The most conspicuous features were

II was not simply that actual tourists
were violating the law. but the irresu-
~laritics OF the service on the passenger
docks and the example set by those
tourists n made the Atlantic steam
shifs open runways for professional
smuggling. This whole situation had
become demoralized and wns deteriora-
ting the entire customs service in New
York and more or less everywhere else.
Genuine passengers and professional
smugglers under the guise OF genuine
passengers were not only smuggling by
means OF false declarations. but they
were bribing the officers. The situation

Chicago.-These were the causes
and remedies expressed unanimously
by delegates to the convention Of the
United Master Butchers of Amer.
lea, which is affiliated with the inter.
national organization of Master Butch
ers of the World. The organization
has more than a million members,
who are retail butchers, exclusive OF
grocers that sell meats.
John H. Schoffeld, secretary of the
national organization, laid the cause
of high prices at the door of the farm.
er, whom he said is too hasty about
slaughtering cattle, hogs and lambs.
1.-THE farmer must be encouraged to
raise live stock or the United States
will lose it's grip as the live stock
country Of the world. The only solu'
ton that l can see at the present time
is the accumulation of large tracts OF
land by a corporation for the produc.
ton of live stock. The farmer of to
day is different from that of years
ago.. He is becoming lax in his duties.
He is educating his children and send.
ing them to the city, thus taking la.
Dor from the farm. The city bred per.
son does not want to work on the
farm and farm labor is scarce. The
price he can get for cereal products
pays him better than feeding live
stock and he does not bother with
live stock production.

PERFORMS A PERILOUS FEAT
American Aviator Carries Passenger
Across the English Channel.

Deal, England.-It has been re-
served for an American citizen to per-
form one of the most daring feats in
the history of aviation. John B. Mois-
SAINT of Chicago flew across the Eng
lish channel from Calais to Tilman-
stone Wednesday with a passenger,
and by this achievement far surpassed
feats of Blierot, De Lesseps and the
unfortunate English aviator, Rolls,
who met his death at Bournemouth.
The two-man fight from France to
England was the more astonishing
from the fact that it was only a month
ago that Moissant learned to fly, and
he made so few flights and was SO
little known among air men that even
his nationality was not disclosed. He
was reput edto be a Spaniard.
To make the feat still more sur
prising, Moissant was totally ignorant
of the geology Of his course. He hao
never been in England and was
obliged to rely entirely on the COM
pass while the crossing of the chan
mel was accomplished in the teeth OF
q strong westerly wind.

MMuRRAY GOT MUCH MONEY
Indians Allowed Him Fat Fees and
an Expense Account.

Sulphur, Okla.-It was brought out
in the testimony of J. F. McMurray be-
fore the congressional committee in.
vestigating Indian land affairs Friday
that he held as many as half a dozen
contracts with the Indians for legal
services, all covering the same period
of time.
Mr.. McMurray testified, under ques-
tioning, that for general services he
had two contracts with the Chicka-
saws at $4,000 a year each; two with
the Choctaws at $4,000 a year each;
another contract for special services
at a fee of $15,500, only $4,000 of which
was paid; a yearly expense allowance
of 81 700 under one contract and one
other general expenses amounting to
1906 All of this money was in adj
dition to the $750,0O0 allowed his Jaw
firm as a contingent fee in what are
knowns as the citizenship cases, and
in addition also to the contracts by
which he now seeks to obtain 10 per
cent, or SO, 0 900 as a contingent fee
on the sale of 100000 900 worth OF
asphalt and coal lands.

The taking Of dispositions in the eel.

against the fire insurance companies
doing business in Mississippi, alleging
violation Of the antitrust laws, was
resumed in this city today. A dozen
or more special agents representing
various Insurance companies were
present to give testimony.
This is but one branch OF the insur.
ance litigation, the companies involved
in the present hearing being those al
legged to hold membership in inspec-
ton and rating bureaus. Shortly az
ter these suits were filed in the First
chancery district similar proceedings
were instituted against the non-board
companies. about fifty in number, by
District Attorney j. d. Thomas, In the
chancery court Of Warren county. The
total penalties which the state seeks
to collect from fire insurance compan-
les to about $115, 100000, and, should
the courts sustain the contention OF
the attorney1general, and impose the
maximum penalties, 1t would put half
the insurance companies doing bust
ness in the state permanently out OF

INDIANS ARE FLEECED
PRESIDENT INTERESTED IN GORE
BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
Commissioner Valentine Makes Lis
Of Fees Paid Attorneys in Indian
Matters During Past 10 Years.

