TWO MEN HURT IN
WRECK ON c. Is. |.
Gulfport, December

Gul1port, december x.
The wreck on the Gulf & Ship Is
land Railroad proved to be more dis
astrous than first learned yesterday
afternoon. A freight train of four
teen cars were derailed. The engine
left the track at the switch just north
of Ten Mile and turned on its side.
Engineer Duvall and his fireman had
a narrow escape, jumping to safety.
suffering no injuries.
Ten empty cars, two empty box
cars loaded with ice and another with
machinery also left the track. Flag
man Griffin, white, and negro brake
man being hurt in the melee and SUBJ
sequently taken to The hospital at
Hattiesburg. A telegram received in
Gulfport this morning from Hatties-
burg says that Griffin's injuries are
not SO serious, consisting Of only
bluises about ashe head, and that the
brakeman suffered only a bruised foot.
The damage to the equipment was
comparatively great. The engine will
need many repairs, the cost of which
has not yet been estimated. The box
cars were almost totally destroyed.
The ten flats were in no way dam
aged. The railroad has sent wreck
ers to the scene to clear the track,
the wreck tieing up the traffic.
The cause of the wreck has no.
yet been ascertained, but the accident
is being investigated F. seems prob
able to those discussing the matter
outside the railroad office that spread
ing rails caused the accident, but the
railroad gives out only that the train
was derailed, the cause of that phe-
nomenon being unknown.
It is reported here that an un-
known man, probably tramp, was
killed in the wreck, but no confrma-
ton of this rumor can be had.

DARN 1T ALL.

The Regional Reserve banks opened
recently and floating around the coun-
try somewhere are about four hundred
millions of dollars in emergency curr-
rency-that is if we have the dope
right. That would make about four
dollars for every man, woman and child
in the country. All this is in addition
to the money that was alleged to be in
circulation before the regional banks
opened. Now we have been looking
forward to the release of all this money,
expecting that we would, Of course, get
our four dollars. But where is it? We

was rendered in the case brought by
the Columbus (Neb.) Telegram against

been sent to the mans home and he
had accepted the paper. When called
upon to pay for it he refused and suit
was brought. When Judge Thomas

$500 IS ENOUGH
FOR 'CUSS|N' OUT"
jackson, December 2.

oeSShSSi, I~SSiiOSI
The Mississippi supreme court
thinks that $500 is sufficient compen-
sation for the wounded feelings of a
railway passenger who gets severe
"cussin' CUT from an agent of the
corporation. At least, the higher
court Monday, in the case of the Y.
and M. V. Railroad against ]. Watt
Bishop, holds that if the appellee will
enter remittur reducing the verdict
of the trial jury from $4,750 it will
affirm the case, but will reverse it
if he does not. In other words, the
supreme court judges believe that
"the verdict is excessive to the extent
that it shows passion or prejudice on
the part of the jury"
Mr.. Bishop brought suit against
the Y. and M. V. road in the circuit
court of Bolivar county, alleging that
fagman or brakeman of the road
treated him rudely and insultingly
upon an occasion when he was about
to board a train and his ticket was
demanded.
When the brakeman asked Mr..
Bishop to show his ticket, according
to the evidence, Mr.. Bishop raised his
hand with the ticket in the palm. The
fiagman or brakeman, did not con-
slider this a sufficient showing of the
ticket, and refused to permit Mr..
Bishop to get aboard when the train
began to move, and threatened to
have him put off. A seuffle ensued
between the two men until friend
of Mr.. Bishop led him to seat.

a defensive alliance and did not in
clude the Mediterranean. The Italians
look upon Trieste and the control Of
the Adriatic as the French look upon
reconquering Alsace and Lorraine.
Austria stands fair in the path Of
this ambition. The memory of for
mer wars and the recognition of pres
ent conflicting qualities make the Ital-
Ian people unwilling to support Aus
tria. The Italian governments deci-
sion that il was not bound to help
Austria and Germany because they
were not engaged in a defensive war
relieved it from entering upon a war
like policy which would probably have
failed of public support.
Moreover Italy has nothing to gain
by a war against the triple entente,
unless it might be part of Frances
North African possessions. The chance
of acquiring these would hardly be
worth exposing a long coast line to tho
French and English Mediterranean
fleets. On the contrary, a German

THE EUROPEAN WAR AND
INSURANCE POLICIES.

The Michigan department OF insur-
ance has received the past two weeks
large number of letters iDquiring as
10 what effect the European war will
have upon the stability of the foreign
insurance companies whose policies
are held by citizens OF the United
States. The commissioner deems II
proper To say TO the insuring public OF
Michigan, that foreign insurance COM
panies doing business in this country.
admitted and authorized by the vari-
Gus states are in effect American
companies. Every foreign company
authorized to do business comes into
the United States through one of the
states as a state of entry. Most Of
these companies make New York their
state OF entry and they must have a
deposit capital with the state of New
York equal TO the minimum capial re-
quired of domestic companies. This
deposit capital is regarded the same
as the capital of a domestic company.
Furthermore all foreign companies
are required 10 maintain the same re-
insurance reserve as the domestic COM
panies. These reserves are held or
deposited with trustees for the general
benefit and security Of all policyhold-
ers Of such companies in the United
states and these funds cannot be
withdrawn without the permission OF
the insurance department OF the state
OF entry AS a matter of precaution
the New York department has noti-
fled the various foreign companies that
no funds from this side Of the water
may be transferred 10 the other side
during the war period.
In view Of these facts and the as
surance by the New York department
that no funds will be permitted To be
transferred, 1t is the opinion of this
department that the European war
will not affect the security OF policy

a wasteful process, this conversion OF
grain into meat and milk. 1t has its
justification only in the greater palata-

rectly unavailable as food for man and

The diet or Americans will be

There was no food problem in this
country two generations ago when fish

keys, waterfowl, quail and buffalo
were abundant and wild berries, fruit
and nuts could be obtained easily and
