Former Judge Wylie Potter was tlje first wit ness in the Dulaney bribery case here today. He corroborated the tes timony of witnesses yesterday as to the caucus meeting at which Senator Bilbo unfolded his suspicions as to the brokerage in legislative votes.. Senator Bilbo w as recalled by the l defense and argument was made by counsel for Dulaney asking admission of testimony by which they claimed they would show through Bilbo's own i evidence that he had been a de baucher and was dissolute in New Orleans at the time h was alleged to have the bribe money with him. The court held that the same class of testimony had already been ruled out and refused to admit the. evi dence. The jury was absent from the court, room during the argument. The defense then introduced tes timony which is intended further to weaken the character of Bilbo by showing questionable acts while he was chairman of a legislative com mittee. There was a wave of interest creat ed when T. R. James, of Lucedafc, lueorge county, iook me siaua tor tne defense. He was interrogated by counsel as to whether he had paid a bribe to Senator Bilbo as chairman of the local and private legislation com mittee to influence his interest in what is known as the George county bill. At this point J. S. Perrin, local at-r torney, announced to the cour that, as representing James, he claimed immunity for hi client from answer ing any question that would incrim inate himself. The witness declined to answer the question and was promptly excused. The court then ordered the jury to retire and informed Mr. James that he was held in the sum of $1,000 to appear before the grand jury of Hind's county, which meets next week. The district attorney promptly ask ed that Senator Bilbe be bound over, to which the court agreed, and he was sent for and formally notified that he must consider hinis-eif bound over. His reply was: "Certainly, judge, I shall be delighted.'' . Z)ljesiSr c O el J r MAP OF MEXICO.

City To Entertain All The Governors In Frankfort, Ky. By Assocated Press. Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 29. Finding herself somewhat embarrassed by not being able to provide enough automo biles to put one at the disposal of each visiting governor, Frankfort called upon her sister city, Lexington, to send over a few in order that the members of the governors' meeting here today might be entertained ac cording to the program. Lexington was willing and several machines were sent over in time for the arrival of most of the chief executives this morn ing. The third conference of governors, one of the most notable gatherings of the world, began at 2 o'clock this afternoon when Governor Willson welcomed the chief executives to the blue grass state. Mayor Polsgrove then welcomed them to its capital. Governor Pothier of Rhode Island, responded and Governor-elect Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, spoke on the possibilities of this conference. As the governors are to meet at Frank fort only today, citizens crowded all the hospitality and entertainement into the. short time as possible. Pro vision wras made for twenty-three of the executives and ladies at private homes and not a minute of their time was allowed to lag. Never before has Kentucky had such a gathering within her confines and an effort was made to have the visitors make speeches, officiate at corner stone layings and other functions. The democrats here wanted to give a ban quet to the visitors of their party, and like plans were made by the republi cans. Governor Wilson soon put a stop to such plans, however. Aside from the entertainment be tween Sessions, Governor Willson will let nothing interfere with the program, particularly in a political way. The visitors will be received as governors, not as politicians. Neither will the time of any one of them be taken up by making a speech at any function of the requests of Kentucky's executive are heeded. Institutions here and in j Louisiana had planned to have some ; of the governors present at celebra- j tions. j Each governor was met this morning i by a personal escort and taken in an i automobile, which wras at ms disposal during his stay here, to one ot Frank - fort's nalatial homes. At noon a lunch - eon was given and shortly after 2 o'clock the first session was- held in Kentucky's new state capitol. The city for the murder of Alma Kellner, op is entertaining its guests on a scale ! ened this morning with prospects fa befitting the state's reputation for hos-1 voring the completion of the jury by pitality and it is being received with grace, particularly so because many of the recipients have recently passed tbrougji strenuous times and the glad to have a little diversion. Department Meet food statues, Mr. "McCabe said, previ ous to the opening of the convention: "We have reduced the percentage of adulterations down to such a small margin that it is almost negiible by the enforcement of the pure food laws. This is not accomplished so much by the fines that are imposed, but by the provision of the law which permits us to print 20,000 copiers of this judg ment for general circulation. The man ufacturers have learned that -this hurts their business, especially when their competitors have taken advant age of the printed matter to flood the country with copies of it. The great trouble seems to have been in mis branding. This is the rock on which the manufacturers break. Some of them can't tell the truth, and. the work of forcing them to do it is "tedious, but the convictions by the department are doing,' much to teach them."
