The letter received from Senator
Williams contained a carbon copy Of
a communication which was ad-
dressed by him to Hon. W. G. Me.
AdoO, secretary Of the treasury.
and N which he urged that official
to carefully consider the claims Of
Columbus when the time to take
up the locations of the farm loan
banks arrives. Senator Williams
stated in his letter that should an
other Mississippi municipality apply
for a bank he would necessarily be
compelled to remain neutral, but so
far he had received no other request
for assistance, and should none be
received would be glad to give his
support to Columbus.
Senator Vardaman stated in his
letter that he considered nothing to
good for Columbus, and that he was
always ready to do anything possi-
BILE for the city and her people. He
assured Mr.. Weatheriy that the
movement to secure farm loan
bank would have in him an earnest
and enthusiastic advocate, and he
would do everything in his power
to further its success.

THIRD FATALITY IN
FAMOUS LAWLER CASE
SHERIFF PHILLIPS, BELIEVING
HE is UNDER SUSPICION,
KILLS SELF.

Huntsville, Ala, June 23.-Sher-
if Robert Phillips, of Madison coun-
ty, shot and killed himself at the
county Jail here late today--the
second suicide growing out of the
recent murder of Probate Judge
w. 7. Lawler. The sheriff left a
note saying that he had been sus-
pected of the murder, asserting his
innocence and declaring that he
had been fooled" and "could not
"stand the strain"
Sheriff Williams had been known
as political friend of d. d. Over
ton, for whom a warrant has been
issued in connection with the Law
Ter murder, and it was said by the
sheriff's friends tonight that worry
over criticism because he had not
arrested Overton had caused the
suicide. That the sheriff should have
thought himself suspected of the
Lawer murder, however, was said
by his friends to be as great a sur.
prise as that caused here Wednesday
when Shelby S. Peasants, local
attorney, was found shot to death ir
his office, leaving a note saying that
he intended to kill himself because
he was suspected of numbering
Judge Lawler. Acting Solicitor Tate
in charge of special grand jury in
vestigation, declared no officials hat
suspected Peasants.
Sheriff Phillips recently issued ;
statement replying to criticism be
cause Overton had not been arrest
ed, and saying that he was doinl
everything in his power to appre
hend him. Later when a $1,000 re
ward was offered for Overton tn,
sheriff asserted that neither he no
his deputies would share in it i
they made the arrest, which, he re
iterated, they were making every eff
fort to do.

FANS MUST TURN OUT IN
LARGE NUMBERS IF THEY
WANT BASEBALL.
ABERDEEN GAMES
EVENLY DIVIDED
Columbus Will Be Here Five
Days this Week, Playing
Tupelo and Aberdeen.

After having played two games
in Aberdeen the Columbus baseball
team returned to the city yesterday,
and will be here all during the com.
ing week, playing Tupelo Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, and
Aberdeen Thursday, Friday and Sat.
urday.
The Columbians played in Aber-
deem Thursday and Friday, and
broke even on the series, having lost
the first game by the score of 3 to
! and having won the second by a
score of 4 to 2. Sargent pitched FOR
Columbus in the second game, and
allowed only three hits.
The local directors hope for good
crowds at all of the games this
week. The largest crowd that as.
sembled at Lake Park during the
series last week was on Monday af
ternon, and then nearly halt
the spectators were West Point fans
who came over in automobiles to
witness the contest.
The expense of the team amount:
to considerable sum each week
and If Columbians are to continue te
have baseball they must patroniz,
the games more literally.

The Americans will not be permitted

Jackson Thursday for conference
with Adjutant General Scales, and
other military authorities. he made
very vigorouous protest against
what he regarded as an unjust ac-

obdurate, saying that he had acted
under orders from the war DEPART

power in the matter.

San Antonio, Texas, June "a
The two troops Of the Tenth cavalry
under Capt, Charles T. Boyd prac-
tically were wiped cut by the attack
of Mexican forces under Gen. Felix
Gomez at Carrizal June q, accord
ing to indications given in frag-
mentary report received by Gen.
Funston from Gen Pershng last
night.
General Pershing stated that
seven survivors in all including
those who arrived last night, have
reached the main column, all were
enlisted men, but the report did not
say whether there were noneom-
missioned officers among them.
According to the stores of the
survivors, as outlined by General
Pershing's report, a mounted force
of Mexicans made a mounted charge
from the flank at the conclusion Of
a parley between Capt Boyd and
Gen. Gomez. AT the same time a
machine gun opened fire from the
front as Gen. Gomez reached his
lines
Capt. Boyd had ordered his men
to dismount as the machine gun
opened fire, and the combined effect
of the Mexican charge, the machine
gun fire and the rifle fire from the
Mexican garrison at Carrizal, which
had almost surrounded the little
American force under cover Of the
parley sought by Gen. Gomez to dis
cuss whether Capt. Boyd should be
allowed to pass through the town,
stampeded the horses.
With their mounts gone, caught
without means of escape, ringed

is feared that only the most stupen-

could have extricated Capt. Boyd's
men from the trap.
The reports from Mexican sources
have placed the number killed. in
cluding two officers, at from IL 70

Congress also took vigorous ae-

that an emergency calling for the

the President to draft Immediately

and provides for their use in or out

The Senate probably will pass
the resolution today.
Diplomatic aspects of the crisis
virtually were unchanged. President
Wilson could reach no final decision
as to the action resulting from the
attack by Mexican troops upon AM
erican cavalrymen at Carrizal or
upon American bluejackets at Ma
natlan.
Only preliminary report on the
Carrizal fight came from Gen. Per-

the record is complete formal ac-
counts will be submitted to Secre-

Evidence now in hand is believed
to be sufficient to show that Carran-

will be held responsible in both
cases. Indications are that the Wash

the reports of its own officers and
refute the assertions of the Mexican
