DlSCRIM lNATION CHARGED
BY CHINESE OFFICIALS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA COM
plaint was lodged yesterday with the
authorities at the Angel Island immigra-
ton station alleging discrimination in
the treatment of Chinese as compared
with Japanese and people of other ma
tionalities who pass through the de-
partment. The protest followed a visit
to the station by Chinese Consul General
Ii wung Yu and a committee from the
Chinese six companies in this city. 1t
was charged that the Japanese and
Hindus admitted through the station
are treated better in every way than
are the Chinese, and the consul stated
he would so notify his government. The
immigration officials declared that there
was no discrimination practiced.

ARENA IS CLEARED
FOR BITTER FIGHT
At BRITISH POLLS
Election Battle Will Be Short
and Sharp and Two Parties
Have Laid Their Cards on
the Table


LONDON, Nov 19.-With the delivery
of Premier Asquith's speech, declaring
the policy of the government following
as it did Mr.. Balfour's outlining of the
Unionist policy earlier in the week, the
two parties in the political contest have
laid their cards on the table. The nght
will be short and sharp and from the at
titude of the politicians who have al
ready taken the platform, as bitter as 1t
will be short.
When the failure of the vote confer
ence was announced, all signs favored
the government candidates, just fresh
from their successes In the bye-electionS.
Good trade returns increase the popular
ity of free trade while the Unionists.
disorganized, had apparently lost heart.
some of their newspapers even predict
ing their defeat should an election ensue.
The approach of the dissolution of
parliament, however, restored their con-
fldence and although a section of the
part which a few weeks ago advocated
federal home rule is finding 1t awkward
to recant, the ranks generally have been
reformed.
HOUSE OF LORDS FIGHT.
The house of lords naturally is the
foremost question on which the election
will be fought. section of the Union
lists, made up of cid tories, is unwilling
to accept Mr.. BalfourS Scheme Tor the
reform of the upper chamber, particular
ly owing to the elimination of the hered-
itary principle by the influence of the
men who comprise this section will have
but little effect
plank of Importance in the Unionisr
platform is in opposition to home rule
and "the use of American dollars to de-
stroy the British constitution" The
latter cry has lost some force through
the publication of a statement that only
the sum of $4,000 was collected by the
Irish leader, one-third of which came
from Canada, the subscription list In
that country being headed by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the premier.
The Unionists opened their tariff re-
form campaign in the manufacturing
districts when the crisis was reached and
hoped to be given time to make APP
probable inroads on the Liberal strong
holds. Dissolution interviewed and i'm
proved business conditions tended
against the success of this plan.
The Liberals are full of confidence in
their policy for the abolition of the
ment's social legislation.

PARLIAMENT WILL BE
DISSOLVED NOV. 20

LONDON, Nov. H.-An apparently
inspired statement issued today fixes
November % as the date for the dissolu-
ton of parliament. The government, 1t
is asserted, designs to pass the budget
before appealing to the country, the de-
bate on the financial measures proceed
ing in the house of commons while the
lords are discussing the veto bill. That
the American dollar and the Irish dicta-
tor will figure largely in the Unionist
campaign was indicated by the excite
ment at the annual conference Of con-
sentative associations at Nottingham
this morning, when Henry Chaplin.
Unionist member of parliament for VIM
bledon and former president Of the local
government board, in an opening speech
denounced the government, which he
said was handing over the rule OF the
country to 1.-THE sworn enemy of Eng
land, who, with the gold of foreign mill
lionaires aspires to dictate our destinies."

GRASS FIRE COSTS
FIREMEN A LONG RUN.

Fire company No. 1 was compelled
to make another long, tedious and use
less run at IL o'clock this morning,
when someone turned in an alarm
from Hardy street. The alarm was
answered promptly and 1t was neces-
sary to make an uphill run Of nearly
three-quarters of mile. When the
fire laddies reached the scene they
we're disgusted to see a small plot Of
dry grass burning very harmlessly.
According to Chief Potter, these
false alarms are becoming very aggra-
waiting to the department, as many
long and unnecessary runs have been
made recently because of them.

