Just long enough before the assembling
OF the conference on Monday to en-
able the telers to make the count.
Hense there can BIS nothing more
tangible than speculation as to what
the tenth ballot will show
There are those who. however,
judging by his steady advance. believe
that there will be announced on Mon
day morning the election of Rev. w.
a. Quarles, pastor of ST. James Church,
Chicago, and that the election of Rev.
Edwin II. Hughes. president of De
Paw University. will speedily fol-
low by reason Of THE hacking OF
those who have been supporters OF
Mr.. Quayle- There are those. too,
who look for the election of Rev
Wilson S. Lewis, president of Morning
side College. when the result of the
tenth ballot is made known. Per
haps the surprise of this day was the
falling off In the vote for Rev. Joseph
B, Hin geley, secretary OF the confer

ninth ballots lost fifty-three of his
followers because, 1t Is said. OF the

.HUNDLEY CASE IS
 GIVEN HEARING Not Much Interest Is Taken In
 Proceedings COLONEL BUSH TESTIFIES
Senator Johnston Also Gives State ment Concerning the Receivership. Dillingham; and Clarke
 Favor Hundley.

Washington, February S-(Special) )- There was big falling off of interest m the Hundley case at today's session. Col. T. G. Bush of Birmingham, one of the receivers of the Southern Steel company, completed his statement of yesterday, only to give way for few moments to A. H. Benners, who was asked to explain how he reconciled his criticisms of Hund- ley to the resolution passed by the cred itors commenting the actions of the re- ceivers. In brief, MT Benners took the position that the resolution of commen- dation was simply perfunctory.
 The only feature of the hearing was the injection into the proceedings of a state ment by Senator Johnston, who with Sem ator Bankhead and Representatives Rich |. ardson and Burnett were the only persons present at the hearing. Representative Burnett had asked Colonel Bush if Judge Hundley had received letter from Sem ator Johnston, indorsing him for the re- celvership. Colonel Bush replied that he was not an applicant for the receivership.
 Senator Johnston then said that he had declined to make any request of Judge Hundley pending the question of his con firmation He said he considered Colonel Bush in every way qualified for the po- sition, but had declined to make any rec ommendation in the matter.
 The senator told the committee that per sonally he was friendly to Judge Hund- ley, but had declined to commit himself on the case until he had heard all the evidence He added that he would cer- tainly not oppose him on mere political grounds, but would have to have proof of his unfitness before opposing him.
 Colonel Bush. in the course of his testt- mony on the Southern Steel said the com pany now had s100,000 in bank and other convertible assets. He said under no cir cumstances could the operation of the plant have been continued that 1t would have required something like s1,O00,O00 to put it in good condition. If the company had had S200,000 or s300,00 on hand they could not have continued, owing to loss of the creditors. No one, Colonel Bush thought, could do more than the receivers appointed by Judge Hundley.
 Senator Dillingham; and Senator Clarke of Arkansas were the only members of the subcommittee of five present today. Both indicated by their attitude toward the witnesses that they are for the con- firmation of Hundley. w. s.

SHOT ID DEATH IN
 REVOLVER DUEL Young Husband Killed With
 Wife At His Side THREE SHOTS DO THE WORK Man Who Received Fatal Wounds Fired Four Times Al Ills oppo-
 nent, But Inflicted Only
 Superficial Wounds.
THREE SHOTS DO THE WORK

Meridian, Miss, February S.-(Special.)- Taylor, a contractor. and Oscar Hatcher. a farmer, in the corridor of the Miazza- Woods office building. at 5 o'clock this afternoon, Hatcher received three wounds from which he died half an hour later, and Taylor received one wound in the hand and a scalp wound, caused by a bullet from Hatcher's revolver ploughing its way along the edge of the skull, just above his right ear. The main entrance hall to the building had several people in it at the time the deadly duel was started.
 The wife of Hatcher was standing by his side, begging the men to desist dur ing the firing. Hatcher fired four shots at Taylor in quick succession. Taylor fired only once in the building, the bull let striking Hatcher in the left breast, penetrating the lungs and coming out in the back Hatcher ran out the storm doors, followed by Taylor. and as he turned into cigar store Taylor fired twice, one bullet entering the neck and the other ploughing It's way through Hatchers cheek and passing through the leg of James Hamm, young man stand ing short distance from the sidewalk.
 Hatcher ran into the rear of a drug store, entering the hall of the building, and fell forward on his face. He was placed in an ambulance and carried to the hospital, but died within 15 minutes after reaching there. Taylor was locked up in the county jail
 Hatcher came to Meridian seven years ago from Griffin, Ga, and married Miss Glenn Harvey. They resided near Marion, this county. The trouble was about the wife of Hatcher
