regarding the championship of the

MISSISSIPPI SENATOR
PLEADS FOR lEvEES
SHOULD BE DEALT WITH AS WAS
PANAMA CANAL.
PROBLEM is NATIONAL ONE
Mississippi River Should Be Strengthened,
Canalized and Levied to Protect
the Valley From Floods.

Washington.-Senator John Sharp
Williams, in a speech which was heard
with rapt attention, told the members
of the United States senate something
OF the conditions and suffering in certain
sections of his state as q result of the
unprecedented high water in the Missis-
sippi river, and made suggestions for gov
eminent cooperation with a view to pre-
venting a re-occurrence of the disastrous
flood.
He said in part:
my W people down in the lower
Mississippi are suffering hardships and
are destined to suffer still greater hara-
ships before the expiration of this crop
year. The water is on the land, the boil
weevil is waiting to get on the cotton,
and the Charlton is amongst the stock,
killing horses, mules, hogs, sheep and
cattle. The disease is a result of water
exposure and food deprivation. The ne
groes are huddled helplessly in the towns.
There is industrial anarchy and chaos
everywhere.
II think the great Mississippi river
problem ought to be segregated AMI
ought to be dealt with as the Panama
canal was dealt with. It's magnitude
justifies it, and the greatness of the re-
suit as an investment to the American
people would justify it, and l am dis
satisfied with the present dribbling poi
Icy.
"The Mississippi river does not pre-.
sent a thousand problems; it presents
one. 1t ought to be dealt with as one.
There is a great valley, unexcellcl in
fertility, unparalleled in potentialities,
and it ought to be handled in a way
worthy of itself.
"Mr. President, if it cost os much
wherever necessary to canalize and
straighten ana wherever necessary TO
revet, and wherever necessary to levee
the Mississippi as it has cost and will
cost to build the Panama cana!, $780,
000, 900, that amount of money spent
upon the Mississippi would be worth as
an investment to the American people
ten times what the Panama cana, as an
investment is or ever will be worth to
them"

BOMBS END FIGHT
WITH PARIS BANDITS
GARNER, SCOURGE OF PARIS, AND
COMPANION KILLED.
M BS WERE LAST RESORT
Last of Notorious Gang Died After
Fighting for Eight Hours While
Concealed in Villa IN Out
skirts of Paris.

Paris.-The career of the last OF
Frances notorious bandit gangs was
dramatically ended Tuesday when, after
eight hours battle with police and
troops, its leader, Octave GARNER, and
his confederate, Wallet, were blown up
by explosives in a small villa at Nogent-
sur-Marine, where they had taken
refuge.
Shattered by bullets, their house fell
In ruins when melinite was exploded
under its wall. The police found Gar
nier dead and Wallet dying. Five police
men were wounded in the battle.
The explosion left a yawning opening
in the villa, through. which police dogs
sprang while the police and troops sent
volley after volley of shots into the
ruins Of the building.
Some of the bullets ricochetted from
the bricks, while others emerged on the
opposite side, the result of which was
that two policemen were wounded.
Then, an armed force, holdmsSSrches,
rushed into the ruins and discovered the
two bandits on the floor in a room.
GARNER was entirely naked, save for
a few tattered rags. He appeared to be
dead. Wallet was dead or dying. The
crowd now wildly emerged, rushed up
and tried to seize the bandits. With
great difficulty the police drove them
back and placed the wounded men in
automobiles.

CHARGES FOUND BlSELESS
". c. BULLOCK WILL BE SUBJECT
OF A LUNACY INQUIRY.
Has Been Making Sensational Allega'
tons Concerning the Management
of the Confederate Home.
Senator Money Reports.

Jackson.-W. C. Bullock, the Confed-
crate veteran who ZONE months ago pre-
ferred all sorts of ugly charges against
the management of the Confederate SOL
diers' Home at BeauvOir, to such ex-
tent that the board Of trustees telt
impelled to make an investigation, which
wal done, with the result that Bullocks
charges were held to be untrue, and ne
himself declared unworthy of the home
and protection which it afforded.
Some time in January Bullock wrote
a letter to Gov. Brewer and to several
members of the house and senate, in
which he repeated his former charges
of several persons who, he claimed,
would su~bstantiate everything, which he
had charged. Thereupon Gov. Brewer
referred this matter, with the corre-
spondence, to the new board of trustees,
requesting that they give the matter
thorough investigation, which the board
proceeded to do. After this investiga-
ton the trustees reported that none OF
the persons whose names as witnesses
had been referred to them had testified
to anything that would tend to sustain
the charges, and reported unanimously
the charges to be without foundation.
Mr.. Bullock then wrote a lengthy let
ter to the governor, renewing his charges
and %denouncing the home, its manage
ment and everything generally, offering
a copy of this same letter to newspapers
in the state, which declined to publish 1t.
Senator Money took up the matter
and went carefully and methodically into
the case, and he reported to Gov. Brewer
on the strength of his inquiry, that the
statements of Bullock are libelous and
wholly and utterly without foundations
With this report on his desk, Gov.
Brewer has communicated with District
Attorney Ebb J. Ford and Chancellor
Thad Wood, of the coast district, re-
questing that they inquire into Bullock's
sanity.
