RULES SYSTEM IN
HOUSE IN DANGER

Washington, March Especial. Ut is
reported that the House insurgents be-
lieve they have the necessary "a votes
which allied with the democrats will I'M
horse the House organization and knock
out the present rules system. 1t is stated
there will be test of the matter the
very day the House meets in extraordi-
nary session. Should 1t be unsuccessful
no more will be heard of attempts to
secure a rules modification. Should the
insurgents win a complete change in the
method Of doing business in the House
will result. Immediately after the or
ganization of the House and the election
or Mr.. Cannon to the speakership the
question will come up on the adoption of
rules which have governed the action of
the lower branch in the last several Con-
crosses The rules provide that the ooni-
mittees Of the House shall be appointed
by the speaker. In lieu of this an amend
ment will be proposed to the effect that
the committees be appointed by the
House. It's adoption would relegate the
speakership to the vice presidency GLASS
and give to the individual member that
degree of freedom which Is bestowed upon
senators.

CHINAMAN HAS
REMARKED GIRL

Meridian, Miss, March 1.-(SpeciaL)-
Information has reached Meridian from
Livingston that Lum Jack, the Chinese
laundryman, has welded Miss Ollie Pat
ton, 16-year-oid white girl of this city,
for the second time. The ceremony Is
said to have been performed in the Ala
bama town on February II by the Rev
Folk pastor of the Baptist church of
that place.
The couple returned to this city, but
whether they are living together as man
and wife is not known, as the groom
refuses to make any statement regard
ing the matter. 1t will be remembered
that the couple were first married In
this city month or so ago, but as the
laws of Mississippi will not permit of
such a union the couple were warned to
separate. The affair created no little
sensation throughout the state at the
time and the present announcement will
add to the interest of the story. In
order to secure marriage license in
Alabama the Chinamsn gave bond, this
having been signed, 1t is said by two
Livingston attorneys.

JACOBS RELEASED
ON BOND OF $4,000
Preliminary Hearing Is Given
In Long Murder Case
SELF DEFENSE is CLAIMED
Shooting Occurred On Saturday at
Store Where Discussion Between
Long and Jacobs Resulted in
Death of Long.
SELF DEFENSE is CLAIMED

Columbus, Miss, March 1.-(Special.)-
The preliminary hearing of Maj. j. ia
cobs, who on Saturday afternoon shot
and instantly killed Wade Long, prom
inent planter who lived three miles north
of Shannon, Miss, was held today at
Shannon, Justice Peddy and two asso-
ciates presiding.
The state was represented by Guy
Mitchell of Lee county, while the de-
PENDANTS interests were looked after by
r. P. Landrum of Columbus and C. P.
Long of Tupelo.
The state introduced several witnesses
who proved that Long was killed by
Jacobs but they could only give testi-
mony which proved the killing rather
than the facts that led up to it. The
defense introduced no witness. At the
close of the evidence consultation of
lawyers was held and Jacobs was re-
leased on ball of $4,000 for his appearance
before the August term of Lee county
circuit court.
Major Jacobs, the defendant, was born
and reared in Columbus. He is a son
of F. M. Jacobs, wealthy machinist of
this city. The connection is large and
influential. About six years ago he mar
ried a Miss Evans of Shannon and since
his marriage has been cashier and book
keeper in the general merchandise store
owned by his father-in-law, c. B. Evans,
a 32d degree Mason and a former travel
ing man. This store is the largest in
Shannon.
On Saturday afternoon Long, who met
his death at Jacobs hands, was in Evans
store. A Mrs. Moore, sister of Long,
owed yearly account of small amount
which, it is alleged. Long had said he
would be responsible for the payment
thereof. Jacobs, seeing Long, went to
the front of the store and interviewed
him relative to liquidating the debt. A
conversation which seems not to have
been of the angry kind was succeeded by
Longs remaining in the store and con-
sulting Mr.. Evans. 1t as said Long stated
to Mr.. Evans he was displeased with
Jacobs manner toward him. Mr.. Evans,
it is claimed, tried to assure him there
was no insult intended and the only thing
Jacobs wanted was to have the debt
settled. Jacobs is then said to have been
accosted a second time by Long and told
Long he had nothing to regret regarding
the first conversation. Long told him he
was no way afraid of him and Jacobs
claims he advanced toward him with his
hand on his pistol pocket. He is alleged
to have cursed Jacobs or used profanity
In some shape.
Without any argument Jacobs pulled
his pistol and shot Long through the
heart, who died instantly.
Jacobs was Immediately arrested, taken
to Tupelo and spent Saturday and Sun
day in jail. He was returned to Shan
non this morning on the early train and
the trial followed. Interest in the little
city where the trial was held is at a
great tension, but reports agree that Ja-
