Senator L0Follette had, however, told
the matter to intimate friends and had
been advised to tell Judge Siebecker
(SenatOr LAF.ollette's brother in -law)
and did so. Judge Siebecker refused
to hear the cases and called in another
Judge.
After Senator Sawyer had given his
version Of the matter Senator LaFol-
lette, then in private life, published a
signed statement Of his side of the
story. But Senator Sawyer was never
prosecuted for bribery or cited for
contempt Of court and nothing was
done except to make political capital
for Senator LaFollctte 30 far az have
been able to understand.
my idea Of this matter is that Sena-
tor LaFollette should have prosecuted
and punished Senator Sawyer for the
criminal act that he alleged, or else he
should have accepted 1t az matter
growing out Of the blunted sensibtl.-
ties of man who had never had the
polish of education or an ethical de-
velopment.

In conclusion the governor said:

tary's Allowance Hit-No Appro-
priation for Commerce Court.

Washington, D. C.-The budget"
or legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bin. one of the biggest
of the supply measures, was reported
TO the house by the appropriations
comittee. The measure carries 1884,
897 105-about 81 900, 900 less than the
secretary of the treasury recommend
ed be appropriated.
The presidents salary remains $751;
900 in the bill. The salary of the Sec
retary to the president, which house
leaders last session unsuccessfully at
tempted to reduce, was scheduled at
the original figure, $4,000
Although the budget measure as
reported by the subcommittee recon-
mended that all ex-presiCents in the
future act as representatives-at-l at-large,
at an annual salary OF $17, 800, the bill
as approved by the full committee did
not contain this feature. The bill
makes no appropriation for the com
meree czSxrt or for the mint at Car
son, New, or the assay Offices at
Boise, Idaho; Charlotte, N. c.; Salt
Lake, Utah, and Helena, Mont.
A curb on what formerly has been
a time-honored perquisite of repre-
sentatives also is included in the bill.
Heretofore members of the house
have been paid an allowance of SIPS
monthly for private secretaries. 1t
often was whispered that many mem
bers did not hire secretaries and that
they pocketed this extra allowance.
The bill requires that the secretaries
be paid by the clerk of the house.

BRINGS SUIT AGAINST STATE
SAYS TIMBER TAX LAW is UNCUN-
STITUTIONAL.
If Law Is Sustained 1t Will Mean Nearly
One Million Dollars for the Treas
ury of Mississippi.

Jackson.-Another suit was fled
against State Auditor Thompson and
Treasurer Stovall to restrain these gem
tlemen from collecting the 20 cent per
acre timber tax on lumber and turpen-
tine lands authorized by the last iegis-
lature.
The Enterprise Lumber Company 10
complainant in the present suit. They
attack the constitutionality of the law
and claim that by its operation they
would be greatly and seriously damaged.
The law is now before the supreme
court and decision is expected some
time in the early future, as it will like
all other cases involving important pub
lie matters, he made preference case.
If it has the same fate the most of the
contested laws have received at this term
and is sustained by the court, it will
mean almost another million dollars to
the treasury of Mississippi.
The tax is not effective until January
1 and it is believed the constitutionality
of the law will be finally determined be-
fore that time. In the lower court the
law has been held unconstitutional.

TAFT ON RIVER IMPROVEMENT
Tells National River and Harbor
Boomers He Favored Appropria-
ticn for Flood Prevention.

Washington, d. C.-President Taft
told the delegates of the National Riv-
ers and Harbors congress in session
here that he personally was opposed
to any scheme of improvement for
the Mississippi river which did not
contemplate, as a primary object, the
prevention of floods.
The president made the opening
address at the congress. He favored
the expenditure by the government
and the states in the Mississippi val
ley of between $40.0O0,0O0 and $780,
100000 for the Mississippi's improve
ment. He said that before all other
considerations must be placed the
idea of preventing floods like those
of last spring.

