HAD A sPAsM OF GENEROSITY.
Amusing Testimony of sti1lson Hutchin
Before the Pan Electric.

Amusing Testimony of sti1Ison Hutchins
Before the Pan Electric.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 12-Before the
committee investigating the Pan-Electric
matter Friday, Sillson Hutchins, proprietor
of the Washington Post was examined
Mr.. Hutchins was before the committee but
short time. His testimony was important,
but while he remained he made it lively for
the committee and every body. else. He had
offered to relieve Senator Vest of his bad in
vestment in Pan-Electric stock by taking it
from him at cost price-S1, 900 for 100
shares. This was a mere spasm M generos-
ity on Hutchins part prompted by old
friendship and desire to relieve the sena-
tor of any embarrassment growing out of
newspaper clamor about bis owning Pan
Electric stock. When he first offered to
take the stock his friend the Missouri sena-
tor, was inclined to dispose of it, but subse
quently he sent the witness note in which
he said the newspaper clamor was unjust,
and that in spite of it he wouldn't sell
legitimately, at any price. This
was as near as the witness
ever came to owning Pan-Electric stock.
DR.. Rogers had once written to the wit
ness and offered him considerable block of
Pan Electric stock-$10,000 worth-if he
would publish some of Rogers poetry.
Mr.. Ranney asked Mr.. Hutchins is he had
preserved that letter and could produce it.
Mr. Hutchins said, no he could not He
received SO many letters from "cranks" that
he did not keep them.
Mr.. Ranney asked il tue Post hadn't pub
iished an editorial advising the attorney
general about bringing a government suit
against the Bell company.
Mr.. Hutchins replied that quite likely it
had, as the Post was in the habit of giving
the attorney general and other officers OF
the government good deal of advice
When dressed by Ranney to know who had
written this particular editorial, Mr..
Hutchins replied that there were lawyers on
the staff, "sort of decayed lawy ers," ]" but still
competent to give advise to government
officials. t--e
Solicitor, Goode testified as to the afiday-
its upon which he based the suit ordered at
Memphis Mr. Ranney was questioning the
solicitor general in regard to the power of
the department of justice to bring suits to
cancel patents when the latter remarked
that he expected to argue the case at Col
umbus and "then," he said to Mr. Ranney, !
"if you are there, when the Co.umbus bill
Is demurred to- viii take pleasure in argu-
ing the matter with you"

WASHINGTON Cry, April l2.-It is un-
derstood that Chaplain Milburn, of the
house, is dissatisfied with the notoriety given
him by the publication of his prayers in
presence of the house, but he continues to
give them q sensational flavor that causes
every ear to be turned toward him and
many more seats to be filed at prayer time
than formerly. Friday he referred to shams
and frauds in manufactures and watered
stocks, and smile ran around among those
whose attention has recently BEEN specially
called to the character and extent of the
manufacture of fraudulent butter. The
members who want to tax oleomargarine
and butterine say they are all right now
that the prayers and influence Of the chap
lain are enlisted on their side

DO AS YOU'RE DONE BY.
A RULE OF ACTION PROPOSED BY
SENATOR FRYE

Which TIo Thinks win Help Solve the
Fisheries Problem Amusement for
Electric lnvestiSators-NI -NIilburn's Pray
ers Again-A Slant at Bogus Butter.
WASHINGTON Cry, April 12.-Senator
Frye elucidated the fisheries question
to thesenato Friday in support
of his resolution declaring Rgainstr
the appointment of commission to
negotiate with Canada. He gave history
of the troubles previous to the
negotiation of the Washington treaty and
concerning the advantages of that treaty,
he said: First-With regard to wood
water and shelter but we had those before
and now too, under the treaty Of ISIS
Second-Of commercial privileges, none,
under thetreauy. Third-The right to take
fish within the three milo limit What
has this been worth to us! The
right to take bait won have been of value;
but the moment we undertook to avail our
selves of it we found cables cut, nets de-
stroyed; all manner of damages inflicted.
As to our rights in Canadian waters, Frye
contended that commercial privileges would
be convenient, and in his opinion we were
entitled to them regardless of the abroSa-
VI GuS tASdIN " W SSSALAtAeS tOAAS S'SA -
the treaty Of 1918 is now revived
In conclusion he said the republic should
insist upon the Samo commercial privileges
in the ports and harbors of the Dominion
of Canada as she enjoys in ours. If these
are not acceded, then congress should
promptly resort to retaliatory legislation,
and our government send into those waters
armed cruisers, not to perpetrate any
wrongs upon or do any injustice to our
neighborS, but to protect our own citizens
from outrage.
While delivering his remarks Frye was
asked by salisbury whether friendly rela-
tions could be maintained with the British
colonies without the appointment Of COM
mission to consider and settle these fishery
questions
Frye replied: Beyond any manner of
question, when this country puts herself
even into decent position in regard to
these matters If this country permits Great
Britain and Canada by outrages and viola
tion of all lights of hospitality to drive us
into the surrender of our markets, why, we
neve" can have peace with Canada; but, il
Canada understood that when she closes her
ports, as Sic is doing to-day, the ports of
the United States are to be closed, too, you
will have NJ trouble with Canada-not the
slightest.

