Alaska. Behind this road are
the most prominent men in the

Central Railway up the wide
valley of the Susitna across a
low divide to the Tanana basin

Rampant is simple and inexpen-

NO FILIBUSTERING WILL BE
ALLOWED BY THE SPEAKER

Speaker Newton Morris, of the house of

day regarding filihustering, and in the
future it is very probable that none will be

On the vote to table the resolution Of

Hall, Of Bib. asked permission to explain
his vote Mr. Franklin, Of Washington.
objected. Speaker Morris put the ques-
ton to the house. sa
On this question Mr.. Franklin called for
the ayes and nays.
Speaker Morris promptly declined to put
the call, saying that at no time would he
permit a call for the ayes and nays on
subsidiary question, when the ayes and
hayes were being called on a main ques-
ton for the reason that there would be no
ending. The announcement was greeted
with great applause. Mr.. Franklin joining
in the applause. saying he was glad the
ruling had been made.
Last year the favorite method Of fill
clustering was to call for the ayes and
nays on a main question. then mem
Der would ask to explain his vote. There
would be objection. On the objection the
ayes and nays would be called. The roll
would be started again. and again a men,
Der would want to explain his vote and
the ayes and nays would be called again.
The ruling of Speaker Morris will
put an ending on all such proceedings
Speaker Morris has been warmly congrat-
ulated on his ruling.

CONFESSIONS MUST BE
MADE TO TWO PERSONS

]. d. Watson, Of McDuffy county one
OF the youngest members of the house of
representatives, and a son of the great
Georgia historian and lecturer, Hon.
Thomas Watson, will soon Introduce in
the house a bill which will require more
than one witness to n confession or to
an discriminating statement in a criminal
case.
This bin will have little bearing upon
criminal cases in the country courts. but
is especially directed at the courts in the
larger towns and cities throughout the
state.
The bill in substance provides that no
confession made to one man, without wit
nesses being presented can be taken in
a criminal case as evidence against man
on trial.
In speaking Of thebln this morning. Mr..
Watson said:
This bill. which 1 have found to be
heartily endorsed by attorneys throughout
the state, will have little effect in the
country courts, but will have direct bear
Ing upon the courts in the cities ana lar
ger towns in the state In some of the
courts Of this state an officer, an inter-
ested party in the conviction of the man
on trial, is allowed to go on the stand
and state that the prisoner has made
a confession or discriminating statement.
"And under the present state law. this
confession would be allowed to stand.
This is manifestly unjust, and the bill
which I wiil introduce will make 1t nee
essary for a confession. or discriminating
statement, to be made in the presence OF
two or more witnesses, who are disinter-
ested parties to the crime"

New Orleans Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 25-Liverpool furnish
ed no incentive in any direction today. Deliv-
cries were quite unchanged, though spots rose
points with sales Of 1000 bales. Gables reported
that continental spinners had contracted for
manufactured goods as far ahead as April and
while there is said to be no margin of profit at
existing quotations, they confidently expect
record crop, which will enable them to obtain
the necessary supply Of raw cotton much cheap
er later on. Trading here diminished consid-
erably in quantity, and even the usual Satur-
day covering was limited to small transactions.
The tone of prices held steady under the in
f1uence of cloudy and colder weather In the
central and western belt over Sunday, while
moderate receipts discouraged offerings. Clos
ing was 1 to 2 points lower than yesterday.
Fresh developments are now eagerly awaited ON
both sides Country advices indicate contin-
L,y.ce of light receipts during the coming week;
yet nobody is prepared to believe that any de-
crease in movement is due TO absolute exhaus-
ton on the contrary. many eyes are stu di-
rected toward the weather chart, and the fall
ure of killing frost TO occur within short space
of time Is quite certain to convince many OF
probability Of an increased yield. Aside from
this even the spot department will be closely
observed, as much will depend on the disposi-
ton manifested by the regular trade in effecting
purchases.

chemicals in bulk and to have free and
ninspected shipment of the same.
Also the following bills, which were
read for the first time and referred to
appropriate committees:
BY Mr.. Comos-To repeal section S97
OF volume of the code.
BY Mr. Davis-To amend paragraph 2,
section Il of the constitution relating
to the exemption of church property from
taxation.
Mr.. Davis followed up the introduce
ton Of his bill by making a motion which
was adopted, that a standing committee
be APPOINTED on constitutional amend
ments, to which this bin will be re-
fefTeu.
The senate then adjourned in executive
session for the purpose of having read
communication from the governor noti-
flying the senate of a number of appoint
ments made by him since the last session
OF the legislature. -...
