jackson, Miss, January S.-(Special)
Three ballots were taken by the DEM
ocratic caucus today for United states
senator. the last, which was the sixth
in all, being much like the first taken
last night and showing that ex-Gov-
ernor Vardaman is holding his own.
His first vote was II, his last 20, but
in the meantime he had dropped to So.
However, yardaman's losses were no
mans gains, as his votes simply scat
tered about among men who are not
candidates, and when needed returned
to vardaman.
After the sixth ballot the caucus ad-
journed till Monday night. and 1t is be-
lieved that there will be some impor-
tant changes. There Is a probability
that some one or two of weaker candi-
dates will have dropped out That IL Is
the field against vardaman there is no
doubt, but there is serious doubt that
the field will ever be able to control
forces against his election.
1t LIS confidently claimed by varda-
mans friends that as other candidates
retire most Of their strength will go to
him as second choice of a sufficient
number to elect. The opposition denies
that, insisting he has polled his
strength.
On the opening ballot today Ex-Gov-
ernor yardaman gained two as com
pared with last nights vote The ballot
resulted as follows:
vardaman, 6S; Alexander, "a; Percy,

MURDERED GIRLS
BODY DISCOVERED

Wheeling, W. Va, January S.--(Special.t )
The discovery Of the body of a girl
of about 1s years old, attired in mans
clothing, on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks at Benwood Junction, w.
Va, near Wheeling, points strongly to
murder
Shortly after Z o'clock this morning
workmen discovered the body lying across
the tracks. severed nearly in twain and
still warm. Wheeling and Benwood po-
lice were Immediately notified and evil
dence was taken of persons who found the
body.
The general impression is that the man
and the woman, who had been travelling
together, had quarreled and he threw her
In front of fast moving train.
The spot was rather obscure one,
and 1t Is believed by the police officials
that she was lured to the place with
murderous intent.
The weather was zero, but the woman
could not have been frozen to death as
she wore an abundance Of male clothing