tion Supplication.


WASHINGTON CITY, April 11-Harrison
presented in the senate Saturday a petition
from the Knights of Labor of Fort Wayne,
Ind, praying for the speedy passage of the

house. In presenting the petition, Harrison
said the startling occurrences in the west
during the past few days were turning the
attention OF lovers of good order to the
interest OF the working classes, as well as
those of employers of labor. Arbitration he
thought was the only course open for the
speedy and just settlement of such disputes
Arbitration must precede strikes and i'm
piled calnne55 that could not exist when
once a contest had been inaugurated and
the passions of men were fully aroused.
The petitions We're laid ON the table.

I Story About Armour.

Mr.. Philip ID, Armour is a very gener-
Gus man. A clergyman in whom he
had confidence one day asked him for
$50 to relieve a poor woman whose new
born baby was lying naked in her one
room, where there was neither fire nor
food. The money was at once handed
to the parSon, who aftorward returned
it with note saying that he had dis
covered that the woman was Of lire
pute and the child was the result Of sin." "
Mr.. Armour at once sent word to Mrs.
Armour, who gave the starving mother
and child ample assistance, while her
husband, stamping with rage, shouted
to his clerk: ''If that id scoundrel

The American Boys Opinion.

There was Sunday-school teacher,
and her class was composed of a 9oodly
number of average small boys. The
other Sunday the lesson was upon the
Babylonian captivity, and the teacher
had done her best in preparing the les
son so as to attract and hold their atten-
ton. This is not always an easy matter
in some of the Old Testament historical
lessons, and so the teachers energies
were directed toward making the story
life-like and realistic to her young pu-
pills. ''NoW, just suppose. boys she
began, that some great army was to
como here and take fathers and mothers
and you yourselves prisoners, and carry
you off to a strange land and make you
work rs slaves, and try to make you be-
lieye in their religion instead of their
own" etc, etc. As her vivid magma
ton enlarged up0n.the picture she was
pleased to notice that the boys looked
interested and thoughtful, and that sun
dry mischieyous llicIlings and pinchings
had ceased; but her satisfaction quickly
ended as one patriotic urchin, amid the
smiles of his comrades, exclaimed:
''Yessum; 'tWould be kinder rough; but
there amt nation on earth that's big
enough to do it.''-BoSto31 IrGccjjcr.

A Good Grand Jury After Recreant

The following extract taken from
the Copiah grand jury shows where
the fault generally lies when "Prohi-
b:uon don't prohibit -:
We have been in session eleven
days and have examined 22S wit
nesscs aud have returned 4j bills of
indictment, 2 of which have been
for murder, one for rape, - for
violation of the liquor law, and the
remainder for minor offences. So
far as we are advised, the liquor law
has been generally observed, with
few exceptions, in all parts Of the
county, except here at Hazlehurst.
We regret to say that few men
seem to have bid the law and the
public authorities defiance and en-
gagged openly in the sale of whisky
for the past several months within
the town of Hazlehurst, and in many
instances these violations of law
were known to some of our public
officers. Every one of these officers,
for failure to prosecute these law
breakers, is liable to indictment and
removal from office under section
2756, but they have all so stoutly
protested their ignorance of The
statute which requires all civil and
peace officers to report any person
committing an Offense against the
laws of the State committed in their
view, or of which they have any
knowledge or notice, We have con
