Huntsville, Ala, Dec. 12.-Jno. w
Knight, on trial in the United States
court, charged with using the mails to
defraud customers of the cotton firm
of knight, Yancey & Company, testi-
fed in his own behalf today. giving
his version of the alleged spurious bills
of lading issued for many thousand
bales of cotton.
Knight claimed he had authority to
issue bills of lading and sign the name
him by J. A. Bywater, foreign freight
Railway, and J. W. Hunter, division
freight agent of the Southern Railway.
Knight said that all bills of lading
were issued in this manner in 1905.
1906. 1907 1908 and 1909 and filled by
the delivery of the cotton called for,
and many of those in 1910 had been
filed when the firm was thrown into
bankruptcy. The firm had more agents
in the field buying Cottan then than
at any other time and would have
filed all its contracts, he said, if the
firm had been let alone.
The witness offered kilograms and
other documents to show that Bywater
and Hunter knew the system of issuing
bills of lading. He said the firm would
issue bills Of lading in this manner
and afterwards deliver the cotton and
receive the agents bill of lading, which
he held until the cotton reached its
destination and the lading would then
be destroyed. Several persons testified
to the good charac cter of the defendant.

SENATORPERCY
ROASTSHEARST
ANOvARDAMAN
DEFEATED FOR REELECTION IN
MISSISSIPPI HE TAKES THE
FLOOR IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE AND SEVERELY AR
RAleNS THE MAN WHO is TO
SUCCEED HIM.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Senator Percy
of Mississippi, rose to question of
personal privilege in the senate today
and delivered a scathing denunciation
of an article relating to his election
and published in the November num-
Der of the Popular Magazine and also
bitterly attacked William r. Hearst
who, he said, owned the magazine and
inspired the article, and former Gov.
Vardaman of Mississippi.
Percy said he would not ask for an
investigation of his election, but cnal-
lenged his prospective successor to
make such a demand, saying: IF he
will by letter advise me that any one
of those 81 votes cast for me was i'm
properly Influenced in my behalf
and he desires an investigation by the
United States. I, in his behalf, will in
troduce a resolution requesting such
an investigation and urge its favorable
consideration"
Percy declared that Vardaman is
now the defendant in a suit filed by
the attorney general of Mississippi,
charging him with embezzlement of
trust funds. Hearst was character
ized as "a statesman without a record.
and a mendacious muckraker without
peer" whose bitter, malignant and
incendiary utterances caused him to
be held by the country as morally re-
sponsible for the shots fired into the
body of William Mckinley
Every allegation of corruption men
toned in the article, Percy said, was
probed by the courts and the legisla-
ture of Mississippi and found want
given the charges. he could not, as he
had announced, carry out his intention
of presenting his resignation to the
state legislature next month.

Briceville, Tenn, Dec. 12-All Brice-
vile again has an aspect of mourning
for the day failed to bring forth any
more survivors of the Cross Mountain
mine horror. The clearing weather
and hope inspired by the rescue of five
entombed men yesterday and last night
encouraged most of the women inhabi-
tants of the village, who fingered near
the mine all day. Hope failed at night
fall with no encouraging message from
the rescuers.
Thirty-four dead bodies, many badly
mutilated, have been brought out and
several others located. The dead were
taken to a carpenter shop of the mine
and prepared for burial. Frequently
time. A carload of provisions arrived
today from Knoxville and the contents
were distributed among the families of
the victims.
Notices were posted about the mine
entrance today requesting relatives OF
victims to give the company a chance
to settle with them before arranging
with lawyers to institute damage suits.
MANIACS IN MINE.
When the government and state ex-
perts got into the mine this morning.
accompanied by several local miners,
screams of the two men who are run
ming amuck throughout the cavern
were heard. The wailings were those
Of men bereft of reason, chained in
prison cells. Their cries were first
heard by the rescuing party last night
but all attempts to catch them were
futile. Efforts were renewed this
morning to corner the men, that they
might be taken before they might end
their own lives or penetrate room
where there is foul air and gas and
there suffocate. John Duff, thought to
be one of the men running Wild was
the first to suggest to the five men
rescued last night that they better
make heir escape from the mine Sat
urday, as an explosion had occurred.
Since then he has not been seen.
It is thought that he and John
Smith, another member of the force
employed in entry IS, ran to the
farther end of the mine and became
confused in the dark. Realizing their
awful condition they perhaps became
mentally unbalanced, believing that
they were face to face with death
They evidently have missed the foul
air currents and now that the noxious
gases are being drawn out by means
of suction fans in entries in the thistle
and slate stone mines, rescuers be-
lieve' that the two men will be taken
out alive unless they beat out their
mine or run into an entry which is
filled with poisonous air.
This morning the efforts of several
men were centered in trying to locate
the maniacs. The work of rescuing
others was retarded to some degree
as the rescuers fear for the lives of

A. C.L. Passenger Train is
Held Up in Georgia and Robbed

Soon after the train got away and be-
fore it had gotten out of sight, it
was stopped. He was surprised to see
this, as it had no signal to stop. Just
about that time the second section
of the train arrived from Savannah
and McRoy advised the crew to go
ahead and find out what the trouble
was with the first section. Arriving
at the spot where the first section had
stopped the train crew found the
utmost confusion. The robbers, two in
number, had forced the engineer to
stop his train and. covering the flag
man and the conductor with pistols,
they made the fiagman open the mail
car after it had been detached from
the train and run some distance. Here
two mail clerks were found at work
and they were made to give up two
bags of registered mail The robbers
then made their escape.
