ALLEGED JEWEL
!. THIEVES ARRESTED
TWO MEN CHARGED WITH
ENTERING SANFORD
HOME CAUGHT.
ONE Is NAMED AS
COLLEGE INVADER
lnstructress Identified Charles
Boyer as Man Found in Her
Room.

Two white nomads. George
Robertson, 36, and Frank Boyer. So
who were arrested by Constables w
II. Foreman and Jesse Robertson
near Pickensville, Ala, Friday night,
are being held in the county iail
here, and 1t is believed that they are
not only the men who stole Jewels
valued at $4,000 from the home of
j. 7. Sanford, North Third avenue.
while a parade was in progress on
the morning of November 10, but
are responsible for other grave
crimes which have been committed
in this city and vicinity during the
past six weeks.
Boyer has been positively identi-
fled by an instrustress at the Mis-
sissippi Industrial Institute and Col
lege as the man whom she found
concealed in her room in one of the
dormitories of that institution on the
night of October IL, and this serves
to connect him with the assassina-
tion Of Frank Dashiell, which took
place the same night.
The two men were seen in boat
on the Tombigbee river near this
city several days ago, and their ac-
tons melted suspicion. They got
away before their arrest could be
effected, but officers at points down
the river were requested to keep a
lookout for them and Friday
they were taken into custody by Ben
Gunter, former sheriff of Pickens
county, Ala.
Officers spent practically the en-
tire day Saturday catechising the
men, and they told conflicting stories.
They have every appearance of
criminals and some of their cloth
ing bears marks serving to indicate
that it was issued from the store
room of some prison.
1t is believed that the two men
are not only responsible for local
crimes, but are wanted elsewhere,
and their photographs will be sent
to leading Southern cities for identi-
fication.

Meeting Of Highway COMMITTEES.

Col. P. L. Atherston, president Of
the Jackson Memorial Highway AS
sociation, has issued a call for the
executive committee of the organi-
zation to meet at the Setback hotel
in Louisville, KY, Monday, Novem-
ber 20, for the purpose of receiving
the report of the pathfinders who
recently went over the two proposed
routes between Nashville and New
Orleans.
1t was thought that this meeting
would be held in Nashville, but Col.
Atherton has recently been i'll, and
did not care to make the journey
to the Rock City, so requested men,
bers of the committee to assemble
in Louisville. The report of the path.
finders will be received and consid.
cred, and it is probable that an Of
ficial route of the highway will be
named. 1t is possible, however, that
advocates of the Alabama route will
endeavor to have final action in this
matter postponed, but such a move
will be fought by those who favor
the Mississippi course.

St. Paul, November 11.-Thirty-
eight precincts whose records show
they should poll about 400 votes,
the 5000 ballots cast by the state
soldiers in Texas and the votes of
railroad and travelling men under the
absent voters law, tonight held the
balance in Minnesota, between Will
son and Hughes Therefore the
state was still classed as doubtful,
with predictions varying widely as
to the outcome of tho guardsmeu's
hallotlng and a wide difference of
opinion over the number Of votes
cast under the absent voters law.
Latest returns gave Wilson 177,-
534 to Hughes 17S,037 a Hughes
plurality of SOB in 30OS precincts.
OF the missing 3s, 10 are in Koochi-
ching county and IL in Beltralni. 1t
is estimated tonight that it will take
three or four days to hear from the
former and nothing is expected from
the latter before Monday. Both coun-
ties were strongly Wilson, but the
missing precincts are not consider
able in population, Eight missing
precincts in Aitken were fairly pop
ulous. Aitkin gave a Hughes plu-
rality.

WILSON VICTORY
CELEBRATED HERE
LOCAL ADMIRERS or THE
PRESIDENT PARADE
IN HIS HONOR.
PRINCESS BAND
HEADS PARADE
Participants Cheer Vigorously
as They March Through the
Streets.

