EVANS VS.. TURNER.
Fast Match Booked for Tonight ct

What promises to be ono Of the best
matches that has ever been pulled OF in
this city is scheduled to take place to-
night between Joe Turner ana Walt
Evans At the Gayety Theater. The two
men wrestled week ago for two hours
and fifty minutes without securing fall,
and both are In prime condition for the
match this evening.
There % no question that the match
between Turner and Evans win be one Of
the best contested that has ever taken
place here. Both men are about the same
In weight. and both have q fne knowledge
Of the game. The bout they should put
up should prove especially interesting
from every standpoint
Evans says that he II in better condi-

Another amateur league Is scheduled
to open tomorrow. The Railroad Y. M. C.
A. circuit is the one that will begin play,
and the Car Department and Southern
Railway are the two teams that are
scheduled to come together in the opener.
The league will be composed of the
same number Of clubs this year as last,
and. according to reports that have come
from the managers. prospects are very
bright for another successful season.
The grounds have been fixed up In good
shape and all other arrangements have
been made for the start OF the schedule.
The garne tomorrow will start at s
o'clock.
That Business has better team than
is generally supposed is certain from a
statement made yesterday by one sclosely
enough connected with It to know what
he was talking about. It was the opinion
of the person mentioned that the team
which beats Business will win the cham
pionship. 1t was stated in plain words
that IL Western wins from Business this
afternoon it will take the school cham
pionship.
Looms Will pitch for Western and
Derrick will do the twirling for Business.
II both boys work at their best there
should not be any great difference in the
scores made by the two teams.
At any rate 1t is probable that which
ever team wins between the two will not
do 50 by very wide margin. Business
is making it's first appearance in the
series. and that should aid Western to
some extent.
The National Athletic Club lost its Sec
ond game of the season in the Independ-
ence League yesterday. when it went
down before the Aloysius club by 5-to-2
score The Nationals played a fairly
consistent game after the first inning,
but failed to get together as they should.
The crippled condition of the club has
caused It to show really worse than 1t
really IL. and 1t is expected before long
to be playing as good ball as any OF the
teams in the circuit.
It was hard lines for. Drummer to lose
his game yesterday after pitching the
kind Of ball he did. Drummer really
worked fine game in the box. but had
IL tossed away for him by his team
mates. Drummer Ia rated as one of the
best twirlers in the 1amateur ranks. and

horst has been a disappointment.
Several times the decision had almost
been reached to make the change. At
such times Hohnhorst pulled OF some
stunts which caused the manager to
withhold his decision in the hope that
Hohnhorsta would s"como- through and
fill the bill.
The announcement given out Wednes-
day night probably means that Holm
horst's major league career is finished as
far as the Cleveland club 'ts concerned.
It's certain he has not played the same
class Of base ball as last year. He has
lost confidence. It is doubtful IL he
could regain confidence even II kept here
The change in the batting order should
add great strength to the club. Pitchers
will think just a tribe longer before pass
ing Larry to get to Easterly.
In the ten games Larry has been passed
six times intentionally when q hit would
have meant one or more runs.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 28-The
first upheaval in the Cleveland club has
taken place. Aroused by the flaws which
helped the White Sox to win the last
two games. Manager Harry Davis reach
ed the decision Wednesday night to re-
move Ed Hohnhorst from first base and
play the position himself.
He also decided on q change in the
batting order. Easterly has been moved
into fifth place, behind Larry. Ryan will
follow Easterly, and then will come Da-
Wis, Turner and the pitcher.
Since the opening of the season Holm
horst has been the weak member Of the
team. Illness In the south caused the
manager to have hopes that he would fill
the bill after his illness departed. Holm

If Western gets through the Business
game today with q victory it will be q

FARMS COMPANY MAKES DEED
PLANTING CORPORATION IN DELTA
GETS READY TO OPERATE.
Much Interest Attached to Document Be.
cause of the Fact That Gov. Brewer
Is Financially Interestd.

Yazoo City.-A deed of trust was filed
in chancery clerks office of Yazoo coun-
ty involving more than a quarter of
million dollars, and is of statewide in
terest because of the fact that Gov.
Earl Brewer is largely interested in the
matter, and the further fact that legis-
lation is now pending in the legislature
that may have very important bear
ing on the future of the transaction.
The instrument is deed of trust
to secure first mortgage bonds OF the
Silver Creek Company, of Washington
and Yazoo counties and involves 4,52s
acres of rich delta lands lying in this
and Washington counties. This was men
toned some months ago when it was
stated that options had been obtained
on these lands by Massachusetts, cor
poration, the price to be paid being $40
per acre, including the live stock, farm
ing implements, etc. These options were
closed some time early in the year, and
the company was then formally organ
ized and bonds are now to be floated in
the sum of $270,000. The trustee named
in the instrument is Charles L. Plunkett,
of Adams, Berkshire county, Mass, and
are made payable at the Graylock Ma
tional Bank of that place, with 6 per
cent interest.

