suit of Accident

sui Ol 6CC1oSuI.

O. clock yesterday. Mr.. Halstead had fur
nished bond in the sum Of $1,000. with Mr.

stead. 1t is said the machine was going
at slow rate of speed
So suddenly did the bicycle appear and
collide with the automobile, 1t is declared,
that Mr.. Halstead found it utterly impos-
sible to prevent the accident, and 1t was
not until after one wheel had passed over
the child that he could stop his machine

the hospital as soon as he learned of the
accident and learned from his son just how
it had occurred. Mr.. Halstead employed
a physician to aid in caring for the in
jured boy.
Coroner hewitt was notified of the death,
and although he was told that the affair
was purely an accident he regarded it as
necessary to order an inquest
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook Will probooly

and the statements of witnesses will be
taken tomorrow morning at the morgue.
Then jury will render a decision.
The wheel of the automobile passed over
ternal injuries His condition was regarded

Tribute to His Memory.
The address was as follows:
1--WE are met to pay heartfelt tribute to
our departed friend, Col. George w. Roose-
welt, united in common regret and common
sympathy. The late consul was known to
all of us in his official reputation, and many
of us regarded him as a valued and trusted
adviser He was not prominent in public;
but none could come into contact with him
without feeling that he was very marked
personality. He had his own point of view
and was not afraid to express 1t. He had
the courage of his opinions and all the In
dependent spirit of his native land. He was
a man of real goodness of heart, most kind
and genial and hospitabe.
Those who knew him best loved him
most. l cannot speak adequately of his
services to his country. They were recog-
nized by the President and government and
press. Both his military and civil career
was highly distinguished. He bore upon
him the marks of a brave and honorable
soldier, one who had done heroic action In
discharging patriotic duty.
I'm the consular service he could nave
risen higher and taken more prominent
positions If he had chosen, but he preferred
to remain among us here, and he stayed at
his post in spite of ill-health and suffering
and discomfort. Now he is at rest. We
shall miss him, but we do not sorrow as
dio not speak much of religion. but you
felt it was there He was Thoroughly
Christian in spirit, and now we believe ne
has entered that better world, where there
is no more pain, no more sin, no more tears.
We commend him to the peace and mercy
of God, and we pray for his widow that she
may find strength and comfort to sustain
her"
The Masonic quartet sang with fine eff
conclusion a detachment of soldiers volleyed
thrice over the grave and a lone bugier
stepped forward and sounded the plalntlve
notes of taps" good night.

Senator Wingo had made the assertion during he heat of debate that the insurance measure proposed was originally drafted by J. Altschul, whom he designated as "a political jackal." '" This remark Senator Montgom- cry took as personal aud he practically demanded a public apology.
 Senator Wingo admitted hav- ing made the remark and offered 10 back up the assertion, though he said if Senator Montgomery would show him that this was not the fact he would apologize. A point of order was airesd which checked the controversy. Later Senator Wingo attempted to in- troduce written statement re- garding the matter, but this was ruled out. At the afternoon session, the bill which had caused all the trouble was finally called up for reconsideration aud was finally referred to the committee on insurance.
 Senator Wingo presented a resolution memorializing the Ar kansas members in congress 70 urge the repeal of amendments IA and Is to the constitution of the United States, which would re- suit in the disfranchisement of the negro.

 by vote of g to A after one of
 the hardest floor fights of the session. Advocates of tue bill made a gallant fight, but were met at every point by those who believe that the regular license system is sufficient and that further taxes on the business of handling liquors should be placed by raising the state license, or not al all. It was further con- tended that the passage of the bill would only mean that the liquor dealers Of the state would be driven from business, and that the dealers at Memphis and other points across the borders would reap the harvest, while the state would receive no revenue what ever.
