morning. The bill introduced by Sem

i Senator white Of Goodwater raised
the FIRST objection. In forcefui Ian
fwuags, he stated that the big county
high schools had been sold to the high
1 est bidder, had been used for political
purposes, resulting In the little rural
ana hill country schools being cut on
from a penny. These little schools

months in the year." said Senator
INVITE. "and I am unaiterabiy opposed

that he was convinced that Senator

Senator Blackmon then moved that
the consideration Of the bill be indef-
initely postponed Before the ques-
ton could be voted upon, however.
Senators Barbour. Davis, Reynolds and
Mcwhorter spoke upon the bill, Sem
ators Barbour and McWhorter support

ator Biackmon to indefinitely post

Senator Hammer then proposed an
amendment substituting certain words
ing the caption somewhat. Senator
Reese objected to the amendment, say.
Ing that IL adopted there would be two
subjects In the caption. and the bill
therefore liable to be declared uncons

that the matter had been looked up in

amendment was passed.

pare for their long river trip.
Secretary Charles Nagel, of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, will
be commodore of the fleet. and will
have the presidents boat, Mississippi,
as his flagship. The steamer Kate
Adams, as spick and span from its
recent sojourn on docks as the day
when she slid off the ways, will be
in all probability, the official steamer
of the congressional party. The big
boat, so It is understood, has been Of
feIe~ for this purpose by President
Rees.
The big steamer David Upton, OF
st. Louis government fleet. will like
ly be ordered by Secretary of War
Dickinson to the presidential fleet to
serve as a relief boat. The st. Louis
Power Boat Association has offered
rs services, and the chances are that
they will be accepted as the little
craft came in handy during the last
river parade as auxiliary and dis
patch boats.
OF course such a great concourse
of distinguished men would not be
"a on the sometimes treacherous
old Mississippi without every pre-
caution being taken for their safety
and Inspectors W. J. Hodge and III.
C. Waltz are making extensive pre-
parations to see that the great river
parade is a success as far as their
jurisdiction is concerned.
The serenity of the last aquatic pro-
cession was somewhat married by the
alleged misconduct of the crew of the
steamer Fred Hartweg In forging
ahead of the flagship Mississippi with
President Roosevelt on board.
Present intentions of the local in
spectors are to use the speedy little
tug N. NJ. Jones as a patrol boat and
to police the fleet during the entire
trip from st. Louis to Memphis.
AS the boats proceed down the
river they will be augmented by 9TH
eI craft and by the time Hickman is
reached the greatest fleet ever AS
sembled in inland waters will escort
the nations chief executive TO the

blowing of whistles. and roaring OF