FARMERS URGED TO ORGANIZE.
Government Will Assist in Graduating
the Cattle Tick.

Columbus.-The organization of live
stock association to protect and further
the interest of the Lowndes county stock
owners, is advocated by j. A. KEENAN,,
inspector in charge of the bureau of
animal industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture. The bureau of an
imal industry is doing hard and effective
work in assisting cattle owners of the
infected regions to drive out the cattle
fever tick.
According to statements made by Mr..
KEENAN, in letter addressed to DIR. E..
L. Thornton, inspector in charge of the
work of tick eradication by dipping watts
in Lowndes county, to fully appreciate
the benefits of the work of tick eradica-
ton in the counties of MISSISSIPPI now
engaged in that work plans should be
made early for the development of the
cattle industry on business basis, hav-
ing in view the improvement of the
herds and an increase in the number of
cattle raised. The average value of cat
tie in Mississippi can be quickly doubled
by the infusion of blood of registered
cattle of different types.

LlTIGANTS GRANTED
SEPARATE HEARINGS
DECISION GIVEN IN CUMBERLAND
TELEPHONE CASE.
EFFECT WILL BE STATEWIDE
Justice McLean's Decision Sustains Prin-
cipal Enunciated by Former Justice
Campbell.

Jackson.--There was an unusually
large number OF lawyers in attendance
on the opening session of the supreme
court Monday for the last sitting of the
term begun the second Monday of Oct
ODER, 1911.
Among the number of cases handed
down were several of more than local
Importance, and the most conspicuous OF
these was the decision of an appeal styled
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Company vs.. ]. +. Williamson ct al,
from the chancery court of Pamela
county. This was handled by Justice
Will G. Mclean, who had prepared an
elaborate opinion, the effect of which
was to sustain the principle of law, as
announced by former Justice j. A. p.
Campbell in case reported styled Trib-
bitt vs.. Railroad Company, governing in
junction to restrain the trial of "mul-
tiplicity of SUITS" brought by individual
litigants against defendant corporation
and the opinion in effect restores the
former procedure and declares that each
litigant, Notwithstanding the identity OF
cause, has the right of hearing, and that
the chancery court cannot restrict this
procedure.
The action grew out of the filing of a
number of suits for actual and punitive
damages against the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company, brought by subscribers
to the Rural Telephone Company, for
merly of Sardis, which latter company
had acquired the rights and franchises
of the local concern, and had, as indi-
Gated in the bill of complaint, discon-
nected plaintiffs from the exchange.
The Cumberland Company sued out a
| bill of injunction in chancery to estop
the multiplicity of suits and try the is
sue on one selected case, which, after
hearing by the chancellor, was denied,
and the bill dismissed.
From that decree the Cumberland
Company took an appeal to the supreme
court, which has been pending for some
time, and was denied against the COR
poration by Justice Mclean, with the
court concurring.
This case will in all probability govern
others in the same class now pending in
the chancery courts of other counties for
the same end, viz: to avoid trial of
multiplicity of suits.

MONEY BILLS ARE SIGNED.
Governor Gives Approval to Some I'm
portant Measures.

Gov. Brewer signed the bills making
eight per cent the legal rate Of interest
in Mississippi, and exempting from tax
alton all money loaned at six per cent
or less.
These are perhaps the most impor-
tant measures passed by the legislature
up to this time. No apprehension of a
gubernatorial veto was felt in either
house, but the message announcing that
the bills had been approved was re-
ceived with much satisfaction, especially
among the members of the Farmers
Union, who had earnestly advocated this
reform of the states financial system.
The enactment of the new laws does
not mean a reimbursement of credits Dur
ing the current year, or cancellation of
any outstanding loans, as they do not
become operative until January !, next,
and i'll the meantime bankers and money
lenders will have ample opportunity x
make necessary adjustments.

Employers Liability.

The McLaurin bill to abolish the fel.

other persons was called up. An amend
ment to the bill was offered by Senator
McLatrin to provide that any contract
made in writing, which alters, modifies
or changes part of the act shall be null
and void. The bill is one of the most
drastic aimed att he railroads that has
been offered at this session of the legisla-

son whether employed by a corporation
or in the kitchen of a private home. I'm
der the provisions of the bill there is no

words, the employer is held responsible

OUTSIDE LANDowNING BILL.
Prohibits Corporations Owning Land for
Agricultural PURPOSES

Jackson.--The Bailey bill, prohibiting
outside corporations from holding or
owning land in Mississippi for agricul-
tural or farming purposes was passed
by the senate. The bill is a substitute
for house bill No. 5000, which disap
peared from the files of the senate after
being passed by the lower body. The bill
is almost duplicate of the measure that
is missing. Several amendments were
adopted, one making the act effective
January 1, 1918. The bill was bitterly
fought on the floor of the senate. No
tice was given of motion to reconsider.
If the bill is finally released by the
senate 1t will go to the house, where an
other lively time is expected. The orig
inal bill passed the house by large ma
jority. If the house refuses to accept
the senate amendments that will send
it back to the senate again.
