FLETCHER VETOES
STERILIZATION
MEASURE
BILL PASSED BY VERMONT LEG
sLATURE DlsAPPRoVED-
SENATE PASSES 1T OVER VET

Montpelier, VT, Feb. 1.-Governor
Fletcher vetoed the legislative bill
providing for the sterilization of de-
fective criminals. He has had the
measure under consideration for a
week during which time he listened to
arguments of representatives of medi-
cal societies, scientists and others
Some favored, but many, particularly
religious organizations, opposed the
legislation.
The vote was based on an opinion
by Attorney General Brown, who de-
clared the bill to be unfair, unjust, un-
warranted and wholly inexcusable;
and a discrimination which ought not
to be permitted, and could not be toll
Grated under the Constitution of Yer
mont.
The Senate Friday afternoon passed
the measure over the governors veto
by vote of 13 to 10, majority only
being necessary.
The House, which passed the bill
two weeks ago by a vote of 85 to r.,
with sc members not voting, will con-
slider it again on Monday.

BOY GETS VERDICT
OF $1,000 FOR
INJURY #
PLAINTIFFS ARM WAS BROKEN
WHEN HE FELL FROM M. c.
SWITCH ENGINE.

Dan and Neal Currie returned Fri
day night from Purvis, where they
were employed for two days in the
trial of the damage suit of John Pace,
by w. F. Pace, father and next friend,
against the M. G. Railroad Company
the result Of which was a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for $1,000. t
This case grew out of the fact that
John Pace, a boy 16 years of age,
some time ago sustained the injury of
broken arm when he fell from a
switch engine in the yards of the
M. c. railroad in this city, when the
engine bumped against car while
the crew was switching.
While the youth had no business
on the engine and he got on it of his
own accord, it was with the knowl-
edge of the men in charge of the en-
gine at the time. The case was sued
out at Purvis in Lamar county, though
the accident occurred in Hattiesburg,
Forrest county, under the law which
permits the suing of a railroad in any
county through which the road runs,
irrespective of where the claim arose.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 1.-The suit of

Company, based on allegations that the
corporations timber and land holdings
in Mississippi exceed in value $2,000,-

UNIDENTIFIED NEGRO ESCAPED
CAPTURE AND PROBABLY
HEMP STRETCHING.
SECRETED HIMSELF AT
BOUIE STREET SCHOOL
Was Found In Girls Toilet Friday Aft
ernoon-Swam River to Escape Pur-
suers, Went Towards PaImers'
Crossing and Disappeared.

Great indignation and much excite
ment and determination to mete out
summary punishment upon the cul-
prit II found. prevailed among the very
limited number of citizens, who on Fri
day afternoon, learned that at the
noon recess hour, a negro man had
been found in the girls toilet room
at the Bouie street school, and that
he was the same fiend who, on the
previous day, while lettering around
the school grounds, had made an in
decent exposure of himself before
some of the girls at the school.
AS soon as Superintendent Woodley
was apprised of the facts, he secured
the help of Chief Bennett and other
police officers and started on a search
for the beast. Previously however,
3. B. Farmer and a number of the
Bouie school boys had chased the vii
lian across the Leaf river, where they
hemmed him in next to a bend in the
river, but from which he escaped by
swimming Leaf River.
After crossing back into town, near
the N. o. & N. e. bridge he made his
way through the eastern section of the
city and then went south towards Pal
mer's Crossing, at which place all
trace of him was lost.
While the others were following the
route taken by the negro, Chief Ben
nett was busy securing the blood
hounds for the purpose of the pursuit,
but the dogs were unable to follow
the trail further than the point at
which the river was crossed.
In his flight when first chased as he
made for the river bridge, the negro
dropped his coat, which, from the
name found therein, led to the conclu-
sion that Sam Johnson is the negro's
name.
The description given Is that he is
feet inches high, weighs about 140
pounds is of medium build, has full
round face, is of light ginger bread
color or dark mulatto, has a rather
thin fuzzy mustach, and wore, when
last seen, small derby hat, dark blue
overshirt, and tan shoes, and his
trousers legs turned up at the bot
tom.
Information was phoned to all avail
able points south of here, and the Of
ficers hope for the early arrest of the
fiend. s4eft Y

ROOSEVELT FROM PROVISIONS

Say "They Are After One Mans
Scalp" and Would Defeat PROPOSE
tion-FinaI Vote Expected Today.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The Senate
Friday defeated every attempt to
amend the Works single six-year pres
idential term resolution. When a re-
cess was taken last night it appeared
certain that final vote on the pro-
posed constitutional amendment would
be reached today and it's opponents
were mastering all possible strength
to defeat it.
AS the measure emerged from the
days fight in the Senate, it still pro-
vides for one term of six years for the
chief executive, and makes Ineligible
to reelection any person who has in
the past held the office by election or
by succession.
The closest votes of the day came on
Senator Owens amendment for a di-
rect popular vote on President and
Vice President, defeated, 35 to 80, and
Senator Paynter's amendment to
lengthen to six years the term of the
President who might be in office when
the constitutional amendment was fl
nally ratified. This was defeated, SO
to 30
Proposals for two four-year terms
and one four-year term, suggestions to
modify the resolution so it would not
affect Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt and
amendments to make it apply only to
Presidents elected after it's ratification
were all defeated by large majorities.
Progressive and Republicans who
declared themselves friendly to Col
onel Roosevelt again led fight
against the entire resolution. The
Progressives declared it was against
the American governmental principles
to limit the right of the people to
choose President. Senator Crawford
insisted it was aimed at Colonel Roose-
welt.
1--WE are asking the American peo-
pie to foreclose themselves from. the
right to call into their service the man
of the hour during crisis upon which
the very destiny of the republic may
Nbe hanging" declared Senator Craw-
ford. 1--WE have no fear of despot."

mo, we are not afraid of despot,"
retorted Senator Williams; neither

existed until after they had got him."
The success of Napoleon and Caesar
in establishing relationships gave the
Senate busy half-hour of debate SEN

States might confront such situation
in the future unless the extent of a
Presidents service were limited.
