aggregation of recruits that should set
the American League af1re."
With the team were a number of
Detroit newspaper men who have been
spending the training season in camp
at Gulfport. Each declare that they
dreaded having to return to Detroit
and go to work at the end of this trip.
Joe s. Jackson, probably the best
known baseball writer in America, and
an authority of baseball matters, who
is the sporting editor of one of the
Detroit papers, declared that the Tig-
ers will make an excellent showing
this year. "The cold weather." he
said, prevented continuous out-of-
doors practice while at Gulfport. The
men, however, are in good training
and are greatly benefited by their
Mississippi trip"
Jackson said that he would do ev-
erything he could toward inducing the
Washington baseball club to come to
Hattiesburg and train next year. 1.-THE
Tigers played in Hattiesburg two
years ago." he said, "and were impress
sed with the place. But as they own
their own clubhouse at Gulfport, they
would not make the change. But
Washington could be induced to come
to Hattiesburg, if the town would only
get behind the movement"
Prof. F. B. Woodley, and R. G. Hau
enstein boarded the special car at the
tigers and invited their right-feldel
to go to the high school and address
the children. The famous Georgian
however, was unable to stay over in
Hattiesburg long enough to do this.

ed the trouble" wrote the trial judge
to Gov. Brewer.
Briefly, the facts are alleged to be
that one day Sims went with DR.. Cow
art in an automobile into the country
where the physician had been called
to visit patient. En- route they par
took freely of jug of whiskey. While
the car stopped for the occupants to
remove an obstruction DR.. Cowart and
Sims became involved in a difficulty.
There was third party at the scene,
but he, too it is said, was drunk.
No one gould give clearly what the
facts were, but Dr. Cowart was killed
by blows struck him with small
piece of wood. 1t was claimed the ply
stefan first struck Sims with club.
In writing the governor Sims denied
that the doctor died from wounds he
inflicted, saying his death resulted
from injuries he received when he fell
from his automobile. When Sims, who
was engaged in the saw mill business
was tried at Gulfport in September,
1918, the jury returned verdict of
manslaughter, and the prisoner was
sent up for three years.
The wife and children of Sims live
at Richton, and people there became
deeply interested in them, donating
money for the expense of a pardon
petition. Three petitions are before
the governor in behalf of Sims, and
they are signed by many prominent
men all over the state. The family
is said to be in very Strengthened cir
cumstances, a little boy working for
50 a week, and small wages earned by
the bright young lady in store, be-
ing the only contributors to the sup
port fund of the wife, who is ill, and
her children.
From Jackson comes the following
account of the meeting of the COVER.
Miss Sims eyes were wistful as she
begged the governor to allow her ia
Their to leave the penitentiary. Gov
Brewer was deeply touched by her
fearful appeal, but told her as gently
as he could that he must further in
vestigate the matter. The girl left for
home with a leaden heart, but hope
full that in the near future the father
would return.
Letters Are Pitiful.
Letters from Sims to the Governor
are pitiful. In one he says:
Governor Brewer, for the love of
God have mercy on my family and let
me go home. l am an old man and
, serving time for a crime l am in
nocent of, God being my judge. DR..
Cowart, one of the best friends | had
in the world, fell from his auto in front
of his home and inflicted wound that
caused his death ,lt.
Many letters asking the governor to
pardon Sims have been received by
the chief executive, some from state
officials, others from legislators and
private citizens. A few have come
from relatives of Dr. Cowart protesting
against the granting of the pardon.
One attorney. in writing the COVER
nor, thus briefly described the affair:
Z. 'Cowart.. wealthy, Sims poor, both
drunk Cowart struck Sims first with
"a club, He then went on to say that
the men we're the best of friends, that
both enjoyed excellent regulations, but
that asjug of whiskey was RESPONSE
ble.' Sims has written friends that
he will never allow a dropaof whiskey
to pass his lips again that he has
been converted, and when he leaves
the penitentiary expects toi.work hard,

an investment of Millions;
Depends ON Tonnage

The building of big sugar refinery
at Portland, Ore, and the inauguration
CT steamship line between Portland
and Honolulu may be one Of the early
results ef the visit to Hawaii last
month of Joseph F. Smith, president
of the Mormon church, and Bishop
Charles w. Nibley. ~
Bishop Nibley, who is the financial
agent for the church, and President
Smith, On their return to the main
land Immediately boarded their pri-
vate car and were whisked north to
Portland. e. . 4 .-@
While in the Oregon city it deyel-
oped that the PURPOSE of their visit
was TO inspect various sites for the 10
cation OF a large sugar refinery and to
the result of sugar beet cul-
ture at Medford, Ore, and other parts
Of the Northwest where there are Nor
mon settlements.
If the refinery is built the Mormon
syndicate plans the building or pur-
chase of. a number of steamers to
carry raw sugar from Hawaii to Port
land, and the extension Of sugar cane
tCry. The investment CT many mil
liens of dollars is contemplated, if the
project proves feasible.
The ultimate carrying out OF the
plan, so far as the steamers is con-
cerned, resolves itself to question of
tonnage. At present, with sugar the
main export Of the islands, and the
tonnage of that commodity limited to
about 100000 tons annually, the ques-
ton of return cargo to the mainland
is serious. for the Matson and Amerl-
lines each carry about

the Oceanic line and to odd schooners.
The rnmored raise in freight rates
might give the new line chance to
carry quite a tonnage to Portland
