Delegates Wondering
About Following Oscar
DELEGATION INSTRUCTED TO VOTE FOR THE ALBANIAN
FIRST, LAST AND ALL TIME-wLsoN

Jackson, June 14-Members of the
Mississippi delegation to the Demo
cratic national convention are wonde.-
ing what is likely to happen should
the states choice for the presidency,
Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, retire
during the early stages of the ballot
ing.
The Democratic state convention
held here one month ago attempted
to instruct the delegation to vote as
unit, and to vote first, last and
all the time for Oscar w. Underwood" ."
Granting the validity of this in
struction, which is very much in
doubt, in view of the fact that the
delegates had already been instructed
in a presidential preference primary,
a literal Interpretation means that the
Mississippi delegates would have to
keep right on voting for Underwood,
i'll spite of his retirement, and thus
play no part whatever in the actual
nomination.
Insofar as the unit rule is concerned
several members of the delegation
frankly declare that they do not fee
bound by the action of the state con
vention and, should Underwood be
eliminated, they will vote for whoever
they see fit, regardless of how ma
jority of their colleagues may stand
that the majority has neither the lega
or moraal right to tell them how tt
vote, and it is a matter in which the!
must use their own judgement.

Hotel HATTIESBURG
DAMAGED BY
fire
Blaze Originating In Closet on End
Floor Caused Damage Of
About $1,000

At four o'clock Thursday afternoon
an alarm of fire was turned in from
Hotel Hattiesburg, to which all three
of the fire stations responded with
very quick runs, soon extinguishing
the flames with the use Of chemical
apparatus, without turning on a hy-
drant.
The fire was discovered by a ma
tron of the hotel, when she saw a
large volume of smoke coming from
a narrow closet opening into the hall
way on the End floor. The fire soon
burnt through the 3rd and 4th floors,
but was confined entirely to the mar
row closet section, which leads from
the first to fifth floor.
Much excitement prevailed when 1t
was known that Hattiesburg's hand.
some hotelry was in danger of being
destroyed by fire.
The damage to the building
amounts to about $1,000.

vention to instruct them additional to
the instruction received at the polls
contend that, inasmuch as neither
Champ Clark of Judson Harmon sub
mitted their names at the primary,
neither could be considered as Mis-
sissippi's second choice; that the Sec
ond choice would logically fall, on
Woodrow Wilson, who received lit
tie more than half the number Of bal
lots cast for Underwood. The total
vote, however, did not represent twen-
ty-f1ve per cent of the Democratic
voting strength in this state, and it
Is therefore impossible to tell who is
actually the choice Of a majority Of
the voters in this commonwealth.
Ex-Gov. Vardaman, who was the
dominant factor in the Democratic
state convention, says that Champ
Clark is his second choice, and many
believe that in reality Champ Clark
is Vardaman's first choice, but as a
matter OF political eXpediency, he de-
clared in favor of Underwood. Even
some of the Vardaman supporters on
the delegation, however, disagree
with him regarding Clark, and have
expressed preference for Woodrow
Wilson, both as first and second
choice.
It is believed that there are at least
twenty members of the delegation who
will vote for Underwood as long al
his name is before the convention
and, should he go down in defeat OF
one Of the ballots, they will thel
vote for their individual favorites, re
gardless of that unit rule instruction
from the state convention.

The order has gone forth from the office of the city marshal, issued on the advice of the health officer, that henceforth all dogs running at large in the city shall be adorned with both tag and muzzle, or be sub jeCted to the death sentence without trial, la Madero.
 This regulation will be maintained Indefinitely, probably through the hot weather or until any possible men ace from hydrophobia has been re- moved. Those who object to the muzzle program must keep their dogs tied up. It's the law though it is seldom enforced and would not be now except for a seeming danger from rabies
 The police have killed at least one dog known to have been suffering from hydrophOba and the veterinari- ans have killed few, and it is known that several other dogs have been bitten. Moreover there is an excess of stray dogs in the city that the dog catcher has failed to harvest ard this will help put them out of the way.

 MT Thompson's appearance on the stand was at the instance of the complainant Expert Koiner had se cured data from him in arriving at his cost of laying two. four and six inch pipe MT. Thompson was called to verify the figures used and did so
 The final matter taken up was that of the old vouchers of the company which have been referred to collec lively in arriving at the cost of building the plant. MT. Velie told the commission that the company had easily available all the vouchers issued since 1896, when the Pacific Gas and Electric company acquired the business and that if the com mission desired to put an expert on the stand he would furnish them for inspection before the commission After the advisability of that was other proposition which the cOmmis- sion accepted.
