will go far toward discouraging the
habit of carrying concealed weapons
and thus prevent a number of homi-
cides which would not occur, but for
the existence of this habit.
Sixteenth: We suggest that in ev-
cry trial for crime only one charge on
the reasonable doubt and presumption
of innocence shall be given, and that
shall be for the defendant in the fol
lowing form, to-wit:
The Court charges the jury for the
defendant that the defendant is en-
titled to the benefit of every reasona-
BILE doubt arising out of the evidence
or want of evidence in the case, and
before he can be found guilty you must
believe from the evidence that he is
guilty beyond any and every reason
able doubt. If the evidence can be
reasonably accounted for on any other
theory than that he is guilty, your
duty is to acquit him. The defendant
is presumed by the law to be innocent
of any crime charged in the indict-
ment, until his guilt has been estab-
lished by the evidence beyond any
reasonable doubt.
There are a great many other i'm
provements and needed reforms in our
criminal system, perhaps, which we
have not suggested because in the
midst of our busy occupations for the
last year We have not had the time to
critically examine all our statutes, but
the above suggestions we have made
after full deliberation and considera-
ton and we hope they will meet the
approval of the Association as we feel
confident that they will result in a
very much more efficient administra-
ton of criminal justice than we have

laws be passed than now exist for
tampering with jurors, or to punish
the common law crime of embracery,
and that it ought to be made a felony
punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary for anybody directly or
indirectly, to approach a juror who
has either been summoned or selected
for the term, or to discuss with him
any case pending in the court for the
term for which he has been selected.
One of the crying evils of the time is
this tampering with or fixing, jurors
in both criminal and civil cases, and
we suggest further that the law be so
or bailiffs shall be allowed to serve
in such capacity for a longer term
than the term of the sheriff under
whom they are appointed continuous
ly. This will secure around the Court
House a new set of executive officers,
each four years which will very much
assist the court in the discharge of it's
duties.
Fourteenth: We suggest that the
law be so amended as that a stenogra-
pher sworn by the court to keep the
secrets of the grand jury room, as
grand jurors are sworn, may be taken
into the grand jury room by the dis
trict attorney and there he may take
down the evidence of the witnesses
which he may be required to tran
scribe and furnish both to the state
and to the defendant, but he shall not
be present in the grand jury room af-
ter the evidence is closed and while
the grand jury is celebrating upon
the case.
Fifteenth: We suggest that the law
ought to be so changed as that in
every case of homicide which occurs
by means of the use of deadly
weapon which had been concealed by
the accused in whole or in part. i'm
mediately before the homicide, that
such killing shall be prima facia evil
dence of guilt of murder and the bur
den of showing justification or excuse
for such killing shall be upon the de-

There are managers and managers
of baseball teams. Some are good
managers and poor players; others
good players and poor managers; and
then there are some who neither play
well nor manage we'll; but Hatties-
burg is just about as favorably pro-
vided in this respect as any
league team anywhere, for we have
in Carlos Smith both a first-class
manager and a first-class player, and
this fact was strongly illustrated in
the beautiful game provided the fans
at Hamper Park yesterday, in which
Yazoo City went down in defeat by the
close score of 1 to 0.
No prettier contest has been wit
messed here this season, and while the
visitors lost, they have the satisfaction
of having played the game from start
to finish. NJ Smith did the twirling
for Hattiesburg while McManus was in
the box for the visitors, and both pitch
ers earned laurels and general com
mendation for their high-grade work.
Smith proved his mastery of the situa-
ton in the third, when the visitors
filed the bases with no one out. 1t
looked mighty dangerous and score
or more seemed certain. But Smith
hitched up his trousers, waved his
arms few times, and Hendrix, next
up, famed the air. Henry, the next
victim, thought he had nice one, but
it turned to a most difficult fowl, fall
ing almost on top of the grand stand.
With any other catcher, it would have
proven an opportunity gone to waste.
Not so with Wick. Then as always
he was on the job, and Henry was out.

TUTWILER SOLD
TO the TIGERS
Hattiesburg's Crack Second Baseman
Brings Record Price
OF $4,000.

Tutwiler, Hattiesburg's crack Sec
ond baseman, has been sold to the
Detroit Tigers for 100000, and will
report to Hughie Jennings after the
present season. The deal was closed
last night, 10 per cent of the purchase
money being paid in cash, and the re-
mainder to be paid July LIST.
This is the largest price ever paid
for Cotton States League player, but
Tutwiler is well worth the money. He
is sure to be a great ball player, and
is a clean, welI-behaved clever gen.
tleman with it. He led the Hatties-
burg team last season in batting, and
his average so far this. season is above
400. He fields his position bang up, is
hard worker at all times, and is pop
ular with his teammates and the pub
lie,
The deal was made with Scout
Lowe, who spent yesterday in Hatties-
burg. Mr.. Lowe saw the games with
Greenwood last week, and was deeply
impressed not only with Tutwiler, but
with the Hattiesburg team as a whole.
1t is not at all improbable that the
Tigers will make a nice offer for an
other Hattiesburg player within the
next few weeks.

