Of NEW BILLS
At CONGRESS- OPENING
Many Old Measures and About
1900 Original Ones Thrown
Into House Hooper,

MANY old measures and about 1900
new ones are found in the enormous
lineup of bills which the new Congress
has dumped into the hopper. There are
SO many bills on the House side that
Col. Hughes. the new Journal clerk, has
not yet recovered from the shock he
received when 1,J0o private pension bills
were showed into his office for recording
and shaping up for the government print
ing office. The document rooms had re-
ceived only handful of the bills yes
terday afternoon and today they are
coming in rather slowly from the big
print shop.
There are enough bills introduced a.
ready to keep a Congress busy for
months, if all the bills should receive
favora BILE committee action, but ii is
foreordained that many of them will be
tucked away in committee rooms and
stay there for the whole session.
Relief for Flood Sufferers.
However, some of the measures will
of the flood sufferers will receive early
attention Representative Cox of In
diana has presented a bill calling for
~
his state. Representative Cullop of the
same state has introduced A similar
bill for half n million dollars TO be
spread over Indiana and Ohio TO pur-
chase subsistence and food.

sippi in "A bill which characterizes the
Mississippi river a. the nations drain

lion dollar measure for continuing
the Improvement of the Mississippi

mouth of the Ohio river. including er-
penses Of the Mississippi river com
mission. with ii view TO securing
nine-foot channel prevent
ing the river banks from caVing anu

Representative Cullop proposes a
five hundred thousand dollar dwell

JUDGE DECLINES
 TO HEAR TRIAL
LEGAL TANGLE IN HOBBS BRlR- FRY TRIAL COMPLICATED BY
 JUDGES DECLARATION.
Claimed Trial Judge Had No Right to Recuse Himself on Account of Ex. pration of Term.

Nicksburg, Miss, Dec. 1.-The maze of legal complications involved in the trial of c. A. Hobbs. state senator, indicted with Lieutenant Governor Theodore Bibo, on the charge of soliciting and accepting bribes, were further entangled la.e today when A. w. Shands, appointed special judge by Governor Earl Brewer took the bench and announc- ed that he was not legally qualified to serve as a successor to Judge Henry c. Mounger, who had recused himself The trial went over until tomorrow.
 The announcement was a surprise to the attorneys both for the prosecu- ton and defense and the large nun. Der of spectators crowded into the court room, expecting the trial to proceed. After expressing his opinion Mir. Shands called on Judge Mounger 10 relieve him, descended from the bench and departed for his home in Sardis, Miss.
 Judge Mounger had recusod himself because of his opinion tha. the trial would extend over his term as judge, which expires with the present month The defense filed a bill of exceptions to the action of Judge Mounger and objected to Mr. Shands presiding When Judge Mounger resumed the bench the prosecution announced it's readiness but J. w Cassidy, for the defense, in view of The recusation, questioned the judges right to pro- ceed. Exception was taken.
 Judge Mounger, however, received from the sheriff a report of service upon witnesses, ordered writs of at tachment and $l00 fines for those ab- sent, and at a late hour adjourned court until tomorrow.
 In the brief time he was on the bench Mir. Shands said that it was his opinion that trial judge did not have the right to recuse himself under the statutes which provide that a judge must be either incapacitated or in and that Judge Mounger was neither Holding this opinion, Mir Shands said the appointment of special judge was illegal, therefore he was no. legally qualified to serve.
 Judge Mounger said later that he

LITTLE ROCK AND THE FAIR.

There is no doubt but that many citizens of Little Rock are giving se- rious consideration to taking over the Arkansas State Fair from Hot Springs, of course after an amicahle arrangement can be made with the directors and stockholders here.
 Good, solid citizens Of Hot Springs have inaugurated and sustained thls State Fair They have put their money in it. not with a view Of re- ceiving direct profits. The fair has done a whole lot of good for Hot Springs and tor Arkansas. its Dene- fits and advantages are too far reach ing to be enumerated mere.
 Expressions Of cltlzens nere lndi- cate that they would not be adverse to having the Arkansas State Far Lass to Little Rock If the institution VIII De maintained on the increasing grandeur that has marked its recur- renee here.
 But some action should be taken soon If We are to keep the fair here we must get behind it and outline the work of another year even before this has passed into history. If we are to let the fair pass to other hands, the other hands should be "on the job at even a more early date. Wouldn't 1t be opportune to have a decision reached in the matter. so that tho public would know what is to De done?

