ident, 'who holds the key to the door by
which members of congress are admitted
to the President" denying the right to a
representative of the people to see the
President
On the occasion of his last visit Mr..
Cooper said he had just been informed
that the bill had been returned to the
President by the department of justice,
without recommendation. The secretary
told him, at first, that the President had
not acted upon the bill, but when Cooper
told him that the bill had been sent over
from the department of justice, the sec
retary made inquiry and reported that
the President had acted upon the bill,
and had veto message prepared. Then,
Mr.. Cooper said he again asked for a
personal interview with the President
that he might present the reasons why
the bill should become a law. But the
secretary refused him access, saying that
the President lad made up his mind and
that it would be useless to see him.
In view of these facts, Mr.. Cooper said
the reason advanced by the President was
no reason, and asked the House to pass
the bill over the veto, as recommended.
Mr.. Grosvenor inferred that Mr.. Cooper
had experienced some difficulty i'm seeing
the President. 1t was unfortunate that
for three years past few self-respectins
representatives would make any effort TO
see the President. 1t was represented
that he had issued an order that no con-
gressman or representative should present
himself in person until he had bowed be-
fore a secretary and received for his err
rand the sanction of that august perso-
mango.
AT that time continued Mr.. Grosvenor
l was in the midst of matter connected
with my official relations to the President,
and after having concluded it, l filed a
statement at the executive mansion that
l would never again seek to see the Pres
ident under the present administration,
and l have kept my word. My constitu-
ents never commissioned me to seek the
President through private secretary. "
He went on to say that the President had
excluded himself from communication
with congressman and representatives.
He surrounds himself with a skirmish
line of moderate capacity, and keeps him
self away from us. / condemn myself for
not having expressed these views two
years ago when, if they had been carefully
considered by the parties in interest, there
might now be two or three friends of the
President in congress.
Mr.. Dalzell said it would be better in
the next administration.
Mr. Grosvenor-I cannot speak for that.
but 1 may express the hope that never
again will there be an administration
which will refuse access of the represen-
tatives of the people. When the President
| fences himself in he should be careful that
the portals should be guarded by the high
| est intellect of the country.
Mr.. Grosvenor continuing, said that If
the President told the truth in his veto
| message about the condition of affairs in
Texas the bill ought not to pass. The bill
was passed, 14 to 6S, more than two-thirds
in the affirmative.
At the evening session, the private pen
sion bills previously reported from the
committee of the whole, were passed. AT
1915 the house adjourned until Monday
next.

A MOB AvENGES ASSAULT.
TWO NEGROES IN TwIGGs COUNTY
TIED TO A TREE.

They Were Charged with Murder
and MurderOus Assault ON the
Rowland Family at Adams Park.
The Citizens of JefersOnviIIe Dis
claim Any knowledge of the Per-
petrntOrs of the Outrage ON jus
tice-Twigg COunty's First Execu-
tiOn.
Jenersonville, Ga. Jan. 22.-When the
people Of Jeffersonville awoke this morn
ing they found two negroes hanging to a
tree near the Jail.
The negroes were Charles Forsyth ana
Willis White. charged with the assault
upon the Rowland family, at Adam park,
on the night of Jan. g. and the murder OF
Mrs. Rowland. Forsyth confessed the
crime and implicated Willis White. He
later denied his guilt.
A negro named Robinson was also arrest
ed at the same time, but was discharged
for lack Of evidence.
No one in Jeffersonville seems to know
anything about the lynching. The only
persons supposed to have any idea as to-
the manner of their death is an old negro
who lives on the first floor of the Jail and
acts as jailer and janitor. He says a num-
her of masked mon came to the Jail at
midnight and proceeded to break in. At
once Forsyth and Willis began crying and
praying for mercy and help. The mob
was orderly and went about the work in
a business-like way, taking the men with
out much disturbance, and swinging them
up without any preliminaries The first
idea was to hang them on the gallows
erected for Mrs. Mobiles and Gus Families,
but the structure was found to be insecure,
so the limb of a nearby tree was utilized.
AS soon as the negroes were strung up
the mob began firing into their writhing
bodies, and when taken down this morning
they were found to be pumped full of lead
The finding of the bodies seemingly
caused a great deal of surprise, notwith-
standing the amount of shooting that had
taken place.
The bodies were cut down and carried
into the court house, where a coroners
inquest was held this afternoon.
The bodies We're viewed by hundreds Of
people, many coming in from the sur
rounding country.
1t is generally believed that the negroes
were guilty and met their just fate. 1t is
also believed that there was another i'm
| pllcated In the murder.
This Is the first execution, legal or other
wise, that ever took place in Twiggs
| county.
The crime for which the negroes were
| lynched was committed two weeks ago.
Late one night Mr.. Rowland, who Is a
well-known and prosperous merchant at
Jeffersonville. was called to his door and
/ held uD Dy unknown men. His money
was demanded, but instead of complying
/ Mr. Rowland picked up a gun and at
| tempted to defend himself. Firing en-
sued, and Mrs. Rowland. who stood inside
| the house, was shot. She died shortly af-
! terward. The entire community was
aroused and many posses went out in
| search of the guilty parties with blood
hounds. The search resulted several days
later in the capture of the negroes.
