BATTERSbY CLEARED !
Of SERIOUS Charge
STOLEN HORSES
HAVE been found
officer Willis Moore Was Notified
That Missing Animal Had Been
Located at Leaf, Miss.

Officer Willis Moore, of the police
force. whose horses disappeared in q.
most mysterious manner a few days
ago while the officer and a negro as
sistant were catching a COW ON Will
liams street, had telephone message
this morning from Leaf, Miss, stating
that the animals had been found at
that place and were being held for
someone to be sent after them.
Mr. Moore is now confident that
his horses were ridden out Of the city
by someone who wanted to get away
in a hurry, and that they had been
turned loose when the parties who
took them had reached their destina-
tion, as it is not likely the animals
would have gone that distance Of
their own accord. Leaf Is a town
situated on the. N. o. M & c. railroad,
forty miles distant from Hattiesburg.
and these animals had never been in
that vicinity before.
A peculiar and extraordinary fea-
ture in connection with this incidence
is the fact that the large dog which
Mr.. Moore uses to assist him in round.
ing up and catching stray cows and
hogs, and which always stays with
the horses, regardless of who rides
them, also disappeared at the same
time, and Mr. Moore was informed
this morning that this faithful canine
is at Leaf with the animals which he
had lost.
1t was at first thought that who
/ ever took the horses had killed the
dog or had gotten rid of him in some
manner, and the intelligence that he
is safe and sound was very gratefully
received by Mr.. Moore, who states
that after this performance he coult
not at any price afford to -
such a valuable animal.

DESPERATE deed
OF DESPERATE Man
New Orleans Man Shot Wife and Two
Children and Committed Suicide
for Very Slight Offense.

New Orleans, La, March 25.-En-
ragged because his wife had gone to
the theatre last night with her brother,
taking the children with her, Alfred
Mitchell, a carpenter, today shot and
probably fatally wounded her, serious
ly wounding their twelye-year-old son
and seven-year-old daughter, and then
shot himself in the head, dying instant
ly.
Mitchell lived on the Gentility road,
several miles from New Orleans.
When he returned home last night and
found his brother-in-law. Conrad Falk,
had taken his family to the theatre,
he loaded a double barrelad shotgun
and waited for them. When they re-
turned he fired two shots at Falk, who
ran down the road and escaped.
After heaping abuse upon his wife
and children he went to bed, but was
in bad humor, and when he arose this
morning and commenced quarrel
with his wife, which eliminated in
shooting. The wounded woman and
children were brought to a hospital
in New Orleans today. The woman
and girl may die, but the boy will
probably recover.

To REGULATE Speed
OF THE AUTOMOBILES
MAY MAKE butler
ATTY..GENERAL
Indications Are That the Present AS.
slstant of Mr.. Stirling Will be
His Successor.

WniNe no intimation has been given
out from the governors office on the
subject,t the opinion is growing in DO.
htlcal circles that Assistant Attorney
General George Butler will be appoint
ed as the successor of Attorney Gen
eral J. r. Stirling, and that the ap.
pointment will be announced within
the next few days.
Since this vacancy became prospect.
i've only one other prospective aspir.
ant has been suggested who, in the
opinion of those conversant
with the situation, would be
likely to receive the appointment
and thar is Hon. w. A. Mcdonald, of
Ashland, one of the foremost members
of the North Mississippi bar.
1t does not seem, however, that Mr..
Mcdonald is hankerng after the job.
He has said something to the COVER.
nor that could be taken as an indica-
tion that he wants it, and has made no
effort to secure endorsements therefor.
On the other hand, the friends of Mr.,
Butler have been exceedingly busy,
and they feel that their favorte is
entitled TO the promotion on the re.
cord he has made in the office, which
has been in every respect above criti.
cism.
In the event MI Butler is appointed
he will he required to appoint two as.
sistants. and one of whom shall serve
as specia! counsel for the railroad
commission.

Chief POTTER
HAS COMPLAINT
Says Main Street Crossing OF North
eastern Road is Dangerous
place at Night.

Fire Chief Potter this morning called
the attention of a News reporter to
what he considers a dangerous situa-
tion and one hich, he thinks, should
be corrected by all means, and that
at an early date. The absolute lack
of protection to pedestrians and pass
engers at the street crossings of the
railroads was the matter to which Mr..
Potter had reference.
While it is true that >at least two
of the railroads have a fiagman at the
most L.. portant crossings in the city
limits, .Mr. Potter stated that these
fiagmen were on duty only in the day
time, aud at night absolutely no pre-
caution was taken for the safety Of
the general public. The crossings are
frequently blocked, he said, and at
times the fire department had been
compelled to wait several minutes
when making a run to fire.
Within the recent past many acct
dents at these crossings were narrow
ly averted, and for the benefit of the
public Chief Potter thinks something
should be done to minimize the danger.
His idea is to have the railroads inau
gurate a system of electric bell alarms
at every crossing in the city. This
suggestion, he states, was made to
the council some time ago. and it is
hoped that they will see fit to take ia
vorable action on it at an early meet

From the South Will be Laid by
Anti-Saloon League.
(By Union Associated Press.)

follow up past victories with the great
final victory. when the rum demon"
shall be driven from his last strong
hold in Dixie, will be made during
the convention opened in Atlanta to-
day by the Anti-Saloon League of the
Southern States.
Great enthusiasm is manifested by
the visitors and it is likely that the
meeting, which will continue to April
1, inclusive, will be the greatest leg
islative and law-enforcing conference
ever held in the South. Delegates
have come from all over the South.
Besides the regular. superintendents
and field workers there is a large
number of State officials, State and
national legislators and law-enforce-
ment attorneys in attendance.
The purpose of the convention is to
discuss the best means of securing
law enforcement in prohibition ter
ritory and to unite all efforts of the
leagues in seeking national legislation,
which, it is claimed, is needed for aid
in the further enactment and enforce
ment of prohibition measures.

