DIPPING WILL Be
OPTIONAL FOR YEAR
CATTLE WILL NOT HAVE TO BE
DRIVEN MORE THAN MILE
AND A HALF TO VAT.

President ]. P. Pace, of the Board Of
Suervisors, told The News today
the plan by which the board will build
and operate the dipping vats provided
for under the new law.
Each supervisor will, during the
present month, select sites in his own
beat for the vats. In selecting these
sites it will be his object to have them
so situated that no man will have to
drive his cattle more than a mile and
half to have them dipped.
The supervisors will report at the
August meeting of the board and
their list of selections will be approx
ed. The board will then advertise TO,
bids. 1t is the present plan of the
board to award the contracts by beats
rather than with the county as unit,
and in this way it may be that more
than one contractor can have a part in
the construction of the watts. The COLI
tracts will be awarded at the Sep
tember meeting and the building of the
watts will begin at once.
1t is the plan of the board to have
the owners of the sites selected grant
the county lease on the land required
for term of years. In this way the
: county may obtain absolute control of
the vats without having to buy any
land and without any of the property
owners having to surrender title tc
the land.
1t is the decision of the board that
!, compulsory dipping will not be en-
forced for about one year. The
i board believes that it would be unwist
to force people to dip their cattle n
soon as the watts are completed, be
s cause of the prejudice against dippin
which is still strong in some section
of the county. They believe bette
plan will be to urge all cattle owner
to use the watts and that within yea
all the prejudice against dipping wi
!, have been overcome and it will be n
:, trouble to enforce the law.
a President Pace says the board est
- mates that about fifty watts will hay
- to be built, but that it Is probable
greater number than that will be ne
y essary. With each member of Il
board giving his personal attention
the selection of sites in each beat,
is believed the vats can be locate
ny so that there will be little inconveI
GU ence attached to the driving of catt
VI to be dipped. One of the chief re
al sons urged by opponents to the mea
es ure was that some of the cattle wou
w have to be driven five miles or MOI
10 and when it Is shown that this is n
as the case, a big step will have be-
or taken to overcome the prejudi
against dipping.
in Arranging for the dipping vats al
OIL awarding contracts for new roads al
re- bridges has kept the board unusual
to busy at its last few meetings. II

All the theatres Of Paris gave free

tional memorials in the capital were
decorated with flowers.

PROFITS FROM BLIND tiger
AM0UNT TO S4 ON One GALLON
Aliases Used As subterfuge to Evade
the Law-one Man Frequently Re-
ceives More Whiskey Than Ten Men
Could Drink-Records Are Public
Documents.

That the new law reducing the
amount of liquor to be received by an
individual to one gallon day has had
little or no effect on the blind tiger
business in Forrest county is the opin-
ion of T. J.. Nixon, circuit court clerk,
and the records in his Office are silent
witnesses to his conclusions.
Last Saturday, for instance, sixty
eight separate shipments were rece1v-
ed and delivered in Hattiesburg, and
the list of receivers, which is open to
public inspection in the clerks office,
includes many familiar names. In fact,
a comparison of the list of receivers or
liquor for any three or four consecu-
tive days shows that the well known
bootleggers are receiving most of the
whiskey, and from the amount they
are buying it is evident they couldn't
possibly drink it all.
Not only that, but Mr.. Nixon says
that one person sometimes receives
two or three gallons nseparate pack
ages the same day, addressed to slight
ly different names. A blind tiger Will
receive one gallon under the name OF
John Doe, for instance, and another
under the name of ]. Doe. Or he may
use two names more easily distinguish
able.
When the law first went into effect
a number of the we'll established and
well known tigers flagrantly violated
it, says Mr.. Nixon, by receiving two
or three gallons day in one shipment
Something evidently has frightened
them away from this course, however
as none of the shipments for the past
several days have exceeded gallon
of whiskey and cask Of beer.
While a few of the more daring
bootleggers have employed aliases II
order to receive extra shipments
MANY of them are content with thu
profit to be received from gallon
day, and at the prevailing HattiesDurt
prices the profit is not to be scoffe'
at. Cheap whiskey can be bought 10
SO a gallon or less, but the bootlegger
1t is said, demands So quart and neve
takes less than $1.5O. Assuming tina
his average price per quart is $1'7S
the Hattiesburg bootlegger clear
about "a a day for distributing his ga
lon Of whiskey.
This is not written, however, t
encourge anybody to enter the boo
logging profession. The profit is goot
but Mr.. Mixon's record indicates tina
the field Is already crowded. TheI
too, somebody may investigate the re-
ords in Mr.. Mixon's office some da
and see what becomes of all this Will
key. II they do, some arrests will 10

SOUTHERN SONGS
ALLAY DISORDER
FREE SPEECH MAKING MEETING
CAUSES DISTURBANCE WHICH
MUSIC QUFIIS.

Tarrytown, June l4~-~A free speech
meeting TO discuss free speech only,
produced so much dissension this af-
ternoon in the picturesque outdoor
Greek theatre at Sun Cliff, the beau
tiful estate of Mrs. Charles Judson
Gould, overlooking the Hudson, that
the hostess had to call upon ner
friend, Mrs. Macdonald Sheridan. an
artist and concert singer. to sooth
the troubled breasts nf-the- free
speechers themselves, with Southern
darky slave songs. and bring the
meeting to apeaceful close.
Adolph Wolf. the Belgian anarchist
sculptor and poet. insisted on
haranguing the curious gathering who
sat and stood about the theatre for
two hours The audience jeered and
boohooed him, and some left the place
in disgust.
That was the climax, near the end
Of the meeting, but it was not the
beginning OF the trouble. Wolff. who
had made himself conspicuous by
talking so loud during Sinclair's hour
and q quarter speech that the latter
had to rebuke him, objected to peo-
pie Crawling on ther bellies as
towards and hypocrites' to get free
speech.
Previous to this disturbance. George
n. MANN, COUNSEL AoT tue Live dit'
Let Live" got the crowd with him by
a trembling FIVE minutes talk against
Sinclair and on behalf of unpaid
overtime claims of some Brooklyn
hayward workers.
Mr.. Mann. in the course of his re-
marks, said that Sinclair claimed to
be an am bassador
81 believe Wall Street Is the best
friend Of labor today" he said. II
pity Mr.. Rockefeller, shut up in his
house. What careworn man he Is.
l admire the millionaires."
At this point Mann asked for Ave
minutes more to talk about his peo-
pies unpaid claims Sinclair objected
that he was not talking about free
speech. One OF the crowd urged Mann
ITO go to it." and he did. He devoted
most OF his time to a review of the
whole agitation.
