6iIbo on Trial.

Mississippis lieutenant governor,
Theo. G. Bilbo, has been summoned to
appear before the Kinds County cir
cult court and defend charge that
he accepted 5000 and agreed to take
81, 800 more for his vote and influences
In favor OF a bill pending before the
last legislature. With State Senator
G. A. Hobbs he was jointly indicted at
Vicksburg, but the case was brought
here on change Of venue. Hobbs
was declared not guilty at Vicksburg
after a rather Sensational trial. tt.y
The testimony is expected 10 %
practically the same AZ that brought
out at the Hobbs trial. Hobbs did mot
deny that he and others took @z0s
from Stephen Castleman Of Belzoni.

party to the Hobbs scheme. The bill
in question provided for new county
with Belzoni as the county seat.

dictments resulted from undue polite

Anti.Liuuor Law Wina.

Ant.Llquor Law Wins.
BY unanimous opinion, the Mlssls'
sippi supreme court sustained the act
Of the legislature Of 1914, known as
the May.Mo Mott-Lewis act for the regula'
ton Of liquor shipments into the state
by reversing the lower court in three
test cases which originated in the
chancery court Of Warren county.
The opinion In the case was presented
by Chief Justice Smith, which set
forth the facts and law involved. There
were three cases, in two Of which the
Ameriaen Express company was the
appellant, and one case involving the
Southern Express company. THESE
carriers Mad refused to accept for ship
ment certain packages containing
liquors or beer for transportation from
points In Louisiana to points in mis-
sissippi, on the ground that the snip
pers had not complied with the pro-
visions Of the act requiring certificate
that such liquors were intended for
private consumption to be attached 70
the package. There were other excep.
tions to the act, which we're fully SET
out In the bill Of Injunction which was
gotten out to compel the express com.
panies to accept and forward the snip
ments. These were sustained Dy
Chancellor Thomas, and from that de-
cree the appeal to the higher cours
was taken.
Stated briefly, the supreme court
holds that under the Webb-kenyon act
Of congress certain latitude is given
the states in the matter Of enacting
laws for regulating such features q
interstate traffic as may fall within
their jurisdiction, which tranic y
deemed to be against the public morals
and welfare. The court had made 9
careful study Of all features brough.
into the case and Of the decisions o.
other states, notably Kentucky, Zen
nessee and South Carolina, ana tne
conclusion was that the law IS vaild !
10 not in conflict with federal law, noi
with interstate commerce, and ina.
the lower court should be reversed
and the bill dismissed.
The case has been before the cour'
for several weeks and has given the
court occasion for much study ana re-
search, and now that the act is sus
tanned ii 10 believed that shippers and
others win be guided by the decree.

DRAPER NOT HERE;
MAKES PROMISES

Manager Draper and his crew Of
marlborough baseball warriors are
billed to arrive in the city sometime
next week, according to statement
OF Draper made in a conference with
the Richmond officials d few days
ago. Draper has been coming to
Richmond for the last three months
now and until he gets here no one is
taking his latest statement seriously.
Draper originally intended bringing
his men here the first of March, such
was his statement to the owners of
Athletic park, which he had contract
ed for to be used as his spring train
ing quarters. When the Appalachian
crowd failed to show zip in March,
Draper said that the condition of the
weather prevented his coming at that
early date.
The next date set for the arrival of
his men in Richmond was the first
part Of April. April came but no
marlborough outfit. AT this time
George Brehmn went to Cincinnati
and had a conference with the man
ager of the team and returned with
the answer that Diapers men would
invade the town the middle of the
month. The middle of the month is
here but Draper is not. Draper and
his crew are now at Portsmouth, Ohio,
for a weeks stay, at the end of which
time he will bring his clan here, so
he reported

BLUE GRASS TEAM
NEXT LOCAL BILL
Kenney's Players Meet Ken
tuckians Before Opening
Season ON Home Lot.

