The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1916-07-10

Railroad service on the lines travers-
ing this section of Mississippi is grad
ually being resumed today. following
the big gale of Wednesday and Thurs
day. which put out of commission all
trains running to GulfpOrt, New Or
leans. and Mobile, south of Hatties-
burg.
Early today. the New Orleans d
Northeastern sent south to New Or
leans over it's tracks, fast freight,
and a few hours afterwards, No. l, the
New York-to-New Orleans passenger
train followed, and the first trains OF
snykind which have been able to use
the Northeastern tracks south of HIS
dale since Thursday, went through.
Despite reassuring words from the
main offices of the Gulf & Ship island
Railroad Companw in Gulfport that
trains to the South on that line VIII
be operated within a few hours, reports
from Virgins. Bond. and McHenry TINS
afternoon are to the effect that it may
he two or three days yet before trains
NAV be operated with safety south OF
Virgins.
It probably will be a couple of weeks
before the New Orleans, Mobile Il chi
cago Railroad will be able to use It's
tracks, because of the many washouts
and injured bridges and trestles.
The Gulf & Ship Island is suffering
from the worst washouts In lts ms
tory. Thousands of feet OF track oe-
tween McLaurin and Gulport were tenn
porarily put out of commission Thurs
day. For long stretches even the roao
bod was wiped away.
Extra Men Called.
Every available man in the service
has been rushed to the scene OF Tue
washouts. and these are being employ
ed day and night.
So many small breaks occurred along
the road that no attempt was made TO
trains. Tools and men were removed
in motor cars. AS the ground in the
washed out places is too soft for the
purpose of restoring the roadbed, crio-
bing is being resorted to. Conditions
,are such that steam shovels can be
used only with difficulty
South of Virgins, for long stretches,
the tracks we're completely carried
away, and nothing left to show that a
railroad right-of-way existed there. OF
ficiaIs of the road say that nothing even
approaching the present washout has
occurred before. No estimate of the
damage, however. has yet been made.
North of Hattiesburg on the G. & S. l.
but little track trouble was experienced
except fallen trees across the rat.s
These were removed the first day. how
ever. The telegraph service of the
company was demoralized, and not one
pole out of every five remained stand
ing following the storm.
The work of repairing the damages
on the Northeastern between Orvis
burg and Poplarviile was rushed witt
more speed than the company thougn
was possible. The result was that the
washouts were made good this morn

CLAIM OF COUNTY AGAINST
JONES G. HOvEY PUBLIC UTlL-
+ iTY is UP AGAIN.
CLAIM EXEMPTION ON
CORPORATION DEBTS
Supreme Court Asked to Decide if Cor
poraton Should Not Be Allowed First
to Deduct Value of Bonded Debt
From, Value Of Capital Stock Before
Taxing the Stock.

The claim OF the county against the
way Company for taxes on the stock
of the corporation for period OF five
years was up again in the supreme
court Tue sday. Judges Weaver. Pres
ton, and Evans heard an application
for a rehearing argued, but did not
rule on it. The application, as it has
now shaped the case, makes the de-
ClsiOn OF the court on it of Very vital
importance to corporations in Iowa.
The ruling may establish an entirely
new precedent. The interesting ques
ton involved is whether or not in MAX
ing the assessment for taxes against
the capital stock OF a corpora ton there
should Ne deducted the debts of the
corporation and the tax be levied only
against the next value OF the stock over
and above the debts.
The county officials had claimed, and
the supreme court had accepted the
|claim as correct that the property was
shown TO be worth at least S4C9, 900
which was what il was sold for soon
after the assessment was made TO the
Iowa Railway and Light Company But
IN real estate of the corporation.
Wants to Deduct Bonds.
The COMPANY. in the motion for
rehearing, claimed that only $3.50. 900
was actually received in the sale or. in
other words. the 81 30 900 difference was
represented by d bonded Indebtedness
which should be deducted to arrive at
the actual value. ON behalf OF the
county il was argued tina. the law OF
Iowa does not recognize the right OF a
corporation to offset its bonded debt.
or am other debt against it's capital
stock in the matter of assessment and
that it would be unfair to have a cor
poratiOn thus deduct its mortgage or
bonded debt while refusing TO permit a
farmer or merchant 10 deduct his debts
from ihe value "f his visible property.
On the former hearing the supreme
court reduced the assessment against
the capital stock Of the company from
$50, 900 actual value, to $l23. 600 actual
value and S30.75O taxable value but
the company desired reduction to s53,-
900 actual value ON the modified val
uation. as fixed by the supreme court.

