SENATE PROBE OF
FIGHT IS DEEMED
Committee Not Certain It Has
Jurisdiction to Conduct Still-
Byrd-Lynn Hearing,
The senate committee which arraigned
Luther H. Still. Charles P. Byrd anti
Thomas Lyon this afternoon on a charge
of fighting in the senate chamber last
Wednesday, adjourned the hearing at 1:30
o’clock until next Monday afternoon, and
in the meantime will decide whether it has
jurisdiction in the case.
Still, president of the Typographical
union, appeared in the senate chamber
with both eyes almost concealed under
swollen flesh, caused by the blows given
him by Lyon. He was represented by
Frank Hughes, attorney, who maintained
that the senate had no actual jurisdiction
in the matter, as the fight had occurred
after both senate and committee had ad
journed; that there was no contempt of
that august body shown, and it was a
matter for the state courts to decide.
Byrd and Lyon were represented by
Robert B. Blackburn, who insisted that
the senate committee hear the case, as
serting that the mere fact that one of
the defendants appeared before the com
mittee with brass knucks tn his posses
sion constituted a breach of decorum and
courtesy toward the Agnate.
One Witness Testifies,
The committee, Pijesident John M. Sla
ton presiding, ruled that It would take
the question of its jurisdiction under ad
visement and reopen the hearing Monday,
upon the adjournment of the senate It
consented to hear one witness, W. O.
Foote, who could not be present next
wee k
Foote said that Byrd had approached
Still and warned him not to make ‘'any
more personal remarks," with the threat
to "knock his head off." He had heard
no profane or obscene remarks. He tes
tified that Still had the brass knucks,
which he. dropped on the floor, and that
Lyon had picked them up and attacked
Still
The hearing was the outgrowth of an
altercation among the three which arose
from Still's charges that the Byrd com
pany had robbed the state, in its print
ing contracts. It occurred on the floor of
the senate chamber, just after the ad
journment of the committee bad had con
sidered a new state printing bill
MOONSHINE KING
OF NORTH GEORGIA
MIXES LAST MASH
CUMMING, GA.. July 12.—01 d La
fayette Larmon, the moonshine king of
the north Georgia mountains, has mixed
his last mash. Friends found his body
in Daves creek, six miles from Cum
ming. drowned in his wagon. A dozer
jugs of mountain dew in the wagon
bed told the story of old Lafe’s last
running of the revenue blockade. He
had been caught by the flood on the
way from his still to. market.
Lase Larmon was 75 years old. but
his blue eyes were just as keen as
when he followed the flag in the 60’s,
and in his hands the six-foot squirrel
rifle held just As steady a bead. The
revenue officers were never anxious to
trail the old man into his den, and
though his stills had been broken up
again and again old Lase retained his
freedom and kept on turning corn into
white liquor. He had the stern re
ligion of the Georgia mountaineer, de
scendents of the Roundheads, and was
a regular attendant at the church his
father had helped to build. But he
maintained the right of a free-born
citizen to use his own corn for meal or
whisky as he saw fit, and he refused
to admit that the government had any
right to interfere. He had been
"moonshining'’ for 50 years.
Daves creek was swollen by the
heavy rains and old Lase must have
misjudged tile depth at the ford, for
he drove his mule into water six feet
deep. Caught in the harness, the mule
was swept down stream and drowned,
and the old man evidently made no at
tempt to leave the wagon and swim out.
Friends found him and the mule dead
together, washed against the bank, with
Jugs of moonshine, tightly corked with
corncobs, floating by the old man's
side.
AMERICUS POWER CO.
REQUESTS CONTINUED
MONOPOLY OF TRADE
Ft L. Maynard and A. M. Walker, at
torneys for the Americus Gas and Elec
tric Company, blandly requested the state
railroad commission today to give their
company the lighting and power monopoly
in Americus.
The unusual request, which has been
taken under advisement by the commis
sion but doubtless will be denied, was
mad,- when the lawyers appeared to pro
test against a petition of the Americus
Power company asking the commission
for approval of a $50,000 stock issue.
The Americus Power Company is a re
cently formed organization growing out of
the fight between the municipal authori
ties ol Americus and the Americas Gas
and Electric Company over the capitaliza
tion of the latter.
The attorneys told the commission that
there was no necessity for meh a plant
as the gas-electric company was sup
plying the needs of the people of Amer
icus and vicinity without trouble and
opposition

