DEODORIzED SKUNKS
ATTRACT ATTENTION

Hattiesburg seems destined to be

try--a sure enough skunkery, where
live pole cats are to be farmed for
supplying the demand from geological
gardens and to supplement the fur
trade OF the nation with the valuable
pelts, which V. A. Dennis, the owner
of this new industry expects to obtain
from the large number of deodorized
pole cats he contemplates raising
from the colony of skunks he now has
at his place on Fifth street, this city.
Considerable attention was recently
attracted to the fact that pole cats
were being farmed within the cor
porate limits of this city, by the pub
LEGATION of the statement that certain
citizens in the neighborhood of the
Dennis home had lodged vigorous
complaints with the city authorities
for permitting them to be "stunk out
OF their homes by live pole cats" It
now appears that the notoriety given
the matter by the newspapers has
had the dual effect of bringing the
new Industry into prominence and
The discovery that without injury to the
animal the pole cat may be complete

that there is money in the pelts of the

TAAW PICTURES
TO Be SHOWN
MINISTER'S OF CITY PROTEST
BUT COMMISSIONERS RULE
NOTHING IMMORAL.

The City Commissioners were this
morning visited by one of the minis
ters Of the city. who stated that he
had suggested in his sermon Sunday
that the showing Of such pictures as
the Thaw-White incident should not
be permitted by the authorities. and
that there would be a meeting of the
preachers OF the city this morning for
the purpose Of passing resolutions on
the subject, urging a prohibitory or
der against such pictures.
The commissioners stated that In
the absence OF any formal charge or
. knowledge upon the part of the au-
thorities that any particular picture Is
In contravention of public morals and
decency they were powerless to pro-
hibit the exhibition.
Learning of the complaints lodged
against his showing the Thaw-White

professional and business men to visit
his theatre at 1870 this Afternoon and
witness the exhibition specially put
on for their inspection. He promised
that il they decided there was any sug-
gestion of immortality in the film he
would not attempt to exhibit it for
the general public.
After having seen the picture the
parties mentioned unanimously decid-
ed that there is nothing immoral or
salacious in the scenes depicted in the
film, whereupon Mr.. Hirsch decided
to exhibit the film as advertised.
Up to late hour this afternoon no
resolutions upon the subject had been
presented to the commissioners.

tutionalists and whose death has
aroused British officials.
Following the interview Senator
Shively said the Benton case will be
probed further and that it would no,
be brought onto the floor of the Sen
ate until the investigation now In
progress has been completed. Full
reports from every possible source
are being gathered.
The President also conferred with
Secretary Bryan about the Benton
case, with the same general results.
1t is understood Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, British ambassador, has ex
pressed to the British Foreign Office
his pleasure at the promptness of the
American government in seeking to
ferret out the truth about the killing
of the British subject.
Full details Of the execution are not
in the hands of the State Department
officials, but they are being gathered
rapidly. 1t is admitted generally that
the case hinges largely on whether or
not Benton went to Gen. Villas head
quarters armed. That he was high
tempered and had had previous diff
culties with Constituionalists is
known, but on the single fact of
whether he had revolver when he ac-
costed Villa depends, to a great ex-
tent, judgment of the whole affair.
Benton's friends say he never carried
weapons.
Government officials here are impair
tial in their remarks about the incl
dent, insisting that any judgment
formed before all the facts are collect
ed necessarily rests on bias or preju-
dice.
Position Difficult.
Upon the truth or falsity of Villa s
statement that Benton tried to kill
him will depend the views both Great
Britain and the United States will
take of the affair. In official circles
the prevalent belief is that in the
absence of satisfactory evidence to the
contrary, it will be difficult for this
government at least to reject Villa S
version. To do so without sat
isfactory proof to the contrary,
it is pointed out by some Of
cials, would be unnecessary to
provoke unfriendly relations with the
Constitutionalist chief, who is in con-
troll of vast territory adjacent to the
United States, wherein are many for
eigners, for whose protection the Uni
ted States is solicitous.
In the meantime the Constitutional
list agency here is active in issuing to
the press kilograms from Gen. Villa
stating his defense for the killing.
They are along the same lines as pre-
vious messages, and Villa asserts in
one of them that he still has Benton's
pistol. Other kilograms to the agency

IN THE DAYS OF THE DOOR

"People who get about much
must have noticed one change
that has taken place in the last
few years, said the man with
tho red mustache, and that is
the abolition Of doorplates for all
except busips~I purposes. There
was a time, anu not so very lcng
ago, either, when everybody tat
aspired to any kind of social
prominence decorated his front
door with a plate OH which his
rame was engraved

kinds Of metal, ranging from TN
to solid silver, according to the
prosperity Of the owner. Some
of them were very expensive. !

craze was raging III ats most
virulent form, ard | know for a
fact that we turned out any num-

and even beyond the $50 mark.

plates we ever made was for a
man who lived down in the for
eign section. This man was a
Russian, and he had a name
about seven feet long. l can t
remember now what it was, but

plate we had in the shop to fit
out, and that when we were
finally through with him his front
door resembled nothing so much
as the billboard Of a vaudeville
show. '-' !,

about another block in that part
of the city. There were forty
houses in the block. Each was
ornamented with a doorplate,
and on twenty-one of these houses