Goes Trave,;ns
Loaded With Cash

Daniel Rea, laborer employed by
Britain & Co.. lived for many years at
DIG Lee street. He was a bachelor a
steady worker, thrifty but described as
odd-even peculiar. What follows bears
out the description and other charac-
teristics. %tE-
| Britain & Co pay their employees
twice month. For years on each pay
day, Rea came to the Fidelity Savings
Bank and deposited a good part OF his
savings. He4averaged about $25.i a
month. Not once did he miss making
| his deposit, and thru a long period Of
years he has never been known TO
! withdraw one penny of the accumula-
ton. AS certain as pay day came
around Rea came to the bank. His
much of certainty thru all those
/ Years as anything could be that was
the act of a human. ST.
The savings grew and grew until
large sum had been gathered. During
much of this time Rea.s employment
kept him wading in brine at the pack
ing plant. The brine eventually af-
fected his feet. until he became lame
and practically incapacitated. y"
1t Is no eXaggeration to say that the
bank officers were shocked when Rea
came in one day, turned in his bank
book. and asked for the money. The
cashier was even mildly astonished
when Rea wanted the money in cash.
The bank officers suggested to Rea
that il would be much safer If he was
going to carry the money to take 1t in
a draft. But Rea was insistent. He
wanted the cash. He got it-s2.600.
He left the bank with bills fairly
bullying from his pockets. He was fair
~ padded with green backs. And SO
loaded he boarded a train for Chicago,
bound on his way east. 1t has since
developed that. being no longer really
able to work. when he left here he
started for New York to live with a
sister.
The next heard from Rea was at
Gary Ind. Chief of Police Breckel re-
ceived telegram from the police of
Gary saying they had in custody a
man giving the name Of Daniel Rea,
SIG Lee street. Marshaltown. who had
81 500 in cash on him. The telegram
asked for informa ton. The informa-
tinn rega riding Rea. as to who he was
and where he was going. was supplied
Later word came from Gary that the
police had persuaded Rea to trade his
ca sh for a draft before boarding train
for New York. Altho ii IS not known
here how the Gary police happened to
take Rea into custody. the presumption
is reasonable that they discovered that
he was loaded with money. Such a dis
covery would not have been difficult.
il is said. judging by the way Rea's
pockets bulged when he LETT here. But
the unusual thing is how Rea ever got
thru Chicago alive and with all that
wad of wealth.

subject a Study in Civic Perspective"
DR.. Flint discussed some of the funde-

applied equally as We'll to the indivd-

and more elusive things.

HIST recruits IN much larger numbers
, than any movement to uphuild the in

DR.. Flint said people gave more
quickly and freely to build hospitals
and sanatoriums than they did to,
build schools and colleges. Why? Be-
cause the hospitals represented an APP
peal to the physical. They were
more easily understood and their ap-
| peal was more instant and stronger.
Schools and colleges represent a less
Spectacular but fully as important an
appeal.
Following a similar line OF argument
| DR.. Flint said huge numbers of people
would quickly enlist in movement for
a cleanup day in city who would
not turn a hand to promote moral
and spiritual cleanup campaign in
their town. The importance of the in
! tellectual, moral, spiritual. and re-
iligiouS elements or city 8 growth ana

mated, DR.. Flint said. The lesson
drawn was that in exact relation as

preacher who was called from Brook

clear-cut scholarly thought and logic
He was several times applauded, and
the club members were pleased with
his address which was cut short be-
icause DR.. Flint found it necessary to
