Wins A SUIT
AGAINST NEVADA
CATTLE COMP ANY

SAN FRANCISCO. April 20
Jesse Lux Potter won his first vic
tory yesterday in his complicated le-
gal fight against the Nevada corpor-
alton of the Miller and Lux company,
when Judge Seawell awarded him an
advance of s150,000 on the money
due him from the California corpor-
alton of the same firm.
1t was suggested by the court that
Potter and his mother should not ac-
cept shares from the Nevada corpor-
alton until after the California or
ganization finally had been dissolved.
The decision was on one of the
various actions instituted by Potter
against the Miller and Lux corpora
tion. The organization and incor-
poration of the Miller and Lux COM
pany under the laws of Nevada, Pot
ter has claimed, was a method to
cheat him and his mother out of
their shares of the big Lux estate.
The decision was in the applica-
tion of Asro N. Lewis, one of the
trustees of the estate of Marinda Lux,
widow of Charles Lux. to be permit
ted to close up the affairs OF the es-
tate. Potter and his mother. Mrs.
Marinda Potter. are the chief heirs.

MAKES DEFENSE
FOR ADAM AND
HIS LOST rib

CHICAGO, April 20.-In defiance
of the higher criticism, Rev. Freder-
ick E. Hopkins. Congregational
comes out in defense of the Biblical
accounts of woman's creation.
'Infdels all laugh at Adams rib, :"
he says. They tell us the Bible be-
gins with joke, that it is ridiculous
to suppose that woman was made as
Genesis describes. We do not care
to argue that point further than to
remark that no one except the author
of the first book in the Bible has
ever given as satisfactory an explana-
ton of the beginning of things from
a spiritual standpoint.
Before we dismiss book which
contains what some think is such a
ridiculous story, let us stop long
enough to ask if, after all. the mere
inventions of the story does not
make the book worth while?
who today, after he has had a
jolly good laugh. will rise and ex-
plain how 1t ever occurred to provide
for the continuation OF human life
on this planet by establishing the
family relation? Could anything be
more perfect than just to say. 4 will
make a helpmate for him and the
thing was done?
rs II huge Joke that lies at the
bottom of the marriage relation and
the home? Are the words of the
most beautiful of ceremonies but an
echo Of an ancient and childish
fable?"

will then swing around the Southwest

keeping, following his conviction on
the charge, OF numbering j. o. Bree-
land, last fall near Tickfaw.
Judge Ellis asked Blount If there
was any reason why sentence should
not be passed. He replied that there
was, first, because he was not guilty.
and second because he hadn't been
given a fair trial" Judge Ellis said
he had been given fair trial and that
the verdict was just one.
Blounts attorneys will appeal to
the state supreme court.

TO EXTEND Time
FOR S0RSBY CASE
LAWYERS WANT TIME TO CON-
PlETE THE APPEAL.
Celebrated Prisoner is Still Cheerful,
Despite the Fact That Life
Sentence in the Penitentiary Hangs
Over His Head.

JACKSON, Miss, April 17.-An ex-
tension in the case of State VS.. Will
liam A. Sorsby, the convicted slayer of
Postoffice Inspector Charles Fitzger-
aid, will probably be necessary, owing
to the exceptionally large amount of
evidence submitted in the trial which
was brought to close last Tuesday,
resulting in a life sentence for the de-
fendant.
Judge w. H. Potter allowed counsel
for the defense sixty days in which
to prepare the bill of exceptions, but
as it will be a difficult matter to pre-
pare any feature until the stenogra-
piers transcript of testimony is in
hand, the attorneys may be compelled
to ask for an extension, which wH
not, in this instance, serve to delay
justice, as the appeal cannot be dock
eted until the October term of the Su-
preme Court The final call of the
criminal docket for the present term
will take place next Monday.
In the meantime Sorsby must re-
main in close confinement in the
Kinds county jail. There is no likeli-
hood of habeas corpus proceedings
being instituted to secure his release,
or application made for bail on any
plea, for such a procedure would meet
with bitter opposition from the prose-
cution.
The celebrated prisoner has been
very cheerful since the jury returnd
vrdict that saved his neck from the
hangman's moose, and from statements
made to some of his fellow-prisoners
it is believed that he would readily
assent to accepting a life sentence,
but his relatives are evidently deter
mind to prosecute the appeal and
have instructed the attorneys to fight

WEEVIL SCARE IS
AGAIN DISSIPATED
PEST FOUND IN YAZOO COUNTY
NOT GENUINE KIND.
Chief EtomoIogist Makes Authorita-
tive Report to That Effect.-Not
Believed That Crop Will Suffer in
Mississippi This Year.

YAZOO CITY, Miss, April 1.-THE
boil weevil scare in Yazoo county has
been dispelled by report from DR.. l..
o. Howard, chief entomologist of the
bureau of plant industry, United
States department of agriculture, to
the effect that the specimens of in
sects sent to him for analysis are not
the genuine Mexican weevil, but mere
ly harmless tree crickets.
The planters who furnished the in
sect specimens were quite sure tsat
they had encountered the dreaded pest
and much apprehension was created
in the cotton-growing districts of that
fertile county. DR.. Howard's report
affords much relief, and the farmerss
can now go ahead with their farming
operations, and feel confident that
they will not have to fight the weevll
this yeair.
Tho bureau Of plant industry is on
record as declaring the existence of
the weevil toward the latter part of
last year in several counties of, the
delta, notably Isaquena, Sharkey and
Washington, but it is not likely that
the insects exist in sufficient numbers
in any part of the delta to cause much
damage to cotton during the current
crop year.
