passed a fairly quiet night, and the
only unfavorable symptom which de-

He was unable to recognize any one

rowful burden of the relatives around
his bedside.
DR.. Pichford SAID today that the
senator had chance or recovery, but
that was about ALL It is not believed
that there is any immediate danger
of a fatal turn.
But even should he recover, mis- in

Pinehot could not be found during
the luncheon adjournment and his
testimony will not be taken today.
The cross examination of Louis
r. CLAWS was UNEXPECTEDLY an
nounced as finished when the Bal
linger- Pinchot investigation COM
mittee met today and Henry M.
Hoyt, attorney general for Porto
Rico, was called to the stand.
Mr.. Hoyt's testimony corrobor-
ated that given by CLAWS as to
taking the Alaska coal cases up
with Attorney General Wicker
sham and had to do also with the
stipulation, emitting the name of
D. A. Ballinger as attorney from
the Wilson coal land cases. Mr..
Hoyt said IL was on his own sug-
gestion that the stipulation was
made. but that as matter of fact
Mr.. Ballinger's name does appear
in the record many times.
When adjournment was taken at
p. m. 1t was expected that Gift
ford Pinchot would take the stand
late this afternoon.
Mr.. Vertrees introduced docu-
mentary evidence containing de-
malls by the interested parties that
there ever was an escrow agree
ment In the Wilson cases.
CLAWS has charged that Mr..
Ballinger's action in drawing UP
this alleged agreement was
criminal act, but that the statute
OF limitations prevented action on
it. Mr.. Hoyt said the only evil
dence as to the existence of this
agreement was an informal state
ment made by Watson Allen,
which was taken down by a.
stenographer, who could after
wards read her notes correctly
To clear up all these subjects, the
committee has sent TO Seattle for
the entire court records in the
Wilson coal cases.

Mr.. Speaker: We, your commit

acting under resolution adopted
by the house on the 22d day of

the 24th day of March, 1910, beg
leave to report as follows:
At the beginning of this investi-
CATION we deemed it necessary to
employ capable accountant tc
aid us in this work. We employed
Mr.. c. ]. Moore, who has been oi
inestimable value to your commit
tee.
After having examined the re.
port carefully which was submitted
to us by Mr.. Moore, we submit bis
report to US as modified as part of
this report, and we believe that
said report, as modified and fled
is true and correct.
We examined several witnesses
under oath, whose testimony, TAX
en- by stenographer, which we
also attach as an exhibit to this re.
port.
We find that Governor Noel has
filed his biennial report with the
legislature and call your attention
to same.
We further find from the evi
dence, that Governor Vardamar
had his last biennial report pre-
pared and ready for your commit
tee in 1908, but the committee, b
oversight, failed TO call for anc
check over or approve the same.

cation we beg to be discharged.

beans. This absence of vine and
bushy habit of growth make it
easier to cut and cure for hay than
the cowpea.
There are number of varieties
of soy beans, varying from the
dwarf varieties to the Mammoth
Yellow, which as its name indi-
Gates, makes a vigrous, bushy
growth, sometimes nearly waist
high. This latter variety is the
one that should be used in South
Mississippi. Under favorable con-
ditions it has made as much as
three tons of hay per acre, and
will probably average two. This
hay has feeding value fully equal
to the best cowpea hay.
The soy bean will make a good
crop of hay after oats and, in fact,
it is as such crop that will be
found most useful. Unlike the
cowpea, they must not be sown
broadcast, but should be planted
in three foot rows, about one-half
bushel seed per acre, and given
one or two light civilizations. They
do not do we'll broadcast. Mr.. G.
E. Hailes, of Moselle, Miss, on
piney woods land last year made
three tons of soy bean hay after
taking off an oat crop.
There is no reason why this crop
should not be successful with the
average farmer, as it has done well
at nearly every experiment station
in the South. Ask your local
merchant about these seed, and
insist on getting the Mamoth yell
low. You should get them for a.
bout two dollars per bushel. Try
the soy bean; they can take the
place of the cowpea either as feed
or to improve your land.
Write to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. c., for
the Government Bulletin on Soy
Beans.

Sow Beans as Forage crOp.

Because of the scarcity and high
price ot cowpea seed, and in some
cases the impossibility of getting
them at any price, it becomes nee
essary to look about for something
that will at least inspart take their
place. AS such a substitute the
soy or sofa bean fills the bill ad-
mirably.
This bean is a Japanese impor-
tation, and as a nitrogen-gatherer
and soil restorer it is equally as
valuable as the cowpea. Il makes
no vine, but has q bushy, upright
stalk growth, and makes an I'M

Great Speech to be Made. Every

The Confederate Veterans have

T. C. Catchings. Gen. Catchlngs
ranks among the ablest men of the
country in his knowledge of gov
ernmental science, and he has
made a careful study of the war
between the States and the causes
that brought it about. Several
years ago, on Memorial Day in
Vicksburg, be delivered an address,
which Ex-Chief Justice J. A. P.
Campbell, probably the greatest
jurist Mississippi ever produced,
and only living man who sat in
the Confederate States Congress,
pronounced to be the best EXPOSE
ton of the war that he had ever
read. BY request Gen. Catchings
will repeat that address on our
Memorial Day. | have read it, and
| like it so much that I want every
man and woman in Claiborne
county to hear it, particularly the
sons and daughters of veterans. I
will guarantee that no sacrifice
made will be regretted by any one
who hears it. Gen. Catchings was
an active participant and speaks
from his own experience feelingly,
conclusively and convincingly.
You will realize as you never real
lied before what great principles
were contended for, and that they
are living issues, agitating and dis
Iturbing every civilized nation in
the world; "and as right is right,
since God is God, right the day
must win" Then, too, patriotic
people should devote one day ol
the year to commemorating the
memory of our heroic dead.
