-FOUR CONVENTIONS
HELD IN COLUMBIA
ON FEBRUARY SIXTH
TWO SPoRTSMEN AND TWO MORE
FOR THE ROADS-TRANS-
STATE HIGHWAY.
To BIZ ANOTHER Big NULL DAY
Confederate .Bivouae Meets In Regu-
lar Session, the Pastors of Column
-bia Hold Meeting, and Several
other Things Come Up Then.

There will be no less than four con-
ventions held in this city on the first
Monday in February. OF these two
will be for the purpose of stimulating
enthusiasm in good roads, although
they have been called by different
parties. Two others will be for the
sportsmen of the ,county-one for the
fox hunters and the other for the Mid
die Tennessee Fish and Game Asso-
citation.
The Confederate bivouac will hold
its regular meeting on first Monday,
as will the Columbia pastors associ-
alton, which was only recently organ
lied.
It Is expected that the mule business
here will be very great on that day,
as the first Monday in February Of
last year set a record that has not SO
far been edualled for the volume of
mule business done in Maury county.
During the month just passed, how
ever, the mule business in the county
has been very heavy, and this will
probably detract slightly from the
amount of business that would other
wise be done during the day.
The legislative committee OF the
Middle Tennessee Fish and Game AS
sociation met Wednesday night, and
the bill which they drafted at the
meeting will be presented to the as
sociation Monday for ratification.
The fox hunters of this and the i'm
mediate adjoining ounties will meet
and perfect a permanent organization.
Bylaws and constitution Of the as
ISOLATION will be drafted, and it is
thought that plans for a great fox
meet which may be held here during
May will be presented to the meeting.
Since its organization on the first
Monday in January, this association
has been recruited with several new
members, and 1t is expected by the
leaders in the movemspt that there
will be a large attendance Of those
interested in the sport. Maury coun.
ty is recognized as one Of the best
counties in the State in which to hunt
foxes, and its natural advantages for
the sport of following the hounds has
drawn many hunters here from other
parts Of the country.
In pursuance to q call issued We'd

pointed to call a melting here for the
first Monday to discuss ways and
means of securing the passage Of the
great Bristol-to- Memphis translate
highway through this ounty, mass
meeting of the citizens of Maury coun-
ty will convene at 1870 o'clock in the
court house. Interest In this great
public road is steadily growing
throughout the country, and this meet
ing will doubtlessly be greatly attend
ed.
Another meeting will be held here,
which will discuss certain proposed
amendments to the present Maury
county road laws. This meeting has
been called by John M. Burns, chair
man ne Patterson executive COM
mittee, and w. 8. Williams, secretary
Of that organization.

CONTINUES STORY OF ALLEGED
CORRUPTION IN SENATOR
LoRiMER's ELECTION

Washington, July 15.-Governol
Charles s. Deneen, of Illinois. who fig
ured in the Lorimer senatorial fight,
again testified today before the senate
Lorimer investigating committee.
Governor Deneen said that before

of the Chicago Tribcne, suggested to
him that a special session of the legis-
lature be called to consider the Lori
mer case The witness said that at
a. consultation with his advisers, how
ever, the conclusion was reached that
the investigating committee would
probably consit of men who were gull
ty and the special session was not
called.
Representative Whites reference in
his alleged confession to the loss to
the corruption Jack pot, because of
the governor vetoing "one" bill, was
taken up. Governor Deneen said he
had examined his veto and guessed"
White was referring to the corpora
tion bill," revising the corporation

said he vetoed it because it allowed
"a barber shop to incorporate and buy
a railroad" The witness said a large
number of the leading lawyers of the
state had seen him in behalf of the
bill.
did Mr.. Bancroft, general counsel
Of the International Harvester com
pany, see you about not vetoing the
bill?" asked Mr.. Hanecy.
'I do not recall whether he called
before or after the bill was passed"
the witness replied. He added that
he did not know whether Bancroft
favored the features of the bill which
were Objectionable to him, Deneen.

RABBI RAlslN TO REsIeN2

While nothing to that effect has
been heard from Rabbi Jacob S. Raj
sin, it is believed by some of the
members of Congregation Montefiore,
of which he is pastor, that he is con-
tcmplating resigning. Rabbi Raisin
is at present in Brooklyn, N. Y, visit
ing his mother and other relatives.
Since the death of his father, which
occurred several months ago, Rabbi
Raisin's presence in Brooklyn has
been required by his mother. Should
he give up his pastorate here it
would be in order to be with his
mother. Rabbi Raisin is popular with
the people of Las Vegas and is be-
loved by his congregation, every
of which entertains the hope
that he will return at the expiration
Of his vacation.

II have not given a definite opinion
that the statute of limitation has eX-

still under investigation in so far as
it relates to the alleged combination
of bidders in the coal proposition"
Delegate Wickersham of Alaska

statement that Delegate Wickersham

more than a year ago, evidence Of an
alleged bribing of United States
district attorney by the Katalka COM

Alaska syndicate.
"T have evidence" declared Dele
