Newman Plant is Threatened By Fire;
- !. < K X X X
Flames Break Out In The Fuel House

The combined efforts of the Hat
tiesburg fire department and of the
volunteer brigade of the j. ]. New
man Lumber Company, prevented a
disastrous fire in the big plant of that
company in Hattiesburg late yester-
day afternoon.
Fire broke out in the fuel room of
the plant, and for a few moments it
looked as if it would take a serious
turn. By the time Chief Potter and
his brigade of firefighters arrived, the
Newman volunteers already had rugged
up their fire-fighting paraphernalia,
and thrown one line of hose into the
blazing fuel house, and were pumping
hundreds of gallons of water onto the
blazing shavings and sawdust.
Chief Potter and his men then took
charge, and after half an hour had
extinguished the flames.
The fuel house is a large brick build
ing covered with tin. 1t is located
near the main part of the plant. In

it the shavings and sawdust from the
factory are carried by a system of
blowpipes. It's capacity is so or 60
carloads, and it was from two-thirds
to three-fourths filled yesterday. The
matter is carried TO the boiler rooms
by automatic conveyors.
The fire was discovered between 6
and z O'Clock, at a time when the day
shift was departing and the night
force reporting for work. This made
some confusion for time.
The actual damage done to the
building was small, although large
quantity of sawdust was destroyed.
"Chief Potter and his men deserve
great credit for their quick and effect
i've work" said one of the Newman
officials yesterday. while our fire
fighting brigade is valuable, the men
are not experienced firefghters. When
the chief and his men arrived, we
knew that the greater part of the dan
ger was past"

San Antonio, Tex, May 1S.-An
early withdrawal of the diminutive
punitive expedition directed by Col.
Frederick Sibley south of Boquillas
was indicated at army headquarters
here today. The rescue of Jesse Dee
mer, storekeeper, and Monroe Payne,
negro cook, who were carried across
the border by the bandits when they
raided Glenn Springs and BOquillas
twelve days ago, was reported today
by Col. Sibley. Major Langhorne. who
rescued the men, reported that he was
endeavOring to overtake the bandits,
who had eluded him at Ell Pine, where
he found Deemer and Payne.
Officers here regarded it as prob
able that a successful encounter with
the bandits would bring the expedition
to an end, and not at all improbable
that failure to overtake them would
also be followed by recall, as the
four troops of cavalry and the ma
chine gun company operating under
Col Sibley were considered made
quate for extended operations.
Deemer and Payne had been left at
Ell Pine by the retreating bandits with
instructions to the residents that they
be killed if an attempt to rescue was
made. The residents of the village
refused to obey instructions, profess
ing their friendliness to the Ameri-
cans when they entered the town yes
terday morning.

Washington, D. c., May 16.-
Tie long arm of the German mill

y erted TO the thousands Of
Cerman-Americans, and unnatural
lied Germans of the United States,
an admonishment to live up to and

German government, through
Ambassador Won Bernstorff, has
instructed all German consuIs in

This was done in an effort to

Won Bernstorff acted on instruc-

that the instructions are designed
to prevent plots and laWlessness

Counsel for Tom Leverett, SEN
fenced yesterday to life term in the
Mississippi penitentiary for the mur-
DER Oh Ed ,sradlev, ~. ;@,'nn. i'%r
August, today are preparing to appear
before Judge Paul &. Johnson, III the
Circuit Court of Forrest county next
Tuesday and make a motion for
new trial.
In Hattiesburg, Dan T. Currie and
J. E. Davis, the local members OF MS
counsel, are looking after the motion
here. while James w. Cassidy, Lever
ett's head counsel, in Brookhaven, is
preparing line of argument.
That the case will be appealed to
the Mississippi Supreme Court, should
Judge Johnson overrule the motion for
a new trial, goes without saying.
It became known here today that
the chief grounds upon which the re-
ouest for a writ of error will be based
will be that certain important testl-
mony. offered by the defense, was not
admitted by the court. This was the
testimony of Mrs. Leverett, who was
introduced by the defense. The court
ruled that certain parts of the testl-
mony given during the absence OF the
Jury was not admissible. When the
Jury returned, however, the defense
succeeded in getting into the record,
and to the jury, the statement that
Bradley had threatened Leveretts s
life. to Mrs. Leverett, and that she had
transmitted this threat to her hus-
band. The relations, between Mrs.
Leverett and Bradley as described by
Mrs. Leverett. were not allowed to be
presented to the jury.
This will be one of the reasons
given by Leverett's counsel to Judge
johnson, in their application for new
trial. The judge having already rulec
on the question is not likely to re
verse himself.
Reasons for New Trial.
Other reasons being investigated by
Leverett's counsel today are:
That two of the jurymen who
voted to send Leverett to the gal
lows had pre.judged the case.
Efforts to locate men who will tes-
tify to this are being made by the
prisoners counsel today; and
That one member of the jury,
whose name has been given, is
said to have stated that when he
voted TO ssfind the defendant gull
ty," and explained that as an
agreement on the penalty could
not be reached it should be left
with the court, he thought he was
voting for manslaughter verdict.
Even should the jufyman in ques
tion admit that he had become cor
fused in rendering his decision, !
would not matter, according to lead
ing Hattiesburg attorneys. Said on