Not since 1884, when Grover
Cleveland was triumphantly elected
president of the United States over
his Republican opponent, James G.
Blaine, has there been such an en-
thusiastic rally as was held here Fri
day night to celebrate the triumph
of Woodrow Wilson Over Justice
Charles E. Hughes. 1t was an old
time Democratic jollification, filled
with merriment, mirth and exalta-
ton, the feeling of buoyancy which
filled the hearts of the participants
having been all the greater because
they had been kept in suspense such
a long time before the outcome of
the contest was definitely known.
The parade formed in front of the
Princess Theatre on North Market
street at $3.50 o'clock, and marched
through the business and residential
sections of the city, those who par
ticipated cheering vehemently as
they passed along through the
streets. The Princess band led the
procession, and the marchers kept
time both with their pedal extremi-
ties and vocal organs to the martial
music issuing from the instruments
in the hands of members of the band.
It was, indeed, a glorious occasion,
and local admirers of President Will
son, who veritably snatched victory
from the jaws Of defeat, showed in
many ways the iubilance which they
felt.
While no forensic program was
provided, arrangements for the dem
onstration having been too quickly
|consummated to include feature of
this character, the marchers stopped
in front of the residence of Hon. p.
w. Maer and called upon him for a
speech Mr.. Maer is a Wilson ap-
pointee, having been named by the
President as collector of the port of
Mobile, and readily responded to the
call, having declared in a neat little
speech that he appreciated the feel
ings of the celebrators and shared
with them the joy which was in their
hearts as a result of the magnificent
victory for Democracy.
They then went to the home of
Capt. J. |. Sturdivant on South Third
street, where they heard another
eloquent approval of the voice Of
the people as expressed in Tuesdays
election from the lips of Mr.. Sturdi.
want
After leaving the Sturdivant home
the marchers called on Capt. T. II.
Sharp, who is another Wilson ap-
pointee, having been given the local
postmastership, and Capt. Sharp
made them an appreciated talk.

President Has 272 Electoral
Votes and May Hove 276
When All Are In.

Washington, Nov. Woodrow
Wilson has been reelected President
of the United States with votes to
spare.
He has carried California, which
will make his total electoral vote 269
or three more than enough to elect
him.
The latest returns practically as
sure his capture of New Mexico with
its three electoral votes, which would
make the Presidents total 272.
Tonight's dispatches bring the
word that an error in New Hamp-
shire gives the President lead of
10 votes in that state. New Hamp-
shire has four electoral votes.
So that even if the Presidents
California vote should be split, he
apparently has a margin which moth
ing can overcome.

sIMRAll HEADS FRATERNAL
BOARD At STATE EXPOSITION
LOCAL MAN GIVEN IMPORTANT
POSITION BY DIRECTOR
H. E. BLAKESLEE.

| Hon. H. F. Simrall of this city, has
been invited by Director General
Blakeslee to act as chairman of the
fraternal section of the Mississippi
Centennial to be held next year at
Gulfport.
In order to properly carry out the
plans and ideas connected with this
department, Mr.. Simrall has invited
the following ladies and gentlemen,
all of whom are prominent in fra
ternal circles throughout the state.
to serve with him as directors:
Hon. L. A. Benoist of Natchez,
representing the Masons; Mrs. Ber-
tina NJ. Scales, Grand Matron of
Starkville, representing the Eastern
Star; Walter S. j. Doty, Grand Sec
retary, of Grenada, representing the
Odd Fellows; Mrs. Agnes Williamson
Miller, Grand Clerk, of McComb,
representing the Woodmen Circle;
Judge J. R. Kelley, Grand Chancel-
lor Of Gulfport, representing the
Knights of Pythias.
The management OF the Centen-
nial will erect on the ground beau
tiful temple to be dedicated to Fra
ternity. Here will be found rest
rooms and bureau of information
for all fraternalists visiting the ex-
position. Certain days will be set
apart for each of the great fraterni-
ties, on which occasions it is expect
ed that many thousand members will
attend and interesting meetings will
be held in the great auditorium.
The fraternal spirit is as wide
spread in Mississippi as in any state
in the Union and embraces within its
folds thousands of the most prom
inent and useful men and women OF
the commonwealth.
More firesides have been made
brighter, more widows and orphans
have been given protection through
the realms of the various fraterni'
ties than through any other agency
outside the church. There is not
one of them but what teach and
practice the relief Of the needy and
uplift of the down-fallen. SO it
lis very fitting that this splendid In
fluence for good should have place
in the Centennial celebration Of oul
great state.

Friday night, and after the returns
of the election were made sure, a
group of college teachers went out
at IL o'clock and raised "0ld Glory
in triumph over the campus. As the
stars and stripes waited overhead in
the moonlight cheers and cries for
Wilson went up from the patriotic
crowd. Next morning when the girls
went to breakfast the old college
mule stood very significantly under
the flag as if to say, "Hurrah fol
