VIRGINIA CADETS
 MAY ESCORT WILSON
ED DILLEY, PINE BLUFF BOY, IS AMONG THOSE WHO MAY BE
 IGNORED AT CAPITAL.
Brayed storm For Taft-Graduates of Famous Old School Are
 Interested.

The following from the Washington Post will be of interest in Pine Bluff because of the fact that Ed Dilley, son of Mir. and Mrs. F. l.. Dilley, of this city, is one of the cadets at the Virginia Military Institute:
 President-elect Wilson is to be urg- ed to designate the cadets of the Vir- ginia Military Institute as his person al escort at the inauguration. Leroy Price Calfee. of the Treasury Depart ment, aided by other graduates of that famous old institution, the twin sister of the University of Virginia, where Woodrow Wilson studied law, expect to confer this week with Sena- tor Martin, and enlist his support for this plan. Recently member of the board of visitors of the institute was in Washington, and took this matter up personally with Mir. Calfee and other former cadets, and urged them to bring this matter before the auth critics in charge of the inauguration ceremonies after they had been ap- pointed.
 Gen. Nichols, superintendent Oi the Virginia Military Institute, also is anxious that this honor should be be- slowed upon his cadets, and, with the zeal of the local graduates of the old school and the support of the senators and members of the Virginia delega- tion, it is not doubted but that the president-elect wifi designate these wonderfully drilled cadets to act as his personal escort.
 Well.Drilled Cadets. In military address and excellence of drilling and march the cadets oi the V. M. l. yield to no one, including even the cadets at Annapolis and West Point.
 At the last inauguration these Vir- ginia boys were among the few, on that nasty day of storm and slush and cold, that entered the parade and con tinued to the end. Their large band also was a feature of the Taft inau- guration.

 Heard Him.

Washington, Jan. 2.-An eager throng besieged the Senate galleries today, in anticipation of Senator Baileys farewell speech. The Texas Senator took the floor at the conc:u- S on of morning business" Prac- tical!y none of his address had been praperade in advance. It dealt prln- cipally with the principle of the in- itiative and referendum, and he di- rected his words toward his resoiu- on, declaring, that such system of direct legislation as the initiative and referendum would establish is in conflict with the representative prin- ciple on wh cfl4 the republic is iound- ed''
 During my service of more than twenty-one years in the two houses of Congress" Said Senator Bailey, Il have never before delivered an ad- dress in either of them intended more for the country at large than for the body itself, and I would not now depart from that rule, except for the extraordinary situation in wh oh we find ourselves with respect 70, these questions
 Senator Bailey declared the advo- cates of this "extraordinary form Of govelnmenA'' had conducted syste- matic campaign for years in behalf of their views. He desired, he said, to present arguments against such system of direca legislation. The major ty of senators were in their seats. Many members of the House had crowded into the rear of the Senate chamber.
 The first portion of Senator Bal- leyts address included long extracts from the writings of Alexander Ham, ilton, principally the publications Tn the Feleralist, through which Ham4l- ton. just after the formation of the government, carried on his discus sion of the principles upon which he conceived the government to have been founded.

Again Before Senate

Washington, d. C., November 17.-(Spe-
cial)-The appointment of Frank p.
Glass as United States senator by Ala
bama's governor. brings that state for
the second time before the Senate in a
contest to seat an appointee of the gov
ernor under the seventeenth amndment
1t also makes two contests for the Sem
ate to decide under the constitutional
provision. Blair Lee, recently elected a
senator in Maryland, will have to con-
vince the Senate committee on privileges
and elections that he is entitled to his
seat. The election for senator in Marx-
land was ordered by the governor with
out consulting the legislature and without
that body providing the election ma
chinery as expressly set forth in the
amendment. Senators, as before. refuse
TO talk for publication, but privately the
opinion is practically unanimous that
neither of these gentlemen will be seated.
Lee. who was ected BY the people,
may have o chance. 1t is said, because the
Senate being the sole judge of its own
membership, may waive the technicality
in his case, but it is conceded that an
appointee by governor stands little show
for favorable consideration

WINSTON WANTS TICK
ERADICATION LAW
Mississippians Petition Board to Com.
pei All Cattle to Be
Dipped