GOVERNOR SEES THE END.
Think Liquor Traffic at vicksburg Is
Broken.

Jackson.-"It looks like we are going
to break up that liquor selling in Vicks-
burg" said Gov Brewer when he was
asked how the campaign against viola
tors of the prohibition law in Vicksburg
was progressing.
The executive expressed himself as
greatly pleased with what had been ac-
complished. He did not hesitate to ex-
press his unqualified approval of the ac-
tions of w. j. Vollor, Vicksburg at
torney, whom the state has employed as
special representative to get behind
those who are said to be openly breaking
the prohibition law.
Gov. Brewer stated that it had just
been reported to him that through Vol
lor's activities a great mass of evidence
had been gathered against number of
offenders, and that in one instance the
attorney had instigated a raid upon q
certain mans place Of business and seized
$4,000 worth of liquors.
"Yes," said Gov. Brewer, "we are de-
termined that the prohibition law shall

Until Owners Shall Form Fleet
for Its Own Defense.

Ottawa, Ontario--Under the Bor-
den governments temporary naval
policy, announced by the premier in
the commons, parliament is asked to
vote S35.00o,000 for the construction
OF the three super-dreadnaughts, to
he the strongest in the world. The
ships will be built in Great Britain.
and will be at the disposal Of the
British admiralty for the common de-
fense of the empire.
They will be maintained and con-
$rolled as part Of the royal navy and
Canada is assured that If at any time
In the future it should be the viii OF
the Canadian people to establish a
Canadian unit, these vessels can be
recalled by the Canadian government
to form part of that navy, in which
case they would be maintained by
Canada and not Great Britain.
In the event of Canada's desiring to
withdraw her ships, due notice would
be given to the admiralty. Special ar
rangements will be made to give Can
adams the opportunity to serve as Of
f7cers on their ships.
The government is not undertaking
or beginning system of regular or
periodical contribution. The premier
agrees that the payment of such con-
tributions would not be the most sat
isfactory solution of the question of
aefense.
The British admiralty is prepared
to give orders in the early future for
the construction in Canada of small
cruisers, oil tanks, vessels and aux
Hilary craft. of various kinds. The
Canadian government agrees to bear
part of the cost for establishing the
plants necessary for the building of
these vessels.
The suggestion is made that a Cana
dian minister b.-5uld reside in Lon
don during the whole or portion of
each year.

MISSISSIPPI OFFICIAL
HISTORICAL FACTS
RECEIVED BY DEPARTMENT OF
ARCHIVES AND HISTORY.
FULL OF STATISTICAL DATA
Said to De Most Complete Document
of the Sort Ever Published in the
United States-General Distri-
button Begins Jan. i, 1913.

Jaekson.-Copics of the Mississippi
have been received by the department
of archives and history. The Register
for this year is the third issue of this
valuable publication, the first being pub
lished in 1904 and the second in 1908.
1t is one of the most important pubIi-
cations prepared by DR.. Dunbar Row
land, director of the Mississippi depart
ment of archives and history, and it
has been called the most complete pub
lication concerning state of the Union
ever issued. The volume presents va
ried and valuable field of historical and
statistical data not to be found in any
other publication.
The volume is handsomely illustrated
with public buildings, educational insti-
tutions, officials, etc. In other words,
it is complete and compact summary
of the development and advancement of
Mississippi from 1910 to date. In the
preparation of the volume great care
has been taken to secure accuracy in
every detail, and all facts presented
have been taken from the most reliable
official sources. This series of Regis
ters of 19O4-19OS-1912 contain an ex-
haustiye treatment of Mississippi from
the earliest exploration to the present
time The work is distributed TO the

volumes of historical publications. These
volumes are regarded in the historical
world as models, and they are used in
all the great universities of the United
States as the standard authority upon
the subject of Mississippi history. Such
work has raised Mississippi to the high
est rank among the states which regard
the preservation of history as among the
most important governmental functions.
