Railroad Promoter Submits
Proposition to Com. Club

w. G. Seaver appeared before spe-
cial meeting of the Commercial Club
last night for the purpose of present
ing his offer to build the Pascagoula
Northwestern railroad through Hat
tiesburg, and to name the terms on
which this would be done.
In the absence of President Jack
son, Vice-President Robbins presided.
Mr.. Seaver's offer, made after Dr.
j. d. Donald had addressed the meet
ing, outlining the action taken by the
committee on Railways and River I'm
provements, of which he is chairman
and to which this matter had been
referred, was made.
The first offer made by Mr.. Seaver
proposing to build through Forrest
upon the donation of right of way
through the county, depot, yard
grounds and terminal facilities in the
city of Hattiesburg, besides $4,000
cash for $150,OOo stock, was modified
so that per cent bonds shall be sub
stituted for the $15O,OOO stock offer OIL
The Hattiesburg news., 1912-12-20

condition that these bonds be taken
at par.
Mr.. Seaver's plans contemplate a
road diagonally across the state from
Biloxi to the Mississippi river at some
point above Greenville, embracing en-
route, Hattiesburg, Raleigh, Canton,
Yazoo City and Leland.
A motion was adopted approving the
action of the committee in bringing
Mr. Seaver here and referring the
whole matter to them for further ne
gotiations on the lines indicated
Mr.. Seaver speaks confidently of his
ability to build the road and said that
connection with the grain fields of
the Northwest was the object of this
proposed line. He stated that termi-
nails would be enjoyed by the road at
both Biloxi and Pascagoula, affording
deep water inducement for a west
ern connection.
The committee will continue the
negotiations and Mr.. Seaver will take
up with those financing the deal to
get approval of the modified offer pro
posed for Hattiesburg.

pices of the National Civic Federation
a conference was opened here today
at the Metropolitan building, for the
purpose of considering and discussing
a bill for the compensation of work
men in the state of New York. Many
noted legislators, lawyers, manufactur
ers and labor Representatives were
present at the opening session, when
the subject was formally brought be
fort the conference. No formal pro
gram has been prepared for this con-
ference, but it is certain that the dis
cussion will extend over practically ev-
cry important question involved In
the compensation of workmen for In
juries, such as contributory insurance
by workmen. the creation OF a state
fund into which employers who so de-
sire may pay premiums and out OF
which the injured might be compen'
sated, and the desirability Of employees
contributing to the state fund. The
conference is expected to continue In

Just One More Day to
Work For the Big Prizes

in what subscriptions you have on the
morning train, SO as to insure their
safe delivery in the ballot box. Re-
member, If you so desire you may en-
close your subscriptions and money in
a sealed envelope and deposit the en-
velope in the ballot box to be opened
by the judges.
The Time Is Growing Short.
Only little over one more day to
secure subscriptions, the rest of today
and tomorrow. What will you be able
to do during the remaining hours? 1t
is possible that only few thousand
votes will separate the winners of the
two capital prizes from the district
prize winners. Many of the candidates
will realize then that few more sub
scriptions would have changed them
from diamond ring winner to bic
prize winner. Make up your mind to
day to win one of the prizes, and round
up every subscription possible, for aft
er tomorrow night at 8 o'clock it will

Washington, Dec. 2O.-Determinatio
of the administration to adopt a stiff
er policy toward Mexico, as disclosed
in the announcement last night of its
purpose to make fresh representations
to that government regarding con-
tinuation of the rebellion, is directly
attributed to information furnished
President Taft and Secretary Knox by
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson and
other Americans recently returned
from Mexico. Then the Senate sub.
committee, which has been investigat.
ing Mexican affairs, have added some
interesting data to the Presidents
store of knowledge of the deplorable
conditions existing in Mexico.
A combination of all these repre-
sentations has made a profound i'm.

1t has been represented to the state
department that a strict enforcement
Of the neutrality laws is, in fact, re-
sulting in the maintenance of an atti
