
that prisoners had been whipped un'
mercifully."
The indictments against Culpepper
and Pool, while not unexpected, have
caused considerable comment in this
city in view of the sensational charg-
es contained in the grand jury report.
