Adjourned After I O'clock.

Mr.. McDuff stated that the meeting
at the mission did not adjourn until
after l o'clock, and that after the
crowd had left severalmembers of the
congregation gathered on the sidewalk
below his apartments shouting GLORY,
Glory; / wonder if he hears that" He
said that for the past several days
it had been almost impossible for
himself and family to get any rest or
sleep before one or two o'clock in the
morning; that his business had been
ruined, because on account of the dis
turbance raised below it was practi-
cally impossible for him to make a
successful exposure with his camera.
He stated further that he had made
every effort to have the mission re.
moved on account of the facts relat-
ed but that he had been unsuccess-
full, and avowed that the noise pro-
duced by the dancing in his apart
ments last night was nothing to com
pare with the racket made downstairs
in the mission. In this statement Nc
Duff is corroborated by number OF
citizens who were present, among
them being Deputy Sheriff McGilvray
who went there in response to a re
quest made by the people of the mis-
sion.
There has been for some time &
good deal of complaint against the
noise and late hours of the Apostolic
mission people. There has been some
talk of trying to have them abated a'
a nuisance.

TAX COLLECTIONS
BECOME BRISK
Offices Of Both City and County COL
Iectors Are Crowded With Peo-
Pile Eager To Pay Up.

In view of the fact that after to
day only two more days remain IN
which to pay taxes without having
damages assessed and forfeiting the
franchise privilege for two years, the
offices of both county and city tax
collectors have been crowded to their
utmost capacity all day to-day, and it
is thought that the rush will not sub
side until after the first day of Feb
ruary, the last day upon which taxes
may be paid before they become de-
linquent.
During the past ten days collections
have been unusually heavy at both
places, the office forces of both col
lectors being required to work late at
night in order to keep up with the
rush, but there still remains a goodly
number of taxpayers who have not
yet settled with either city or county.
Collectors are looking for general
rush on Monday and Tuesday, as
next summer the municipal election
will be held, and the following year
county officers will be elected, and
for this reason it is believed that a
larger number of citizens will pay UP
before the first day of February, in
order that they may participate in
these important events.
Quite number of new voters have
registered recently, and it is believed
that there will be a greater number O
qualified electors to take part in the
elections next summer than was tbs
case at the last city election.

Attorneys for Mrs. Caroline B. Mar

Mary Snead and Miss Virginia Ward
law, the dead girls aunts, the three
prisoners under indictment, declare
that the recent finding by chemist
that the woman's body contained NOR
phine, disproves the theory that she
was murdered by drowning in bath
tub and brings the suicide accusation
to the front. Precedents are cited in
the demurrer for the claim that there
is no crime in suicide or in aiding
in suicide under the New Jersey
laws.
The attorneys declare that if former
decisions are upheld the prosecutor
will either have 70 bring direct
charge of murder or free the three
women, who have now beeqr0rn1k1nl

MEMBERS EXCHANGED
CAUSTIC REMARKS
Any Considerable Change in the
Senatorial Situation.


Special to The Ne,os.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 29.-When the
Democratic caucus convened at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Byrd,
of Lawrence county. offered a resolu-
ton to dissolve the caucus, declaring
it to be impossible to break the dead
lock-
The effect of the resolution, if adopt
ed, would be to throw the senatorial
contest into the legislature for settle
ment.
The floor of the house chamber be-
came a scene of greatest confusion
when the resolution was read. 1t took
several minutes to restore order
Chairman Street recognized Senator
Gibbs of Yazoo, who made a caustic
speech opposing the resolution. An
effort was made by the galleries to
hiss the war horse from Yazoo," and
while this was in progress Mr.. Boddie,
of Washington, obtained the floor and
exclaimed:
"Mr. Chairman have never heard
any living creatures hiss save a snake,
a goose, or a fool hope there are no
such creatures in this caucus"
Silence was finally secured and de-
bate was opened on the resolution
Mr.. Gibbs, followed by Mr. Johnson
Of Coahoma, who opposed the resolu
tion.
, A state of bedlam prevailed in the
caucus, and Chairman Street raped
vainly for order Charges and coun
ter charges were being hurled right

and left among members, and on all
sides intense bitterness was being
manifested.
AIcorn is Caustic.

Finally Mr. Alcorn of Coahoma OBJ
tanned the floor and delivered an ad-
dress that, in intensity of feeling and
vitrolc language, even exceeded that
of Mr.. Gibbs. During his remarks the
member from Coahcma was interrupt
ed by Senator Engle of Natchez, and
he made a savage reply accusing the
Adams county senator Of attempting
to suckle the Republican tit, and
was therefore in a poor position to
give advice to a Democratic caucus.
Mr.. Engle is a candidate for the
federal district attorneyship in this
district
He retorted with equal bitterness,
saying that he was doing nothing more
than some other Democrats in Missis-
sippi are doing, Governor Noel among
the number.
Amidst the greatest confusion Mr..
Calhoon af Marshall obtained the
floor and entered a motion to lay the
Byrd resolution on the table. The
ayes and nays We're demanded, and
when the excitement subsided some
what the clerks proceeded with the
roll call The resolution was tabled
by vote of 90 to 70. The caucus
then proceeded with balloting on the
senatorship.

join him in a little entertainment, en-
joy music and participate in the pleas
ures of a private dance, at his apart

night he invited a few friends to his
apartments to dance hear music and
spend an enjoyable evening. That

Rev. Stewart, of the Apostolic Faith,
came into his apartments without
knocking and demanded what was
going on.

ed, met Mr.. Stewart and asked him
what he wanted, at the same time tell.
ing him that if he was hunting trouble
he could find it, whereupon Stewart
made an affidavit against McDuff for
disturbing public worship.
