THE ALASKA ROTTENNESs.
senator Stewart Opposes Nomination
of Frank III. Richards.

Washington, March 1.-The Senate. in
executive session to-day, reopened the
discussion connected with Judge Noyes
appointment of Alexander Mckenzie to
the position of receiver of certain mines
in Alaska. The question arose over the
nomination of Frank H. Richards as
United States marshal for the Second
District of Alaska, already confirmed
Senator Stewart moved reconsideration
OF the nomination. He read affidavits to
snow that Richards himself had acted in
the capacity of receiver in litlgated min
ing cases under Judge Noyes' appoint
ment He expressed himself as thor
oughly distrustful of Judge Noyes and
pleaded with the Senate to permit the
nomination to fail, saying that the Presi-
dent could appoint him after next Monday
and thus afford time for investigation
into the character of a man who was to
occupy so important a position as mar
shall of Alaska.
Senator Stewards attack evoked replies
from Senators Hansbrough, Spooner Pet
tigrew, Turner and others. The debate
was very tart.
Senator Stewards motion was undispos-
ed of when the executive session was con-
cluded.

END OF CEIEBRATED CASE.
Ownership of $4,000 Acres of Land
Decided by Supreme Court.

Waycross, Ca, March 2.-The decision
handed down yesterday by the Supreme
Court calls to mind one of the most
gigantic law suits that has engaged the
attention of the bar and the bench of
this section in many a long day. Refer
ence is made to the decision rendered in
the case r. j. and b. F. Camp, who
sought to enjoin G. S. Baxter & Co. and
Dixon, Mitchell & Co., as well as Others
from cutting the timber from certain lots
of land in Georgia and Florida
This case has been in progress for some
years, and fully 100000 was involved in
the case.
The timber in question was on 176 lots
of land, containing 400 acres each, located
in what was originally Appling but now
Clinch and Echols county in Georgia and
Columbia county Florida.
This land is known as the Thomas Tay
lor lots. 1t was granted to Thomas Tay-
of Georgia in 1913, and by reason of
change of state line a portion of it is in
Florida.
The firm OF r. J. & B. +. Camp operate
some large saw mills near White
Springs on the Suwannee river
and at other points along the
Suwannee They purchased the timber
on most of these lots, and have he'd it
under the Taylor titles. 1t was bought
by them four or five years ago. The
timber has been claimed by G. S. Baxter
& Co., of Fargo, in Clinch county, and
Dixon, Mitchell & Co, of Alexandervile,
in Echolls county 1t was alleged by the
other side that these firms held forged
titles to the timber. After winding its
way through the lower courts, it finally
found it's way to the Supreme Court
and decision was handed down yester-
day. The decision was in favor of the
Messrs. Camp.
Judge J. l.. Sweat of Waycross, repre-
scented Messrs. r. J. & B. +. Camp,
Toomer & Reynolds, OF Waycross repre-
scented Messrs. G. S. Baxter G. Co, while
Charlton & Charlton of Savannah, and
Kingsberry & Son are attorneys for Dix

WOODEN BLOCKS ON DOGS.
A Popular Irish Method of Hamper
ing Vicious CANNES.


How to protect sheep from stray dogs
is a question that is at all times Of in
terest to the farmer. 1t has repeatedly
been discussed I'm the Georgia Legisla-
ture. and IS at present receiving no small
share OF the attention of the people of
Tennessee. A gentleman in discussing
the matter with a reporter Of the Morn
ing News yesterday said that he thought
a simple solution Of the matter would be
for the Legislature to compel the adop-
ton of a plan that years ago was in
vogue in Ireland and which proved quite
efficacious
II was the hanging to the dogs neck
by means OF collar, wooden block OF
much the same shape as the common
cowbell. and which was Of graduated
weight according 10 the size Of the dog
This block, while II interfered but little
with the ordinary movements OF the dog,
so seriously retarded his speed when he
ran that he was unable to catch tho
sheep.
In fact the value Of the device was 20
we'll recognized that n WIS used also In
stead Of q muzzle on vicious doRs.
That sine plan served as purpose Was
shown by the fact that while there wers

CHANDLER TO NEGRO EDITORS
Presented With a Cane He Then Adj
Vises Them ON Subject of
Lynching.

Washington, March 2.-As a token of APP
probation of his services to the race
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, was
today presented with a handsome cane
by representatives of the leading negro
newspapers of the country.
Senator's McComas and Pritchard also
were present, and spoke.
Mr.. Chandler, in acknowledging the
cane. discussed the lynching problem,
saving he regretted that the lynching of
negroes is extending to the Northern
states, and that it is not confined to
iynchings for offenses against women He
advised the negroes to organize
committee to investigate, and
make public the facts connected with the
lynchings brought TO their attention, be-
lieving that the publication of an anthem
tic record would do much to cause a ces-
sation of the practice. He believed that
in time, increased enlightenment and the
growth of genuine Christianity would re-
Neve the race from this unjust infection.
He also advised the negroes to stand out
IN peaceable manner for their rights,
under the fifteenth amendment and not
TO allow themselves to be disfranchlsed
without continued protest.

driven to desperation.
When the janitor found the dead body

lay by his side. A short distance away
was bullet that had passed through his
head and struck the wall. His feet rest

Some cases take longer than others.
Perhaps the average length of time t
takes to cure genuine case of catarrh is
three months. Some get cured much
sooner than this. Stubborn cases may
require longer treatment. Time or
