ELECTIONS IN THE SOUTH.
Senator Morgan on the Justification
of the Returns by the Whites.

senator Morgan on the FalsihcatiOn
of the Returns by the Whites.
Senator Morgan continued his speech in
the Senate yesterday afternoon after The
Stars report of the proceedings was closed,
speaking on Senator Pritchards resolution
regarding the racial restriction of suffrage
In the south. Mr.. Morgan declared that in
many places in the south thousands of
negro votes, in doubtful counties, with lit
tie concealment, were bought for 81 each.
IF southern white men, said he, "have
falsified election returns, they have the
stronger, If not better, reason that they are
acting upon the same law Of self-defense
that fnsulted and outraged human nature
resorts to for the protection Of homes and
families from race that sets at defiance
all moral restraints upon their brutal de-
sires.'
This evil, he thought, would end only
when the United States had provided a
home for the negro race suited to their
traits. He pointed out why some of the
efforts that had been made to force the
the white man had failed. Mature is
against it, he declared, land the senti-
ments of the white people We're against it"
In conclusion, Mr.. Morgan said: 1.-THE
democratic party has always been a white
mans party, and when the appeal of the
people of Louisiana and North Carolina
supported by the democrats in all the
southern states, is made to them, they
and a vast body of white men all over the
the past, will unite in a demand that these
sovereign states shall not be destroyed for
taking care of the lives and happiness of
their people"

Broke Through the Ice While Skat-
ing at Schenectady. N. Y.
A dispatch from Schenectady, N. Y, last
night. says:
S. Dana Greene. lieutenant commander
Of the naval militia and naval aid-de-camp
on Gov. Roosevelt's staff and Mrs. Greene,
his wife. were drowned while skating to-
gether on the Mohawk river this afternoon.
Their bodies have been recovered
Mr.. Greene, an expert electrician, was
general manager of the General Elec-
trio Company. Mrs. Greene, a charming
and accomplished woman, led in society.
center of social life.
The unfortunate pair were last seen alive
at $50 pm. Good skaters and fond of the
sport. they were skating on the river. The
ice was rather rough, and one Of a party of
boys skating, too, heard Mrs. Greene suggest
to her husband that they go further down
the river to Freemans bridge, where she
said the ice would probably be smooth.
They set off down the river hand in hand.
Proper's ice house stands near Freeman
bridge. and gang of men filling the house
had cut the ice for 800 feet, the cut ex-
tending from shore to shore. The men were
slowing the ice when they were startled by
hearing frightful shrieks. They rushed to
the shore and saw a woman floating in the
cut.
Young Mr.. Proper and a workman
jumped into a boat, pulled with all their
might to the woman lifted her into the
boat and put back with all haste. The wo-
man gave signs of life. Physicians We're
Instantly called, but, despite their siren
uous efforts, the woman soon died.
DR.. Grggs identified her as Mrs. Greene.
No one had seen her fall into the water.
and it was not then known her husband
had been with her. DR.. Griggs went to the
Greene's home to break the sad news to
Mr., Greene. There he learned that Mr..
Greene had accompanied his wife. Then
the boy who saw them together told of
MRS. Greehess proposition that they go to
Freeman's bridge.
Searching parties were formed. Coroner
Planck headed one, ex-Coroner Dettbarn
another. dozens of men with lanterns took
up the search, and at $50 pm. Mr.. Greene
body was found at the edge of the cut.
OF course, it will never be known how
the couple met their death; 1t may be that
in the dusk they did not see the cut; they
may have been skating backward. Gov
Roosevelt was Informed of the accident by
telegraph.

The Senate yesterday afternoon took up
the Samoan treaty in executive session,

tory statement. In doing so he quoted lib
orally from the report upon the Samoan
situation made by Commissioner Bartlett
Trip The senator referred to the HOSTILE
ties of last summer, saying that these were
merely fOrerunner Of what might have
occurred on a far larger scale if the MI
partite agreement between the United
States. Great Britain and Germany had
been permitted to continue in force He
contenied that Germany had simply made
a quit claim deed to the United States
and that in turn the United States had
quit claimed to Germany.
While the statement was In progress Sem
ator Petttgrew asked how many pe3pIs.
the United States had bought with The

IntONicatiOn No Excuse for Crime,
70 the Editar of The Evening Star.

70 the Editor of The Evening Star:
The drunken scoundrel who Sunday night
brutally assaulted one of our most distin-
guished citizens will presently be brought
to trial for his offense. Let us hope that
we shall not see another such miscarriage
of justice as that which recently occurred
In this city, when a man who had taken a
human life and placed others in jeopardy
was allowed to go free on the ground that
drink had rendered him Irresponsible In
other civilized countries intoxication has
long since ceased to be accepted as an eX-
cuse for crime or even to be considered as
an eXtenuating circumstance. 1t should
rather be regarded as an aggravation of the
offense. Certainly in the case of General
Greelys assailant the utmost penalty of the
law would be none too severe. And yet he
has been released on $500 bail. A few years
ago a frolicsome young negro who had
been arrested for being little boisterous
on Emancipation day was solemnly adj
monished from the bench in a certain court
in this city and told, among other things,
that he was not in Montana. If human life
is to be held so cheap we shall begin to think
we are in very much worse place than
Montana. JOHN HYDE.
