SENATOR PERCY
BACK At WORK
State Legislature Has Taken No
Action on Percy's Request For
Investigation.
Special to The Net0s.

Special to The Net0s.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 17.-United
States Senator Leroy Percy evidently
does not intend. to have any form Of
communication with the Mississippi
legislature until the body takes action
on his invitation to adopt a memorial
asking the Senate to investigate his
election, and ascertain, by thorough
inquiry, whether or not there was any
element of bribery or unfair means
used to procure his seat in the worlds
greatest delberative body.
This invitation was extended by
Senator Percy in his memorable
speech in the Senate shortly before
the Christmas holidays, when he made
stinging reply to the undertaking
article in the Cosmopolitan magazine
and made some vigorous thrusts at
his successor ex-Gov. J. X. Vardaman,
who will be formally elected by the
two houses in joint session tomorrow
Senator Percy resumed his duties
in the Senate this morning, having
spent the holidays at his home in
Greenville looking after personal bust
ness interests, and arranging to re-
sumo the practice of law after the
expiration of his term on March 4th,
1913. Prior to his election to the Sen
ate he had a law practice worth more
than $4,000 per year, all of which
was surrendered when he set sail on
the stormy sea of Mississippi politics.
Thus far the legislature has paid no
attention to Senator Percys challenge
and it is the prevailing opinion that
the body will not request the United
States Senate to make an investiga-
ton, nor will any form of an investi-
cation be attempted by this body.
There has been some talk Of joint
resolution being presented by varda-
man partisans demanding Percy's
resignation, but it seems to be akin to
the sensational rumors anent an at
tempted impeachment of Gov. Noel
for alleged abuse of executive power
utterly devoid of foundation.
What Senator Percy intends to do
next to secure the vindication he
seeks is an interesting subject of con-
lecture. That he will insist on Sen
atorial investigation, through the ap-

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 17.-All doubt
concerning the intention of the legis-
lature to abolish the offices of the
two Supreme court commissioners,
held by Judges A. H. Whitfield and
Frank A. McLain, was removed yes
terday when the Senate passed the
bill with this end in view, only ten
dissenting votes being recorded.
The bill goes Immediately to the
house, where it will be passed with
a whoop just as soon as the Judiciary
committee can make report thereon.
The opponents of the Supreme
court comissionerships had their
hands strengthened and their plans
fortified today when Governor Brew
err, in his inaugural address, express
ed grave doubts as to the constitu-
tionality of the Legislative act of 1910
creating these commissionerships
The new Governor did not openly de-
clare himself in favor of abolishing
the two offices, but the inference was
plain, and he left the way open for an
amendment to the constitution in
creasing the Supreme court to FIVE
duly accredited members, instead of
three judges and two commissioners,
should the lawmakers see fit to sub
NIT that question to the people.

The first bill in the nature of blow
at those creatures who exc out mis-
cradle existence through trafficking
in women, was introduced in the Sen.
ate yesterday by Senator Ellis, OF
Carthage. The bill is in line with
similar measures adopted in other
states, and seeks to define pandering,
provides for penalty, and also de-
fines who are competent witnesses to
prosecution under the law.
Senator Ellis is confident that his
bill will receive the unanimous en-
dorsement of both houses and will go
through without opposition. How
ever, there are those who are of the
opinion that the bill can be strength
ened so as to bring it up to uniformity
of white slave bills introduced in
other states.
The governments working with the
legislatures of every state in the coun-
try to get a uniform white slave law.

Paris, Jan. 17.-Mr. and Mrs. Ray
mond Duncan, who created a sensa-
ton in America by the scantiness of
their costumes, have discovered that
even in Paris there are Anthony Com
stocks who hold that the human form
is obscene. The Duncans have been
ordered to appear in court today and
show cause why they should not be
evicted from the house they are &C.
cupying in the Avenue Charles Flo
quet. It is understood that other ten
ants were shocked by the attire-or
lack of it-of the Duncans, and COM

Notwithstanding the bad weather,

son, Maralchas, have chung to their

sandals-and have gone about hat

parently healthy and happy. While
pneumonia and la grippe have ragged
about them, the Duncans have gone
unscathed, and assert that they have
never had any illness since they
adopted the scant Grecian garb
In addition to complaining of the
Duncans attire, the other tenants al
legged that they were kept awake at
night by Doric music played on the

There was decided disappointment
manifested among South Mississippi
Legislators this afternoon at the con-
clusion of the inaugural address. The
new Governor said not a word about
the proposed constitutional conven-
ton. Whether he favors or opposes
the calling of convention to revise
the organic law is therefore in doubt,
insofar as a public utterance is con-
cerned
However, some of the intimate
friends of Gov. Brewer, those who are
literally next to the throne say that he
does not regard a constitutional con-
vention as necessary at this time be-
lieving that If there are any changes
needed in the constitution they can be
easily accomplished through amend
ment, providing public sentiment de-
mands these changes.
The chief executive, of course, has
no voice in the matter. If the legis-
lature wants constitutional conven-
ton, it must be called by concurrent
resolution, and not by the enactment
Of a bin. Therefore. the measure
would not go to the Governor for his
approval. However, the Governors
attitude on the question always car
ries much weight.
