BRIBERY CHARGED IN PERCY ELECTION Jackson, Miss., March' 29 The grand jury today indicted L. C. Dutaney, ac cused of having, resorted to bribery in behalf of United States Senator Leroy Percy In the recent light for the United States senatorshlp in which Percy beat ex-Governor Vardaman. The grand jury refused to Indict Theodore O. Bilbo whose testimoney that he had accepted money ffofh Dulaney brought on the expose. i ' ' ' Dulaney was arrested and gave bond in the sum of $5,000. He declared that he will demand a full probing of the charges before the legislature and also an immediate trial in the circuit court. His attorney Is Hon. Ben R. Wells, one of the best known criminal lawyers in the state. Bilbo today made his first public statement, declaring that his aceptance of money was part of a plot to lead on the adherents of Percy, whom he believed to be using unfair means. He explains his failure to make the charges public when the senatorial fight was on by declaring that feeling was so bitter he feared personal difficulties. Bilbo says that, convinced undue in fluences .was being used against Varda man, hp planned a. trap with W. H. Potter, the Rev. S. B. Culpepper, Presi dent Clarke of the Newton Memorial College, Tv. P. Barr. a merchant, and others. He led Dulaney on, he says, and agreed to take $1,000, but could not Induce Dulaney to pass It where he had (Dr. Culpepper) hidden. After he took the money.

Before the Kasler recess was taken, the premier had an nounced that this would lie muved im mediately after the holiday. - Both sides were prepared for a long discussion on the government's i 1 beginning Immediately and expected to Inst three weeks. There is no doubt, however, that 'the resolutions will be adopted by tin commons. The climax will come when they are presented to the house -.of lords. The upper chamber it Is believed will reject, them as summarily as it did the budget, or put theiri over, plead ing that the plans for reformation al ready taken up by the .lords' must 'be considered first. Only capitulation an' unexpected and improbable acceptance of the commons' decision can keep the premier from ap pealing to tlie king of creation of enough peers to assume a government majority in the. lords.. There' is little belief that the king will accede to such a proposal, and his refusal must mean the retirement of the ministry and another general election, having for its sole issue the. veto of the lords power. ','- The condition: of the nations finances is one of the most powerful causes oi the demand for a speedy solution of 3 regards the budget. The lack of a financial program for the government is held directly resoon- Ible for the wave nf speculation which has reached its greatest importance m the, riibb' itradiiig. a -modern repetition of - the famous South Sea -speculation davs before thai bubble burst,-Money rates are risiiis;- and consold have -gone down almost the lowest point in sixty years. , - ' This is due 'to the fact that, while the government is burrowing money for the current expenses. tie London banks hold heavy deposits, put in by tax payers for transference, to the ex chequer when the budget is passed and tax collecting resumed. The banks loan this money on the stock exchange and the speculation is the resu't. A financial period of stress is looked for when the budget is passed, and the money borrowed for speculation must go to the government as fhxos. THK .-i.WLF.H CASE.

Last year corn fed cattle were scarce, so the price went up, and along wita it tne price of range fed cattle. The cause of the scarcity was the high price of corn. That was one of the causes of the high price of meat. Auotner was the Increase in price of everything that the cattlemen purchased. It cost more to raise cattle. Another cause was railroad discrimination, and the scarcity of cars at the time they were needed. , "Another cause," he declared, "was because many young cuttle and calves were being killed." He said hides had gone up since the tariff law was enacted, notwithstanding the removal of the duty, and they would have gone up fifteen percent more but for the removal of the duty. ;.

Topping a mass of damaging new evidence with the statement, of the young woman clerk who sold him his paint on the day of the tragedy, and t hus, they claim, completely 'smash ing the alibi he has labored so hard to set up, the police today declare there is no longer any doubt that Wolter killed little. Ruth Wheeler and burned her body, Wolter, in his many statements to detectives and reporters', has insisted all along that he bought the paint for use on his fireplace on Thursday morning, the day Rut h Wheeler was killed. In direct contradiction of this the young woniti who sold him the paint, an exploye of a Harlem .cheap store, located after long search, says he bought the 'paint in the afternoon. Detective Devine, of the East Sixty-seventh street station, found the young woman who sold the paint. "I remember the sale perfectly and fully identified Wolter's '' photograph.
