MORE DISPOSITIONS
ARE TO BE TAKEN
DENNY TO GIVE MISSISSIPPI CEN
TRAL-TRAcTIoN COMPANY
DECISION IN VACATION.

More dispositions are to be taken in
the suit against the Mississippi Central
Railroad Company, brought by the Hat
tiesburg Traction Company, for dam
ages and attorneys fees during the
late litigation over the main street
crossing, before Chancery Judge Den
ny fixes the sums.
The railroad company obtained an
injunction against the traction COM
pay, restraining it from placing its
tracks over those of the former COM
pany, on upper Main street. The in
junction was set aside by the Forrest
court, and the railroad carried the
matter to the State Supreme Court.
Here the lower court was upheld,
and the matter was remanded to the
lower court with the order that the
latter fix the amount of damages sus-
tanned by the injunction, and the at
torney's fees of the traction company.
S. E. Travis and Stevens & Cook are
the attorneys. A sum of $500 for fees
is asked.

Sheriff Takes the
2 Stokes Boys Back
To Poplarville Jail
BOTH OF THEM WANTED THERE,
IT SEEMS; THEY GO THROUGH
HATTIEssURo.

Not knowing which of the Johl
| Stokes arrested in Meridian was th'
one wanted in Poplarville for jai
| breaking, the police of that city pro
ceeded to hold both of them, as told
in The News yesterday. And, as is
| almost always the case, the police
were right in so doing. Because the
Pearl River authorities wanted both
of them.
Today the men are back in Poplar
vile, having passed through Hatties-
burg yesterday afternoon for the Pearl
River capital, in the custody of Sher-
iff NJ. d. Tate.
John Stokes, the sheriff stated, was
wanted at Poplarvile on charge OF
larceny and jail breaking, and Jessie
Stokes was wanted for assisting him
to break Jail.
The arrest Of the two boys in Me-
ridian came about in a rather peculiar
manner. Policeman Webb, who had
read a telegram at police headquarters
asking for the apprehension Of the
Stokes boys, recognized one of t.em
on the street Monday afternoon and
arrested him. In few minutes a Unit
ed States recruiting officer who had
also received a telegram to look out
for the two, came upon Officer Webb
and his prisoner, and when told that
the man was John Stokes, said
there was a man in his office in the
Great Southern Hotel who had given
the same name and he was then look
ing for an officer to turn him over to
him. This confused matters somewhat
and Officer Webb told the recruiting
officer to bring the man down and he
took them both to police headquarters,
when it became known they were John
and Jessie Stokes.
1t is said that it was the plan of the
two men to enlist in the army and get
away from this section in that way.

will not be allowed TO import so-called

Are Under Way.

Something like $500 male residents
of Forrest county. who have been dis
qualified as voters for failure to pay
their 1916 poll taxes, soon are to be
visited by representatives of the sher-
ifs office, and the 81 tax, plus the 81
penalty, exacted in the legal way.
A list of the delinquents is being
compiled by Chester Farley and Mrs.
Pauline Paschal today, and a deputy
sheriff soon will have garnishee writs
served on them.
Sheriff HARRISON has called on all OF
the big lumber mills and similar or.
SanizatiOns operating in Forrest cOun-
ty for list of their employees. These
lists are at the Court House now, and
the names of the delinquents on the
poll tax books are compared with
those on the employers lists In this
way. many of the delinquents are To-
Gated.
Just as soon as the writs garnishee-
ing the wages OF the employees can be
made out, they will be placed in the
hands of the deputies. Besides the 81
tax originally due, an extra 81 is as
sessed as penalty.
The greater part of the delinquents
are negroes, Sheriff HARRISON said TO-
day.
Among certain classes" he said,
'the belief prevails that the only pen
atty for non-payment of poll tax is
disfranchisement. But this is erro-
neous. The state sees to it that every
person assessed with poll tax must
pay unless he is legally exempted.
When garnishee writs are necessary.
the law provides that an extra dollar
be collected"
The number of delinquents this year
is no larger than in former ones, the
books of the sheriff's office show. 1t
has been in the neighborhood of $500
for some years.

LOMO MANAGEMENT
WILL CHANGE SOON
CHAS. r. D'OLIVE, HATTlESBURG
BOY AT THE A. AND NJ, TO
OPERATE THEATRE.

The LOmO Theatre, on West Pine
street, one of the prettiest moving pic
ture and vaudeville theatres in Missis-
sippi, soon is to go under the manage
ment of Charles r. D'Olive, a Hatties-
burg young man, who is now a student
at the Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College and l.. NJ. Joyner,
a fellow student.
A five year lease already has been
signed by DOlive When they will take
possession is not definitely known.
Yet it is likely they will assume con-
troll of the playhouse in June, after
DOlive's graduation from the A. & NJ.
D'Olive is a native of Hattiesburg,
and finished in the High School here
in 1913. He went Immediately to the
A. & NJ. College and will finish in the
school OF engineering there in June.
He will be the manager of the Lomo
and will personally superintendent the
entire business.
1T is our intention" D'Oliye de-
clared when he was here recently to
sign the contract, ito give the people
of Hattiesburg the best motion picture
service that can be bought on the
American market. The high standing
and completeness of the service will
be the point that the manager will
strive to make as good as the city can
support"
D'Olive, while not an expert moving
picture man, has had much experience
in this line of amusement, having been
interested in moving picture shows
since he has been at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College.
What the lease cost D'Olive is not
stated, either by the new manager or
R. r. Akers, the president of the Lomo
Company
1t is likely that many improvements
will be made to the theatre and the
stage will be enlarged so that high
class vaudeville shows may be given.
