NR. SIMS HAS HIS
 POCKET PICKED Congressman Loses All His Money In JO|IifcatiOn SUSPICION RESTS ON MANY Congressman Interviews the Janitor and scrubwomen, But at Latest
 Accounts He Could Get No
 Trace of His Money.

Washington, May 31.=tSpeeial.)- Representative Sims of, Tennessee does not exactly charge any member of the House with having picked his pockets but he has no reason for believing that one did not, and did not hesitate today to say so. During the jubilation at the close of the session last evening q wal let containing sSo disappeared, and as consequence he had to cash another check today to defray the expenses of himself and family to Jackson, Tenn.
 This is the first time that such a thing ever happened on the floor of the House. and no one is more worried over it than MT. Sims. He Is a re- former and the fact that he has to re- main member of a body resting un- der an awful suspicion Is said to worry him fully half as much as the loss of the money. The manner in which the loss occurred caused the capitol police to issue a statement today declaring that there was nothing unusual about it.
 It is related that he was occupying his seat bemoaning the fact that he had not been able to secure a universal street car transfer law for the District when he clapped his right hand on his right hip pocket, and felt the wallet. Then the correspondents and the con gressmen began to sing Dixie" and Way Down upon the /Suwannea River" and he just couldn't help get ting into the thick of the fray. He walked right in among the plutocrats. the proletariat and the pages and chirped as loud and as long as any of them. Then he felt for his wallet again and forgot about telling Uncle Joe" goodbye.
 Of course MT. Sims was assured upon the highest authority that he did not have Took in" to recover the purse. But early this morning he was on the floor of the House exchanging coVfi- dences with the janitor and the scrub women and predicting what wonderful presents he would buy for heir child : ren if it was ever returned to him.

Cockrane Roasted.

Jackson, Miss, April 21.-Judge
R. F. Cochran, the picturesque circuit
Judge of the Tenth district, received
a torrid roast from the supreme court
last evening in the opinion handed
down by Chief Justice Whitfield in
the case of State VS.. Frank and Webb
Key, to whom bail in the sum of
lower court.
Chief Justice Whitfield declared
that this was an instance wherein it
was inexcusable for a circuit judge to
grant bail, and that Judge Cochran
had no warrant in law whatever for
his action. The chief justice also de-
clared that there is entirely too much
laxity among circuit judges and chan
cellors on the subject of bail, and
they should follow the statutes more
closely, both in letter and spirit.
While the attorney-general was
upheld in his contention hat Judge
Cochran had no authority to grant
bail, the supreme court was COM
PEELED to sustain the lower court, be-
cause of the statute prescribing the
character of the cases in which the
state may take appeal. Thus it ap-
pears that Gen. Fletcher, while win
ming a victory, in reality loses the
case, for the Key brothers will re-
main at liberty under bail until the
next court session in Lauderdale

All Three.

Columbus made it three straight
for Vicksburg last Wednesday after
noon, having shut the visitors out in
a 40 game. Three of the four runs
credited to the locals were made in
the sixth, and Durmeyer started the
fun by leading off with a double.
Huber and Marshall laid down safe
bunts, and, with the bases full, Frank
Manush raped out double which
enabled Durmeyer and Huber to
score. Manush was thrown out be-
tween second an dthird, and Marshall
scored on Mitchells single. In the
eighth Durmeyer hit for two sacks,
was sacrificed to third by Huber, and
scored on an easy grounder, which
Herold fumbled.
After a weeks stay at home, the
DISCOVERIES took the road Wednesday
night, and inaugurated their tour by
shutting out Jackson in a 20 game
Thursday afternoon. The two runs
credited to Columbus were made to-
wards the close of the game, one hav-
ing been secured in the eighth and
one in the ninth. The runs were
made by Mitchell and Downing, and
in each instance came as a result of
three successive safeties. Demaree
performed the twirIing stunt for the
DISCOVERIES, and, as usual, pitched a
brilliant game, having allowed only
four scattered hits. Barber pitched
for Jackson, and yielded nine safe
ties.
The first game of the double head
er with Jackson yesterday afternoon
resulted in victory for Pylant, who
was again on the slab for the Colum-
bians. 1t was not until the ninth
that the tie ended, the teams being |
three each until that time. In her
half of the ninth Columbus made |
seven runs, Miller, who was pitching |
for Jackson, exploding, and the team |
going with him Although Jackson |
made ten hits off of Pylant, they /
made six errors and here it was that |
they lost the game, the score being |
ten to three in favor of Columbus.
May went in for the last game of |
the double header and won his game
five to one, thus making three that
Columbus took from the Jackson j
team on their home grounds. This
makes six straight games, which the
locals have won, three straight from
here and three from jack
son on her home grounds. Columbus
low leads the Cotton States league,
being one game ahead of Gulfport.
The team plays the three first days
Of this week with Vicksburg.
