Conflict Of AUTHORITY
DURING TRIAL

jackson, Miss, March 2S.-Word
reaches here of an interesting clash
between state and Federal authorities
that occurred at Magnolia during the
trial of the celebrated Woodson Ad-
kinson bank embezzlement case.
While the trial was in progress United
States Marshal w. o. Ligon appeared
in the court room and made demand
in the name of Federal government
for the custody of John W. Duncan,
who was serving as juror in the. case,
stating that he had a warrant for Dun
cans arrest.
Judge D. NJ. Miller, who was presid
ing. refused to surrender the juror on
the very obvious ground that to do sc
would make it necessary TO enter
mistrial in the case. After consid
cradle palavering the United State:
Marshal finally decided that he would
not try to serve his warrant. Aftel
the trial ended it was found that Dun
can was charged with committing
depredations on government timbe
Hands. and the Federal saauthoritie
merely served him with restraining
order

owen MAY RUN
AGAINST STEPHENS

Jackson, Miss, March 28.-The lat
est report current in political circles
is that S. Joe Owen, member of the
lower house of the legislature from
Union county, and one of the original
Vardaman supporters and member of
the low pressure brigade, will be a
candidate for congress in the second
district against his fellow-townsman,
Congressman Hubert D. Stevens.
Mr. stephens is now serving his
first term in the house, having been
elected in 1910, and it had been gen
orally believed that he would not have
any opposition this year.
However the appetite of the Varda
NANTES for office is voracious, and
that Mr.. owen is going to try to jostlt

LAUREL CITIZEN DIES
IN A BATH TUB.

Laurel, Miss, March 2S.-Mr, L. R.
Walters, a prominent citizen of Laurel,
was found dead in the bath room at
his home on Pine street yesterday
He had evidently gone into the bath
room upon arising, removed his cloth
ing and entered a tub of cold water.
The chill which resulted was too
much for a weak heart
When he did not return Mrs. Wal
ters broke in the door which had been
locked from the inside, and found her
husband in the tub of water
Mr.. Walters had been a resident o
Laurel for about seven years, and b.
fortunate real estate investments ha'
accumulated considerable property
He was esteemed by all who knew hin
and leaves many friends, besides
wife and several children.

iBp Associated Prcss.)

Washington, d. c., March 2S.-Con-
sternation reigns in Mexico City over
Federal defeats in chihuahua State.
Orozco's success there is looked upon
as ominous and likely to be followed
by serious events throughout the Re-
public, according to State Department
reports from the Mexican capital. The
weakness of the Federal forces in the
south is recognized and Zeapata seems
to be taking advantage of this fact.
The Federals, following the recent
engagements in Southern Chihuahua,
retreated to TorTeon, in demoralized
condition and State Department re-
ports say the rebels are following them
closely. Rebel successes have shaken
the confidence of some of the Wash
| ington officials in the easy triumph o1
Madero over his enemies. They are
now recognizing the possible overflow
of the Madero government and grave
concern is beginning to assert itself az
to the correct attitude of this govern
ment There is no thought of inter

GULFPORT SHEDS MORE
Light ON COUNTY MIDDLE
Further Alterations Not Mentioned By
Senator Bond Are Discovered BY
Gulfport Attorneys Of the Abstract
Company.

Gulfport, Miss, March 2S.-Not only |
was the range number III" in the |
Stone county Bill changed to "ls," but
there were other changes made in the
original and in the amended bills,
changes that,by whomever made, have
not been mentioned by Senator Bond
in his explanation of his action.
NJ. P. Bouslog and w. R. Barber, of
the Mississippi Abstract, Title and
Guarantee Company, returned to Gulf
port last night from Jackson. These
gentlemen went up to the capital be-
cause c. A. McKisson, one of their
employees, was connected with the
affair, and to see just what he had to
do with it, Mr.. Bouslog this morning
stated that he and Mr.. Barber saw all
of the copies of the Stone county bill,
talked with MIR. McKisson and Secre-
tary of State Power and with Senator
Bond.
They examined the first Stone coun-
ty bill and found that the Irregularities
in that bill, as already mentioned in
the press, had been corrected. That
is. in the first Stone county bill intro
duced, Township "2' was changed to
Township a." This correction wa:
made twice in the bill in its origina
form and twice in its enrolled form
the terms Original" and enrolled
being used as describing the bill as i
passed the legislature and as after
ward was drawn up, as is we'll known
in an amended form to eliminate Per
rv county. In this amended bill th'
same errors as to Township - MAJ
crept in and were changed the SAM
way to Township 81" and in addition
there had been clerical error L
which Range II" appeared whe
Range IS" was intended. This mad
three corrections necessary, and thes
we're made in each the original an
the enrolled" bill.
This mikes a total of ten alter'
tions, four in the first Stone count
bill and six in the amended Ston
county bill. The alterations as
Grange II" and "13," which Senate
Bond admits were made, can be co
sidered as corrections of a clerical e
ror. but the insertion in the descri
tions of the wrong township numbe
was an out and out mistake in u
drawing up of the bill.
II is stated that McKisson's part WI
nnrely that of a clerk. He made u
alterations under Senator Bonds
rectlon and when he had been toid
Bond that Secretary of State Pow
had authorized the change. Mr.. Bro'
