Reports Are Denied.

Positive denial is made that any girl
has made escape by the second-story
window. referring to a recent report of
such an escape by one of the alleged
inmates.
1--WE have had very few girls from
Judge De Lacy's court and only one
girl in whose case it was necessary to
have the consent of the court to allow
her to leave the home. This girls father
was responsible to the court for her main
tenance, and the money paid by him was
turned over to u.s." says the statement.
I'VE have never received any pay from
the court for any of these cases. 1t has
been entirely work Of love on our part. -

Cost of Ship Increased.

THE limit of cost Of the battleship
Florida. building at the New York
navy yard, has been increased to So
100000, exclusive of indirect charges,
so that the completion Of that battle
ship is assured.
The provision. passed in the House
bill, forbidding the expenditure of anv
money for the transportation of coal
from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific
coast was struck out in the Senate and
it's omission agreed to in conference
That provision, if enacted into law,
would have seriously crippled the de-
partner. and might have made it nee
essary to supply our ships on the west
coast with British Columbia coal. be-
cause as yet no satisfactory coal has
been found in the western states
The amendment proposed by the
Senate committee giving the highest
rank. pay. title and allowances of rear
admiral of the senior line to bureau
chiefs was struck out on the floor OF
the Senate on point of order. Many
troublesome questions were involved in
this proposed amendment, the effect OF
which could hardly have been appreci-
ated. 1t would, for instance have
made staff chiefs of bureaus of twenty
five years service actual line officers
with the rank OF senior rear admiral
and would at the same time have fur
nished a very vicious method of selec-
ton among line officers whereby any
officer of twenty-five years service
could be made chief of bureau, with
the highest rank OF rear. admiral
Whenever such an officer left the bu-
reau Of which he was chief he would

duty ashore which could be assigned tC

For Mare Island Straits.

Three hundred thousand dollars was
appropriated by Senate amendment
finally agreed to for the improvement of
Mare Island straits, so that il the battle
ship fleet is sent through the Panama
canal after It's completion it will be
possible by that time to send our battle
ships to Mare Island.
An amendment providing that ST.
600 should be used for repairs to the
buildings at the Port Royal naval sta
ton was struck out in conference. The
purpose of this was to fit up these
buildings for the Marine Corps School
OF Application at that place. 1t had
been decided some time since THAI this
school would be transferred to the
tiles and the number of men stationed
there would make the school of great
er value.
1T is especially gratifying to the
Navy Department that the result of
the Senate amendments and the ac-
ton of the cOnfereeS on the bill gives
an excellent shipbuilding program.
The House provided two battieships
two fleet Golfers, eight torpedo boat
deStroyerS. four submarine boats, and
the Senate added one submarine tender,
one Sunboat for Central American
service, one river eunboat for China
service, and two seagoing tugs to re-
place two which had been lost These
amendments were all agreed to and the
result is n very satisfactory building
program for this year.

Serves Notice for the Future.

After speaking in somewhat general
terms in disapproval of all despotic
methods in Legislative bodies. tho Okla
homa senator said that while such
methods had prevailed in the House
they had never heretofore been intro
duced in the Senate. In closing, he de-
clared that if in the future rulings
should be made by the chair. which
were contrary to the Senate rules,
which would do violence to the spirit
of justice and which did not pertain
to himself alone he would resist favor
able action upon such resolutions as
the one pending.
In pleasant relief TO those incidents

The Senate. after an all-night ses-

ter before . until Z o'clock. At that
time Senator owen of Oklahoma had
the floor in a flibuster against the
bill to accept the constitution of New
Mexico and admit. the new state into
the Union.
Senator Owens complaint was that.
as he viewed the proceedings, New
Mexico was likely to be admitted,
bringing in two republican senators,
while Arizona, with two democratic
senators. was likely to he kept out.
oStenSibly on account of Arizona'S radi-

Another Large Bridge
Being Built in San Pedro

Work on one of the largest single
span uplift bridges ever to be con-
structed has been started by the
Southern Pacific Company in San
Pedro harbor, California. The length
of the bridge is 1877 and one half feet.
The bridge will carry double deck
track and will be operated by electric
power, capable of lifting the ponder
Gus mass of steel in fifty seconds, af-
fordng clear channel of 1856 feet
for the passage of boat traffic.
The new bridge is what is known
as the Strauss trunnion type, differ
ing from the Bascule bridge of the
Salt Lake railroad, also at San Pedro,
In that the latter is lifted on a roker,
while the Southern Pacific bridge
will be lifted on a tail pin or hinge.
1t is also to be double traked. A
latch operated by motor will hold
the bridge in place when it is down.
This new bridge will replace the
present Southern Pacific and Pacific
Electric trestle bridges.
The Southern Pacific company
made application to the war depart
ment a year ago for permission to
build this bridge, which was granted
on the first Of December last, on con
dition that the structure would be
completed within year. The South
ern Pacific engineers have been work
ing all of these months in making
tests for pier foundations and study

ed in Jackson on a bigamy charge,
spent his first day in the Yazoo county
Jail here quietly. Bennett talks little
and seems downcast. He still protests
his innocence.

brother-in-law, Mr.. ]. B. Ellis, on
March 10. The announcement of this
event reached the eye of the former
Mrs. j. G. Bennett in Columbia. s. C.
She at once began an investigation, it
is said, by writing Bennett to explain
why he had married without divorce,
or if he had a divorce, when and how
he had gotten it. She also wrote to
Miss Woodward's people.
Bennett claims that there Is anoth-
er ]. G. Bennett and he is a victim of
