GOVERNOR GETS LOAN
MONEY WILL BE ADVANCED TO
STATE AT A Low RATE.
Gov. Brewer Managed to Place the
Loan Authorized by Legislature
With New York Bankers at
Az Per Cent Interest.

Jackson.-Gov Earl Brewer returned
from New York where he succeeded in
negotiating a loan of 100000 to meet a
prospective deficit in the state treasury
anticipatd by the legislature.
Gov. Brewer tried to negotiate the
loan with banking Institutions within
the state prior to the New York trip,
but the best offer he could get was 6
per cent interest, and none of the
Mississippi fnanciers seemed to be espe-
eially anxious to loan to the state at
that figure.
Gov. Brewer negotiated the loan
through friend whom he met in Boston
last summer while attending the meet
ing of the American Bar Association.
The money was secured at AZ per cent
interest, which means a saving of about
$4,000 or $4,000.
Gov. Brewer had hardly touched the
platform at the union station until he
was swallowed up in a maelstrom of
politics. Delegates were arriving on
morning trains from all directions, and
the governor was carried along over to
the Edwards where the political pow
wowing was started at daylight. He
did not get an opportunity to make
connections with breakfast and renew
acquaintance with his family until
nearly 9 o'clock.

GOVERNMENT SUES
The COFFEE TRUST
RECEIVER FOR $4,000, 900 PROPER
TIES PETITIONED.
INJUNCTION IS ASKED. FOR
English, French, German, Belgian and
American Merchants Are Defend
ants-Restraint of Trade
Charged.

New York.-Attorney General Wick
ersnam has moved against the so-called
coffee trust, or Brazilian valorization
scheme. In petition in equity filed in
federal court here the valorization plan
il declared to be violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The court is asked to decree the scheme
unlawful, to enJoin the valorization COM
mittee from Withholding coffee from the
market and to appoint a receiver to see
the 950,000 bags, valued at $10,000,000,
now alleged to be stored in warehouses
of the New York Dock Company.
The government also applied for
temporary injunction restraining the
valorization committee from removing
or disposing of coffee held in America
pending the termination of the issue.
Members of the valorization commit.
tee have agreed and conspired among
themselves, the government charges, to
withhold from the market large quanti-
ties of coffee and raise the price to an
unreasonable extent. They have thus at
tempted, it is declared, to restrain the
coffee trade throughout the world and
60 injure and defraud the public for
their own enrichment"
The suit has distinctly international
aspect. The Brazilian state of Sto Paulo
is party to the agreements which are
declared unlawful in America. The gov
ernment holds that the Brazilian state
was induced tn enact laws and nntar
in agreements in connection with the
valorization plan by those interested in
Increasing the price of coffee.
As the United States consumes forty
per cent of all the coffee sold in the
world, the petition declares every act
which prevents its Importation in nor
NAL quantities or increased prices il a
direct restraee upcr, the foseiga apd in.l

LATEST CREVASSE
MOST DESTRUCTIVE
ADD THOUSAND SQUARE MILES TO
INUNDATED AREA.
rs PARISHES NOW AFFECTED
$500 Square Miles OF Louisiana Lands
Inundated and More Than 100000
People Driven From Their
Homes.

New Orleans. - With approximately
$500 scquare miles of Louisiana's lands
inundated by the Mississippi river food
waters, and more tAan 100000 peopls
driven from their homes in the parishes
west of the river from the Arkansas line
almost to the gulf, the most serious
crevasse of the present disastrous flood
-Hymelia- promises to add another
thousand square miles Or more to the
ovgaowed teE'itosz, - s@ke homeless
thousands of people and add millions of
dollars to the property damage done
within the state.
The property damage already wrought
by the floods in this state is enormous.
1t will amount into the millions-no one
has attempted to even approximate it,
for the state has been too busy with the
work of rescuing people and live stock
in the flooded territory and in caring for
the thousands of homeless and destitute
people. The loss of live stock has been
exceedingly heavy, but, although more
than 25 parishes have been swept by the
llOOO, bhC llStr III kuONu uuludn flCtlluS
is less than 40. The territory now in
water in Louisiana comprises parts of
"a parishes, with an area five times as
large IS the state of Rhode Island, al
most four times as large as Delaware,
as large almost as Rhode Island, Con-
necticut and Delaware combined and al
most the size of the great state of Mas
saehusetts. Within another ten days
five other parishes will feel the effects
of the terrible waters from the Missis-
sippi broken levees, which hourly are
creeping upon them, WHICH no hand can
stay.
Except for small stretch of land in
West Felinciana and another small
stretch in lower st. Bernard, the over
flowed territory in this state extends
along the west banks of the Mississippi
river from the northern part of the state
to the extreme southern part, 800 miles
in length and arying in width from 10
to 80 miles.

CALL FOR COTTON MEETING
Members of Exchange Will Confer in
New York July 13.

