I haven't sense enough to diagnose it s case." This is the curt and characteristic comment made by Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, when asked for a further expression as to His opinion of tho body of which ho Is a. member. Recently he had said that he would not serve in the senate after the ex piration of his present term. Ho de clared in a letter to one of his con stituents that he "would rather be a dog and bay the moon" the rest of his life than to serve ono slnglo day in the senate after his term expired. It would bo Interesting to hear from Senator Williams a full explanation of what has caused him to form this conclusion. It would be worth the thoughtful consideration of the! American people for them to know I from John Kharp Williams himself,) In his own forceful way, what has disgusted him with the United Btates sonate. Those who know the Mississippi senator and havo watched his efforts, his performances and his declarations on the floor of the sonato have uln glcd him out as a rare quantity and one of the few men in that body who possesses the essential elements of statesmanship; ono who Is unself ish in hlH devotion to public duty, antagonistic to wrong in public office, "Only I and always brave In peril, daring and Is the resourceful in emergency, unawed oy the insolence of office, unswayea ny the clamor of tho mob; firm in his convictions, clear In his vision, a statesman una a painui. i . ,u .... wnn.m. t..ii.v. in o t Associated Charities Helped u hjiiii . t . ,...... -. . - - representative government.

"And now for the terrible part. The entire house and garden (a gar den of about two acres in extent, I would say), were surrounded by a high brick wall as well as were the smaller buildings, such as stables, carriage houses, etc., and it was here the orgies of torture and murders were held. At first, I am told, execu tions were made in the garden, but later transferred to the stable, which was prepared In proper shape for a human alaughter house. An electric light polo and light was put un to throw plenty of light at night. Here the victims, hands tied, were forced to kneel and face the firing squad, and nightly these executions took place. A Groat Pit. "A short distance from the slaught er house, in the middle of the garden, was dug a great pit some twenty feet wide by forty or fifty feot long, how deep I don't know, as It has only been excavated to a depth of Ave feet and thus far the bodies of some cluhtv victims removea. 1 know it is hard to believe, but it Is true, as thous ands of witnesses will tell you, and the photographs I am bringing back will show.
