the Tigers is said to have several
men he would like to trade, but the
Detroit owner is known in American
league circles as keen snapper and
the other magnates, will look little

ositions he may make. Detroit has in
the past secured a number of good
men for a song, including Rossman
and Pitcher Edward Lillian from
Cleveland.
The list of American league dates,
which has been approved by the joint
schedule committee of the two major
leagues, is said to be about the best
yet. A few minor changes may be
made before the magnates ratify the
schedule, but these are not likely to
effect any important holiday or Sun
day dates. Altogether the layout of
dates is an excellent one through the
allowing of Sunday baseball in the
four western cities, where there were
only three previous to the lifting of
the ban at Cleveland late last season.

plans there are some alterations and
improvements over the idea the Trus.

these is the erection of two dormi.

Despite the fact that the measure

committee with a favorable report II
was ruthlessly slaughtered. Some of
The members of that committee who
voted the favorable report did not
even vote in its favor on third read
ing.
The debate was short, sharp and de.
cisive' Hardly had the third reading
been finished when members literal
ly Jumped on it with both feet. and It
was apparent from the first that the
advocates of an Appellate court were
leading a forlorn hope.
The decisive defeat is rendered all
the more surprising by reason of the
TACT that Ex-Gov. Vardaman made a
strenuous effort to secure its pas
sage. having given out an interview
fayoring the measure, and also per-
sonally urging his followers to vote
for the bill
The senate then proceeded to ad-
minister another rebuff to Governor
Brewer when a message was received
from the executive office urging that
the elective judiciary amendments
not be inserted in the constitution.
The senate proceeded to pass the
house concurrent resolution inserting
the amendment, and Capt. Burkitt Of

DoINGs OF DAY IN CITY COURT.

About half dozen little negro boys
were arrested yesterday afternoon
and lodged in the city Jail on the
charge of fighting. These cases were
continued until tomorrow. Another
drayman was fined 81 and costs for
leaving his horse unhitched. Charles
Myers and Slyva Ray received So and
costs for assault and battery and two
drunks were fined. Things around
the city court have been little quiet
since the recent raids made on sev
eral notorious dives, and numbers of
undesirable citizens have been given
notice to depart to other scenes,
where the law is lax and police vigil
ance not so strict as here in Hatties-

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 14.-Contrary
to yesterdays report, Governor Brew

the Attorney-Genera of the proceed
ings instituted by his predecessor
Hon. s, s. Hudson, to compel an &C.

legged to have been misused, misap.

Gov. Brewer simply sidesteps the
request of Attorney General Collins for

has no authority whatever in the mat

As this puts the matter squarely
back to the Attorney Generals office
1t is presumed that the incumbent OF
that office will now confer with Judge
L.. Brame, associate counsel for the
state who was employed by Gov
Noel, and>then issue instructions fol-
dismissal of the suit.

Senate Ratifies Amendment.

Jackson Miss. Feb. 14.-Insofar as
the elective judiciary amendment is
concerned. in making the measure a
part of the constitution, Governor
Brewer is of the opinion that the
), measure will be declared null and
void when submitted to a test in the
courts. The alleged unconstitutional
ty of the amendment is based on the
fact that more than one subject Is in
corporated therein, in violation of Sec
ton 279 of the constitution, which
provides that when more than one
amendment is submitted they must be
proposed separately.
Before the amendment becomes ope-
rative a test suit will be brought in
the courts and carried to the Supreme
court for final decision before the
close of the present term.
The defeat of the Appellate court
bill is a matter of deep regret to Gov
ernor Brewer. He had urged the
adoption of this adjunct of the judici-
ary system in his inaugural address,
and all of his personal friends were
presumably lined up in its favor. Last
week the bill was brought up for de-
hate in the house, and only 2S votes
we're cast in its favor. The influence
.of Ex-Governor Vardaman was then
enlisted and his Saturday night In
terview. it was hoped, would cause
his followers to change their views
But, "the best laid schemes OF mice
