PRE-WAR FREIGHT

Washington, Nov. 18.-Holding
that the authority of the Railr1: d
Administration over rates, schedules
and classification was necessary to CE-
able it to promptly meet operating
emergencies arising during the exist
ing period of heavy traffic. President
Wilson today vetoed the Senate bill
restoring the pre-war rate-making
powers Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Because of the short time interven-
ing before the roads are returned to
private operation on January /, lead
ers in the Senate and. House were
agreed that no effort would be made
to pass the measure over the veto. Re-
publican Leader Mondell said flatly
that he never approved the bill and
consequently was in accord with the
Presidents veto.
The Presidents message disapprov-
ing the bill of which Senator Cum
Minis, Republican, Iowa, was the au-
thor, was transmitted to the Senate
but because of the cloture on the
peace treaty, it was not formally
presented.

MURDER CASE SET
FOR TOMORROW
Indications Are That Thames
Trial Will Attract Large
Crowd When Called.

All indications point to the fact
that much interest is being felt in the
outcome of the Thames trial, and a
large crowd will be in the city on
Thursday morning at the open
next Thursday morning at the open
ing of the Circuit Court. 1t appears
that the ladies are keenly interested
in the case, and many have signined
their intention to attend. A special
venire of sixty men has been drawn
and summoned, from which an effort
will be made to secure jury.
1t is understood that the father of
the dead woman has employed coun-
sci to assist District Attorney Hugh
v. Wall in the prosecution of the
case. All witnesses upon the part of
the state have been placed under
their own recognizance in the sum of
500 each for their attendance next
Thursday.
Thames is in Jail in Brookhaven
and appears to be in good spirits
and does not seem to fear the trying
ordeal through which he will have
to pass in the event that the case
goes to trial. Sentiment in the coun-
ty is divided as to the guilt or in
nocence of the defendant, and as a
great deal of publicity has been CIV
en- to the case through the press, it
may be possible that the venire sum-
moned upon the case will be exhaus-
ted without securing jury of twelve
men acceptable to both sides.
Much evidence brought out before
the grand jury has not been divulged
and will not be known until the wit
nesses are examined in open court at
the trial. Both sides are busy at
work upon the case and are keeping
quiet as to their findings.

GUARDS ASSAILANT
FOUND IN HOSPITAL
Mississippi Deputy Takes Him
to Seek Companions Hiding
Place.

Jesse Jenkins, negro convict, who
took part in the fatal wounding of
John Lynch, convict guard on the
Kinds county (Mississippi) prison
farm, on the night of August 25, and
who with Will Watson, another ne
gro convict, is charged with the kill
ing of two negroes since his escape,
was captured Saturday in' New Or
leans.
Deputy Sheriff Biggs, of Jackson,
Miss, went to New Orleans Saturday
morning and with Detectives Hem
ard and Marullo found Jenkins in
the Charity Hospital. Jenkins and
Watson were both shot and wounded
by the posse of 1000 citizens who
hunted them following the attack on
the prison guard, and Jenkins was in
the hospital for treatment of his
wounds when arrested. He had been
in the hospital since Wednesday.
Watson, too, it was said, had been
at Charity Hospital for treatment,
but had left before the authorities
arrived. jenkins is said to have told
the officers of Watson's hiding place
and Saturday afternoon Deputy Sher-
iff Biggs borrowed a pair of hand
cuffs, and took Jenkins from the Pa
rish Prison. He planned to take
Jenkins to the hiding place of Wat
son and have him identify the other
negro. If the negro he was going
after proves to be Watson, Biggs
said, he will bring both men back to
the Orleans Parish Prison. If he does
not, then Biggs announced he would
take Jenkins direct to Jackson. Up
to late hour Biggs had not return
ed to the Parish Prison and prison
officials believe he has not yet sue
ceeded in capturing the other negro.
Lynch, the prison guard attacked,
died Wednesday after much suffer-
ing. He was overpowered by the two
negro men and two women, since
captured, placed in cage and shot.
Posses composed of upward of 1000
citizens hunted the negroes for more
than week after their escape. They
were lost somewhere in Simpson
county, and it is believed here that
Watson will be found there. Jenkins
and Watson were both wounded by
the posse.