New YORK July l3.
Louisville, Ky.-At conference here
of members of cotton exchanges from all
sections, a meeting of the insurance,
shipping, railroad, banking and cotton
interests was called for July 13, in New
York, to finally dispose of the trouble
some insurance question.
A resolution was adopted to the eff
feet that: sIt is the sense of this meet
ing that cotton should be properly COW
cred, with the ends sewed and the bale of
the proper density, and that we viii lend
our efforts toward accomplishing this
end, but we consider that bale of cot
ton with two uncovered sample holes
does not constitute bad condition, SUCH
sample holes being absolutely necessary
for the proper conduct of the business,
and we believe the steamship agents
have shown that claims due to open sam
pie holes have been frivolous and
trifing."

U. D. C. GAIN 500 MEMBERS
PRESIDENTS REPORT SHOWS PAST
YEAR MOST SUCCESSFUL.
Membership Urged to Aid in the Move
ment for the Erection of a Monu-
ment to the Confederate Vet
erans at Beauvoir.

Natehez.-Before nearly one hundred
delegates of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, Mrs. S. T. Rose, presi-
dent of the state chapter, delivered the
presidents report at the business meet
ing of the convention and recommended
several important steps be taken by the
organization this year. Mrs. Rose
called special attention to the fact that
during the past year the local divisions
of the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy throughout the whole state
had made mere progress along the diff
ferent lines OF their work than at any
other time in the history of the or
ganization.
Mrs. Rose complimented the differ
ent chapters on the efficient work that
they had done during the past year,
stating that through the new member
ship contest that the president had
organized, over 500 new members had
been enrolled on the membership list
of the organization.
Each division of the organization
showed marked improvement in their
work and new interest has been taken
by all members in the work of the
chapters.
For the coming year Mrs. Rose rec
commended that all the various chap
ters of the state aid toward the Mar
garet Davis Hayes scholarship fund.
The various divisions of the organ
iation were asked to work harder for
the erection of the monument to the
Confederate veterans at Beauvoir, and
to start vigorous campaign for the
preservation of the old state house at
Jackson
These measures will be urged through
out the whole year and every effort
possible will be made to get the legis-
lature to pass a bill regarding the
preservation of the old state house.
The members were also called on to
support the Heritage" the official
paper of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, as this is the only state
that maintains its own paper.
Aftef shs presidents rkl5Sf " tne va
rions committees and other officers, in
Guiding the treasurer and secretary,

ENJOIN TIMBER LAND TAX
FEE CHARGED FOR PRIVILEGE OF
HOLDING WOODED LANDS.
Non-Residents Fire First Gun in Fight
on Law-Violation of Fourteenth
Amendment Is Charged.
State Is Subpoenaed.

Jacksonville expected happened when
State Auditor Duncan L. Thompson and
State Treasurer P. S. Stovall received
subpoenas each in his official capacity
to answer bills of injunction in which
they are made respondents. It was the
signal that the first gums had been
charged for firing at and dismantling
if possible, a certain specific act of the
legislature, which from its very incep-
tion seemed questionable, and which its
author, the man who occupies by virtue
OF his office the governors chair, upon
the introduction of the measure himself
seemed doubtful.
Two bills were filed in the chancery
court here, drawn by Green & Green, rep
resenting the plaintiffs. The first OF
these is styled A. L. Kreutzler ct al. vs..
Duncan Thompson, auditor, and 2. s.
Stovall, treasurer, and is direct attack
on the validity and constitutionality of
chapter 112, senate bill 495, of the acts
of 1912. This is the act:
''To levy, collect and enforce the pay
ment of an annual privilege tax or occu-
patton fee upon all persons, associations
of persons, business firms or corporations
pursuing the business of buying, owning
or holding more than 1000 acres of tim
Der land in this state"
Plaintiffs aver that they are non-resi-
dents, A. L. Kreutzler being resident
citizen of Wisconsin, Zerlena Knox Win
ton resident of Minnesota and r. N.
Day a citizen of Louisiana, who jointly
and severally own and occupy largo
tracts of land in Scott and Smith coun-
ties, Miss. In a voluminously drawn
declaration the plaintiffs specify how,
in order to successfully conduct the bus
mess of timber getting, they must of ne
cessity secure large tracts of land, much
inexcess of 1000 acres, and containing
in excess of 1000 feet of merchantable
timber.
1t is contended that the bill in general
IS unconstitutional, in violation of the
fourteenth amendment and pray that
writ Gf Injunction may issue in order to
ressrsfn the enforcement Of the new
law.

TEDDY INTIMATES
THERE MAY Be DO |
SAYS DISRUPTION WILL FOLLOW
ATTEMPT AT BOSS RULE.
WILL NOT STAND FOR FORCE
Wild Cheers Greet Him-"The Chicago
Convention Will Not Be Controlled
by Fraud or Force" Says
the Colonel.

