Jackson. Miss, July 26.-The judges
of the supreme court have decided to
postpone the appointment of a repor-
ter to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Capt I. A. Melville until the
October term begins. This is due to
the fact that the statute provides that

supreme court by an order entered on
its minutes. The court has no min
utes" except in term time and the only
method of making valid appointment
is in the mode pointed out by the
statute.

lie. to proceed with the work of get
ting out the two volumes of reports

UNDER ARREST
Accused Of Misappropriating About
5000 From the Brown Furniture
Store.

H. C. Jones, who for some time past
has been employed at the Brown Furn-
iture Store in Hattiesburg as book
keeper, was arrested at Silver Creek,
Miss, yesterday on a warrant sworn
out by Mr.. Brown charging robbery.
Mr.. Jones was on a Mississippi Cen
tral passenger train when arrested

point in Louisiana. Deputy Sheriff
Tom Giles went to Silver Creek and
brought Mr.. Jones back to Hatties-
burg on the night train.
Mr.. Jones was released under a ST.
600 bond. He is accused of making
false entries of totals on his cash
book, and his shortage is said to be
something like 5000, 1t is reported
that the books of the Brown Furniture
Store show that Mr. Brown has made
ERRONEOUS entries for over year past
but to a greater extent during the
last few months.
Mr.. Jones is well known in Hatties
burg and has many friends who are
loath to believe him guilty, notwith
standing the evidnce is strong
against him. Mr.. Brown is not dis
posed to prosecute Mr.. Jones and he
will be given an opportunity to raise
the money he is accused of taking. II
case he does, Mr.. Brown will with
draw his charge.

VOTE ON WOOL RILL
OCCURS TOMORROW

Washington, July 26.-Tomorrow is
the date set for a vote on the LaFol-
lette bill revising the wool schedule
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act in the
Senate. 1t is believed that the meas

Democrats and progressive Republi

the bill already passed by the House
and now on the Senate calendar L
is expected that the President will
promptly veto the bill, should it pass.
The progressives declare that the wool
bin will not be the only one passed
lat the present session, but that Other
measures which will be sent to the
President include revision Of the steel
cotton, sugar, chemical and silk sche
dulles. 1t is regarded as probable thGi

Omaha. Neb., July 26.-Both Demo

gin their state campaign today, follow
ing the state conventions. The Re
publicans met in Lincoln and the Dem
ocrats in Fremont to formulate plat
forms and name the campaign officers.
and the law prevents the conventions
from even passing a resolution indors-
ing any candidate. The officers select
ed by the conventions will not find it
necessary to spend weeks in getting
their organizations into line, as every
thing of that kind is placed at their
disposal the moment the convention is
over. AS a result. the preliminary
campaigning is in full swing today and
will continue without intermission un-
til election day.
The Democrats, for the first time in
many years, are harmoniously organic
ed. Mr.. Bryan is on a Chautauqua
| lecture tour and has had little to say
of late regarding local politics. The
Democrats pin their hopes of success
upon the apparent split in the Re
nublican ranks. The Nebraska Pro
gressive Republican League was form
ed by the insurgents some time ago
after a battle for control with the reg
ulars. Later there was a division
among the progressives, those who

Washington, July 26.-Democrats of
the House of Representatives after a
prolonged caucus yesterday afternoon
ratified by more than a two-thirds ma
jority the cotton tariff revision bill
drafted by the Democratic members
of the Ways and Means Committee,
reducing by nearly one-half the sche-
dulles of the Payne-Aldrich law on
manufactures of cotton. The bill will
be introduced in the House today and
it's passage expedited.
The bill was not ratified without
protest, and a vigorous effort was
made by many Democrats to upset the
party legislative program to prevent
adjournment of the special session of
Congress by blazing away with tariff
revision all down the line, even if
such action would throw the session

London, July 26.-That the Moroc-

have been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness for emergency service.
Statement on Warning.
Premier Asquith has promised a
statement in parliament Thursday on
the Moroccan situation. According to
advices from Berlin negotiations be-
tween France and Germany were pro-
ceeding smoothly until Chancellor
Lloyd-George's speech on July 81,
which was interpreted as a warning
to Germany in the present Moroccan
controversy. The German newspa-
pers now declare that 1t is impossible
| for Germany to modify her demands
in the face of the threat implied in
that speech, because German public
opinion. would never tolerate conces
sions which had the appearance OF
being extorted from Germany under
pressure. Much significance is at
tached to an article published by the
Kolnische Zietung declaring that it is
no longer a colonial but European
question.
The London stock exchange and
the Paris and Berlin bourses are al
disturbed on account of Moroccan ru
mors and considerable business was
transacted at Lloyds today insurine
against risks of war between Great
Britain and Germany.

CHARGED WITH PERMITTING
"sTEEL TRUST" TO GIVE
HARVESTER co. REBATES.
REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATION
"steeI Trust" Said to Have Given In
ternationaI Harvester Company So
of on Each Machine Exported
How Prices Are Now Fixed.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. July 26.-That charges
were made to former Attorney Gener-
al Bonaparte during his term of Of
fice that the United States Steel cor
poration gave refunds to the Interna-
tional Harvester Company and that
the. so-called Harvester trust" sold
machines in foreign countries cheaper
than to the domestic trade was re-
vealed today to the House steel
trust" investigating committee.
The charges we're made in a vol
luminous report made to Mr.. Bonaparte
on the so-called Harvester trust" by
Burdette C. Townsend, special investi-
gator of the department of justice,
now assistant district attorney OF
Oregon. A subpoena has been issued
for Bonaparte. Chairman Stanley ex-
planned that an effort would be made
to have Bonaparte and other officials
tell why no prosecution was institu-
| ted against the International Harvest
er Company on Townsend's charges.
| Townsend in his report says Il
was surprised while investigating this
subject to learn that the steel trust"
refunds to the Harvester company
was three dollars per ton for the steel
used in the manufacture of machinery
exported. thus giving the same result
as if the steel had been imported
The import duty was paid and after
wards refunded under the drawback
law, indicating that steel can be profit
( ably produced in this country and sold
at foreign ports" Townsend reported
that in his Judgment, the international
Harvester Company violated the anti
trust law
Atty-Gen. Wickersham has been sub
poenaed to appear before the commit
tee late today to identify the Town
send report and testify concerning the
International Harvester Company.
How Prices Are Fixed.
That through oral agreement steel
manufacturers now keep up prices and
avoid destructive competition" Just
as effectively as they did under the
ironclad contract agreement of the
Steel Plate Association from 1900 to
1904 practically was admitted yester-
day by A F. Huston, president OF
Lukens Iron & Steel Co., before the
House steel trust" investigating com
mittee The witness said that now
from time to time one officer will say
to another: my price will be so and
so until further notice" but that there
is no general agreement
There is a telling among the com
panies.' he said that nothing should
be done to injure a fellow without Civ
ing him notice"
Mr.. Huston said the steel plate as
sociation was organized to obtaiI
! reasonable prices. The association no
{ only fixed prices, he said. but allotted
< a certain proportion of production t,
