existence of such a record, and that
such record had been lost or Destroy
ed. In consequence there was no
legal foundation for the introduction
OF secondary evidence to prove the
actual existence Of such lost or
destroyed record OF naturalization.
The contestee on the o5th day OF
November, 1900, on the evening of
general election of that year, at
which time the said contestee was a
candidate, fled q petition and affida-
Wit, which appears ON pages 443 and
444 of the record. and an order was
made by the circuit court of Cabbell
county, West Virginia, declaring that
:sthe said James A. Hughes be, and
he Is hereby, declared to be a natu.
rallied citizen Of the United States. !"
The proceeding in the West vir-
ginia court was, however, wholly
void. If it be considered from the
viewpoint of proceeding to natural
ize the applicant in the first Instance,
it failed, because there was mo effort
to produce the witnesses required by
the Revised Statutes Of the United
States to authorize naturalization In
the first instance. 1t obviously fadl-
ed as an effort to penpetrate an al
legged existing naturalization because
the courts of one state have no power
By nunc pro tune order or other
wise to perfect or cure defects in an
original order or decree Of the court
of another state, nor can the court
of one state by any supplemental
proceedings perpetuate the missing
records of the court of another state.
The contestee, il not now citizen
can not become one for i've years,
and the seriousness Of the question
dmpelled the committee to direct the
taking Of additional testimony on the
question of his citizenship. AS re-
suit Of that course it was proved by
the contestee by competent and legal
evidence that there was at one time
in existence legal and sufficient cer-
tificate of naturalization issuing from
the court in Ashland, KY, in which
he claimed in his answer in this con-
test to have been naturalized The
original existence Of this certificate
having been proved it was legally
competent for the contestee to prove
its contents by oral evidence. The
committee feels that this has been
satisfactorily done, and In view of
the fact the contestee since his alleg-
ed naturalization has served as
Of the Legislature of the
state of Kentucky, as member of
the state senate of the State Of West
Virginia, and for IL years member
of the House of Representatives OF
the United States, his citizenship has
been sufficiently established in ac-
cordance with the presidents OF THE
House, to prevent a denial to him Of
a seat as a representative from the
state of West Virginia in the present
Congress In consequence we report
the adoption of the following resolu-
tion:
Resolved, that James A. Hughes
was elected a Representative In the
sixty-second Congress from the Fifth
district Of West Virginia, and rs en-
titled ito seat therein.

Maud Iroler, the girl whom the de-

ton that she had knowingly given
not the faintest idea that she was be-
ing followed until after Sidna Allen
was arrested. Speaking of his own
part in the affair Iroler said:

to Oscar Mundy concerning the rela-
ton OF my daughter and Wesley Ed
wards, and of their meeting after the
Hillsville shooting, but did not
know at that time that Mundy was
in any way connected with the Bald
win agency.
81 have been greatly incensod at
the report that was helping the
Baldwins in order to get the reward.
81 did not want the reward at all,
and at first refused to have any
thing to do with it. Mr.. Baldwin,
however, pressed it upon me and |
finally consented to take it."

now Mrs. Mundy, she having been
twice married.

Winnsboro, Sept. 2S.-After about
two hours deliberation the jury in
the case Of Hattie e. Bennett, admin
istratrix, against the Southern Rail-
way Company returned verdict FOR
$4,000. The case was tried under
the Federal statute and Is probably
one Of the few to be tried under this
law instead Of the South Carolina
statute. The action was for $75, 900
for damages alleged to have been sus-
tanned by the negligent killing Of
plaintiffs husband in wreck near
PARIS on August goth, 1911. The
Judge took under advisement the

In the last ten years the Indians have
been required to allot three hundred

lands unallotted to the amount of
two million, nine hundred acres be-
longing to the Chickasaw and Choc-
taw Indians.
AS stated before. these lands will
be sold to the highest bidder, and the
majority of the lands to be sold are
as fine as there is in the State.
