Weather, Fair and
Cool Is Due Here
For One More Week
BUREAU iNrIMArEs, HOWEVER,
THAT THERE'LL BE MORE
WARM WEATHER YET.

The first Autumn atmospheric tinge
of the season made its appearance in
Forrest county today, driving fright
ened Palm Beaches and battered
straw hats to their cedar chests and
moth balls, and brought upon the
scene those freakish looking hats
which fashion has decreed mere man
shall wear this fall.
But the Weather Bureau intimates
that you mustn't put those Palm
Beaches and straw hats too far away
as to make it impossible to recover
them on short notice. It is going to
be seasonable for while, but indica-
tions are that the chilly atmosphere
which ushered in today will not be the
general rule for the next ten days.
The weekly weather forecast for
the week beginning today is as fol-
lows:
, Middle Atlantic states: Fair and
moderately cool with probability of
frosts in the mountain districts We'd
nesday and Thursday nights. Later.
unsettled and warmer with prob
ability of showers Saturday or Sun
day.
South Atlantic and east gulf states:
Generally fair and moderate tempera-
lures.
West gulf states: Generally fair and
moderate temperatures.
Tennessee fair and cool with prob
ability of frosts in exposed places in
the Ohio valley. Then warmer and
cloudy with probability of local
showers.

tainment of the Baptist State Conven-
tion which convenes in this city No
vember 10 were taken last night when
Joint meeting of committees from
the four Baptist churches was held
lat the First Baptist church. j. B.
Walker was made chairman OF the
four committees and N. r. McCul-
Tough was named secretary-treasurer

lected, consisting of Miss Agnes Nc
Lain of the Emmanuel Church, Mr..
Criscoe of the Main Street Church,
T. B. Geiger of the Fifth Avenue
Church, and w. l., Pack OF the First
Baptist Church.
The chairman, with Claude Bennett
and o. d. B. Causey, were selected as
committee on hotel accommodations
and will ask the hotels of the city to
make a special rate for the messen-
gers to the convention.
A committee composed of G. R. Con-
|'ner, J. d. Caperton, and w. r. Eure,
was named on transportation ard will
call on all automobile owners of the
city to furnish cars for one hour dur
ling the sessions of the convention.

ientire convention one evening, after
(which the evening sessions of the con-
Ivention will be held at the college.
| This committee will solicit automo-
biles from everybody, regardless of

Iis necessary to have him take part in
this part of the program.
I In the near future the members Of
Fthis joint committee will call on the
residents Of Hattiesburg for room res
ervations, All homes of Baptists are
expected to be open to the visitors to

foxford between five and six hundred
visitors and messengers. This year Il
may be reasonably expected that mo-
Ffewer than $50 win be here. Hatties
rburg has a good reputation for hel
hospitality and the committee ii
charge believes she will maintain tha
record during the convention.

If the Chicago and Mississippi au-
thorities are not careful, they will
leave the impression on one Larcus
Walker, 14-year-old mute, of this city,
that nobody loves him. and that he is
not wanted here or any place else.
Larcus is the lad VINO boarded the
banana special pulling out of Hat
tiesburg several weeks ago, with a
view of taking short 10y ride" at
the expense of the freight department
of the New Orleans & Northeastern
Railroad. Larcus was locked up in
the banana car, and was unable to get
out until the train drew into the Chi
cago freight yards. The lad was near
famished, having had no water during
the As or 60 hours he was on the
train, and having lad to suhsist en-
tirely upon bananas. The police OF
the Windy City took possession of
him. and they have been holding him
since.
Chicago wants to get rid of the
mute. but can find no place to send
him. He has no relatives in Hatties-
burg, and no friends who would care
to be responsible for him. His moth
er and step-father are in Natchez
both in destitute circumstances, and
not being in position to care for him
Mrs. Ella Powell, the boys mother
notified the chief probation officer Of
Chicago. that the lad had a grand
Imother in Louisiana, who would glad
| ly care for him. But they can't locate
the grandmother, and a dispatch from
Chicago today states that Larcus snit
be hadn't known before that he pos

for firemen to break in. The blaze

overturned and walls bespattered in
blood.
When the fire, which started appar-

horrible sight greeted the firemen. The
woman's feet were charred. The blaze
also scorched Crowell's feet. and left
arm. One theory is that he was first
struck and the woman was then killed
and the bed set on fire, and that he
then aroused and fought his murderer.
A squad of policemen under Sergt.
Kehoe was quickly on the scene. In.
vestigation revealed no clew as to the
murderer. A mechanics hammer was
found. 1t was with this instrument
that the woman was killed and the
man beaten into insensibility. His

The following reply was received by

merce:
We have no connection with

lar with their proposition. Can

The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce officials say that, since the DEM

the representative business body from
that city has no connection of knowl-
edge of the affair. The local chamber
is of the opinion that the proposition
ought to have at least the Endorsement
from the McAlester chamber.
Although not disposed to interfere
with the sale of high class real es-
tate in Harrisburg by out of town in
terest, the chamber feels that Harris

knowledge of the kilograms exchanged

LARGE ATTENDANCE
At INAUGURAL BALL
Governor Brumbaugh and His
Party Attend Festivities For
While

Governor Brumbaugh was the guest
of honor last evening at the inaugural
ball of the big Q" Society in Chestnut
street auditorium.
The Governor and his party, includ-
| ing Lieutenant Governor and Mrs.
Frank b. McClain, Miss Mabel Brum-
baugh, Senator and Mrs. Edward e.
Beidleman, Senator and Mrs. Charles
Kline, Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus Woods, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Skunk Brown,
and the dozen or more members of the
Governors staff went to the auditor
ium Immediately after the new chief
executive of the State had clasped
some 1000 hands at the reception at
the Capitol
Because of the recent death of Mrs.
Brumbaugh the dancing was discon-
| tinued while the Governor was in the
| big room. He only remained a few
minutes-just long enough to tell the
be their guest and to wish everybody
q continuance of good time.
Chestnut street auditorium never
appeared to better advantage than last
evening. Massed flags and bunting
| formed an attractive background of a
color scheme that was made brilliant
| by the pretty gowns and conventional
black and white of the masculine
dress. A band under the direction of
Cornelius b. Shope and an orchestra
under Fred Weber's leadership play
ed the kInd OF music that helped make
the affair one of the most successful
dances of the year. During the even
ing the great party turned in for an
old d-fashioned Dan Tucker during
which Frank II. Hoy, Jr., acted as
master of ceremonies.
Just before intermission Governor
Brumbaugh and party arrived. Es-
corted by Senator Beidleman and
Charles e. Covert, president of the
big @" Society, the broadly smiling
Governor marched into the hall while
| band and orchestra swung into Hail
| to the Chief" and the great audience
arose and applauded. Because of the
late hour and the fact that the new
Governor was really fatigued after a
| long and strenuous day and evening,
Senator BeidIeman asked that the
usual receiving line be dispensed with.
Governor Brumbaugh spoke for few
minutes and then bowed and marched
out of the hall while the musicians
played AUD Lang Syne."
Among those present were many
members of the Legislature, State off,
cials, members of the big Q" Society,
their wives, daughters and friends.

tion has been given to stage settings
