ode MOORE ARRESTED.

Jackson. Moore, who was dep
uty land commissioner for year and
resigned last June, was arrested here
on an affidavit sworn out before JUS
tice of the Peace F. M. Featherstone
by o. w. Kelly, charging embezzlement
of $202.50 Moore, at the county jail,
said he would not make any effort to
give bond. He also said that he would
waive preliminary hearing.
While Moore maintains his inno-
cence. stating he never profited one
cent from any transactions while In
the land commissioners office and
that the money mentioned in the af-
fidavit was properly appropriated, he
did say that the total shortages in the
land commissioners office amounted
to fully $4,000. He said that men in
the office, including Land Commits
sioner M. A. Brown and clerk, M. A..
Pilgrim, had been in the habit of &C
cepting money, and keeping 1t until
the commissioner approved applica-
tions were approved the money went
into the state treasury. He admitted
that no money was supposed to be sent
to the offices and If 1t was should
have been returned He claims that
money he received from Mr.. Kelly
went to pay back somebody else whose
application had not been approved.
"Who is responsible for this $4,000
shortage you say exists? was asked
Moore, and he replied:
II will not call any names. Wait
until later"

KILLS SELF OVER WOMAN.
Remorse Overtakes Man Who Fled
With Another's Wife.

WIN AnOtncTS WIG.
Meridian.-There have been many
cases where confiding wives would re-
fuse to have any suspicion of wrong
conduct on the part of their husbands.
but there developed in this city case
where a husbands love and confidence
was equal to any ever shown by the
female sex. After hunt CT several
days James Smith of Nancy, Jasper
county, located his young wife and -
months-old baby at the Elmire Hotel
annex, In this city. Smith came to
Meridian from Nancy after receiving a
telephone message that his wife was
here and wanted to see him. Upon
his arrival in this city Smith brought
the startling news that A. E. Dyse, the
man whom he suspected of being i'm
plicated in some way with the mystic
rious disappearance of Mrs. Smith and
young child, had committed suicide at
his home, near Nancy, by firing 3d.
caIiber pistol bullet through his brain.
Smith declares that Dyse, who was
about 38 years old, left note saying:
"This last trouble that have gotten
into Is more than l can stand" While
he had not been directly accused of
having connection with the disappear
ance of Mrs. Smith, his actions and al
legged departure from home soon after
Mrs. Smith left aroused the suspicion
of those familiar with the case. and Of
ficers express the opinion that guilty
conscience and fear of arrest may have
prompted him to kill himself.

Prof. Hughes is Dead.

The death at Starkville of Prof. H.
p. Hughes, who had been recently
chosen as director Of industrial edu-
cation at the Agricultural & Mechani-
cal college, removes one OF the best
known and most progressive educa-
tional leaders in the state. Mr.. Hughes
believed in the development of all the
faculties, physical, mental and moral,
of those committed to his charge, and
his record as head OF the schools at
McComb will stand as lasting monu-
ment to his ability and effectiveness.
The death of Mr.. Hughes also Gre
ates a vacancy in the ranks OF the
State Teachers association, which will
be difficult to fill. At the convention
held here last May he was unanimous
ly elected as president for the current
year, and had shown deep appreciation
of the honor bestowed. He is the first
president of the association who had
died during his term of office, and 1t
is probable the vacancy will remain
until the 1915 convention is held.

EMIT IS OPINION or ALL.
HOPEFUL TALKS ARE MADE
Importance Of the Henry Bill for the
vaIorization Of Cotton Stressed by
President Barrett Of the Farm
ers' Union.


Another cotton handling conference
between farmers. merchants and bank
ers of Kinds county was held at the
county courthouse under the chair
manship of R. e. Remington, head OF
the cotton conference committee OF the
board Of trade. The significant fea-
ture of the meeting was the showing
of absolute harmony among all pres
emit, including the representatives OF
all interests, in the matter OF keeping
cotton off the market until conditions
justify turning it loose. The "buy-a-
bale" movement was given a great
boost, and by way Of further demon
strating entire agreement on that plan,
motion offered by F. e. Gunter, vice
president Of the Merchants Bank Il
Trust company of Jackson, for a COM
mittee of three to expedite that move
ment was agreed to unanimously.
The tenor of all the five-minute
speeches was optimistic and hopeful.
Included In the list of speakers was
President Charles s. Barrett Of the
Farmers Union, whose remarks were
along practically the same lines as ne
followed at the union gathering in the
forenoon. He stressed the Importance
of the Henry bill for the valorization Of
cotton, contending that the govern
ment can easily afford to do this with
out hurting a single soul or single
interest.
A resolution authorizing the chair
man and secretary to ascertain wheth-
err reduced rail rates can be secured
from all parts of the state for the state
convention, offered by Edgar S. VIII.
son, was adopted.

