BRYAN WILL TAKE A HAND
Tammany's Efforts To Control Patron
age The Cause OF
Trouble.

Washington, D. c.. March S.-When
the Democratic members of the Ways
and Means committee gave seven
votes to John ]. Fitzgerald, of New
York and Tammany Hall, and six votes
to Albert Burleson, of Texas, for
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, they planted seeds of discord
which may soon produce very unpleas-
ant fruit. Already William Jennings
Bryan and William R. Hearst have
urgently wired protest against Fitz-
gerald, and report was circulated yes
terday that Bryan was on his way to
Washington to protest in person.
Stories of Tammany efforts to con
troll the House organization have
stirred tremendous trouble. The fight
is on and will continue till solution
is reached one way or the other II
looks very bad for Fitzgerald.
The principal objection to Fitzger
: aid is the fact that on March Is, 1909
by leading a Democratic detection h
: prevented the overthrow of the Can
. non machine and rules.

: become so warm that the Ways an

Negotiations With Another

The prospects of an aviation meet |

President r. S. Jackson of the Hat

nouncing that they have conflicting
dates and can not come to Hatties-
burg at the time called for by their
contract with the Commercial Club.
Mr.. Jackson is not inclined to agree
to d change of date, doubling that the
aviators could be depended on to COM
ply with any further contract, and he
does not want to deceive the people
by advertising an aviation meeting
unless he knows there will be one.
1t is barely possible that arrange

SHe.
As Viewed in Mexico.

Mexico City, March S.-"The MeXi-
can government has no reason to doubt
the word of the state department at
Washington that the movement OF the
10000 American soldiers to the bor-
der is for nothing more than military
maneuvers designed as instruction for
senior officers.
eve do not believe that in the situa-
ton as it is at present there is any
occasion for intervention by the United
States or any other power. No Ameri-
can property has been damaged by
either side. and, so far as l know,
no complaint has been made by any
American"
Enrique C. Creel, minister of foreign
relations, commented as above tonight
upon the dispatch from Washington re-
garding the mobilizing of 10000 troops
in the vicinity of the international
border. Nothing in the events which
have transpired in Mexico up to the
present time, in the opinion of Minis
ter Creel, would justify intervention
No representations, he said, have beel
made to the Mexican government b.
the United States, Great Britain or an.
other nation that foreigners had sus
tanned any loss or had been place
in jeopardy to an extent that woul
even suggest the necessity for outsid

POWERS VISIT
IS SIGNIFICANT
Treasurer Powers of the Gulf and Ship
Island Reaches Gulfport From
Buffalo.

Gulfport, Miss, March S.-R. E.
Powers, of the Gulf and Ship Island
railroad, arrived in Gulfport Sunday
from Buffalo, N. Y. Just at this time,
when the enforced resignation OF
Judge J. H. Neville, general counsel,
and T. P. Hale, second vice president,
is made public, the arrival of Mr.. Pow
ers, it is believed, may be fraught with
some significance, though he has made
trips to Gulfport before at rather in
frequent intervals.
1t was announced yesterday that the
new schedule on the G. & S. |. road
for which business men of the city
have been waiting patiently ever since
the Christmas holidays, would proba-
bly, go into effect on next Sunday, the
18th. 1t will provide for the leaving
of train No. at 4:10 p. M, instead OF
| . O'Clock. This will allow visitors
from points on the G. & S. |. two
hours and forty-nine minutes to trans
act business here and return home the
same day, instead of only 80 minutes
as formerly, a condition which hat
caused much dissatisfaction amont
not only the people of Gulfport, bu
persons living up the road who wished
to trade here The new arrangement
will also allow passengers on l.. 4
N. train No. ;. due here at 1856, t

GULFPORT GETS
THE GUN SHOOT
Will Probably Be Held May 1920
One of Largest Ever Held
In South.

Gulfport, Miss, March Southport
landed the 1911 shoot of the Mississip-
pi State Trap Shooters League, at a
meeting held at the Edwards House
in Jackson, Mississippi, Sunday after
noon. Gulfport wrested the victory /
from Vicksburg and Laurel. Yazoo
City. which, it was expected would be |
one of the strongest contestants, de-
cided at the last moment to make no
effort for the shoot.
! The shoot, which probably will be
held May IS, 19 and 20, will be one
of the biggest ever held in the South
and certainly the biggest ever held In
this section. The $500 added money
places the shoot in a class which is
eoualled only by the Southern handi-
cap. The date selected, which it is
expected the Interstate League will
confirm, placed the shoot just after
the Southern handicap in the Caro-
; linas and just prior to the Texas shoot
: in San Antonio.
This means that some of the crack
= trap shooters of the country will be
t moving through this section at that
e time, going from the Southern handi
t. cap to the Texas coast.
t The shoot will be conducted undel
d the rules of the Interstate League ant
q some of the strongest professionals IL
p the country will be present. Th
n shoot will be an open shoot to al
g amateurs in the world.
ar The sentiment of the Jackson NEE
al ing was all in favor of Gulfpor
G though of course Vicksburg wa
70 chagrined that she did not secure th
shoot. But when it was seen ths
ad Gulfport had won, all of the club
ii through their representatives, e
va pressed the feeling Of the trap shoe
On ers of Mississippi, that in sending tn
s,, shoot to Gulfport, the chance for Nj
"a sissippis getting the Southern Hant
