GEN. LEES BIRTHDAY
Celebrated Confederate Veter-
ans Hundred Anniversary
Falls Today.

Lexington, Va, Jan. 1s.-of the
scores of observances to be held
throughout the South in celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary of
the birth Of Gen. Robert E. Lee, it is
safe to assert that none will be of
more notable or imposing character
than that to be held here under the
auspices of Washington and Lee uni
versity, his alma mater. Preparations
for the observance have been going
forward for several months. The chief
celebration Is to be held tomorrow, but
preliminary exercises are to take place
tonight under the auspices of the Gra-
ham-Lee Literary society. BY hap
py selection the Grafton tomorrow will
be delivered by Charles Francis
Adams, of Massachusetts,, who was one
of General Lees opponents in the
Civil War.
After the war and after Gen. Lee
had been offered many positions of
honor and emolument the great lead
er felt that there was no higher Gail
to duty, and no greater privilege for
him than to spend the remainder of his
life In endeavoring to influence young
men in mental, moral and spiritual
development So he became president
OF Washington college and hither
1ocked the youth of the South. Dur
Ing the five years that Gen. Lee was
spared to preside over the institution
and impress his influence upon those
committed to his charge more than
900 students were enrolled.

@T1Z RESOLUTION EAV0RS DENATUREO rALKY' AMENDMENT

commercial alcohol could not be with
drawn from bond and denatured ex-
cept in denaturing plants specially
erected for this purpose. The plants
were so expensive that no farmer
could afford to build and equip them,
as the interest on his investment
would be far more than the extra
cost of using gasoline and paying tri-
butte to the Standard oil trust. Sena-
tor Hansbrough introduced an amend
ment to the law which provides that
farmer or several of them jointly
may manufacture the commercial
alcohol and run it into reservoirs
which have been sealed by a govern
ment agent and that the alcohol may
be withdrawn from these and denatur-
ed by such officer. The cost of the
method would probably be twenty five
dollars as against that many hundred
and probably more under the original
bill.
In view of this matter a resolution
was introduced by Major Butts and
reads as follows:

Karnes City, Texas, Jan. 18.-The
second legal execution in the history
of Karnes county takes place today,
the victim being Ramon Campos, a
Mexican, whose crime was most at
rocious one. Campos had divorced
his wife with the expectation of marry

he had obtained his divorce Juana
changed her mind and refused to mar

try in a buggy. He was walking and
they asked him to ride with them.
He accepted the invitation and after
going short way began to impor-
tune Juana to marry him. She persist
ed in her refusal. Enraged at this,
the man drew a razor from his pocket
and cut the girls throat. When the
younger woman screamed he drew his
pistol. She grasped 1t and there was
desperate fight for her life. Both

Bismarck, Jan. 18.-The session Of
the senate lasted just thirty minutes
Wednesday but in that period were
crowded a number of important meas
ures, nine bills, most of them relating
to important matters were introduced.
Senator Purcell introduced a concur
rent resolution directing the members
of congress from the state of North
Dakota to use their influence to secure
the repeal of the tariff on lumber. The
confusion of the senator from Rich
land county with that of the senator
from the First district was an in
advertance which has already been
corrected. The resolution was intro-s
duced by democrat and the proposed
legislation Is strictly in harmony with
the policies Of that party.
Senator Stade introduced a resolu-
tion requiring the secretary of state
to furnish a list of all bills to be
placed on the third reading each day.
Senator Talcott introduced a bill
appropriating $4,000 to graded
schools and $25,000 to common schools
under certain regulations. The schools
are divided into two classes-one of
eight and the other nine months, each
school to receive sum of $500.
Senator Plain introduced bill pro-
viding for the initiative and referen-
dunn. The bill is comprehensive along
these lines and applies to all legisla-
tion except appropriations of public
money, constitutional amendments, and
local and special laws. The initiative
can be set in motion-if adopted-by
eight per cent of the voters.
Senator Soopheim introduced bill
covering the consultations of insur-
ance companies into what might be
termed a trust. 1t is claimed that
many of the companies form what is
known as a union and when once
formed these concerns require local
agents to handle no business for con-
Germs which are not included in such
union, and that because Of their plant
the business Of the outside concerns
is driven from the field and that the
combination is therefore in restraint
of competition. These things are
not memorialized in the bill but they
are the conditions which are supposed
and which probably do exist, and the
bill meets them and If passed will
prevent any such combinations in the
past.
Senator Cashel introduced a bill
fixing a maximum passenger rate of
two cents per mile.
Senator Simpson introduced a meas.
ure tending to secure the assessment
of express companies at their full
value. The measure is simple and
