Score Of Lives
PROBABLY LOST
Fire Destroys Times Plant
at Los Angeles.
FIRE FOLLOWS EXPLOSION

Officials Of Publishing Company,
Which Operates on a Nonunion
Basis, Charge That Enemies OF In
dustriaI Freedom" Were Response
Bile for Disaster, but Employees Who
Escaped Report That the Smell of
Gas Pervaded the Building.
Los Angeles, Oct. 3.-A score of per-
sons are believed to have perished in
a fire which swept the building occu-
pied by the Los Angeles Times.
The fire followed an explosion in
the mechanical department of the
Times and rapidly spread throughout
the entire building. The building was
soon a mass of flames and firemen say
they believe many who attempted to
reach the windows fell back into the
blaze.
Immediately after the first explosion
a sheet of flame seemed to envelope
the entire building, sweeping upward
through the four-story structure. Be-
fore an alarm could bring the fire ap-
paratus series of sharp detonations
shook the neishborLood for blocks
Employees who had just left the
buildinr when tho explosion occurred
say that gas had been leaking some
where Il tie triailg all evening and
that the sacii cf gas pervaded the
whole structure.
sThis ha lea the police to believe
that gas caused the explosion.
During the fire at the Times sew
eral surrounding buildings were
threatened, but hard work by the fire
men saved them. The Times plant is
estimated TO be worth over 100000
and is a total loss.
Owing to the fact that the explosion
did not occur until after the paper
had been gotten out the death toll
was much less than if it had happened
a few hours earlier.
Times Was Nonunion Paper.
The Times building is located at
First and I.cadWay, in the heart of
the business section of the city, and
is owned by General Harrison Gray
Otis. 1t is one Of the largest nonunion
papers in the country and for years
has been the zone of bitter warfare
between General Otis and the friends
of union labor.
The Times has for years been run
or m oh 1ly ION
labor forces have been engaged in a
life and death struggle in Los Angeles.
AS a result, and before there was the
slightest notice that the disaster was
anything other than pure accident,
enemies of union labor voiced the sug-
gestion that the accident was due to
the union labor trouble. officials of
the unions Indignantly denied this and
will probably start a searching inves-
tigation to prevent capital being made
of the accident They say that the
investigation will prove that the dis
aster was due to carelessness and
lack of safety device precautions.
Harry E. Andrews, managing editor
of the Times, gave out the following
statement
"The Times building was destroyed
by dynamite by the enemies of indus
trial freedom.
"The Times itself cannot be de-
stroyed 1t will soon be reissued
from its auxiliary plant and will fight
it's battles to the last"

MEDICAL COURSES
FOR ATTORNEYS
Recent Sensational Murder Trials
Have Shown importance Of knowi-
edge of Medicine to Lawyers.
(ey Union Associated Press }

Chicago, March 11.-An educational
innovation has just been put into
effect by the medical college OF
Loyola University, Jesuit institution,
which offers a course in medicine to
law students and attorneys. Recent
sensational murder trials have shown
the importance, It is alleged, of a
knowledge of medicine to the lawyer.
The course will deal solely with
medical and surgical subjects which
commonly come up In court trials
Special emphasis will be laid upon
the various forms of insanity, but the
lectures will also take up anatomy
histology, pathology, neurology and
toxicology.
The course is offered with the aim
in view of preparing attorneys for in
telligently questioning medical mel
on the witness stand when they ara
called as experts.

Iwo Openinq to Gulf.

The line as proposed running from
Columbia to Hattiesburg, would give
the Great Northern two additional
outlets to the Gulf ports, and would
open up considerable timber and ag-
ricultural lands that is not now
touched by a railroad. Naturally, the
company is disposed to extend its
road where the best advantages are
to be obtained, and the general i'm
preston seems to prevail that If the
company is given proper encourage
ment, it will not be long before work
on the proposed extension is started.
1t is understood that the Great
Northern alerady owns timber and
other lands as far out of Columbia in
this direction as fifteen miles, and
that the right of way for the rest of
the distance could be easily secured.
Just what arrangements are proposed
for terminal facilities for the new
road are not known, nothing having
been given out on that phase of the
proposition.
The committee was given splen-
did reception ON its visit to Bogaloosa,
one of the courtesies shown the mem
bers being a trip through the i'm
mense Bogaloosa lumber mill.

