Sunday night there was some
excitement ia town because of
the report which spread rapidly
that Sorsby, the lnuch-hunted
slayer of Postofice Inspector
Fitzgerald at Clinton, was aboard
the 7:40 passenger train from the
west, seeking to make his escape
eastward. Before the arrival of
the train Sheriff Nichols had re-
ceived q telephone message from
Brandon from the Sheriff Of Ran
kin county to that effect, and
secret service officer had also
'phoned similar information to
City Marshall Pace. According
" those two officers were both at
1.-The depot when the train came in
and they thoroughly searched
the cars, but Sorshy was not
aboard. The conductor, who
knows the fugitive well, also in
formed the officers that the man
they were after was not on his
train and hadn't been, and thus
ended another chapter in the ex-
citing story of the big hunt. for

learned how the officers at Bran

Sorsby was on the train. Forest

A young man, who claimed to
know Sorsby well, said he had
often hunted with lin, etc., told
a Brandon man who was also on
the train that it was Sorsby who
boarded the A. & v, at the stop
just beyond Jackson. On hear
ing the report Sheriff White

mass meeting. but an efficient and
manageable assembly. 1t would take
away from the speaker certain powers
over legislation which has come to his
hands with the legitimate and needed
increase of the authority of the speaker
as a presiding officer. Such power in
the hands of an unserupulous man
might be exceedingly disastrous to
congressional adequacy.
1t does not seem possible that the
house can materially weaken the power
of the speaker while he is presiding
over its deliberations without destroy
ing its competency to handle its busi-
ness. Presiding over the deliberations
of the house. however, is the particular
business of the speaker. just the same
as legislation Is the business of the
other members of the house. A change
in the rules which seeks to give to the
members themselves the selection of
their own representatives on the COM
mittees which play SO great part in
forming and controlling legislation
would only be in harmony with the
new order of things which aims to do
away with the arbitrary political pow
er of individuals.

him: Guess we amt got any water

said: No, but the porter will go to
