In its proper place in the col
umns of The Star this morning
will be found announcement of
the candidancy of Hon. A. M.
Byrd to succeed himself as rep
resentative in Congress from this,
the Fifth district. He needs no
introduction to the constituency
whom he has served SO we'll dur
ing the past eight years in the
nations law-making body, for
there are few men in all
these ten counties OF Mississippi
" ho do not know him personally,
and who do not know of the splen-
did record he has made as their
representative Indeed, the dis
tinguished service he has render
ed his country in the halls of
congress has given him a national
reputation, his name and his
achievements having been her
aided through the newspapers
/ Throughout the United States
until he is known and recognized
everywhere AS one of the ablest.
most active and aggressive champ
ions of the peoples best interest.
Having forged his way from
the ranks of the common people
to a prominent place among the
leading statesmen of to-day,
! there is not a member of the
house who can sympathiZe more
with the masses in their struggles
and demands for fair play than
Judge Byrd, and there are none
who have labOred more earnestly
or more effectively in their
behalf. In the discussion of
every proposition in which he
has participated since he became
a member of congress, Judge
Byrd has not only acquitted him
self in an admirable manner. but
has REFLECTED great honor and
credit on his district and on his
state.
He has been especially con.
splcuous among all the members
OF congress in the discussion of
the tariff and in the enactment

of measures looking to vast
extension of the trade of the
Southern states; measures which
have already indured to the great
benefit of the cotton planters of
the South, and stamp Judge
Byrd as valuable representative,
not only Of his own state, but of
the interest of the whole section.
We copy the above from
the Meridian Star to indOrse
it in full. Mr.. Byrd has
made this district n model
congressman. He has work
ed where others have lOiter
ed, and has accomplished
results not dreamed of by
his predecessors. A hard
student, he knows where the
interests OF his people lie,
and counts DO labor too
great when the good of the
common people is at stake.
1t is generally conceded
that the next house will be
democratic. This in itself
is good, but there is danger
ahead of just such a happen

president under the influence

allegiance to the republican

acter and high standing in that
community, saying that they re-
gard him as a nan Of integrity
III every respect.
In his original statement be-
fore his colleagues Senator bilbo
stated that he had planned to

take Mr.. Dulaney and Mrs. Neil,
the go-hetween," to noted re-
sort of i'll fame in the southern
part of the city to complete the
bribery transaction. Mrs. Neil
has not yet letn on the stand,
but III a published interview de-
clares that IF Senator BilbO
made statement like that" he
is losing hls mind.
Witnesses for Bilbo have been
conflicting in their testimony as
to whether Ex- Governor Varda-
man was present at the confer
ence in Commissioner Blakeslee's
office where the plot to entrap
Dulaney was formed. EX- Gov.
Nardaman says that he had no
personal knowledge of the mat
ter. and it all came to him as a
surprise. and he is taking no
part whatever in the investiga-
ton, either for or against Bilbo.
Friends of Dulaney state that
they have gathered a large mass
of testimony that will prove very
damaging to the character of
Senator Bilbo, especially con-
cerning his legislative record,
and they will insist on placing
it before the senate and use it in
Dulaney's defense during the
circuit court trial on the grand
jury Indictment charging him
with bribery.
This is summary of the fea-
ture of the case as it thus far de-
velop. There. are however, a
hundred remitications that will
doubtless develop as the hearing
OF testimony progresses and in
some quarters it is believed that
the entire history of the memor-
able Senatorial contest will be
barred to tn e public view. Scores
of interesting side lights, some
of them sensational, in character.
are promised.
Mrs. Neil "the woman in the
case" declares if placed on the
stand she will tell all she knows.
and there is much speculation as
TO what Mrs. Neil actually does
know. Incidentally, her past
career is being investigated, in
event such evidence should be
needed in rebuttal. She admits
that she has had much expert
ence in Legislative work." in
Tennessee and other states.
The legislature is due to ad
journ next Saturday, but the
bllbo-Dulaney investigation,
together with the several other
probings that are progress, are
in such state that it will be
absolutely impossible for the
lawmakers to get through, and
another extension of the time
limit will be ordered by the
Governor.

THE B[LBO-
DULAuEY CASE.

Issue Of uesfay gives birdseye
view of the investigation of the
senatorial case as it has thus far
developed as follows:
In secret session this afternoon
the state senate resumed investi.
CATION of the Bllbo-Dulaney
bribery case. A birdseye view
Df the investi gasoin, as it has
thus far developed is as follows:
Senator Theo. Bilbo of the
fourth district. states that he
accepted an offer made by Hon.
L. & Dulaney. of IssaGuena
county, to change his vote from
Vardaman to Pearcy for 81 900.
and that he was paid S645 of the
sum, ,Dulaney refusing to pay him
the balance after the election of
Percy.
Mr.. Dulaney makes an empha-
tic denial, branding Bilbo's state
ment as an outrageous falsehood,
and declaring that his story is
political 'frame-up" for the pur-
pose of injuring Senator Percy.
Testimony has been presented
by Senator Bilbo in substantial
tion of his statement. and his
friends declare that he has made
out good case of circumstantial
evidence. The friends of Dulan-
ey declare that the charge has
fallen by its own weight, and
that Bilbo has been contradicted
on every material point.
The number of witnesses sum-
moned indicates that the senate
probing will. last at least a week
or ten days.
Mrs. l.. G. Neil, "the woman in
the case" whom Senator Bilbo
claims acted as a "go-between,''
and first informed him that he
could sell his vote for money,
will probably be placed on the
stand within the next twenty
four hours.
Senator Bilbo attempts only
TO prove case of circumstantial
evidence. He does not claim
that there were any eye-wltnesses
TO the transaction, although he
endeavored to have witnesses
present.
Bilbo's principal defense that
he was acting from righteous
motive, and inspired by a pur-
pose to prove that bribery and
corruption was being used in the
Senatorial contest. He explains
his failure to make the exposure
Of Duelaney prior to the settle.

by saying that he feared it woull
cause trouble, and possibl,

WORK or BEAVERS
CAUSES HEAVY LOSSES

Colorado prings, Col, July 27.-The
builders of big dams in conserving
Coolrado's water resources are com
PEELED to reckon Wits the beaver and
failure to do so has caused heavy
losses.
In the construction of the Mount
Pisgah reservoir at Cripple Creek En-
gineer Stimson was much annoyed by
a colony of beavers, which every night
for three months built dam 4 feet
high and as many feet wide across the
mouth of the reservoir. Every day
the workmen tore it down. In order
to prevent the creek tearing out the
big dam of the reservoir a temporary
dam was built and the water turned
into a ditch constructed to carry the
water through the dam in pipes The
beavers effectually closed this ditch
with their dam nightly, much to the
annoyance of the contractors.
Finally, after the dam of sticks ar
mud had been destroyed for the
nineteenth time, the colony abandoned
it's freehold and emigrated a little fur
Their up the stream, where new houses
have been built.
During the three months of com
petition the beavers became domesti-
