statement to make after his elec-
tion
Gov. John Kinley Tener, native of
Tyrone, Ireland, turned to profession
al baseball in 1885 at the age of twen-
ty-seven, after physicians had ordered
him out of a clerkship into outdoor
employment. He played variously as
first baseman of the Pittsburg club,
with the Baltimore club and with the
Haverhill, Mass, club. He became a
Chicago White Stockings pitcher after
Captain Anson chanced to see him
pitch one day and accompanied An
sons men on the 1SSS-S9 tour of the
world.
Then he engaged in business in
Charlton, Pa, thereafter devoting his
attention to business and politics. His
re-entry into the national game came
when he helped William H. Locke t.
buy the Philadelphia National Leagui
club from Charles P. Taft, of Cincin
natl. In his playing days Gov. Tene
weighed 200 pounds and stood fee
3 inches.

Motion For Peremptory
Instruction OUerruled

mon sense and in view of the condi-
ton as they exist today. Attention
was called to the fact that when the
law was passed under which
the indictment of Mr.. Burkett was
found, there was not train or logging
road in Mississippi, hence no mention
was made of logging or train roads in
framing the law. THE McInnis log
road" said the court, "is standard
guage road, built, maintained and op
Grated as railroad, and While not a
common carrier it has engines, cars
engineers, firemen, track, crews, and
brakemen' The court believed that
any error, if there was any, had
best be passed on by the Supreme
Court, therefore, the motion for a per
erhptory instruction for defendant was
denied.
The introduction of testimony was
taken up and concluded this morning
and argument of the case began wher
court reconvened this afternoon.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-11-20

On account of the constantly in
creasing demand on their services and
the growth of business throughout the
Hattiesburg territory, the managers of
the Hattiesburg Hospital have found
it necessary to double the capacity of
that institution, and have let the con-
tract to the Burkes Construction Com
pany of Hattiesburg for an annex to
the hospital building, that in case of
emergency viii enable them to com.
fortably care for rs or more patients
at one time.
The Hattiesburg Hospital has been
doing splendid work. During the pres
ent year they will have cared for over
500 patients, and the demand on its
services continues to grow. 1t has
been evident for some time that an
increase in capacity was necessary
and the management determined that
when the addition was built it should
be with view of making the Hatties
burg Hospital the most modern insti
| stitution of it's kind in the state.
