RECENTLY PASSED IN TENNESSEE

ALLEGED ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF TWO ACTS
RECENTLY PASSED IN TENNESSEE
Chattanooga Tenn, Sept. 24.-The last Legislature
Of this state passed two laws to regulate elections
The first is known as the Registration Law, and tho
second uiit. The registration Law
applies to cities Of certain size. and includes
Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga, and
only two counties--Shelby and Davidson The Dortch
bill prescribes method similar to the Australian
plan; the voters being required to select and marx
OFF from ticket the name Of such persons as they
desire to vote for thus necessitang their being able
to read. Ever since the passage of these laws the
Republicans in the cities and counties mentioned have
been opposing them, and, though formal protest
was fled the regis uation booths in this city and
at Nashville, recently CLOSED, preparatory to tho
municipal elections, bills filed here to-day
challenging the constutonality of the acts, both In
the Federal Court and the Chancery Court of the
State.
The bill IN the Federal Court is sworn to by five
negroes who make their mark and who say that they
cannot read and would therefore, be dsfranchised by
the action Of the Dortch law. The suit Is brought
nnder the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment to
the United States Constitution 1t Is asserted in the
bill that both laws are in violation of the state Con.
sttuton, and therefore, that compainants have the
right appeal to the Federal Court for relief The
bill In chancery Is filed under Article L. Section l, of
the state Constitution, which guarantees 10 every
citizen OF the State complying with the requirements
to citizenship, the right to VOTE and no qualifica
shall be required except the payment Of poll tax"
The bill also pleads that the Registration Law Is
special class leg station.
munic pal election is pending in this city under
the laws, and the fling of the bills has created
considerable sensation, the purpose to prevent
an election under these laws. United states District
attacking the Dortch act on the ground that the
matter did not como under his jurisdiction.

solid rock by Mr.. Hutfmans men earlier IN the
week had been loaded with cartridges by Mr.. HUH
man, who always tamped the load with dirt
While he was doing this one of the cartridges
suddenly exploded The one charge caused the
explosion of several other loads, and tons OF rock
were displaced by the heavy shock. When ex-
plosion after explosion had ceased, the quarry
helpers approached the spot where Mr. HUFFMAN
lay.
The unfortunate mans face was unrecoSnlzaDle.
One iawbone was crushed into splinters and
several teeth were protruding from the upper
part of the nose while others were blown entlrcy
through the nose. The eyes were gone, as well
as a great quantity of hair. One hand was
torn off, and one leg badly cut and bruised
His body was one mass of bruises and cuts, while
in various parts of his skull the physicians alter
ward found bits of broken rock. No hopes Oh
his recovery are entertained. II he lives ne
