Fight With Paper Balls.

The members of the house are firing
of the long daily sessions, which have
become u 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 a 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 di-
visions, commanded respectively by Mr..
Boddie and Mr.. Bennett, of Acorn, and
that we now proceed to fight it out.
Resolved further, That nc 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."

VOTES SOLD FOR $50
THIS IS 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. o. 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 a bride of 81 900 by
L. G. Dulaney 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.
MIR. 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
II he would abandon Vardaman and vote
for Percy. Upon this report reaching
Gov. Noel, Mr.. Cowart said the governor
wrote q letter to him, stating emphati-
cally and positively that he (Gov. Noel)
was not a party to any such deal, and
that 10 such dicker 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 Yazoo
& 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 vete serious
ly, and he thought they were made in a
ocular way, although he believed suct
action improper.
MIR. 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 brib'
givers, although he was urged to do S,
by some of his friends. The member
of the senate manifested the most In
tense interest in Mr.. Cowart's testimony

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
q 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. G. Dulaney. When asked
her business, she replied, bookkeeping,
handling real estate and selling Missis-
sippi 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
Gin proportion to the crop" and she said
she naturally desired a big crop"
She was cross-examined during the en-.
tire afternoon. The cross-examination
consisted of questions tending to attack
her credibility as a 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.

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

nous Lie.
The investigation of the Bilbo-Du-
laney bribery charges assumed a rather
unexpected turn Friday. Senator Bilbo
closed his case shortly after II o'clock,
reserving the right to introduce several
more witnesses.
The presentation of the case in behalf
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 a sweeping
denial of Bilbo's charges. He contra.
dicted his accuser at every turn, told a
well connected story, declared that he
working for the election of a 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
trict was constantly hanging around his
and drank a great deal of liquor,
frequently carrying away a quart at a
time; that he made several hints that
he would take money for his vote, but
he was not in the vote buying business.

and the contingent fund of the senate
$4,000 instead of S $4,000, which amend.
ments were adopted and the bill passed.
1t was at this juneture that the COVER.
nor's message extending the session was

The senate put in three days mainly

the really urgent business that must be
enacted.

Referring to the fire on the North
Dakota The New York Sun says:
In the case of the North Dakota the
investigation should include examina-
ton Of the engineers and men in the
boiler rooms to ascertain how they had

oil fuel machinery. 1t is now said that
only the presence Of mind of her com
mander saved the ship and her compile
ment The story is that three men in
the boiler room were drowned to save
almost 600
The idea that accidents are uncom-
only numerous on American naval ships
is not borne out when comparisons are
made with foreign navies. A Parlia.
mentay return shows that between jan
uary l. 1901, and May %. 1908. no less
than 442 British warships of all classes
met with accidents, and sixteen were
lost, together with 40S officers and
men. The French navy between Aug

twenty-one major accidents 2SS officers
and men. In the explosion on the Jena
alone l05 men were killed. As matter
of fact the United States Navy Depart
ment has an excellent record for the
care of its men in drill and manoeuvers,
and the rarity of serious accidents
poves that the service is in a high state
of efficiency.
