Dave Alt1zer, veteran 1nIlcluers nCrC
with Minneapolis Club Today and
Sunday.
The Minneapolis club is made up OF
the grandest array of baseball vet
Grams ever assembled. Practically all
of them have had years OF expert
ence in the major leagues and some
have been on world championship
clubs. Others have been members OF
pennant winning clubs. Or course,
they have lost their agility, or part
of it, but depend on their experience
and the use of common sense to win
their contest and they have been WIN
ming their share in recent years.
Among these veterans are Pick
Hunter once at first base for the
Sioux City club and later with Kan
sas City and the Pittsburg Nationals.
Otis Clymer. at one time one of the
most prominent players in the coun-
try. He has played on several major
league clubs. Another Is Jim Will
hams. He Is a veteran of the majors
and was a teammate of Dale Gear's
on the Kansas City club in 1898. when
that team won the pennant. Gear and
Williams held a tanning bee at the
ThrOop hotel this morning.
Lee Tannehill, the veteran third
baseman of the White Sox club, which
defeated the Cubs for the world 8
championship. Claude ROssman, now
playing outfield. was a member of the
Detroit club the three years the Ii
gers won the American League PEN
nant. Dave Altizer and Pitcher Pat
terson are other old members of the
White Sox club. Fiene. Lake, Burns
are others who have been with the
various clubs. Catcher Rondeau also
was a member of the Detroit club.
Joe Cantillon said this morning that
1T has been a contest between Min
neapolis against the other seven clubs
of the circuit for three years. Every
other club on the circuit had spe-
cial desire to defeat the veterans and
have usually done it, but have only
beaten them by a scratch.
Cantillon is probably the Creates
manager in minor league baseball
He is a personal friend of Dale Geal
and was playing regularly when Dali
Gear was with the Kansas City club.
Cantillon has seen the Omaha and
st. Joe clubs in action and says tina
both hook mighty good. Wallace a

QUARANTINE IS
DECLARED OFF
BUBONlC PLAGUE WELL IN HAND
IN NEW ORLEANS-NORMA
BUSINESS RESUMED.
(By Associated Press.)

New Orleans, July Normal busi-
ness conditions prevailed here today
in the 40 squares which had been un-
der quarantine because of the fear of
the spread Of bubonic plague. The
quarantine was declared off last night,
after the receipt of telegraphic advices
from DR.. Blue, surgeon general of the
United States declaring steps of the
character planned were not warranted
at this time.
Although the restrictions as to the
movements Of human beings in the
neighborhood where the two cases
were discovered Saturday were re-
moved, rats were still under ban and
a campaign of determination will be
waged against them.
No new cases have developed and
health authorities declared the situa-
tion well in hand.

County Board to
Erect TLU0 New
School Buildings
is IN SESSION TODAY CONSIDER.
ING PETITION FROM MeLAu.
Rim AND HELENA.

The building Of two handsome school
houses, costing $4,000 or $4,000
probably win be authorized by the
county school board which is in ses.
sion today.
The petition of the people of the
McLaurin district has been in the
hands of the school board for some
time. They want to build modern
brick school house costing $4,000 to
replace the present building which is
out of keeping with the size and i'm.
portance Of the community.
The Helena district petition prob
ably will be presented today calling for
a $4,000 or $4,000 building. One month
ago petition was circulated in the dis.
trict asking for a schoolhouse costing
only $4,000. The men who circulated
the petition found that it was so easy
to secure the signatures that they
thought they had undershot the mark
When the petition was presented to
the schoolboard they said that they
could get enough signatures to a Pc
tition for $4,000 and suggested that
they be allowed to destroy the first pc
tition and circulate another. The board
readily agreed to this because they
were of the opinion that $1,000 would
not build the kind of school house
that was required.
The people of Petal want to build
a school house costing about $25,O00
but it is hardly probable that they will
be ready to build this year. The peo-
pie of the Eatonville district are con-
templating building a handsome brick
school house but probably will not be
ready to present the petition at the
present meeting of the board.
The money for the school houses
will be raised by a special tax levy in
the school district benefited, which
will be authorized by the school board
The meeting this morning was pre-
sided over by Rev. E. ]. Currie, county
superintendent of education. Attend
ing the meeting were: ]. E. Arledge of
the city, j. M. McInnis, s. E. Graham,
j. P. Garraway T. ]. Pittman the
other member of the board, was out of
the city. The board will be in session
today and tomorrow.

ia. CANAL ENTERS
SHERIFF'S RACE
CHIEF DEPUTY UNDER j. D. BEN.
NETT OFFERS NET PROCEEDS
OF OFFICE, TO WIDOW.

T. A. Cahal, chief deputy under the
late Sheriff Bennett, announces in The
News today his candidacy for the un-
expired term at the election to be held
July 2S.
Mr. Cahal is we'll known to a large
number of friends in all sections Of
the county and upon his official record
and what he proposes to do for the
family of his late chief, he predicates
his candidacy.
He came to Hattiesburg Nov. Is,
1892 and has resided here continually
ever since. He was at first engaged
in the log and saw-mill business and
later became associated with the late
j. d. Bennett in the real estate bust
ness.
Mr. Cahal's first public office was
that of policeman, which he held sew
eral years ago. The friends and repu-
tation he made in that office gave him
promotion to the one he now holds.
Since Sheriff Bennett became des-
perately i'll more than year ago, Mr.
Cahal has had general charge of the
sheriff's office, and 1t is understood to
have been the wish of the dead sheriff
that Mr.. Cahal be appointed to fill out
his unexpired term.
In announcing his candidacy Mr..
Cahal promises the people that, II
elected, he will pay the widow Of
Sheriff bennett the net proceeds Of the
office, retaining for himself only the
salary he how draws as chief deputy.
With the support Of the Bennett infiu-
ence and his own following Of friends,
Mr.. Cahal is certain to be strong
candidate and, If elected, promises to
give the people his best possible SER
vices.

|. c. ANNOUNCEMENT
BRINGS Optimism
TO HUB LUMbERMEN
5000 NEW CARS FOR ONE RAIL.
ROAD Is TAKEN TO MEAN THAT
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE.
RAILROADS ENDED THEIR
FISCAL YEARS YESTERDAY
Orders From Big Corporations Are Ex-
pected This Month - Last Week
Much Better Than Week Before, But
All orders Were For Quick Shipment.

