What may prove to be a purpose on
the part of the eastern wing of the de-
mOcracy to obtain control of the dem

Gov. Stone Credits the Report
st. Louis, March 17.-Ex-Gov. Stone,
democratic national committeeman
from Missouri, said he believed there
was some truth in the statement that
there is a movement among eastern
democrats to elect Tom L. Johnson, of
Ohio, chairman of the national commit
tee and eliminate silver from the plat
form. Gov. Stone said:
Some sort of a scheme is on foot, al
though 1 am not able yet to say exactly
what it is. From information that came
to me at Washington, and since, 1
gather that the end which the Palmer
and Buckner democrats are trying to at
tain is the capture of the organization Of
the party. Their scheme seems to be to
get into the convention as delegates, and
with as little noise as possible, but by
means of adroit manipulation control as
many delegates as possible, with the ul-
innate object of controlling the cOnven-
tion and capturing the national commit
tee. They will be for Bryan, but they
want the organization.

but Was Intended for n Diff
ferent Purpose.

An East end car was loaded down with
shoppers, mostly women, for it was in the
middle Of the afternoon. Conversation was
proceeding at a great rate. 1t was like a
pink tea or a session OF the sewing circle.
But all at once hush fell over the fair chat
teTers. n negro lad entered, bearing IN his
arms an immense ca re, three or four decks
high, and frosted over from pit to dome, as
they say OF a theater. There was profuSion
OF flowers by way OF decoration, and delicate
tracerIes of gauzy lace completed the en-
belIshments. The cake was so large that
the negro could scarcely carry II.
The cake told the whole story of the we'd
ding, the bridesmaids, the orange flowers, the
flower girls and the banquet afterward.
Every feminine heart in that street car was
a-hutter as its owner gazed speechlessly
upon the evidence of a wedding to be.
Finally, when the car stopped to let on
another passenger and everything was very
still, one lady took courage to ask the negro
where the wedding was going to be-
"Whut weddln - asked the negro, his eyes
protruding.
The wedding that cake is for"
Dis ain I no weddin' cake"
"No'm. Dis yeres er cake walk cake"
There was a smile that reached from one
end of the car TO the other. and very soon
conversation was resumed as before.-Mem-

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
The Inheritance Tax Constitutional


The supreme court has decided the
inheritance tax constitutional and the
State treasury expects to be enriched
thereby from one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars at an
early date. The question at issue was
whether brothers and sisters were liza
BILE for inheritance tax. Briefly, the
court held that the act of 1895 by inn
plication repealed the act of 1898. NJ
merous authorities were cited to show
that where an act is thoroughly revised
in the passage of a new act on the same
subject the old act was repealed. 1t
was held, however, that the revenue
act of 1898 did not repeal chapter ia of
the acts of 1898. The former decision
was not that this chapter had been re-
pealed by the revenue act, but that
where two acts conhicted the last one
enacted was operative. But this ope-
rated only to the extent of the conflict,
and the rest of the act stood. The
court was of the opinion that the legis-
lative intention was to preserve intact
the inheritance tax system apart from
from the revenue laws.
Warning From Superintendent Fitzpatrick
State Superintendent Fitzpatrick has
issued a circular to superintendent,
teachers and school directors in regard
to their dealings with agents and pub
fishers. He strikes especially at school
charts, for which he says $500, 900 has
been expended, and IS per cent. of the
articles not used. He says he has
given no opinion upon any article and
warns against false representation. He
says agents are now saying to directors
in many counties that the text book
commission has adopted certain charts
and the law requires their use. He ad-
9ises that where such incorrect state
ments have been made the county SUI
Perintendent should at once notify the
trustees not to pay the warrant.

WILL ASK FOR INDEMNITY.
The killing of Pears in Honduras De-
clared to Be Unjustified.

II
clared to Be Unjustifed.
After patient investigation of the facts
connected with the killing Of the young
American, Pears, in Honduras about a year
ago, the State Department has come to
the conclusion that the case is one war
ranting formal request for indemnity
from the Honduran government, and Min
lister Hunter will be instructed accordingly.
Pears was killed by sentinel as an in
cident to the close of revolution in Hon
duras. The government claims that he
disregarded the sentinel's challenge to halt,
but 1t appears that Pears was at considera-
BILE distance from the sentinel; that he
did not understand the challenge, and that
he was killed out of bounds, SO to speak.
and unwarrantably. in the opinion of our
government. 1t is believed that the in
demnity claimed will be about $4,000. This
appears to be rather low estimate of the
value of human life, but it is pointed out
by the State Department officials that our
own government has fixed a rate very
much lower in cases where it has paid an
indemnity for the killing of foreigners.
notably in the cases of Italians and Chi
nese, so that 1t is not easy for our gov
eminent consistently to prefer a much
larger claim.

case they were entitled to be present and
to be represented by counsel.
The chairman called on Gov Steunen-
berg to make his own statement
Representatives Lentz and Hay of the
committee theoretically opposed this pro-
cedure, and the governors statement was
deferred.
Considerable feeling developed among the
members as the inquiry proceeded. Mr..
Lentz sought to introduce an affidavit seek
ing to show that intimidation of miner
had been resorted to by a representative
of the governer of Idaho in order to gain
personal ends. The committee refused to
admit the affiday1t Mr.. Lentz then gave
notice that he would at the proper time
move that The atfiant, A. s. Balch, be called
as a witness.
The chairman stated that 1t would be
necessary hereafter to hold sessions dur
ing the afternoon while the House was in
session. and that he would request per-
mission to do so!" The committee then ad-
journed until tomorrow.
