YOUNG farmer
DISAPPEARS
DlLlGENT SEARCH is BEING MADE
FOR MARTIN DARDEN, OF
RAWLS SPRINGS.

Much interest has been aroused by
Ohe sudden and mysterious disappear
apce Of Martin Darden, who came to
the city from his home near RawIs
Springs about five miles north Of Hat
tiasburg, Monday morning and after
spending several hours looking after
business matters, vanished as though
swallowed by the earth.
Mr.. Darden is about % years of age
and has a wife and child living on the
place they occupy as a farm, near to
where his wife, who was a Miss East
erling, was born and reared.
He drove a wagon and team to town
yesterday morning and purchased a
bill of groceries from Moore Bros.
Grocery Co., gave them an order for a
lot of fertilizer and went out to trans
act other business. Later he came
back for his groceries, which he
wished to load in his wagon. He was
induced to wait for the arrival of the
fertilizer ordered, before loading the
wagon. He drove away and hitched
his team, promising to come back
about three o'clock. Shortly after
three he was seen to leave a barber
shop on Mobile street, going south to-
wards the Hotel Hattiesburg, since
then he has not been seen or heard
from by anyone who knew him. The
sheriff and police officers were busy
until late hour last night trying to
locate the missing man and the search
was resumed this morning without any
clue whatever to indicate where he
had gone.
His team was taken to a stable for
the night and today was sent home by
his wife's father, who came in to aid
in the search.
No theory has been vouchsafed as
to where the man has gone or what
was the cause of his sudden disap-
pearance.

ASSISTANT Atty-General
Changes Recent Opinion

jackson, Miss, March 18.-A mayor
of any municipality, either city, town
or village, can take to instruments
for record, and are so authorized under
the laws of Mississippi. according to
Captain Frank Johnston, assistant at
torney general, who yesterday admit
ted an inadvertent error when he gave
a recent opinion that such actions
were contrary to law.
The assistant attorney general ex-
plains why he was led into the error,
and the law on the subject, in the fol-
lowing letter that he wrote yesterday
to the mayor of Edwards, in response
to an inquiry about the matter. The
letter in full is as follows:
"Hon. C. N. Harris, Mayor, Edwards,
Miss, Dear Sir-Since writing you re-
Gently, have re-examined the question
as to the authority of a mayor of a
municipality to take acknowledge
ments to instruments for record, and
find that l made an error in my ex-
animation of the statute on the sub
ject, and overlooked the concluding
clause of Section 279S. I fell into err
ror because the first clause of the
statute enumerates the Federal judges,
the judges of the supreme court, cir
cult judges, chancellors, clerks of

USED A BRICK
ON DETECTIVE
j. c. COPELAND ASSAULTED BY
"FATTY" SMlTH-LATTER IN
JAIL TO AWAIT TRIAL.

j. G. Copeland, who has been en-
gagged in turning up blind tigers, hav-
ing been employed by the city for
special detective service, came near
suffering the penalty of his life for his
pains, when about 7:90 o'clock Mon
day night he was assaulted by Fatty"
Smith near the corner of Mobile and
Pine street Copeland had been en-
gagged all the afternoon as a witness
in the Mayors court against the sew
eral parties who were charged with
liquor law violations.
When Copeland enterec Mobile
street, he states he saw some one sig
nal another, indicating that 1e was
approaching, He went forward un-
needing the signal as q menace. and

but owing to the effect Of his wound
on his nerves, his aim was bad and
the ball went wild
A crowd was quickly attracted by
the shot and a number of police Off
GERS and Deputy Sheriff Cahal were
soon on the scene.
Smith was located near the scene OF
the assault and arrested. An affi-
davit charging assault and battery
with intent to kill has been filed
against Smith and he will be held
in Jail until Friday when he will be
given a preliminary hearing before
Justice H. C. Greer
AS no other motive can be assigned
for the murderous assault on Cope

as an intimidation for the purpose OF

cludes by an enumeration of another

Chief Kohler Declared
Guilty and DISCHARGED

Cleveland, Ohio, March 1S.-The
civil service commission last night an
nounced that they had found Fred
Kohler, Golden Rule" chief of police,
guilty of gross immortality, conduct
unbecoming an officer and gentleman,
and conduct subversive to good order
and discipline in the police depart
ment," and Immediately discharged
him from office.
The charges were filed by Mayor
Baker and the trial of the chief oc-
cupied the whole of last week.
The charges involved alleged visits
of Kohler to the home of Mrs. May
Schearer on Feb. 2, May 29 and June 5,
1912, in the absence of her husband.
On the last named date Schearer tes-
titled in the trial that he surprised
Kohler and his wife in the Schearer
home.
Kohler attempted to prove alibis for
the first two dates and declared his
mission on the night of June 5, 1912,
was an innocent one" Schearer got
divorce from his wife in a suit in
which Kohler was named.
1--WE should add to the sentence y
permit to this officer to receive a
full pension to which a retired officer
The Hattiesburg news., 1913-03-18