KELLOGG RELATES
 HIS COMPOSITIONS
TELLS HOW HE PROMOTED SONGS AND POEMS FOR THE
 MUSES OF THE COUNTRY.
Elevator Boy Had Dreams of 5ecom- ing Another Shakespeare but Had His Visions Shattered.

New York, Dec. 1.-The state closed it's case late this afternoon against Robert Kellogg, erstwhi!e piano salesman charged with using the mails to defraud writers of song poems. William Miller of the copy right office in Washington testified that records showed The defendant had copyrighted but seven poems sent by clients whereas his agree ment called for copyrighting each.
 Kellogg then took the stand in his own defense.
 Many composers of popular songs, Kellogg testified, have the gif. of music but are not musicians. "Often the best they can do." he said, lis to pick out music for their songs on piano with one finger 1 revise the music of such compositions and put it in.o good condition. The writing of music is an inspiration and it sometimes takes weeks to write the music for even a popular song. I wrote about 1,200 songs during the five years. My receipts amounted to about $500 a month"
 Several witnesses who sen their poems to Kellogg testified in his be- half Among them was John B. Van, an elevator starter ''Tt is q great mystery where my inspiration comes from" he said 'I prefer writing po- etry to elevator staring. but elevator starting is more certain in it's pay"
 The titles of some of the songs sent to Kellogg as testified to by wit nesses who asserted they were satis- fled with his publishing efforts were 'Ia Grippe, Kerolhu," "The Drunk ards Pay The Millionaires Grief When My Mother Used the Slipper and Under the Old Mans Table Again"

LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS

A snrvey of the district laid waste by fire only as recently as September ,. reveals the fact that the rebuilding has not been nearly so slow as nad been predicted by many who are well informed on local affairs.
 The fact that this fire followed another almost equally as disastrous only seven years before, was the basis of the prophecy that Hot Springs would be slow to rebuild"
 It is true there Is not the great rush to restore property now that existed following the former big flre, but there may be many reasons TOT this other than doubt as to the man cial propriety in rebuilding.
 In many instances the rebuilding is to be along more suDstantial lines, which requires time to arrange Tor. In other instances the rebuilding is delayed until the coming summer months on account Of climatic condi- tlons--the weather having been most uncertain since the day following the coniiagration.
 So, taking all the circumstances in- to consideration, there 1s not any sloth manifested in the rebuilding, but, on the other hand, the rebuildln g is making a substantial progress, in- stead of a mushroom progress, and the resort will be better for the rlre, after the evil effects are outlived.

WHOLE WORLD WENT
 MAD ON WIRELESS
WHEN JACK BlNN SAVED THE PASSENGERS OF THE REPUB-
 Llc AND STOCK SOLD

New York, Dec. 1.-The world was wireless mad after the steamship Re public disaster nearly five years ago, in which Jack" Binn figured as a hero by remaining hours at his oper- ating post, and the radio wireless tel ephone company, as result, was swamped with orders for stock, ac- cording to testimony given by Elmer F. Burlingame in federal court here today Burlingame is on trial with James Dunlop Smith, Samuel E. Oar by and Lee Deforest, accused of mak- ing fraudulent use of the mails in pro moting the Radio company's stock The witness was the second of the defendants to take the stand, Darby having completed his testimony in his own behalf.
 Burlingame told how a great deal of money was raised by stock selling after the sinking of the Republic. For six months" he said, when the world was wireless mad the money just poured in to us without any great cf- fort on our part"
 Burlingame testified the company had planned to build up a great wire less telephone and telegraph company covering the entire country.
 The trial will be resumed tomorrow.
