Bilbo, Lieutenant-Governor Under Indictment on Graft Charge, May Still Be Able to Preside Over the Senate and Block Appointments. ; VCKSON, MISS., Dee. 27.—Gov ernor roarl Brewer is writing his iennial message, to be submitted to ie Legislature January 6, under Many difficulties, and the document ,romises to be rather brief, owing to the fact that practically of his time during the past two .-Us has been consumed with the llubbs-Bilbo bribery trial at Vicks burg. the Governor has been able to - \ • but little attention to h1s mes- 6 age, and thus far he has not even ; m<1 the biennial reports from the un ions departments of State govern ment. In regard to the recommendations e will make to the lawmaking body, Governor Brewer is maintaining ab solute silence. It is expected, how ever. that his suggestions will be few in number and very much to the point. That the legislative session is go ing- to be the most notable held in Mississippi in many years, fraught itb much bitterness and partisan spirit. 1s conceded on all sides. In other words, it is going to be a regu- iir monkey-and-parrot time, the con clusion of which no man can forecast h any degree of certainty. Factional Lines Shattered. The old factional lines so plainly n.a.rked at the session two years ago hnve been wiped out in many places, iiiefly due to Governor Brewer’s ; nti-graft crusade, and the work of the Legislative investigating commit tee. Politicians of prominence and in ti uence who were sworn friends but wo short years ago are now bitter enemies. To what extent factional politics nd bitter personalities are going to nfluence the general trend of legisla- t.oii is? the hll-important question. In many quarters the belief prevails that political leaders are going to be kept so busy fighting each other that very little time will be left for the more serious work of legislation. The big question, of course, is what lie State Senate intends to do con- erning Lieutenant Governor Bilbo . nd State Senator G. A. Hobbs, un- dictuent Vicksburg for iribe-taking, the trial of Hobbs being now in progress. Neither of these men is disquali fy under the Constitution and can not be unless they are convicted. l.'Mitenant Governor Bilbo, unless he < placed on trial before the opening ' the Legislative session, will un doubtedly preside over the Senate •roceedings. Heretofore he has had strong following in the body, has -radically dominated its proceedings, nd it remains to be seen whether he has suffered any loss of prestige among its members. Message to Hit Graft. Governor Brewer’s biennial mes- - -;e is going to deal strongly' with o Bilbo-Hobbs Indictment, and all other grafting charges developed by iim during the past few months. Just how the Senate is going to receive 'his criticism is an interesting sub pet of comment. The prosecution at Vicksburg is ading every possible energy this v r-ek to get the Hobbs case disposed and Lieutenant Governor Bilbo la.-ed on trial before December 31. Should this endeavor be success ful Bilbo car! not preside over the Senate session until he has answered 'o bribery' Indictment. If the case s once called it is.certain that the •rosecution will force him to trial, and, being in the custody of the War ren County Sheriff, he could hardly desert the trial and journey to Jack in for the Legislative session. 1 >n the other hand, if the trial of •Senator Hobbs should result in a mistrial or acquittal, there is some d-'iiht whether the State will en- ' '.ivor to go immediately into the HiIbo case. Awkward for Hobbs. Senator Hobbs, however, will be in awkward attitude before the Leg- ■ iture, regardless of what may be ? ’ie outcome of his trial. There will ■ a goodly number of members iv convinced that he is guilty, no meter what the jury finding may be, ”'l this will naturally cripple the r '"tigo and influence he has hith- 1 " > held in the body as one of Lieu- mit Governor Bilbo’s most intimate • nrls and trusted lieutenants.

