Washington, July 16--After dis cussion which lasted nearly the en- tire day, the Senate by vote of 35 to 23 adopted a modificat on of Sena- attempt on the part of a P.esidenJ to influence tae vcte of any Senator on any question, a violation of the spirit Of the const tuition.

 MaJor Breckinridge argued the mer- It's CI the Little Rock and Argenta ffee Bridge and said it was not built until 1t Was needed.

 Major Breckinrilge closed his speech with tr bute to the sons of his loyal friends of years ago. He referred to his early life here and how he jcined with true and tired friends to bring he county out of chaos and Wrest it from the hands of designing persons. He predicted that if such cond' tions as that which the Free Bridge act would lead to are tolerated it would be nothing short of en- eourasins organized graft

Four Southern Colleges Will Give Courses to Students
 of High School.
THROUGH DR. JORDAN
We'll Known Educator Will Make An. pOintmentS-lS Great Compliment
 to Pine Bluff School.

Five graduates of the Pine Bluff High School have an opportunity 10 hour of the largest and best colleges in the South. Six Pine Blaff scholar ships were awarded for distribution n the city, but one them to the Uni versity of Virginia, has been given to Frank Triplett by pr. Junius Jordan, superintendent of the Pine Bluff Public Schools, who will dispose if all of the free courses.
 Two scholarships which are given yearly by the Alumni Association of the Washington-Lee University, at Lexington, Va, were obtained for local students by Dr. J. S. Jenkins, a member of the Association.
 The faculty Of Central College, Dan- ville, Ky, has notified City Attorney W. B. Alexander, graduate, that scholarship will be awarded to graduate of the local high school. MT. Alexander referred the disposi- tion of the course to Prof. Jordan.
 The Univels ty of Virginia has giv- en Dr. Jordan the privilege of naming two pupils from the local school to study there and Frank Triplett will receive one of the scholarships, but as yet the other has not been named, A Pine Bluff boy will also be award- ed free scholarship to Tulane Uni- versity at New Orleans.
 The fact that the four large schools have awarded six scholarships to the students of the Pine Bluff School is possibly the highest compliment that could be conferred upon the institu- tion and the faculty. The awards are mad, each year and only go to those schools that are the most efficient. A number of graduates of the local school have entered the colleges named and their thorough knowledge of tn branches taught and little pre- paratery work that was necessary for them to take the entrance exam inatlOn has attracted the attention of the faculties to the methods used in the school here. :.
 On account of the popularity of the, Pine Bluff students who attended that institution of learning from a school conducted by Prof. Jordan many years ago, Washington and Lee University nj 1888 conferred upo1 that we'll known educator the degree of M. A. T
 Washington-Lee, wh oh is the sev- enth oldest school in the United States, has practically always had several Pine Bluffians studying there and of the college grads now in Pine Bluff the majority of them ob- tained their learning from that uni- versity. J. w. Wilkins, of the South ern Grocer Company and Frank Wise were the first two students to repre- sent Pine Bluff in that institution. <
 Dr. Jordan stated that as yet he had net considered the names of any of the-students but among those who make application, their records in the High School here would, in large measure, direct him in making the awards.

sensational climax.

The gambler left his home late las | night, telling his wife that he had a appointment to meet Police Lieuten ant Becker at the Hotel Metropole, a the corner of Broadway and Forty third street. Rosenthal reached tn hotel, where he was well known, som time after midnight, and sat dow alone in the lobby, smoking ciga and whistling as he watched the us ual midnight crowd in Times Squar outside.
 Shortly before ? o'clock slate colored automobile drew up in front One of it's six passengers got out ant walked into the hotel, beckoning tt Rosenthal.
 "Herman,' he kalled, 'come out here, some one wants to see you.
 Rosenthal. without hesitation, walk ed out He had reached point not when volley of shots rang out from the slate-colored car. Four of them found their target and Rosenthal fell dead instantly with a bullet ill his brain.
 Almost before the crowd on the sidewalk and in the lobby realized that shot had been fired. the tour ing car was under way and dsap- peared in the direction of Fifth ave- nue.
 Police Lieutenant File of the cen tral office staff was dining in the Met ropole with party of friends when he heard the shots and ran out. Without waiting, for details he jumped into d taXicah and started in pursuit of the big slate-colored racer. He gave chase for mile across town before his slower machine dropped hopelesslv be- hind.
 The five shots that were fired at Rosenthal attracted a large crowd, and a few minutes after the incident
  with hundreds of persons. Reserves from several of the nearby stations were turned out to keep them in order.
 James Cosiden, one of the owners of the hotel, witnessed the shooting from the rear of the lobby. He said:
 q saw Rosenthal come from the hotel. He started as though he were going to Broadway and then stopped suddenly.
 II don't know whether he saw the men in the machine or not, but the sudden way ill which he stopped con- vinced me that he was afraid some thing was to happen to him. l ksoW that one of the men in the car was a policeman
 Mrs. Rosenthal, the gamblers wife, was driven almost frantic when messenger told her that her husband had been slain.
 This is the police again!' she ex- claimed. ''lt is just what l expected! I stayed up, fearing that Herman would not get back safe
 District Attorney Whitman was mo- tified of the murder within a few minutes, and an hour later he had op- ened his offices and was proceeding with a staff of stenographers and as sistants to the West Forty-seventh street police station. He began his investigation of the murder there at 3:3O o'clock.
 There were several witnesses ready to talk to the district attorney, but none of them appeared to have any very definite information to give. Their description of the gamblers as- sailants were meager and did not agree in detail. Three persons had noticed the number of the car, but each remembered it differently. More over, for an occasion such as this, there is little doubt but that the mur- derers would substitute wrong number for the one usually borne by their machine.

Is This Perpetual Motion?

A 20-foot wheel spanning a narrow
street in Los Angeles, California, is a
source of great wonder to the passers-
by, as it appears to be a solution of the
ancient problem of perpetual notion
The wheel stands upon a frame of
structural iron. says a writer in the
Strand, and Is inclosed at the sides with
a wooden support, within which 1t slow
ly revolves. The wheel itself is of light
wooden construction, and has a thick
ness of about eight inches. 1t has nine
large spheres of metal, which run in
grooves that extend from the axle to
the rim of the wheel. AS they approach
the outer edge, their weight has a ten
dency to draw down that side of the
device. The ascending side has no such
weight at the rim, as,1bY an ingenious
curvature of the grooves. the balls run
toward the centre. Thus there will al
ways be a greater weight on one side
of the wheel than on the other and it
keeps revolving indefinitely. That this
is not purely scientific affair is in
dicated by the advertisements painted
on the structure, for the inventor has
an eye to business. Thousands of peo-
pie examined the device, infinitely to dis
cover some outside power which kept
the wheel in motion; but although the
framework is built so that one can see
every part of It, no machinery can be
detected.

A mammoth blue fulton catfish was
brought to the Peter Poest fish market
Monday morning. 1t weighed 131 pounds,
and is the largest catfish that has been
caught in Mississippi river waters for rs