HIGH CLASS
BASE BALL
lslWanted in Hattiesbulg, But
Getting it is Another Prop
OSition.

Whether or not Hattiesburg is to
enjoy the pleasures and excitement
of professional baseball this season
is matter which must be settled
tomorrow, and prompt action on the
part of local enthusiasts is absolutely
necessary if this city expects to put
team in the Cotton States League.
The League will positively be re-
organized at a meeting which will be
held in Jackson tomorrow, and a pro-
moter of the reorganization plan was
in Hattiesburg last night to get def
mite information with reference to the
situation and to urge prompt action
on the part of local promoters. So
far as can be learned, the situation
is practically unchanged. Hatties-
burg wants professional ball, but the
proposition for this city to put team
in the league has met with scant en-
courageemnt.
1t appears that the only difficulty in
the way at present is the matter of a
$500 forfeit, and if this can be ar
ranged today Hattiesburg will send a
representative to the meeting at Jack
son tomorrow, with authority to close
the deal for a franchise. If not, the
deal is off, some other town will COB
BILE up the franchise and splendid
opportunity will be lost.
Messrs. Love, Haggerty, Villains
and Mullette, the local promoters,
have worked patiently and unceasing-
ly in an effort to create sufficient
amount of enthusiasm in the PROPOSE
tiOn, and if Hattiesburg is not in the
league this season, it will be through
no fault of theirs. Several other cit
liens have manifested a commendable
degree of interest, the Traction COM
pany has made it plain that they are
willing to encourage the movement
to reasonable extent, and it is hoped
that some arrangement may be made
this afternoon to send a committee
to Jackson to make final arrange
ments for the franchise.
In re-organizing the Cotton States
League, it is the desire of the promo
ters, as far as possible, to confine the
organization to Mississippi towns, to
form a six-team circuit, composed OF
the towns of Jackson, Meridian, Hat
tiesburg, Vicksburg, Canton and Yazoo
City, but if this cannot be done, AL
giers, Baton Rouge, Alexandria and
Monroe will be invietd to join.
A tentative plan which has been
outlined provides for 10 games, the
season to open about April 27. The
salary limit is fixed at 800. Fol
many reasons it was thought impor
tant to fix low salary limit, and to
compel each association to live ur
implicitly to it's agreement. If this
is done. and the league is compactly
formed, there is every reason why II
should prove remunerative.

Farmers Will Now
Have Opportunity
TWO IMPORTANT
BILLS REPORTED
Favorable Report on Bill to Exempt
Six Per Cent Money and Lower
ing Legal Rate Of Interest.
Special to The NeaOS.

Special to The Ne,os.
Jackson, Miss, March 1.-Two
highly important bills were returned
to the house by the ways and means
committee yesterday. Favorable re-
port is given on the bill to exempt
from taxation all money loaned at six
per cent or less, which will be the
subject of one of the liveliest debates
of the session. The commercial bod
les of Mississippi have sent in numer-
Gus memorials asking for the adoption
of this measure, believing that 1t will
result in great influx of foreign cap
ital for the development of the state,
agriculturally, industrially, and in
many other ways.
The committee also made favorable
report on the bill lowering the legal
late of interest from ten to eight per
cent. The two bills were coupled in
the discussion last evening, and some
opposition was manifested, but the
advocates had clear majority, and
put forth some strong arguments in
behalf of both financial propositions.
1t is generally believed that both
bills will pass the lower house by
small majorities There is some
doubt as to the action of the senate,
sentiment in that body on the two
subjects not being clearly defined, as
they have not been much discussed
by the members.

Committee RECEIVED
BY Pres. GOODYEAR
Great North srn is Disposed to Extend
Road Hte-e Best Commercial Ad-
vantages are Offered.-New Terri
tory Hould be opened.

