RIOT RULED THE CAUCUS.
Mr. Bird Wanted to Dissolve the Body
by Formal Resolution.
Galvanized from a condition of apa
thetic indifference which has clmrac-(
lerized the senatorial caucus and the |
monotonous roll calls for the casting of
ballots, the democratic caucus Door was
transformed into a bcdlamic scene for
nearly an hour this afternoon. It was
the natural consequence of what would
be expected to follow any radical or
advanced movement, such as the formal
resolution to dissolve the caucus, intro
duced at the outset by Mr. Bird of Law
rence county.
There was a period of perfect quiet,
an ominous stillness, while the clerk
read the following resolution, which Mr.
Bird sent to the desk;
‘Whereas, the federal statutes require
that the Legislature, in the election of a
United States senator, take one ballot
each day in joint assembly; and
“Whereas, every member of tins dem
ocratic caucus is a member of the legis
lature, and that a meeting of this caucus
once each day takes up unnecessary
time, impedes the progress of legislation,
and entails an extra ex|>cnse to the tax
payers of the state; therefore, be it
“Resolved, That this caucus be now
dissolved.”
Mr. Bird then made a few remarks in
support of the resolution, declaring that
it was conceived in the interest of nobody
and represented no side or faction, and
that he was entirely responsible. He
was in favor of doing away with the
caucus and let them get down in open
session and vote viva voce and stop this
temporizing with the situation before
them.
Then the storm broke. It was started
when Mr. Gibbs, senator from Yazoo,
took the floor and attempted ot make
himself heard, and for a time it seemed
as if every voice in the galleries and on
the floor was trying to speak nut at once
and from varying angles of view points.
The motion to table having prevailed,
and quiet being restored, the formality
of balloting was taken up, the storm
having subsided, and It was as though
nothing out of the ordinary had oc
curred.
The next feature was the withdrawal
of Judge fritz from the race, which was
announced in a brief speech from Sena
tor llibblcr of West Point, who in pass
ing thanked the caucus for the courtesy
and consideration shown him. It was
known that Judge fritz would withdraw,
and with this in view he was given a
flattering complimentary vote on the
first ballot.
Thirty-second Ballot—Vardanian, 03;
Percy, 34; Alexander, 20; fritz, 24;
Kyle, 14; Byrd, 14; Street, 3; Whit
field, 1.
Thirty-third Ballot —-Vardanian, 71;
Percy, 33; Alexander, 30; Byrd, 18;
Kyle, 15; Street, 3; Whitfield, I.
Farmers’ Day in Legislature.
Wednesday was strictly agricultural
legislation day in each branch of the
assembly, the farmer and the farming
industry being the main thing in flic
mind’s eye of the legislators, individ
ually and collectively. In the senate
the Franklin County Agricultural High
School bill stirred the fires of debate
throughout the two hours’ session, but
was finally passed by a good majority
of 37 to 2. The measure passed sub
stantially as it came from the commit
tee, leaving it discretionary with the
county boards to provide separate
schools for the separate races, and regu
lating the matter of petitioning against
establishment. The house passed three
measures affecting the interests of the
agricultural classes, the first being the
“hog and hominal’’ bill, which gives prizes
for best products of their farms in the
way of corn raising and live stock breed
ing, as well ns horticultural products.
The fact that the bill passed without a
dissenting vote indicated the attitude
of the house on that line. The same
body also passed two branch agricul
tural experiment station bills, locating
one in the prairie belt and another in
East Mississippi, the trustees of the A.
& M. College being clothed with the re
sponsibility of locating and starting
both.
Favor Income Tax.
A concurrent resolution was presented
by Mr. Dorroh, of Noxubee, for the
purpose of indorsing the proposed six
teenth amendment to the federal consti
tution, authorizing the levying of an in
come tax, which it is expected will pass
•asily.
County Treasurer May Go.
The senate passed the bill which has
for its purpose the doing away with
municipal treasurers, providing in lieu
thereof municipal depositories. It is the
saine principle in effect as governs the
state and county depository legislation.
Death to Traveling Jag.
You must not get drunk on a passen
ger train, according to a bill-introduced
in the senate by Mr. Leftwich. The
I.eftwich hi’l is intended to strengthen
the profilin 'ion Inw. Briefly stated, it
provides tl-tt a person who becomes in
toxicated on board a passenger train
within the limits of this stale shall bo
put off at the first station where a stop
is made and turned over to the author
ities for punishment in accordance with
the Statutes provided for men who ac
quire stationary jags.
