lowing report to the circuit court:
To the Hon. f. O. Sykes, Presiding
Judge:
We, the Grand Jury, empannel-
ed for the March term 1906 Of the
circuit court of Monroe county
Mississippi, beg leave to make this,
our final report:
We have been in session six days
have examined 100 witnesses and
have returned into court 10 bills OF
Indictment.
Trough committees, we have had
examined the poor house of this
county and find that the inmates
are being properly taken care of,
that the keeper of said poor house
is complying with his duties in re-
gard to said unfortunates. In this
connection we recommend that a
more suitable place be secured for
keeping the paupers, this poor
house a. now located being inacces-
sible and too far from the towns OF
our county and the lands upon
which the poor house is situated is
not as good as we should have. We
suggest that good farm nearer
Aberdeen or Amory be secured by
the proper authorities, so that these
poor people can be visited frequent
~ by the charitably inclined people
OF our towns.
We have, in a body, examined
the county Jail and End the same tc

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-Echoes Of yes
terdays developments in the political
situation in New York state were heard
on every side today in the comments of
political leaders on the Richard Croker
interview and the speech of Secretary
of State Root at Utica last night.
Fresh interest was aroused by the
publication of a letter from William j.
Bryan to Bird S. Coler, borough presi-
dc; of Brooklyn, in which the writer
expressed the hope that all Democrats
would support William r. Hearst for
governor
These things and the further fact
that both Charles e. Hughes and will
liam r. Hearst. the candidates for gov
ernor on the Republican and Democrat
Independence league tickets, respec-
lively, were once more onSthe stubborn
ly contested ground of the city of
Greater New York brought the speciai
interest to a fever pitch.
Tonight Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Hearst
gave their attention to the voters of
Kings and Queens counties. both maxi
ing whirlwind dashes from place to
place in order to carry out the details
OF the long program mapped out for
them by their respective campaign
management. Lar Hearst was slated
to speak at thirteen different meetings
In Brooklyn. Long Island City and
Queens county, while Mr.. Hughes night
campaign called for equally strenuous
work.
Hughes Is Confident
Reviewing his upstate campaign to-
night, Mr.. Hughes expressed satisfac-
tion at the prospects of Republican sue

with the hearty support of the Repub-
lican organization throughout the
state"
He added that 1.-The support of old

MAY ENFORCE
SIGNATURE
LAW

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. a.
An almost forgotten section of
the penal code, known as the
Signature Law" which provides
that all newspaper articles tend
ing in any way to impeach the
honesty or integrity of any per-
son must be published with the
writer's signature thereto, has
been revived by the filing today
of two suits for $1,000 each against
r. A. Crothers and Fremont Old
er, publisher and managing editor
respectively of the Bulletin.
The suits were filed by Ber-
tram M. Leadly and are based
upon editorials published in the
Bulletin on October and g.
The editorial of October S, on
which Abraham Ruef has already
caused proceedings to be COM
menced against R. A. Crothers
for criminal libel, connects Reuf
with alleged grating in the
acquisition of a municipal water
supply and also mentions the
name of Will S. Tevis, president
of the Bay Cities Water company.
The article of October 9 is head
ed "Boodlers Cannot Hide Behind
the Shield of Abuse"
Section 25o of the penal code,
passed by the Legislature in, 1899,
provides that all articles in which
any dishonest acts are attributed
to any person, or in which any
suggestion is made which might
be injurious to character must,
when published in a newspaper,
bear the signature of the author.
A failure to do this, according
to the law, is subject to a forfeit
or penalty of $1,000 for each such
article, which may be sued for and
recovered through civil action by
anyone who wishes to bring such
action regardless of personal con-
nection with the case.
If the forfeit is recovered the
plaintiff retains half and is to pay
the other half into the state
treasury.

BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The United
States now holds the record of far
thest north" 81 degrees, minutes.
This feat was accomplished by Com
mander Robert e. Peary of the United
States navy.
This intrepid Arctic explorer failed
to reach the pole as he had confidently
hoped to do with his specially con-
structed vessel, the Roosevelt. but he
penetrated nearer to the pole than the
Duke of Abruzzfs expedition, which
had held the Arctic record, So degrees,
"a minutes.
What Connrnander Peary did and his
expefxsnces during the past year in
the frozen north are being carefully
but certainly vividly summarized in
a communication received tonight by
Herbert L, Bridgeman, secretary of
the Peary Arctic club. This commun-
ication follows:
"Hopedale, Labrador, via Twillin-
gate, N. f.. Nov. 2.

(Signed) "PEARY."
After furnishing to the Associated
Press the contents of Commander
Peary's report, Mr.. Bridgeman said
that the receipt of any news from the
explorer now was quite a surprise to
him because he had supposed it had
become too late in the season for
Commander Peary to send news of
his venture.
There was little doubt, he said, that
Commander Peary was coming home.
This seems to be borne out by the
routing of the dispatch. Hopedale, or
Hoffenthal, is a Moravian mission
station on the east coast of Labrador.
Twillingate is port on the east coast
of Newfoundland.
Mr.. Bridgeman said the message
was probably dated by Commander
Peary from Hopedale to the most ac-
cessible cable point.

Arthur c. Harper was the choice for
mayor of nearly the entire number of
Democratic delegates present, only one
name, that of o. E. Parish, being pro-
posed in opposition to him. Mr.. Parish
retired from the race before more than
three-quarters of the votes of the dele
gates were counted, it being plain that
the count would show up more than
five to one against him.
The afternoon session of the conVen-
tion was called to order at o'clock by
former State Senator r. F. Del Vale,
who had been selected at the morning
session to act as chairman. The first
work taken up was the reports of the
committees on credentials and on or
ganization. The first recommends
tion in the report of the former COM
mittee was that A. l.. APPEL be unseat-
ed, as it was asserted that he was not
Democrat. APPEL took the floor and
maintained his right to the seat. al
thoungh he admitted having been iden-
titled with the Independence league.
Attorney Earl Rogers then arose and
asked APPEL whether he was support
ing Bell or Langdon for governor, re-
ceiving the reply from APPEL that he
was supporting Langdon. The motion
out any further discussion.
Recommendation Tabled
A communication from the non-par-
tisan city central committee, asking the
convention to give consideration to the
men nominated for office on It's ticket,
was then read and laid on the table.
The real work of the convention. that
of nominating men for the different city
tolr ha A,.cf
nomination was for the Office of may
or, and in stirring speech Isadore
Dockweiler placed the name of A. c.
Harper before the convention.
"Mr. Harper Is a man who has been
closely identified with the interests of
this city for many years." he said,
"and his integrity, honesty and ability
have never been doubted. He is q
business man, and one of the best and
as such is well fitted for the Office of
mayor"
Samuel Chappell placed the name of
o. e. Parish before the convention and
the nominations were closed. James
Hawley jr.. who was acting as secre-
tary, called the roll of delegates, but
before the Fifth ward was reached it
was seen that Parish was swamped
under the number of votes which had
been cast for Harper and Mr.. Camp
bell I'm his name then offered to with
draw i'm favor of Mr.. Harper and moved
that the nomination be made unani-
nous.
This action brought forth repeated
cheers from the delegates, and amidst
cries of Harper, Harper" the victor
and the defeated nominee were es-
corted to the platform. In response to
many cries for a speech Mr.. Harper
then said;
Says Democrats viii Win
IT scarcely know how to thank you
for the honor you have conferred upon
me, but / can assure you that the DEM
ocratic ticket is bound to win I'm this
campaign. There is no show for us
to lose, and when election day comes
victory will be with us at the polls as
though II had been swept there by a
whirlwind."
The name of Leslie Hewitt was pre-
sented by Judge Trask for the office
OF city attorney, who In a glowing
speech paid many compliments to the
young lawyer. Earl Rogers placed
the name of James Scarborough before
the convention. stating that he was pro-
