Beckham-James Speaking.

Governor J. c. W. Beckhsm and
Congressman Ollie James spoke to a
full house at the City Hall Saturday
afternoon. in the interest Of the dem
oeraiie party and the State Demo
cratic ticket. The Governor poke
at length and consumed an hour and
quarter In his address, thus leav-
ing Mr.. James only about thirty
minutes, as their time was limited,
having to drive to Fulton that after
noon.
Mr.. Beekham outlined the Demo
cratic Administration aud compared
it with those OF the past Republican
Administrations. He showed that
during the present democratic adj
ministration, the Indebtedness OF
the State Of 81 100000 besides a
100000 bonded Indebtedness in
heriied from the Republicans had
been paid. that the school per capita
had been raised from $40 to $40.

Green had been built, the new State
Capitol costing over a million dol
lars, had been built and atter ooing
all this the Democrats would leave
the State not only free from debt.
but with a surplus Of a million and
a half dollars in the treasury.
Mr. James just gave one Of his
old time democratic speeches, and
scored the Republican Leaders with
out fear or favor. AT times the ap-
paluse was so great that he had to
wait before continuing.

MAKE BOhB-PROOF
DUNA OF RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG, March 2.-'-The
bOmb-proof Duma" is the title satirical-
~ given TO the Tauride palace, as re-
constructed for the second convention OF
the peoples representatives.
Since the dissolution of the first Duma
$4,000 have been spent in making the
building safe for the ministers who are
obliged by law TO appear.
The premier, NJ Stolypin and two
other ministers are known to be on the
Terrorists' lists. and their appearance
in hte Tauride palace as it existed last
year would have been equivalent TO
death. Anyone could enter who wrote
down his name. and TO reach their seats
ministers were obliged to walk through
several halls occupied by the general
public.
The palace has now been made bomb
proof in the sense that ministers can
enter the building and reach their places
without once being seen. A long gal
lery leads directly from the street to the
ministerial inclosure
In the Enclosure and gallery electric
alarms have been fitted in order TO make
it possible to summon protectors in
case any Duma member makes a hostile
( demonstration. The danger of this is
considerable. as the Duma will contain
at least a handful of extremist devotees

absolutely declines to regard him as a

was relieved of all responsibility of the
killing of Stanford White.

Fhaw's Restless Nephew
Wants to Leave Wyoming

PITTSBURG. March 2.-"Billy" Thaw,
a nephew of Harry Thaw, at the be-
ginning OF the Thaw trial was sent out
20 a ranch near Sheridan. Wyo-. where
II was proposed to curb his prediction
for the white light" districts of the
big cities Now comes the news that
he is trying to make his escape.
Recently Billy went so FAR as to
start off through the snow drifts for
Sheridan, forty miles away. where he
could reach Cheyenne over some dark
water branch of one Of the Hartman
lines.
In the course Of the affairs of the
Thaw family il was deemed advisable
to send Billy" out West for the
winter
The young man acquired the reputa-
ton in the smart set of Pittsbburg of
being Of such a lively nature as to re-
quire almost constant attention. so when
the trial Of Harry Thaw grew near il
was thought 10 be the best thing to
get Billy away from newspaper ac-
counts of the testimony.
Billy was accordingly sent TO Sher-
idan for a winter in the bealth-giving
Rockies. and it was determined that he
should spend the cold months among
the cow punchers and bronchos which
chiefly inhabit that region. For half a
dozen weeks things went fine. so It is
said. Later. when echoes OF Thaw trial
began to circulate the region, Billy
became restless