after A Long RUN
fine CAR REACHES CITY

Mr.. w. H. Florentine, agent for the
Cadillac machine, arrived this morn
ing from Mobile with his handsome
new 1911 touring car.
Mr.. Florentine states that he got
credit for almost running down DR..
Donald on his last visit her and de-
priving Hattiesburg of a good mayor
and first-class citizen, while at the
time the incident occurred he was
back in Mobile. On that last trip,
Mr.. Florentine states, he left a Ca
dillac car here, and has learned since
his return that few joy riders had
this car out on the night DR.. Donald
was so badly frightened.
Mr.. Florentine belongs to a COM
mittee of automobilists in Mobile,
who make it point to have all reck-
less automobilists arrested and last
week had two of these speed-marvels
taken in by the officers. They do this
for their own protection, for they
realize that reckless driving would
soon bring about most stringent laws
The machine in which Mr.. Floren-
tine reached the city is beauty. The
meter registers 1918 miles for the IA
days II has been away from Mobile.
Mr.. hampton, of Magnolia, who pur-
chased fine car in Mobile, was
piloted by Mr.. Florentine to Hatties-
burg and is spending the day here.

SIX MONTHS ON THE FARM
COURT GIVES LIGHT SENTENCE

Ray Sims and T. J. George, the
young lads who were convicted in the
circuit court yesterday on a charge
of larceny, have been sentenced to
one year each on the county farm, six
months of the sentences, being sus-
pended by the court on account of
the tender age of the boys.
1t will be remembered that several
months ago these lads were arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Dan McGilvray for
entering the plant of the Lignum Prod
uct company and taking away brasses
which they were alleged to have sold
to junk dealers.
After the jury had rendered a ver-
dict of guilty, Messrs. Clyde R. Con-
ner, Neil Currie and E. A. Anderson,
attorneys for the defendants, made a
motion for a rehearing of the case, but
the application was over-ruled by the
court and sentence pronounced upon
the boys yesterday afternoon.

RAISE School TAX
TO GIVE CHILDREN
FULL nine MONTHS
Council Passes Levy For Coming Year
And Helps Out Schools And
Hamper Park.

At the council meeting last night,
the general tax levy for the year 1911
was fixed at twelve mills, apportioned
as follows: General fund, 1-3 mills;
school fund, lilo mills; bond sinking
fund, IA mill; park improvement fund,
12 mill; interest on bonds, $40
mills; interest on school house bonds,
4-10 of one mill
After going over the various petit
tions of citizens asking that the board
increase the school appropriation, the
board adjudged that sufficient num-
Der of tax payers had signed the petit
tion, and the levy was accordingly in
creased to 8 10 mills.
This will be very gratifying news to
patrons of the city schools, as it was
feared that a sufficient number of sig
natures could not be obtained to war
rant an increase in the school appro-
priation. The action of the council
in raising the appropriation means
that the schools will run for a full
nine months term, and that the in
terest on school house bonds will be
paid out of the school fund, without
increasing the general tax levy.
1t will also be noticed that the park
improvement appropriation was in
creased one-fourth of mill, or double
what it was last year. This means
that the park commission will be able
to make necessary improvements al
Hamper Park next year.

TO MAKE
SOIL SURVEY SOON
FORREST COUNTY
Congressman Bowers Secures ,Neces-
sary Authority for the Work
Which Will Start Soon.

Congressman Eaton ]. Bowers, of
the sixth district, has notified the Com
mercial Club that he has finally Sc
cured an appropriation from the fed
eral government for a soil survey of
Forrest county, and has asked for
some data with reference to public
roads and streams of the county.
This is gratifying news to the peo-
pie of this community, as a survey of
the soil of the county, with the view
to determining the value of the lands
for various agricultural purposes, min
eral deposits, oil, etc, is a thing which
has long been wished for and greatly
needed in the development of the re-
sources of the county.
For many years it has been the opin-
ion of many people of this section that
deposits of mineral and perhaps oil
were lying idle and waiting for de-
velopment, but no one was willing to
risk an expenditure of money in an
effort to unearth these treasures un-
less the survey of the soil had first
been made by the government.
Mr.. Bowers letter did not intimate
at what time the survey would be
made; in fact, there are a number OF
details yet TO be furnished the au
thorities at Washington before the
work is actually commenced, but these
will be forwarded to Mr.. Bowers as
soon as possible and it is expected
that engineers will be sent here early
next year for the purpose of making
a preliminary survey.
