CHARGES MADE
IN THE SENATE
Resolution. Presented to Probe
Lawson's Story of Cor
ruption
REFERS ALSO To A, B, PARKER

Washington, Jan. 5.-Upon recon-
Vening after the holiday recess the
senate plunged directly into the con-
flderation of the bill for the admis-
zion Of two states, TO be composed ~
Arizona and New Mexico and Okla
homa and Indian Territory. A motion
by Mr.. Beverage to take up the bill
prevailed by a two-thirds majority. Mr.
Hepburn, who renewed his effort 10
get up the pure food bill, voted with
the Democrats on one roll call but
with this exception the Republicans
voted solidly to proceed with the con-
sideration of the statehood bill and the
Democrats voted solidly against that
course.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, intro
duced resolution reciting some of the
assertions of Thomas W. Lawson and
Judge Alton B. Parker concerning
campaign contributions, and asking
the Judiciary committee to inquire into
The allegations.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, Thomas w. Lawson. a
prominent citizen Of Boston, Mass. and
a capitalist Of reputed large fortune.
IN a signed article published in Every
body's Magazine, a responsible and
widely circulated publication, has spe-
cihcally charged that he conspired with
certain other well-known capitalists to
raise a large corruption fund to be
uspd IN nror,ota tbo ofo,4;o- - a.
Republican candidates for president
and vice president in 1896, and that
they did raise $1,000 900 to be expend-
ed to turn at least five OF the doubt
full states;" and
Whereas. During the campaign of
1904 it was directly and emphatically
charged by Judge Alton B. Parker. a
prominent candidate for the office of
president and by other citizens OF great
prominence and high repute, belonging
to both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, as we'll as by many i'm
portant and responsible journals that
large sums Of money had been contrib
uted by, or extorted from numero
trusts and corporations to be used to
influence the election then ensuing for
president and vice president Of the
United States; and
Whereas, The president in his last
annual message sent to congress on
December 6, 1904. took official cog
nizance Of the growing tendency to
corrupt the electorate, and did in direct
terms recommend the enactment of a
law against bribery and corruption in
federal elections; therefore,
Resolved, That the judiciary COM
mittee of the senate be, and is hereby
empowered and directed 10
make inquiry into the matters stated
in the foregoing preamble, and also
into the subject Of the use
Of money in federal elections, so as to
as far as possible, the ex-
tent of the evil, and to report to the
senate at the first session of the 59th
by bill or otherwise the
legislation said committee may deem
to prevent or suppress brib-
cry and corruption in such elections.
Said committee may sit during the
vacation of the senate, and shall have
to send for persons and pa
pers, and to compel the attendance OF

600 for James Smith. Jr., for acting as

clared that the fee would not be in

EXTRA FREIGHT
 BADLY WRECKED Telescoping Eleven Cars Just Beyond High Bridge---No
 One Injured.

Sloan Springs, May 29. As extra freight No. 452 was pass ing Decatur, rounding the curve half a mile north of the station, the tender of the engine left the track, causing one of the most disastrous wrecks known on the K. c. s. road in a long time.
 The train was moving at a speed of about twenty miles an hour when it entered the cut, which is about thirty feet deep.
 The first eleven cars were completely telescoped and are a total loss, except perhaps some of the iron. There were four cars of lumber, one of potatoes, one of merchandise and five flat cars loaded with piling about 60 feet long. Some of the cars were turned squarely across the track, while others were crushed into and piled upon the others; the trucks buried in the track bod, and the entire number of cars wrecked in the most com plete sense of the term.
 The train was in charge of Conductor Fristo, Engineer Guth- redge and Fireman Matney, all of whom escaped uninjured.
 At the point where the wreck occurred a high bridge spans the deep cut for the public travel, and the wrecked portion of the train was just far enough north to miss this viaduct.

ATTACK IS MADE ON
OFFICER BY NEGRO.
Was Assaulted on Railroad
Track.
WAS UNDER ARREST
When He Turned Suddenly on Officer
Smith, Knocked Him Down and Dis
armed Him - Fearful Struggle in
Railway Cut.

A dastardly assault upon a special
officer by negro prisoner was made
here yesterday, resulting in the escape
of the negro after he had knocked the
officer down, bruising him to a consid-
cradle estent and disarming him of
his pistol
The desperate struggle between the
officer and his burly prisoner took place
on the Seaboard tracks, in the deep cut
under the Barlow street bridge, yester-
day morning,
There is scarcely a more secluded
spot in the city, or one better suited
for such assaults.
Yesterday Special Office W. II Smith
of Macon, in the employ of the Central
Railway, went out to the Seaboard
shops here to arrest negro, Neal Will
liams, wanted upon the charge of break
ing into Central freight car in the
yards here few nights since.
The car was thus burglarized and a
quantity of goods stolen.
Officer Smith got his prisoner all
right and started for the city with him,
walking along the railroad tracks from
the shops instead of coming by way of
Elm avenue
While passing through the long,
deep cut, and just beneath the street
bridge, the prisoner suddenly turned
upon the officer and grappled with him
In the desperate struggle Williams
managed to get hold of the officer 8
revolver and took it away.
Thus disarmed, the officer could
make no further effort to bring in his
prisoner, and Williams quickly burned
the wind in the direction of Muckalee
swamp mile away,
Officer Smith was considerably bruis-
ed by falling against an abutment o
the bridge, although his injuries are
not serious 1t is understood that he
will pay reward of $25 for the cap
ture of his prisoner, Williams, .togeth-
or with the revolver.
Williams lives in Amerlcus and is
well known about town.

HEAVY SHORTAGE IN RECEIPTS
AmerIcus is 2 .2oS saIas Behind on
Wagon Cotton.

That Americas is away behind in
cotton receipts is shown by COMPARE
son of figures with receipts at this
time last season. Up to and including
Nov. Goth, 1904, Americus warehouses
had received total of SO, 755 bales cot.
ton, as against 90, $50 bales this season
up to and including Goth, inst, thus
showing shortage this season of z, POS
bales. This Is the actual receipts of
the town, and is wagon cotton exclu-
sively, no compress shipments beipg
included. Up to December 1st, last
season, Americas warehouses had re-
ceived IS, 004 bales, while for the en-
tire season the total here was about
42,U00 wagon bales. With difference
of 1905 bales already, the crop this
season will be fully 10000 bales below
last seas on's total and may even exceed
that ee,imate as the crop here is gath
cred and very generally marketed. On
this date last year middling cotton
sold in Americus at cents, as against
II cents yesterday.