Even the advocates of woman’s suf frage are to be enlisted in the cam paign. and they may play a conspicu ous part In the fight, as their forces will be under the leadership of Miss Belle Kearney, who has shown much political astuteness—In work of this character. Marks Campaign Opening. Simultaneous with the convening of the Legislature, the next guberna torial campaign may be considered as formally opened, and this is going to inject a great deal of politics into the session. Aside from Lieutenant Bilbo, who has been an avowed aspirant for Gov ernor Brewer’s seat for more than a year, it is practically certain that H. M. Quin, Speaker of the House, will be an aspirant, and it is equally cer tain that he is going to command a large following among the members of that body. This means much fac tional politics being played across the corridors. Another prominent occupant of the Statehouse who is charged with hav ing a covetous rye on the Governor ship is Professor J. X. Powers, State Superintendent of Education, and it. is whispered that “Farmer” H. E. Blakeslee, of the Department of Ag riculture, would not be averse to moving his office around the corner to the Executive apartments. There are other candidates, active and prospective, scattered over the State who will figure prominently in the Legislative session, getting their forces organized for the fray. May Fight Appointments. Bight at the outset there will be an interesting complication developed anent the judicial appointment made by Governor Brewer, which will be presented to the Senate for confirma tion. If Lieutenant Governor Bilbo is there to preside, it is generally be lieved that he will oppose all con firmations, basing his opposition not on his personal hostility toward the Governor, of course, but upon the ground that Governor Brewer vetoed the bill providing for an elective ju diciary system, and thus defeated “the will of the people.” All appoint ments made by the Governor up to the special session held last June were confirmed by the Senate, but quite a number have been made since that time. Elective judiciary sentiment is not especially strong among the voters. However, there are a large number of influential members in both houses who sincerely believe in an elective judiciary system, and it is expected that they are going to join hands at the approaching session with the ad vocates of a constitutional conven tion, in order to have their wdshes carried out. Another new proposition to be sub mitted will be a bill providing that members of levee boards shall be elected by the people of the various districts, instead of appointed by the Governor. This will provoke a lively fight. Probers to Report. A very large amount of attention will, of course, be commanded by the report of the joint Legislative inves tigating committee, composed of Sen ators Anderson, Owen and Ellis and Representatives Bramlette and Evans, which has been hard at work for the last six months, probing the various State offices and institutions. Tn addition to demanding a more equitable Legislative apportionment and better taxing laws, South Missis sippi is coming up to Jackson this year with a spirited fight on oyster legislation. The State Oyster Commission in its biennial report recommends the leas ing of oyster beds, and this will be bitterly opposed by oystermen, who have perfected an organization to wage a fight on the ground that the plan of the commission w'ould place all the oyster reefs in the hands of large corporations and deprive them of a livelihood. Many recommendations of vital im portance for the simplification of the code of judicial procedure will be submitted by the Association of judges. There will be human interest meas ures galore, of course, among them being Senator Walker’R bill provid ing for eugenic marriages, copies of which have, been sent to all the mem bers for perusal. Babies Wheeled in Cabs for 1,300 Miles PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 127.—Declaring that they had wheeled their three little girls nearly 1.300 miles in baby car riages. Milton fpdegraff and his wife ar rived in this city after a four months’ journey from Nebraska. The last lap. from Lancaster, Pa., and a few other short stretches, were made in trains, but iim t of the trip was made on foot. T’pdegraff, a native of this city, who was employed as a sheep herder in Ne braska. lost his position and decided tr» come back East. They began the trip more than 16 weeks ago, pushing a pair of 2-year-old twins and another 4-vear- old child in baby carriages. /tf'hnia, STiibb' Cm Dislocates Shoulder Putting on Shirt ST.

Unusual Agreement to Disagree Likely To Be Permanent, Developments Show. COLORADO SPRINGS, Deo. 27.— Neither John Van Alstyne, a St. Jo seph (Mo.) capitalist, nor his young wife kept their tryst here to-day, and it is believed their unique six months’ trial divorce failed to heal their love wounds. Half a year’s separation was to decide whether a permanent di vorce would be sought or whether, after all, their love was enduring ! and they would take up the marital I state anew. On this date, acoordlng I to the agreement of the novel divorce, j they were to be reunited here or make the arrangements for final di vorce proceedings. There IS some speculation as to whether the Inference should be that the six months’ period of separation has proved intolerable and the wealthy young man and his wife have ] thrown the agreement to the winds j and had a reunion. The general be lief is, however, that the trial di- ] vorce will he permanent.