Jackson, Miss. November 17.-(Special.) }
Petitions are being circulated In Winston
county asking the board of supervisors
to pass the tick eradication law, COM
peling all cattle to be dipped accord
ing to government and state regulations.
An agent Of the government has been at
work in that county several weeks and
reports that the petitions are being
signed by nearly every person to whom
presented
Several vats are already in operation.
and the farmers are taking to the plan
in dead earnest, appreciating, the fact
that days of King cotton are numbered,
and that their hope of future money lies
in the cattle and hog industries. They
also appreciate the fact that If they would
succeed and get the best prices for their
cattle they must be clear of ticks. A
steer from, county that is rid
of the ticks sells for Is to Sc more
than does a steer from vicinity that is
overrun with ticks.
Strange as it may seem there are yet
some neighborhoods In the state that re-
fuse to patronize the dipping vats. and
in some counties the farmers have done
everything in their power to destroy the
vats, even to the extent Of blowing them
up with dynamite. A few arrests on that
score has cured great many of these
trouble makers, hut the opposition is
still felt In some localities.

tain Hobson spoke at the Masonic theatre.
New Decatur, tonight to a large crowd.
Hobson declared that the paramount issue
In the campaign is education of the
masses. He said woman suffrage had
been eliminated since Underwood had de-
clared in favor of It,
Oscar w. Underwood stands for liquor,
red liquor straight" declared Hobson. II
wish the White House were informed that
Underwood has said that he stands where
President Wilson and Mr. Bryan stand on

In speaking of the waterpower of the
Tennessee river, he declared Underwood
has just discovered the great Muscle

Hobson charged that Underwood pro-
posed to practically give away the great
water powers of the southern rivers to
corporations. He declared that he was
not indulging in mud singing, but that
he would prove certain charges by the
records.
Hobson stated that some of the leading
papers Of tne state were unfair to him.

LANE BELIEVES THE
GOVERNOR WILL CALL
AN EXTRA SESSION
Calls on O'Neal Relative to
Importance of New Leg
islation for Cities
of State

Montgomery, November 17.-(Special.) }
That such pressure will be brought to bear
upon the governor as to induce him to
call special session of the Alabama leg
islature is the opinion of Judge A. ..
Lane of Birmingham, who conferred with
the chief executive today relative to the
! Importance of new legislation for the
counties, cities and state. Judge Lane, in
his talk with the governor, made especial
| reference to the relief which a special ses-
sion of the legislature would bring to the
| city of Birmingham.
| Jefferson county was also represented
at the conference by Hugh McGeever, a
member of the board of revenue of that
county, who was just as insistent as
Judge Lane that only an extra session of
the Legislature could bring the relief
which their people needed.
While the governor did not give the JEFF
ferson county representatives any assure
ance that he would rescind his former de-
cision not to call a special session, he did
agree to receive Birmingham delegation
some time during the present week. at
which time the question will be fully dis
cussed from all angles Judge Lane said
he thought the delegation would come to
Montgomery for the conference with the
governor within the next two or three
days.
Jefferson county and the city of Br-
mingham will lie represented by lnrge
delegation" said Judge Lane. land you
may quote me as saying that believe the
governor will yield to the pressure that
lxx-f1I l,.a h,.ot trrl,A 1eo TN A.,
extra session is our only hope of relief.
The city's finances are at such low ebt
as to prevent various civic improvements
which are needed, and unless we get
Financial relief all development which il
in contemplation must necessarily be re-
tarded."
Judge Lane expressed the belief that
the only way by which the financial
situation can be relieved is by raising
the rate of taxation. and he declared that
an extra session would give the city and
county this authority.
Judge Lane did not indicate who would
compose the Birmingham delegation, who
will call on the governor this week. but
declared that it would be sufficiently
large and representative to fully impress
the governor with the Importance OF call
ing the legislature together
Just what will be the effect of the petit
tion to the governor to call a special ses-
sion of the state lawmakers will not be
known until after the conference, as the
governor, when seen today by The Age
Herald correspondent did not give any
intimation of his probable action.
when / announced last week that l
would not call a special session of the
legislature said the governor, II stated
that my decision was not irrevocable. 1
shall not do so, however, unless such a
step is absolutely necessary | realize
that much Legislation is needed for the
counties, cities and state, particularly for
Jefferson county. and it may be necessary
to issue the call. But I am determined
not to do so unless it shall appear to lac
to be absolutely necessary"
Judge Lane left for Birmingham this
afternoon
