MAKES SUCCESS
OF PECAN CROP
WlGGINs MAN TELLS HOW TO
PUSH PECAN TREES TO
EARLY PRODUCTION.

]. T. Patterson, of Virgins, while
in the city Monday in discussing the
matter of pecans, stated that his meth
cd for Fastening the Seeding pecan
in the bearing of nuts is to cut the
tap root off, two feet below the sur.
face of the ground where the tree is
planted. He stated that the time to
perform this act of tree surgery, is
three years from the time the tree
comes up from the seed Mr. Patter-
son claims that this method will in
sure pecan nuts in seven years from
seed planting and also asserts that it
tends to largely increase the yield.
Referring to the life of the pecan be-
ing practically unlimited, he told of a
tree now growing near Hermanville
in Claiborne county that grew from g
pecan planted by his mother in the
year 1857, that yields as much as foul
barrels of nuts year. This tree
says Mr.. Patterson, has no tap root
as it has been moved and replantet
twice and today measures four fee
across it's trunk.

7wo Dead as Result
of Blind Tiger Booze

Columbia, Miss, Oct. THE little
village of jamestown, six miles from
Columbia, was the scene of shooting
affray Sunday afternoon in which one
man lost his life and another was dan
gerously wounded. 1t was caused, so
far as can be learned, by the free use
of blind tiger whiskey. Robert Robert
son and "Son" McSwain, two young
men in the employ of the Austin Lum-
Der Company at jamestown, were in
Columbia Saturday, and left here to-
gether, considerably under the infiu-
ence of liquor. They continued their
drinking bout Sunday morning and
soon became quarrelsome. In the
fight that ensued, Robertson pulled his
pistol and shot McSwain through the
stomach. He then went to his room
and shut the door.
Deputy Sheriff s. A. Regan, who lives

at jamestown, and who is said to have
been close friend Of McSwain, went
at once to Robertson's room and called
on him to throw up his hands, which,
he says, Robertson refused to do, max
ing motion at the same time as if he
were going to draw weapon. Regan
fired two shots at Robertson at close
range, one entering the breast few
inches above the heart and the other
just above the mouth, and Robertson
fell over dead.
Some negro eye-witnesses to the at
tempted arrest and killing of Robert
son say that the officer was excited
when he went in to arrest Robertson
and that the latter made no attempt
to draw a weapon, but that his pisto
was lying on a bench in the room, anC
the young man made no attempt tt

Enterprise, Miss, Oct. Daring
robbery of the Bank of Enterprise was
prevented early yesterday morning by
the local telephone operator, who
alarmed citizens over the few wires

bandits had seized the watchman of

to the bank were confronted by con-

the point of a pistol. In the mean.
time, two robbers who were in the
building fed, and their accomplice, OF

Spectators Were Busy.


While the principal actors in the
great climax of the baseball year were
wooing sleep the ticket spectators
and the baseball public were far more
active. Despite the plans and protes-
tations of the New York National
League club officials, the New York
ticket speculator proved his right to
the title of king of his craft" AL
though there were but 5000 reserved
seats sold by the club to selected list
of patrons, certain percentage of the
coupons quickly found their way into
the hands of ticket venders who offer
ed them at prices many times over
their face value. There was the usual
cry of scandal" and Investigation, "
but old timers smiled and spoke of
similar previous experiences which re-
suited in much talk, but no action.
Because of the fact that but 5000 OF
the $4,000 seats were disposed of In
the advance sale the opportunities for
SPECTATORS to secure tickets were not
as great as in the past Consequently
those that were available commanded
almost fabulous prices. Seats for three
New York games were offered at prices
ranging from $50 to 500, according tc
location. Single seats for the opening
game we're quoted at $50 each ant
found ready purchasers even at tel

IT LOUIS, No, Dec S1.-Ban
Johnson is brewing a tempest
- for his little old umpire staff
IN promising to arrange some sort
Of penalty for the intentional pass, "
issued by pitchers to batters whom
they may have cause to fear in a
particular crisis.
Ban, in common with others Of US,
thinks it's a shame that with two or
three men on, the score tied, and q
heavy hitter up, the pitcher is per
mitted under the rules to delibera 1ely
eVade the responsibility Of retiring
this batter by the usual method. Gus
tom permits the finger to throw four
wide ones filling the bases, with q
presumably weaker batsman Cp.
One More on the "Ump."
This feature removes the zest from
an otherwise keenly, interesting situa-
ton.
It's difficult to see what Ban John
son can recommend that viii be prac-
teal in this connection. The way
would be to penalize the pitcher by
one Of several methods, such as giving
the man so passed two bases instead
of one, increasing the liability Of a
runner being forced home
This is fine enough in theory, but
in practice it puts a well-nigh impOs-
would. thus be compelled to decide on
what was an intentional and what
was an accidental walk.
A clever pitcher could issue the pass
and still fool his nobs in the matter.
Johnson would like to hear from clever
fans with an idea an the subject Of
how to get around the difficulty. We

ANAYA GIVES
 HIMSELF UP
He and His Brothcr-in-Law Finally Surrender to An sWer Charge of Conspir- acy in Sending Aeroplane Across Mexican Border

Assistant United States Attorney Rlchey yesterday evening received d l telegram from Nogales, saying. that N Anaya and Jose Escobosa had been placed under arrest there under
 indictments found by a federal grand
 Jury at Los Angeles, charging them
 with conspiracy in taking an aero
 plane over the border to be used for war like purposes.
 The men had for some time been at Nogales, Sonora, negotiating with the United States authorities regard ing their surrender. They wanted an agreement concerning the bail. They were informed that it would be $5O0O in each case. They then took some time to arrange for it and yesterday crossed the line and were taken into custody.
 Anaya was formerly Mexican con- sul at Tucson though he is an Ameri- can sitizen. EScobosa is his brother in-laW. The families of both men are in this country and all their property is here It became neces- sary therefore for them to come back. Moreover their position in Sonora was not an entirely safe one de- pendent entirely upon the success of the constitutiOnalists.
 After the capture near Tucson of the aeroplane which Mason and Dean were escOrting toward the bOrd- e. and while it was yet in the GUS tody of the United States marshal, Anaya requested the release of it, saying that he belonged to a com pany that had bought it and that it was not to be used in Sonora. He was told that he could have it by putting up a bond. Soon after that the custodian of it was bribed and the machine was taken oyer the border.
