lWo Monster Pumps
Recelued By the City
For Water Plant

The city commissioners have receiv-
ed and are now preparing to install
two monster pumps, together with
large feed pump for supplying the wa
terworks boilers with hot water. The
estimated capacity of the new outfit is
five million gallons of water per day,
which it is estimated would be ample
to supply a city three times the size
of Hattiesburg, but notwithstanding
this largely increased capacity the out
fit is said to be more economical in the
consumption of fuel, than the equip
ment now in use, which has become
inadequate since the Normal College
extension.

half, and the fugitive from Matteawan

notice was filed with the clerk of the
court. At the same time a telegram
was sent to Judge Arthur Globensky
at Montreal, who granted the writ, that

THE country bankers today won

reads as follows:

AMERICANS Are URGED TO LEAVE
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Aug. 27.-President
Wilson appeared in person before
Congress today and revealed to
the world details Of this nations
efforts to bring about peace in
Mexico, facts concerning Huerta's
rejection Of peace proposals and
the policy to be followed now by
the United States.
The President. announced the
position stated to be as follows:
No armed Intervention, strict neu-
trality forbiddine expectation of
arms or ammunitions of war of
any kind from the United States
to any part of the Republic Of
Mexico; under no circumstances
to be "the partisan Of either party
to the contest that now distracts
Mexico or constitute ourselves a
virtual umpire between them" to
urge all Americans to leave Mex
leo at once and assist them to get
away in every way possible; to let
everyone in Mexico who assumes
to exercise authority know this
government shall Vigilantly pro-
tect the lives and fortunes of those
Americans who cannot get away
and shall hold them responsible
for their sufferings and losses to
a definite reckonine; negotiations
for friendly mediation OF the Uni
ted States are open to resumption
at any time upon either the initia-
tive of this government or Mexico.
The President outlined what the
United States had done as a friend
and neighbor. He declared 1--WE
shall yet prove to the Mexican
people that we know how to serve
them without first thinking how
we can serve ourselves"
He outlined how "war and dis
order, devastation and confusion
seem to threaten to become the
settled fortune of that country"
as friends he said this country
could wait no longer for the solu-
ton of things in our sister repub-
lie; all America cries out for set
Element"
He read the note Lind bore to
Mexico, in which satisfactory set
tIement seemed to be conditioned"
It declared for an immediate cess
alton of fighting, a definite ar
mistice, a free election; that Huerta
bind himself not to be candidate
and an agreement that all parties
abide by the results of the eIec-
tlon.
The President said he was led
to believe the Huerta government
rejected the American proposals
because authorities Of Mexico
City had been grossly misinformed
and misled" upon the spirit Of the
American people in the matter and
upon a mistaken belief that the
present administration did not
speak for the people Of the United
States.

ment in rejecting the proposals for
following the alternative policy Of
the United States, they suggested
