LEGISLATURE APPRoP iATEs
$3.50, ,sss.ss TO CARRY ON
STATES BUSINESS.
VERY DRASTIC POOL ROOM BILL
Anti-Frat Measure Passes The House
BY Vote of IT to 2s-confirmation
of Dobyns as Superintendent Of D. 4
D. Institute Held Up.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 22.-The house
on yesterday passed the general ap-
bill to carry on the busi-
ness of the state for the next two
years, most of it being for salaries
for all state officials, judges, chancel-
lors, district attorneys, and the sup
port of state institutions. The total
aggregates $685., S,983.S3. Also the ap-
preparation for the penitentiary, of
$250,000 for each year, was passed.
This institution Is really something
like hundred thousand dollars profit
to the state each year, but the funds
are turned directly into the treasury.
New Revenue Measure.
Also one of the revenue measures
passing the house requires separate
assessment of automobiles of every
variety, motorcycles, motor boats and
schooners. Another revenue bill put
privilege license on peddlers of
fruit, vegetables, ETC., and exemption
is given the person raising stuff and
selling it, providing it is sold by him
self or by his farm or dairy help. The
idea was to get rid of the peddlers
overrunning each municipality selling
such stuff to the detriment of licensed
stores and markets.
Pool Room Bill.
The senate passed the Casteel pool
room bill, requiring that pool rooms
close at p. m. and providing for
revocation of license if minors are al
lowed therein or if gambling is allow
ed therein.
Confirmation Held Up.
Governor Brewer sent message
to the senate asking that confrma-
tion of the appointment of ]. R. Dob
yns as superintendent of the deaf and
dumb institute be held up until the
various committees probing the ac-
counts of that institution could ar
rive at some conclusion on the charges
of extravaganza, mismanagement and
graft made
Antl-Frat Bill Passes.
There was big crowd at represen-
tatives hall tonight in anticipation of
many verbal skyrockets on the Rus
sell anti-fraternity bill which has pass
ed the senate. Mr.. Owens arose when
the house met and stated it had been
agreed by those for and against the
bill to cut out the oratory and sim
ply vote in the interests Of harmony
and good feeling. The roll was there
upon called, and the bill passed by
vote of n to %.
Relmburses jackson.
A bill was passed reimbursing the
city of Jackson for money spent for
paving in front of the blind institute
and state charity hospital, and the
house adjourned. It will meet to-
morrow just the same. even IL 1t is
Washington's Birthday. and the sec
ond anniversary of the triumph Of the
secret caucus two years ago.

plans to give the Masons a rousing
welcome in 1913" said w. N. Driver,
Manager of the Great Southern Hotel

they were entertained in a most Law
ish manner and when Gulfport was
selected for the 1911 meeting the Sc
lection was made without a dissenting
vote, which is the first occurrence of
its kind in the history of the state
association.
Work will begin at the earliest pos
sible date on the plans for the 1918
meeting, and it is probable that the
Gulfport delegation which attended
the Hattiesburg meeting will be given
a reception by the people of Gulfport
as a token of appreciation for their
work in bringing this convention to
this city.

Fifth Excursion of Home
Seekers Aniped TODAY

The fifth excursion operated by E.
A. Cummings & Co., out Of Chicago
arrived here this morning over the G.
Il S. !. railroad from jackson, where
they were met by Mr.. Thompson Of
the local office.
AS in former excursions the number
brought is large and the interest man.
Tested in Hattiesburg and surround
ing territory is very evident. Immedi-
ately on the arrival of the party. they
We're met with conveyances at the
station, and after short inspection of
the city, were carried to the property
of the company.
They will first visit lands in the
vicinity of Breland, going from here
to Clyde and Epley, returning to Hat
tlesburg tonight. A large number of
settlers have already located at Clyde,
and many who came today have
friends who settled there, and are pre-
pairing for crop this coming season.
In most instances these settlers have
already built their homes and COM
menced the active clearing of their
farms. The local office here realizes
that the best advertisement for the
sale of these lands is through the opin-
ions formed by those who have been
here sometime. Accordingly they al
ways carry the new arrivals direct
to the homes of these purchasers.
Whose who come on the excursion

ting the Postoffice Departments re-
port to Congress today said
There is only one recommendation
in which can agree. That is one which
recommends that the telegraph lines
in the United States should be made
r. part of-the postal system and operat-
ed in conjunction with the mail sys-
TEN. This presents a question of
Government ownership of public utili-
ties which are now being conducted
by private enterprises under franchis-
es from the Government.
Il believe that the true principle is
that private enterprise should be per-
mitted to carry on such public utili-
ties under due regulation as to rates
by proper authority rather than that
the Government should itself conduct
them. This principle | favor because
| do not think it in accordance with
the best public policy thus greatly
to increase the body of public SER
wants.
of course, if it could be shown
that telegraph service could be fur.
nished to the public at less price
than it is now furnished to the public
by telegraph companies, and with
equal efficiency, the argument might
be strong one in favor of the adop-
tion of the proposition. But | am not
satisfied from any evidence that if
these properties were taken over by
the Government they could be man.

The President. found much, he said,
to commend in Mr.. Hitchcock's De-
partment. Il cannot speak with too
great emphasis" he said, "of the i'm
provement in the Postoffice Depart
ment under the present management" :"
said the President. He showed that
there was a surplus of $219,11S.12 at
the end of the last fiscal year com
pared with deficit of s17,479.770.47
two years before. This was not to be
accounted for, the President pointed
out, by reductions of force or num-
bers of postoff1ces or salaries, but by
scientific economy.
Mr.. Taft approved the adoption Of

Hitchcock, said that the placing Of
assistant postmasters in the civil SER

system. Preparations are being made,
he said. to establish this system at
about 10000 fourth-class offices.

Hotels Taxed to Capacity.
Never in the history OF Hattiesourg
have the hotels been taxed to care for
visitors as they have been during this
session of the Grand Lodge. The Ho-
tel Hattiesburg, according to the
MANAGEMENT, was filled as never be-
fore. and it could not possibly care for
all those who asked for accommoda-
ton. and it was stated by some of the
older office force that the hotel cared
for more patrons during the first two
Jays than at any time in its history
The Klondyke Hotel reports the
same condition of affairs and all the
uptown boarding and rooming houses
were in the same fix. No complaints
have been heard from delegates In at
tendance at the arrangements that tne
local committee had made to care for
