Washington, March 10.-With all
details of the great forward movement
of the troops completed the scene of
activity has shifted from Washington
to the field today. The admission in
administration circles that the mill
tary activity is inspired by conditions
in Mexico were read with deep inter-
ests today by officers of the army and
navy. A majority of them accepted
the earlier explanations that the oper-
ations were merely for technical ex-
ercises. Major General Leonard
Wood probably will go to the border
in April to inspect the camps and
commands along the river. Reports tc
the War Department indicate that by
tomorrow all the troops ordered will
have reported at the border points.

A LOVE-SICK
swain IN COURT
His Devotion Towards Young Girl
Gets Him Into Lot of
Touble.

Reverend Johnson, considerably |
colored, filled the roll of the Dub In
the city court this morning. The Rev
erend is in love, or at least he says
so himself, and the object of his de-
yotion is only twelve years old ana
wears short dresses. Her mother and
other relatives objected to the atten-
tions of the Reverend, who appears to
be forty-five or over, and notihed MIN
to stay away from the house and leave
the girl alone. These commands did
not dampen the ardor of Rev. Johnson,
but it was simply another case OF dis
tance lending enchantment to the
view; while he could not see the girl
| in person he could write. In fact the
Reverend was long on writing but de-
cidedly short on spelling. He proceed
ed to shower the girl with love notes,
and finding he could not tell all he
wanted to tell in the compass of
note, he proceeded to white a book and
then had the book printed. A copy
of the new literary production fell into
the hands of Rudolph Boquine, an
uncle of the girl, who fell upon the
Reverend and proceeded to take sever
al dollars worth of satisfaction IRON
the Reverend's hide. The job is sale

; pleased the entire neighborhood excep

the courts for justice, and swore ou
a warrant against Boquine, charging
assault and battery. Mayor Ric

coming to him, so dismissed Boquin'

PURPOSE Of GREAT MOVEMENT
OF TROOPS HAS Been UNNASKED
CALCULATED MEXICAN REvoLUToNsTs WILL SOON BE
FORCED DISCONTINUE AR ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR
SOURCE


This means that the Mexican gov
revolution are liable to burst out at
any moment and envelope the whole |
country. The American government |
has been apprised of these conditions. !
The sudden ordering of thousands
of soldiers and warships to the South
is in no sense unfriendly to the Diaz
government. 1t is, in fact, friendly to
that government, and is calculated to
bolster it up at time when 1t is tot
tering to its fall
The ordering of two additional war
ships to the scene of trouble gave ad-
ditional empahsis to the gravity of the
situation. The Salem and Chester,
both cruisers, have been directed to
sail at once for the region of the
Mexican coast. The Salem has been
ordered to Galveston and the Chester
to Tampico, Mexico. The ordering of
an American warship to a Mexican
port emphasizes the serious conditions
that obtain as nothing else could have
done.
Among other things, it has been dis
, closed to the Washington authorities
, that the insurgents in Mexico are get
, ting numberless arms from the Amer
| ican side. The revolution is beinl

CHANCERY COURT
CONVENES MONDAY
Docket Contains No Large Cases,
But Many Suits For
Divorce.

Chancery Court will convene Mon
day for a two weeks session, Chan
cellor Wood presiding.
The coming session of the court Is
without special significance and
the number of cases is not unusually
large. nor are there any cases where
large amounts are involved. Perhaps
the case of most general interest is
friendly suit-that of H. A. Camp
against the City of Hattiesburg. Thls
suit was filed to annul the plat or sur
vey of the Normal School site, This
plat as it now exists provides for
streets and alleys throughout the site'
which of course would be impractical
and render the site unfit for schooi
uses. The suit would not tend to re-
move the site from the city limits, but
simply to allow the land to be used
as a body.
OF the numerous other suits on the
docket the majority perhaps are oil
yorce cases, twenty-one couples hav
ing applied for a severance of theil
marriage ties.

THEY ARE AFRAID PRESIDENT
TAFT WILL STEAL THEIR
THUNDER.
POLITICAL GAME BEING PLAYED
Taft May Recommend Revision Of
Certain Tariff ScheduIes-pemo-
Gratis object.

Washington, D. c., March 10.-Presi
dent Taft will make known his wishes
to the new congress by submitting a
special message, and the Democrats
are showing some anxiety as to what
he may say to them. This document
will be an interesting one, and may
place the tariff question before them in
a way that it will be awkward for them
to handle and gather credit for the re-
vision of certain schedules.
The president is being urged to de-
mand revision of the cotton and wool
en- schedules, and ask their revision at
once. In addition, of course, he will
strongly urge reciprocity, and he may
deem it expedient to touch in broad
way on comprehensive progressive
program of legislation to be taken ur
by this congress.
If the president does this there will
be loud outcries from Democratic quar-
ters about an effort to steal Democrat
ic thunder. The men advising thu
president to take this course are per
fectly aware of this. AS a matter o
fact, the situation has resolved itsel
into a great political game, with tn
stakes the results of the 1912 elet
tions.

LOOKING into
COLLEGE NATTER
A Committee Will Ask Mr.. Tatum to
Make State Baptsts a
Proposition.

At conference of the Baptist min
listers of Hattiesburg held Thursday
afternoon, the matter of building
Baptist college in this city for girls
was again discussed.
Revs A. L. O'Briant, E. D. Solomon,
|. P. Trotter and Mr.. M. P. l.. Love
were appointed committee to confer
with Mr.. w. F. S. Tatum, who owns
the old South Mississippi College prop
erty, and learn what kind of an offer
he will make to the Baptists of the
state to establish the college at that
point.
If Mr.. Tatum makes the committee
a liberal proposition, steps will be ta-
ken to bring the matter before the To-
cal as we'll as the State Baptist Asso-
citation.
The gentlemen behind the move
ment of establishing the college here
are in earnest, and if they are given
the proper cooperation the college will
no doubt be reality.
Meridian proposes to start a move
ment towards securing such college
for that city, but Hattiesburg is more
logical point, and it is believed thi:
city would be favored by the Baptist!
of the state to Meridian in the matte
of erecting a state school for youni
ladies'.

The Daz Government in a Dangerous
Position.

Washington, March 10.-If the Diaz
government is tottering, as many are
led to believe, the forcible interven-
ton of the United States in Mexico to
protect Americans and prevent a state
of anarchy is not far off. For two
weeks or more it has been predicted
by well-informed men here that the
revolution would be successful. With
in the past few days information has
been received that the whole organi-
zation which President Diaz has main
tanned is falling to pieces, and that
with his advanced years he cannot
hope to erect another. His health,
while not vigorous, is not so precari
Gus as had been reported, but his sec
retary of war has broken down under
the great strain caused by the revolu
ton, and so have other strong sup
porters of the administration.
The most significant fact about th'
whole situation from a military, a
well as political standpoint, is tha
Diaz is compelled to keep the grea
body of his regular forces at Mexic
City and within easy reach.