Anne E. Dorsey failed to get a divorce from Jackson H. Dorsey. Here are some of the things sne charged her husband said: That the “other woman” wore her gowns more prepossessingly. That she would be more interesting if she copied the "other woman s" style. That she ought to cultivate the “other woman’s’’ acquaintance and seek her aid in having gowns made. Woman Would Have Drunks Taken Home CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—Representatives of women s organizations recommended to the City Council Judiciary Commit tee the passage of a first aid to the in ebriate ordinance. The ordinance would provide that, when a policeman found an intoxicated man. he should take him home, if the drunken man lived on the policeman's beat. If not, the intoxicated man would he taken to a police station and kept until sober, but not charged with any; offense. The adoption of the measure was urged on humanitarian grounds.

The agreement permitted both to travel where they wished, to go for social pleasures and even flirtation, and required Van Alstyne to send his wife a monthly check which, how ever, was to contain no message of any kind. And she, on the other hand, agreed not to write to him. Love alone was to bring them back to each other here to-day if love withstood the time of separation. Just before her departure to Venice after the trial divorce agreement was made, Mrs. Van Alstyne said: “John was good to me, but we just couldn’t get along together. Neither wanted a divorce, however, so we dec ided on the six months’ trial. Love will work out the problem. If at the end of nix months I keep the tryst, only love will impel me to do so.” Electrician Plans to Lure Fish With Music KANSAS CITY, Dec. 27.—B. C. Haldeman, fire alarm superintendent at fire headquarters, inventor and electrician, is perfecting a device for catching fish. Haldeman contends fish are attracted by lights and mu sic, and the proposed fishing device consists of a telephone reproducer and several small electric lights. A storage battery is used for light ing, and the telephone also is con nected to the storage battery and then to a phonograph by electric wires.

SIOUX CITY, IOWA, Dec. 27.—A vigorous discussion of the delicate subject of eugenics was made by the Rev. E. H Stevens, pastor of the First Baptist Church, in his pulpit last night, in which he advocated the occasional use of the pulpit for the imparting of the teachings of sex morality, if the homes and the schools do not live up to their mission. Other recommendations were mar riage restrictions of a stringent char acter and the rigorous enforcement of sterilization laws against habitual criminals, idots and the otherwise known unfit. It is estimated that every year 60,000,000 babies are borii in the world, said the Rev. Mr. Stevens. Of this number 2,500.000 are born to the parents of our country. A half mil lion of these die before they reach the age of one year. And before the twenty-third year is attained one-lmlf of the total number are dead. This does not take into account the sick ness and distress of those who sur vive. This is a sad record of pain, suffering and grief. How much of it can be prevented? The Costly Deficient. Nor is this all. We are carrying along with our civilization over 500,r 000 of the insane, feeble-minded, epi leptic, blind and deaf, together with 80,000 prisoners, and 100.000 paupers at an annual cost to the country of $100,000,000. How much of this can be prevented? A plague or a dis ease that annually cost our country 4 per cent of its population would at tract attention at once. But we are used to crime, insanity, pauperism, so much so, we expect it. Grant this that there will always be a certain percentage of those who fall far be low the standard, can not something be done to lower this percentage? This is the problem that confronts the nation to-day. The solution of the problem very largely in this. We need a better eugenic conscience. What is eugen ics? Francis Galton defines eugenics as the science that has to do with those “agencies which, under aocial control, may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations, either physical or mental.” Eugenics has to do with the education of fu ture fathers and mothers. Just here is the greatest hope. We can not ex periment on humans as we can on flowers, fruits and guinea pigs. A statistical study of families, groups of people, paces and the lessons there- from must serve as the basis of our instruction. Eugenics discourages the marriage of the unfit. It desires that a “better people shall become