Washington. November 1O.-A motion to advance the case of Robert L. Wine berger vs Edward O. Forney, was made in the United States supreme court to- day. Forney was a land entry man in the Cherokee outlet in 1893 and entered that territory from an adjoining Indian reservation on which account the legality of this entry is questioned The Oklahoma court doclSets are said to contain a mum Der of similar cases; hence the motion to advance.

BOOKER WASHINGTON
 MADE RECOMMENDATION.

A special from Washington last night says that the appointment of Thompson was made by Roosevelt upon the recom- mendation of Booker T. Washington, as was the case in the appointments of Judge Thomas c. Jones as United States judge, and of Thomas Roulhac as Unit ed Sates district attorney for North Ala bama.
 Jo Thompson is republican,, and held 8 number of federal positions during the Harrison and Mckinley administrations. At the recent republican convention in Alabama he made a fight for the seat ing of the Macon county delegation, which contained among it's number two negroes. This delegation was beaten, and the administration believes that in ap- pointing Thompson, who stood up in the convention for the negro, a clear view of the attitude of the administration on the negro question is g.ien.
 It is claimed by the lilly whites" that the administration does not clearly un- derstand the exact conditions prevailing at the convention; they say that the ne- groes who were qualified to vote entered the convention on the same footing as the white delegates, and the negro was not thrown out on account of his color but on account of meritorious contests against him. This explanation does not suit the administration.

MORE HEADS ,OF THE
 LILLY WHITES' ID FALL
Postmaster General Payne, However, Says That No More Removals Will Take Place at Least
 For Some Time.
JULIAN H. BINGHAM. collector

JULIAN H. BINGHAM, collector V district of Alabama, has been removed from the office by President Roosevelt, and Joseph O.. Thompson, a republican of Tuskegee, has been appointed to succeed him.
 The removal of MT Bingham took place yesterday morning, and the first information concerning it was received by his brother, s. R. Bingham, chief deputy in the collectors office, con veyed in telegram from the collector, who is in Washington. The telegram simply stated that he had resigned at the request of the President, and the resignation had been accepted.
 Collector Bingham was asked for his resignation on the third of this mouth. and a few days later received word from Washington to hold it in obeyance. Not hearing further the collector went to Washington last week to investigate the situation. While there he was told that the original intention of the President would be carired out, and he then tender ed his resignation.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-11-11
OTHER HEADS
 WILL FALL.

''who is, next?" is tile question that is being asked.
 It is known that the President has oth- CT republican office-holders in Alabama booked for removal, but when the ax will fall it is impossible to say.
 It can be stated on good authority that the President has in view for similar treatment w. s. Reese of Montgomery district attorney; Frank Simmons of Mo- bile, marshal, and M D. Wickersham. United States distrct attorney of Mo- bile.
 The special received from Washington last night in regard to further removals said that the postmaster general was asked if other removals would follow, and that his reply indicated that no further removals would be likely to occur at least not in the near future
 Several weeks ago Fred Wannamaker a civil service examiner, was in Birming- ham and conducted an investigation be- hind closed doors, acting under orders from Washington. At that time he sum moned before him as witnesses about twenty persons, some of whom were ne- groes. He was here to investigate the pernicious political activity" of certain office holders, and was sent upon the request of number of negroes, who pe- titioned Roosevelt to have an investiga- ton made.
 It has been known in Alabama for some time that the action of the lilly whites would rebound upon some of the office holders numbered among them. But they have not once relinquished their deter imitation to rid themselves of the negro, saving that in doing so they will make the republican party in Alabama more re- spectible and better in every way.

CHIEF TOPIC
 OF CONFIRMATION,

The removal of Collector Bingham was the chief topic of conversation among the politicians of Birmingham last night. The man was in evidence who said, q told you so," and there were others who predcted that other heads must soon faIl at the hands of the chief executive
 In the office of the collector, and in fact in nearly all of the offices in the federal building the clerks and officials gathered in groups and discussed the mat fer. There is little doubt but that sew eraI who have places in the collectors office will resign within the next few days.
 s. R. Bingham, chief deputy. said yes- terday afternoon he would tender his resignation to the President as soon as the new collector qualities. This office is filled by appointment of the President, and the occupant continues at the pleas ure of the chief executive.
 There was considerable talk last night to the effect that the President would appoint several negroes to places in the office, but the report could not be veri- fled.
 The record of Collector Bingham stands well in point of efficiency, and no fault
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-11-11

whatever has been found with the man. ner in which he has discharged his du- ties. In fact, the statement was made yesterday that the officials in Washing ton told Mir. Bingham that they deeply regretted that such action had to be taken, but the President considered it necessary, as he had been politically act i've in regard to eliminating the negro from the republican convention.

