CURRENCY BILL
MAY BE BLOCKED
WILL FIGHT TARIFF IF PRESENT
COURSE CONTINUED.
WANT THE SESSION ENDED
Republicans Willing to Let Tariff Pass in
Due Time Provided the Currency
Bill Is Carried Over, Says
Gallinger.

Washington. = Republican senator,
made it clear Tuesday that they do moi
propose to hasten consideration of thu
tariff bill if the president and Democratic
leaders of congress are going to insis.
upon the enactment of currency legisla
tion at this session. Senator Gallingel
declared that the Republicans were in no
temper to be forced, and Senator Lodge
insisted that assurances of prolonged
hot summer session would not be con
ducive to fastening the tariff action.
Discussion on this point arose when
Senator Gallinger sought information as
to the intent of the Democrats. Senator
Simmons said he hoped that the Repub-
licans were not making threats to pur-
posely delay passage of the tariff, which
all business interests wanted settled
speedily. Republican senators assured
that they were making no threats but
that it was bound to follow that there
would be little haste with the tariff UNI
less an early adjournment should be the
inducement therefor.
Senator Gallinger said that reading in
the morning papers every day that the
president would insist on holding con-
gress here to enact currency legislation
would not speed up action on the tariff.
Senator Lodge added that it was most
unwise to demand action on such impor-
tant legislation as the currency of a
"tired-out congress-"
Progressive Republicans disclaimed any
intention to delay voting on the tariff
unnecessarily despite what else might be
in store, Senator Borah declaring that
statements to the contrary from other
sources did not express the view of all
on the minority side.

MAY PROBE JUDICIARY.
Legislative Investigation Committee
Claims the Authirity.

misunderstanding to Chairman A.
c. Anderson, of the legislative investiga-
tion committee, they have not as yet
formulated any plan or system by
which to investigate the judiciary of
the state. The only conclusion they
have reached is that they have the power
under the resolution responsible for
their official existence to probe the bench
if it should be found necessary. 1t is be-
yond question, they hold, that judge or
chancellor is a state officer, although he
does not disburse any funds except the
salary appropriated by the legislature
for his remuneration. But they consider
that it is not merely their duty to in
vestigate disbursements of public funds
and the administration of accounts, but
also the administration of the official af-
fairs pertaining to their duties and
sworn obligations, as well as their per-
sonal and moral conduct and bearing.
Under the terms of the resolution they
are to Investigate the state, offices,
state officers, state institutions and de-
partments OF state government AS tne
Judges are classified as state officers, the
committee considered them within the
scope of their inquiry; they are creatures
of the legislature, and the committee is
of and from the legislature itself.
According to Senator Anderson, they
do not expect to 60 nosing and poking
around the court districts with view
to digging up or attempting to, dig up
the laches of the presiding judges and
turning them up to the legislature or to
grand jury. But should reports or
charges be filed with the committee and
there should appear to be any substance
or apparent justification behind such
charges, they consider it would be their
duty to inquire into them, in the regular
way. The committee has heard of in,
stances, which, in their estimation, are
subject to official inquiry of some sort,
and they propose to hew to the line re
gardless.

ARE DEADLOCKED OVER DEBT
Virginia and West Virginia Cannot Settle
50.Year-Old Row.

Washington.-After joint sessions be-
ginning early Saturday and continuing
until late hour, commissioners repre-
senting Virginia and West Virginia i'll
the half-century-old debt controversy be-
tween the two states were deadlocked.
The hitch revolved around the question
of the amount Of interest, the only issue
now outstanding.
The Virginia commissioners demanded
that West Virginia pay to Virginia $14,-
100000 interest on the $7,1s2,607 judg-
ment awarded by the supreme court to
Virginia as the amount West Virginia
should pay her as part of the public
debt of the original state. To this,
West Virginia's commissioners were un-
willing to agree and they proposed as
counter proposition that the entire con-
troversy be reopened by subcommittee
representing each of the states.