better parents of better children. It would renew the world by the prop agation of its strongest and best stocks.” What Study Has Revealed. Years ago, Charles Darwin said, “if we do not prevent the reckless, vicious and otherwise inferior mem bers of society from, increasing at a quicker rate than the better glass of men, the nation will retrograde, as has occurred too often in the history of tlie world.” Professor Davenport, one of the greatest students of eu genics and a recognized authority on the subject, says we can consider marriage from different points of view, for example, the novel, the law. the social standing, but the biologist says, “marriage is an experiment in breeding, and the children, in their varied combinations of characters, give the result of the experiment.” Studies have been made of some well-known families. In 1877 it was discovered that the progeny of a cer tain Max Jutes, a worthless sot, in Western New York, was notoriously had. “About a third of this degener ate strain died in infancy, 310 indi viduals were pauners who all togeth er spent a total of 2,300 years in almshouses, while 440 were physical wrecks. In addition to this, over one- half of the female descendants were prostitutes, and 130 individuals were convicted criminals, including seven murderers. Not one of the entire family had a common school educa tion, although the children of other families in the same region found a way to educational advantages. Only twenty individuals learned a trade, and ten of these did so in State's prison.” This one family had cost the State of New York over $1,250,- 000, and the end is not yet. Happy Contrast. Studies have been made of 1,394 descendants of Jonathan Edwards, and “almost if not every department of social progress and of public weal has felt Hie impulse of this healthy, long-lived family. Tt Is not known that any one of them was ever con victed of crime.” What is being done? We are making further investiga-. tions to know the truth. Studies have been made of people living In re stricted areas, islands off the coast of Maine, in certain valleys shut off from the rest of the world by hills and mountains. We are also making a «tudy of religious barriers, dans and so on. Education Essential. The facts ascertained show that consanguinous marriages and inter breeding are harmful. Defect meets defect here more often than ordinari ly. Law can do something to pre vent, but reliance must be had on better education. The people must know tho facts. To insure a better eugenic con- I science parents, teachers, ministers | and physicians must work together. | The question is sometimes asked. Is j it wise to present this subject before the children of the public school. It | depends. It might be done by a mln- . ister or physician more effectively than by the teacher. The pulpit could furnish a means of education if , turned over to the physician at stated times, at least twice a year. But the parents must do their share of instruction, and the facts are more and more placed at their disposal. CHILDREN MEND OWN SHOES- K A NBAS • TTY, M < >. I >ec. 27.

Margaret T. Gor don in the United States Court for $60,000 damages because, he alleges, she exercises mystic power over him. Gannon is a bricklayer, while Mrs. Gordon is prominent in Scranton so ciety. Gannon’s home town is Scra- ton. Pa., and he met Mrs. Gordon there. They have beeji friends from youth. Gannon said last evening: “She first displayed her power over me in the«spring of 1900. For six days 1 did not sleep an hour, and it was two weeks before I learned that she was responsible for it. She told me she did it, and told me In the presence of a witness. She lias communicated with me constantly since then. "She has kept me awake night after night until 3 o’clock in the morning, and she always awakens me at 6 o’clock in the morning. She reads my mind. In fact, she knows every thing I do. She sends telepathic mes sages to me, telling me what I do and sometimes she tells me what she Is doing.” “Does she suggest anything that would make you afraid?” “No, she can’t make me afraid. She had me arrested and taken to Hills dale Asylum, near Scranton. I stayed there 27 days. They could find noth ing wrong with me and let me go. She makes me cough, and then the doctors give me medicine when I have no cold. She has given me a lame back several times. So I had to throw up my job as a bricklayer. I have lost much money besides being subjected to much mental anguish. I put the damages high so as to show her I meant business.” "How does she explain these pow ers over you?” “She was a pious girl In her youth, and she says she has worked a mir acle on me.” Gannon came to this city about three years ago. He is 40 years old. Is stockily built, has blue eyes and close-cropped steel gray hair. Mrs. Gordon Denies It. SCRANTON. PA., Dec. 27.