COTTON JUMPS
TOWARD CLOSE
After Early Losses Bullish Mill
Takings Start Prices Up
Again,
■
NEW YORK, July 12.—With strong
Liverpool cables the cotton market start
ed the day off showing irregularity, with
near positions 2 to 9 points better, later !
positions were unchanged to 3 points i
lower. After the first few minutes of I
trading large orders were thrown upon
the market, causing it to drop 3 to 9 points
below the first figures. The weather map
reported weather generally cloudy with
light showers over the eastern belt, with
mdications for increasing cloudiness) in
■vest Texas with probable showers.
In the afternoon session the selling!
movement which prevailed upon the mar
ket in the early trading Seemed tn check,
some iuiying being done on the temper
ature in Texas and Oklahoma. There
was a fair demand for old crop positions
by some of the leading spot interests,
with an absence of new crop offerings.
This and the strong demand by spot peo
ple had a stimulating effect upon the
market, l ater in the afternoon trading I
prices made an upward movement, carry -
ing quotations back inward' the opening.
This turn in prices was believed to be
caused by the bullish spinners' takings
for the week, which show an increase of
52.000 bales over the same week last year.
In the last hour of trading the market
developed a firm tone, with prices making!
a turn for higher levels, carrying quota
tions to the highest of the year. The
final figures for the day shown a net gain
of IS to 22 points above the final of Thurs
day.

No rains shown by map elsewhere. On
the whole, precipitation was more lim
ited to localities than in the past few
days.
A traveling man of San Antonio wires:
"Have covered territory from Waxahachie
to San Antonio; find entire section need
ing rain; very dry from Austin to San
Antonio and plant has ceased growing:
high temperature is drying up vegetation
rapidly and crop damaged materially
without rain. Next fen days indications
are for continued high temperatures and
no rain."
Greenville. Miss., clear, good showers
yesterday: Greenwood. Yazoo City and
Memphis, dear; Vicksburg, partly cloudy,
showers last night.
Following from Greenville. S. C.: "Our
crop is remarkably clean, and stands are
perfect, and while the crop is at least a
week or ten days late, yet that condition
can be readily remedied in a very short
time with good weather."
Habersham King, in his latest crop re
port. says: "1 differ with general views
about the unfavorable character of the
weather. There was an inclination to put
rains down as unfavorable, but I consider
developments of the week fa.vprable to 90

Tennessee has the most unfavorable con
ditions.”
Austin. Tex., wires: "Brownville dis
trict reports serious bdl weevil damage;
Waco reports very high temperature,
which can do no harm, as nights are.cool.
Ample moisture no hot winds look
like Texas is getting ready to work a
crop scare, with conditions almost per

worse."
Fort Smith, Ark., wires: "During the
week crop conditions have slightly Im
proved. In western Oklahoma, rains have
retarded work somewhat, and reports are
that the crop is 20 per cent less than last
year, and about two weeks late. In
eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas
no rain has fallen and temperature Is Just,

Sag—Cron Movements Also
Have Effect.
By CHARLES W. STORM
NEW YORK. July 12 A moderate de
inajrd, coupled w-ith an absence of supply
caused a firm tone in the stock market
at the opening today. Reading made
about the best gain, opening % higher at
161 s . and gaining % additional on the
next few sales. United States Steel com
mon and Erie were also strong, ranging
's above Thursday's closing. In a num
ber of stocks that made gains, however,
there were recessions which carried off
part of the. early gains. This was nota
bly so in Steel.
Canadian Pacific was weak here as a
result of action in London. It was
;! .d In London. Coppers were listless.
Amalgamated being up % and American
Smelting up %.
The curb was steady
Americans were steady in London.
In the later forenoon activity was
shown in many Issues, Reading arl
vanelng % and a gain of 1% was made
in American Can common and People's
Gas. The, Texas company advanced 2
points. The traction stocks were general
ly "firm, and there was a better demand
for the Tobacco issues.
There was pressure in the late after
noon trading. Chicago and Northwestern
was influenced more than any other stock
by this weakness and was unusually af
fected. Under a volume of selling or
ders. Northwestern receded 2% points.
The other railroad stocks which had re
sisted the declining tendency for some
time, finally shared the downward move
ment. New York Central fell off 2 points.
The market closed irregular
