 Extension Is Asked
Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Oct 31.-An exten- sion of the American consular ser vice Is being urged by the American Manufacturers Export Association of this city. The association would ex- tend the service through the navy to various ports in European coun- tries where there has been no con- sul heretofore, and to that end has petltioned the state and navy depart ments for such service. The plan of the association has to do with the establishment of a warship In each harbor where 1t Is thought such might be needed, by the navy de- partment, to work in conjunction with the consul appointed.

 THIS MORNING

This morning the sale of the prop erty of the delinquent taxes will be held at the city hall at 10 o'clock.

 In the beginning there were many more, but they have been redeemed J. J. Buckley, city magistrate, stated yesterday that he was not sure that he could permit the delinQuents to pay up after the sale started, but that they could pay up at any time before the sale actually started.
 Some of the property offered for sale IS good, according to the state ments of the officials at the city hall.

No doubt the smallness of the ad- mitted Republican States will occa- sion a smile from the Republican Headquarters, but, nevertheless, from all reports which have been received for the last two months, and as late as today. all of the states listed un- der the heading Doubtful" have been mentioned as such, and are at the present time In the same state of doubt.
 The last election In Maine does not presage the vote of that State going Republican, and in Presidential Elec tions local issues are lost sight of, and the State Is just as liable to go Democratic by the same majority as 1t went for local Issues about month ago.
 Tho States of New York. Ohio and Indiana are all considered very doubt full by Republicans and claimed by the Democrats, as the labor and farmer vote will undoubtedly go to Wilson.
 We find in Illinois this year a tre- mendous vote, the big increase being made up of women's votes, which makes Illinois doubtful, notwithstand ing 1t Is one of the largest railroad centers in the States, as no one can tell whether the woman suffrage vote will be cast to Hughes or Wilson, or whether 1t will be divided. If this vote is divided there Is hardly any doubt that Illinois will go for MT. Wilson.
 The Trans Missouri States, Iowa. Kansas, Minnesota and South Da- kota. which have always been Re- publican, are this year admittedly doubtful by the Republicans. for the reason that the farmers vote is un- doubtedly inclined towards Wilson, and this vote has always been the mainstay of the Republican majorities in these states.
 A hard fight Is being made in the State of Michigan, and. owing to the influence of Henry Ford and split in the Progressive vote. which Is two-fifths of the entire vote of the State. Is making 1t very uncertain

 DIES SUDDENLY

CANAplA Texas. Oct. 31.-Chas. Russell, known throughout the Unit. ed States as Pastor Russell" by reason of the fact that he was an independent minister, claiming no re- ligious sect and editor of "The cal, died on Santa Fe train here today while enroute from Los An geles to New York. His death came very suddenly. and was caused by heart disease.
 Pastor" Russell was born in Pitts burg in 1852. He was therefore six ty-four years of age at the time of his death. He began his independent ministry in P:ttsburg in 1878. and because of his refusal to affiliate with any religious sect, was for a long time the object of the con- tempt and scorn of regularly or dained ministers. Later in life he was regularly elected pastor of num- erous congregations and travelled up- wards of 3o.000 miles each year. He was the regular pastor of the Brook lyn Tabernacle.
 It was Pastor Russell who inter. preted the punishment of the Bible as eternal death and not eternal pun. lshment.

 The bids submitted by the contract. ors for hauling and placing the gravel was $1.9O per cubic yard The actual cost of the placing of the gravel was $1.29 when 1t was done by day labor. Thus. by following this method the city saved 6l cents per yard.

ATTORNEYS FEES
FIXED AT Sl,125
CHANCELLOR SAYS MISSISSIPPI
GENERALIZATION COMPANY
LITIGATION WORTH THAT.

Chancellor w. M. Denny, Jr., has
just rendered a verdict in the suit OF
the Mississippi Central Railroad Com
pany and the Hattiesburg Traction
Company, arising over damages due
the latter, and the question of attor-
ney's fees.
He says that SLIPS Is reasonable
amount for the services rendered and
fixed the fee at that sum. 1t will be
divided between Stevens & Cook, and
S. e. Travis, the latter having been
employed originally in the case.
The original suit was to have an
injunction restraining the Traction
Company from crossing the tracks OF
the railroad Company on Main street,
dissolved. The lower courts dissolved
the order, but the Mississippi Central
appealed the case. The Supreme Court
upheld the lower courts, but ruled that
the question Of attorneys fees would
have to be fixed in the lower courts.
The matter came up before Judge
Denny at the last session OF the Chan
Gerry Court. The railroad, at first,
insisted that $500 was sufficient fee,
while the opposition lawyers intimated
that they would be satisfied with not
less than $1,000. Later the railroad
company offered to pay $3.50, but this
was refused by Stevens & Cook.
During vacation, Thomas Brady, q
Brookhaven, appeared before Judge
Denny with additional testimony.
The decision was received in Hat
tiesburg yesterday.

CAPT. sHAckELFoRp SAYS CON-
TRlsuTIoNs ARE GRAD
uALLY FALLING OFF.

Hattiesburg is going to lose its
branch Of the Salvation Army il the
voluntary contributions Of its citizens
are not increased.
This announcement was made TODAY
by Captain Shackelford, in charge Of
the local offices.
In a statement issued today Cap.
tain Shackelford said:
THE income of the Salvation Army
on Saturday night was $4.9S, being
about SO short of its regular income,
which has been the case for the last
two Saturday nights, thus making for
the two weeks So shortage. This is
a great handicap to us. We depend
on our Saturday night collections for
our existence and when they fall down,
we fall. The week night collections
have dropped from rs to SO cents each
night, and this counts up fast.
I'VE have secured hall in Hatties-
burg. At present we have an enroll
ment on our Sunday school register
OF 20, which is increasing each week.
We were preparing to open our hall
for public meetings, beginning next
Sunday. We will, however, postpone
this until further notice. AS the in
come is continually falling down, con-
isequently our work is at standstill.
Unless our income increases the next
week we will be forced to transfer the
main part of our work to Laurel If
the Hattiesburg people desire the Sal
walton Army to continue here we must
be supported, otherwise, beginning at
an early date, we will be forced to
spend the main part of our time in
Laurel, giving that city our time and
work, Laurel is giving us at present
almost as much money as Hattiesbure
and we have no corps there"

The weakest point of the French
defense appears to be between CUM

than 300 yards yesterday. Last night
the Germans renewed their attacks,
Paris admitting that the French were
forced to retire along the Bethincourt-

The German assaults were equally
as violent in the other sectors west
