C. o. D. WHISKY CASES
 BEGIN IN JACKSON
Express Agent Testifies That He Was Allowed Fifty Gents on Every
 Gallon Sold.

Jackson Miss, January 17--(Special.) )- When Federal Judge Niles convened the special term of his court here today to try the c. O. D. whisky injunction cases he faced scores of the ablest attorneys in Mississippi, hundreds of prominent prohibitionists and many whisky men from other states, who are charged with shipping wet goods into this state illeg- ally.
 Judge Niles announced that the case of the Harvest King Distilling company of Kansas City would be taken first and c. l.. Anderson, attorney for that com pany read the bill of complaint in which he set forth the unlawfullness of ship ments into several towns, declaring them violations of interstate commerce laws, and that in some instances the liquors had been sold or destroyed. c. H. Alex ander read the answer, being attorney for the prohibitionlsts of Mississippi, decar ing that c. o. D. shipment was subter fuge to dodge the prohibition laws of the state: that there Is an unlawful com- bination between the liquor companies and American Express company; that com plainants have shipped many packages of goods into the state for sale and that such business is not protectd by interstate laws.
 Several witnesses were introduced to
  sissippi were bona fide sales, and that packages were not shipped to ficticious names. Abe and Dan Zanziger of Kansas City, managers of the Harvest King bus mess, told of their manner of doing busi- ness. Affidavits were read from other members of the firm, and their travelling men to show the business was legitimate. The defense opened with testimony by H. H. Brown. agent of the American Express company at Gallman, during which he told how the business was handled there by himself for several months, declaring the Harvest King company had allowed him 50 cents on every gallon of whisky sold
 They had frequently written him to de- stroy all letters and correspondence, as- surfing him his letters were all destroyed. The case will probably continue through tomorrow a great volume of testimony being expected and sensational develop ments are promised.

KILLERS ARE FREED
 OF ANY CONPLICITY
CORONER AT NEW HAVEN RE- TURNS VERDICT IN WHICH HE MAINTAINS EDWARDS CAME TO DEATH GY SUICIDE.

New Haven, Conn, January 17.-With the finding of suicide as the cause of death and without comment whatever upon the evidence taken at an inquest lasting nearly two weeks, Coroner Mix this afternoon closed the case of the mys- terious death of Charles Edwards at the Abagail Hitler homestead on the morning of January 3. This formal verdict was forecasted by preliminary one given last week. The finding Is accompanied by a digest of the evidence given by some of the principal witnesses with statement of fact by the coroner himself descriptive of his investigation into the movements of MT. Edwards and of the affairs of the Hitler family.
 The evidence shows that MT. Edwards was in poor health and was continually a sufferer from physical pain and was morbidly in fear of dying of apopleXy That he died of morphine poisoning ac- cording to the coroners statment was shown by the autopsy as the gunshot wound in the head was superficial and probably did not even daze him. The au- topsy showed that 1t was possible for the wound to have been self-inf1icted and close scrutiny of Mir. Edwards apparel the bed clothing and the interior of the house demonstrated beyond question that the hemorrhage from the wound was very slight.
 The coroner fixes the time that MT. Edwards shot himself while at the back door of the Hitler house at about o'clock on the morning of January 3. Coroner Mix completely exonerates A. Maxcy Hil- Ter and his brother Charles A. Hitler from having any connection with the death of Edwards. eF

CHAMBERLAIN IS
 HERO OF THE DAY
VICTORY IN BIRMINGHAM IS OVERWHELMING AND THE PRO- TEcTloNIsT COMES OUT WITH coLoRs FLYING.

London January 1.-The most promi- nent feature of todays election returns is the wholly unexpected stand made In Birmingham Not only were all of Joseph Cham berlain's seven candidate returned but MT. Chamberlain himself secured majority of 5000, while the majority of the others averaged 5000.
 Even allowing that the liberal candi- dates were not very strong as the seats were practically uncontested at the last general election, and though the liberal organization was not as good as in other parts of the country, the results at Birmingham are of the highest import ance. They prove the groundlessness or the liberal contention that this general election has killed the fiscal agitation for a generation to come. Besides showing the unabated confidence of Birmingham in Chamberlain, the results there go also to confirm what already has been no- ticed in isolated contests, that the candi- dates who openly professed protectionist leanings, had good support and in some cases were victorious.
 The outcome at Birmingham affords strong contrast. While MT. Balfour stands discounted as a leader with his support CTS all swallowed up, and himself angri- ly criticised from his own side' MT Cna1n- berlain issues from the contest with fly ing colors. His courage to large ex- tent justihes him to persevere in his agitation, and he is In a position to argue that it was MT. Balfour's timidity which lost the campaign.
 A considerable section of the union ists on the protectionst side, had pre- dicted some such result and it Is now hinted that the party must in future look toward Birmingham for hope and guidance.
 It Is too late for the results at Bir- mingham to have any great effect on the campaign as a whole.
 Many of todays polls will not be de- clared until tomorrow but those publish ed tonight show that the liberal tide still runs strong. London has gone dis tinctly liberal, no less than twelve seats showing notable gains While gains for the liberals today number twenty-two, the unonists have made only one solitary gain, Viseount Castelrelgh having wrest the seat from the~liberals at Maidstone. The members already elected are dis tributed as follows:
 Liberals. 167: unionists, 7S; laborites, S1; nationalists, 5.

WILL HAVE CONFERENCE.
General Belief Among Miners Is That
 Mitchell VIII Be Received.

Indianapolis Ind, January H.-It ia generally understood among the leaders of the miners organization now in con- vention here that arrangements are pro- gressing preliminary to a meeting of the anthracite miners representatives and op- orators of that district. The result, 1t is believed, will be a conference within the next month or immediately following the present convention.
 President Mitchell today read the state ment made to the Associated Press by Mir. E. B. Thomas, president of the Le- high Valley Railroad company. in which Mir. Thomas said the big anthracite op- orators had agreed to meet MT. Mitchell as the representative of the miners, as was done in 1902. After reading the state ment Mir. Mtchelle smiled and said: T ah in the same boat was before. can neither affirm nor deny that report"
 There are indications that the corre- spondence that Is now passing between hi mand the anthracite operators deals simply with the question of whether or not they will receive him as the repre- sentative of the union. It is believed that if this request is not granted, he, and the anthracite representatives will meet the operators simply as representatives of the miners.
