UNRIPE ORANGES
BARRED BY Wiley
Growers Are Notified That Artifcially
Ripened Fruit is in Violation OF
Pure Food Law.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture has prepared for
confiscation of any shipments of un-
ripe oranges or other unripe fruit
from Florida. Secretary Wilson, who
has been in communication with the
Florida agricultural authorities, an
nounced today that any attempts to
ship artificially ripened fruit out OF
Florida or to process" unripe fruit
on it's journey to the north would be
signal for government activity.
A shortage in citrus fruits has de-
veloped throughout the north, with
accompanying high prices. Much OF
this shortage is due, it is claimed to
the enforcement of the Florida state
law prohibiting the shipment of un-
ripe fruit and the Federal pure food
decision, which prohibits the transpor-
tation of artificially ripened or color
ed fruit.
The agricultural department is pre-
pared to act under the pure food law,
| DR.. Harvey w. Wiley of the bureau of
! chemistry stated that if advised OF
any such shipments, inspectors would
! take any necessary action.

SPECIAL SESSION
November lsV
opinion Prevails That Governor Noel
Will Issue Call at Early Date
For Extra Session.
Special to The Netos.

Jackson. Miss, Oct. 10-The report
is current around the state house that
Governor Noel's proclamation calling
a special session of the legislature
will fix the date for the assembly
about the 1st of November.
No specified length of notice for
special of extraordinary sessions is
required by the constitution or stat
utes. and the Governor can convene
the lawmakers on a three-day notice,
should he see fit to do so. 1t is gener-
ally believed, however, that a ten-day
notice of the session will be given.
The Governor remains non-commit-
tai on the subject, declining to state
positively whether or not he intends
to bring the lawmakers together, but
his closest personal and political
friends feel confident that he intends
to do so, and the tenor of his conver-
sation indicates that he has that pur
pose in mind, despite the fact that he
declines to answer direct questions OF
the subject.
The sole and only subject for con
sideration, in case the lawmakin'
body is convened, will be the Cover
nor's recommendation for reimburse
ment to the purchasers of the $500
600 state bond issue for interest o.
f the first semi-annual period which tn
Supreme court held they are not Ell
} titled to collect. and payment O
p which the Governor believes is absC
- lutely necessary to maintain in tn
b, states credit.

A NOTABLE AFFAIR
At ATLANTA TODAY
Famous Mission of Peace BY Gate
City Guards is Suitably
Commemorated.


Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 10.-Soldiers of
three generations of as many wars
and from seven northern and southern
states participated today in the peace
monument erected to commemorate
the famous Mission of Peace under
taken by the old Gate City guards Of
Atlanta in 1879. Thousands of peo-
pie lined the streets and the military
pageant was the most brilliant in At
lanta's history. Governor Baldwin, of
Connecticut, made the principal
speech. He said the north nor the
south could forget the northern trip
made by the famous old Atlanta mill
tary command, because it helped 50
much to restore understanding and
peaceful relations between the north
and south.

PLAY BALL.

There will be an attempt made by
that enterprising caterer to the
world, Al G. Field to put
notables in imitation on the stage for
the edification of their admirers,
Forbes Field, the home of the
pirate crew of Barney Dreyfus and
Fred Clarke will be the setting. AL
though only National leaguers play on
this field in the real games, manager
Field has brought the notables of
both the major leagues together
Honus Wagner and Tyrus Cobb side
by side; Charley Doom and Hughey
jennings Napolean Lajoie and Roger
Bresnahan; Hal Chase and Frank
Chance; in fact all the baseball he
roes of the day are there in imitation
and the counterfeits are mighty hard
to detect from the audience. Stage
accessories make the made-up arti'
Gle look very much like the originals
It's an innovation that takes immense
ly and a burlesque on the national
game with the mobbing of the umpire
as a climax comes very near being 2
riot. 1t is a laughable piece of stage
work and the minstrels deserve more
than praise for their originality.

