Popular In Columbus.

Columbus, Miss, January 20-tSpecial)
The many friends and admirers of Claude
Banks Mayo, the Columbus man at An
napolis, who was arrested yesterday on
the charge of hazing and Ave charges
placed against him, learn of his present
misfortune with sincere regret
Claude Is a son of Maj. John p Mayo.
one of this city's most prominent and
well to do citizens. He is a nephew of
Caswell A. Mayo of New York, editor
of the New York Pharmaceutical Journal,
and prominent writer ofsthe metropolis.
His grandfather was DIR. Thomas Mayo.
one of Columbus pioneer Settlers. Social
ly the family is exceptionally prominent
throughout the south. Claude is quite pop
ular here where he has always lived and
the outcome of his case is watched with
keenest interest. He made a splendid
record here during his career at the city
schools and always was rated as one of
the heads of his class.
At the age of 10 he entered the Mis-
sissippi Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege at Starkville where he remained for
nearly three years. When In the senior
class there, Senator Monroe of Mississippi
extended him the naval appointment. This
honor came entirely unsolicited and was
given Claude on account of the brilliant
record he made at every department He
entered a training school for his new
work and completed in one month a course
which usually required the work of from
six to ten months.
On his entrance to Annapolis he won
the distinction of being one of four out
of class of fifty to successfully pass in
every entrance examination study. Claude
has never failed to pass with good credit
able standing every examination he has
taken at Annapolis and has never taken
any examination second time The fact
stated in the dispatches from Annapolis
today that he was detained at Annapolis
last summer and not allowed his regular
leave OF absence because of failure to
pass an examination there. is practically
denied by parties here who have seen or
known about his reports in all studies.
His failure to come home last summer is
due to a. general order issued by the
naval academy authorities which effected
all students from Mississippi, Louisiana
and Florida, denying them their leave on
account of quarantine restrictions then
prevalent. Major Mayo left Columbus for
Annapolis last night to be with his son
during the examination of his case.

LITTLE PROGRESS MADE.
Cost of Knox Portrait Again Discussed
In the House.

a Washington, January 2O.-Abuses in the
expenditure of appropriations was the
text of the discussion In the House today
during the consideration of the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill. Little prog
ress was made in the consideration of
the bill. which will be the continuing
topic for Monday.
The portrait of ex-Attorney General
Knox, for which the department of jus
tice has asked $26i5, was again the topic
of comment. The most animated discus
sion of the day took place on an amend
ment by Mr.. Keifer of Ohio, to increase
the amount for the transportation of
silver coin, Two well defined arguments
were advanced on this question. One was
that to cut this appropriation meant dis
tress to the interior sections of the coun-
try where silver money was used and
the other that the appropriation was
abused by the express companies for
whose benefit 1t was stated the appropria-
tion was annually made.

have had the label slapped on them;
Corporation senator's and democrats
have been referred to as "demagogues"
and "imbecies." There has been lncreas-

pIsaoree over Judicial District.

The Alabama delegation in Congress an
well as the lawyers throughout the state
so radically differ In their ideas as TO
an additional judge for the state, that It
begins to look very doubtful II bill Will
be reported from committee. Some menu
bers are now advocating simply a re-
arrangement of the counties OF the state
so as to provide for two districts, north
ern and a southern. without an addition

transferring Admission from the northern
to the southern district.
One OF the principal reasons assigned
for the unsatisfactory status of the
judicial bill is the fear that the Presi-
dent in appointing new judge would
select some one not wanted by the peoplo
of the new district.

Panic Amono Liberal Press.

There was veritable panic in the camp
of the liberal press after the sentence Of
M. Souvarin was made known. The Mas
shashnin has been refused permission abb
solutely to print the appeal of the League
of Leagues proclaiming Monday as a day
of general mourning. even though the
manifesto expressly stated that the DEM
onstration would be confined to the plac-
ing of crepe on windows, and abstaining
from labor. The Russ. which prominent
ly displayed interest in behalf of the
workmen's union. prints only harmless
line concerning 1t.
There Is strong movement In favor
of direct appeal to the Emperor through
the ministry of justice in favor of re-
duction of the sentence of M. Souvarin
to three months imprisonment. This is
approved by several judges of the courts
NJ Souvarin is given a month to appeal
before being taken to the fortress to
serve his sentence. His attorneys have
declared they will fight a petition with
the sabre for revision of the sentence, and
asking for new trial.

Rioting followed. The people during the
afternoon attacked the prisons, liberated
the political prisoners. and afterwards
captured the police barracks where the
rioters obtained possession of a number
OF rifles and some cannons. Rifle shots
later were heard in all parts of the city
and the rioters became SO bold that they
attacked a battalion of artillery. Many
persons were killed or wounded on both
sides.
Ministry Lasted an Hour.
The new ministry, however, lasted only
one hour. The people rejected the admin

claimed as president General Alfaro, the
former President of Ecuador and leader
of the revolution, and in his absence DIR.

st. Petersburg, January 20-M. Alexis
Souvarin, editor Of the Russ. has been
sentenced to years Imprisonment in a
fortress for publishing in December last
the manifesto of the worlxmen's council
announcing that the government had de-
clared civil war on the proletariat and
saying that the challenge must be accept
ed. Efforts are being made to secure
seven other editors of newspapers are
still pending.
The technical accusation against NJ
Souvarin was incitation of the people to
high treason by the publishing of state
ments designed to instigate riot, sedition
and armed revolt and tending to cause
the bankruptcy of the state The charge
was based not only on the publication
of the manifesto of December 16 in the
Russ, but in a series of seditious procla-
nations by the Postal Telegraph Union
applying to the revolutionary power ad-
jectives traditionally sacred to the EN-
peror, and also the appeal of the League
of Leagues in which it was stated that
the political liberty of the people was
obtainable only through an armed up-
rising for a great battle against the
autocracy.
M. Souvarin pleaded in his defense that
the communications and proclamations
published in his paper, gave, in his opin-
ion, facts of political life of such i'm
portance to all circles OF society that it
was impossible and contrary to the inter-
ests of the government to pass over them
in silence.
Aggravated the Offense.
1t is the general opinion that this
feature of his defense merely aggravated
the offense in the eyes of the judges and
that without 1t he would have escaped
with fortnghts sentence.
The heavy sentence imposed upon the
editor of the most widely circulated news
paper in Russia and who is also prom
inent publicist and literateurist, has
caused a great commotion in circles of
society. At the constitutional democratic
convention 1t ecipsed the interest of the
discussion of the agrarian question which
was the order of the day. M. Hessen and
Professor Milukof were the centers and
agitated groups during the evening Their
friends made it no secret that they be-
lived the same fate was overhangfng
them and other editors under indictment.
The conviction will debar them from fur
ther participation in the new political
realm NJ Milukof said to the Associated
Press:
