street TAXES
Are AGAIN DUE
Policemen Are Notifying Citizens to
Call at City Hall and Settle,
Else Work on Streets.

The time to pay street taxes has
again arrived, and police officers are
now busily engaged in making the
rounds of the various wards, notify
ing citizens to call at the city hall
on specified date, ''to work the
streets of the city of Hattiesburg, as
the law directs, or in lieu thereof,
pay to the city tax collector the sum
of $500, which will exempt the payee
from all street duties for the period
of one year.
The notices which the police Off
GERS are leaving at the residences and
boarding places of Hattiesburg citi-
zens state that the city will furnish
all the necessary tools with which
to work the streets, and perhaps this
provision will furnish some gratifica-
tion to those who do not need such
tools in their daily occupations.
The law is such that street tax
may be collected of all male persons
between the ages of 1S and 60 years,
after the party has been notified that
such tax is due, provided the party
so notified shall have been a resi-
dent of the city for the period of
three days; provided, also, the party
cannot produce evidence that the tax
for the year has been paid elsewhere.
Last year Chief of Police Williams,
who is the street tax collector, had
very little difficulty in collecting this
tax, and expects to have still less
trouble this year. The policemen are
making a house-to-house canvas, and,
if you should receive a notice to call
and pay up or work on the streets,
the wise and proper thing to do is to
tions.

FATAL SHOOTING AT
BOND YESTERDAY
4 COMMISSIONER
OF AGRICULTURE
Will Probably Be Selected This After.
noon BY MIR. p. L. Moss, of
the U. S. Department.

b. l.. Moss, representing the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
Is in the city today for the purpose
OF selecting man whom he will rec
ommend as a suitable commissioner
OF agriculture of this county, and the
board of supervisors may act upon
his recommendation at its next meet
ing.
When the question of creating a
department of agriculture for Forrest
county was first discussed by the
board OF supervisors, Mr.. Moss was
IN the city and appeared before that
body. a which time he informed the
supervisors of the fact that the gov
ernment would bear half of the ex-
pense Of the department if the coun-
ty would bear the other half. This
proposition was agreed to, and Mr..
Mosss mission to Hattiesburg on this
occasion is to make good this propo-
sition and select a man, in behalf of
the government, whom he believes
will look after the duties of the of
flee in satisfactory manner.

WELL KNOWN NAVAL
STORES MAN KILLED
Both Men Had Been Intimate Friends
Up To The Time of the Fatal
QuarreI.--Autrey Surrenders.-De-
tails Of the Tragedy.

| Special to The NetDs.
Virgins, Miss, April 12.-Ben d.
Currie, prominent and wealthy tur-
pentine and naval stores operator of
Bond, station three miles north of
Bond at o'clock yesterday afternoon
and almost instantly killed.
Parties here who were at Bond at
the time of the shooting claim to
know very little of the details. The
shooting occurred at the barbershop
of Autrey. The first shots were fired
by Currie, the first taking effect in
Autry's shoulder and the other in his
thigh. After being wounded, it is
stated, Autry secrued a Savage rife
which was in the barbershop, and,
after Currie had stepped outside the
shop and upon the gallery, fired
| through the wall. The bullet and
splinters from the wall struck Currie
just beneath the heart. The bullet
did not only pass through the wall
and the body of Currie, but penetra-
ted the wall of building on the op-
posite side of the street.
Currie spoke only one sentence
after being shot, when he said: "He
has got me-"
There was only one witness pres
ent at the time of the shooting, a Mr.
Belch, who is bookkeeper for the
Virgins Turpentine Company, of
which Mr.. Currie was manager. Belch
states that over his protest Currie
returned to the barbershop after they
had started home from lunch, where
Mrs. Currie and three bright little
children were awaiting the husband
and father who never came.
After Autry discovered that his
shot had probably proved fatal, he
with great difficulty, walked by the
PROSTATE form of Currie and went
TO the home of John Williams, who is
deputy sheriff, and surrendered.
Autry and Currie We're the best of
friends up to this time, and had plan
ned to go together on a fishing expe-
dltion on yesterday afternoon. Au-
try is considered the best shot in
Harrison county.
Curries mother is said to be very
sick and has not been expected to
live. This news, it is feared, will re-
suit fatally.
Currie belonged to several fraternal
orders and is well liked. His remains
will be sent to a small town in South
Georgia, where he formerly resided.
Autry will be tried this afternoon
by W. ]. Evans, justice of the peace
at Bond. Great gloom is cast over
the community as result of the de-
plorable tragedy.

ately behind the fairfield BUILDING.
at IL o'clock this morning created
considerable excitement and caused.

but it is supposed to have Originated
from a defective fue Deputy SheriR
McGilvray was the first to discover
the flames, and, when first seen. they
appeared to have just started and had
gained but little headway.
Before the fire department could
reach the scene, however, the build
ing was almost enveioped in smoke
and fire, and hard work on the parf
of the firefighters was necessary 70
save the house and adjoining build
ings. Almost the entire interior ct
the building was afiame at one time.
and at first it seemed almost useless
to attempt to save the building. The
flames were soon under control. how
ever, and the damage will not exceez
probably $4,000.
None of the adjoining BUILDINGS
were damaged.