State Has Fat Treasury.
The receipts of the State treasury
passed the million-dollar mark Saturday,
the exact amount received up to that
time, according to the books of Audi
tor Smith, having been $1,078,590.56, ex
clusive of the settlements of four sher
iffs for December tax collections, whose
reports have been received, but whose re
mittances have not yet been credited,
amounting to on additional $38,558.44,
and which will run the total up to sl,-
107,149. Besides this, it is certain that
more than $12,000 will yet be turned in
by Secretary Yerger, of the prison
board, in settlement for cotton sales,
etc.
The estimate of Deputy Auditor D. L.
Thompson, made several months ago,
placed the total January receipts at sl,-
126,782.11, and present indications are
that this estimate will not be far
wrong. The balance in the State treas
ury and in the sixty-one State deposi
tories Monday morning was $936,363.35,
according to the books of Treasurer Ed
wards, only a small portion of this be
ing actually in the strong box at the
capitol.
Street Got Thirteen Votes.
Two ballots were taken by the sena
torial caucus Thursday, with no mate
rial change in the result, and the dead
lock is as firm as before Senator Ander
son withdrew from the contest. Varda
nian fell to 70 votes on the first ballot
and dropped to 68 on the second. Speak
er Street got 13 on the first ballot, and
fearing that this might prove unlucky
for him, one of his friends switched, and
on the next whirl he got only 13. There
were no withdrawals announced, and
the casting of the twenty-eighth ballot
was proceeded with. The process pos
sessed the usual interest to the occu
pants of the crowded galleries, but these
citizens who are looking on at the game
are becoming rather blase, having be
come accustomed to the procedure after
some twelve days of repetition.
Stirling Becomes Bank President.
There is considerable speculation as to
who will fall heir to the office of attor
ney-gcncral, which is the most important
matter now before Gov, Noel, owing to
the tender of his resignation by Attor
ney-General J. B. Stirling, who has been
chosen as president of the First National
Bank to succeed the late Ur. S. S. Car
ter. The position may be given to As
sistant Attorney-General George Butler,
who, it is understood, would accept the
portfolio if tendered, or the governor
may appoint former State Senator H. H.
Elmore, of Lexington, a former asso
ciate in practice with Gov. Noel.
Two Reports on Frat Bill.
The house committee on education,
which reported favorably, by a major,
ity vote, the Russell “anti-fraternity”
bill, which proposes to abolish from the
University of Mississippi and all other
schools or colleges supported in whole or
in part by the state the time-honored
Greek-lettcr fraternities, was met by a
minority report, signed by Messrs. Curd,
Frierson and Cox.
Make Cocaine Sale a Felony.
If a bill passed by the lower house of
the state legislature is adopted by the
state senate, the sale of cocaine in Mis
sissippi will hereafter be regarded as a
felony instead of a misdemeanor, ns at
present. The bill provides a penalty in
the state penitentiary of ten years.
Seek Experiment Station.
The agricultural experiment station
epidemic, w-hich had already sprung up
in almost every other section of the
state, has now spread to the coast coun
try, where there exists a soil and cli
mate in many respects peculiar to that
immediate vicinity and differing from
that around any of the existing stations,
although the McNeil station, in Pearl
River county, is only a few miles from
the coast. The demand for this new
coast station comes particularly from
Gulfport, whose business interests arc
combining to have it established in that
vicinity.
New Apportionment.
Representative Yates of Marion coun
ty introduced the expected constitutional
convention bill, which he believes has fa
vorable chances for passage at this ses
sion. The bill provides for the calling
of a constitutional convention in No
vember, the members or delegates to be
chosen at the polls during the summer,
and the specific object is for a general
legislative of the State.
Greeks Still in Fight.
The several Greek letter fraternities
at the State educational institutions
have prepared a lengthy address to the
Legislature, setting forth strong argu
ments why the Russell bill, which seeks
to abolish these organizations, should
not be passed.
Dr. McCormick May Speak.
Dr. S, H. McLean, secretary of the
State board of health, is looking for
ward with interest to the expected visit
of Dr. J, H. McCormick, the hygienia
demonstrator of Louisville, expert of the
American Medical Association, who may
be here during the next fortnight. Dr.
McCormick made a distinct impression
hero last year when he lectured to an
audience at the First Methodist rhur-ib,
and it is expected that the Legislature
will adopt a joint resolution during the
next day or two, inviting Dr. McCoj click
to address the joint assembly.
