COUNSEL IN TILT
OVER TESTIMONY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. April So-Mark l..
Davis, Clerk of the Peace, OF Sussex
county, and chairman Of the Sussex
County Republican Committee, won
an Overwhelming victory yesterday
over those who had tried to have him
convicted on a charge of attempted
election bribery in this county. He
was tried in the Court OF General ses-
sions here before three judges. Two
OF those judges. after hearing testi-
mony. decided that Mr.. Davis was
wholly guutless Of the charge that
had been made against him. Therefore
he was released.
Nor did the case end with that.
Moses Turner, negro prosecuting wit
ness. was arrested later on the charge
of perjury and was committed to the
Kent county Jail to await trial to-
morrow.
The afternoon session of the court
was devoted mainly to the hearing OF
character witnesses and Mr. Davis
statement. in which he denied having
offered any money to Turner for his
vote at the general election in 1910.
A TIT occurred here between the
counsel for tho State and defense,
ovor the admission Of certain testi-
mony contradictory TO the States wit
neases. The evidence, however, was
allowed to remain In.
An argument also was had over the
character question which included
vote-buying, Attorney-General Gray
asking the question generally asked.
do You know the general reputation
of Mark L. Davis for peace and good
order ana for the strict observance
of tho law Mr. Harrington for the
State adding "as to vote-buying. "
This was objected 10 by counsel for
tho defense, the court at first ruling
that the general question must be ad-
hcrod to- When the question was ask
Cd again and tho witness. S. John ABB
lott replied that Mr. Davis reputa-
tion was good. Mr. Harrington insist
cd that the words vote buying" be
included.
The Court. after a consultation, de-
cided to extend the question as fol-
lows:
do you know tho general reCuta-
ton for peace and pood order and the
observance of the law with respect to
bribery"
To this question Mr.. Abbott replied
that Mr.. Davis reputation was good
hut he had heard iocularly, or other
wise after election, that Mr. Davis
had bought votes.
Several other witnesses testified
ihai rs far as general reputation went
Davis was good

Mr.. P. M. Ikeler, president of the asso-
citation, presided at the meeting.

the special committee appointed to Sc
cure a more accurate method of get

subject up with the car service or
weighing bureau operated in the inter-

Interstate Commerce Commission.
They find that the commission offers

that the abuse claimed is a general

authorized to employ inspectors to
supervise the weighing methods, in
use by the railroads.
The ten-hour law which goes into
effect on July IL, was regarded as a
problem involving the serious con-
sideration of all manufacturers. How
to meet its requirements in the saw
mill business, without working a hard
ship on labor is the question. It was
brought out that one of the largest
South Mississippi plants, does most
of its work under contract system.
paying for piece work or by the job.
How the contracting labor will be
effected by the law was not made
plain. Most of the operators took the
position, that since they are now pay
ing labor by the hour, that ten hours
work will mean ten hours pay. 1t
tiwas also stated that at several plants
there had already developed a strong
resentment, on the part of labor
against the lawmakers, because OF
what some regard as a curtailment Of
their privilege. The sentiment was
expressed by some, that this is a ques
tion which must be handled by thu
operators, with due regard for the
interest of their employees, while
guarding against any further introduc
ton of profit destroying factors.

New Orleans, May 15.-At noon the
Hymelia crevasse promises to be more
disastrous than the 1903 crevasse near
the same spot. 1t had widened to more
than five hundred feet and the water
was rushing through the widening gap
with roar that could be heard for
miles. No loss of life has been re-
ported but narrow escapes from drown
ing are recorded. Four negroes were
rescued from an old sugar house after
spending the night there. A small num-
ber of refugees came into Killona this
morning. Urgent appeals have been
made to the New Orleans relief COM
mittee and army relief corps for mo-
tor boats and skiffs for use in the
flooded section. 1t is believed a de-
termined effort will be made this af-
ternoon by Capt. Sheriff., Chief of the
U. S. Army Engineers, to close the Gre
vase.
