Fight With Paper Balls.

The members of the house are firing
of the long daily sessions, which have
become a grind with them, and frequent
ly relieve the monotony by throwing pa
per balls at each other. At times two
thirds of the house are interrupted by
the noise and confusion. In order to
settle dispute among the cliques and
clans as to which clan can hurl the balls
with more accuracy and vim, Mr.. Hood
introduced a resolution intended to settle
this contention, the prize to be awarded
by Speaker Street, who sometimes looks
longingly at the fun from the chair,
especially when some member is making
one of his long distance speeches. The
Hood resolution follows:
Resolved, That the members of this
house be divided into two squads or d.
visions, commanded respectively by Mr..
Boddie and Mr.. Bennett, of Alcorn, and
that we now proceed to fight it out.
sResoved further, That no weapon
shall be used except paper balls, and
books of all descriptions, and a member
using any weapon larger than the code
of 1906 shall Immediately be barred
from the game for the remainder of the
session."

INVESTIGATE BILBO ONLY.
Mrs. c. ]. Neil Declares She Dealt With
Corrupt Men.

After a nearly continuous all day ses-
sion, the senatorial investigation into
the bribery scandal was continued until
late hour Thursday night. The star
witness was the mysterious woman"
Mrs. C. j. Neil, who swears that she
arranged the meeting between Senator
Bilbo and L. c. Dulaney. When asked
her business, she replied, bookkeeping,
handling real estate and selling Missis-
sppi senator's She described how she
introduced Bilbo to Dulaney; how the
latter told her to feel out the weak
legislators and see if they could be
reached"
She swore that she was to be paid
Sin proportion to the crop" and she said
she naturally desired big crop
She was cross-examined during the en-
tire afternoon. The cross-examination
consisted of questions tending to attack
her credibility as witness. She denied
with much heat all the charges She
said she did not know it was a crime to
bride an official, and declared she did
not believe she did wrong, for the men
she sought to bribe were already corrupt.
An attempt to get her to name some
other senators was voted down by the
senate, on the ground that the investiga.
ton was into the Bilbo charges only.

VOTES SOLD FOR $50
THIS us WHAT REPRESENTATIVE
COWART TESTIFIED.
Several Witnesses in the Bilbo Bribery
Investigation Give Their Version
" of the Affair.

The Mississippi State senate lifted the
lid from the Bilbo-Dulaney bribery
scandal investigation and modified the
rules to the extent of admitting six rep
resentatives of the press.
The star witness of the day was Rep
resentative J. 0. Cowart of jefferson
Davis county, who was summoned by
the Bilbo side to corroborate Bilbo's tes-
timony. Mr.. Cowart's evidence proved
to be highly sensational. He testified
that he was offered bride of 81 900 by
L. G. Duaney to cast his vote for Leroy
Percy for United States senator, and
$500 was to be paid upon Cowart switch
ing his vote from Vardaman to Percy,
and the remaining $500 was to be paid
upon the election of Percy to the senate.
Mr.. Cowart also gave some startling fig
ures about the cheap price of votes, some
of them selling, according to a state
ment, alleged to have been made to him
by Dulaney, at the low figure of $50
each. Mr.. Cowart said that he had been
told that he would be appointed Judge
if he would abandon Vardaman and vote
for Percy. Upon this report reaching
Gov. Noel, Mr.. Cowart said the governor
wrote letter to him, stating emphati-
cally and positively that he Coy Noel)
was not a party to any such deal, and
that no such dicller would be made to
influence his vote. The governors letter
was produced in evidence. Mr.. Cowart
testified that an offer was made to have
him appointed an attorney for the Iazoo
& Mississippi Valley railroad if he
would change his vote from Vardaman
to Percy. Mr.. Cowart qualified his tes-
timony by stating that he did not take
these offers to influence his vote serious
ly, and he thought they were made in a
ocular way, although he believed such
action improper.
Mr. Cowart also testified that he con-
suited with his political friends about
the bribery offers, and that he refused
to enter into any plot to entrap bride
givers, although he was urged to do SO
by some of his friends. The members
of the senate manifested the most in.
tense interest in Mr.. Cowart's testimony,