The committee appointed by the
Commercial Club to go to Bogaloosa,
La, Tuesday, to confer with officials
of the Great Northern railroad rela-
tive to the proposed extension of a
branch of that line from Columbia in
to Hattiesburg, returned last night.
and are we'll pleased with the results
of the trip. The committee was COM
posed of H. A. Camp, R. G. Hauenstein
and M. l.. Bixler.
President Goodyear of the Great
Northern, spends the greater part OF
his time in the north, and it was
deemed advisable to send a commit
tee to meet him on this trip he is
making on an inspection of the prop
critics of the company. When the
proposition of extending the line of
his road into Hattiesburg was put be-
fore him, President Goodyear was
disposed to look at it favorably, and
advised the committee that his com
pany would make survey of the pro
posed route within short time, and
that he would be able to give Hatties
burg citizens more definite informa
| tion about the intentions of the com
pany after that was done.

MEDICINE WE REC
OMMEND.

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic it may be,
that we offer to furnish the medicine
at our expense should it fail to pro-
duce satisfactory results
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides, their use becomes
a habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestine or descending colon.
To expect permanent relief You must
therefore tone up and strengthen
these organs and restore them to

SDectdt 10 IHe NtWS.
Jackson, Miss, March 1.-THE In
dustrial Institute & College appropria-
tion bill, carrying about $290,OOO, is
being considered by the house COM
mittee on appropriations.
1t is expected that the low pres
sure brigade" will make its usual eff
fort to trim the bill, cutting out a
number of items in the budget ap-
proved by the senate. One fortunate
feature in favor of the big institu-
ton, however. is the absence of Capt.
Frank Burkett, leader of the low pres
sure clement, who is out of the city
this week.
If any material reductions are made
in the |. I. & c bill it is said the senate
will not stand for it, and that the
conferees appointed by that body will
refuse to recede from the policy
adopted by the upper body
President H. L. Whitfield has been
in the city for several days awaiting
opportunity to appear before the com

as to when the instrument will pro1r

It has been suggested that. in ~
of the fact that Governor Noel II
probably extend the session 0f ~

should be prepared n such shape tn
all cities adopting the c0mmis1tG
form of government may operate e.
a manner identical with the other, au

be submitted to the legislature for -

only provision made in the law t.
the way the instrument shall be draw
up is that it shall set forth the faGe1
of the original petition. (that is u
| petition asking for the election) A.
| it is suggested that the charter shoul
set forth the duties of the various o.

1t would be an easy matter, it 4

INCREASE APPROPRIATION
FOR UNIVERSITY OF MISS
Special to The NeUS.

Special to The Nei0S.
Jackson, Miss, March IL
The senate gave strong rebuke to
the lower house Wednesday afternoon
by the spirit of liberality shown in
dealing with the University of Mis-
sissippi appropriation bill
In the form Originally presented to
the house the bill carried an aggre-
gate of 1881 900 for the ensuing bien-
nial period. The house committee
cut the amount down to $685. 900, a
reduction of $106,000, which caused
Chancellor Kincannon to remark that
''the University might as well close
its doors"
When the bill came up before the
senate yesterday there was little or
no objection offered to the amend
ments made by the senate finance
committee, increasing the appropria-
tion to $4S,500, and making a total of
$273,500, or $56,500 less than the
amount originally asked. All of the
finance committee amendments were
adopted, including restoration of the
$4,000 budget Tor the student labor
fund, which Chairman Franklin de-
clared to be the most meritorious
| feature of the bill.
The principal item cut out by the
house committee and not restored by
the senate was $4,000 for Y. NJ. c. A
| building. Chairman Franklin stated
that the senate would be glad to restore
this amount, as the building is bad
| ly needed, but the condition of the
states finances will not warrant i
at this time.
The bill not goes to conference, fo
it is hardly probable that the hous'
will concur in all of the senate amend
ments. This means a lively discus
sion between eight or ten member
before final disposal of the measure
but the senate holds a decided advan
tage, as Speaker Street will hardl,
J appoint any conferees on<[ie part o
the house who are not fr adly to tn
institution. ~
/ Chancellor KincannoB. was on tn
floor of the senate during the discu,
: sion, and expresses himself as we
!. pleased with the result.
