RUSSIAN BARBARITY
Drunken Cossacks Cut Women and Chill
dren to Death.

London.-An instance of the march of
the Cossacks from Resht to Kasbin was
read to the International News Service
correspondent which, for barbarity,
seems almost incredible. When the Cos
sacks reached Kasbin ahead of q column
of 1000 troops they invested the place
and evicted the residents.
drunken Cossack, according to this
story, was in the act of carrying off the
child of widow whose husband had
served in the civil war against the shah
The woman endeavored to recover the
child, and at her last appeal was given
her little one impaled on a bayonet
At another point 900 women and i'hil,
dren were penned in field that had been
irrigated for cultivation. Then, in the
night, Cossacks opened the sluices and
those who escaped death by drowning
were shot and sabered to death by drunk
en- cavalrymen.

pROCRESSIvES FAIL

DELEGATES GIVE HIM STRONG PER-
SONAL ENDORSEMENT
Clifford Pinchot and Former Secretary
Garfield Fought Proposition to
Name Candidate. y @

Columbus, O.-Progressiye Republicans
of Ohio met Monday, formed perma-
nent organization, adopted a declaration
of progressive principles, but Voted fifty
two to thirty-two not to give their en-
dorsement to United States Senator
Robert NJ LaFollettee, as candidate
for the presidential nomination.
After refusing the endorsement of the
league the delegates voted eighty-one
to eleven in favor of resolution as a
personal expression Of the sn<t,egates
naming Senator LaFollettee as the liv-
ing embodiment of the principles of the
progressive movement and the logical
candidate to carry them to successful
fruition"
The vote was on the adoption of an
amendment to the report of the reso-
luton committee, which had been
unanimous in favor of not naming a
candidate.
Clifford Pinchot, who declared that he
spoke only for himself and in no way
for Col. Roosevelt, and former Secretary
of the Interior Garfield, were the lead
ers in the debate against giving any
candidate an endorsement. Senator
Works of California and Senator Clapp
of Minnesota were equally vigorous in
urging that the Ohio prQgressiyes con-
centrate their efforts in working for the
election of Senator LaFollette.

WOMAN MURDERS
HER S0N-IN-LAW
WAS ONCE CHARGED WITH KILLING
FIRST HUSBAND.
Believe That She Wished to Secure Dead
Mans Insurance and Wife Assisted
Her in Crime.

Mobile.-Arrested within a few min
utes after the bloody body of her son-in-
law, Fred Waserlaben, had been found in
pond near the western city limits, Mrs.
Mary 7. Godau made full confession of
the deed
Wasserlaben had been shot three times,
twice through the head and once through
the arm. According to the confession,
the killing took place at the home OF
Waserlaben after alleged insulting re-
marks were made to Mrs. Godau by Was
erlaben. After the alleged insult, Mrs.
Godau says she saw ,Waserlaben's .revolv-
rron a haif sck, picked rlt sI1i
returned to the room where the policeman
was standing. Il raised the pistol and,
looking him straight in the face, pulled
the trigger" she said. Il thought /
would do a good job while I was at il, so
pulled the trigger again"
Subsequently Mrs. Godau took the
body in a wagon and dumped it into the
pond where it was discovered.
Eight years ago the husband of Mrs.
Godau was found mysteriously murdered
and the woman was arrested for the
crime, but no evidence could be found
and she was released for lack of evil
dence. 1t was claimed the deed was done
to secure his life insurance.
The officers claim that Waserlslben
was murdered to obtain $1,000 that was
carried on his life. They claim further
that the wife of the man was in the
plot, as she knew that her husband was
missing and made no report Of it.
Mrs. Godau is believed to be another
Mrs. Guinness, as her first husband, Will
liam Green, mysteriously disappeared
and was never heard from. The woman
is a cripple, but is possessed of giant
strength.
She admitted also after her first con-
fession that after her return from dump
ing the body into body of water she
cleaned up the bloody room and buried
all the evidence which the officers have
in their possession.

