Port-au-Prince, Haiti, May 31.-To-
day is the date set for the law to go
into effect directed against Syrians
and forbidding them to carry on COM
mercial enterprises in the black re-
public. The government is between
the frying pan and the fire in this
matter, as the French government,
which has taken up the cause of the
Syrians, has formally protested again
making the law effective today and de-
manded a delay of six months. The
Haitiens, on the other hand. who are
much incensed against the Syrians,
strongly urge the execution of the
law, and the authorities fear riots and
revolution if the application of the
law is suspended. In this city and
throughout the country the Syrians
operate many stores, and their com
petition has seriously injured the bust

cannot contend. effectively for COM

BANKERS DEFEAT CLERKS
IN A SENSATIONAL GAME

Continuing their record of unbroken
victories for two seasons, The Bank
ers defeated their most formidable op-
ponents, The Clerks, yesterday by the
narrow score of 5 to Z. The game
was replete with sensational and I'M
expected stunts and kept the wonder
ing crowd in suspense throughout the
time of play. McDuff, the famous
twirler of the Bankers was in usual
form and kept the hits scattered Ito
different parts of the field, but in
Holmes he met a foeman worthy of
his prowess. The long boy delighted
his friends with his wierd and unex-
pected twirling. But all joking aside,
both McDuff and Holmes did good
work.
Among the sensational plays was
that of st. John, whose lack of con-
fidence in third baseman Smith, caused
him to try and run Conner down be-
tween bases instead of throwing the
ball, The play was disastrous as Con-
nor proved the best runner and fell
on the base, while St. John turned a
hand spring in mid air. Another SEN
sational play was pulled off by Harvey
Turner, who almost let high fly drop
on him. The work of Umpire Harbi-
son was rotten as usual, but If eth
er side was favored. it was impossible
to distinguish. The players received
every assistance from the spectators,
some of those in the grand stand be-
ing kind enough to grunt for every
grunting batter.

had shared one in the sixth, but it
was only another of Bobbie Wright S
errors, and the best that can be said
for Willie in this regard is that he
carried his first on error all around the
path and brought home a run.
The six hits apportioned to Hatties-
burg were also scattered promiscuous-
ly about among the players, the only
Woodpecker getting credit for two
being Blackwood, and it was scored
on the theory too hot to handle"
Schultz guessed that Blackwood's
bounder would scoot to the east of
his shinbones, and squared himself
accordingly, whereas the aforesaid
bounder skipped blithely to the left
and Blackwood landed safe at first
only to perish miserably a moment
later when Miller retired the side and
closed the game with a fly to left,
beautifully fielded by that good old
speed demon, Willyum Sorrells.
In spite of the fact that several of
the Lawmakers are badly crippled,
bruised shins, charleyhorse, and that
sort of thing, they ran with the high
gear on all afternoon. Physically

Too Much Willie Smith
Defeats the Woodpeckers

Jackson, Miss, May 31.-Attention,
Mr. Umpire! 1t is moved and second
ed By the Honorable Carlos Smith that
in yesterdays ball game all reference
shall be eliminated to second third,
sixth, seventh and eighth innings, and
that the official scorer be allowed only
20 report results from the other in
nings of said game.
Providing this motion is adopted
Hattiesburg will be credited with a
fine, fat victory over Jackson. How
ever, if an insistent demand is made
for the counting of the aforesaid in
nings, then 1t must be reluctantly con-
fessed that the Woodpeckers didn't

RESTORE INDIAN STATUTES
Bringing Whiskey Into Territory Is
Prison Qffense.

Muskogee, Ckla.-United States Mar
shall Grant Victor received notice to be-
gin the enforcement of the old Indian
Territory laws, which were held to be
still in force by a decision of the United
States court OF appeals in the Friedman
case.
This means a revival Of the old days
when a man may be sent to prison for a
term of years for bringing as much as a
pint of whiskey into that part of Okla
homa which until statehood was Indian
Territory. 1t means the appointment of
a score or more deputy marshals, one
or more for each county, for the APP
pointment of United States commission
ers in every town of 1900 or over, and
that the federal courts will hereafter be
flooded with liquor cases. Under this
law a person can be convicted for Gin

into the state or Selling" All whiskey
may be seized at railroad and express
offices and the bottles broken and the
liquor destroyed.

TEN TSIN PILLACED

NUMBER OF BUILDINGS ARE FIRED,
AND MINT IS LOOTED.
CANN0NADING is CONTINUOUS
British Troops Drive Off Mutineers at
Feng-Tai.-Chinese Government Con-
fesses Inability to Preserve Order.

