CUMBERLAND TO
PAY TWO TAXES
STATE WOULD COLLECT FOR PHONE
AND TELEGRAPH PRIVILEGE.
STATE WILL PROVE MERGER
Pending Litigation Is Expected to Prove
Whether an Understanding Exists
Between Western Union and
Cumberland Companies.

Jackson.-State Revenue Agent Writ
land Telephone and Telegraph Company
to show cause why that corporation
should not be held to the state for priv
ilege tax made and provided to be as
sessed against telegraph companies. The
law imposes a privilege tax on telegraph
companies and an altogether separate
and distinct privilege on telephone COM
panies. If the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company is telegraph COM
pany doing business as distinct and sep
arate from its telephone traffic, then the
state revenue agent wishes to be shown
how it is that the corporation escapes
payment of the privilege tax for both
lines of business.
In order to get at the matter, there
is suit now pending in the Kinds
county circuit court, which, when de-
cided, as it may be shortly, will be
taken to the supreme court for decision.
The defendant company is resisting
the charge and when the time for argu-
ment and showing is reached, wary
and experienced counsel wiz be heard
from on each side.
The Cumberland officials contend that
they 10 not operate as telegraph COM
pany, as such, the telegraphy feature be-
ing merely incidentl to the carrying on
of its bona fde business as a telephone
company. 1t is also believed that the
pending litigation may develop whether
or not there is traffic merger between
the Cumberland and the Western Union
Telegraph Company, as the attorney
generals department appears to believe
does really exist.

AWARD AGAINST HATTERs
$4,000 VERDICT IN NOTED Boy
coTT CASE.
Jury Gives Manufacturers $4,000,
Which Is Trebled by Provision in
the Sherman AntI-Trurt Law.

Hartford, Ga..sr 80 verdict for
$4,000 and costs was awarded for
the plaintiffs, D. E. Loewe & Co., of
Danbury, against members of the
United Hatters' Union of North Amer
lea in the United States district court
here.
Under the Sherman antitrust law,
this award will be trebled, making
the total amount $240,000.
1t took the jury four hours to reach
the decision, most Of the time being
spent in examining the expense ac-
count of the plaintiffs. The verdict is
for the full amount sought.
This already famous case has been
before the court for nine years, dur
ing which time it has gone to the
United States court of appeals twice
and once to the United States SUI
preme court. In the first jury trial,
three years ago, the award for the
plaintiff was $222.0O0
Steps were begun by the defense to
appeal the case again.
Suit was first brought in 1902
against 240 mmbers of the United
Hatters of North America, residing
in this state, and was based on the
allegation that a conspiracy existed
to injure the business of the plaintiff,
a soft hat manufacturer, because he
declined to unionize his factory.
In both trials evidence was present
ed aiming to show that certain labor
unions had instituted a boycott
against the plaintiffs business.

JURY IS ABOVE AVERAGE
TWELVE MEN ARE SWORN TO
TRY LIEUT.. BECKER.
Most Intelligent Since the Molineaux
case-All Are Married, as
Defense Fought For.

New York, N. Y.-The most intel
ligent jury sworn to try homicide
case here since the ordeal of Roland
B. Molineaux, a decade ago,'was that
sworn in to try Police Lieutenant
Becker for the murder of gambler
Herman Rosenthal.
Every man who passed the scrutiny
of counsel for both sides and the final
analysis of the accused policeman
himself was far above the average of
the usual juror in ability. AS in the
Molineaux case, the defense insisted
that the men selected should be able
to act and think Independently.
In addition every man chosen is
married, this being one of the hinges
Becker positively insisted on, and he
declared when court opened that he
was well satisfied with the men
chosen. The men are:
Harold B. Skinner, 35 years old,
electrical engineer, married, foreman;
Robert c. Purcell, 40 years old, ex-
pert chemist, married; John T. Har-
dy, 55 years old, retired manufacture

ROOSEVELT SHOT
BY INSANE MAN
WOULD-BE ASSASSIN ESCAPES
ROUGH HANDLING.
MERELY A FLESH WOUND
Maniac Had on His Person Several
Rambling Statements That Any Man
Seeking Third Term Should Be
Killed.