Will Be No Interference With

Sends Telegram to Local President
MiIIette Stating That The Hill City

Positive assurance that there would

"Vicksburg is in Cotton States

tion to local baseball enthusiasts, as
the announcement published in sew
eral newspapers that Vicksburg had
backed out" put the matter in rather
a complicated attitude, as it was
thought that this would to a large
extent interfere with the original ar
rangements of the league.
Of course, it was known that sew.
eral towns in other states were anx-
ious to secure a franchise in the new
organization, but the original plan
was that the league should be COM
posed exclusively of towns in Missis-
sippi, and schedule had already been
mapped out, although not officially ap-
proved and adopted.
The local situation is very encour-
aging. Subscriptions have been lib
eral, the forfeit money has been post
ed and several players, besides play
er-manager, have been signed. Not
only this, but President Millette has
had applications from good ball play
ers sufficient to supply several teams
but their records are being thorough
ly Investigated before contracts a
signed Hattiesburg proposes to v
the pennant, and is selecting tel
with that object in view. For
reason, the local association is k
ing. quiet and conducting its neg A
tions in a business-like way, and le
result, it is expected, will be as Ioot
team as it is possible to secure under
the salary limit prescribed by the
league.
The Traction Company announces
that the grounds. grand stand ant
bleachers will be completed ant
ready for use before they are needed

are looking forward with much pleas

SUCCESSFUL TRIP
ON LEAF RIVER
Capt. Archie Farley Says II Will Be
An Easy Matter to Put the Stream
in NavigabIe Condition.

Captain Archie Farley, who with
his brothers, Messrs. Matt. and An
gus Farley, went to Merrill last week
Pioneer" stated this morning that in
his opinion, and judging by the case
with which the 145 mile voyage was
made. the task OF dredging and pre-
pairing Leaf River for navigation will
be a comparatively easy one and
should not cost great deal of money.
The launch pioneer" is a craft
capable of carrying both freight and
passengers, and when loaded draws
eleven inches of water. Its minimum
daught is nine inches. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that at the time this trip
was made by the Messrs. Farley the
water was lower than at any time
during the present year, the voyage
was made with all ease and no diff
Guilty of any character was expert
enced. No stops were necessary, and
on one stretch the boat'made run of
sixty miles in five hours.
Capt. Farley, who has resided on
the banks of Leaf river practically all
his life, probably knows more about
that stream than the average citizen,
and he stated this morning that after
the channel had once been cleared
there would be no difficulty in main
tanning a sufficient depth of water to
permit of navigation the year round
The principal cause of the stream fill
ing in, he said, was due to the prac.
tice of floating logs, loose and on
RATS. These logs drag against the
bank of the stream and cause them
to cave in, thus widening the stream
and necessarily lessening the depth OF
water.
| 1t is believed that in the event the
river should be dredged and the
floating of logs in it be stopped, the
edges of the stream will be lined with
a growth of willows, which will pre-
vent a widening of the channel. thai
the river will be narrowed instead
and the depth increased by this cause

Jackson, Miss, March 25.-Capt.
c. H. Neyland, superintendent of the
penitentiary, and the authorities OF
the Mississippi Insane Hospital, give
their cordial endorsement to the sug-
gestion in a gubernatorial message
sent to the legislature yesterday that
a norton of the insane hospital farm
be set aside for truck farming pur-
noses. to be titled with convict labor
Briefly stated, the plan in view is to
use a portion of this 1900 tract
as a model truck farm, raising vege-
tables to supply the insane hospital,
the deaf and dumb institute, the blind
institute, and other state institutions,
the surplus to be sold on the local
market.
THE plan is unquestionably a good
one and I cordially endorse the Gov
ernors suggestion" said Supt. Ney-
land this morning. Furthermore, |
am confident that it would prove a
paving investment for the state. we
can easily spare forty or fifty con-
yicts from the state farms for this
purpose, or more if necessary, for we
now have more labor than we know
what to do with, owing to the rapid
increase in prison population, The
legislature has authorized us to BUY
an additional tract of delta land for
farming purposes, but it will be I'M
possible, after this tract is purchased,
to get it in shape for farming opera
tions during the current year
As understand it, the insane hos.
pital tract is now practically idle, and
brings in but little revenue to the in
stitrtion. We could easily establish
a convict camp on the extreme north
ern edge of the tract, mile or SO
from the insane hospital, and with for
,ty or fifty able-bodied convicts, d
splendid crop of vegetables could be
raised to supply the various institu
tions and the Jackson market, seliine
TO the institutions at something like
cost. and disposing of the surplus IN
Jackson az current market prices.
Members of the legislature with
whom the subject has been discussed
give il their cordial approval, and II
Is expected that the bill sanctioninf
tbe project will be given speedy pass
