lieved Ruelbach, managed to hold the
Athletics In check until the seventh
inning, when they again broke loose
and scored four more runs. The Cubs
managed to add another two runs in
the eighth on q hit, a pass and a wild
pitch by Coombs.
The attendance came up to the COM
missions expectations, $4,000 Witness
ing the game. The score:
Philadelphia Americans, IL; Chicago

Which Is Only Three
Weeks Distant.
.HAVERFORD TOMORROW

New Brunswick, Oct. 21:-The
goal of the Rutgers College football
team o seems to be the New York
University game, which Is but three
weeks off. The local pigskin squad
have been pet through a light prae-
tice since the Swarthmore game.
Coach Gargan is determined that the
team shall not go stale with over
training before the next big game.
The game with Swarthmore on Sat-
urday showed TO an extent the power
of the team and most enthusiasts are
highly pleased with prospects for the
New York and Stevens games.
Tomorrow the varsity will go to
Haverford to struggle with the ag-
gregation of Haverford College. In
the morning, on Nielsen field, will
occur the annual fall handicap track
Iaeet. Trackmen are putting the
finishing touches on their prepara-
tions for that event. The scrub team
will go up against the Montclair
Academy team at Montclair.
The team that will play Haverford
on Saturday Is practically the same
one that showed Swarthmore under
last week. The student body figure
Lidt tao 6&lh0 VIII W Non easily
and it is not attracting half as much
attention as is the New York game
on October %. This Is the big game
of the season and, if comparative
scores are worth anything, they give
the home team about an even chance.
1t Is the opinion about college that
James Zeigler, of Brooklyn, who is
playing halfback, is the equal, If not
the superior, of Yule, of New York,
as a ground gamer. He Is the best
man in the back field that has ever
TWEEN here, in the opinion of many.
With him and Captain Smith, of
Brooklyn, and Henry Cooper, OF Pal
myra, who gets off the forward pass,
the back field is strong. W. T. Chal-
mers Overton, of P%lainheld, another
halfback, is out of the game at pres
ent as the result of injuries received
in an automobile wreck between here
and Metuchen last week. Ralph
| Todd, of Tarrytown, an end, may get
in the game on Saturday in the place
| of Henry McGovern, of this city, who
had a-hard game on Saturday.
William l.. R. Wycoff, of Jamaica,
a new man, appeared on the field
this week.

lously to this excerpt from the edi-
torial being introduced and read to
| the jury, unless the whole article
was introduced and read. The
court ruled with defendant and
lheld that the article should be read
in its entirety.
Major Z. M. Phillips was next
Ecalled, and he testified that he read
a copy of the paper in which the
charge against Representative
White appeared, and that he be-
came SO interested in the matter
that he asked Mr.. Rees to order
him all the back numbers and enter
his subscription to the paper. Mr..
Cunningham, representing the
State (also senator from the Thirty
Seventh Senatorial District of Mis-
sissippi), was examining Mr.. Phil
lips, and he inquired why it was
that Major Phillips became SO in
tensely interested in the Monday
Morning Star. to which Major
Phillips replied that the paper adj
vertised that it would turn up
the rest of you gentlemen. 4 and
that he wanted to see what you
fellows we're doing while you were
/ in jackson.
T. D. Rees testified that he or.
dered the paper for Mr.. Phillips,
but did not subscribe for it himself.
Late in the afternoon Representa-
tive w. A. White. of Prentiss
county, was called to the stand.
and his testimony was for two
fold purpose. first to clear his own
skirts and vindicate himself as
representative, and second to con-
denim and convict Editor Wade by
attempting to prove that the arti-I
Gle complained of was false and
without foundation.
WHITES TESTIMONY.
When Representative White took
his place on the witness stand he
wore a confident smile, yet he
seemed to be rather nervous and
uneasy, and before taking his place
on the stand requently consulted
with his counsel. Mr.. White be-
gan by saying that the whole arti-
Gle was false and as black as
hell. Mr.. White first denied, on
his examination in chief, the alIeg-
ed libelous article referred to, but
when Mr.. Sharp, of counsel for the !
|defenhdant, attempted to cross
examine the witness on the charges
laid in the article seriatim, the
witness grew perceptibly more
nervous. and at times his silence
seemed to be practically a refusal
to answer.

