LEGISLATURE WILL MEET.
Governor Calls Extra Session for
Iune 1O---FOr Benefit Of Flood
Sufferers.

Gov. Brewer has called an extra
session of the legislature to meet
in Jackson June 10.
The object is to give relief to the
sufferers from the floods in the
Delta, the Levee Board having ex-
pended all its funds and anticipated
all its revenues of this year.
= The Governor says:
II know that it is extraordinary
and unusual to call the legislature
of great state together for the
passage of one local law, but when
we consider the fact that the prop
erty in this district is assessed at
over tWenty-seven million dollars
for State taxation, that they are
bearing very great portion of our
State taxes. that they are absolute-
ly helpless at this time to protect
themselves from the ravages of the
Mississippi River, and that legisla-
tion at the next session would be
too late to enable them to repair
the levees before another rise in
the river, / believe it is right to
call the legislature together and
give them an opportunity to protect
themselves"
Whether the State or the people
of the Delta will "pay the freight"
will be matter of debate between
the Legislators.

TWO SHOTS FIRED At

Perlis Smith, young white man,
who has been working at l.. D..
Boadwee's plumbing shop, is ch arg
ed in an adffiavit in Sheriff Mont
gomery's hands. with shooting with
intent to kill and murder. Last
Saturday night Smith created a
disturbance on E. Monticello Street
near the city cemeteries. shot at
two negro women and was trailed
by dogs back to Cherokee Street
where he. apparently. took buggy
and has since been at large. Smith
is supposed to be in Bogalnsa. to
which place Sheriff Montgomery
has sent a warrant for his arrest.
From reports OF the affair it ap-
pears that Smith was on the outside
of too much liquor and went to a
negro woman's house and attempt
ed to abuse her. Her cries brought
to her assistance a sister living
near by.
In the alteration following this,
Smith pulled pistol and fired a
shot at. each Of the women, one
bullet making a slight abrasion Of
the skin on one Of their heads.

SIMMONS IS TO Be TRIED
AGAIN FOR ATTACKING DAUGHTER

RED" Jim Simmons is again in
the Lincoln county Jail for the same
crime he was accused, tried and
sentenced for in the criminal court
here last January. The Supreme
Court reversed and remanded"
the case and j. E. Simmons will
have to be tried over at the next
term of criminal court in Lincoln
county. in September.
This is case every lover of
decency could wish was consigned
to Oblivion. The evidence was
such at the trial here, presided
over by Judge Miller, that Sim
mons was convicted of criminal
abuse of his, own little daughter
and was sentenced for life. His
own sons testified to the discredit
of their father and the physicians
testimony branded the accused man
as degenerate of low order.
A Jackson correspondent says:
One of the most interesting de-
cisions handed down was in the
case of j. E. Simmons VS.. State.
Simmons lives in Pike county, but
secured a change, of venue to Lin.
coin county, where he was convict
ed on the charge Of having GRIM
inaIly assaulted his own daughter,
aged between eleven and twelve
years. The Lincoln court was re-
versed for the reason that nowhere
in the record is it shown that the
girl testified to the assault-in fact
that Simmons was convicted on
hearsay and circumstantial evil
dence, when direct testimony might
have been had. Two physicians
had attended the girl, and five days
after the assault is alleged to have
taken place she is saidA by one of
them to have told him her own
father was accountable for her con-
dition; seven days after the assault
she told the other physician the
same thing. These conversations
were reported to and testified be-
fore the jury. The girl was not a
witness at all. These were errors
so gross and so palpable." said the
court. that reversal is neces-
sary."

AUTO RUNS over A boy
Machine Driven by Dr.. caraway
Slightly Injuries Jas. Bee
Smashes Bicycle.

This morning at about $3.50 little
James Bee, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. j. Bee, was run over by an
auto driven by DR.. G. j. Caraway.
The accident happened at the rail-
road crossing, the victim falling
from his bicycle between a wagon
and the auto. The bicycle, a new
one, used by the little boy, was
damaged beyond repair, while its
rider was only slightly injured, it
is thought, the only apparent in
jury being abrasions on both knees.
DR.. Caraway states that he was
out trying new auto, and being
unfamiliar with it, was unable to
stop the machine even after he
realized he had been the cause of
the accident.
The wonder is there are not more
accidents at this frequented rail-
road crossing. and were it not for

GOVERNOR GOT NOTHING
From BOyce, the Cotton Man, Buyer
of States COttOn---MOre
Investigation.

Jackson, Miss, May 19.-Gov.
Brewer held court in the reception
room at his Office today and acted
as attorney for the State as well as
judge, proving himself familiar
with the methods used in handling
the States big cotton crops the last
four or five years.
Sitting with the Governor were
Detectives Lehon and Pagan, of the
Burns Agency. New Orleans; /;
Private Secretary Buck was official
stenographr. and G. r. Boyce. of
the cotton firm of Boyce & Co., was
the chief witness, through his
ClarKsdale representative, Mr..
Glrault, and MIR. Skipwith, form
er employee at the same place, also
were present and testified under
oath as to the purchase of cotton
from the Parchman farm, declar-
ing every transaction right and
proper. so far as they knew.
What Gov. Brewer wanted most
of all he never got-Mr. Boyce
telling him he would not divulge
the names of his customers, nor
would he give the weights of the
cotton shipped to Europe. In other
words, he declined to show the
bills of lading on cotton shipped to
Europe, though he did agree to
join the Governor in requesting
weights from the steamship COM
.panies, showing what the cotton
weighed when it reached the other
side of the Atlantic. Neither
would he tell the price at which he
sold the cotton purchased from the
State. He admitted his firm had
made profit on certain shipments,
but declared he never made as
much as $50 on any one bale, and
that he "came near going broke"
on handling one crop-that was
about 1910, the State being slow in
delivering and the price dropping
off 5 cents during the interim.
During the investigation Mr..
Boyce declared he was not being
given proper considerati on. though
he had offered time and again to
give the State all the information
wanted except to show his bills of
lading and the price he got for the
State cotton. He was questioned
closely as to the handling of par
ticular lots of cotton. and gave the
same answer to each, declaring he
had bought on sample and sold the
same way. instead of on descrip-
tions.
Mr.. Boyce stated he was not en-
bittered by the suggestions and the
insinuations of the newspapers, and
was willing to do anything asked
of him except, as stated, show his
bills of lading and prices received.
Being asked about a sale of cot
ton on which Craig & Co. were the
highest bidders, Mr.. Boyce ad
mitted he got the cotton by making
another bid through Col Montgom-
cry and Trustee Smith by telephone
and had made profit on the deal.
He was willing to bet $40, 03O that
the total landing weights would not
show as great as the weights on
which he paid the State.
The investigation was concluded
by 2 p. M, and Mr.. Boyce and bis
two employees left the Capitol.
Gov. Brewer stated this after
noon that he got about what be
expected. which was nothing. The
Governor already had the figures
Boyce gave him today, and it is
understood the figures he asked Of
Boyce are now on their way across
the Atlantic and will be here in q
few days.
