ANNIVERSARY OF
DAVIS GREAT SPEECH
ElOquence Of the Man Who After.
wards Became President OF the
COnfederacy Was Recalled in
the Senate at Washington
Yesterday.

Washington, Jan. 2l.-Today is the
anniversary of one of the most men,
orable speeches ever delivered in the
United States Senate, and that fact Is
recalled by many aged men Of Wash
ington who lived in the national cap
ital during those troubled time. 1t
was on January 81, 1861, that Jeffer
son Davis, who later led the lost
cause to defeat, arose in his place
in the senate chamber and solemnly
announced the secession of his state,
Mississippi from the Union, and his
withdrawal from the senate
Those who heard the momentous ad-
dress of Jefferson Davis declare that
1t was a masterpiece OF oratory, not
impassioned, not vindictive, but
Astounding in expressions of love for
his former colleagues and associa
tons. 1t brought tears to the eyes
OF many senators, and after it's con-
clusion nearly every member of the
august body crowded around the tall
thin, towering form OF the MISSISSIPPI
pi statesman and shook his hand II
farewell. The address was grave and
earnest and delivered with all tn,

FISKE INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
Promoter of Pine Bluff Interurban I'm
der Arrest in Chicago. Has Charge
of False Pretenses Against
Him Here

James j. Fiske, promoter OF the Lit
tie Rock and Pine Bluff Traction Com
pany, who disappeared from Little
Rock after a warrant had been placed
in the hands of the police, which char
ged him with obtaining money under
false pretenses, and who was later ar
rested in Chicago upon similar
charge and detained without bond at
the Harrison Street police jail, has
been indicted by the grand jury OF Pu-
laski county. 1t leaked out yesterday
that true bill had been returned
against Fiske, charging him with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The name Of the person who secured
the Indictment could not be learned.
While Fiske languishes in the Chi
cago prison, postoffice inspectors are

Fiske claims that his arrest in Chi
cago is a case Of mistaken identity.

fraudulent check, after he had met him
by an engagement made when he was
promoting the Nashville and Cumber-

CAPITOL WORK

That there will be no turther

hence. is at last a settled IA I. ne

age. is emphatically denied.
The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Hill and is COM
u1ete review Of the salient points OF
the ease. The chief ground for
the opinion favorable to the posi-
ton of tho state auditor is based
upon the principle that, as the Cen
eral Assembly has the unqucstion-
able right to withhold any fund at
the discretion, as in case OF war,
for instance it has therefore the
right to dispense with all funds by
annronriation. the one right being
corollary to the other; hence, the
contention of State Auditor Moore
and of Attorney General Kirby that
the funds for meeting the expenses
of the State Capitol Commission i'll
the prosecution of the work OF
erecting the new State Capitol must
be appropriated every two Years
from the fund accommodating from the
special tax named in the act Great
ing the commission and providing
for the million dollar capitol build
ing. just as other appropriations
arc made. The opinion declares
there can be No discriminat ON,
without reading something into
the constitution that is not there
and reading something out that Is
already in the constitution.
All of which means that the cap
itol building will remain in lis
fpresent unfinished condition until
there is meeting Of the Legisla-
ture 10 make the necessary appro-
priation. There may, of course, be
a. special session, but it is hardly
probable that a special session will
be called. in lieu of the depleted
condition of the State treasury.
Already over three-quarters of
million dollars have been expended
on the new State Capitol, leaving
nearly q quarter of million 70
complete it, If the original plans
are followed In the fund provided
by the special tax there is already
an accumulation Of over 100000.
which amount is reposing peaceful
ly in the vaults of the State treas
.ury, according to the opinion just
rendered, to no demand whatever
until the General Assembly meets.
Another interesting feature
arises, in connection with the opin-
ion, and that applies to the school
and pension fund. Based, as the
opinion is, upon the generic power
of the Legislature to govern in the
appropriate of all funds, many
hold that it must necessarily al
feet these two funds, just as it does
TIN, State Capidl fund, and that
these must be appropriated speciti-
caly every two years Arkansas DEM

$16, 100000 when the United States
Steel corporation was formed, was
taken Ia by the smooth talk Of wo-
man and gave a mortgage for $10o, 900
on his $750,o00 home here. For this
mortgage he secured the sum Of 81
hand money" Nothing more.
The woman to whom he gave the
mortgage is mystertously missing and
with her departure comes out a story
of remarkable career which places
her as the worthy rival Of Cassie
Chadwick.
She got into the good graces of
Pittsburg business men through let
ters she presented signed by Bourke
Cochran of New York; Ellis H. Rob-
erts, former treasurer of the United
States; Hetty Green; Dolphin M. Del
mas of San Francisco; the late JUS
tice John J. Wickham of the superior
court of Pennsylvania and a dozen
prominent judges. She is known to
Pittsburg flnanciers as the woman In

secured from wealthy Pittsburgers is
unknown, but the amount is believed
to be enormous.
