Heavy Damage Suit.

Union City, Tenn, June A.
Chester Sims, young man of
Weakley County, to-day brought
suit against Peter Bradshaw for
$4,000 damages for false imprlson-
ment. Sims was working for Brad
shaw last winter on his farm near
Elbridge, in the lower part of the
county. Sims understood that he
was to get SIS per month when the
spring work began. He borrowed
$3.50 from his employer to 60 to
Weakley County to see his sick
father and to help him. Bradshaw
paid Sims SIP per month for the
time he was with him, and when
Sims was informed by Bradshaw
that he would not pay him SIS
month Sims would not return from
Weakley County to work for him.
Bradshaw had Sims arrested and
brought here and put in Jail. Judge
Swiggart heard the case on a writ
of habeas corpus and gave Sims
his freedom and taxed Bradshaw
with the costs. The plaintiff is
represented by Hon. Joe E, Jones,
Dresden, and ]. L. Mosier, of this
city.-Jonas tuition.

YER SUICIDES.
Albert Marks Fires Bullet into his
Brain Saturday Morning.


Brain Saturday Morning.
A suicide that was at once shock
ing and dumbfounding took place
in this city Saturday morning
when Albert ID. Marks, one of the
leading attorneys of the Nashville
bar, sent his soul into eternity by
putting a bullet through his brain.
The dreadful deed was done at
1925 o'clock in the telegraph edi
tors room of The American, 10
Gated on the third floor of The
American building, and while
there was no one present in that
immediate department, the unfor-
tunate man was only separated by
thin partition from the local
rooms, where members OF The
Americans staff were at work, at
the time of the tragedy Members
of the editorial and reportorial
forces were the first to reach his
side and summoned physicians,
whose presence, however, were
useless, as the attorney died with
in twenty five minutes after the
shot was fired.
INEXPLICABLE ACT.
The details of the affair are
horrible to ponder over and are
calculated to make one stand in
awe at the strange and ineXplicable
behavior of man as we'll to wonder
at the mysterious ways of his
Maker. To the outside and I'M
initiated world Mr.. Marks was a
man whose life was attended by
the most prosperous conditions,
and when the news of the suicide
went ringing through the city, be-
inc carried on wave of feverish
excitement, the first question in
variabIy was, "What on earth
could have caused him to do such
a thing"
While apparently in good cir
the lawyer was in the
most pressing need of money and
this was evidenced by the filing Of
a blanket mortgage in the County +,
office on all of the
left to Mr.. Marks by his
deceased wife. Financial embar-
EASEMENT, therefore, in connection
with other elements probably
about a temporary de
of the mind and render
ID the attorney subject to violent
ind uncomfortable acts.
Mr.. Marks was a dcvout mem
Ter of the Catholic church. His
ceiling upon the subject of religion
vas very deep, at times almost ex-
sting the concern of his close
friends. One of the supposed
.auses of his suicide was brooding r
,ver love affair which could have t
10 elimination under the rules of |
he church. 1t is said that he was {
leeply attached to Mrs. Elliston, t
,ut their marriage was a thing {
under the rules of the
Roman church, as Mrs. EIIiston a
lad received a divorce from her fl
ormer husband. Z

On Monday the House passed
the anti anarchist bill and Tuesday
it defeated the Lacey bill for a
transfer of the care of the Forest
Reserves from the Department Of
the Interior to the Department of
Agriculture. Representative Can
non of Illinois was responsible for
the defeat of this bill. In a Wig
orous speech, so vigorous that be
removed his collar and cuffs to ia
cilitate his eloquence, he denounc-
ed the measure and incidentally
ridiculed scientific work generally,
He produced CONSERVATION among
the Republicans by the announce
ment that already the appropria-
tions for the fiscal year, beginning
July l, promise to exceed the es-
timated revenues for that year by
Sol, 000,00 and that without al
lowing anything for an isthmian
canal and other projected legisla-
ton. Mr.. Cannon's claim that the
results of the bill would be in
creased Nqual expense to the gov
ernE y + as ridiculous as it
was ihoSrge ?. The real animus
of the On ' fro lion to the bill was

only would the expense of caring
for the reserves be materially di-
minished, but it was the intention
of the President to extend the civ
il service classification to include
these employees, and the memb ers
realized that vote for the bill
would be a vote to deprive them
of large amount Of "spoils. !"
For weeks the members have been
deIuged with letters from their
appointee protesting against the
passage of the bill and many Re-
publicans admitted to me Tuesday
that the love of political patronage
defeated the bill. The President
was a warm advocate of the meas
ure, but it remains to be seen
whether he will have the courage
to apply the remedy to the present
conditions and Immediately extend

WASHINGTON LETTER.

w hlle the Republican SenatOrs
are quarreling over reciprocity Il
few who are interested in an 18th
Sian canal continue the debate In
the Senate chamber, but no gen
uine interest is manifested in the
subject except by those Senators
who have the project really at
heart, and the orators who declaim
on the merits OF the respective
routes do 50 to empty chairs. BY
unanimous consent Thursday, June
10, has been set for the final vote.
A number Of the Senators have
left Washington for their summer
vacations and others are making
preparations to depart, which
prove how little they are interest
ed in the remaining subjects for
Congressional action.
Cuban reciprocity promises to
be the rock which will inevitably
rend asunder Republican harmony
and leave a feeling of antagonism
between the rarity and the chief
executive. The beet sugar Sena-
tors still adhere to their position
and refuse to permit any measure,
granting reciprocity to Cuba at
the expense of the beet sugar
trust, to pass the Senate while Mr..
Roosevelt insists that he will veto
any measure which provides for a
rebate Of the duties. The testimo-
ny of Mr.. f. B. Thurber that he
had received 81, 800 from Mr.. HAY
>smeyer, president of the Sugar
Trust, nearly $4,000 from the War
Department and various sums
from other sources to circulate
reciprocity literature will prove a
serious obstacle to the efforts Of
the Administration.
A staggering blow was deliv
cred to Republican claims in re
gard to the pacifcation of the
Filipinos last week by Deacon"
Buencamiuo, so called because of
his activity IN connection with one
of the missionary societies now
, laboring in the islands. The
'"Deacon," who, by his own adj
mission, holds ''fat Office" in the
employ of the Philippine Commits
sion, was heralded as a typical
example Of the pacifed Filipino
and VIZ brought before the House
Committee on Insular Affairs to
cOnvj~ce the misguided Democrats
Of the entire untenableness Of
their views. However, while he
tried hard to testify as his employ
ers would have wished, he was
forced to admit that a majority of
the Fllipinos, himself included,
expected that they would, on the
complete termination of the insur
rection, be made a territory of the
United States and ultimately given
statehood and the full protection
of the constitution. Government
as a colony he characterized as
government of men" as compared
with government of law" as he
described government under the
