TO dcfeEd himself? Why all this?
Why for fear that Senator Bailey,
with his bOundlcSS logic and his
nlatchlcSS clOqucnce, might plead
the dignity OF the Senate OF the

"Oh, MIR. President. was any
mortal ever more completely sur

corrupt set OF newspaper owners

any other country"
The Illinois senator was fresh
and vigorous. His words were
flung sharply to the Senate and
he constantly walked up and
down the center aisle. He followed
his dcnunciatiOn of the political
leaders by n Scathing arraiSnment
OF the Helm committee.

lowing a hearing before the Titanic in
Rochester, N Y, exhibited before the
committee a model Of his new appli-
ance for lowering lifeboats at sea.
SO deeply impressed was the War De-
partment with the device that Secretary
StimSOn wrote a personal letter to the
Secretary of the Interior urging the
utmost speed in granting a patent on
the invention, that it might be tried on
one of the army transports.
Eells' working model showed a frame
work to be attached to the side of the
ship and operated by a pulley and
tackle attached to the mast. The boat
is lowered TO It's maximum capacity
and swings far out from the bow Of the
ship, being disengaged automatically
as il strikes the water.
The inventor claimed that his device
would permit boats to be loaded to
their maximum capacity before being
lowered.

Governor Mann is wrestling with a
problem which q cOlOTed mother has
presented to him The old woman in
the case is Jennie Davenport, and her
home is in Hampton.
Aunt Jennie has two sons-James
and John. James is in the penitentiary
on a hVe-year term for alleged ma
liciOus cutting.
John is at large, and if the story of
the mother is to be believed he is the
one that should be in the prison.
The old woman says that her two
not tell the one from the other. One
has q scar over one eye, the other a
scar on the chin. That is the sole and
only distinguishing mark.
James, AYERS Nanny Davenport, is
a good and a dutiful son, and he is the
victim of circumstances and mistaken
identity. She declares that James has
ever been a good boy, helpful, hard
working and obedient. With candoT
she says that John is the reverse of
James, that he will not work, that he
is given to many things which were
abhorred by James, and she is firm in
her conviction that If there has been
wrong by one of her sons that the one
at large, John, is the guilty one.
She is trying to get James out OF
hook, and to this end she has appealed
to Governor Mann to come to her re-
lief that she may have the comfort OF
James presence ia p or old age.
Governor Mann is sending all the
papers in the case to Judge Il. r.
Montague, Commonwealth Attorney
