This necessitated permission from the city to build a bridge over Forest avenue, wher the road broadens into the Goethals bridge plaza.

W. 60-year-old resident of the rural section between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, was acquitted of an incest charge late yesterday ar-ternoon by a Jury that deliberated only 23 minutes. Dennison, gray-haired father of five children, did not have a witness other than him self to refute the testimony offered oy tne state in support of the charge against him. A 13-year-old daughter and an 18- year-old son also testified against their lather, but his wife. O.

W. Dennison, whom the defendant declared had turned against him and was seeking to oust him from his home, was barred by statute in giving testimony against her hus band and was not 'permitted to testify, although she was on hand as a witness for the prosecution. Dennison only defense was a straight-out denial and a declaration that he was "beinEr framed." The daughter, chief prosecuting witness, was pictured as incorrigible by Dennison. who said that he had prior to the filing of the charge against mm, threatened to have her placed in the reform school. Stll facng a charge of attempted incest, however, in connection with alleged Improper relations with his 13-year-old daughter.

Dennison was sent back to jail last night and was still being held today. Indications are that this charge may be passed to the files, court officials said. Conference of Mayors Called at Brookhaven BROOKHAVEN, June 18 Z. Jones, mayor of Brook- haven, is calling a conference of mayors in this city. Friday, to consider the matter of unified action of the cities represented in signing gas franchises.

Mayor Jones states that all the nearby cities along the I. C. line have been besieged with a flood of propositions for gas franchises. Many of these propositions, it is a well established fact, come from men who are anxious to tie up a few communities for.no other rea son than to make the ultimate dis tributor of the gas pay a fine sum for the privilege of entering that city when his line reaches that vicinity. On the other hand, several reliable companies are now In the field.

It is understood, and it is hoped that the meeting of the mayors will lay the groundwork for an agreement upon some special company whose proposition is attractive and to be relied upon. Standard and Gulf Companies Engage in Large Developments There NEW YORK, June 21 The Staten Island waterfront will be developed into an Important maritime center for storing and distributing petroleum products when the Standard Oil company of New York develops its plant at Kreischerville and the Gulf Refining company completes the plant which it has been build ing the past year, at Gulfport. Important progress has been made this month with plans for both de velopments. The Standard Oil company is pre paring to accommodate tankers from the Pacific coast, which will pump Its products through pipes in to huge, tanks for storage purposes. The Gulf company will combine storage and refining at Its plant and will carry on an extensive marine trade as well as by railroad, it was learned yesterday.

The Gulf property, consists of about 600 acres on which aobut 40 tanks have been erected, but plans calal for the erection of 100 tanks and the employment of about 5,000 men. The company now employs about 1,500 men and will add to its personnel with the additon of new tanks. At both the Standard and Gulf propertes development has been checked by 'the uncertanty of transportation. The Standard Oil engineers asked the Harbor line board last week to xtend the pierhead line further Into the Arthur Kill, which divides Staten Island and New Jersey at the point of its proposed development. The company plans to dig its own channel from the Arthur Kill to its proposed piers to furnish an entrance for its tankers.

Some objection rose, notably that of Dock Commissioner Michael Cos-grove, and the plans of the company have been temporarily checked until the Harbor line board Gall Stone Colic Don't teratc Vou tnak a bad condition worse.

That was the express belief Wednesday of Lieutenant George Rowan, who returned Tuesday to Lowndes county after spending mors than 18 months with the U. S. Marines In Nicaragua. Rowan, fresh from banana land, reported the tropical republic is resting easily between revolutions and that bandits are as scarce as coonsMn coats in Nicaragua. "Banditry is practically eliminated," Rowan said.

"Conditions in Nicaragua are very good and the marines stationed there are merely engaged in police work helping the Guardia National, or national policemen, keep an eye on speeders, double-parkers, and other minor offenders." Lieut. Rowan, accompanied by his wife and daughter, Eloise, are to go to Portland, where he will be In charge of the Marine recruiting headquarters there. Mrs. Rowan Is the daughter of J. W.

Hal-bert, of near Columbus. JJeut. Rowan enlisted In the Marines during the World war. He was twice wounded and fought in the battles of the Meuse. Argonne, St.

Mihlei and Chateau-Thierry. At present Rowan said there are only 1.000 Marines In Nicaragua. He said although finances are slightly unsettled, considerable improvement has been achieved In the past few months by marine engineers who are supervising construction of highways and railroads. 8 Sixty-five miles of railway extensions to be constructed la Alberta, Canad-i, win cost $2,350,000. Plans are being formulated to develop water power on the River Negro In Uruguay.

The story came to light Monday afternoon on receipt of Mrs, Maggie Bratton of this city of a teleeram from Deputy Sheriff Phillip Cutler of Waterleit, Michi gan which carried the following "A note contained in a bottle was recently picked up on the shore of Lake Michigan signed by Marion Bratton requesting that word be sent to Mrs. Maggie Brat ton or Mrs. Sallie Rowland of Blue Springs which says. 'I am in Lake Michigan." "If this note means anything to you will you kindly write Phillip Cutler, Watervleit, Michigan." An interview with Mrs.

Bratton revealed her story of the disap pearance four years ago of her husband who left i their home' in Birmingham saying that he would return Immediately. After a time Mrs. Bratton moved back to Tupelo where her fath er W. Bryant, resides. No clue of any nature was found 'of -the miss ing husband until three weeks ago when he was located in Hope, Arkansas.

Mrs. Bratton secured a car and went immediately to Hope to find that Mr. Bratton had left that city four days before. The wife returned to her home with little hope of hearing again. Mr.

and Mrs. Bratton are parents of seven children, the oldest a boy of eighteen now and an employee of the Tupelo Cotton Mills. Mrs. Bratton is grief-stricken over what she believes is her husband's death at his own hands. Sheriff Trapp dispatched a message immediately upon notification of Mrs.
