The Fight on Rooster.

An ugly fight against one OF Presi'
dent Roosevelt's recent southern ap-
pointments is going on in the senate
The contest is over the confirmation OF
George Koester, young gold demo-
crat, and personal friend Oh Senator
McLaurin, as collector of internal reve-
nue. for the district of South Carolina.
At the time Of Collector Koester's ap.
pointment it was charged that he was
an active participant in a "lynchlng
bee" in South Carolina, and Collector
Koester not only admitted taking part
in the affair, but acknowledged writing
a long account Of the occurrence Tor
the newspaper he then represented.
All the circumstances were Iully ex'
plained to President Roosevelt and the
latter, after hearing both sides OF the
story, selected Mr.. Rooster for the Of
fee, which he is now filling.
The republican organization in South
Carolina, under the leadership OF for
mer Deputy Collector Deas, the negro
chairman of the republican state com
mittee, has arrived in Washington,
armed with formal charges against
Collector Koester, and also numerous
COPIES of the newspaper containing
Koester's account of the affair. These
papers have been freely distributed
among the members Of the senate
finance committee, who will pass upon
the nomination OF Collector Rooster.
The opponents of the new collector
are counting upon Senator Tillman to
lend hand in the fight. because koes-
ter is a personal appointment OF Sena'
tor McLaurin in addition to having on
various occasions attacked the polltl-
cal policies advanced by Senator Till
man in his newspaper. There are nu'
merous precedents in the senate show
ing that editors have been defeated for
confirmation by reason OF severe dl-
torial criticism passed upon senator's
Collector Koester's appointment,
when made, was the political sensation
of the hour, and all of the narrowing
details Of his connection with the
lynching and his personal explanations
to President Roosevelt were published
throughout the land. The republican
organization in South Carolina having
been practically ignored by President
Roosevelt, the whole Koester matter
is to be revived and thrashed over In
the senate if State Chairman Deas and
his followeres realize their expecta'
tions.

tDIiORS aIYEN THEIR LIBERTY.
Employees of Hearst's Chicago Ameri
can Given Their Liberty Under
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.

At Chicago Saturday Andrew NJ.
lawrence, managing editor Of Hearst's
Chicago American. and H. s. Garfield,
a reporter, who were sentenced recent
ly by Judge Henecy to forty and thirty
days respectively in the county jail
for contempt Of court, were discharged
from custody by Judge Dunno.
Judge Dunno admitted that the arti-
cles and cartoon which Judge Hanecy
objected to were clearly calculated to
i1timidate and coercs the court, had
the court not already rendered it's de-
cision. Judge Dunno admitted that
the cartoon in evidence was probably
iibelous and the articles probably so.
Harsh criticism, Judge Dunno re-
marked, is one of the incidents and
burdens of public life.
II see no reason" he said, "why a
Judge should be offered a different
remedy for attacks in the public print
than a president Or a governor or a
congressman. Criticism Of a public
official, if just, will do no good; If un-
just, will do no harm"
Following is Judge Hanecy's COM
ment on Judge Dunne's decision:
Judge Dunno had the power SO to
decide, but he did not have the right.
Any judge has the power to let every
prisoner out Of the penitentiary, but
they have not the right, nor does any
body expect that they will"
The contempt case and the habeas
corpus hearing which followed grew
out CT an effort made by The Chicago
American to secure an order for the
quo warranto proceedings to compel
the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Com
pany to show by what right they oper-
ated in Chicago. Judge Hanecy refus-
ed to allow the quo warranto proceed
ings, and following this refusal The
American printed articles and a cor
toon strongly intimating that the judge
had been unduly Influenced and that
when he again came up for election be
would discover that the people had no
confidence in him. Judge Hanecy
cited Lawrence and Garfield, with
others Of the paper, for contempt and
found Lawrence and Garfield guilty.
w. R. Hearst, owner of the paper,
Clare Briggs and Homer Davenport,
cartoonists, have not been within the
Jurisdiction Of the court, and the con-
tempt charge still pends against
them.

