City Will Make No
Appropriation For
a Frisco Building
COMMISSIONERS DECIDE THAT
FUNDS ARE NEEDED MORE
AT HOME.

The city Of Hattiesburg will not
make a contribution toward the fund
for the erection and equipment of the
proposed Mississippi state building
for the Panama Pacific Exposition at
San Francisco.
At special meeting of the Board
of Commissioners this morning, the
matter was discussed, and it was de-
cided that the members would not re-
cede from the position which they
took last September when they de-
cided not to make an appropriation.
The matter, consequently, was not re-
opened, and will not be.
This action was taken as result
of special meeting held at the Hotel
Hattiesburg yesterday afternoon by
representatives of the Mississippi Ex-
position Commission and Hattiesburg
business men. At that time 1t was
voted to ask the city commissioners
to officially take up the question of
making an appropriation.
"The present financial status Of the
city will not permit this extra ex-
pense." said Mayor Batson. "Of
course If the city should decide that
1t wants to make an appropriation, |
would vote for 1t. But we need our
money for other things, and oppose
sending even small sum to San Fran
CISCO"
This view also was held by Capt
Farley. Even the small sum of $3.50
for this purpose would be felt by the
city treasurer at this time" he said
1--WE have gone over the matter thor
oughly, and cannot see our way clear
in making an appropriation at time
when the city needs every cent it car
raise from taxes and the like"
The exposition commission will be
notified of their stand this afternoon

Frank James is Dead.

Excelsior Springs, Mo-, Feb. 19-
Frank James, one Of the notorious
James gang, died at his farm here late
yesterday. He had been in i'll health
for several months and was stricken
with apoplexy early yesterday morn
ing. He was seventy-four years of
age.
James has been living the life of a
farmer for more than thirty years. He
was one Of the last members of the
robber band whose career of crime
during the war between the states and
the unsettled period that followed
kept the people OF half dozen states
in terror.
In 1882, after Jesse James had been
shot and killed at his nome in Saint
Joseph, Missouri, by Bob Ford, also q
bandit, for a reward of $50, 900, Frank
James surrendered at Jefferson City
Mo. He was never convicted Of any
crime, however, and was never in the
penitentiary.

German Iron Ring

The first of the iron rings to be CIV

origin in exchange for gold and money
to be used in defense of the Father
land, to be worn in Hattiesburg is that
new being shown by Mrs. J. H. Will

father was a native born son of Ger

Loyalty to the Fatherland to evi-

for this iron"
This is the simple though impress

the exterior of the ring on either side
of the iron cross. More than a hun
dred years ago German women wore
rings of iron engraved with this in
scription. These were the rings is
sued during the Napoleonic wars,
"troublous time" indeed, and they sig
nified that the wearers had pledged
their gold or their jewels for the
cause of Germany.
Today, thousands OF German wom-

are wearing the simple iron band
around their fingers, which shows that
financial assistance had been given
the cause which the Germans think
is just.
Mrs. Williams purchased her ring
in Mobile. She did not give jewels
for it, but gave gold coin, which in
turn was sent to Germany. Thou

today that while the actual value of
her ring was but little, it means as

Ine principal place Where the rings
are exchanged is in New York, she
said, at little photograph shop. But
since the war came on, photography
has ceased to be the business of the
