ROADS RECORDS
SENATORS WOULD PUT L. G. N. IN
POSITION OF CONTEMPT OF
THE SENATE.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 13.-Senators ia
voring a special senate committee to
aid the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in gaining records of the Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad have re-
doubled their efforts to have the meas
ure passed. An official of the road is
reported to have elected the com
missions agents from his office, where
they went after information. If this
is allowed to pass unnoticed it is be-
lieved it will establish dangerous
precedent and senators wish to put
the road in the position of contempt
of the senate by passage of the reso-
lutions.

Washington, Feb. 13.-While freez-
ing winds swept across the Potomac
from the Virginia hills, where stands
the Lee mansion at Arlington, a bare.
headed Confederate officer Thursday
opened the simple exercises that
marked the breaking of the ground for
the construction of the marble mem
orial the nation is about to erect to
Abraham Lincoln. This day, the one
hundred and fifth anniversary of Lin
coins birth, was chosen for the break
ing of the ground from which the $2,
100000 structure will rise as rapidly
as the contractors can push the work.
Only small group gathered to wit
ness the significant event. Joseph G.
S. Blackburn, former Senator from
Kentucky, was the first to sink spade
into the ground, and then, with un-
covered head, he spoke in high praise
of the memory of the President
against whom he fought half century
ago.
,"This memorial will show that Lin
coin is now regarded as the greatest
of all Americans" said Senator Black
burn, land that he is so held by the
South as we'll as the North"
In the senate it was a Southerner
Overman of North Carolina, who made
the motion to adjourn Out of respect
to the memory of Lincoln.

JAMES r. JACOBS, LOOKED UPON
AS IMPORTANT WITNESS,
WAS NOT CALLED.
(By Associated Press.)

Oklahoma City, Feb. 13.-Counsel
for Mrs. Minnie Bond, who is suing
Senator Gore for $4,000 damages for
an alleged assault, rested it's case
without calling James R. Jacobs,
looked upon as one of the most i'm
portant witnesses. 1t was believed
they are holding Jacobs for rebuttal
when counsel said I'VE will bring out
something far more startling than has
yet been told"
Mrs. Bond was on the witness stand
the greater part of Thursday. A
searching cross examination failed to
cause her to change her testimony in
any material feature.
On cross examination she stated
that her health has been impaired as
the result of the alleged attack. She
was closely questioned by attorneys
for Senator Gore as to her acquaint-
ance with politicians in Oklahoma
laying the foundation, it is believed
for the introduction of testimony in
support of their contention that the
suit is the result Of a political con
spiracy Senator Gore is a candidate
for denomination at the primaries, tc
be held in Oklahoma in August.
Mrs. Bond, mild-mannered woman
and rather frail in appearance, main
tanned her composure throughout the
examination. Mrs. Gore, wife of the
defendant, sat directly opposite Mrs
Bond throughout the day and fre
quently the gaze Of the two womer
met.

klNCANNON QUITS
AS CHANCELLOR

SALARY NOT WHAT HE EXPECT
ED TO RECEIVE is GIVEN AS
REASON FOR ACTION.
BREWER ACCEPTS RESIGNATION
Sends Special Message to the Legls-
Iature Urging More Pay For Head
of the nstitution-Successo viii
Be Elected by Board of Trustees.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 13.-The resig-
nation of A. A. Kincannon, chancellor
of the State University at oxford, was
accepted last night by the Governor,
and he has made it the subject of a
special message to the legislature.
1t has been known by the friends of
DR.. Kincannon for some time that
he had determined to sever his connec-
tion with the institution, for the rea-
son, it was said, the salary was not
what he expected to receive when he
accepted the call to the head of this
institution.
The Governors message is as fol-
lows:
"Gentlemen-For some time it has
been the custom of the legislature in
making appropriations for the Univer'
sity of Mississippi to attach to this ap
preparation bill clause that the sal
AIRY of the chancellor of the university
should not be raised, and the present
salary of that officer has been fixed
at a rate so low, considering the
duties devolved upon him, that 1t does
not more than pay expenses, and the
present distinguished educator who oc
cupies this position has done so al
financial loss for some time, and tc
such an extent that he has sought tc
resign the position many months ago
but recognizing his long and dis
tinguished services to the State oi
Mississippi as an educator, and his
great usefulness in that position,
have urged upon him to continue in
the place until this time. His resig
nation is now in my hands, and it will
not be possible to procure his services
longer in the position than the date
set for his resignation to take effect
and the election of his successor will
necessarily be thrown upon the Boart
of Trustees, and | want to urge upor
you not to limit the salary to such
small amount as will cripple the in
stitution and prevent the BOARD o.
Trustees from procuring the services
of a man such as ought to be chan
cellor of this great university. Yol
cannot command the services of able
and distinguished men of ability with
out reasonable compensation for theil
services"
Gov. Brewer gave out a statemen
last night to the effect that there |!
not now and never has been the slight
est friction betweet Chancellor Kin
cannon and the present Board of Trus
tees; that every thing is moving alont
smoothly, and the institution is -four
ishing, but DR.. Kincannon has not beer
satisfied at the salary he is being paid
$500 a. year.
When he took charge of the run
down Institution he was promised
salary of $4,000 year, but aftei tw'
Or three years, when he had placed !
on it's feet, his salary was cut to tn,
smaller amount and he determined T.
quit. However, he declined to get ou
under fire, and waited until all inves
legations were ended before resignine
"He quits on the best of terms witt
Z the trustees and faculty and studen
body, and the state has suffered
great loss" says the Governor.

Have Narrow ESCAPE
In T0nopah Mine

Employees Of the Great Western
mine at Tonopah had what might
properly be termed a miraculous es-
cape from being crushed to death d
few nights ago. The company uses
a l,OOO-pound bucket for unWatering
and the rush of watetr is so great
that the huge baler is kept going
pretty constantly.
BY some mean not explained the
bucket slipped off the hook while de-
Sccnding the shaft and the half ton
OF boiler plate began playing havoc
with the insidcs Of that shaft. Tim
bers were torn asunder and great
logs used in the sets were sent hurl-
ing down to the bottom in a shower
OF giant splintcrs. Escape for the
men at the bottom Of the shaft was
impossible. but just when it seemed
as though their lives would be crush
cd out, the bucket turned a somer-
sdult and caught in the sets where 1t
lodged firmly across the shalt after
wrrcking that particular section Of
the property.-Bonanza.
