A CONSPIRACY.
SAYS TAWnEY
Cfiticises Report o
Army Situation.


Washington, Dec. 16.-The situation
in official circles over Secretary Of
Wa Dickinson's suppressed reports on
the unpreparedness Of the national de-
lenses has become more bitter. Rep
resentative James A. Tawney of Min
nesOta, chairman of the house appro-
priations committee, charges that a
conspiracy exists between the various
departments and military enthusiasts
in congress to create a nation wide
sentiment in favor of big %appropria-
tons for army and navy purposes.
Mr.. Tawney's statement explains the
activity of the congress leaders, sup
ported by President Taft, in bringing
about the suppression of the so called
sensational Dickinson reports.
"The war department" Mr.. Tawney
said, "has Joined In an effort to Hob
sonize the entire country"
Taft Wants No Report.
The Tawney statement was only ona
of several interesting developments
that occurred. The White House an
nouneed after President Taft had con-
ferred with Secretary Dickinson and
Senator Root, who formerly was at
the head of the war department, that
no report whatever Will be sent to the
house in response to the McLachlen
resolution calling for a statement of
the condition Of the national d~efenses.
Later there were further confer
ences at the White House, and an an
nouncement that another report-the
third in the series that has been pre-
pared by Secretary Dickinson-will be
sent to the house. This announcement
was made by Secretary Dickinson him
self after he had had a talk with the
president. 1t Is supposed that Mr..
Dickinson objected to the embarrass-
ing situation in which he would find
himself If he finally had to abandon
his intention of sending In a report
after two unsuccessful trials.
Wood to Aid Dickinson.
Accordingly he and Major General
Wood, chief of staff, Immediately set
tied down to draft a third statement
on the condition of the national de-.
Tense. This report will eliminate the
data and opinions of a sensational
character that were objected to in the
other and apparently will be harmless.
1t Is expected that the third report
will be finished today.
While Mr.. Tawney was talking Hob
son and conspiracy and the White
House was holding conferences the
military enthusiasts in the house, nota.
bly, those from the Pacific coast, were
airing their opinions on the military
conditions of the United States.
Mr.. McLachlen, author of the reso-
luton that has stirred up the trouble,
was quoting General Adna Chaffeei
Admiral Bob Evans and other authorL
ties on views which they had confded
to him on the dangers from the 'yel
low PERIL 1t was the talk of these
men, according to Mr.. McLachlen, thai
inspired him to introduce his trouble
some. resolution.

MAY COMPROMISE BIG SUIT.
Settlement of Case Against Lumber
CompanV in Prospect.

Settlement of Case Against Lumber
Company in Prospect.
While no official statement has been
issued on the subject indications seem
good for a compromise of the litiga-
ton between the state of Mississippi
and the Edward Kinds Lumber COM
pany, that will be satisfactory to all
concerned.
The corporation is charged with a
technical violation of the corporation
holding clause of the Mississippi
statutes, which prohibits the holding
of more than two million dollars
worth OF lands.
1t Is understood that compromise
terms have been proposed by the COM
pany that are viewed with much favor
by the state authorities, who say that
they have no disposition to be unjust
with the lumber company, or to take
any action that will retard the growth
and development of the state.
The Edward Hines Lumber Com
pany has made surveys for new rail
road to be built from Poplarville to
Gulfport, and also for the construction
of steel piers and wharves at Gulfport
that will involve an expenditure of
more than two million dollars. 1t is
also proposed to build one Of the lar
gest lumber manufacturing plants in
the world, and to launch a plan for
the colonization of cut-over lands in
vO1viUO an outlay 0f Ovor 45 000 0n0
and which will bring several thousand
Industrious white settlers to the state
to engage in agricultural and indus
trial pursuits.
Negotiations for the settlement are
still in progress, and it is believed
they will be consummated within the
next thirty days.

Three Counties Show Decrease.

Three out of four South Mississippi
counties which have filed their per-
sonal assessment rolls with State
Auditor Smith, show slight decrease,
as compared with last year. Marion
is the exception, and this county
shows slight gain.
The counties that show decrease
are Lincoln, Lawrence and Greene.
In Lincoln, the reduction Is due to
the removal of the Fernwood Lumber
Company's plant, though the differ
ence is but slight. The assessment
this year is $2,201,SSS, against 81
679,814 in 1909.
Lawrence county shows 1880, as
against $746,024 last year.
Greene county, for this year., is
$402 ,O08, against $641,214 last year.
But the decrease in Greene county is
due to the fact that part of that
county was cut off to create the coun-
ty of George. Jackson county, a part
of which was taken for the new coun-
ty. has not been received, and this
county may also show slight de-
crease
Marion county shows gain which
amounts to almost as much as the
three other counties lost. The per-
sonal assessment this year is 1884,
400, as compared with $874.115.
Lincoln county shows a decrease of
$6S,941 Lawrence, $S.O74; Greene.
1923 ,206.
Marion's increase is $120,205, while
the loss of the other three counties
is $316,221, leaving total loss of
$195,961, most of which will be re-
gained when George county's assess
ment is received.

