attracted considerable attention and
was staged in a theater where large
tank had been built on the stage es-
pecially for the event.
1t was understood between father
and son that Ernest was to take on
the opponents first and, If defeated,
the champion was to take on whoever
turned the trick. But the champion
was never called upon. Dugas, Jr.,
had his first opponent in the water

four seconds, while the third managed

A Chinese Solomon.

Foo Chow. a Pekin magistrate, once
showed great wisdom and ingenuity
in detecting a thief. A man was
brought before him charged with
stealing a small but very valuable
jeweled table. The prisoner denied
the charge. He said that he was weak
and feeble with long illness. For that
reason it was impossible for him to
have carried off a piece Of furniture.
The judge listened very gravely to
his story. After hearing of the poor
mans misfortunes, he protested great
sorrow and sympathy for the sufferer

kindly; and as you are poor. take
with you that bag of cash"-heavy
Chinese coins-"as a gift from this
court"
The prisoner bowed, quickly threw
the heavy bag over his shoulder, and
departed, while every one wondered.
But he had hardly got outside the
door Of the court, when he was ar
rested. The Judge remarked that II
he could easily carry on q heavy sack

More Funds Necessary.

The total cost for the extended session
of the legislature will be about $4,000,
according to estimates, and the contin-
gent fund committee will have to intro
duce a bill asking for a further appro-
priation of about 100000 to defray the
expenses of the session. The first bill
called for $4,000, but this has long since
been paid out, and the expenses up to
and including Saturday, which would
nave ended the session, except for the ex-
tension of fourteen days granted by the
governor, has cost the state, including
mileage and per diem, about $4,000.

Gordon's Speech Pleased Him.

Gov. Noel gave out for publication the
following interesting letter to his old
friend, Col. James Gordon:
Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 25, 1910.
"Col. James Gordon, United States SEN
ator, Washington, ID. c.:
MY Dear Sir:
Had the speech which you delivered
in the senate chamber been delivered
fifty years ago, it would have prevented
the Civil War, and l may say that 10
the unanimous sentiment north of the
Mason and Dixon line today. The hearts
of our loyal people have never been so
generally touched, and why did you
wait all these long years before you
expressed such beautiful sentiments?
why | am writing you this letter is
because | want every word of that
speech printed in pamphlet form, edited
and corrected by your own hand, so that
we can circulate it East, West, North
and South, that our children may speak
it in the public schools; that our ora
tors may repeat it at our Memorial
Day exercises with Lincoln's speech at
Gettysburg. And what a response would
come from an American audience who
would hear these two addresses delivered
from the same platform.
You have rolled sixty years of serv-
ice into sixty days, and have crowned
a record not equal to any senator from
the South in a hundred years.
with best wishes for a long and
happy life, | beg to remain fraternally
yours, GEO. 2. FARLEY"

BILBo BRIBE BEING pRoBED.
Dulaney Released on Bond, Demands q
Prompt Trial by Jury.

Behind closed doors Tuesday night the
state senate commenced its investigation
of the statement made by State Senator
Theo. G. Bilbo, that he accepted a bride
of $645 from the hands of l.. G. Dulaney
to change his vote from Vardaman to
Percy in the recent memorable senatorial
contest. All doors and corridors leading
to the senate chamber were securely
barred, a sergeant-at-arms stationed at
each, and no statements relative to the
proceedings will be made public save
those issued after the body has finished
with its probing.
The forenoon executive session OF the
senate lasted three hours and was de-
voted almost wholly to a discussion OF
the general trend and character OF the
investigation, being finally brought to a
close by the adoption OF the Dean reso-
luton, authorizing Senator Bilbo and MIR.
Dulaney to have witnesses summoned to
give testimony on the subject, all ques-
lions ~propounded to witnesses to be sub
mitted in writing, and a full stenograph-
ic report made of the proceedings.
Immediately following the adoption of
this resolution the Percy and Vardaman
factions furnished the sergeant-at-arms
of the senate with lists of witnesses
whom they desire to have summoned.
The Percy faction will attack Senator
Bilbo's reliability.
On the other hand, Senator Bilbo has a
dozen or more citizens from his home
town of Poplar vile, to testify to his rep
utation and general moral character. Biz
BIO does not claim that he had any eye
witnesses to the alleged bribery, or that
any person saw the actual transfer OF
money from Dulaney to himself,
In order to sustain the impeachment
proceedings and expel Bilbo from MEM
bership it will be necessary, under sec
ton So of the constitution to secure a
two-thirds majority of all members pres
ent.
Mr.. Dulaney was arrested Tuesday
morning and Immediately released under
bond in the sun of $4,000, signed by ID.
j. Morrison, his brother-in-law, and |. G.
Enochs, one of the wealthiest lumber
manufacturers in the South. He declines
to make any statement except to declare
that Bilbo's statement is a political
frame-up," and expresses confidence that
it will be SO proven, both in the circuit
court trial and the legislative investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Dulaney further stated that he ex-
poets to 90 on the floor of the senate
and demand a full hearing before that
body, whom he recognizes as a jury OF
his peers, from whom there is nothing
to conceal, but that he would rather
welcome the opportunity to have his con
duct i'll this as well as other matters
fully investigated.
