JACKSON SMITH CONTEST.

The taking of testimony in the Jackson.
Smith congressional contested election case
was begun Monday afternoon at Princess
Anne before John B Robins, an examiner
In chancery. Tue examination was con.
Quoted by Mr.. John @. Rose, of Baltimore,
for the contestant and Hon. Alonzo L. Miles,
of Baltimore, for the contestee. The wit
nesses examined were Lafayette RuArk and
Purnell Horsey, the Republican and Demo.
cratic members, respectively, Of the Board
of Election Supervisors OF Somerset county,
and William S. McMAster, secretary 10 the
board.
The contestant sought to prove by the
Republican supervisor that the form add
arrangement OF the official ballot and the
printing thereof were all done by the Dem
ocratc supervisors, without the knowledge
Of the Republican member, and that the
style and appearance Of the ballots were IN.
fair to the contestant and his party.
Upon cross examination 1t was brought
out that the Republican member of the board
had Endorsed letter written by the Board
Of Supervisors Of Somerset county to the
Secretary Of State, in which it was stated
that they had heard no complaint from any
one about the form OF the ballot and that
the Democrats and Republicans alike con-
sidered 1t a fair ballot under the law.
The minutes of the proceedings Of the
Board Of Supervisors were pro Iuced, from
which it appeared that Mr.. Ruark intro
duced a resolution authorizing the secretary
and counsel to the board TO superintend the
printing OF all matter pertaining TO the
election.

SIMPERS CONEESSES

In the last two issues of the SENTINEL
have been given the facts as they developed
connecting one John Shippers, horse thief,
with the murder of Mr.. Albert Constable, q
prominent lawyer and politician, in Cecil
county, Md. Monday last Shippers made
confession In the Maryland penitentiary,
where he is under q ten years sentence, oil
the murder as follows:
"The following confession was made un-
der no threats, neither was any promise
made TO me whatever as TO immunity from
punishment or tightening Of sentence.
II was in Elkton after horse when the
murder OF Mr.. Constable took place. Mr..

him TO throw his watch along with it, and be
did; then he commenced to groan, and l
asked him where be was shot, and be said

The probabilities are that Shippers will be
taken TO Elkton under strong guard Of
deputies OF the penitentiary and there ar
raigned before the grand jury and indicted.
He will then be returned TO the penitentiary
or to the Eikton Jail, where he will remain
until his trial. In the event Of his convic

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

The United States Senate on Tuesday
passed the joint Statehood bill admitting the
State Of Oklahoma, TO be compose of Okla.

New Mexico, with Arizona eliminated.
The Statehood advocates, though rejoicing
in their Senate triumph, face new trlbula
tons. 1t is now problem how they can
save their bill from pigeon hole In the
House. As II carries an appropriation, In.
serted In the Senate, the bill will au,omati.
cally go TO the Territories COMMITTEES for
consideration and report before the House
can send it to conference or vote to concur
In the Senate amendments.
Parliamentary advantage in the House
rests with The advocates Of Joint Statehood
for all four Territories and against those
who would like single Statehood for New
Mexico, just as the Senate provided The
popular majority 10 the House is undoubt

Republicans, it lie claimed, are ready and
willing to join with the entire Democratic
minority to agree to all the Senate provis-

they will ever have chance to record their

the Senate bill will be allowed to rest in

pany, one Of the concerns mentioned
as defendants in the application for
an injunction against the General Pa
per company, ct al, by the attorney
general in the United States district
court at St. Paul, said yesterday: THE
General Paper company, OF Chicago,
was organized as selling agency for
such paper companies as wished to
toin. but It was not an illegal combi'
nation or trust" He said 1t was true
that the price Of paper had gone up
but that the advance was due TO
natural causes, such as an advance OF
50 per cent. in the price of pulp wood,
the increase in the price of fuel, labor
and, in fact, everything consumed In
the manufacture OF paper. He stated
further that those back OF the suit
based their figures on the rise In the
price Of paper on the price made to
consumers, when paper was sold at q
loss by paper manufacturers. Mr..
Davis said there were number OF
large paper manufacturers outside OF
the General Paper company, therefore
the statement that the organization
has destroyed competition was not
true,
1--WE find competition enough" said
he, land the price of paper Is largely
controlled by competition. The organ
ization of the General Paper company
was more matter Of convenience than
anything else, for by selling the manu-
featured product through the General
Paper company the manufacturer 10
enabled to give his entire time to the
making Of the product"
