CONTINUES
TENNESSEE SENATORS STILL AB-
 SENT FROM STATE.
Resides Blocking all Legislation, the Absent Senators Have Tied up The Financial Ministry
 of the State.

Nashville. Tenn. March 1.-The thirteen Senators who failed to answer roll call Friday morning. thereby breaking a quorum are still outside the States borders and the Legislative tangie continues.
 Today the joint session" reconven- ed from its recess taken Saturday afternoon and without accomplishing anything, another "recess'" until to- morrow morning was taken. Besides blocking legislation, the absent Sena- tors appear to have, in a measure, tied up the financial ministry of the State.
 Practically all appropriations for expenses of government are only a. vailable until March 19 and after that date, nothing can be paid until new appropriation b!ll has been passed. ex- cept appropriations provided for by statute The salary of the Governor and the heads of the various depart ments, are provided for. Such Is also the case with respect to the salaries of judges. but all clerks in the various departments at the capitol were pro- vided for in the general appropriation bill.
 This will have the effect of seriously crippling the various departments of the State and especially that of the department of justice. No payments can be made to the old soldiers home, the various hospitals for the insane, the industrial school. and other State institutions until an appropriation is made for them in general bill:
 Since the issuance of the order by the speakers of the two Houses of the legislature to the State treasurer Folk has consulted with counsel and has definfately decided his future policy He will pay for only days of actual attendance of each member of the General Assembly. He will continue to pay all other State expenses up to March 19. when the appropriations un- der the bill passed by the last legis- lature will have been exhausted.
 It Is said to be the purpose of the run way State Senators to force q compromise in the selection of the State election boards. It Is further stated that they express a determine tion to remain out of the State until tlAs end has been accomplished.

READY FORCEREMONY
THOUSANDS FLOCK TO WASHING
 TON FOR INAUGURAL.
Court of Honor Is Complete nnd Pen- sion Building Is Arranged For the Great
 Hall

Washington, March 1.-The national capital Is the Mecca toward which the inaugural hosts are making their pill grimage.
 The advance guard of the throngs which quadrenially visit Washington to witness the induction into office of a new President. began today in earn est.
 From every point of the compass. every train- and steamboat entering Washington today was burdenea with humanity, several military. civic and oth CT organizations being represented. The arrival of each military organi- zation at the union station was sig nailed with a blare of trumpets, toot- ing of flies and beating of drums.
 This city has put on holiday garb and the streets are swarmtng with visitors.
 Extraordinary precautions are being taken by the authorities to protect inauguration visitors from pickpockets. and thieves. At every point of arrival and at other places. an array of keen eyed detectives have been placed on guard to keep a sharp watch out for the unwelcome visitor.
 The first casualty incident to the in- augural preparations occurred at the Pension Ohice building today where the inaugural ball is to be held. While working on one or the stanus' E.. Melville Swann, carpenter, feli a distance of fifteen feet, striking his head on the stone floor, receiving fractured skull. from which he died later.
 Predictions are made also that the number of visitors who will come from every nook and corner of the united States will be a record breaker. The work of the great court of honor. one of the most beautiful features of the inauguration. received It's finishing touches today. and this focal point or the national function produces color scheme which is said to eclipse all oth- CT efforts in this direction.
 The task of getting the pension office in readiness for the inaugural ball will be finished tomorrow. The brilliant social event Is expected to be scene of snlendor, the committee having snent S2O, 900 for decorations alone.
 The large crowds that have already arrived were augmented today hv many more reaching the city on every Incoming train. There was also an influx of many organizations from different States.

KNOX WILL REMAIN.
Does Not Pass From the Monetary
 Communication.

Washington, March 1.--Senator Knox will not sever his connections with the congressional monetary commis- don because of his transfer from the Senate to the State department. Pro- vision has also been made for the con- tlnuance of Senator Teller and Rep resentatives Overstreet and Bonynge on the commission.
 As originally composed. the com- mission contained only Senators and members of the House-and the prA- vision in the currency law of the last session creating the commission limits ed the membership to members of the two houses.
 The law apparently did not contelu< plate the possibility of the retirement of members of the commission but the defect is to be removed, by a paFa- graph in the general deficiency appfp- priation bill which is now in tbe final stages. That provision directs the payment of salaries to the retiring Senators and members of the Hopsa who are on the commission. equal to those paid them .. in their pre#n places, and the effect will be to the continuance of the service retiring Senator and members,
 Senator Knox did not fail the list of members to be tf
 munerated because of his prospective connection with the State Department but 1t Is not believed that the restrict tions of the law are such that they will stand In the way of the commis- alon's employment of his services.

 A Terrible Crime.
 The murder of the Edmondson fam-. fly was one of the most fendish in the annals of Morgan County. After the farmer. his wife. his mother and three of his children had been Killed. tho Edmondson residence and barn were destroyed by fire, the evident purpose being to cover up the crime.
 For some time after the fraz Ele incs dent, it was believed by nnnsk stefs som of the woodland Mills neisl{ Isorhood that Tom Edmondson comfnityted the crime and escaped. This bNeitef ia still held by some persons sinfSs all of the bodies were not recoveredS Suspicion rested on Bob" Clements, who had been a tenant of Edmondsbn. but he was not arrested until his wife confessed. Clements was taken into custody on 8 minor charge. Hearing that her husband was under arrest, and believing, as she afterwards admitteds that he was held for the murder of the Edmondsons, Mrs. Clements told ths officers that her husband had killed the Edmondsons and had burned their bodies. ss z According to Mrs Clements. Tom Edmondson found Clements with Mrs. Edmondson in the barn. She said Clements killed Edmondson and then slew his wife. Fearing discovery. he then went to the residence and killed the aged Mrs. Edmcndson and the three children. She said the bodies res mained in the barn and in the resi- dence until the following night. when Clements went back to the place and set fire to both buildings. The trial brought about warm le- gal contest and many witnesses were examined.
