OOG CATCHER Will
Soon GET BUSY
Authorities Will Begin Early To Rid
The City of All Worthless and DAN
gerous Dogs, to Guard Against
Hydrophobia.

The city authorities will begin early
this year to clean Hattiesburg of all
worthless and vagrant dogs, which
heretofore have caused so much un-
easiness among citizens during the
hot summer months.
For this purpose a pound pen is be-
ing built near the crematory, in which
all dogs not wearing the required muz-
zlt will be impounded, and, unless re-
fed time, killed and fed to the Gre
matory.
Councilman Cameron, who has
charge of the building of this dog
pound, stated this morning that it
would be ready for use by tomorrow,
and that the dog ordinance would
probably be put in force on May l..
1t is understood that the council will
select as Dog Catcher" man who
is not afraid to take up anybody's
dog, regardless of the size of the dog
or the prominence of its owner.
The dog question is one which has
heretofore caused considerable trou-
BILE in Hattiesburg, and it is proposed
this year to get an early start and rid
the city of all vagrant dogs, so that
the danger from rabies may be re-
duced to a minimum. All that is re-
quired of the dog owner is that the
! animal be muzzled, and as these muz-
zles are inexpensive those who have
dogs worth keeping will naturally be
expected 20 muzzle them
The strict enforcement of the dog
| ordinance is a me tier in which every
citizen should be interested, and the
dog catcher, whoever he may be
should be assisted in every way pos
sible. His job is at best hard one
| and the citizens can assist him great
ly by muzzling their dogs so that il
will not be necessary to impound
them.
The Dog Catcher will be vested
with police powers, and will be in
structed to take up every dog which
is not muzzled. Animals which are
captured and impounded may be re.
deemed within a specified time, but
this is more expensive than to muzxle
them, and if anyone's dog is fed to the
crematory no one but the owner will
be responsible.

Quite a Contrast in Today's Session

Hebron Explains.

Special TO The NelCS.
Jackson, Miss, April 15.-The morn
ing session of the senate opened Sc

to last nights stormy proceedings,
during which a resolution was adopted

SENATOR PERCY
ADDRESSES HOUSES
Gave Terrific Arrangement Of Persons
Who Have Charged Fraud and Cor
rupton in His Election.
Speciql - he NeWS.

Special b he Neo0s.
Jackson, Miss, April 15.-In an ad-
dress before a joint session Of the
two houses of the legislature, within
twentv-four hours of the period for
final adjournment, United States Sen
ator Leroy Percy gave a terrific ar
raignment of the persons who have
charged or insinuated that his elec-
tion to the seat of McLaurin was ac-
complished by fraud and corruption.
Hurting defiance at his critics, Sen
ator Percy declared that he would re-
sign rather than hold a commission
that in the opinion of members OF the
legislature had been obtained by
fraud and corruption.
Taking the Vardaman supporters
completely by surprise, Mr.. Johnston'
of Coahoma, a strong supporter or
Senator Percy, introduced a resolution
offering that the subject of the yalidi-
tv of Senator Percy's election be sub
mitted to a special state primary to
ba held between the 21st and 25th OF
November, of the present year.
Mr.. Rencher of Coahoma, speaking
in behalf of ex-Gov. Vardaman, asked
time to consider the proposition, say

to act without consulting their can
didates. A resolution will be intro
duced in both houses of the legisla-

Senator Tucker and Others Who Vot-

drew Before the Vote Was Taken
on the Anderson Resolution.

A special from Jackson to the New
Orleans Picayune says:
So far as the legislative end of the
investigation stirred up over the Bill
bo-Dulaney bribery transaction is con-
cerned, which has been the talk of
the state for the past fortnight or
more, that was brought to an end
last night, when after a stirring ses-
sion of an hour, the senate, in execu-
tive session, adopted a resolution,
which in terms and significance, is
probably even more drastic and caus-
tic than that proposing the expulsion
of Theo. G. Bilbo as a member of the
senate, which in the afternoon had
failed of adoption for the lack of one
vote
When the senate adjourned at 7
o'clock, after an afternoon of oratory
and contention, which has not been
equaled in that body throughout its
period of existence, a recess was TAX
en- until O'Clock. When the gavel
fell there were forty senators pres
ent and the doors were at once or
dered closed and the lobbies cleared.
With President Pro TEN Hebron in
the chair, Senator Anderson intro
duced the following:
Resolved, That Theo. G. Bilbo
claims to have played the role of de-
coy bribe-taker and informer by pre-
arrangement with prominent friends
of Ex-Governor Vardaman, and claims
in this role to have secured complete
evidence of bribery weeks before the
senatorial nomination, but admits
that he failed to disclose the informa-
tion he is alleged to have obtained to
Ex-Governor Vardaman, or to any of
the vardaman leaders, until weeks
after the nomination had been made,
and a senator had been elected. This
conduct on his part is utterly unex-
planned.
Resolved, In view of the unex-
planned inconsistencies and inherent
improbabilities in the testimony of
Senator Theo. G. Bilbo, his establish
ed bad characted and lack of credi-
bility, and his failure to corroborate
his stateemnt on any material point
by any of the reputable. witnesses in
troduced by him, that the senate of
Mississippi does hereby condemn his
entire bribery charge and his state
ment of the role played by himself
as detective and decoy as trumped up
| falsehood. utterly unworthy of belief;
be it further,
Resolved, That as the result of the
conduct of Theo. G. Bilbo in this
matter and the testimony introduced
in this investigation, the senate of
Mississippi pronounces the said Bill
bo as unfit to sit with honest, upright
men in a respectable legislative body,
and he is hereby asked to resign"

Tea and coffee are very harmful bev-
erages for children. They give a feel

tian. This is what we call stimula-

have been acted upon so that we feel
refreshed, although we have received
no real strength such as comes to US
from food When childrens nerves
are abused in this way they will be
irritable and weak and apt to become

weaken the kidneys. Coffee affects
the heart and is dangerous If the heart
is weak. Badly made tea is q real
