the Secretary he regarded the advisory

That ended the story OF one more ef-
fort to trump up trouble for Wiley. It
illustrated. to the minds Of the COM
mittee. how small thing could be
raRnified into a grave offense-when
DIR. Wiley did It, and Mr.. McCahe
turned his glass on it.
Asked a question by Representative
Floyd. DIR. Wiley fatty declared that
throughout. from the first time the law
was enforced. the makers of injurious
foods or drug preparations had opposed

Representative French of Idaho, who
has all along been devOutly support
ing Nj. McCabe and helping to develop
points in the interest of the Admin

In cases when prosecutions are
actually started, do you find evidence
Of any lack of diligence in pressing

NO. As soon as a prosecution gets
started, it's out of the solicitors hands
and in control of the Department Of

The committee and the audience
laughed and Mr.. French tried again.
Can you suggest a machinery that
would improve your situation in getting
your legal work done?" he asked.

There was another laugh at this cool
proposal to abolish Mr.. McCabe, ard
the committee got interested at once.
The plan was discussed in some detail.

seemed probability that the committee
might recommend It Is an amendment to

Representative Sloan wanted to know
who was the eminent chemist whom the
Corn Products Company offered a fee TO

Higgins, of the committee. didn't want
the name brought out, and IL was not
mentioned. DR.. Wiley explaining that

LABOR AGENTS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Boil WeeviI Section Of Delta Losing
Hundreds of Negro Families at
Betnest of Agents.
Special to The Nel0s.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 29.-The farm
ers of the state, particularly in Kinds
and Sharkey counties, where the boil
weevil played havoc with the cotton
crop of the past season, are thorough
ly aroused over the invasion of la
Dor agents from other states who
have come here to steal away plan
tation laborers. A farmer who lives
near jackson, speaking to several
friends in the Cotton Exchange yes
terday, declared that there are only
three families left out of fifteen he
had on his place at the beginning of
the season. The large syndicates
that have purchased land in the Del
ia are charged with sending labor
agents to entice their plantation
hands away.
Two agents were discovered at
work in Issaquena county," said the
planter, "and it was several days be-
fore their purpose was discovered,
When the farmers learned the pur-
pose of their visit they got together
and informed them that they were
not desirable. and advised them to
move They departed without pro-
test"
According to reports from Sharkey,
an agent named George Hawkins, of
Vicksburg, reached Rolling Fork, last
Sunday afternoon. AS soon as his
feet touched the ground he was wait
ed on by delegation and was inform
ed that it was reported to the said
delegation that he-Hawkins-had
been sent by his employers to pay up
the back accounts due by the negroes
on a large plantation ard had secur-
ed agreements from them to move
away. Hawkins is said to have ad-
mitted that such was true, and he
was informed that the people of Roll
ing Fork, in fact the entire county
were opposed to such tactics.
We advise you to get back on the
train and go back to where you came
from" Hawkins was advised.
And he took the next train away.

M'CONb Force
TO BE REDUCED
Half of Present Guard Will Probably
Return to Their Homes, Leav-

(By Associated PrcSS.) p

jackson, Miss, Nov. 29.-The mill
tary forces at McComb City, main
tanned at the request of the Illinois
Central to keep down trouble, will be
cut down to half the present mum
bers if Col. sam l. McCants, Of the
Second Regiment, so recommends.
There are few more than 100 men
on guard in the shops, and those who
have studied the situation believe
that one company of fifty men will be
sufficient.
Adjutant General Arthur Fridge, Of
the Mississippi National Guard, left
yesterday afternoon for New Orleans
with the rife team to participate in
the rife matches to be held in New
Orleans. He stopped off at McComb
for brief inspection, and according
to his plans will confer with Col Nc
Cants as to the advisability of cut
ting down the forces.
| United States Marshal Fred Col
Inns, who is perhaps, as close to the
true condition of affairs at McComb
Water Valley and other points along
the railroad is of the opinion that
peace can be preserved at McComb
City with fifty men.
"The strikers are making a play to
prevent the men going back to work,
but they are getting tired of doing
nothing and will soon quit" he said.
81 don't think that there is any dang
er of an assault on the shops, but |
feel certain that if any of the men
venture upon the streets they will
meet with assault"
Marshal Collins still keeps a force
of men on duty wherever the injunc-
tion has been put into effect and will
have them ready to meet any emerg-
ency until the injunction is dissolved.

DUEL On BRIDGE;
one IS DEAD
The Other Carried to Jackson in
Desperately Wounded Con-

Special to The Ne,0s.

Special to The Ne,os.
Jackson, Miss, Nov. 29-Reports
reaching here from Charleston, in
Tallahatchie county, are to the eff
feet that Charles Chapman. a white
man, who is in Jail charged with the
murder of George NJ. Lamboy, a we'll
to-do farmer, living near Phillip, is in
a critical condition as the result of
wounds received in the duel he fought
with Lamboy, on the bridge across
the Tippo creek. last Sunday after
noon. The friends of the wounded
man telephoned here yesterday after
noon with a view of making arrange
ments to have Chapman removed to
a sanitarium to be treated for his
wounds.
Chapman and Lamboy have been
enemies for sometime past, and ac-
cording to reports Chapman went out
Sunday armed with a pistol to look
Lamboy up. One report was to the
effect that Chapman sent word to
Lamboy that he was waiting on the
bridge to see him and that I.amboy
sent word back that he could not
leave the house because his wife was
Ill.
Those who We're with Chapman de-
clare that he said that he was going
to the home of Lamboy. Just what
occurred there is no one able to say.
but the supposition is that Chapman
called Lamboy out of his house and
shot him. Another report is to the
effect that Chapman went into the
house and started firing, and that
Lamboy shot him several times be-
fore he fell. There is still another
report that Lamboy met Chapman at
the gate and started firing.
When Chapman was lodged in Jail
by deputies Brown and Steele he was
not believed to be seriously wound
ed. but recent developments indicate
that he is in bad way and may be
removed to Jackson for treatment

ONE MAN POW Err.

Pekin, Nov. 29.-Han-yang has been
occupied by the imperial forces,
which crossed the Han River twenty
miles above that place. Wu-chang
has made a provisional capitulation,
and it is evident that the government
is getting a strong hand in that part
Of Hu-peh Province, where a few
weeks ago the rebels seemed to have
supreme control. There is no news
of Ii Luen Heng, the revolutionary
commander, and it is not known
whether he led the defense Of Han
yang or directed it from Wu-chang
1t is not believed the rebels will sur
render, as they fear slaughter but
will prefer to take chances in flight in
the open country The rebels yester-
day endeavored to obtain the terms
offered by Yuan Shi Kai three weeks
q go, but it is reliably reported that
Lieutenant General Fang Kwo Chang,
&C lmander of the imperial troops at
Hankow, has refused. The foreign
settlements suffered heavily, A Han,
kow consular report says that 1t is
foregone conclusion that the imperial
lists would win if they attacked seri-
ously because Of their superior orga-
nization During the attack every
position the rebels assumed was heav-
lily shelled. The imperialists number
ed probably 10000 modern drilled
men. The rebels were for the most
part volunteers. perhaps equal in
number to the imperial forces.
Two days ago Premier Yuan Shi
Kai's position seemed hopeless. He
was deserted by former followers,
upon whose help he counted. Both
Chinese and foreign residents in Pc
kin believed the dynasty was on the
verge of abdication. Friends urged
the premier to capitulate; others,
fea6ng his assassination, endeavored
10 persuade him to take refuge in the
foreign concessions at Tien-tsin.
Today Yuan Sh Kai still is one

self both executive and legislative
movers, but it is now expected that
