pine BELT ROUTE
is asking FOR
RIGHT-OF-WAY
PROMOTERS DECLARE CAPITAL
lists HAVE AGREED TO TAKE
OVER BONDS OF COMPANY.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 2S.-The Mis-
sissippi Northwestern, or, as 1t is
called, the pine Belt Route" is ask
ing for right-of-way across the state
from Pascagoula and Biloxi to the
western side of Washington county,
where it will cross the Mississippi
river on it's way to Omaha, the west
ern terminal.
It is stated that the right-of-way as
far north as Hattiesburg has already
been secured, and 100 miles are ready
for the graders. From Hattiesburg
the idea is to run north through Gov
ington, Smith, Rankin and Madison to
Yazoo City, where 1t will cross the
Yazoo river and proceed diagonally up
the delta to Washington.
The promoters of the enterprise de-
clare that foreign capitalists have al
ready entered into contract to take
over the bonds as soon as the right-of
way has been secured. Communities
like Yazoo City will be expected to sub
scribe to the bonds of the company
but these bonds are not to be deliv
cred until the road is in full opera
ton.

REPUB. SENATOR'S
Will CAUCUS
TO-DAY
TO DISCUSS PLAN TO GET ACTION
OF TAFT's APPOINTMENTS,
PENDING IN SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The Republi-
can fight for confirmation of President
Taft's 300 appointments now pending
in the Senate will come to head to-
day, when a Republican caucus will
be asked by Republican leaders to bind
its members to continuous session be-
hind closed doors in an effort to break
Democratic opposition. The caucus has
been called ostensibly to take up the
proposal made by the Democrats for a
joint committee to weed out the Taft
appointments and select certain ones
that shall be confirmed. 1t is under
stood that prominent Republicans will
submit to the caucus a proposed plan
by which the members would bind
themselves to attempt to hold the Sen
ate continuously in session until the
Democrats could be forced to give way
and permit a general consideration of
all appointments.
1t is believed that many of the Re
publicans would not agree to the sug-
gested plan. Since the Democratic
fight began a number Of executive ses-
sions have been held but the Demo
Gratis have kept up general filibuster
and have prevented action except on
three or four nominations. The atti-
tude of individual Republicans indi-
Gates that the caucus will decline to
treat with the Democrats through a
Joint committee. In case the plan for
continuous fllibuster also fails, the
situation over the appointments will
remain practically unchanged.
Democratic leaders apparently have
determined to hold in allegiance all &C
ton on appointments until toward the
close of February, when they believe
the Republicans can be forced to agree
to the confirmation of the army navy,
consular, marine corps and public
health service appointments, leaving
the balance to fail by expiration OF
the session March 4.

New York, Jan. 2S.-General Daniel
+. Sickles of Civil War fame, tecbni
cally was placed under arrest at his
Fifth avenue home Monday afternoon
and Immediately technically released
under $4,000 bail furnished by sure
ty company. He is charged by the
state with responsibility for a short.
age of S23,476 in the funds of the
New York monument commission.
Although technically in custody for
moment, General Sickles did NOT
have to leave his home. Sheriff Har.
burger, who served the order of ar.
rest, purposedly delayed his visit IN.
til the bond had been perfected. At
the same time the sheriff started a
movement to make up the shortage bv
popular subscription.
General Sickles showed the sheriff
a telegram he had received from the
widow of General Longstreet, the IA.
nous Confederate leader. The tele.
gram was sent from Gainesville, Ga. It
said:
"My soul is sorrowed by your trou.
bles. am wiring the attorney general
of New York that I will raise money
among the ragged, destitute and main.
ed veterans who followed Lee, to nav
the amount demanded, If the New
York officials will allow sufficient
time. The republic whose battles you
fought will not permit your degrade.
ton. HELEN D. LONGsTREET."
Mrs. Longstreet Explains.
Gainesville, Ca, Jan. ST. will
raise the money to relieve General
Sickles of his embarrassment If New
York pushes the prosecution and none
of his Northern friends go to his aid.
The ragged, manned veterans of the
South will rush, to respond to the need
Of one of the most gallant soldiers
America ever knew"
This statement was made by Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet, widow Of the Con.
federate general, after the publication
Of her kilograms to General Daniel E.
sickles, New York, and the state at
torney general at Albany, offering aid
in the soldiers financial difficulties.
My husband always spoke Of Gen.
eral Sickles as the hero of Gettyburg,"
the statement continues. "They were
opposed to each other In the deciding
battle of the war, and General Long.
street in the last autograph letter he
ever wrote, Sept. 10, 1902, to General
Sickles, told him that the taking Of
the peach orchard by Sickles' corps
won the battle for the Union forces.
1T was General Longstreet's detach-
ment that shot off the leg of the brave
Union general, but as General Long
street said: 'Sickles can we'll afford
to leave leg on Gettysburg, for he
has made sure his place forever in
the hearts of Americans
Il have made no plans as yet, but II
General Sickles needs my aid, and the
aid Of the South, he will get it."

HANDSOME GAIN IN ASSETS
Financial Report of MasOns' Annuity
For Past Two Years Shows
Gratifying Growth.

ATLANTA.-The committee on f.
nancial reports of the Masons' Annu-
ity has just made its returns to the
board of directors of the Supreme
Lodge, embodying facts that will be
of interest to Masons all over the
country
The Supreme Lodge meets only
once in two years, and hence the
report covers that period of time. It
is shown that the Masons' Annuity
assets at the end of the present fiscal
year are s647,31O.81. The assets
two years ago were 20,6O122
This shows a gain in assets of $780,
7O9.59 in two years, by far the most
remarkable of any organization of
this kind in history.
The Supreme Lodge expressed ex-
IRENE qualification at the showing
The report also showed a gain in new
memberships of more than so per
cent.
Included in the organization as
sets are registered bonds amounting
to $594,01S.85. Registered bonds
are considered the best form of in
vestment, and were chosen for that
reason.