Tientsin.-Rioting of a serious nature
took place here Saturday night. The
outbreak had been feared, and precau-
tions were taken as far as possible to
protect residents from harm. Between
Q and 10 o'clock the soldiers mutined, set
fire to a number of buildings, and then
began looting from HOUSE. to house. They
were joined by the rabble. Shops and
banks in all the important streets were
looted, and some of them were wrecked.
In order to intimidate the populace, the
soldiers kept up a continual gun fire. The
rattle of musketry could be heard
throughout the night. Only a few police
remained loyal, and they were outnunI-
bered and powerless to suppress the dis
orders.
No fewer than fourteen fires were rag
ing simultaneously in various parts of
the city. The soldiers broke irto the
Pei Yang mint, which was set on fire.
wrenched off the iron shutters and evon
making holes in the walls. The mint
was looted of everything portable and
the ground was strewn with empty cart
ridge clips and cases.
An Associated Press correspondent
while proceeding from Picking to Tieptsin
witnessed a critical incident at Feng-
Tai, which was in the hands of the
mutineers. The train pulled in between
lines of troops of the Somerset regiment,
who were %crouching with guns loaded
and bayonets fixed. One hundred yards
away groups of Chinese soldiers were
sulkily discussing the action of the
Britishers. 1t was explained that the
Chinese had stopped the train and had
threatened not to let any pass.
They were given one hour by the
British commander to vacate their posi-
tions. Just about that time 700 of the
1nniskilling Fusilers arrived and began
TO detain a quarter of a mile away.
The Chinese, who numbered 1,5OO, did
not move until the Inniskilling marched
up and took their positions. Then they
scurried away in all directions as the
train continued to Tientsin.
The gentry and officials Of the native
city met this morning and confessed to
their inability to cope with the situation.
They sent a deputation to the senior con-
Sui, requesting the assistance of the for
eign troops to preserve order.
The total foreign forces now available
here are, roughly speaking, 700 British,
chiefly of the Indian regiment; 500 Jap
anese, 300 French, 40 Russians and
Germans, and 20 Americans. Ii is be-
heved it would require a minimum of
$500 men to police the city effectively.

CANAL ZONE SEIZED

CALLS UPON TAFT FOR COLOMBIAN
CORRESPONDENCE.
Hitchcock Says Our Actions Violated .
Solemn Treaty of Peace and

Washington.-The senate today adopt
ed a resolution calling on President Taft
ito submit to it all the correspondence
witlio Colombia dealing with the last
acquisition of the Panama canal zone
by the United States. The resolution
was offered by Senator Hitchcock OF
Nebraska, who urged its adoption in a
speech in which he charged former Pres.
ident Roosevelt with participation in
a conspiracy to foment the revolution,
by which Panama wa lost to Colombia
and the canal zone became the property
of this country. There was no division
on the vote of adoption.
"The conspiracy which resulted in the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Colombian repub-
lie occurred in the United States, with
the approval of the highest United States
officials, and the spoliation was largely
in the interest Of q combination of in
fluential capitalists who controlled the

Legislature
HOUSE CUTS APPROPRIATIONS
A. & M. COLLEGE APPROPRIATION
HAS OPPOSITION.
Voters of Municipalities Given Right to
Repeal Objectionable Ordinances
Passed By Council.

JacksOn.-Thc house was thrown into
a turmoil over the appropriation bill for
the maintenance and support OF the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College at
Starkville. Early in the session a bill
was introduced carrying an a%ppropria-
ton of about $~3sO,0OO for the support
of the institution. The appropriations
committee took hold of the bill, made an
investigation Of the workings and eX-
penditures of the college, held hearings
and then whitfield it down to about $780,
900, or a reduction of 100000 from the
estimates. After the measure had thus
been cut and pruned it was brought into
the house and Chairman Morrison called
it up for passage. A battle royal then
began. Those who favor small appro-
priations. went after it with amend
ments, with the view of further reduc-
ing the appropriations.
Chairman Morrison, in his statement
to the house, said that the committee
had cut out or reduced all of the items
that the college could stand, but the OPP
position forces thought the institution
could stand more, and they slashed
away at the bill, with the result that
most of the proposed expenditures were
further scaled down.
This aroused considerable feeling among
the members of the house. which mani
tested itself when the roll was called OH
final passage.
SiXty-nine affirmative votes, or a ma
jority of all of the members elected, are
required to pass an appropriation bill.
On the lineup the supporters of the
amended bill could not muster but 63
votes. Six short of the necessary 60,
while ~ votes were east against the
bill.
A storm of applause swept over the
hall when it was announced that the bill
had failed to pass. What the attitude
of the senate will be toward the bill
when it reaches that body is a sub
ject of considerable speculation.
The house passed three other appro-
priation bills, namely, $4,000 for de-
fraying the expenses of the farmers
institute workers of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, an %appropria-
ton for the support of the branch ex-
pertinent station at Holly Springs and
an appropriation for the support of the
State Institute fer the Blind at Jack
on.
A provision was inserted i'm the APP
preparation for farmers institute work
STIMULATING that no part of the money
should be expended for tips to walters,
shoe shines, drinks, hair cuts, tickets to
shows, etc. This was to prevent further
scandals. An itemized statement from
the farmers institute workers, submit
ted on demand of the legislature, dis
closed the fact hat some of the states
money had been spent in that way in
the past.
The state of Mississippi will not be
represented at the San Francisco exposi-
ton. Last week the senate passed "A
bill providing for the appointment of "a
commissioner to go to San Francisco
Tor the purpose of selecting a site for
an exhibition building. The bill was
called up in the house and indefinitely
postponed.

The Old Capitol Again.

The old capitol building is a perplex.

killed earlier in the session by one vote.
The proposition bobbed up again and it
is proposed to move several of the state
departments to the old capitol building,

as the historical department. Senator
Burkitt brought the bill up ON a motion
to reconsider and it vas passed with
votes to spare. q