Milwaukee.-Co Theodore Roosevelt
was shot in the breast by an assassin as
he entered an automobile in front of the
Hotel Gilpatrick to start for an audito-
rum, where he was to speak. He helped
to overpower the evidently insane man,
insisted on going to the hall, there
quieted the crowd that heard he had
been shot, spoke from $3.50 until 9:45
o'clock, though apparently weak, and
then was taken to an emergency hospital.
The bullet struck roll of manuscript
of his speech, and this probably saved
his life. After an hours Questioning the
assassin gave his name as John Schrank,
of $40 East Tenth street, New York.
From notes found in the prisoners
clothes it is evident he is demented on
the subject of Col. Roosevelt running
for third term.
The positive statement that Col.
Roosevelt was not injured seriously was
made by DIR. Frederick A. Stratton, of
Milwaukee, one of the physicians who
examined the colonel. DR.. Stratton said
that there was no cause for alarm as
to the colonel's condition.
A written proclamation found in the
clothing of the man who did the shoot
ing reads:
Sept. Is, 1901, 1:30 am. In dream
[ saw President Mckinley sit up in a
monks attire, in whom / recognized
Theodore Roosevelt. The president said:
This is my murderer; avenge my DEATH
Sept. IL, 1912, 1880 am. While writ
ing poem, some one tapped me on the
shoulder and said: Let not murderer
take the presidential chair. Avenge my
DEATH
81 could plainly see Mr.. McKinley's
features.
Before the Almighty God, swear
this above writing is nothing but ths
truth"
Another note reads:

greatest power of the world, despite her
surviving tradition more than 1000
years old, as Gen. Nogi SO nobly demon
strated it is the duty of the United
States of America to uphold the third

be regarded as a traitor to the American
cause. Let it be the right and duty OF
every citizen to forcibly remove third
termer. Never let third-term party
emblem a president of the ballot.

BREWER HOME FROM EUROPE.
LOOKED AFTER OLD BOND ISSUE
AND LAND DEAL.
Says Mississippi Can Get Better Credit
if Repudiated Bond Issue Is Wiped
Of-Welcomes English Capital

Jackson.-Hale and hearty after fom
weeks relief from state duties, Gov.
Earl Brewer of Mississippi returned to
Jackson Monday.
The governor slipped quietly away
from Jackson some weeks ago. No fam
fare of trmpets or bulletin boards an
nounced his departure. In fact, it was,
several days before even his friends
learned that his destination was dear
old Lunnon across the pond.
There were several reasons for the
governors visit to England.
In the first place, he says, there was
the matter of the $7,000,00O repudiated
bond issue of the Planters and Union
bank.
This transaction, which dates way
back to 1s41, has given black-eye to
Mississippi credit, said Gov. Brewer.
Since the legislature time after time
refused to pay interest on the bonds, it
has been difficult problem for Mis-
sissippi as a state, her counties or mu-
inequalities or corporations to borrow
money on interest less than fiat 6
per cent, according to the chief execu-
tive.
The governor says that he has
scheme under way by which this him
drance may be removed. He talked with
New York and London fnanciers about
it and is hopeful that it might go
through.
He would not discuss the exact nature
of the plan, saying that he had to give
it more consideration.
Then, too, the governor tried to inn
press English financial interests with the
value of Mississippi land.
He is said to have options on several
thousand acres of Delta lands.
The option prices, it is said, range
from $40 to SIS per acre, with an aver
age of $40.
The governor would not discuss these
deals in any particular other than to
say that if the in9estments were made
it would be good thing for the state.
The English syndicates, he said, had
plenty of money and were quick to in
vest it in permanent improvements.

Some of the men who escaped de-

Most of these explosions, they said,
were on the Dunholm.
The captain, his wife and their
three children and the other sixty
men aboard the Dunholm leaped over
board at the sound of the first explo-

The exploding gasoline was hurled
across pier No. 8, setting fire to the
Saxoleine, an oil steamship, having
on board a full cargo of oil, and to
the Norwegian bark, Concordia, with
a full cargo of case oil.

Insurance Commissioner Henry Has Ar
ranged a List.

IduR6u d A1Sls
Insurance Commissioner T. M. Henry,
bent on breaking up that class of so-
licitors who do business for illegal firms
and companies, has compiled a list of
all fire, life and miscellaneous agents of
the state together with the companies
they represent.
Mr.. Henry has printed these for free
distribution, with a view of furnishing
anyone with copy who is desirous of
investigating the legal status of any great
or company operating in the state. With
the aid of this pamphlet anyone can
easily ascertain whether an agent is
authorized to do business for the firm
which he claims to represent. He can
tell also, whether the stamp of approval
of the state has been put on firm which
is soliciting business.
With the view of obtaining the aid of
the officers in the various counties of
the state in the fight against the few un-
authorized companies that occasionally
slip into the state and for time do
profitable business, Mr.. Henry will mail
to these officers copies of the booklet
with the request that any agents doing
business in the county who are not duly
authorized to do so be presented.
