COCAINE SELLER
GIVEN HEARING
Negro Drugsiet Bound over to Await
Action Of Grand Jury-Bond
Fixed at $1,000.

"Dr." Cox, the negro druggist ar
rested Tuesday for unlawfully retail
ing cocaine, was given a preliminary
hearing before Justice Farley yes
terday afternoon and was bound over
to await the action of the grand jury.
He was held under a $1,000 bond,
which was readily given. The negro
boy who is alleged to have purchased
the drug from Cox was remanded to
jail on his failure to make a $500
bond. He will be held as witness.
The case against. Cox created lively
interest among the black and tan So
ciety, and large crowd attended the
preliminary hearing. Owing to the
number of users of this drug among
the negro population, the officers are
anxious to convict those active in
retailing the same. VIII Beas-
ley, the negro who caused the ar
rest of Cox, reiterated his former
statement that Cox sold him the CO.
caine. Beasely is a puny, emaciated
piece of humanity, showing clearly
the effect the deadly drug has
wrought on his constitution, and his
appearance was pitiful

BRING "MAINE" DEAD HOME.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Today is the
fourteenth anniversary of the destruc-
ton of the battleship "Maine" in Ha-
vana harbor, and 1t will be marked
by the starting of funeral cortege
from the Cuban capital, bringing the
bodies recovered from the wreck to
Washington for burial in Arlington
National cemetery. The Very Rev.
Father John j. Chidwick, who was
chaplain of the ill-fated MAINE" at
the time of the explosion, will ac-
company the remains of the heroes
from Havana to their final resting
place. Father Chidwick officiated at
the funerals of the victims of the ex-
plosion recovered in 1898.
The long protracted task of raising
the sunken Maine" has at last been
completed. What is left of the wreck
will probably be buried" at sea with
full naval honors, according to a plan
suggested by Rear Admiral Fletcher.
1t has been decided that the hulk
should be taken out of the harbor and
sunk just as any old wreck without
tradition or sentiment. All of the
furnishings, armor and equipment of
the vessel have been brought to An
napolis to be distributed among vari-
Gus parties throughout the country.
The larger and more desirable relics
will be placed in the grounds of '1be
Naval Academy at Annapolis and at
Arlington cemetery.

A. Bingham's 100000 suit against
Mayor Gaynor for alleged libel COM
mitted in letter to Mayor Mcclellan
is set for hearing today in the Su-

time of the letter episode, was the po-
lice commissioner of New York, and
Gaynor, then a justice, is said to have
criticised him severely for his action

was Brooklyn boy and was said to
have been repeatedly arrested by the
police of that borough without war
rant or any real charge against him.
Mayor Gaynor, in his communication
to then Mayor Mcclellan, is said to
have accused the police of persecu-
tion and reflected on Bingham's abili-
ty.

Misunderstanding as to what percent
age Of the qualified electors are re-
quired to decide such an election, The
News has interviewed a number of
the best read lawyers in Hattiesburg
to get opinions on the apparent con-
hict that exists between the statute
and City Charter. All Of the lawyers
asked for expressions on the subject
are Of the same opinion. and that is
the statute governs absolutely; that
section IL, of the city charter, is
superfuous and means nothing. The
statute. which says any city operat-
ing under the commission form of
government desiring to abolish same
may do so If majority of the votes
cast in an election held for that pur-
pose, shall declare in favor of IT," is
the law on the subject and an cleo

that law.

the old form of charter granted by the
state officials, 1t was probably longer
drawn out than necessary and maybe
a bit crude in its working, which ac-
counts perhaps for the use of the
language in the section bearing on a
proposed change back to the munich
pal form, which says "a majority of
the qualified electors OF said city"
shall decide the question. In the
opinion of some lawyers, in fact, all
who have been asked for an opinion
that section had no business in the
charter, and that the instrument
should have merely been certificate
stating that the City of Hattiesburg
had elected TO adopt the commission
government and had complied with
the law in doing 30.
Therefore, 1t would seem there Is
no doubt, that in case the necessary
ten per cent Of the qualified electors
of the city sign the petition request
ing an election, It will require only
bare majority of those voting in
said election to return to the old may
or and aldermanic form of city gov
ernment. The voters Of the city who
favor the present government will
have to meet the situation by voting
in the Lection, If it is called, If the
minority is prevented from becoming
the majority.

ANNOUNCEMENT MADE FROM
NEW YORK CONVEYS NEWS
OF TRAFFIC AGREEMENT.
Will COMPETE With |. c.
Trains VIII Be Run to Laurel on N.
o., M. q c., Thence to New Orleans
Over N. o. q N. {. tracks. Gives
Hattiesburs Another Trunk Line.

New York, Feb. B.-The st. Louis
and San Francisco railroad has filed
the last link of its connection into
New Orleans from the North through
a trackage contract with the New Or.
leans and North Eastern railway,
from Laurel, Miss, to a connection
with the New Orleans Terminal Com.
pany, owned jointly by the Frisco and
Southern railways.
This for the first time enables the
Frisco system over its own rails and
tracks jointly owned by the Louis.
vile and Nashville to handle business
between Chicago and New Orleans,
Memphis and New Orleans, Kansas
City and New Orleans, as well as
from Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois and
Indian Territory to both the ports of
New Orleans and Mobile.
A banker characterized the new
contract as one of the great railroad
changes and as one of undoubted
great benefit to the railroads con-
cerned.
In comparative distances the new
route is the shortest line between
Kansas City and New Orleans and be-
tween Mobile and aKnsas City.
Between st. Louis and New Or.
leans it is 26 miles longer than the
Illinois Central and between Chicago
and that point it is only 5S miles
longer.
It will be the shortest line between
st. Louis and New Orleans and be.
tween Chicago and New Orleans
when the construction planned for the
northern end Of the New Orleans, Mo-
bile and Chicago railroad by the
Frisco and Louisville and Nashville
is completed.
The combination of Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, New Orleans, Mobile
and Chicago and New Orleans and
North Eastern will then be strong
and, with the shortest line argument,
will for the first time actively COM
pete with the Illinois Central, at
present the shortest line, for the bus
mess north and south bound to and
from New Orleans and Mobile.
Much more than seventy per cent
of the movement to and from those
two points is north and south bound.
The new trackage contract in con-
junction with the New Orleans, Mo-
bile and Chicago not only makes
new line into New Orleans for the
Frisco, but it strengthens the Louis
vile and Nashville situation.
One important factor is that
through the construction of a bridge
across the Ohio river near Paducah.
now under way, the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, and the Big Four, all
having their terminal at the Ohio riv-
er, will give their partner in the
bridge, the Louisville and Nashville,
which owns a half interest in the
New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago,
large share of business.
This insures business to a more or
less large extent for the New Or
leans, Mobile and Chicago.
