A HEARING ON
PRIMARY BILLS
(By Union Associated Press.)

Albany, N. Y, April 5.-A hearing
on the various primary bills was held
tday before the Assembly Judiciary
Committee, and was characterized by
a rally of the supporters of the direct
nominations measure introduced by
Senator Hinman and Assemblyman
Green, and favored by Gov Hughes.
Now that the Aids investigation is
over, primary reform has again come
to the front, and the direct nomina.
tions bill has been selected as the
paramount issue by the supporters of
Gov. Hughes.
After today's hearing all the influ-
ence of the Executive and his adher-
ents will be exerted to force a favor
able report. Should this be denied by
the anti-Hughes combination, the Gov.
ernors spokesman will carry the
struggle to the floor, and then have
determined finally whether the big
boss on the second floor of the cap
ital or the bosslets dominate the party
and the Legislature.
The Governors plan of campaign
as outlined on high authority, will b,

gan his appeals to the people" earl.

ture, insisting upon speedy action.

TO OFFER INDUCEMENTS
TO OUT OF TOWN TRADE
Local Business Men Will Discuss
Proposition to Refund Railroad Fare
Members of Association.

The meeting of the local merchants
tonight at the court house, for the
purpose of discussing the advisability
of forming an association with the
object of encouraging people of other
towns to do their trading in Hatties-
burg will mean much to the business
interests of this city if the plans as
already outlined are put into effect.
Last week movement to form
such an association was started by a
number of prominent merchants in
Hattiesburg, and circular setting
forth the object of the meeting to be
held tonight was presented to the
business men of the city, a large num-
Der of whom signed a willingness to
attend the meeting and lend their as
sistance to any plan which had for its
object the improvement of business
conditions.
Such an organization among bust
ness men have recently been formed
in other cities in the state, and they
are said to have proven of great bene-
! fit to the merchants who belong to
them, as they have been the means
of attracting much trade which would
not have gone to them but for the
liberal inducements offered by mem
bers of the association
The plan is to form an association
of local retail merchants who will
agree, under certain provisions to re-
fund the railroad fares of out-of-town
purchasers who do their trading with
members of the association. The
railroad fares will not be charged up
to the purchaser in the way of ad.
vanced prices on goods; in fact the
merchant need not know that the pur-
chaser is not resident of the city
until after the purchases have been
made. Special inducements in the
way of reduced prices on seasonable
merchandise will be made by mem
bers of the association, and people of
other towns will have identically the
same advantages in trading as are
enjoyed by residents of the city.
By reason of the convenient sched.
ules on all the railroads entering Hat.
tiesburg, this city can offer more at
tractlve inducements to the ut-of-
town trade than can be made by any
other city in South Mississippi Peo-
pie living in any direction, within a
radius of fifty miles, can come to
Hattiesburg, have ample time to dc
their shopping and return to their
homes on the same day, without hay
ing to pay one cent of railroad fare
Besides this, the infinite variety OF
goods OF all descriptions carried by
local business houses cannot be ex
celled, and the nrioas arc aIua VIC
reasonable. Besides this, from time
to time special inducements are of
fered in the way of reduced price
scales, which people of smaller towns
are not as a rule familiar with.
1t is expected that the meeting to
night viii! be largely attended, anC
the probabilities are that the associa
ton will be formally organized al
this time and its plans made public
at an early date.

Jackson, April 5.-ln secret session
yesterday afternoon the state senate
resumed investigation of the Bilbo-
Dulaney bribery case. A birdseye
view of the investigation, as it has
thus far developed, is as follows:
Senator Theo. Bilbo, of the fourth
district, states that he accepted an Of
fer made by Hon. L. c. Dulaney, of
Issaquena county, to change his vote
from Vardaman to Percy for $1,000,
and that he was paid s645 of the sum,
Dulaney refusing to pay him the bal
ance after the election of Percy.
Mr. Dulaney makes an emphatic
denial, branding Bilbo's statement as
an outrageous falsehood, and declar
ing that his story is a political
''frame-up" for the purpose of injurine
Senator Percy.
Testimony has been presented by
Senator Bilbo in substantiation of his
statement, and his friends declare
that he has made out good case Of
circumstantial evidence. The friends
of Dulaney declare that the charge
has fallen by its on weight, and thai
Bilbo has been contradicted on every
material point.

GRAND JURY Will
PROBE DEEPER
Subpoenas Were Served Right And
Left on Senators and Represen-
tatives Today.
Special to The NetOs.

Special to The NetOs.
Jackson, April 5.-The Kinds county
grand jury reconvened this morning
and decided to go deeper into the al
legged bribery charges.
Shortly before the noon hour two
deputy sheriffs invaded the state
house and served subpoenas right and
left on senators and representatives.
One of the subpoenas was for Repre-
sentative Charles Doherty, of Tunica
county, who has been absent from the
city for three weeks, and is now re-
ported to be in New Orleans.
A report from the grand jury this
afternoon is to the effect that thor
ough probing will be made of poker
games in which legislators partici'
pated during the senatorial contest.
Mrs. c. l.. Neil, "the woman in the
case whom Senator Bilbo states act
ed as "go-between" and informed him
that he could sell his vote to Dulaney
is expected to return from New Or
leans tonight.
According to a report in New Or
leans paper, Mrs. Neil visited several
questionable resorts in that city yes
terday and was constantly shadowed
by detectives.
The evidence to be presented to the
senate this afternoon has not been
outlined, as Senator Bilbo did not
return to the Capitol until three
o'clock. More than one hundred wit
nesses have been summoned on be
half of Dulaney to prove charges thai
will be made relative to Bilbo's mora
character

will prove to the country at large that
the Sixth District Democratic land
slide was due to the stay-at-home Re-
publicans. They contend Republicans
in the Sixth District knew beforehand
they had no chance to elect Griffith,
and that the most they could hoep for
was to reduce the majority for Dick
inson.
The unprecedented majority for the
Democrats at Kansas City last fall
saved the entire state Democratic
ticket. Jackson County and Kansas
City is practically the only section of
the state that returned an increased
vote for the Democrats.

COOPER, MURRAY
And PATTERSON
Night Session of Trio Was Held at
Executive Mansion on Primary
Plot of Democratic Committee.

Special to The Netos.
Nashville, Tenn, April 5.-Duncan
B. Cooper, convicted murderer, and
Ban Murray, the brewerys attorney
of Chattanooga, member of the
state executive committee, held an ex-
tended conference with Governor Ham
Patterson Sunday night at the execu-
tive mansion. The topic for discus
sion was the advisability of calling
another meeting of the state execu-
ry plan.
The conference, so far as Duncan
Cooper and Ban Murray were con-
cerned, broke up shortly before II
O'Clock when the two men named
bade Governor Patterson goodnight,
and walked leisurely away fro mthe
executive mansion toward Church
street.
The good people of Nashville and
of Tennessee will doubtless be amazed
and shocked that Tennessee's COVER
nor calls a convicted murderer into
his councils to deliberate on matters
connected with the welfare of the
Democratic party. To be summoned
to confer on the advisabilty of chang
ing the primary plan is good proof
that Duncan B. Cooper had hand in
the preparation of that document In
repudiating its infamous terms the iu-
dicial and other candidates who have
refused to truckle to Patterson have
no doubt repudiated what Duncan B.
Cooper had provided for their en-
slavement Such plan is therefore
doubly odious, both from its subject
and by reason of its authorship.