Now Being Shipped to the Cotton Mills
of Europe.


Jackson.-It is not generally known
that in Mississippi is manufactured a
good portion of the shuttles used in the
cotton spinning mills of Europe, but it is
true. At Hattiesburg there is a mill,
VIII does nothing but manufacture
these snuttles out Oh dogwood and per
simmon wood. The mill is owned b
Messrs. Price and Norris, and they ha /.
built up a good business making thu
shuttles, which also have large sale in
the cotton mills of New England For
some time there was good deal of diff
Guilty in securing sufficient wood to keep
the mill going, but that has been adj
justed and plenty of timber is available.
The cotton mill men claim that the Mis-
sissippi dogwood makes the best shuttle
of all, that it is harder, less liable to
split and takes high polish, and this is
true of the Mississippi persimmon also,
and the demand is now keeping Alissis-
sippi's only shuttle mill running over
time to supply its customers.

THE LAW dN CORPORATIONS
STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE HELD LA
BILE FOR DEBTS.
500 Imperfect Con- r.rations in Mi~s-
sippi, Which May Cause "rc4
for Many Stockholders.

Jackson.AThere is a lot of trouble
brewing for a good many people in Mis-
sissippi who have thought that they
were stockholders in corporations, and
which corporations have either gone
broke or otherwise gone out of business.
Ordinarily when a person takes stock
and pays for stock in a corporation, and
the corporation fails, the stakeholder is
not liable any further than the stock.
The very idea of Incorporation is to fix
and limit the concern as a matter of
protection to creditors, among other rea-
sons.
A joint stock company is different.
3 When one of these concerns goes up the
flume everybody interested in it as a
pint stockholder is liable for the last
int of its debts, jointly and severally.
So it has been held in law, that when
corporation attempts to form, and
IS not comply with all the forms OF
", or in other words, does not per
IT. its organization according to the
sSt.ict rule and letter of the law, it ex-
lists and does business merely as a joint
stock company with every member con-
cerned liable for its debts.
The Mississippi law on corporations is
simple, but explicit. One of the re-
quirements is that the corporation, as
the final act necessary to give it legal
existence, must notify the secretary of
state.
Section $50 Of tie code says: Every
! csSpnsa on sf-ga1t:s Shall ritAsr
thirty days after such organization,
make report thereof to the secretary Of
stale who shall enter each report
and index same in record to be kept
in his office for that purpose. Should
such report be not made within the time
required. the charter granted shall be
null and void and all persons doing bus
mess hereunder shall be held to be part
ners in the business and liable as such"
According to the report of the secre-
tary of state there are some 500 OF more
of these imperfect corporations and some
of them have gone out of business owing
creditors. Some shrewd lawyers are now
at work looking them up and every per-
son who was connected with one of these
failed and defunct concerns is liable to
have suit brought against him or her
for the unpaid balance due creditors.

AGAINST ALIEN OWNERSHIP.
Move to Prevent Foreigners Buying Mis-
sissippi Lands.

o1oo1PPA LdAuos
Jackson recent purchase of vast
tracts of the most fertile land of the
state, that of the delta region, by sew
eral foreign syndicates for the purpose
Of farming, and which brought protest
against the acquisition of such tracts by
aliens, on the part of the Farmers
Union OF Mississippi at its recent con
vcntion, viii bear fruit in bill to pre-
vent this.
The first section provides that 'sno
corporation shall hereafter be chartered
to engage in the pursuit of agriculture
in this state, and no lands shall be
farmed, leased or rented for farming plr-
poses by any corporation hereafter Gre
eated, provided, however, that banking
and mercantile and loan companies may
take lien OH land to secure debt, and
at a forced sale may purchase, lease or
rent the lands for farming purposes for
a period of not exceeding ten years.
The second section provides no non
resident corporations save public service
corporations for purposes incident to
their business as such, shall hereafter
acquire land il Mississippi, and provides
that any such corporations coming into
such land for debt VIII forfeit them to
the state after ten years, unless they
are gotten in other hands.

PACKERS POOL HAS
EXISTED Since 1888
MET EVERY TUESDAY AND AL
LOTTED BUSINESS.
Secretary of Fool Tells How the Country
Was Divided and Allotment of
Sales Made.

Chicago. Direct evidence that pack.
ers' pool was in existence from 1898 to
1896, and that it, after suspending op-
erations two years resumed control OF
the country's fresh meat business was
given in the packers trial by Henry
Veeder, who admitted that he acted as
secretary of the organization.
1t was the first positive testimony Of
fered regarding the existence of the old
pool which, it is said, met under the
name of "Postoffice Box 10. 247," every
Tuesday n chicago to Sx the price Of
fresh besf, Gee to be paid
for cattle, F9t = ss sss,r
the amount of meat to b 80
the different centers of :. sriDution.
Henry Veeder, who is son of Albe.-
Fl. Veeder, attorney for the packers,
followed his fRther on the stand as the
second witness called by the government.
He admitted many of the material allie
cations made by counsel for the govern
ment in their opening addresses to the
jury.
He described the meeting held every
Tuesday at which, he said, reports OF
the past weeks business was received
and shipping allotments arranged.
The witness said the country was
geographically divided into five sections,
each known by letter of the alphabet,
and that each of the members of the
alleged pool was similarly designated to
prevent publicity.
He testified that record was kept
of the amount of meat shipped to the
different branch houses and weekly state
ments were sent to members showing
the cost, average price receieved and the
margin of profit on fresh beef in the
different cities.
The witness gave minute descrip-
tion of the intricate system used by
the alleged pool in keeping itskaccounts
and transacting its business.
Attorneys for the defendants made an
unsuccessful effort to prevent the wit
ness from answering questions regarding
the inside workings of the pool, but
Judge Carpenter overruled every objec-
ton

RUSSIANS SLAUGHTER
HELPLESS PERSIANS
REVEALED BY wARSHIPS' LIGHT
IN SwAMPS.
Shocked by Cruelties Great Britain Has
Sent Disavowal to st. Peters
burg.

Washington - While searchlights
streaming from Russian warships lay
bare their hiding places in the swamps
of Bandarijaz, along the Caspian sea,
more than a thousand hapless Persians,
driven from their homes i'll fifty villages,
We're slaughtered in one wild night by
barbarous Turkoman troops attached to
the Russian army.
Shocked by the barbaric cruelties Of
her ally, Great Britain sent note of
protest and disavowal to st. Petersburg.
Bandarijaz is a small seaport town in
the province of Mazinderan, in the
northwest corner of Persia. To the east
and southeast were between fifty and
sixty small villages, now villages no
more.
On the northern side of the interna-
tional border, 1000 Turkomans, even
more barbarotis and undisciplined than
Cossacks, had been concentrated by the
Russian authorities. With provocation
or warning, these assassins were un-
leashed upon the helpless villagers.
Bordering on the Caspian sea in the
vicinity of the hamlets is vast swamp,
dotted by forests. Here in the growing
dusk the perishing Persians sought ref
uge from the Turkomans.
Here, aided by searchlights from the
Russian ships that crept along the coast,
the Turkomans sought them out and
slaughtered them.

LUMBER TRADE OUTLOOK.
Mill Men Are Feeling Very Hopeful
Over Situation.

Jackson Lumber trade conditions in
this territory appear to be improving.
Dressed stock demand from the middle
interior trade has not been as active as
heretofore, but Eastern and export re-
4uirements have enabled manufacturers
Ito dispose of that material at figures
which are above the interior offerings
Stocks are below normal and demand is
keeping pace with output Demand for
special bill stuff is especially good. The
principal call has been for railroad and
car material, particularly framing, sid
ing, lining, etc. Prices have stiffened
and several good-sized orders have been
refused by the manufacturers recently.