Travellers MAIL OUT
Hotel Regulations

special to The Nel0S.
Jackson, Miss, April 12.-Copies of
the new sanitary hotel law, recently
signed by the governor are being sent
out by the Mississippi Travellers to
the proprietors and managers of all
hostleries in the state, in order that
they may Immediately acquaint them
selves with its provisions.
This measure, while in no sense
radical or stringent, is regarded as
one of he most notable reforms in
auSurated at the present session of
the lawmaking body, insofar as the
comfort and convenience of the tray
cling public is concerned, and that
it will serve a good purpose in teach
ing the lesson that cleanliness is
next to eodliness," is the confident
belief OF the Mississippi Travellers.
One OF the provisions of the law is
for clean bed sheets. Hostleries are
required to change bed linen each
day in occupied rooms, provisions are
also made relative to screening in
fly time, and other needed sanitation
measures that are often conspicuous
by their absence in small hotels.
The Mississippi Travellers now have
over 500 members on their roll, and
the number is steadily increasing.
The annual convention will be held
at Columbus on the 25th of June.

CLIFFORD PINCHOT
FOR PRESIDENCY
Spectdl to The Ne1rS.

Special to The NeUs.
Washington, April 12.-Gifford Pin
cfot is candidate for president. If
Colonel Roosevelt does not cont est
the nomination with Taft at the next
Republican convention Pinchot will.
Though strenuous efforts are being
made to keep his intention secret un-
I'll the propitious time to announce
his candidacy, it leaked out here Mon.
day that high government official
who is close to Pinchot, says that the
former chief forester's visit to Colonel
roosevelt, which is scheduled to oc-
cur today at Porto Maurizio, Italy, is
TO learn if Roosevelt means to be a
candidate. and if not, Pinchot will ask
the former presidents support for his
own candidacy ~
This has caused great astonish
ment among administration ad
vlsers. Opinions are expressed
that Pinchot has decided to
seek revenge for his summary dis.
mlssal as chief forester by becoming
presidential candidate against Taft
II is believed he intends to emulate
Governor Brown of Georgia, who was
hred" asrailroad commissioner Gov
ernor Hoke Smith, and who retaliated
later by defeating Smith for governor
Plnchot's friends say he is sure to
OBTAIN the support of all dissatisfied
elements in the Republican party, in
ciuding the congressional insurgents
ana all who support Roosevelt's con-
servations policies.
indiana and Iowa Republicans and
the whole West are said to be ready
to support his candidacy.

Investigation to Close.

When the state senate took recess
at l o'clock this afternoon indications
were that the Bilbo-Dulaney bribery
investigation will be brought to a
close tonight or early Thursday morn
ing. The effort of counsel against
Bilbo was to prove that, if he was
offered and did accept a bribe of
S645 from Mr.. Dulaney to change his
vote from Vardaman to Percy, it was
not with a worthy motive. Counsel
for the senate also introduced addi-
tional evidence attacking Bilbo's gen.
eral character, but no testimony was
introduced retiecting on his personal
virtue.
1t has not yet been decided wheth-
er to argue the case or submit the
question without debate This will
be determined after all rebuttal testi-
mony has been offered.
Two witnesses testified this morn
ing as to Bilbo's bad reputation in
the community where he lives. One,
bank director from Poplarville. tes-
titled that Bilbo has never paid the
note on which he borrowed money to
meet campaign expenses three years
ago.
Bribe Money Exhibited.
The alleged bribe money was ex-
hibited before the snate this morning
by Sheriff Harding of Kinds county,
and was carefully scrutinized. Coun.
sci for the senate seemed to attach
some Importance to the discovery
that the package of money contained
three $40 bills issued by the National
Bank of Poplarville; located in Bill
bos home town, upon which circum-
stantial evidence the enemies of the
Senator Pilbo predicate that he did not
get the money from Duaney. as he
claims to have done. but drew it from
the Poplarville Bank. That if the
money had been obtained in any 9TH
er section of the state it would not
have been likely to contain Poplar
vile currency. On the other hand.
Bilbo's friends and counsel say that
this is mere coincidence. That
bank of currency bills circulate every
where; that to receive a bill on the
National Pank of Poplarville in a
business transaction in New York.
would not be remarkable 1t is quite
possible, too, Senator Bilbo's friends
say, that the bribe-giver might have
taken some pains to obtain some
Pank of Poplarville bills for this pur-
pose, in order to be in manner pre-
pared for an awkward situation like
this.