PECULIAR WRECK ON CENTRAL.

Cars Fall Through culvert, killing
Two and Injuring Forty-Eishr.
Two dead, one fatally injured, seven
seriously injured, and about forty
painfully so, is the sum total OF a
wreck on the Central Of Georgia rail-
way at the Southern railway culvert
near Ocmulgee river bridge, in the
city limits of Macon at $3.50 Sunday
morning. The wreck was caused by
defective switch, portion OF the train
going on one track and another part
on a different track.
Two negro women whose names can
not be learned are the dead. One was
killed instantly, the other died short
ly afterward. Another negro woman
was fatally injured.
About twenty-five members Of the
Walter Main circus were badly bruis-
ed and cut, but they were taken
through on a special train sent out NY
the Central railroad to make their con-
nections for the north. The members
of the Berger Carnival Company were
also slightly injured, but none Of them
so seriously as to cause them to stop
here.
The place where the wreck occurred
is Just on the Macon side OF the Oc-
mulgee river, where there is an en-
bankment fully Is feet high. Under
this run the tracks Of the Southern
railway. The second-class coach, in
which were the negro women, fell
through this culvert and onto the
Southern tracks below. The front
trucks of the other coach remained on
the bank, but the other portion OF the
car was crushed into kindling wood.
So small were the parts that the South
ern track was cleared by men carrying
away portions of the wreck in their
arms. No engine was necessary to
pull the wreck out Of the way.
The train was the regular passenger
from Savannah and was due to arrive
in Macon at 3:4S o'clock.

Bradford, pastor Of the Methodist
church at that point Sunday afternoon.
Tie shooting took place in the par
sonage after Rev. Bradford had Or

the Methodist Episcopal church, south,
met at Admission last week and the
Rev. Mr.. Bradford was sent back to
Brookwood. At Sunday school Pas
tor Bradford addressed his con-
gregation, saying he was pleased to be
back. He said it was not his custom
to preach the first Sunday on his re-
turn from conference, but he desired
to take this opportunity of expressing
the hope that the coming year would
be prosperous one.
He said it would be if such men as
Coffman were kept out and so prevent
ed from lying on the church and the
pastor" it being told that Coffman had
been indulging in much talk about the
church and the Rev. Mr.. Bradford.
This address was communicated to
Coffman and late Sunday afternoon the
latter called at the parsonage to see
the minister.
The minister ordered Coffman to
leave the place, when Coffman fired
three times, as stated.
Coffman surrendered to Marshal Sor.
rel, claiming the minister attempted to
shoot him. Warrants had been
sworn out before Justice ]. T. Sellers
charging Coffman with murder.
The Rev. Mr.. Bradford died two
hours after the shooting. His family
is visiting in Louisiana at present.

Over Party Affairs to w. A. PIedger.

Walter H. Johnson. United States
marshal for Georgia, has resigned his
position as chairman Of the republican

Capturinc Crooked Tickets.

The railroad officials and the joint
validating agency, under the manage
ment of w. M. Bennett, Of Atlanta,
have started in to make a vigorous
warfare on the ticket scalpers who
have opened in Charleston, and num-
ber OF crooked tickets have already
been captured.
On the train to Baltimore a few days
lgo a passenger who was riding on q
scalper's ticket was put off the train
above Charleston, and later on he was
seeking redress. Other tickets have
been held up, and the work OF the pas
senger officials has somewhat stag
gered the fly-by-night brokers who
have entered the field for the exposi-
tion period.
At the meeting of the general pas
senger agents of the terminal lines in
Charleston the past week the scalpins
evil was given full consideration, and
extra precautions have been taken to
protect the public. Under the new or
dinance dealers are required to issue
receipts with all tickets sold, but in
many instances it appears that this
law has not been obeyed. AS soon as
proof can be secured, cases will be
made out against the offending scalp
ers. and their licenses will be revoked.
