COURTS WILL AIR
 BRIBERY CHARGES
House of Representatives Will Take No Action Against Accused
 Member at Present.

Little Rock, March 6-The house took no action Monday afternoon on charges of having solicited a bribe of $10O from Claude Ringo of Little Rock to vote for the Sum day baseball bill. After hearing McGill, Doyle and Brooks, the fol- lowing resolution was offered by Mir. Hardy of Faulkner, and unani- mously adopted on the motion of MT. Mathis, seconded by MT. Ken drick:
 "Inasmuch as the matter con corning Representative stephen Meadors is to be fully investigated in the courts, and the few days yet remaining of this session can be better occupied than by embar- rassing the defense of Mr. Meadors in the case of the state;
 Resolved That the entire mat ter be referred to the courts and that this house take no further ac tion.''
 The committee made no recom mendation, and there was no fur ther discussion of the subject.
 MT. Ringo testified that MT Meadors told him he would vote for the bill if he would arrange a loan of $100 for him. The gist of de- fense is contained in the following concluding portion of MT. Meadors' testimony before the senate investi- gating committed: "Question-Did you tell MT. Ringo that if he would either take care of that note for you to MT. Ross, or would see that it was taken care of for you and would see that it was paid, that you would vote for the Sunday baseball bill?
 "Answer-I did not and God
 knows I didn't tell him anything like that.
 "Q.-Did you say anything to him that would justify his reaching that conclusion?
 Al don't know why I should unless he had been asking for that. That's the only reason in the world, 1uAy11 dnnn it I've been here time and again, and wouldn't vote for baseball not for $1O,000. That man (referring to Senator Garrett) knows I wouldn't do it. He knows my moral stand ing at home, and my moral status. I wouldn't have voted for that Sun day baseball for no consideration, never had the thought in my mind Of doing it for any consideration in the world.
 "Q.-Have you been solicited by anyone to vote for a measure on consideration of being paid any money in the legislature of 1917?
 Al have not No man has of fered me dime of money to vote for any bill.
 "Q.-Do you know of any person who has been offered a bribe to in | fluence the action of any member
 of the general assembly of 1917, on jany measure, in that session of the Legislature?
 A do not I know I had an idea it was the incest session I ever served in, and I have been here
 three sessions and an extra session l "Q.-You know of no bribery or
 soliciting of bribes of any charac-
 ter?
 1 Al do not, sir"

 off among the clouds like a bubble in whirlwind.
 At tremendous height the bal loon was struck by lightning and set on fire, throwing one of the of ficers out of the basket. His para chute opened, but as the balloon. now falling like rock, had it's rig ging tangled up with the lower cords of the parachute, the latter began descending at frightful ve- locity through the storm clouds. The officer might have cut the bal loon loose, making his own escape Ia certainty, but he would have doomed his brother officer to cer- itain death. So he refrained, pre- ferring to take the millionth chance along with the other man.
 The velocity of the fall extin- guished the fire which had burned a great hole in the balloon, and wind, getting in through this open ing, caused the fabric to swell out, thus forming parachute of itself. The ground was reached. with a thud which broke collar-bone or two, but both young men walked to the nearest dressing station where they reported before receiv- ing first aid.
