senate, signed by from thirty-five to
forty members of the legislature. ask
ing that an official investigation be
ordered of the charges against Sena-
tor Leroy Percy, and counter-charges
against Ex-Gov. j. X. Vardaman, is in
course of preparation, and will be
forwarded to Washington before final
adjournment.
This is a renewal of the aggressive
tactics adopted by the anti-Vardaman
faction several weeks ago, and aban-
doned after the Vardaman leaders pro-
posed treaty of peace and tentered
into a signed compact to drop faction
al politics until the close of the ses-
sion.
'''7TThis treaty, as the friends of Sena-
tor Percy view 1t, has been flagrantly
violated in several instances by the
Vardaman faction, and the opposition
no longer feels bound thereby.
Mr.. Nicholson of Washington, one
of the leaders of the Percy faction,
authorized the following statement
last night:
"The minority of the house have
decided on the plan previously
arranged but temporarily postponed,
to secure a fair and impartial investi-
CATION of all charges and counter
charges growing out of Mississippi's
recent Senatorial contests.
1--WE are preparing a memorial ask
ing for this investigation, and will ac-
company it with copies of the reso-
Ilutions offered by the minority in the
house asking this investigation, and
which were not only voted down by
the Vardaman faction, but ordered ex-
plunged from the journal, in the vain
hope that posterity will not know that
Mr.. Vardaman was afraid to squarely
face the issues.
"This memorial will be sent to each
member of the United States Senate,
attached to which will be copy OF
the resolution voted down, and copy
of the contingent fund report of 1910
showing Vardaman's misuse, misap-
preparation of the executive conting-
ent charges that he has not
only refused to answer in the courts,
but actually sought an Injunction pro
cess to prevent fair and impartial
accounting therefor.
"We have refrained from taking
drastic proceedings in this matter un
til the continued dirty proceedings OF
the state senate forced us to adopt
this course.
From now on it will be fight tc
the finish, and we hope and believe
that we will eventually secure com
plete airing of all charges and coun
ter-charges before a committee of the
United States senate, feeling absolute
/ lily confident that it will result in tn,
complete vindication Of senatol

and his majesty escaped unhurt. His

The assailant gave his name as

as an Individual Anarchist" and said
he attempted to assassinate the king as
protest against the organization OF
society. All circumstances lead to the
belief that the assailant is not con-

but the deed was the outcome OF his
own individual alteration. News OF
the attempt struck the Romans more

FITZGERALD
GETS HANDSOME
PRESENT

John E. Fitzgerald. vice president of
the First National bank. was made the
unwilling recipient of an elegant Wav-
erly electric runabout this afternoon,
the, handsome coupe having been Sc
lected by the directors of the bank as
the most acceptable token of their ap-
probation for his services as vice
president. IN view of the fact that he
has consistently for years refused to
accept a salary gratuity in any
form, as an officer in the bank.
Mr.. Fitzgerald was visibly embar-
rassed. but none the less pleased with
the substantial evidence of the direc-
tors goodwill, and inasmuch as the car
is completely equipped, even to the
monogram on the doors, he accepted
it, being as proud he used to be as
boy when he received new pair of
red-topped brass-toed boots.