written by Representative White tol
one Hazel Redmond. denizen of
the red light district, after he

Legislature, was offered in evil

Jackson. Miss, charged with Grim
inal libel, was again called for trial
Saturday morning. Editor Wade
was arrested on a warrant issued
from Justice Collins Court, of this
county. the affidavit against him
being based on an editorial in his
paper alleged by Mr.. White to have
been defamatory and sIanderous, an
excerpt of the editorial being as
follows:
This depraved, black-hearted old
villain had the gall to go to Repre-
sentative Adams, of Tishomingo
county and offer him 1900 of

When the court was opened Sat
urday morning at 10 o'clock it was
announced by counsel present for
the defendant that a tram on which
other counsel and important wit
nesses were expected to arrive was
late some five hours, and the case
was passed until / 80 O'Clock Satur-
day. However, this did not tend
to diminish the immense crowds in
and around the court house.
When the case was again called
at 2 o'clock, the star witness for
the defense, Representative Adams,
of Tlshomingo county. did not
answer, and an attachment was is
sued for him returnabIe instanter,
and the trial was ordered to pro-

the defendants witnesses answered
to the call-Hazel and Florence
Redmond, two women of the Red

man Ross and Cannon and Deputy
Sheriff Sanders. The defendants S
counsel waived arraignment and
entered a plea of not guilty, and

the defendant, the regular magis-

six meE.
THE STATES EVIDENCE.
The State first introduced the ex-
cerpt from the editorial Of the
Monday Morning Star as above
quoted. The State then introduced
Sheriff Cunningham to show that
he had arrested Editor Wade and
he stated that when he made the
arrest Mr.. Waide stated to him
that he had affidavlts in his office
to support the charges that he had
made. The defendants counsel

PerCy's Caucus Election Different
from Predecessors.


/ was elected to the Senate in
the same manner as were my
predecessors, who went by act Of
an uninstructed Legislature. The
balloting was that form known as
the Australian system. There was
no secret caucus. no dark lantern. !"
Mr.. Percy's speech at Waynes-
boro.
This statement seems plausible,
but Mr.. Percy omits to mention
the most important feature of the
recent secret ballot caucus at Jack
son, which makes it different from
any caucus Of the Legislature ever
held in Mississippi or in any other
State in the Union.
At the recent caucus every menu
Der Of the Legislature belonged to
the same political party.
In an interesting communication
published few weeks since,
Speaker Street gave a history Of
the senatorial caucus of 1894 and
that of 1910. Ii referring to the
1894 caucus. Speaker Street says:
.sThe caucus Of course included
none but Democrats. This means
that some Of the members of that
Legislature belonged to other
political parties. and that there
was reasonable excuse for q Demo-
cratic caucus at that time.
# Mr.. Percy remains 10 the race,
the people of Mississippi will be-
informed that the circumstances
attending bis caucus election were
entirely different III The most i'm

election Of any Of his predecessors.

A Suit Filed for the DuIaney-BiIbO
BFibe Money.

PoplarvllIe, Miss, July 23. The
recent bribery investigation in the
State Legislature was echoed here
again today when the Bank Of Pop
laTville fled suit ia the Chancery
Court Of this county making Sena-
tor Theo. G. Bilbo, Sheriff Hard
ing of jackson and the Merchants
Bank and Trust Company Of Jack
son defendants.
The bill seeks to apply the $645
which Bilbo claims DuIaney gave.
him, to a judgment for $500 which.
the bank holds against Bilbo. and
charges that the money mentioned
was not given to Bilbo BY Dulaney,
but was Bilboss own money and that
he turned it over to the sheriff and
grand jury in an effort to hinder,
delay or defraud his creditors.
The bill also intimates that Bllbo
was furnished the money BY persons
living in Poplarville, and that it
came through the Citizens Bank.
It is known that there is some
politics IN the filing Of the suit,
but the bank is after its money.
The Citizens Bank emphatically
denies that the money mentioned,
or any part OF it, was handled BY
|it at any time, to its knowledge.
1t is thought, very doubtful here
whether the bank can make the.
necessary proof to sustain the suit.
