Weather which revived unpleasant
memories of the terrible heat wave
of just year ago, struck New York
and, according to the weather bureau,
the city is likely to suffer for a con-
siderable time. The mercury jumped
yesterday to SO degrees, official, at 3
O'Clock, and some street thermometers
recorded it as SO.
The humidity was excessive and
scores of heat prostrations were re-
ported.
In the heat wave which swept prac-
tically over the whole country, from
July l to 13 year ago, it was esti-
mated nearly 1,500 deaths were caused
by the weather in the larger cities
affected. The deaths in New York at
that time numbered 400. The local
weather bureau was unable to offer as
surances that similar plague of
weather might not be expected this
month. There is positively no re-
lief in sight at preeent," the official
said.
Four deaths were ascribed last
night to the heat Weather Bureau
officials figured that it was the warm
est July 8 that the city has known
since 1876.

to excessive heat Prostrations we're

WORK Progressing
ON CANNING
FACTORY
BUILDING WILL BE OF suesTAN.
TIAL cHARAcTER-coMPLET.
ED SEPTEMBER FIRST.

Work on the Conner-McInnis Can
ming Factory, located next the Mis-
sissippi Central R. R. freight depot,
fronting 60 feet on Second street and
running back parallel with the freight
depot distance Of 200 feet, is rapidly
taking on form. The foundation pill
lars are Of solid concrete, with wide
concrete basis 12 inches thick and
about AKA feet square. These pillars
are four feet high, and on them heavy
sills and extra heavy floor joisrs are
laid. The coal bin is of concrete floor
and side walls, and is 10 feet wide and
55 feet long. The lot on which the
plant is being erected is 100x460. feet,
with the building taking 16 feet off the
Second street frontage, room is left
for a side track and wagon way on the
remaining 40 feet The $50 feet off
the rear end Of the lot, will be used
for the erection of the molasses can
ners at later date.
The object Of the owners now is to
specialize on sweet potatoes and to
be ready for canning them when the
present growing crop is matured
enough to market about September 1st.
The building will be pushed and the
machinery is expected to arrive In
ample time for use when needed.
1t is generally conceded that such
a plant means much to Hattiesburg
and the large and substantial charac-
ter of the building being erected clear
ly indicates the unbounded confidence
Messrs. Conner and McInnis have in
the possibilities of the business.

DETECTIVE VIM
FINED SIO FOR
GAMBLING
CHARGE OF GRAND LARCENY
AGAINST THE sLEuTH WAS
NOT SUSTAINED.

In Judge Powe's court yesterday af-
ternoon a decision was rendered in
the cases of the state VS.. d. s. Winn.
the special detective employed by the
city, who was some days ago arrested
on the charge of gambling and also
the graver charge of the larceny of
$40, which as stakeholder in a game
OF straight" pool, he was charged by
0 A. Bennett as having withheld
from him even though he had won it
in a game that lasted from a. m. till
ii p. m. one day in June. It was
claimed that Winn was keeping the
score of the game, as well as holding
stakes, and that he was favoring one
Naples, the other player and by his
scoring he was beating Bennett cut
of his money. This case was strongly
contested, with Claude Hill, county
attorney prosecuting and Clyde E.
Conner, attorney for the city, defend
ing Winn. Judge Powe took the cases
unedr advisement and on yesterday
dismissed the larceny charge and fined
Winn SO and cost.
The judge expressed the opinion
that since the detective was a law
officer he should not have violated the
law by taking part in gamblers game,
unless it was his intention to turn
up" those gamblers, which he did not
do, when filing charges against mum.

PUGILISTIC Maid
THRASHES BLACK
BELL BOY
HOP FOUND HIDING BEHIND DOOR
IN YOUNG LADY's ROOM is
ROUGHLY HANDLED.

Ardmore, Pa, July 9.-Miss Eliza
beth P Coleman Lewis, Philadelphia
athletic society girl, Monday refused
to appear against a negro bell boy
whom she whipped at the Bryn Mawr
Hotel.
Miss Lewis went to her apartments
and found Harry Davis, strong sew
enteen-year-old negro boy, attempting
to hide behind clothes closet door.
She yanked him out, and with a clean
right-hand swing sent him to his
knees. The negro rose and made for
Miss Lewis, but was met with a
straight left to the stomach which
doubled him up. All the fight had
left him, and he made a dash for the
door. AS he passed the girl she
swung to the ear, knocking him over
chair. Then Miss Lewis pulled
Davis to his feet and knocked him
down again with blow to the nose.
Davis was then taken away by hotel
detectives. He has been employed at
the hotel for two years. For many
weeks the guests of the hotel have
been missing trifles from their apart
ments.
When asked to appear against Davis,
Miss Lewis declared he had been pun
ished enough.

Night as Well Give It up

Washington, July "a nationwide
movement to have President Taft
withdraw as the Republican candidate
is being backed by large number of
Republican Office holders who feel
defeat in November unless the breach
in the party can be healed.
These men include members of Con-
gress, members of State Legislatures
which will elect Senators, State and
county office holders and party candi-
dates. If the movement to petition
Mr.. Taft to withdraw succeeds in gain
ing any volume, it is said these same
men. in the interest of party harmony,
may ask Col. Roosevelt also to with
draw as a prospective candidate for
an independent nomination and per
NIT a compromise selection of some
man agreeable to both factions of the
party. 1t is the desire of the promot-
ers of the scheme that decision shall
be reached before Aug 5, when the
Roosevelt faction to hold convention
in Chicago
The circulation of petitions, it was
declared, would start within a week.
1t was said that the movement would
begin spontaneously in every state.
The organizers now are circulating
blank forms of petitions and appoint
ing supervisors. who in turn will en-
gage canvassers to solicit the sigma
ture of Republicans. The authors of
the plan expect to offer to practically
every Republican voter in the United
States a chance to express his opin-
ion Of Mr.. Taft's candidacy.
The movement is in the hands of
several well known members of Con-
gress They are being aided by many
of the extreme Roosevelt Republicans.
The enlistment of the National pro-
gressive organization in the move
ment has been sought, and 1t was stat
ed that Senator Dixon's organization
is willing to cooperate.
Information that. the petitions are to
be put before the voters leaked out
Monday. No particular person is
authority for the statement, and men,
bers Of Congress concerned were un-
willing to stand sponsors for it until
the movement is under way.
In the circulation of the anti-Taft
petitions an effort will be made to get
them signed by organization Repub-
licans and others who have stood with
the President, as well as by citizens
who have occupied neutral ground
There will be no special effort made
to get progressive Republican sigma
lures, as it is believed that to confine
the petitions to that faction would en-
compass the defeat of the movement.
Those behind the plan say one of
its first results would be to let Mr..
Taft known 1t there are any consider
able number of regular Republicans
who believe he should step aside in
the interest of harmony.