Declares He viIIifies the State Gov

That Gov. Noel does not believe Mr..
Bilbo to be entitled to the use of
any state property in or upon which
to take his stand for the delivery of
his speeches, is indicated in the fol-
lowing statement, which he left with
Private Secretary Buck, to be given
to the press:
CAS- Bilbo villifies each of the three
departments of government, the legis-
lature, the governor and the supreme
court, including the supreme Judge
whose appointment he Endorsed the
day before it was made, it is not
right that the property of the state
should be used as place for the
villifcation of those entrusted by the
people of the state with its highest
offices. Especially is this true as to
Bilbo, who escaped impeachment by
but one vote, and was denounced by
that department of the government
of which he is a member, and with
but one dissenting vote, as an un-
fit associate for decent people and
as an unworthy occupant Of the office
he holds. Of course, this does not pre-
vent BiIbo's speaking in Jackson or
elsewhere on property not in the Gus
tody of those whom he villifies."

NOEL BUYS A FARM.
Property Of Mrs. J. s. Allen Adjoining
Parchman Place.

Parchman Place.
Governor Noel borrowed the neces-
sary amount to pay for the additional
80 acres of land, the property of Mrs.
j. S. Allen, adjoining the principal
state farm at Parchman, under au-
acts of 1910. The first mentioned act
authorized the executive to borrow
not exceeding $4,000, at a rate not
exceeding 6 per cent interest, for the
purchase of additional lands, while
the latter authorizes the board of
trustees to purchase not exceeding
1000 acres, anywhere within the
state for cultivation by the state con-
victs." AS to the main body of the
land required by the trustees, that
matter is still in an indefinite stage,
and is now pending before the board,
which 1t is believed will reach con-
clusion shortly. The act specified also
that such land as acquired must not
cost the state more than $25 per acre,
at an average price, but there was
tract, known as the ]. s. Allen tract,
adjoining the Parchman place, which
abutted onto and into the state prop
erty In such way as to destroy the
even configuration of the state prop
erty line. AS to this particular piece
of land the act (chapter 1861 says:
Provided, that should said board
of trustees of the Mississippi state
penitentiary deem it advisable to pur-
chase the J. s. Allen tract, adjoining
the Parchman farm, in Sunflower
county, consisting Of" describing the
lot in formal terms) that they may
purchase said tract as a part of said
1000 acres, provided for in this act,
at maximum price Of not exceeding
$3.50 per acre."

Here's a Good Farmer.

1t Is rather curious that northern
farmer, one who has lived here but a
few years, should be the first to mar
ket bale Of this years cotton, raised
in Kinds county, at Jackson, but that
is what M. w. Curry did day or two
since. The bale weighed 558 pounds
and sold for 15c. Mr.. Curry came to
Jackson 10 or II years ago and pur-
chased an old WORKOUT farm 8 miles
west of town. On this he went to
work with a determination to make it
sustaining, and he has managed to do
better than that. One of the first
things he did was to set out few
thousand peach trees, and from these
he has since sold thousands of bush
els at good prices. He has raised cot
ton and corn successfully, rotating
his crops with peas so that his land
has improved year by year instead of
deteriorating. He has planted largely
of oats, and this year threshed more
than 5000 bushels, for which he found
ready sale on the local market.

Would Aid WooIgrowers.

The Farmers Union has extended a
very cordial invitation to the wool
growers of the state to use their great
warehouses for the storage of wool,
provided they wish to hold it for bet
ter prices, and guaranteeing to them
the same treatment and fair dealing
that has characterized the manage
ment in its dealings with the cotton
raisers. Wool has been selling at
ridiculously low prices, it is said, be-
ing but or cents better price than
is being paid for cotton.

Royal Comes Back.

Hon. T. M. Henry, insurance COM
missioner, has admitted to Mississip-
pi the Royal Exchange Assurance
Company of London, one of the strong
insurance corporations which saw fit,
some years back, to withdraw from
the stae at time when several 9TH
ers of the same class stepped down
and out. Mr.. Henry regards this
movement of the big companies for
readmission to Mississippi as an in
dication of returning confidence, and
the fact that hey see better times
ahead and are not afraid to risk the
venture again.
