Union City, Tenn., Dec. 18.—That 7. H. Russell, the first juror selected In the trial of the eight night riders, charged with the murder of Captain Quentin Rankin, is the father of a known night rider, who will be used as a witness, was the startling state- ment made by the state when court npened. The charge was made in the form of an Gfidavic filed By Attorney General Caldwell. It set forth that Juror Russell was the father of Charles Russell, a man who was sworn into the masked band by -one of the defendants now on trial and who was a member of the band upon more than one ride. Russell admit- ted that he was the father of the i rider, Russell, and was excused by the court over the protests of the de- fense. FRANK DERUSHIA KILLED NEAR LIBBY, MONTANA Was Walking on Railroad Track With Companion.—His Parents Reside in Bemidji. The Pioneer has received a recent copy of the Western News, published at Libbey, Montana, which gives an account of the accidental Kkilling of Frank Derushia, son of Mr. and Mrs. Derushia who live in Nymore. From the newspaper, it appears that young Derushia, in company with Alfred Richmond of Toma, Wis., had been skating about one- half mile west of Troy, near Libby. The two skaters were returning to Troy on the main track of the Great Northern railroad, and did not see the approach of a train until it was too late for the engineer to apply the breaks and avoid striking then. Before the engineer could stop, the pilot struck both Derushia and Richmond and threw them from the track. Richmond was instantly killed, his neck, right arm and both legs being broken. Derushia sustained a deep gash in his forehead and one in the back of his head,"the latter causing concussion of the brain. Although a physician worked for several hours over Derushia, he died without regaining consciousness. Frank Derushia left Eemidji about six years ago. He was about twenty-two years of age and is survived by a father, mother, two brothers and several sisters. The Pioneer has no information as to just what was done with the body of young Derushia, although we are told thata brother of the deceased was sent out west to look after the proper burial of the dead young man. 1909 Dairies at the Pioneer office.

CHICAGO CHURCHES ABLAZE Incendiary Fires Started by Fanatics or Burglars. Chicago, Dec. 18.—Fires of incen- diary origin broke out almost simul- taneously at the Thoburn Methodist Episcopal church and the Drexel Park Presbyterian church, which are only a block apart. Two theories, one that purglars who wished to ransack neighboring houses set the fires to at- tract residents out of doors and the other that it was the work of some veligious fanatic, were expressed. The monetary loss was not large.

ACTION IS UNANIMOUS Preamble of Resolution Adopted De- clares That the Plain Meaning of the Language Used in His Annual Message Is That a Majority of the Congressmen Were in Fear of Be- ing Investigated. ‘Washington, Dec. 18.—Chairman Perkins of the house special commit- tee appointed to recommend a course of action relative to the suggestions of the president in his annual mes- sage concerngug the secret service, te which mem®:rs of congress have taken exception, presented the report of that committee at the beginning of the session of the house. The report recommends the adoption of a resolu- tion calling upon the president to sup- ply the house with the evidence upon which he based his statement that the members of the house were prin- cipally concerned over the fact that the secret service men had been in- vestigating members themselves. The house adopted the resolution without a dissenting vote and after very little comment. Mr. Cockran of New York suggested that it should be made ap- plicable to congress as a whole and not merely to. the house, but the change was not made. In the preamble to the resolution it is declared that the plain meaning of the president’s words is “that the ma- jority of the congressmen were in fear of being investigated by secret serv- ice men and that congress as a whole ‘was actuated by that motive in en- acting the provision in question.” The text of the resolution follows: Request Is Definite, “Resolved, That the president be requested to transmit to the house the evidence upon which he based his statements that the ‘chief argument in favor of the provision was that the congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men’ and also to transmit to the house any evidence connecling any member of the house of representa- tives of the Sixtieth congress with corrupt action in his official capacity and to inform the house whether he has instituted proceedings for the punishment of any such individual by the courts or has reported any such alleged delinquencies to the house of vepresentatives.” In reporting the resolution Mr. Per- kins said it had been recommended unanimously by the special committee and said that as soon as the president ghould send in any information in his possession the committee would make another report for the consideration of the house. Mr. Williams said the committee would impartially report upon “this seemingly unprovoked and unjustified attack upon the honesty and reputa- tion of the legislative branch of the government. “So far as the cormmittee knows,” sald Mr. Williams, “there is not a scintilla of evidence to support that statement by the president. The com- mittee has thought it would be fair to the president to glve him further op- portunity to produce testimony if he has any. The American people have a right to know if the Amerlcan con- gress be corrupt.” AFFECTING MARINE CORPS Senator Rayner Wants Executive Or- ders Investigated. ‘Washington, Dec. 18.—Senator Ray- ner has introduced a resolution call- ing upon the committee on military |affairs to investigate the series of or- ders promulgated by the president in relation to the marine corps, which recently was detached from the bat- tleships. In his resolution Mr. Ray- ner asked that the committee report ‘whether congress has not the right to prescribe a set of rules for the govern- ment of the marine corps which will bind the president, as commander-in- chief of the army and navy, to con- tinue the corps in the purpose intend- ed by law. At the request of Senator Hale the resolution was referred to the commit- tee on naval affairs, the marine corps being a part of the naval organiza- tion. Mr. Rayner said he had no ob- jection to this order, as he had named the military committee because he had understood that the president had transferred the marine corps from bat- tleships and made of the men police- men, patrolmen, janitors or some- thing like that.