turned to work III the Burnside shops.
Leaders among the strikers main
tain that the men will stand together.
A meeting in Mechanics Hall shortly
before noon was attended by not more
than $50 strikers. The men are rest
less. A report that a number of
strikers have applied to Master Nc
chanic Barkley for reinstatement was
confirmed by a local business man
who was asked to confer with the
railroad officials.
THE crisis appears to have been
reached" said Master Mechanic Bark
| ley this morning. at is true, abso-
lutely that some of the men have
asked to be reinstated. They have
offered terms which I am not author
iized to accede to- If the men want
to go back under the conditions they
have made for themselves they will
be received. We expect to have
number of the men at work within the
next twenty-four hours"
A business man at McComb con-
) firmed the statement of Master Me-
; chanic Barkley. He admitted that six
: strikers called on him yesterday
morning and asked him to appeal to

l instated. Others have made known
their desire to return to work, but are
afraid of being intimidated.

PAYS TO CATER TO CLEANLINESS

In the eighties, at the beginning
twenty-six years ago Al, G. Field es-
tablished a code of laws governing his
minstrels that have been in full force
since.
There was not many sections or
chapters to the code-just something
like this:
Nothing of a coarse or vulgar ma
ture tolerated in this organization.
You must conform to this or you can
not go on
This rule earned for the organiza-
ton from a certain class the appela-
ton of the Sunday School Show.
Instead of repudiating the newly i'm
posed title Mr.. Field declared he was
proud of it. The code has been main
tanned all the years since. Today
thousands of persons who rarely at
tend a theatrical performance of an!
kind greet the AL. G. Field Create
Minstrels in every community whicl
is proof positive that it pays to cate
to decency.

Gov. Vardaman is looking well and

has of course been out of touch with
conditions in the state for some time,
but learning of the status Of the rail-
way strike in discussing it he said
81 am very much in sympathy with
the strikers. 1t is only by organiza
ton that the laborers of this country
will ever be able to force capital and
predatory wealth to yield to them
fair share of the products of theil
own toll.
"The objection on the part of the
railroad to grant the requests of the
federation of employees is only a con
tinuation of the opposition they hav'
always maintained to organized labor
I sincerely hope from the depths o
my heart that the laborers will vii
: in this contest. While I realize tn
provocation is great, I truly hope tn
strikers will refrain from all acts @
lawlessness.
"Their cause is a righteous one, an
J, they can confidently rely on the fai

Men Alleged to be Implicated
in McComb Attack.
Sppctgi to The Netos.

jackson, Miss, Oct. 10.-Although
evidence has been collected involving
nearly 100 striking employees of the
Illinois Central in violations of the
Federal Injunction issued by Judge
Henry c. Niles, no arrests will be
made during the present week, accord
ing to a statement made at the office

A majority of the alleged offenders
are shopmen and machinists formerly
employed in the shops at McComb,
and who took part in the attack on
trainload of strikebreakers at that
place last Tuesday, during which
more than 1000 shots were fired, and
every window in the coaches shatter
ed by the flying bullets.

has been carefully gathered by thu
posse of deputies sent to McComb b!
Marshal Collins to enforce the injunc
ton order, and in explanation of tn
delay in making arrests it is state
that Judge Niles has issued order
not to complicate or aggravate tn
situation by instituting immediat
prosecutions of the offenders.
AS stated by Marshall Collins, eve
if no overt act of violence had bee
cimmitted, it was a violation OF tn
injunction order for the strikers

and all persons affiliated with the l
Dor organizations who took part
the desperate battle in the freig
: yards are guilty of violating the
junction.

SHORT S3,22S,27O
Much Property Missing From Wash

Washington. oct. 10.-lt is a moral
certainty that the Democratic mem
bers of the House Committee on Ma
val Affairs. at the coming session,will
investigate the completed inventory
of property at the Washington navy
ward which shows a shortage at that
institution of more than three and a
quarter millions. Just now it is be-
ing claimed it is a bookkeeping, or pa
per. shortage, and not the kind that
causes men to be sent to the penl-
tentiary.
The shortage in figures, is $9,2SS'-

worth that much that could not be
found when the property was counted.
At no other yard has there been such
a discrepancy between what the
books call for and the material pro-
duced by those in whose custody IL
had been placed.
The fact of this shortage and the
further fact that Mr.. Meyer has had
four boards trying to systematic ac
counting and management of navy

ground for an inquiry into the whole
subject of navy yards, their location
and management

dollars over to pay the freight of ge
