GOVERNOR NOEL WILL CALL

BOND ISSUE The CAUSE
Governor Contends That Reputation
And Credit Of the State Are at
Stake for Failure to Pay Back In
terest on Recent Issue.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2S.-An extra
session of the Mississippi Legislature
will be called some time within the
next ten days. A rumor was astir all
day yesterday among men who should
know, that the Governor had ordered
an extraordinary session for the ex-
press purpose of paying the bonds is
sued and sold by the state.
In answer to direct question
whether or not the extra session was
ordered, Governor Noel said: mo, /
have not ordered the extra session
yet, but have the matter under advise
ment and will let you know definitely
within ten days. The way the
rumor got circulated was that
a member of the Legislature told
me he intended to resign, but if in
tended to call a special session he
would not. told him not to resign"
Continuing, the Governor said in
part: There would have been an
extra session of the Legislature a
year ago had any objection been raised
to selling the 100000 bonds at face
value purchasers getting all interest
from the date of the bonds, July 1st,
1910. None could have been legally
sold except by the assent of each of
three officials representing the State:
myself, the Treasurer and the Audi
tor, concurrence of the three being
necessary to making a sale Any sale
without such concurrence would have
been void. The terms under which
the bonds were being offered and sold
were published in all the Jackson and
other nearby city papers. All legisla-
tors were informed by personal letters
and asked to make objections If they
had any to the terms of the sale. Not
a single objection was made until all
the bonds had been sold, nor until the
next year, and only one objection was
then made.
"As decided by the Supreme court,
and announced in unanimous opin-
ion overruling the suggestion of error.

court that the bonds were sold in good

took office he would see that he got

MAYOR CUTCHIN ON TRIAL.

The trial of Mayor Joel II. Cutchin,
of Roanoke, charged with malfeasance
and misfeasauce in Office, began in the
Corporation Court OF that city yester-
day. with Judge Mullen, of Petersburg,
presiding, and throughout the day al
most every point Of Law was decided in
favor of the defendant.
The first question discussed at the
opening of the case was whether or not
the mayor should be given trial By
Jury. aud this was ruled upon in favor
OF the defense. The commonwealth
objected to a trial by jury.
Attorneys for the defense argued at
length for the quashing of The 1e
charges against the mayor. One Of
the grounds for the argument TO quash
is that the greater portion Of the alleged
misconduct is said to have transplred
during the term Of Office previous to
the present one. When court adjourned
lale yesterday afternoon Judge Mullen
announced that he would give several
rulings this morning, at which time the
jury will be chosen also.
Brilliant counsel is engaged in the
case, including Marshall Mccormick.
Of Roanoke; H. NJ. Smith, OF Rich
mond, and John L. kee, OF Lynchburg.
The arguments yesterday were all based
upon the law governing procedure in
the case. 1t will probably be Monday
before the evidence is gone into.

Of these ideas from ancient times concerns

Clothes last longer with no boiling to
