ADVERSE REPORT
is MADE ON PLAN
Government Will Not Purchase
Grounds OF Jamestown
Exposition.

Washington. April ia special
eoard of Investigation appointed by
The Secretary of the Navy TO look
| INTO the feasibility of purchasing the
Jamestown Exposition property from
its present owners for governmental
purposes to-day reported adver sely to
the plan.
| While this decision would appear to
be final, the department has Just re-
auested -Alvah II. Martin. of Norfolk,
to prepare full data regarding the
property and to submit 1t as early as
possible. In view of the fact that the
| House Naval Affairs Committee has
| never looked with favor on the plan
to have the government get control
Iof this property, and also because of
the report of the special board just
made to Secretary Meyer, tho prospect
is not bright for an early sale.
Among the well-bnown politicians
| of Southwest Virginia In Washington
today were the following: John NJ
Parsons. 6. o. McAlcSander and H. c.
weaver. They were in consultation
| with CONGRESSMAN Slemp, and later
| saw Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. Cnbell regarding certain internal
revenue matters in Virginia.
Although 1t is understood that rhe
visit of the three virginians was OF
| be learned regarding II except that
they were here and saw Slemp and
Cabell.
Several interesting post-office fights
are going on in different parts Of vir-
ginia, and it is said that President
taft is considerably puzzled what TO
do in some of the cases
At Rocky Mount. where there will
be vacancy soon. four men arc after
the place. Lewis w. Morgan wants
1t. as do DIR. Green, II. r. Adams and
b. a. Davis. The race is said to he
well contested one. and 1t is not
known yet who will win.
| Equally hot is the fight for the Office
at Buena Vista. James L. Updike, the
monument. Is opposed by Roy Hart
and w. l.. Shafer. Tho regular or
sanitation is said to be behind Hart
and giving him its Endorsement which
means that lie probably will land
There are also several other va,
oancies at other Offices in the State
1t is understood which are likely TO
caiisc lively scramble before the
Eght is over
The Interstate Commerce Commits.

the Louisville and Nashville Railroad

phosphate rock from Mount Pleasant,

Ton This permission was granted 10
give stanton the same rate enjoyed
as Basic City Buena Vista and other
nearby points In Virginia where rates
are not now in accord with tho fourth
section of the act to regulate COM
merce.
The commission also has received a.
petition for rehcaring in the case of
the Stoneea Coke and Coal Company
against the Louisville and Nashville.
II was recently decided in a case
before the commission that there was
no discrimination against stonega in
| favor of Norton. because Norton is on
the line of the louisville and Nash

The petition will be considered at an

ident of the distilling company; .iohp
NJ. Rhea. manager OF tho dis.illery's
ployes. are charged In three indicL-
ments with violations OF the Uaited

His Job.

Every morning as he set forth to
work a young man in Washington
passed clean, pleasant-faced, black
mustached man, followed by jovial
looking dog.
The two met so regularly that they
got to nodding to each other, neither
with the remotest idea who the other
was. From nodding they passed to the
good morning" stage, and one day the
younger man paused to pat the other
mans dog. They fell to discussing
different brands Of dogs, and the black
mustached man said he regretted that
such small yards prevail in Washing
ton, as he was used to having several
dogs around Evidently he hadn't lived
in Washington long.
You're in the government service 20
inquired the young man.
The other man owned up that he
was.
Whats your job?" pursued the
young man.
"Oh, I'm secretary of war;" replied
Stimson, modestly.

THREE KILLED IN DUEL
MRS. ROUSE SAW BOTH HUSBAND
AND SON DIE.
Family Feud Resulted in the Death Of
Jeff Warren, Father Of Accused,
John Rouse, and 15-Year.
Old Son, Garland.

Fulton.-The sole survivor of @ quar-
tette composed of two fathers and their
sons, who engaged in deadly combat with
shotguns in field fifteen miles south
Of here, Sid Warren % years old, was
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury on charge Of murder. JEFF
Warren, Sid's father, John Rouse and
his son, Garland, were the victims.
The battle was the result of an old
feud starting, it is said, in quarrel over
depredations alleged by Rouse to have
been made by Warren's dog.
According to testimony adduced at the
preliminary hearing John Rouse and son
were at work in field ON the Rouse
farm, when Warren and his son came
upon them. All the men, including Gar
land Rouse, who was only Is years old,
were armed with shotguns.
The most graphic testimony was that
given by Mrs. Rouse. She stated that
an hour after her husband and son went
10 E06 uclQ LO WUIk slit saw zen w al
rem and his son pass the house, each
armed. Soon after she heard shots and
the agonizing cry of her husband calling
for her.
On reaching the scene of the encounter
her husband cried out: "They have killed
your boy!" Hardly had the words left
his lips when the wife, powerless to re-
Bist, was the witness of Sid Warren's
shooting Rouse to death.
Her husbands death being almost in
Simultaneous, the frantic woman rushed
to where her son lay and reached his
side barely in time to hear him breathe
his last
The family feud was forgotten in the
presence of death. Sid Warren and the
woman whose husband he had just killed
together carried the bodies of jeff War
rem, Sid's father, and the Rouses, father
son, to shady place. the authorities
were notified and physician summoned.

Plan Adopted.

Jackson.-A decidedly new departure
was ordered by the general board Of
trustees of the educational institutions
Of tina state in the way of purchases
Heretofore the subject of purchasing
supplies for the big institutions has beer
one of prolific insinuations. The "outs'
were always saying things about the
Sins" and vice versa. The board has put
an end to all that Hereafter all pur-
chases for the University of Mississippi,
the Industrial Institute and College, and
the Agricultural and Mechanical Collegd
at Starkville, will be made after an adj
vertisement for ten days has been pub
lished in local paper giving notice OF
the intention of the college to purchase
supplies, enumerating them, and amounts
needed, and inviting bids. Then the bids
will be opened, and certified by the
president of the institution, the secre-
tary, and win be approved by the chair
man of the executive committee. Then
the purchase viii be made, everybody
will have show, and there is nothing
that can be complained of in the ar
rangement.
