NOW IF YOU STEAL A CHICKEN.
It's a Felony in Missouri and the Law
Says Penitentiay.

jefferson City, Mo-, March 10
The senate bill to make chicken steal
ing a felony came up in the house
yesterday. Hays talked for the bill.
Lee, OF Mississippi, declared that the
bill proposed to take away the soon
stitutional rights of the COON" He
appealed to the house to treat the
negro we'll and was called upon to
explain where he had stood on the
Jim Crow" car bill. Lee said he had
voted for the bill and kept his record
straight, but he did not believe in be-
ing too severe on the negro. Shelby
OF Lafayette said he had better rea-
son than any other member Tor sup
porting the measure, He told OF the
murder of IA Lafayette man by two
chicken thieves and when questioned
about the affair by Shepherd said the
murderers received just fate at
the hands of my people"
Duncan said the farmers who live
close to small towns suffer at the
hands OF chicken thieves and such "a
law would protect them. Eversole
said it would be foolish to make it a
penitentiary oifense to steal a chick
en-. Any lawyer knew that it requir-
ed several months after an arrest to
get the man tried and in his opinion
the bill would simply mean addition
al costs for the state and little or no
better protection for the farmers

ton by the lower house of the legisla ture

1t was alleged that Mr.. Browne was to
receive $1,000 of this appropriation to
lobby the bill through, and being a
state official. his action was reprehensible
and should receive legislative investiSa-
ton.
The facts developed were that Mr..
Browne was consulted professionally ON
the right of the county to collect tax
to pay for the maintenance of an arnory,
and, as he advised that the county had no
such right under q recent decision of me
supreme court, to propose some method
by which the burden which the county
had taken upon itself in erecting Inc
armory could be borne by the state
After several consultat tons with the
county commissioners, MI. browne au-
yised that the only way to reach the de-
to authorize the state to purchase inc
property. Upon being asked what Would
be his charge to do this Mr.. Browne re-
piled 81 POO but he was offered IL per cent
Of the amount appropriated, PROPOSE
ton which was accepted.
It was understood in the contract De
tween Mr.. Browne and the board That. IN
addition to rendering opinions ne Wa
to draft a proper bill to be introduced IN
the legislature by one of the members
from Monroe county, and get up the data
necessary TO be presented to that BODY,
and show the necessity for the county
having ar armory, It's cost, etc; to make
arguments before the committees, II nee
essary; and to examine and report on the
title and present proof of its valldlty 10
the proper state authorities. to whom the
question Of title would be referred; and To
go into court with bill to remove any
cloud from the title and cure all detects
In tho same. if necessary
The report of the investigating commit
tee completely indicating Hon. Jefferson
B. Browne of alleged lobbying charges
was taken UP by the house of represen-
tatives tonight and adopted unanimously.

cause he was said not to be sound" on
the negro question. there was a hint
some weeks ago that Professor John
Bassett Moore, OF Columbia university,
who Is being pushed for the presidency
OF the University of virginia. would not
be in the running. Thomas Nelson Page,
the well-known writer. Is one of th< most
influential of the university's alumni He
said today that he knew of no opposition
In any quarter against Mr.. Moore for
his alleged Views on the negro question,
and that Virginia alumni both here and
in New York are WORKING nard for MS
election. The election occurs June 10 and
Mr.. Page is one of many who predicts
the choice OF Mr.. Moore.
John Bassett Moore Is today probably
the greatest living authority in America
or international la W. Time and again
the state department has looked to him
for counsel and advice since he left public
life to accept a professorship ~ Column
bia. He is the author of many we'll
known books on international law and
is himself a most attractive personality

Justification for the establishment

justification for the establishment Of
such service.
This condition of affairs is exceedingly
embarra ssing to Representative Bartlett
and his associates Of the house, who have
already selected persons expected to be
appointed to the rural deliveries ser
vice, during the coming month.
Will Cut Them Down.
Postmaster General Payne says that
instead of increasing the rural delivsry
service the possibilities are that it will
be materially curtailed in all directions.
Representative Bartlett had several COM
panions in disappointment at the
postoffice department today In Repre-
sentatives Livingston, of Georgia /;
Underwood and Richardson. of Ala
bama; Wadsworth, of New York, and
Representative Griggs, chairman of the
democratic congressional committee. All
Of these statesmen left Washington a
month ago with assurances from Machen
that a certain number of routes would
be established in their respective districts.
The resembling of these orders by Post
master General Payne may be easily
understood by statesmen interested, but
the latter will encounter the greatest
difficulty in making it clear to their po-
litica friends and supporters at home.
