TRAITORS AND EXECUTORS
FOR CONTEMPT.

Withia view of tagging up" admin
isttators, and executors who are lax
in their official duties, Judge w. NJ.
Denny, chancellor of this district, has
announced that persons in these ca
pacities who are delinquent for six
months or more are to be severely
dealt with.
In letter to Chancery Clerk Her
bert Gillis. Judge Denny declared
that not only in Hattiesburg, but
throughout his entire district, is there
a general disposition of administra-
tors, guardians, and the like, to be de-
linquent in making reports. Mr.. Gillis
today is communicating with the va
rious local attorneys, suggesting that
they get in touch with their clients
regarding this matter, at once.
In his letter to Mr.. Gillis, Judge
Denny says:
81 wish you to report to me, upon
the receipt of this letter, all admins
traitors. executors and guardians who
are delinquent for six months on; that
is, all of them whose reportsswere due
at the last or former term of the court

teaches me that the best way to Sc
cure action from defaulting or delin-
quent administrators, executors, ETC.,
is by way of citation for contempt.

her way TO Gravesend.
Sixty-seven members of the Ford

distributed among the newspapermen
who boarded the steamer at quaran-

TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-An informal
protest against the seizure of mail

ing officers by DR.. Henry Van Dyke,
United States minister to The Neither

Austria, and portion of that from
neutral countries but all that on board
the Rotterdam was taken, including
104 bags from Holland and - from
Switzerland. There were in all 70S

WATERS Of CAVE GRE EK LACKED
FORCE Of FLOOD TEN YEARS AGO

recommended the construction of a
dyke on the southeast of the stream
from some high point, the construction
being of such a character that it would
not be worn away by erosion. This
dyke would throw the waters south
west upon the desert.
Mr.. Trott then pointed out the GER
tainty that the course of the waters in
high flood time would he more and
more to the east. He said that the
tendency of the waters would he to
throw the silt they carried on the
northwestern bank and that plants
carried by the water or the wind would
take root there and create a natural
dyke continually obstructing the flow
! of the water in that direction In the
course of time the course of the
stream would be entirely changed.

The flood in Cave Creek which was
by no means so great as that of jan
uary, 1905, would have been much more
destructive if there had been such a
volume of water as there was at that
time for the flood waters were thrown
farther east and would have swept
through the center of the town. In
1905 the water did not come quite as
far as east as Five Points but they
covered an area of country mile or
two wide west of that, involving the
capitol grounds. They came within
an eighth of an inch of running into
the first floor of the capitol building.
At that time the board of super
visors employed Frank p Trott to
make an investigation and report upon
the situation. Mr.. Trott submitted a
very voluminous report in which he