Columbus, Ohio.-A yelled threat to
bolt the Republican party if President
Taft is nominated by the seating of
fraudulently elected delegates was voiced
by Col. Roosevelt.
1t was while Roosevelt was pounding
the president for winking, as he charged,
at the election of delegates by fraud that
the colonel made his threat The
colonel adyerted to the action of
the Tstt leaders in the state 81 Wash
ington in holding a "rump convention
and arbitrarily electing fourteen dele
gates at large after shutting the Roose-
welt men out.
when Mr.. Taft, says the Chicago
convention will be controlled by the
friends of constitutional government he
means that it viii be controlled by
such men as Lorimer, Barnes, Penrose
and by the delegates fraudulently elected
delegates from states like Washington,
avowedly they would be seated, not be-
ceuse they represented the people, but
because they do not represent the peo-
ple," declared the colonel. ''Mr. Taft is
mistaken. The Chicago convention will
not be controlled by fraud and force in
this manner.
"The attempt to so control it," the
colonel went on with increasing empho-
sis, "will be unsuccessful. If successful,
let me tell you this" and Roosevelt
pointed his finger at the crowd, s'it would
mean the disruption of the Republican
party"
The colonel's utterance was hailed
with q roar of cheers.

TWO BOYS FOUND DEAD
Cincinnati Babies Missing Since AprA
% Found.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-The corpses of two
little boys, discovered in the great feed
box of horse stable here turned out
to be the bodies of Robert and Urban
Nichols, the tots who disappeared from
their home on April 20.
The boys father found the corpses.
He had dipped a shovel into the feed,
and when it came in contact with re-
sisting mass he poked down further till
he came upon a little foot. Startled.
the elder Nichols tugged at the foot till
the body Of a small boy was yielded.
1t is believed the boys came to their
death while playing about the big feed
box. Evidently they fell in, were over
whelmed in the mountain of yielding
feed, then were suffocated.

REVIVE COTTON ASSOCIATION.
Spectre Talk Only for Ultenor Motive
Saws Hightower.


Jackson.-President G.. r. Hightower
of the Mississippi Farmers Warehouse
Company has received letters from bus
mess associates and other source which,
he states, indicate quite clearly that
some persons are attempting to reviy e
the cadaver of the erstwhile Southern
Cotton Association, and for ulterior mo-
tives. One such letter received by him
from correspondent in Choctaw county,
stated that the writer had been ap-
preached by the so-called representa-
tives of the Southern Cotton Associa-
tion," who claimed that they represent
ed his tHightower's) plans and projects
for handling the cotton crop. The writer
of the letter says in closing:
IF you are acquainted with the prop
osition, may I ask if you think It good
for the cotton grower"
As stated by Mr.. Hightower, the only
proposition which has for its object the
handling and financing of the cotton and
its products from the grower to the
spinner or merchant, is that embodied in
the Farmers Warehouse Company sphere
of operation, and that there are men
who are quite ready to spring some
other scheme under the same alleged
dictatorship, he is quite certain. Is he
ID informed, Farmers Union locals in
different sections OF the state, who are
in touch with the warehouse system,
are quite likely to turn down any prop
osition which does not wear the stamp
and cuuntersign of the Warehouse Com
pany.

MISSISSIPPI STATE FAIR.
Jackson County Tropical Fruits Will. Be
Exhibited.

MISUNDERSTANDING Mcdonald of the

celebrated Jackson county exhibit Of
tropical fruits apd sub-tropical products,
under the direction of Frank H. Lewis,
who has made a success of it heretofore
will be one of the features of the fair.
1t was not displayed last year, aud there
were many inquiries for it. The display
of oranges, lemons, mandarins, grape
fruit, kumquats, pomegranates, figs, pc
cans and other products of like nature,
all grown in Jackson county, is most
astounding, and a revelation to people
who had no idea Mississippi could pro-
duct such fruits.

CHANGE DIOCESE MEETING.
Bishop Bratton Selects Jackson in Place
of Vicksburg.


Jackson.-Acting under authority con-
ferred upon him by the caucus of his
church, the Rt. Rev. Theodore DuBose
Bratton, bishop of the Episcopal diocese
of Mississippi, has for sufficient reasonS
decided to change the place of the meet
ing for the annual diocesan council from
Ali Saints College at Vicksburg to st.
Andrews Church at Jackson At the
1911 meeting of the council at Natchez,
after some spirited and animated discus
sion, which revolved around Pass Chris
tian, Biloxi, Gulfport, Vicksburg and
Jackson, the All Saints College PROPOSE
tion was accepted. 1t was held out as
an inducement that by holding the coun-
Gil in the college building all the mem
bers, who would be housed therein, would
be together and the work would be at
tended to more expeditiously.
Bishop Bratton realizes the serious
conditions confronting all the river COM
munities, also the flood and its conse-
quences, and after conferring with the
rector Of st. Andrews and its vestry,
decided on the change, and further the
centrality of Jackson.
The dates for this council are June 4,
and 6, beginning at pm. on the night
'of the 4th, and it is expected to be q
most important meeting.
