ination by attorneys for CLAWS and
others when the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigation was resumed yesterday.
The congressional committee will
meet o. four days this week in the
hope tliat the attorneys will conclude
their questioning of the secretary of
the int rior by that time.
Commissioner bennett of the gener-
al land office, and chief of the Field
Division Schwartz, will be the next
witness to take the stand for the de-
fense.
Attorney Barndies has requested
the committee to call upon President
Taft and through him upon Oscar
Lawler, assistant attorney general
for the interior department, for the
memorandum which Lawler took to
Beverly from Washington last Sep
tember and upon which the president S
letter generating Ballinger and dis
missing CLAWS was supposedly based.
Chairman Nelson informed Mr..
Brandies today that the matter had
not been acted upon owing to the linn
tied number of members present when
executive sessions We're held. Mr.
Brandies strongly intimated during
the cross-examination of Mr.. Balm
ger last Friday that the president had
not carefully weighed the CLAWS
charges himself, but had taken action
upon a memorandum prepared for
him by Mr.. Lawler.

I. N. FULLER FOR
COMMISSIONER
Another Prominent Citizen Enters
Race For Municipal Office Under
The Commission Form.

Mr.. T. NJ Fuller announces in this
issue of The News as a candidate for
Commissioner of the City of Hatties-
burg.
Mr.. Fuller has been a resident of
Hattiesburg for nearly twenty years
and is closely identified with the
city and its best interests, being
financially as well as personally in
terested in it's welfare. For fourteen
years Mr.. Fuller was local agent for
the North Eastern, and gave that
position a business administration
that commended him to both the pub
lie and the railway officials Resign
ing year or more ago on account of
ill health, Mr.. Fuller has been rough
ing it in measure; spending part
of his time on the road and part in the
woods, and has entirely recovered his
strength.
Mr., Fuller has always shown an in
telligent appreciation of public af-
fairs. He was for time Alderman
from the Fourth ward and gave that
position the same intelligent consid-
GRAFTON that he gave to the affairs of
the railway with which he was con-
nected. He is conscientious, active
and is particularly fitted, on account
of his knowledge of accounts. book
keeping and financial affairs, to dis
charge the duties of the office to
which he aspires. AS citizen he is
without reproach and numbers his
friends by the hundreds.

sent delegations to Mobile today to

question of division of the Alabama

the election resulting as follows:

L. w. Grove.
By unanimous agreement the num-
Der of directors was increased from
eleven to fifteen, and four extra men,
bers were accordingly chosen.
After the election of the new board
of Directors, that body went into ex-
ecutive session and proceeded to an
election of officers, with the follow
ing result:
President, I. s. Jackson; First Vice
President, II. A. Camp: Second Vice
President, T. A. Hightower; Third
Vice President, L. L. Mullinix The
election of a secretary was deferred
until later meeting, a committee
being appointed to make arrange
ments for the employment of this Of
ficer and instructed to report to the
directors at meeting to be held at
the Auditorium on Thursday night at
$50 O'Clock. Messrs. S. L. Heidel-

mittee.

President Jackson asked for report
of the committee which had been ap-
pointed to confer with committees of
the Retail Merchants Association and

pose of ascertaining the sentiments of
these bodies on the proposition to en-
ploy joint secretary for the three
organization and to prorate the sal
airy ard expense of maintaining an
office 1T a convenient place uptown.
The committee reported that the
was acceptable to these
associations, but they were unable
to report just what proportion of the
expense each could assume, a COM
plete canvas of the membership of
the organizations not yet having been
made. The report of the committee
was received, and the committee con-
tinued, with request that they make
a more complete report at an early
date.
Some informal discussion with ref

of the business men towards
it was indulged in by members. and
it was the consensus of opinion of

There is now a new play on the boards

advertised by the anti-Mead forces with a
uDanimity that leads to suspicion as to
its origin. Now let Us suggest in all can
dor that II those, who are staging this
comedy, are sincere in their expressed be-
lief that Mr.. Fleetwood is marching to
victory to the music of their whistling,

him, then why not let the majority rule
as it doubtless will, and instruct accord

parent effort on their part to get as many

their apparent support Of Mr.. Fleetwood
is hing but acting in the interest Of
some person now in hiding, or If this sur
mise is wrong then It is clearly apparent
that they have come to regard Mr..

HUGHES TO THE BENCH.

The elevation OF Charles f. Hughes t.
the federal supreme bench, while it in
sures a strong, virile character, fresl
from active life and the impress OF the
people, and with long years OF service in
the natural course, will be received with
mixed feelings by the fast-growing circle
Of the New York governors admirers.
Governor Hughes is already a national
figure and looms up large with potent
possibilities. Leaving out OF considera-
ton Roosevelt aud Taft, Hughes is Ger.
tsinly the strongest figure in the Republi.
can party today. He has taken a stand
for clean policies and clean politics in
New York that hss carried cheer to every
right-minded citizen, and his brave battle
for honor and justice has been winning
one because he was a sincere and consist.
ent leader. In this era OF graft and
knavery he is the Hercules to clean the
Augean stables He has done as much in
that direction as any man could do in
the same time, facing the obstacles he did.
His conduct has been consistent with his
character and pretentions. There seems
no flaw in his srmor Of righteousness.
He has high ability as an administrator,
withal, and personality that commands
respect.
Retiring with the highest need OF honor
from the governorship, be would certain
~ be considered in due season as a presi.
deutial possibility. The doors Of the
White House, in fact, seemed to open be-
fore him. Yet with this prospect be