The announcement Of the Illinois
Central Railroad that they will build
5000 new cars is the only tangible
thing which has occurred during the
past week on which the lumbermen of
Hattiesburg can hang any hopes that
there will be a change in the market
conditions for the better, but there
have been a number of other things
which are sufficient to make them con-
fident that there will be better de.
mand for lumber beginning before an
other week.
In the first place the fiscal year end
ed yesterday and the new year was be
gun. The railroads, like many indi-
viduals try to make a good report at
the end of the year and for that reason
do not buy much during the months
of May and June. Experience has
shown, lumbermen here say, that be-
ginning with July 1 there is a demand
for lumber which constantly grows
until the fall orders come in.
The past week has not been nearly
as dull as the week before. There have
been reported by the various lumber,
men growing number of inquiries
There have also been a number of Or
ders for car load lots of dimension
lumber. All of the orders have speci-
fed however that tie lumber is for
quick shipments. No long time orders
have been reported.
The buyers have been the retail
lumber yards of the cities. They are
buying for immediate consumption and
not for storage.
/ The lumbermen here believe that
the bumper wheat crops will be con-
tributing cause to the improving lum-
ber market and that they will shortly
be placing orders in the North and
West for large quantities OF lumber.
The orders coming at this time of
the year, when there is natural de-
preston on account of the summer in
activity of the building trades, is con-
sidered a good sign and nearly all the
local lumbermen are optimistic. They
believe, furthermore, that the improve
ment will begin not later than next
week. They are waiting confidently
for important developments.

MISSISSIPPI HEALTH
OFFICERS AID FIGHT
Doctors Rowan And StringIey Leave
For Coast.

Jackson, Miss, July Promptly re-
spending to request from Surgeon
General Rupert Blue, of the United
States public health service for CO.
operation and aid in fight against the
spread of the bubonic plague, which
which has made its appearance in New
Orleans, two officials of the Missis-
sippi public health service have left
for Gulfport, Biloxi and other Missis-
sippi coast towns, to do everything
within their power in the campaign to
be waged.
DR.. w. H. Rowan, chief sanitary in
spector, and Dr.. C. R. Stringily, state
bacteriologist, have gone to the coast
to enforce certain rules, catch rats for
examination, and take charge generally
of any situation that may arise.
The health officers who left for the
coast will make examinations in all
the coast towns to discover absolutely
Wnetner any ln1ectlon exlStS among
rodents in those places.
Secretary Galloway, of the health
board, is keeping in close touch with
the situation in New Orleans through
daily kilograms, and everything possi-
BILE is being done to prevent the intro
duction of the disease in this state
Reports from Gulfport, signed by DR..
H. F. Capps, city health officer, states
that steps are being taken there to
eliminate rodens from the city.
DR.. Rowan very probably will insist
that from now on all ropes used to
tie up vessels to the wharves be pro-
vided with trap arrangement to pre-
vent rodents from going to the shore
by means of the ropes.

MAKES final ANSWER TO
JNSISTENT SUffRAGETTES
Tells Them He Is Interested In Cues
tion, But That His Passion Is For
Local Self Government and he Will
Not Support National Legislation to
This End.

Washington, July president Will
son told deputation of more than 500
women suffragists at the White House
late yesterday afternoon that woman
suffrage was a state issue and not a
national one, and for that reason he
would not use his influence for the
passage of a constitutional amend
ment in Congress.
In the historic East Room of the
executive mansion the president re-
ceived the suffragists, who represented
the organized club women of nearly
every state.
When the president declined to sup
port the Mondell-Bristow amendment,
which comes up for vote in the
House rules committee today, some of
the leaders began to put him through
a sharp cross-examination, which the
president took good naturedly.
Mrs. Rheta Child Dorr and Mrs. Har-
vey w. Wiley questioned him on his
attitude with respect to other national
issues, and after answering several of
their queries the president declared
81 cannot permit myself to be cross
examined"
That put stop to the questioning
and the delegation slowly filed out of
the White House, expressing regret.
The president told the women that
his passion is for local self-govern-
ment" and that he believed every state
should decide certain things for itself
He classed suffrage among these
things. He told the women that the
suffrage issue had not been mentioned
in the Baltimore platform and there
fore he would be reluctant to take 1t
up, even though his own ideas were
different.
Encourages State Fights.
"The president of the United States
has a dual personality" said Mr.. Will
son.
First, he is the chief executive of
the nation, and next he is the leader
of a party. In both those capacities I
must refuse to push woman suffrage
as a national ISSUE"
The president advised the club wom-
en- not to be discouraged, but to con-
tinue their fight in the various states.
He added that he was deeply interest
ed in the question.
Some of the women brought small
children with them to the White
House, and throughout the speaking
there were frequent walls and cries
from the babies.

The month began with one of the
severest droughts ever known in the
eastern portions of the cotton belt,
1t greatly retarded growth of early

prevented any improvement in the
