Big BARGAIN
EVENT TOMORROW
Haisfeld's Opening Sale Is Attracting
Unusual Attention-Lasts
Fifteen Days.

A merchandise event that is attract
burg territory is NJ. S. Haisfield's
Spring Opening sale, which starts to-
morrow. Last season this establish
ment inaugurated its spring season
by the use of four full pages of adver-
Using in The Daily News. The sale
this year has used almost as much
display space for the opening an
nouncement, while the country about
Hattiesburg has been covered by a
careful distribution of circulars. Mr..
]. E. Pelleteri, one of the most success
full sales managers in the south has
had charge of the publicity work and
the store arrangement, and his we'll
prepared advertising copy, and thor
ough manner in which he has covered
the field speaks well for his knowledge
of the sales business and for his I'M
firing energy.
The store is closed today while the
goods are being marked down and the
interior is being arranged and deco
rated for the opening. Mr. Pelleteri
is arranging the stock to facilitate
easy trading; many additional sales
people have been engaged and all
steps are being taken toward waiting
on the trade without delay. The stock
is all brand new, just purchased by
Mr. Haisfield in New York, and an
offering of bargain prices on this class
of merchandise at the opening of the
season IL unusual.

DR.. BOWLING
IS THREATENED
Black Hand Letter Sent the Doctor
For Attempts to Make New
Orleans Clean.

New Orleans, March 29.-The start
ling signature affixed to a letterreceiv-
ed yesterday by Dr. Oscar Bowling,
president of the State Board of
Health, was a crude outline of a
human hand four by eight inches in
size, and filled in with black ink The
letter itself contained the intimation
that Louisiana's foremost sanitation
enthusiast does not know when your
life is to be ended" Taken out of an
envelope that gave no hint of its
most unusual contents, the epistle
made the doctors hair stand for sew
eral minutes. What he read was:
1--WE are letting you know in these
few lines, you, DR.. Oscar Bowling, if
you will not stop to carry on the dis
turbances and upsets which you have
made in State of Louisiana we will
see you at any which you do not
know when your life is to be ended.
DR.. Bowling has met with many in
fiuences since he began his fight to
clean up New Orleans. Many trans
gressors of the Sanitary Code coaxed
and cajoled; one tried bribery-but
| this is the first Black Hand letter he
has yet received. 81 hope it is the
last" he said, regarding 1t rather
obviously, 1T gave me the shiverf
for moment"
The probability of it's being a prac
teal joke was discussed at length. Z"
thought for while of putting it il
the hand of the police" DR., Bowling
finally stated, but that wouldn't d.
any good, and it might be thought tina
l was taking it seriously. I'll have /
as souvenir, and the sender cal
just as we'll know that it will TAX
more than Black Hand letters to kee
New Orleans insanitary."

NOT THOUGHT BRANDT
WILL BE IMPRISONED.

New York, March 29.-After exam
ing Al witnesses, the grand jury in
vestigating the Folke Brandt case
handed up a presentment yesterday,
holding in effect that neither Morti-
mer L. Schiff or his counsel Howard
Cans, had been guilty of conspiracy,
in causing Brandt to be sent to plis-
on for thirty years for the alleged
burglary of the Schiff home At the
same time the jury held that Brandt
should have been indicted for grand
larceny instead of burglary in the first
degree. The court refused to receive
the expressmen to this last effect. Il
is not believed Brandt will be i'm
prisoned again.

SENATOR DONALD DISCUSSES
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

Editor News:
In view of the fact that real soon
the people of our city will be called
on to decide the question of continu!
ance of the commission government,
l thought it proper to advise them
concerning certain amendments to the
law which were made by the recent
Legislature The first section of the
law has been amended so as to read
as follows:
THAT the people shall elect said
commissioners FROM the city at large
without regard to ward lines, and
when said commissioners shall have
been installed into office they shall
elect one OF their number President,
who shall be the Mayor, and shall also
elect one of their number Police JUS
tice, land another one of their number
Police Justice pro tenn"
The purpose in this amendment is
two-fold; viz. First, to settle the ques
ton of the right of the commissioner
to elect a Police Justice, which right
as is well known, has already beer
called into question, and one on which
/ there seems to be some doubt in the
minds of some members of the lega
fraternity. The second and I consider
the most important purpose is to elm
mate as far as possible all politics
from our municipal affairs. If ther'
is anything that the people do no
need it is a political ring or machine
governing their schools, their home
and practically their social affairs, t
say nothing of the maintenance of a.
army of office holders as pensioner
on the community. If the plan adopt
ed does not knock out the possibilitie
of machine methods and influence
then I confess there is no way tina
, suggests itself to my mind, by whic
4. it can be accomplished. .
In addition to the above amendmer
it was sought to have the Recall
: engrafted into the law, but this wa
| lost because the Governor vetoed tn
bill containing the recall provision
However. for all practical purposes v

Forum of the People

are as we'll fixed without it, if the peo-
pie will only exercise the power and
authority that is given them under the
present law, as the amendment pro-
viding for the election of commission
ers places all on an equal plane and
any of them may be called to account
at anytime ten citizens will sign pc
tition and present it, Now, If anyone
will give just little time to the seri-
GUS consideration of this question
am sure he will convince himself that
under the present form of commission
government the people can't exercise
quite as much authority as they may
wish or is necessary if they only will
do it.
Four years of responsibility with all
the intelligent thought that l could
apply to it convinced me that the old
Aldermanic method was cumbersome,
political, unresponsive and expensive
as compared with the more modern
business method
And by way of parenthesis, l wish
to say that my associates and assist
ants during those four years were
above the average and every one did
his best. We believe that we managed
the city's affairs as intelligently, as
honestly and as economically as any
other set of officers had done or could
do, under that plan, and yet the un
improbable records of the city bring:
out the fact that last years expenses
were from $4,000 to $4,000 less thai
the best year of the preceding ones.
True there has been no decrease il

form Of government, for there is none
perfect and surely none will ever be
perfect or approach thereto until the
people, the source Of power demand
it. 1t will be just as good as they want
and no better.
In conclusion let me say that under
our present commission form we can
have Just the kind of government We
want for less money less politics and
less ocrruption and so lers wake up
and put a quietus on the effort to re-
turn to the old, Anticipated system.
