EXCITEMENT CAUSED
BY DRUNK negro

A negro named Cochran created
some excitement on Front street Sun
day about noon while being carried to
the city prison, by his preaching and
GESTURES. Cochran came to Hatties-
burg on the Gulf G. Ship Island passen-
ger train from Clyde, where he is
employed by the Lamar Lumber Co.,
and has good reputation. 1t appears
that he got hold of some ''bust head
whiskey or dope" of some kind that
effected his mind and made his pres
ence on the train Objectionable.
Cochran's fine was paid by friend
and he returned to Clyde Monday.

SOCIALIST LEADER WAS ARREST.
ED AND FINED FOR REFUSAL
TO PAY TAX.
WILLIAMS PROPHETIC VISION
Eugene v. Debs, Leader of Socialist
Party Will Speak in Hat
tiesburg.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 13.-The legis-
lative act creating two commissioners
of the supreme court, passed at the
1910 session, has brought into ques-
ton in the habeas corpus proceedings
instituted at Biloxi to secure the re-
lease from Jail of Sumner w. Rose.
leader of the Socialist party in this
state.
Rose was arrested and fined for re-
fusal to pay street tax in the city of
Biloxi, his contention being that the
municipal ordinance was unconstitu-
tional The circuit court affirmed the
sentence, and similar action was ta-
ken by the supreme court when the
case was brought before that tribunal
for review.
One of the contentious set up in the
petition for habeas corpus writ filed
before Judge Niles, of the federal
court, on which Rose hopes to secure
hearing before the United States
supreme court, is that the opinion OF
the Mississippi supreme court was
handed down by Commissioner A. H.
| Whitfield, assuming to render valid
and binding judgment, when he has
no voice in forming the decisions Of
that tribunal, and that the office of
commissioner is entirely unknown
and unprovided for under article six of
the constitution; furthermore, that
the legislature had no authority for
the erection of such an office.
Other grounds set up by Rose in ap-
plication for release on writ of habeas
corpus, which will be heard by Judge
Niles this week, is that the sentence
violates the 18th amendment to the
federal constitution, and also section
112 of the constitution Of Mississippi,
which provides that taxation shall be
equal and uniform throughout the
state.
Rose has been the acknowledged
leader of the little handful of persons
forming the Socialist party in this
state for the past three years. On
one occasion the party put a state
ticket in the field, and the claim is
made that it has enjoyed a large
growth in membership since the last
election, giving promise of an organi-
zation that will eventually extend to
every county in the state.
In this connection it is somewhat of
a coincidence, and of bit more than
passing significance that Eugene v.
Debs, leader of the Socialist party in
the United States, and former candi-
date for president. has arranged to de-
liver a series of addresses in Missis-
sippi. opening at Hattiesburg, on the
6th of March.
This recalls the assertion made by
Congressman John Sharp Williams
three years ago that the Democrats of
Mississippi need never fear formida-
BILE opposition from the Republican
party in the control of state affairs;
that if a second party should be
brought into prominence, contending
for political mastery, it would be the
Socialists, backed by funds furnished
. by leaders Of the party in other states.
Recent developments indicate that
the former Democratic minority lead
er spoke with true prophetic vision.

THIS Is THE DECLARATION OF
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
JAMES WILSON.
MANY believe In PROTECTION
Declares That if United States Handle
Canada's Wheat, Price of Bread
Would be Reduced.

Washington, Feb. 13.-"The pending
reciprocity treaty with Canada will go
some distance toward meeting the de-
mands of the people at the last elec-
tion without interfering with the pol
icy of protection as applied to the
whole world"
This is the declaration of James Will

answer in behalf of the Taft admins

Cleared opposition to the tariff opposi-
ton to the tariff agreement. The an
lswer is in the form of an open letter
made public tonight addressed to the
legislative committee of the National
Grange.
Secretary Wilson agrued that the
cost of production in the United States
and Canada is more nearly identical
with what it is between the United
States and any other country; that the
same difficulties with regard to farm
labor exist on both sides of the inter
national line, and that Canadian and
American farming methods are vir-
tually the same.
"Our town population has grown
much faster than our country popula
tion,' writes Secretary Wilson
"Prices for the necessities of life have
been high, and wages, stipends and
salaries have not kept pace with the
increase in the price of food. There
was a demand for lower tariffs during

Vthe towns. That interest carried the
felection by default. The farmer either

IvAGRANCY ORDINANCE ID BE GIVEN TEST
An Appeal in Womach Case Taken 10 the District
 Court

The test Of the eonstitutionality of city ordinance No. SS, Tor the pun | ishment of the crime of yagrancy l will be carried to the higher courts | by Attorney George If. NeaIe, repre-
 senting W. T. Womach, defendant in
 the case of the city of Bisbee against | W. T Womach. which was tried be fore Judge Morris High of the city court, last week, the defendant being found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of S60 or sixty days in jail.
 The motion for a new trial which
 was made by Mr. Neale following the first hearing of the case, was denied and the case will now go to 1 the district court on appeal.
 The ordinance was passed in. the year 1906, during the administration Of Mayor Gavin and until the present time it's constitutionality had not been questioned. Womach was con. victed on that section of the ordin. ance which defines vagrancy as .1iv. ing in and about houses of i'll fame" and many others have been railroaded out of the city on this same section, so it may be that the appeal repre- sents more than the appeal of an in. dividual defendant.
 Mir Neale contends that the ordin. ance is defective because it provides for a greater punishment than the territorial law covering the same of fense, the ordinance providing for sentence of three months or $500 or both and the territorial law for nine ty days. Mir. Neale cited a Texas case in which an El Paso ordinance was held to be invalid because it pro yided for greater punishment than the state law. The crime in that case was gambling.
 In Arizona. however. the city is given Q special right and power, by legislative enactment, t1 deal with the crime of vagrancy, whereas it was not apparent in the citation that such was the case in Texas. Mir. Flanigan holds that the city is given the power to infiict the punishment provided for in the ordinance in 0ues- ton by a general statute which pro vides that punishment for a misde- meanor may not be greater than $500 fine and three months imprisonment.
 lt is said that the ordinance is not wholly satisfactory 10 city officers and should the ordinance be declared invalid, another will be framed that will make the one now in force seem Ike a frying-2an in comparison win the fire.
 The majority of the class of .ner- sons to whom this ordinance is most often applied usually regard the fine of the either or" punishment a loop hole of escape and should the fine part of the ordinance be knocked out nothing would remain for the defend ant, if found guilty, but a term of i'm. prisonment not to exceed ninety days, according to the state law. A moi uncommon procedure in vag cases fs to impose fine or term of imprison. ment. the alternative being effective in the event the defendant fails to collect and bring into court his fine after six hours from the time of the pronouncement of sentence.
