Quite a number Of cases which
have been referred to US have
reached our body through the
Justice of the 9Th District at
Greenyille, and we have been
greatly handicapped in our labors
by reason Of the failure on the
part Of the Justice of said Dis
trict to send us the original pa
pers in each case bound over to
Grand Jury. We have received
no record in any case coming up
from that district and have had
: to get along as best we could in
finding the witnesses, learning
the nature of the charge and
other matters pertaining ID the
various cases, which were neces-
sary for us to know. We hope
that in the future other Grand

in this particular as we have
been.

In q knot. there are uncertainties in the

Democratic control Of the Senate Is
not likely to be lost, but there are some
factors In the situation that make the

IT is only recently that the Progressive
leaders here have heard from their New

Progressive party will have the balance
OF power In the legislature OF that
state and that q compromise Senator

sibiltty Of some sort Of Democratic
Progrt Ssive alliance which will beat

Say He Posed As Progressive.
Burleish's opponents say of him that
though he was for fourteen years a
member of the House, no spent so
much time around the departments a

he was almost unknown In national af-

Some months ago dispatches from
Madrid told Of the arrest Of the swind-

fact that letters are again being sent