Can BASEBALL Be FIXED? NOT IF FANS KNOW IT

Baseball, of all sports in the United
States, has managed TO escape the
crook and the faker. True, in the
early days Of the sport. before even
the players realized its possibilities
and when gamblers owned or con-
trolled teams, there we're fixed games.
When Hulburt. at one stroke, Danish
ed the crooks and cleansed the game.
he made II the American sport. II
has remained clean, in the face of
great temptations, yet in modern
baseball there was one attempt TO
put over gigantic fraud upon the
public by fixing a series of games
in which the entire central west was
interested.
That attempt which failed proved
beyond doubt TO players and to the
closer followers of the game that
baseball cannot be fixed without be-
ing detected
The great fake was attempted late
in September of 1897. The National
League. then composed of 10 clubs,
was playing for the Temple cup, and.
/ initiating the big event the Western
/ League. then the great baseball cir
cult of the Mississippi valley. was

! Minneapolis and Indianapolis had
! finished first and second in the West
ern League race. and these teams
we're given the honor of playing for
the beautiful trophy and for a share
of the gate receipts The team that

was TO get the prize and the larger
share Of the receipts.
Some leading spirits among the
players conceived the idea of taking
the entire series They got together
a majority Of the players of the two
teams, held meeting in the Reed
House at Indianapolis and reached
this agreement:
1 That indianapolis was to win the
first two games. which were 10 be
/ played in Indianapolis, Minneapolis
was to win the next two and the teams
we're TO fight honestly for the lasl
I three games. Some of the players
whose consciences were hurt we're leo
TO believe II was all right, because the
last three. or two out Of three, were
to be honestly played. Il was agreed
that the players share of the receipts
should be divided equally between al
the players in the plot, the idea being
that the receipts would be much larger
II the entire seven games were played
Il was further agreed that the pitch.

Nike DONLIN WAS
REAL FANS IDOL
Started as Pitcher, But
Turned Out TO Be
Fielder
WAS HITTER OF
MUCH ABILITY

The unconditional release of Mike
Doniin from the Giants marks the re-
tirement-that is TO say, retirement as
big league player-of one of the
most picturesque. most written about
and most likeable athletes that ever
cut his mark on the big circuit.
Contrary TO the general understand
inc of those uninitiated in baseball. an
unconditional release is intended as
compliment Il means that the player
is given permission TO dicker and bar,
ter for his services with any team he
pieases. whether il be in the big league
or the minors. Usually a player IS
held under the reserve clause so that
if another club desires his services
money will have 70 be paid for the re-
lease of his contract
Mike knew some time ago that he
was to be released In fact, he very
candidly told in the spring that he
knew McGraw was carrying him out
of friendship. though he would try ano
do enough to earn his salary.
There was never a better natural
hitter than Donlin. and his slipping
as a player began when he quit base
ball in 1903 to work a season on the
stage. He was out for two years. ana
when he did come back as a member
of the Boston club he realized very
quickly that a large part of his base.
ball punch was gone McGraw took
him as a member of the Giants on their
tour of Cuba and he proved such
valuable man in exhibition affairs that
he was taken on the trip around thu
world.
Though much has been written and
talked of the old days when Donlin
broke over the traces and did things
which he is not proud of, he was born
with the instincts of a gentleman.
Once he had grown old enough TO see
the error Of his early ways he was
quick to develop these Instincts ana
became Immediately popular with the
players as we'll as the public
"To tell you the truth" he says. 81
never got a real chance to prove that
was not a roughneck until became
Giant In 1905. Before that I had
been In Cincinnati. and. believe me
they handed me knockouts there as a

IF asked TO give advice to a younf
payer, ne duueus i would tell Mn
above all things not to be a crab and
moreover, not 10 get the impression
that everybody was trying TO beat hin
out OF something. I believe in bal
players saving their money. though
have not practiced II. but ! think they
can so too far with that A fellow can
lose lot of knowledge about people
by being so close he won't go out and
mix with them. A man who is mex
cusably stingy will never have friends
and. believe me- friends are more val
liable than money when you need
them"
Donlin used to drink occasionally
while a member of the championship
Giants. but never so much as some
fans would believe. He swore off fol
good in 1908, when he was married
the first time and since that time ha:
never touched a drop.
Donlin is but 80 years old. and ther,
is still a good future for him as coacl
or manager. Like Brickley. the foot
ball hero, he would like to get a jol

will go where he has to. He has been
in correspondence with several minor
league clubs concerning the Job of
manager, but nothing definite has
come of It. At present he is working
on the stage with Marty McHale in
a sketch.
Though it is not generally known.
Marty broke into baseball as left
handed pitcher He was born in Pc
oria, ILL.,, but spent most of his early
days In Erie, Pa. While pitching there
they discovered that Mike was a whale
of hitter He was turned into an
outfelder at Santa Cruz. Cal. and that
started his meteoric career. He went
TO ST. Louis in 1899. and for many
years ran Hans Wagner a close race
for batting honors In the National
League. He was at his best in Gin
cinnati and New York Donlin played
in ST. Louis. Cincinnati. New York
Baltimore, Boston, Pittsburgh, and
wound up in New York for the sec
ond time.