is entitled in view of the term and
character of his service, but we are
without power to do So" said the COM
mission.
In statement issued Sunday night
Kohler indicated his willingness to re-
sign if allowed to receive his full pen
sion of $125 a month. If discharged
his pension would be $65 month.
Kohler is 40 years old and has been
a member of the police department
for twenty-four years and chief for
ten years.
His policy of golden ruling" first
offenders and minor offenders has
made him one of the best known police
chiefs of the country. The title of
best chief in America" was conferred
on him by Theodore Roosevelt on the
occasion of one of the former Presi-
dents visits to Cleveland.
The commissions decision praises
Kohler's work as police chief, and says
that while in other cities police Off
GERS have been guilty of corruption
and extortion, Frederick Kohler is a
poor man."
Three years ago Kohler was tried
and acquitted by the civil service
commission on charges of drunkenness
and personal misconduct in office.

Will MAKE RACE
IF People WISH
j. r. TALLY STATES HE is WILL
ING TO HEED A CALL If 1T
COMES FROM PoPULAcE.

A Jackson, Miss, news item in the
New Orleans Times-Democrat Tues
day stated that the opposition to Bill
bo has already begun to cast around
for some one to run for governor in
1915, and among others solicited to
run the race and had declined was
John R. Tally of this city.
When asked regarding this matter,
Mr.. Tally stated that the time has
come when the people should call for
the man whom they desire as their
leaders and those who arrogate to
themselves the inalienable right Of
leadership should be asked to take n
back seat. He further said that he has
always held himself amenable to the
call of the people, ready to give them
his very best service, whether in priv
ate or public life.
Mr.. Tally has many times been men
toned as gubernatorial material, and
should he receive a call that had in it
the sound of vox populi, his well known
campaigning qualities would make him
a real live factor in the political field.

WAGING WAR ON
BLIND TIGERS
MAYORS COURT BUSY MONDAY
TRYING ALLEGED VlOLATO9s
NUMBER OF CONVICTIONS

The mayors court in the past lwo
days has attracted much attention. ow-
ing to the docketing Of several
charges against liquor law violators.
Sna HOLMAN, a notorious negress,
who has been many time before the
court charged with selling liquor, was
arraigned Monday afternoon on such
charge and after a hearing by Mayor
Batson she was fined 800 and SEN
fenced to thirty days in jail J. e.
Davis represented the defendant and
gave notice of appeal to the circuit
court.
w. s. Griffin, arraigned on a charge
of vagrancy and on one for acting as
agent in the sale of liquor, was repre-
sented at the trial by Dan Currie. The
vagrancy charge was dismissed and a
fine of $50 and costs was assessed
against him on the other charge, from
which his attorney gave notice of an
appeal to circuit court.
Beard Thompson, white hack
driver, plead guilty to the charge of
acting as agent for the sale of liquor
and was fined $25 and costs, but an
effort will be made to get this fine
remitted by the board of commission
ers on the ground that it was the testi-
mony of Thompson, corraborating that
of Detective Copeland which resulted
in Sina Hollimans conviction. Cope
land testified in the Hoffman case
that he went to Sina's house in Thomp-
sons hack and that Thompson went
inside and in about five minutes came
out with a bottle of whiskey. When
put on the stand Thompson testified
that he bought the whiskey of Sina
Hoffman.
Jennie Hines was arraigned on a
chage of retailing. Her arrest had
been effected upon description, but
when arraigned it was made clear
that she did not meet the description
and was released.
These liquor cases were the out
growth of the work done by ]. c. Cope
land, who had been employed as a de-
tective by Chief of Police Bennett.
Eugene Slade was arraigned before
the Mayor this morning on a charge
of acting as agent in the sale of H.
quor, and was fined $25 and cost. He
was one of the witnesses in the other
liquor trials held before the Mayor
on Monday
E. M. Couson was up on a charge
of cruelty to his nine-year-old boy.
The Mayor made close inquiry into
the case and agreed if the accused
would send the boy to his mother and
grandfather near Virgins, that he
would dismiss the charge This was
agreed to and the Mayor led in rails
ing fund from those in court, to pay
the expenses of Rev. w. E. Fail, who
agreed to carry the boy to Virgins
this morning.
The ease with which the funds were
raised clearly indicated the sympathy
of those present for all concerned.
