Because Davie was SO free with his
money in support of the evangelistic
movements, the church people were
positive of his integrity, and when j
w. Chapman, the evangelist, came
to Boston to rest after the TabOrs of
his country wide movement, he came
to Davies home and lived sumptuousiy
in the full confidence of Davies Chris
tianity. t..'
Although Davfe is at this time be-
lieved to have swindIed his friends
out of securities estimated at an enor-
nous total, it is the conviction of
those in a position to know something
of the young broker that he is penni-
less today and making his flight under
great difficulties.
For some time before he disappeared
he was making desperate efforts to
borrow money, and it is known that
a relative loaned him $500 just before
he left Boston.
Davie was married, but his wife left
him about three years ago.

LOST IN HUNTING
Toll Of Season Of 1910 In
TW2nty=1hree States

Chicago, Dec. 2.-The hunting sea-
son of 1910 cost 113 human lives, ac-
cording to statistics from twenty

The number of injured this season
however, is less than a year ago, 81
having been hurt this year, against

According to one of the most promin-

every vestige of confidence that any mem
Der of the senate may have in Bilbo's
character or credibility will be destroyed.
Citizens residing in the senatorial dis
trice represented by Bilbo have been sum-
moned to Jackson, and their names will
be furnished to the senate to be subpcenaed
as witnesses, to tell of the shady trans
actions in which he has been engaged.

chamber several times, and held earnest
conversations with Hon. Stone Deavours,
of Laurel, who had previously been in
conference with some of Vardaman's politi-
cal lieutenants and advisers.
1t was nearly o'clock when the final
conference was held and Mr.. Deavours
ertered the senate chamber with senator
Bilbo. AS they entered member Of the

dent, laughingly remarked:
