OUR NEW PRESIDENT BEGINS
WORK AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Representative Livingstone of Geor-
gia was especially pleased with his
reception The Georgia representative
had congratulated the President. had
expressed the hope that his admins
tration would be II success and had in
formed him that as n southern man
and Georgian he would contribute
everything in his power to that end.
The President replied that 1t would be
his aim to be the President of the
whole people, without regard to geo
graphical lines or class distinctions;
that 1t was the welfare of all which
he would seek to promote.
Tie President was more emphatic in
his declaration to Senator Pritchard
and Representative Klutz of North
Carolina and Representative Gibson
of Tennessee.
1.-THE South will support you most
heartily" Senator Pritchard had said.
speaking for all three of the southern
men. 1.-The Democratic newspapers
are predicting good for you and of you.
and the feeling of all the people for
you, irrespective of party, is most
kindly"
Il am going to be President of the
United States, and not any section,"
replied the President. 81 don't care
for sections or sectional lines. When

l could make four appointments in the
army. When l sent in the names,
three We're from the South and the
other from New York. They were
brave men, who deserved recognition
for services in the Spanish War, and 1t
did not matter what states they were
from"

Cleveland. Ohio, Sept. 22.-Investiga-
tions made by Police Detective
Schmunk reveal the startling pOssibili-
ty that n plot to assassinate President
Mckinley was laid n year or more
ago, before he was elected for his sec
ond term. and that 1t may have been
laid in Oregon township, where the
Czolgosz family lived. \ remittance
made to the assassin by his brother,
Wnldeck CZolgosz, about II month ago,
led to the investigation that may have
an important bearing on the case.
From the first the Buffalo police
have been strong in their belief that
there was plot. One of the strong
elements in their belief has been the
fact that the handkerchief by which
the assassin concealed the hand In
which he held his weapon, was a wom-
ans handkerchief. What Is more I'M
portant is that the handkerchief was
bound about the hand in n way that
he. it is said. would not have been
able to tie 1t himself.
The fact that CZolgosZ had money
impelled the detective to try to learn
whence got 1t. Yesterday his brother
Waldeck confessed to having sent 1t
to Leon under the name of Frank Sny-
der, at West Seneca, New York.
Detective Schmunk yesterday ascer-
tanned from neighboring farmers that
the Czolgosz boys. Leonard and Wal
deck, have been readers of Socialist
papers for several years. John ID.

in the Cabinet room.
The doors of the White House are

course, was accorded to those who
desired to see the President personally,
and within an hour score OF men
prominent in public life had called TO
pay their respects and to extend their
good wishes for n successful admins
tration. Among them We're Senators
Scott and Elkins of West Virginia.
Senators pritchard of North Carolina,
NIillard of Nebraska and Burton of
Kansas. and Representatives Heat
wole. MeClcary and Stephens of Min
nesota, Gibson of Tennessee, Living
stone OF Georgia and Dayton of West
Virginia. All were delighted with the
reception accorded them.
Senators Elkins and Scott cOngratu-
lated the President upon the decision
he had made when he took the oath
of office.
"That simple declaration" said Sen
ntor Scott, Immediately restored con-
fidence to the business world"
To the Minnesota representatives the
President recalled the fact that 1t was
in their state that he had made his
last public utterance as vice president
and that in that confession of faith"
ns he characterized it, he committed
himself to the policy of Mckinley. to
which he pledged his adherence upon
office at Buffalo.

GOVERNOR ORMAN IS LIKELY Z
TO CALL AN EXTRA SESSION

! Denver, Sept. 21.-The Denver News
| this morning says:
| A special session of the Thirteenth
| General Assembly is considered inev-
liable by Governor Orman and Attor-
ney General Post. The former said
yesterday that he did not see how he
could, in the face of the refusal of
the attorneys for the railroads to live
| up to their former agreement to bring
, the revenue test cases to n speedy Is
sue before the Supreme Court, avoid
calling the Legislature to enact n new
revenue measure. The governor re-
fused to say when he would issue the
proclamation.
II am proceeding very slowly in the
matter" he said, ''for there are sew
eral matters which l may find 1t ne
cessary to include In the call"
Any number of matters can be in
cluded in the call for an extra session.
Commissioner-in-C Chief Thatcher of
the ST. Louis Fair Commission, and
Commissioners O'Donnell and w. S.
Ward called upon the governor yester-
day. 1t is thought the governor called
them to advise with him relative to in
cooperating the fair bill in the call.
The attorney general has decided that
tne appropriation lnaue Dy tne lhSt
General Assembly for the fair is II
fourth-class one, while State Auditor
Crouter says it is n fifth-class one,
The prospects of getting any money
from that fund for immediate salary
and absolutely necessary expenses are
not rosy, and the feeling is that the
governor may ask the Legislature to
amend the existing law so funds may
be available.
The employers liability bill may
also be mentioned in the call. The
Senate Journal does not show the roll
call on third reading and final passage
OF the bill The roll call was stolen
after the bill was passed.
The mnin feature of the call will be
the revenue matter. Not only will
the solons be asked to pass a new law,
but to enact n measure extending the
time for the collection of taxes for
1901. That is necessary, owing to the
hands of the authorities being tied
through the injunctions issued by
Judge Dixon of the Pueblo District
Court.
About noon yesterday Attorney Gen
eral Post Informed the governor that
he and the attorneys for the railroads
were unable to come to an agreement

1.-The two men. the one that shot the
President and Waldeck, used to come
to my house and talk to me about their
Socialist papers. They brought their
papers to me and tried to get me to
read them.
"Once when they We're here during
the last presidential campaign, they

out his term and went on: I'd serve

They used to come out to the farm

had they come by the road. The back

brought to an issue before the Su-
preme Court.
The following statement touching
upon the case was issued by the at
torney generals office:
1.-THE earliest day, under the law.
that the corporations could have been
compelled to appear, is October 10Th.
The railroads had determined to ap-
pear long before that until they got
the injunction against the State Board
OF Assessors. Judge Dixon said he
would not issue an injunction against
the assessors but SO soon as a super
edeas was issued in the original case.
then he cnjoined the assessors. The
state J,d not lose n day in getting its
case INTO the Supreme Court and when
it asked The railroads to appear they
st,od upon their technical rights
which, they had said they would not
stand on 1t was said by the railroad
attorneys that there would be no delay
in the case as they were as anxious
for decision rs any one and this was
accepted to mean what 1t was inteni-
ed to mean, that each side would as
sist the other in coming to Il quick de-
cision. Judge Campbell is away and
has been away from duty for months.
He is expected to return October LIST.
AS soon as there Is n full Dencn tae
railroads have signified that they are>
ready to go ahead. As October 18th is
the earliest date on which they could
have been compelled to appear, there
has been no time lost at all.
In the earlier case Judge Dixon
could not push the case fast enough
to suit him. In this later case the de
lay that is imposing is vexing. He
has formulated a rule that he will not
hear motions or demurrers except upon
Saturdays. This makes it necessary
to have the motions come n week
apart.
IF n special session should be call
ed it will make no difference in push
ing the states case. Rights have ac-
orued under the law. thousands of dol
lars have been paid and it is absolute
ly impossible to stop the case"
Auditor Crouter holds about $1,000"
In the shape of fiat taxes paid ny cor
porations under protest. The $21,OOO
which he turned over to Treasurer
Chipley canot be recovered excepting
by Legislative appropriation. The
same holds true as regards the In
crease of fees paid in to the officers
of the secretary of state, boiler in
spector, Court of Appeals and Supreme
Court.

ing gear of his automobile, Arthur
Fasker of Philadelphia met with a pc
culiar accident. He started to take a
spin down to Baltimore recently, but
turned aside from the high road when
n few miles out from the city. He was

cause, the machine spurted and veered
to one side. 1t was going at the rate
of seventy-five miles an hour when 1t
jumped fence and struck tree. For
tunately, instead of being an upright
tree, 1t was leaning, and instead of be-
ing crushed by the impact the ma
chine slid up the tree and lodged in

ground. Mr.. Fasker was unhurt. He
climbed out of the seat and slid down
the tree and walked to a farm house,
where he hired farmer 20 bring him

with him. Frank; I'll see you don't get
hurt" IIinchman says he saw Wo-
mack getting off his horse ana he rode<
away about sixty feet. He did not see
either Womnck or Mahany when the
shots We're fired. WOmack said: "Oh.
oh, Oh!' Hinchman was running
away when he was shot by Mahany in
the leg. After the shooting Mahany
told the balance of the party to go and
look after the dead or he would kill
them all. Hinchman said he had n
gun and Trickle, one of the party, had
Womack's gun.
James II. Lamar. justice of the peace
at Surface Creek. talked with Ma
hany after the shooting and the latter
said he was going to Delta to give
.-.mself up. AIahany related the cir
cumstances to him and said he did not
want to arrest the men and had told
them about the strict orders against
fishing in the lakes. Womack told
Hinchman to throw his line in and
picked up n rock and then Mahany
shot. Mahany told Lamar he was sor-
ry lie had shot Womack.
The first witness for the defense eX-
amined was Mr.. Ball of the United
States hatchery. Leadville. who was
at the lakes at the time of the shoot
ing. but was not an eye witness. He
I mack had fallen. He heard Womnck
say he thought he had right to fish
in the lakes. He related the change
in the new lease requiring permits and
Womack said he did not know about
it. Ball told Womack that Mahany
was an officer and did not need war
rant to arrest him. This because Wo-
mack had told Mahany to get war
rant and arrest him If he was violating
lne law. Mahany asked Womack if
he was hurt and he raised his arm to-
| show the place. Warden Wintersteen(
talked with Womack and said he did
not think ''.Jim," referring to Mahany,
would do this.
Henry ]. Puchert, manager of the
lakes and hotel for Radcliffe, was the
next witness. He did not see the shoot
ing. but did what he could for the
wounded man. He said WOmack had
made threats and had bad reputa-
tion, being quarrelsome.
