(By Associated Press.,

Yazoo City, Nov. Ex-senator Bilbo
resumed his testimony this mornina
in the trial of L. c. Dulaney, charged
with bribery. The court room was
filed. Senator Bi1bo related his story
of the alleged bribery, going over the
same ground as was covered in the
Legislative investigation.
Constant wrangling between oppos-
ing counsel marked Bilbo's testimony.
After three days of effort, jury Of
twelve men to try the case was se-
cured Wednesday night, as follows:
S. R. Upshaw, farmer; w. R.
Vaughn. farmer; Lee Smith, farmer;
E. S. Barksdale, farmer; Walter Selby,
farmer; Boyd Gum, farmer; s. F.
Waterer, farmer; r. d. M. Mobley,

and T. c. Bunch, merchant.
Bilbo On Stand.
State Senator Theo. G. Bilbo was
the principal witness during Thurs
days proceedings. District Attorney
Mcneil instructed the witness to re-
late the story of his life, and when he
began to recount incidents which had
occurred during the first few days OF
the secret caucus, Attorney Wells, for
the defense, objected to what he
termed hearsay testimony, or that
part of the evidence which related to
conversations which took place be.

reference to the alleged scheme to
catch" the bribers.
The court ruled that such converse
tions would not be admitted in. cor
roboration of Bilbo's previous state
ments, but that the state would be
permitted to prove by legal evidence
the general facts as to Bilbo's claim
that he was acting as detective. The
claim of Dulaneys attorneys that con
versations between Bilbo and Other
persons when Dulaney was not pres
ent, was incompetent, was sustained
by the court.
| Arguments on this question con
sumed nearly the entire day, and but
little testimony was secured.

BY SCORE OF 800
"0LE MISS DOWNS
A. & N. eleven
Fine Individual Work OF Varsity
Team Had Telling Effect From
The Opening.

jackson, Miss, Nov. 25.-Five thou
sand persons saw the University of
Mississippi defeat the Agricultural &
Mechanical College football team at
the State Fair grounds Thursday af-
ternoon, by score Of 80 to 0.
1t was a humiliating defeat, a pro-
found surprise for the spectators, and
a one-sided game from start to finish.
By thus capturing the state cham.
pionship "Ole Miss" put herself up
closely alongside Vanderbilt, Sewanee
and Auburn, and is at least entitled
to fourth position among Southern
college teams.
The A. & M. eleven was literally
smothered. On only four occasions
could the farmer boys make required
distance on first downs, and three of
these occurred in the last quarter
when "Ole Miss" was playing only de-
fensive tactics, fully content with the
big score that had been piled up in
earlier stages of the game.
The much-touted backfeld of the
Starkville eleven failed to hold, and
was hammered at will by the sturdy
bearers of the Red and Blue. The
Varsity line, in which Coach Stauffer
had placed such implicit confidence,
held like a stone wall
The new rules were much in evil
dence, the game was replete with
punting, and only when "Ole Miss" was
bringing the ball within reach of the
goal was straight football resorted to.
Fine Individual Work.
The bright particular stars of the
game were Church Lee, the stalwart
Jackson fullback, whose sensational
end runs and smashing of the line
rarely failed to bring the required
gains; Pete Shields, whose punting
was almost perfect, and Hathorn, Kin
hebrew and Walton, whose defense
was magnificent and whose tackling
was superb. They also often figured
in the offensive plays, and Walton
played through three-quarters of the
game with a badly injured wrist, tack
ling with one hand.
Kinnebrew acted as captain, and
displayed splendid generalship. Capt
Mccall took part in the game but 8
few minutes during the third quarter
replacing Mitchell, who also performed
brilliant work throughout, and was
allowed to return for the finish Of the
game.
Surprised The Crowd.
The weakness of the A. & M. team
or, rather, the formidable strength
of "Ole Miss" as compared with tht
opposing line, was a profound surprise
