HEAVY RAINS
STOP TRAFFIC
Serious Washouts On The G. & S. 1.
Near Collins, Disarranges
Schedules.

All traffic north on the G. & S. /.
Ry. is at a standstill as a result of
the heavy rains yesterday and the
night before No. 5, out of Jackson
yesterday morning proceeded as far as
Saratoga, but could not come further.
No. 3 yesterday afternoon came in
from Saratoga to Hattiesburg. With
these two exceptions no other trains
have made the schedule.
The rainfall along this line is said
to be the heaviest ever recorded, and
the entire extent of the damage can
not be estimated now. The main
trouble lies between Collins and Mt
Olive on the main line, and the
branch from Laurel to Saratoga is in
very bad condition, the tracks being
submerged at some stretches for sew
eral miles. Some very serious wash
outs occurred at the main point OF
trouble near Collins.
Superintendent Mason and a large
crew of workmen are on the scene
and eXerting every effort to get the
track in condition to move the traffic
but at noon today the water was moi
receding fast and it may be tomorrow
morning before regular schedules car
be resumed. However, No. will at
tempt to get through this afternoon.
The track between this city an(
Gulfport, according to trainmen, is il
good condition.
A small washout was caused on the
NJ. c. near Silver Creek this morning
but the damage was repaired without
any delay to trains.

CLAUDE allen
IS in CUSTODY
Who Had Hunted Him Two
Weeks.

Hillsville, Va, March 29.-Starving,
sleepless and fatigued, Claude Swan
son Allen came out of the laurel thick
ct in the Blue Ridge yesterday, point
ed two six-shooters toward the sky
and gave himself to the posse which
for nearly two weeks has hunted him.
Complacent and almost happy he
sat, sheltered from driving storm in
the little brick Jail, a stones throw
from Carroll county courthouse where
March IA the Allen gang vengefully
killed the Judge, the prosecutor, the
sheriff, juror and a woman specta-
tor.
All day the posses, divided into
small bodies, had been following a
trail thought to be that of Wesley Ed
wards, a nephew of the Aliens. De-
tective Lucas and four men were
working toward Floyd Aliens house,
when twenty-five yards or so off
Mount Airy road a figure creeping
stealthily through the undergrowth
was dimly seen through the mist
which overhung the mountain slope,
Close behind Lucas the other men
brought their rifles to their shoulders
when, to their surprise, Allen stepped
out into the road, his hands upraised,
a pistol in each.
I'm glad to get chance 20 come
in" he said. Il haven't slept in Il bed
since the shooting. I'm hungry"
The young mountaineer swung in
between the men of the posse and they
started back to Hillsville. His pouch
ed eyes and roughened face confirm
ed his plea of exhaustion, but his
broad-shouldered form lowered above
the men who had taken him.
81 could have shot you," he said as
he smiled and nodded toward Detec'
tive Lucas, "but I was a little excited
at having you come up on me so soon

However, the state is destined to

Ex-ATToRNEY GENERAL CALLS
ATTENTION TO CODE CHAP.
TER GOVERNING SELECTION.
CONVENTION PROCESS Is
MANDATORY ON ALL PARTIES
Plain That Delegates to National
Conventions Must Be Selected in
State Conventions
Special to The .NetDs.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, March 29.-The last
hope for a Presidential primary in
Mississippi to select the states choice
for the Democratic nomination went
glimmering today when Hon. ]. B.
Stirling, secretary of the Democratic
state executive committee, and for
mer Acknowledgement, called attention
to the provision of the code chapter
on primary elections which makes il
mandatory on all political parties to
name their delegates to national con
ventions by the convention process.
Not only is it unnecessary, but it
would be illegal to order a Presiden
tial primary" says Mr.. Stirling. "Ii
the legislature desired the state com
mittee to use the primary plan, then
it was the duty of the legislature to
enact statute that would have given
the state committee authority tC
adopt such process. The mere en-
actment of resolution requesting
the committee to order a primary Is
not sufficient.
Suppose, for instance, that we
should order primary, and our dele
gates to the Baltimore convention
would be chosen in this manner. II
is not likely, but it would be legally
possible, for one of the Presidential
candidates to oppose the seating Of
the Mississippi delegation on the
ground that it had not been properly
chosen, and such contest would be
promptly sustained"
This view of the matter, as ex
pressed by Mr.. Stirling, is shared il
by majority Of the members of the
committee, and when that body is
called to assemble next month the
usual resolutions will be adopted pro
viding for district conventions to be
followed by state convention.