Sulphur. Okla.-In response to a re-
quest from Commissioner OF Indian Al
fairs Valentine, the special congress
sional committee investigating Indian
land affairs Wednesday forwarded to
Beverly, Mass, a statement covering
the amount Of attorneys fees paid
by the Indians. The statement was
said to be for the use of President
Taft. The statement cover q period
Of twenty years and embraces money
paid out as contingent fees. 1t shows
the total money so paid was $685.
304.54. Among the largest fees was
$789,O00, paid b ythe Chickasaw In
dams to $685. 1893. he New
Work Indians paid $240,843 to recover
less than 100000. The astern Cher
okees paid a fee of $4,000. In some
instances the fees paid were as high
as 25 per cent. of the property in
volved.
The request to the committee for
the figures is taken as indicating that
President Taft has decided to inter-
est himself in the present investiga-
ton, which grew out of Senator T.. P.
Cores charges Of attempted bribery.
The contracts now held by ]. F. Nc
Murray call for a 10 per cent. fee
for the sale of $30,0O0,O0 worth of
land in this state. In presenting the
figures before the committee. Repre-
sentative Philip Campbell of Kansas
said:
ct is rather a startling condition
Of affairs that such an amount OF
money was paid by the Indians to
American lawyers, when the govern
ment itself is the guardian of the In
dams"

ARREST |, c. GRAFTERS
HARTMAN, EWING AND TAYLOR
WILL BE PROSECUTED.
General Manager and General Super.
intcndent Charged With Con-
spiracy and Fraud.

Chicago, Ill.-Three ex-oficials for.
merly high in the management OF the
illinois. Central Railroad Company
were arrested Friday in connection
with the alleged huge frauds by which
the road claims to have been defraud'
ed out of s~1,500,000. The men ar
rested we're:
Frank B. Hartman, former general
manager of the road.
Charles T. Ewing, former manager
of lines north Of the Ohio river.
John M. Taylor, former general
storekeeper Of the road.
The warrants are sworn to by Pres
ident Harahan Of the railroad com
pany concerned. They charge the
three men with conspiracy to cheat
and defraud the railroad by false pre-
lenses and with operating a conf
dence game.
The allegations in the so-called graf
cases are among the most sensational
ever made against nrgn officials OF q
great corporation. The investigation
began over a year ago. 1t reached q
crisis last spring when President Har'
ahan began action to recover sums
said to aggregate more than $1,000,
900, alleged to have been secured by
car repair companies in connivance
with high officials of the road.
Hartman, Ewing, Taylor and
large number Of others Of lesser mag
nitude resigned their positions. Much
of the money is said to have been re
paid privately. The name of Ira e
Rawn, vice-president of the road, who
resigned to become president of the
Monon and who was found dead re
Gently at his home with a bullet
wound in his breast, was brought into
the scandal. Murray Nelson, Jr., at
torney for the Illinois Central, stated
that Rawn's death headed diff war
rants which would have been ISSUED
for him.

JACKSON.
MOSS EXPECTS HALF A CROP.
Government Expert Tours Fields In
South Mississippi.

t4M S0o@is &s
District Agent B. L. Moss, of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstrative
Work, has, during the past two weeks,
covered a large part Of the boil weevil
area of South Mississippi, and has the
following to say relative to crop con-
ditions in his section:
"a careful inspection of cotton fields
along the Illinois Central from Jack
son to the Louisiana line, indicates
that all Of this territory will, in all
probability, produce better than half
a crop of cotton, despite the adverse
influences that have affected it. This
view is shared by most of the local
crop authorities, who have closely
watched conditions. A severe freeze
the last of April ruined all chances of
. very large crop and the result of
this, coupled with a reduced acreage,
an almost unprecedented wet spell,
and the ravages Of the weeyil, will
necessarily mean a small crop.
Reports from the southwestern
part of the state, where the destruc-
ton was almost complete last year, in
dictate from SO to 60 per cent of a nor
NAL crop on the acreage planted. Close
observers from these counties seem
agreed that the production per acre Is
going to be far greater than last year,
despite the bad season experienced.
I'm the territory adjacent to Jack
son the indications are for as good or
better crop than last year. The wee
vii covers all of Kinds county, but over
the eastern half the infestation is COM
paratively light, and this, with the Wig
orous war that has been made on the
pest, means a good crop. In the west
ern and southwestern part of the coun-
ty the weevil has been a serious fac
tor, and only half a crop of slightly
better can be hoped for.
"Without exception, wherever a hard
fight has been made against the vice.
vii, fairly good crops are the result.
The farmers and business men are
generally optimistic and Ire agreed
that with anything like a normal sea-
son and by a close adherence to cultu-
raj methods, good crops can be grown.
In fact, this has been abundantly prov
en- this year. This spirit of hopeful
ness is fortified by the biggest corr
crop ever produced in South Missis-
sippi and by the presence of plenty Of
good hogs on nearly every farm.
"The community that buys meat and
corn next year will be the exception.
It is, in fact, not improbable that some
counties will export rather than i'm
port these commodities"
What Mr.. Moss has observed and
which he gives expression to in the
above interview has been noted quite
generally by other observant men who
have been over the interior and stud
led the situation at close range, and
whether there be a slump in cotton,
there will be a decided increase in hog
and hominy.