—Mrs. Margaret T. Gordon, a comely widow, 30 years old, against whom an action for damages has been brought by Thomas F. Gannon, of Rochester, N. Y., in the United States Court here, became indignant to-day when asked to give her version of the case. “Why, what an idea,” she said, “that I should keep him awake, cause him nausea, to suffer indigestion and cause him to walk lame and make him sick and sore at will, as he al leges in 11is complaint! Why, I never even saw the fellow hut once or twice in my life. The first time he met me in front of St. Peter’s Cathedral and demanded that I give up some valu able papers In my possession.” Mrs. Gordon’s sister, with whom she lives, in Harrison avenue, de clared that the charge was an outrage .and that whatever fortune Mrs. Gor- ' don possessed would be used In fight- ‘ ing the charges brought against her by Gannon. Mrs. Gordon is the widow of Thomas Gordon, who was one of the most prominent business men of the city. Before her marriage she was Miss Margaret T. Thornton and was considered a belle In local society. Gannon in his complaint syas he has been acquainted with Mrs. Gor don since childhood, which statement she denies. He declares she has ex erted this influence for the last thir teen years. Gannon once lived In Scranton. His counsel Is George W. Wheeler, of Buffalo.

V,.~~ Since the first round-up wu given here, in 1910, the cow country h&* tone rounS-up cra«y, and bucking horses have Jumped from a few dol lars to a thousand. Since the round-up in 1910 mora than a hundred havs been had 1n tha West and Northwest. There are three grades of bucking horses—the outlaw, the trained buck., er and the show bucker. These ooie^ ms net fabulous prices, conilcleriuk their ordinary worthlessness. The trained bucker is a horse which has been encouraged to exert himself in perfecting: some particular twist or motion In his bucking, this being ac compltshed by saddling him with a dummv and pulling the dummy oft whenever the horse gets into the par ticular “buck’’ for whloh he Is being trained. Horse Soon Learns. He soon learns to get into It ths first jump, and then he la a. trained bucker, perhaps just as good or bad a bucker as the outlaw, but he has not the staying qualities nor the ver satility of the outlaw. The show bucker is a horse that any cowboy can ride, and is used merely for show purposes, his buck ing being showy. If the outlaw or trained buckar does not throw his man within the first 30 seconds, In all probability he will not throw him at all. The trained bucker, If unable to throw his man and allowed to buck for a minute, will have thoroughly exhausted a.ll his bucking resource* and start to running. Thus he be comes a runaway. When mounted the next day, he will Immediate!’' start running. His value then as a bucker horse Is nothing. The outlaw, on the other hand, tfe - velops into a fail-back, the only sure man-killer among bucking horses. If he does not dislodge his man within the first half minute, h* will exet* himself more and more, always try ing to climb from under the rider bv getting up on hie hind feet. Some times he gets up too quick and goes over backward. If he falls fairly on the rider, it means broken ribs, legs or arms, and sometimes a broken neck. Outlaw a Wild Spirit. The outlaw 1s a wise, wild spirit Finding that he rids himself of hi* rider by this method, he will no long er make those high dives, side-winds, or other futile movements, but the moment the blind is pulled from his eyes and the snubber turns him loose t he throws himself backward. There are to-day running free In the cow country many outlaws who once were good buckers and’worth tt thousand dollars, but now wor'.it nothing because they are fall-backs. When a horse gets the reputation of ht ing a fail-back, no man will mount him. But even If the boys would mount him, no self-respecting communllt' would permit the horse to b» put In the list. Hunting outlaw buckers has taken the place of prospecting for goU mines And the country and nation at large encourages them In this, for ther* come here to the round-up more than 75,000 people each year. In the latter part of September, while the normal population of the town Is less than 0,000. XMAS RATES Reduced over N., C. & St. L. Ry. and W. & A. R. R. Apply any Agent.