LOST TO NoRMALs
Cadets Show Slump and Lose to
the Warrensburgers II to 0.

The Wentworth team which
went to Warrensburg yesterday
was beaten by the Normalites of
that place by a score of II to
0. The cause of the defeat is
what some people call hard luck
and what most call playing the
rudimentary form of the game.
The Warrensburg team could not
gain as much as could the cadets
by regular football; but they
punted better and were more
active at following the ball.
Both of the scores came in the
first half. One was the result of
a vertical punt of Slusher's which
a Normalite grabbed and raced
across the line. The other was
the result of a blocked punt.
Sunderland once ran around
the Warrensburg team for a
touchdown, but the play was not
allowed on account of illegal use
of hands on the part of the ca
dets. Shortly after this Mitchell
was put out Of the game for un-
sportsmanlike talk to the referee.
Slusher once carried the ball to
the Normal s 3 yard line, only to
tumble when he was tackled.
Sunderland had to go out of the
game on account of a cramp in
his leg, and then Duke, who was
put in, suffered badly sprained
ankle. The makeshift back
field, however, did better than
the regulars, for it prevented any
more scoring.
The absence of Roberts, who
was kept out on account of his
shoulder, was badly felt. The
team which plays Missouri Wes-
leyan Thursday will be much bet
ter than the one which lost to
Warrensburg yesterday.

POULTRY ON PARADE
The First Show a Success. I
Birds Well Behaved.
The

The first annual poultry show
of the Lexington District Poultry
Association came to a close
Thursday evening and was a
most successful start for the new
ly formed organization. The show
started Monday morning and
there were about sixty pens en-
tered before the entries closed.
E. G. Branch, a professional scOr-
er from Lees Summit, was the
judge of the fowls and his fav-
orable comment on this show in
comparison with that of older
organization was more than en-
couraging to the officers of the
Lexington Association.
The Lexington District Poultry
Association was organized about
eight months ago and now has a
membership of nearly a hundred.
The first set of officers elected
are: H. G. Gelzer, President !;
). E. Yingling, Vice-President; O.
W. Wilcoxon, Secretary and
Vince E. Owen, Treasurer. 1t is
TO the work Of these officers as
sisted by members of the organi-
zation, that the success Of the
first poultry show is due. Since
the forming oof the Lexington
Association a great many fine
birds have been brought into
Lexington and the prospects are
very bright for the 1912 show.

HIGH SCHOOL RoMPED
Defeated the Cadet Third Team
SO to 9.

The high school team took the
rubber from the academy third
team yesterday by a score of 36
to 2. The third team defeated
the high school early in the sea-
son 7 to 0, and later the high
school turned the tables 30 to 5.
1t was expected yesterday that
the high school would win, but
no one thought the score would
be so big.
During the first half of the
teams were about even. Each
was much better on offence than
on defense. The cadets started
by coming near to scoring and
would probably have put the ball
over but for a tumble by Adair
After that the ball see sawed.
But in the second quarter the
high school scored and after that
it was all off. The cadets were
clearly ratified and the high
school began gaining at will. An
other touchdown was made be-
fore the end of the quarter. In
the third period the civilians
made three more touchdowns,
nearly all of them on long runs.
In the fourth period the cadets
braced a little and again came
close to scoring; but they could
not quite make it.
The lone score for the Went
worth team came as the result
of a back pass by the high school
On a kick of. The pass went
behind the goal line and was
fumbled. Barnes, thinking it
was a touchdown, made little at
tempt to run it out after he had
recovered it.
1 Shelby, as usual, was the star
for the high school with Mann a
close second. Vaughan shone in
the kicking department and in
the pulling down Of forward pass
es. Barnes was strong on hit
ting the line, while Moorehead
showed a great deal of class in
running the team For the
Wentworth team Motley was the
one good man of defense, while
Adair made most of the gains.

Robbed During Church.

Sunday while the family of
O. 0. Wilson was attending
church, some one entered the
house and ransacked it from eel
lar to garnet. Many articles
of value were taken by the pill
lager, including a considerabl
sum of money. A strong sus-
picion points to one knowing the
lay of the premises pretty well,
and no doubt will be apprehend-
