Importance of the two decisions hand

"The item that both these decisions

The two decisions to which Mr.. Tro-

CAREFUL INVESTIGATION
MADE OF ASSASSINATION
Shows That The President And Vice.
President Suarez Given Narcotics in
Food, Then Shot in 6ed-Bodies Re-
moved to Road Near Penitentiary.
(By Associated PreS8.)

New Orleans, April 12.-President
Francisco Madero and Vice President
Pine Suarez, who were killed in Mex
leo City on the night of February %,
were assassinated in a room in the
national palace and bodies afterward
removed to a road near the peniten-
tiary wall, according to a sensational
statement made here by Martias
Oviedo, former private secretary to
Madero; who arrived in New Orleans
this morning from the camp of Cover
nor Carranza, military leader of the
constitutionalist revolutionary party.
Oviedo asserts that careful inves-
tigation shows that Madero and Pine
Suarez were given narcotics in their
food and later were shot in bed in a
room in the palace. He declared that
.Suarez struggled and a guard grabbed
his throat and strangled him. The
two rurales, who did the shooting on
orders of their superiors, were then
taken to the penitentiary and them
selves shot outside the wall to give
apparent proof to the assertion that
Madero and Suarez were shot at that
point, while an effort was being made
to rescue them.

ground in political circles, however,
that no fight will be made against
John Sharp Williams two years hence;
that while there may be a great deal
of talk during the intervening period
concerning opposition, it is not going
to materialize into a candidate who
seriously opposes the Yazoo states
man.and that Mr.. Williams can stick
to his job as long as he cares to hold
it.
Much significance is attached to ed
itorial utterances during the past few
days in newspapers that have always
strongly supported James X. Varda-
man in which the opinion is expressed
that no fight should be made on Will
liams, and that the best way to restore
political harmony in Mississippi is to
allow both of the present Senators
to be elected without opposition two
years hence.

Jackson, Miss, April 12.-Congress-
man T. U. Sisson, of the fourth Missis-
sippi district, emphatically denies that
he has given anybody authority to say
that he will be a candidate for the
United States Senate in 1915 against
John Sharp Williams. He states, fur
thermore, that he will be a candidate
to succeed himself at the Congression-
al election in 1914, which may be in
terpreted to mean that he does not in
tend to enter into a two-year canvass
of the state for Senatorial honors.
Mr.. Sisson does not say that he
would not under any circumstances
oppose Senator Williams in 1915. He
merely goes on record as saying that
he is not now a candidate.

CONSIDER new
Light CONTRACT
TRACTION COMPANY HAS MADE
CITY PROPOSITION LOOKING
TO BETTER SERVICE.

The City Commissioners have just
received from Hattiesburg Traction
company a proposition with reference
to lighting contract which they are
considering. If accepted the present
contract will be extended three years
beyond the present contract which yet
has four years to run.
Under the existing contract the
Traction company has 70 arc and 20
Tungsten lamps in service on the
streets rated as the equivalent of 7S 2-3
arcs. For these the city pays at the
rate of 500 year.
The new proposal provides for the
removal of As arc lamps and the erec-
ton of 1876 Tungstons In their stead.
This would give lit Tungstons and
leave 81 arcs or 208 lamps as against
SO now in use.
In addition the company offers to
give an all night service on every
night instead of the moonlight sched-
ule as they are doing under the exist
ing contract 1t is stated that the ad-
ditional service thus proposed will
cost the city just about what it is now
paying. The offer is conditional upon
three year extension and the ma
iority of the council express them
selves as favoring it's acceptonce, be-
lieving as they say that what Hatties-
burg especially needs in this line IS
more light and light every night.
Capt. Farley does not at present
favor an extension Of the contract but
does favor the substitution of the pro
posed new lighting system for the old
one.

Jackson, April 12.-Although he is
now serving a ten day term in the
Copiah county jail for contempt of
court, Walter w. Robertson, editor
of the Wesson Enterprise, is by no
means cowed, and, judging from the
editorial tenor of his paper, his opin-
ion of Chancellor P. 2. Jones, who re-
fused him license to practice law, has
not altered in the least; on the con-
trary, Robertson's opinion of the wear
er of judicial ermine would require
language even more strenuous than

emerged with the heavy casket. Across
it was draped a great American flag

the largest ship which the French had
ever sent over to America.

with barred heads in the passageway,
while the ships orchestra played THE

Among the floral offerings was a
wreath wrought in solid silver from

great bunch of orchids which had with
cred on the trip across the Atlantic
remained in the chapel. This was the
offering of the German Emperor. Many

Rome, April 12.-Despite injunc-
tions and remonstrances of his attend
ants, the Pope Friday afternoon re-
ceived in audience three bishops who
had headed a pilgrimage to Rome to
visit him, and bestowed upon them the
papal blessing.
Last night his Holiness, wearied by
his efforts, fell into a deep sleep imme
diately after his physicians had made
their customary call.
The meeting between the Pontiff and
three aged bishops was pathetic. AS
they entered the sickroom they threw
themselves at the feet of the Pope,
who was sitting in an arm chair. The
Pope smiled and lifting his hands
above their heads, bestowed his bless
ing. This, he said, was intended not
alone for the prelates, but for the
pilgrims who had journeyed to Rome
to pay him tribute. The bishops, who
had been warned to make the audience
room, their eyes brimming with tears.
Neither Prof. Marchiafava nor DR..
Amici was present during the recep-
tion.
Prof. Marchiafava apparently is not
quite satisfied with the progress of the
recovery of strength. He is infexible
in his decision not to allow his patient
to undergo any exertion.
The Pope expressed a desire to
read the newspaper, saying that, after
what was invented when he was i'll
the first time, he is curious to see
what they have been capable of doing
after his relapse. Prof. Marchiafava,
however, refused to permit him to
read, whereupon the Pontiff exclaim-
ed:

and buried me-"