DULANEY'S TESTIMONY.
Denounces Bilbo's Charges as an Infa.
nous Lie

The investigation of the Bilbo-Du-
unexpected turn Friday. Senator Bilbc
closed his case shortly after II o'clock
reserving the right to Introduce several
more witnesses.

of the senate was then commenced, and
L. C. Dulaney, the wealthy Issaquena
county planter, whom Bilbo alleges gave
him $645 to change his vote from Var.
daman to Percy, was placed on the
stand.
Dulaney's testimony was sweeping
denial of Bilbos charges. He contra,
dicted his aecuser at every turn, told a
well connected story, declared that he
was working for the election of sena-
torial candidate other than Vardaman,
and did not spend one cent for illegiti.
mate purposes during the memorable
fight.
Dulaney denounced Bilbo's charges as
"a dirty, infamous lie" declared that he
never had but one conversation with
Mrs. Neil in his life and regarded her
as "a pitiful old prostitute"
In regard to Bilbo, Dulaney declared
that the senator from the Fourth Dis

room and drank great deal of liquor.

Is 1t likely that the car Of Russia
will succeed?
The child is the daughter of the
Countess Gizyki, who has separated
from her husband. Count Joseph
Gizycki, and is living in this city. She
is daughter of Robert M. Patterson,
the well-known local newspaper pro-
prietor, who died suddenly in Philadel-
phia the other day.
The countess secured her child from
her husband after an extraordinary
series of thrilling adventures, kidnap-
ings at midnight and at monday and
wild automobile rides.
In these violent encounters her hus-
band was the victor. The countess
was only able to obtain her child in
the end by getting a written order
from the czar and paying 100000 for
1t.
Now 1t is said that car did not
sign the order. that it was forged and
that he knew nothing about it. There
fore, he proposes to take the child
back to Russia, as she is a Russian
subject and was taken away by trick
cry.
Certainly this case was very mys-
FERROUS one, even before the latest
revelation was made public. The
American newspapers contained very
sympathetic accounts of the countess
cruel treatment by her unworthy
noble husband, the agonies of a moth
ers heart deprived of her child and
her desperate efforts to gain posses
sion of the little one. 1929
President Taft Interested.
1t was announced that the countess
uncle, Robert Mccormick, recently
United States ambassador to st.
Petersburg, was using his influence in
that capital to obtain the child for his
niece. 1t was said that President
Taft was interested in the case.
Then the countess made flying
trip to Russia. A cablegram soon an
nounced that she had secured her
child, but had been compelled to pay
100000 for her Fresh thrills of in
dignation in the United States!
The countess came back to the
United States with her little daughter,
escorted by her cousin. Joseph Medill
Mccormick. They tried to escape OBJ
servation. When cornered by the re-
porters the countess would merely
say:
Il can say nothing as to the ar
rangements by which obtained pos
session of my little girl"
She would not even say whether
she had paid money or not.
Why was the countess so reticent
and so mysterious? She had won a
victory over husband whose conduct
she had frequently denounced. Why
not publish the details to the world?
The explanation. as 1t has been
printed in Vienna newspaper, adds a
new and highly dramatic chapter to
this romance. Count Gizycki, we are
told, was frantic with rage when his
little daughter was last taken from
him. He started on sleuthing ex-
petition and discovered that fraud
had been practiced on him.
Count Says He Was Tricked.
The count states that when he last
obtained possession of his daughter he
left her on one of his estates in the
interior of Hungary and then went to
Vienna. At his hotel there he found
an order from the Russian ambassa
dor, saying that he was wantet in st
Petersburg Immediately. AS be was a
Russian subject with an important pc
sition and estates in Russia he obeyed
the official order, without stopping te
inquire what was wanted of him

stated that he struck her and knocked
her down.
She could not obtain divorce from
her husband abroad. To obtain one in
America would give her no right over
her child in Russia or Austria. Her
only resource was to run away with
the little one,
So one day the countess packed UP
few of her belongings and, with her
little girl. fed to London. She let AZ
be known In the counts household
that she had gone to Paris In order to
