NO AMENDMENTS ATTACHED
(By Associated PreSs.)


Washington, April 22.-Taft's Cana
dian reciprocity agreement, supported
by all but handful of Democrats and
Republicans, passed the house Friday
evening by vote of 265 to SO.
The bill was adopted with no
amendments and is almost identical
in form with the one which passed
the house last session.
Added to it by the Democratic lead
ers is a section which authorizes and
requests" President Taft to make fur
ther efforts to secure still freer trade
relations with Canada in the form OF
additional reciprocal relations. The
passage marks the close of the fight
lasting six days, but at no time was
the safety of the measure threatened
Free debate was allowed on both
sides. Following the same policy
amendments were admitted in the
house today for almost every section
of the bill, but in each case were re
jected by an overwhelming vote.
Ten Democrats voted against thu
bill, and 1877 for it. The Republicans
voted 81 for and rs against the bill.

Guilty in Correcting the City

The city tax commissioners are hav-

The difficulty in correcting the pof

All those who are eligible to vote
in the city to whom property was er
roneously assessed and advertised fol
taxes are requested to call at the city

Failure to do so, may disqualify

Meager information has leaked out
of one of the most important deals in
an industrial way in the history of
Hattiesburg.
From an authentic source The News
learns that large English syndicate
has secured an option on the United
States Lumber Company, which
includes the big plants of the j..
]. Newman Lumber Company at Hat
tiesburg and Sumrall, and a num-
ber of other smaller lumber mills in
the state. The option also includes
the Mississippi Central railroad, and it
is reported that the New Orleans
Great Northern railroad and the plant
of the Southern Lumber Company, at
Bogalusa, La, are included in the op-
tion. The lumber mill at Bogalusa is
the largest one in the world, and 1t is
known that the ]. j. Newman Lumber
Company, or the United States Lumber
Company owns large per cent of the

1t is understood, that the company

to extend the lines of the Mississippi

This would give the railroad line

The sum of $25,0O0 cash has been

Washington, April 22.-Formal de-

be given one-fourth on all majority
membership committees, and the con

REWARDED.
PART OF MONEY RECOVERED
Willie Winston, coIored, The Guilty
Party, Has confessed-Good
Detective Work.
'ART OF MONEY RECOVERED

Deputy Sheriff McGilveray and Con-
stable Riley have made an important
capture which shows the resourceful-
ness of these officers in ferreting out
crime and running down criminals.
AS stated in the columns of The
News of date April 18th, the store OF
Depham & Co. was entered and robbed
of about $500 in cash. 1t was
| thought the store had been robbed
while all the force with the exception
of one clerk was at dinner, and that
the thief took advantage of the clerks
presence in another part of the store
to make the steal.
The money was being kept in the
safe in small box and when the loss
was discovered and investigation start
ed the box was found outside the store
building empty. There was absolutely
no clue to the identity of the thief or
thieves, but Deputy McGilveray did
not abandon the case. He has quietly
been doing some good detective work,
acting on the theory that it was a
negro who had committed the robbery,
and keeping close watch on several
suspicious characters. Yesterday his
efforts were rewarded when he, in CON-
pany with Constable Riley, arrested a
negro by the name of Willie Winston,
who confessed to the robbery, and
$1130O was recovered. The negro was
searched and $S7 was found in his
shoe. He then told the officers where
he had concealed other sums, and TAX
ing him with them they found $5
buried back of the Auditorium and
$40 buried under a bridge near Wal
nut street.
Deputy McGilveray states that his
suspicious were aroused towards the
negro, Winston, when he suddenly be
: gan to "blow himself" taking pleas
!. ure trip to Mobile, ordering tailored
: clothes and purchasing a bicycle
q When convinced the negro had not
! come by his funds honestly he forth
+. with arrested and searched him. Nc
third degree tactics were used to get
the confession from the negro. Mr.
McGilveray simply looked the negro
straight in the eye and commanded
him to tell, and the culprit having
6 knowledge of Mr.. McGilverays repu
o tation as a detective, and thinking
!. perhaps he knew more than he did
= decided the best thing to do was to
d follow the example of "Davy Crock
J. etts COON" and did with the above
s mentioned result. 1t was the hypnotic
a influence of a strong will over a guilty
conscience.
Winston formerly drove a delivery
wagon for the Boney Grocery Co. He
n is now in the county Jail awaiting the
F action of the grand jury, which con

(Bv Associated Press.)

Washington, April 22.-Dr. Vasquez
Gomez, confidential agent Of the Mexi-
can revolutionists in the United States,
received a telegram from General
Francisco Madero, Jr., authorizing him
to begin negotiations with the Mexi-
can government for an immediate ar
mistice.
The message from the revolutionary
leader follows: Taking into consid-
Grafton the actual situation, General
Madero accepts the armistice proposal
covering the zone between Jaurez and
the city of Chihuahua, in order to ne
. gotiate peace in the conferences that
are to follow"
News of the agreement to arrange
the armistice was Immediately tele-
graphed by DR.. Gomez to Minister De
La Barra, at Mexico City.
The belief is general here that Mexi-
co will quickly agree to the armisticei
although action by that government
may be taken ''unofficially," in order
to avoid public recognition of the. in
Surrectos.
The sudden change in the attitude o.
Gen. Madero is explained by the fact
that DR.. Gomez warned him of the pos
sibility of American Intervention grow
ing out of the complications that hav'
arisen over the incidents at Douglas
