THEATRICAL MAN, UNDER ARREST
AT ST. PAUL, OPERATED HERE

in other southern cities, who charge
they were swindled by Pickett.
Pickett's alleged method of opera
ton was similar to the south in Still
water. AS charged by the authori-
ties, he advertised in newspapers for
man to become treasurer of a vau-
deville agency. He demanded a cash
bond of $500, the authorities say, from
each applicant. This bond was said
to be secured by a worthless note.
Pickett will be taken to Jackson for
trial. Should he be acquitted he will
be returned to st. Paul.
The w. S. Pickett referred to above
was for a short time last summer
lessee of the Auditorium in this city.
Mr.. Sheffield, who is representative
from Tate county, was connected with
the local vaudeville business and it
was understood, shortly after Pickett
blew" that the former had been
fleeced out of several hundred dollars.

esting, practical and forceful address,
covering such points as timber and
agricultural development, transporta-
tion facilities, lower freight rates,
saying, the result following the i'm
provement of Leaf river would be:
THE further development of the
timber and agricultural resources of
the territory between the port of Pas
cagoula, on the coast at the mouth of
the Pascagoula river, and Hatties-
burg, railroad center in Forrest coun-
ty, a distance of 100 miles;
Additional and improved transpor-
tation facilities along the route of the
Leaf and Pascagoula river and the two
distributing points, Pascagoula and
Hattiesburg;
Lower freight rates for the people
| because of competition of water
transportation with railroads"
Mr.. Lewis covered all his points
thoroughly, showing great familiarity
with his subject, and was listened to
with interest by all present. The
board declined 70 ask him any ques-
/ tons, saying they thought he had COW
cred the subject.
Dr.. Donald spoke of the gravel bust
ness. and the unlimited supply that
could be had with water transporta-
tion open.
| w. H. Moore called attention to the
pig iron situation to be effected by
affordng access to the Alabama fur
naces.
Just before the hearing adjourned
one member of the board said it was
due the people to let them know that
the board does not believe the results
desired can be obtained by the est!-
mated $4,000 required for the work,
and further that no stream in this
country such as Leaf river had ever
been developed, except at immense
cost
H. A. Camp called especial atten-

fact that in every effort to secure new
factories the Commercial Club is con-
fronted with the insurmountable OBJ

Asked by a member of the board if
there were any legal obstacles to TAX

trouble with claimants, he said none
is apprehended.'
Jesse Bounds, of Moss Point, was Of
Benefit to Lumbermen.
Mr.. Jesse Bounds, of Moss Point, a
very large saw-mill operator was in
troduced and spoke at some length.
He believed that the removal of sunk
en- logs will go a long way towards
giving a channel. He said the saw
mill men at Pascagoula could, with a
channel in Leaf River, get their sup
plies all the year and not have to lay
in years supply at one time, as now.

and at a profit. He also mentioned
the immense stock of hardwood that
would be available if there was a
channel in Leaf river.
Strong Argument of v. M. Seaman
V. M. Seaman was introduced by
Mr.. Jackson as one being thoroughly
posted and well qualified to present
this matter Mr. Scaplan spoke from
carefully prepared data, and showed
the varied resources of the section to
be effected. He mentioned how the
| territory had developed with made
quate transportation facilities, and
stressed the value that a navigable
stream, maintained for a large Part
of the year would be to this rich but
undeveloped territory. Mr.. Seaman
| showed how a territory averaging a
mile and half in width, had millions
of feet of hardwood The effect of
water transportation on rail rates, and
fIattiesburg anomalous position as
to freight rates, were strongly
stressed, as was the value of the
towns along the river. The wood re-
duction plants making a market for
pine stumps would all be benefited
by the proposed development of the
rivers,
He recognized the attitude Of the
government towards the development
of the natural resources, and as well
its indisposition to cripple the opera
tions of railroads, but relied on the
showing of the immense resources to
be developed and industries to be
| fostered as a reason for favorable
consideration of the river; az the
same time he is aware of the prac-
tical features of the project which
must be determined by the gentle
men who must view it from the
standpoint of feasibility.

be brought to peaceable close.
Italy's time limit for the conclu-
sion of peace expired October IL, but
on that day she granted three days
grace to Turkey to decide whether
it should be peace or a continuance
of the war.
A definate understanding was
reached yesterday when, on the ar
rival of a special message from Con-
stantinople, a conference took place
between the delegates representing
the two countries.
Italy declared war against Turkey
on September 20, 1911, and promptly
invaded Tripoli A blockade of the
coast of Tripoli and Cyrenaica was
begun by the Italian fleet. Various
coast towns were bombarded and in
a naval battle many of the Turkish
ships were crippled
Severe engagements have occurred
between the Italian troops and the
Turks and their Arab allies, with
large losses on both sides. The coast
is now held by Italy, while the Turks
and Arabs occupy the interior.

ouchay, Switzerland, Oct. TO-
After many month of diplomatic
strife for better terms Turkey sur
rendered last evening and the Otto
man and Italian plenipotentiaries
signed the protocol of a piece treaty,
which ends the war between Turkey
and Italy, and, incidentally relieves the
Ottoman empire of crushing handi-
cap in the forthcoming struggle in
the Balkins.
The precise terms will not be avail
able until defnate treaty is signed
at the end of the week probably at
Lausanne. Their tenor, however, is
well known.
The treaty will provide for abso-
lutte sovereignty of Italy in Lydia,
without formal recognition there of
Italy by Turkey; free exercise of re-
ligious authority by the khalif; Tur-
key to withdraw her regular troops
from Lydia Italy to pay an indemnity
equivalent to Lybia's contribution to
the Ottoman treasury; restitution of
the captured islands to Turkey, with

General EIation in European Capitals.

success of their efforts to induce Tur-
key to conclude peace with Italy.

ers except Italy, for it was realized
that the end of the conflict would
improve greatly the chances of local
izing the war in the Balkans. 1t
eliminates complications which were
almost certain to arise had Italy car
ried the war into Europe.
With Italy once more neutral, the
European concert again is intact with
increasing power to deal with the
final settlement of Near East ques-
tlons. 1t is conceded universally that
the position of the Ottoman empire
has been strengthened enormously
against the Balkan coalition. It is
felt, however, that Bulgaria has gone
too far to retreat and that the for
tunes of Servia and Greece are so
bound up in hers that the quarrel
must be fought out.
France is sounding the powers rela-
tive to calling an International con-
ference to settle the Balkin difficulty.