Just one more Sunday ON the road
and then Manager Kenney with his
clan Of Richmond baseball players will
be seen on the home lot for the nrst
game Of the season Although Rich
mond played at Cincinnati Last Sun
day, and viii meet the Mayszils (Ky.)
nine at the Blue Grass town next
Sunday, tho regular opening Of the
season will not be until April rs, when
Richmond stacks up against the Mid
dleboro nine here.
Although Kenney's men were beaten
in last Sundays game with the Nor
wood team at Cincinnati, the defeat
does not feaZe the Quaker bunch in
the least, as this was the first game
of the season, and Richmond was With
out the services of two of their best
fielders, Cam and Lawson. BED and
Cy were unable to play with the
Quakers on that date, but will be seen
in Quaker uniforms hereafter.
Much interest has been manifested
over the series between the Rich.
mond team and the marlborough Ap,
pahchian leaguers, as the managers
of both teams are old time friends and
each claims that his team is the best
in the bushes.
Kenney and Draper have been in the
game together before entering upon
their managerial careers. Kenney
thinks he has gathered together the
fastest assortment Of players to be
had outside the big league circuits, and
trio of tight games ale assured the
Richmond bugs when the teams meet
here for the series, starting April 26.

RUSSIAN WRESTLER
ACCEPTS CHALLENGE
Young Hackenschrnidt May
Meet Busch ON Mat fer
Richmond Fans.

If arrangements can be completed
for holding the match, local fans OF
the wrestling game will have an op-
portunity of seeing Carl Busch. middle
weight champion of Germany. mix it
with Young" Hackenschmidt, Of Bos-
ton, Mass. Busch issued q challenge
here several days ago to any one
willing to take him on and Hack has
responded with a statement that he
is ready to meet him at any time and
at any place.
Busch has previously challenged
Hackenschmidt for a match but fail
ure to agree on terms caused the cali
ing of the meeting. The German Is
tempt to get the Richmond Amuse-
ment company to stage the affair. II
satisfactory terms can be agreed upon
the match will be held in this city
at a near date
Weights Even.
Both men seem to be about evenly
matched in weight, although the Rus.
sian may scale the beam trifle In
excess of the German: Not more than
five pounds at the highest separate
the two men and from all appearances
the match would be the best ever
staged in this town. Hackenschmidt
is but a youngster while Busch is
several years his senior Hacken-
schmidt has been a professional for
about three years and in that time
has taken the number of some OF the
best mat-artists in the game.
II negotiations with the Richmond
hackers are successful, both men will
come to this city and begin their
training. Hackenschmidt yesterday
expressed himself favorably on the Y
M. C. A. as training quarters and will
begin work there as soon as something
definite is learned about the match
He would like to hear from some local
boys that would be willing to work
out with him. Although Hack would
have little trouble in handling any one
in this city, this is nevertheless q
chance for some local aspirants to get
some good pointers at the game, as
Hack understands the game from A
to Z.

INTEREST GROWING
IN POLO REVIVAL
RichmOnd's Followers Of the
.. Game Make Effort to Form
New Indiana Circuit.

VIII the game Of polo be revived IN
this city next winter? This IL q qses-
ton that is interesting supporters Of
the game that was SO popular back In
the balmy days Of shorty Jessup's
pennant winning five, of the Indiana
Polo league. Prospects Of its come
back" are said to be extremely good
by persons interested in the game.
Glenn Gaar, OF this city. and Chas. J.
Lyons, Of Elwood, have expressed
themselves favorably On tho project
and Indications point to the fact that
something VIII be done in the near
future to ascertain the opinion Of
hackers Of the old organization On
the subject. 1t was thought that pos
sibly two or three exhibition games
could have been arranged for here
this spring but the latensss Of the
season makes this unlikely.
Three Indiana Rings.
There are at present three Kinks OF
regulation size in Indiana A new
rink has just ben completed at Mum
Gle and with regulation floors at Rich
mond and Elwood would give three
cities Of the cid circuit that would
form the nucleus for the proposed
league. Interest at Marion, Ander-
son and several other old time polo
towns is said to be growing and these
towns would no doubt welcome the re.
turn of the game.
The American League in the East,
which just closed a successful season
in the eastern cities, has obtained the
old stars Of the Indiana circuit, but If
the game was revived here these men
would rather play in this section of
