DEFIES Mr.. VARDAMAN.
Percy Says He Will Resign ii
Voters Decide Against Him.

JACKSON, Miss, April ia state
ment from United States Senator Leroy
Percy. in which the senator demands
that the validity of his election be
submitted to a vote of the people OF
Mississippi, aroused widespread inter
est throughout the State today. The
senator also challenges his leading OPP
ponent in the recent senatorial primary,
former Governor James K. Vardaman,
to enter a primary election to be held
next November.
This def came as the climax of a
speech yesterday before the joint SEES
sion of the two branches of the State
Legislature. Mr.. Percy unsparingly
denounced State Senator Theodore
Bilbo and others who charged irregular
tiles in connection with the recent sem
atorial election in which he was the
successful candidate.
1t is the plan of Mr.. Percy that the
election be regularly called by the
State Democratic executive committee
and apply to the regular senatorial
term to begin after the completion of
the unexpired term of the late Senator
McLaurin. Should the result be ad-
verse to him, Percy agrees hat he will
resign so that the Governor may APP
point some one to serve the rest of
McLaurin's term. The next term be-
gins in 1918.

16 years ola, whose enarred body was
found in his parents apartments after
the fire had been extinguished. His
sister, Olympia, was carried from the

carried down ladders by firemen. Half
a dozen children were passed from vim
dow to window to places of safety.
Several women, trapped by the fire on
the third floor of the building, leaped
from windows.
Mrs. James Cittadino, mother of the
dead children, leaped from a window
in the rear of her apartments on the
fourth foo to a shed, twenty feet be-
low. She was injured internally. She
was taken to the City Hospital, where,

hurried to the floor below and assisted
the women to the street.
The building Is a five-story structure.

and were carried out by their COM
rades.
The loss is estimated at $50, 900.

MIDSHIPMAN WILSON IS
DEAD OF FOOTBALL HURTS.
Youth Whose Neck Was Broken
Last October Finally Succumbs.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. April 16.-Mid-
shipman Earl Wilson, the nav foot
ball player, died his morning.
Wilson, who was from Covington,
KY, was injured October 16 last in the
game against Villanova College. 1t was
while making a flying tackle that the
back of his neck struck violently
against the ground. An examination
revealed a fracture between the fourth
and fifth c~ervical vertebrae, and the
spinal cord was severely depressed,
causing complete paralysis from the
shoulders down.
An operation was performed by which
the pressure on the spinal cord was re-
lieved and hope was felt that this would
bring about his recovery, but in vain,
as the cord was badly lacerated. After
a fight that has been remarkable in
many ways, but particularly in the
pluck inc fearlessness of the paralyzed
and helpless youth and the long ward
ing off of the inevitable end by the
surgeons what was pronounced the final
sinking spell preceding the death of
Midshipman Wilson began Thursday
afternoon.
Wilson'S sister. Mrs. NJ. L. Calvin,
arrived from Covington, with her hus-
band, in response to a telegram. They,
with the father, West D.. Wilson. and
his two other sons, l.. B. Wilson and
Hansford Wilson, kept close to the hos
nital and within call most of the time.
Funeral services We're heldtJ his after
noon at the Naval Academy chapel, and
this evening the body will be taken to
~Covington, Ky. for interment in the
family lot at Independence some time
on Monday.
In his order announcing the death of
Midshipman Wilson, Superintendent
Bowyers removes a portion of the re-
striction placed upon the whole brigade
for the Silence" given an officer of the
discipline department some weeks ago.
The baseball game with Bucknell Col
lege and a Lacrosse match with Balti-
more City College fixed for today were
cancelled as a mark of respect to Will
sons memory.

RUNAWAY TRAIN DASHES
DOWN MOUNTAINSIDE,

SOMERVILLE, April 16.-The driv-
ing rod of an engine on the castor
express on the Central Railroad of New
Jersey broke while the train was de-
%scending Pickerel Mountain. eleven
miles west of this place, today. At the
time the train was going at high speed
and the rod swung round with the
driving wheel, wrecking the cab, steam,
air and water connections on the side
of the boiler and nearly throwing the
train off the track.
When the cab was first struck by
the b~roken-rod Joseph Lutz, the engi-
neer, jumped on top of the boiler and
from there put on the emergency
brakes. Though the brakes were set
on the coaches the train coasted down
the mountain for a mile before il
stopped.
An hours delay was caused by the
accident. Lutz was severely burned
as he crawled over the heated boiler to
the emergency brake.

painful to tell the truth once in ten
years. It's good discipline. 1t makes
character.
The answer to hat How old are
you?" may come hard for the women,
but remember it is not to be used
against you. The census man has all
but taken his oath never to tell. And
if he does tell you'll have a damage
suit against him. That is if you regard
your true age as SANDER.
Demonstrating got away to a flying
start. yesterday. Today it is plodding
along as though it was an everyday
matter. In Newark but n snag had
been struck up to the present writing.
One woman didn't quite understand
what it meant to be censored-that is
censused. She had attributed all her
bad luck for the last ten years to the
fact that in 1900 she had freely given
intimate details concerning herself to
a comparative stranger. Never again"
she has frequently said to herself since
that time. She refused to listen to rea-
son or anything.
When the gentlemanly and hand
some enumerator reached this woman's
house today he found the doors locked
and barricaded. There was no answer
to his ring and the same thing went
for his knock.