TURLEY CLAIMS HE is
immune FROM TRIAL
JUDGE ovERRULEs MOTION TO
QUASH OFFICIALS CASE.
Trial of Former Steward of Mississippi
Insane Hospital Promises to Be
One of Hardest Fought in
Years.

Brandon.-C Claiming that by virtue OF
his testimony before she legislative in
vestigating committee he had become inn
mune from prosecution, T. H. Turloy,
former steward of the State Insane H,s-
pital at jackson, who is charged With
the embezzement of public funds,
sprung surprise ON the state when the
case was called in the Rankin county
circuit court on change of venue from
Kinds county.
Although the move was not unexpected !
by the state, the prosecution met the is
sue and scored victory by securing
from Judge Dobbs decision overruling
q motion to quash the five indictments
against Turley.
Judge Dobbs held that the famous
Immunity bath" law could not be con-
strued SO that it would apply to Turley's
case. After disposing of the motion to
quash the indictments, Judge Dobbs set
the case for trial next Monday.
Judge Croom's motion set forth the al
legation that Turley had been a witness
before the legislative committee and had
been forced to testify about the charges
on which he had been indicted. For this
reason the defense claimed that the de-
fendant was entitled to immunity under
the provisions Of the statute.
The district attorney countered Judge
Croom's motion to quash with the argu-
ment that the action OF the defense came
too late. The district attorney claimed
that the motion should have been made
before the change of venue was granted
from Kinds county and before the de-
fendant had pleaded to the indictments.
Judge Groom, replying to, the district at
torney, claimed that he had right to
file the motion to quash on the grounds
alleged at any time during the trial, but
in order to comply with the usual pro-
cedure he would withdraw the plea OF
not guilty. A lengthy argument fol
lowed. At the conclusion of the talkfest
Judge Dobbs overruled the motion to
uuash the indictments and refused to
permit the defense to withdraw the plea
Of not guilty.
Now, gentlemen said Judge Dobbs,
these motions are out of the way. When
10 you want to go to trialf"
Both sides expressed willingness for
IN early trial and the court fixed the
,ase for next Monday.

VIM SINGING VIII MAKE YOU HUNGRY

the advantages of singing may be observed in choir
boys Many an aenemic little lad has gone into a
church choir, careful trial Of the choir master
and taken great pride in his singing Then in time
1t has been noticed that in almost every case such
boys seemed to improve remarkably in their health
Their cheeks are red their eyes bright and they
lose their aenemic appearance The singing has been
the chief cause of this This improves their lungs
quickens their circulation, and this in its turn de-

1T has probably been the dream of every
poultry breeder to breed a species of
Il hen that will lay indefinitely My
hens lay splendidly up to hundred and fifty
and even two hundred eggs, then they stop"
explains the poultry keeper. why cannot |
get my hens to lay five hundred or thou,
sand eggs?"
The answer is as simple as Nature itself;
for nature portions a definite measured guam
tity of germ plasm to each of her children,
and allows handsome margin for accidents.
But when that supply is exhausted no more Is
TO be had.
When the chick steps forth from the she'll
It is already endowed with all the eggs it can
ever lay, nor can any device of the human
mind add so much as one yolk to that
number
Farmers watch their hens, and finally they
will say 1--WE had better kill this hen-she
has stopped laying" OF course, there is good
Judgment in that, for the hen brings no more
profit as an egg-laying fowl. On the other
hand, she is so much added expense for she
must be fed Naturally, the profit then is in
making the hens lay their eggs as rapidly as
possible-then killing them for market.
BY means of selecting good stock and feed
ing properly, expert poultry breeders can
make their hens lay all their eggs in two
years. Sometimes a hen will lay all her eggs
in a year. Leghorns lay about $50 eggs.
Brahmas lay about 200. AS far as known, no
breed Of hens will do much better than 200
eggs.
Now, Nature did not intend the hen to lay
200 eggs in year. She intended these eggs
to be produced in about fifteen years. Our
hens come from the wild jungle fowl of India
In their native state they live FIFTEEN or six
teen years and lay their eggs throughout all
