PUPILS RECITAL
is GREAT SUCCESS

Th9 pupils recital given Tuesday
evening at the Christian church by
Mrs. Ella c. Matthew'S class was one
of the interesting musical events of the
season. Mrs. Matthews was assisted
by some of the best musical talent of
the city, including Mrs. Earnest Mil
Ter, Miss Lena Barton, Miss Anna Bar
low, Miss Angelina Woffiord, Mr.. Bing-
ham Cook and Mr.. James G. Leath.
A most interesting part of the pro-
gram was that devoted to the pupils.
Their work was in many ways marvel
Gus and manifested the great care given
them in their studies. They all dis
played such talent and performed so
spiendidly that it is difficult to suggest
who was entitled to the honors of the
evening.

HIGH HAUL MADE
BY TRAIN ROBBERS

Hattiesburg, Miss, May l6-A rich
haul, variously estimated at from 1885,
600 to 100000, was made by two
masked bandits who yesterday held
up Queen and Crescent New York
limited train No. 2, near Oklahoma, a
flag station eight miles south of Hat
tiesburg, and blew open the safe of the
Southern Express car.
Express officials last night denied
that the sum obtained aggregated any,
thing like the latter figure, but de-
clined TO make any estimate of the
loss.
The bandits who are believed to be
the pair who held ur the Mobile and
Ohio train at Corinth, Miss, in Feb
ruary, made their escape and last
night were still at large.

Cy Ii. Lyle Jr., came home from
Annapolis Saturday. AT the request
of Sen. Sanders the .Secretary of the
Navy allowed him to have a second
physical examination after he has a
couple of molars inserted. He was a
quarter of an inch short but the Sur
geon- General waived that fraction be-
cause he will be expected to do the
fighting when all the tall officers are
gone The Navy requires four oppos-
ing molars on each side particularly
the inside so that the middies can eat
the required amount of brain food, a

Rock Island Arsenal Illinois, They
are fiVe-tnch guns, weighing approXi-

no artillery pieces at the barracks save
the one ancient gun which is fired

C0incident with the arrival Of the
new guns was the commencement Of
the work of demOEishing the front Of
the post in order to make room for the
new levee. Small trees and shrub

Latin.Americans Are Jubilant.

New OrleanS-Latin-Am IN
New Orleans are jubilaDt oyer the
election of Woodrow Wilson. At a
meeting of the Central American
colony Friday a telegram OF cOngratu-
IatiOns was sent to Mr. Wilson III
which the belief was expressed that
the Wilson administration would
mean the death Of dollar diplomacy
which has brought untold suffering
and loss Of life and property to our
people, and the re-establishment OF
pleasant social and commercial rela-
tons between the United States and
the republics to the south.
The telegram expressed the view
that the strong anti-AmeriCan feeling,
engendered by the Knox policy in
Latin-America, would be dispelled by
the general belief of the people OF
the southern republics that Mr.. VIII
son would accord them square deal.
The telegram was signed by Don
PoIicarpo BOnilla, former president OF
Honduras; Angel Ugarte; General
Francisco Altschul, former governor
of Granada, Nicaragua, and Colonel
Carlos Martinez, a prominent Nicara'
guam exile.
Jose Santos Zclaya, former presi,
dent of Nicaragua, cabled from Spain
to General Altschul to extend his con
gratuatiOns to Mr.. Wilson.

Cause of Fire Known.

Lake Charles-The report that the
mill of the Anaco County Lumber
Company at Grabow, formerly the Gal
loway Lumber Company's plant, the
scene of the recent labor riot, had
been destroyed through incendiary
origin is absolutely incorrect.
A statement was made by B. R.
Moses, the general manager Of the
company, who was at Grabow at the
time of the blaze, that the fire origi.
mated in the boiler room.
The mill was destroyed at loss OF
about $4,000, but the pianer and over
100000 feet of lumber was saved.
The loss being partially covered by in-
surance.
