Mikgdo and his ministrs becus,
. of their attempts to appropriat,
a slice of China while the atten
rion Of the world has been rivitet
r On Eorope.
The President has already in,
timated to Chins that she must re-
linouish nothing to Japan which
woa.d contravene American trea
ties or American interests in the
slumbering repuol.c, At the
same time Japan has beeu not
fled that this government will
not approve her proposed ag-
grssions. In spite of attempt
which have been circulated from
Japanese source to prove that the
United States is not opposed to
Japans present eastern policy, it
is known that the American ad-
ministration is greatly irritated
at the persistent manner in which
the Mikado has been attempting
to force his demands on Caina at
the end of bayonts while most
OF her protectors are busy at war.
In the politica! gossip about
presidential candidates Wilson's
strength seems to be in the salts
faction felt by the people regar-
ding his conduct of American r,
lations with Europe. Whe con-
temptating the awful horrors of
the European war. the American
people are salts fed to know that
American boys ar not being
killed off as is being done in Eu-
rope. The same feeling tends to |
soften Public resentment against
the administrations NJ lean
Joiicy. Everybody agrees that
something should be done in
Mexico. but no one seems to be
n favor of sending Americans
mere to be killed Hence, Pres
dent Wilson gets the crdit for
having kept the United States
out of war.

New life was injected in the move
ment toward raising funds for the
completion of the Y. M. C. A. building
on Main street, which has been closed
all the summer because of lack of
funds.
The men who have subscribed to
the fund for erecting and furnishing
the building are to be called upon for
their unpaid subscriptions. Every eff
fort will be made to induce them to
nay off their obligations, made months
ago when the movement to erect in
Hattiesburg home for boys and men,
was launched
This was determined upon at a
meeting of the subscribers to the
fund, and of the directors of the Y M.
&c. A., held last night in the Main Street
building. The personnel of the com
mittee is not yet known. President
Victor M. Seaman will, within a day
or two, select three men who will have
charge of this work. They will 80

IF he don't want you, want you.
If he won't take you, I'll take you"
In the language of David Warfield,
in the Music Master, that is what
Mayor Batson did NOT say today,
when considering the great influx of
the Wandering Willies" which New
Orleans is driving through its gates,
and which are coming this way in
droves.
I'VE don't want them," he said, and
in his contentious he was supported
by Chief of Police Bennett.
The tramps are coming out of New
Orleans by the score, and nearly ev-
cry northbound Northeastern freighter
drops off one or two. Hattiesburg evil
IDENTIFY looks good to them.
Police Superintendent Reynolds, OF
New Orleans, has issued these instruc-
tions to his men: .ss ~
Instruct yonr men 10 be on the
alert for hoboes. Have them make
the rounds of secluded corners of the
city, with orders to arrest all vaga-
bonds and loiterers. We want to rid
this city of this undesirable class, who
are an eye-sore and nuisance to the
community"
"That means that We are to be both
cred with them for awhile" the mayor
said. Commissioner Caperton seemed
to have been the only official pleased
with the prospects. 81 can use 80 men

BUT LITTLE INTEREST =

Polls Were Opened at 9 O'Clock, and
viii Remain open Till 6-ResuIts of
Voting in County Will Be Known
Within Short Time Afterwards
State Results, However, Will Be
slow,in Being Compiled, Politicians
Declare.

Election day in Forrest county is
passing off quietly.
From throughout all Mississippi
similar reports have come from the
thousand or more voting precincts,
yhere a state ticket and county tick
cts are being balloted for.
There is comparatively little inter
est in todays event, owing to the fact
that it is a foregone conclusion that
the regular nominees are in no dan
ger whatever of having opposi-
ton independent and Socialist candi-
dates cutting into their votes.
1t is expected that the Socialists,
who appeared late in the campaign
with small list of candidates through
few sections of the state, will poll
but few thousand votes. Should
the Democrats come out in full force
today, the number of votes received
by opposition candidates would be rel
atively insignificant
At the two Hattiesburg voting pre-
Icincts, there were but few persons
present, any time during the day. The
voting was commenced at o'clock, as
required by law, and the polls will re
main open till 6 o'clock tonight.
Use City Hall.
\ The main part of the city hall is
being used now, as formerly, as bal
loting place. AS a result, there was
no police court today, and but little
business of any kind conducted by the
municipal officials. Court adjourned
| yesterday afternoon until tomorrow
morning, thus giving over to the elec
| ton managers the court room as bal
loting place.
| Court was adjourned by Judge John
son, because, he explained, he though
it was the duty of every man to go tt
his respective home today and vote
LIT was his original intention to ad
journ court until noon today, and yes
lterday morning he directed the gram
| jury and the petit jury men to returl
Ito Hattiesburg not later than noon tc
i day. Later he decided that all of tn
men Interested in the present term Q
court would not be able to return t
Hattiesburg after voting, and for tha
reason adjourned for the entire day.

If Best Results Are To Be Obtained.

To prevent in Hattiesburg a holo-
caust such as that brought about in

chief visited the school at the invita-
tion of Principal Tom Foote. Later
he will appear at those other schools
where the principals are Interested in
the safeguarding of the lives OF the
children.
Chief Potter's address this after
noon was based on the care and con-
troll of children in emergency cases.
, and was directed to both teachers and
students. He pointed out that be
cause the Massachusetts children be-
came panicky at the first sight oi

wards Carried Insurance.

Fire Of an unknown origin yester-
day afternoon at o'clock completely
destroyed dwelling No. 4Gi Bleckley
street. commonly known az the old
Lie house. where the late W. 8. Lee,
father of ID. s. Lee OF the Southern
Public Utilities Company and allied
interests. and his family lived for
number OF years. The house was
valued at about $2,0n0 and was in
sured for 5 900 with the E,aalty Trust
Company. The dwelling was occu-
pied by viii Edwards, a carpenter
and formerly street overster for the
City. who lost practically all his
household effects, valued at $50
and insured for q comparatively
small amount. The house was owned
by w. S, Lee Of Charlotte.
Members OF the family were aware
Of TIE fire whom flames burst through
the ceiling and into the living room,
where they we're seated. It was evi-
dent that the fire originated between
the overhead ceiling OF the first story
and the floor Of the second story. The
occupants OF the dwelling were taken
50 completely by surprise that they
barely had time TO escape from the
burning building building. Only
pieces Of furniture were gotten out
OF the building by neighbors who
were quick to arrive at the scene OF
the fire.
Immediately upon receipt Of the al
arm at &c department headGuerters
oil equipment of the station was CALI
ed out. The automobile hose wagon
was the first to ge away, but was
followed closely by the horse-drawn
wagon and the hook and ladder wa
gon. The various vehicles made good
time across the square. but after
passing Earle street going up North
Main street, they were greatly handi-
capped by the deep mud. The
auto hose wagon was brought toe ~
stop upon striking the mud. but after
n short delay was started again. The
horse drawn vehicles were. Of course,
greatly hindered by the mud.
When the fire department reached
the scene Of the fire the dwelling
was nveloped In flames. The auto
truck stretched 750 feet of hose and
the horse-drawh wagon put out esp
feet OF hose, these two streams. being
nll that were brought into play. The
water did good work, but the flames
had gotten such q long start they
were unable to save the structure. Ber
ing an old, two story dwelling and
entirely of wood construction, the
flames licked 1t up readily.