NOT OPPOSING
 NEW CONSTITUTION.

The statement which was given out by the postmaster general was first approv- ed by the President. According to the statement the administration is in no manner opposing the new constitution in Alabama, or trying to force the illiterate negro voter into elections. The plea seems to be for the few hundred negroes who are entitled to vote, rather than the thousands of ignorant negroes who will probably rejoice at the removal of MT. Bingham The President asks that the few who are eligible be allowed to par ticipate in political action.
 The salary of the internal revenue col lector for the district of Alabama is S45O0 year, and the position is considered a desirable political plum.
 Webb Succeeds Thompson.
 Washington, November 10.-The Presi- dent has appointed John s. Webb post master at Tuskegee, Ala, vice Joseph O.. Thompson. appointed collector of internal revenue of Alabama.

NO EXCLUSION
 FOR COLOR.

..Neither the administration nor the re- publican party of the north will stand for the exclusion of any section of our people by reason of their race or color, when in other respects such citizens have complied with the laws and are eligible 1nder the law to full and free participa- tion in political action and are of high standard of political character. In other words, there are now hundred colored men in Alabama who come up to the re- qhirements of the recently adopted state constitution and are eligible in political affairs and the action of the republican state organization, referred to in arbi- trarily excluding them is not approved, no more than such action would be approved if it were taken in Ohio or Indiana"
 MT. Thompson, the appointee, is a brother of Representative Thompson or Alabama. He is a republican, although his brother represents a democratic dis trict.

NO REFLECTION
 ON MIR. BINGHAM.

Tn connection with the removal of MT. Bingham, Postmaster General Payne gave out an interview in Washington yes- terday, in which he stated the removal does not reflect upon the integrity or ability of MT. Bingham, but the republi- cans of the north in a measure hold MT. Bingham responsible for the action taken against the negroes in the famous con- yentlon, and that this action was looked upon by the northern republicans as a perversion of the fundamental principles of the party. Postmaster General Payne said:
 '.The change in the office of collector of internal revenue for the district of Alabama in nowise reflects upon the in tegrity or ability of MT. Bingham the in cumbent of the office. It is one of those things which occasionally happens In pol itics The position taken by the republi- cans of Alabama at their recent state convention, as understood by the republi- cans of the north, is looked upon as a perversion of the fundamental principles of the republican party and Mir. Bingham is in a measure held responsible for that action; hence the change.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-11-11
REMOVED FOR
 POLITICAL REASON.

The republicans of Washington do not hesitate to say in unmistakable terms that the removal was made on account of the disapproval by the President of the action of the lilly white" republicans of Alabama in eliminating the negro from the republican convention which was held in Birmingham several months before the recent election, and in which Mir. Bing- ham took prominent part.
 The removal of the collector is evidence number two of the disapproval of the President, William Vaughan having been removed from the office of United States district attorney for North Alabama the latter part of September, and supposedly for the same reason.
 The new appointee to the collectorship is a republican, and holds the position of postmaster at Tuskegee. It is probable he will arrive in the city this week and upon qualifying will take charge of the office of collector of internal revenue. MT. Bingham will return today or tomorrow, and prepare to turn over to the new col lector the books and effects in the office in the federal building.

NO HORSfS IN
 NEXT BULL FIGHT

"Tho audience which attends the bull fight in Naco next Sunday after noon will not see a single drop of blood shed. We are going to take no more horses into the ring said Gus tave Mihle, who has leased the Na"o bullring, yesterday.
 We now have eight bulls ready for the next fight. Four of them will De killed by Senor Corzito the celebrated matador. who will give an exhibition on each of the next three Sundays.
 All of the bulls are fat and very brave. They are fine specimens, and will give fine exhibitions in their ef- fort to reach the fighters with their horns.
 The exhibition Sunday will be one purely of skill and not of brutal kill ing and goring of horses. The mata- dor will remain close to the bull and keep him away by the use of red dag.
 "Senor Corzito will allow the bull to come close to him at any time, and avoid being injured by simply step ping aside. This will continue until the final thrust is made. There wlll be no blood to disgust the spectators as is the case at many fights.
 Next Sunday medal valued at $10 will be tied to the horns of a bull rof very traye and amatuers aI,f,npd to enter the ring. The one who is able to grab the prize from the bulls horns will be declared the victor.
 q intend to give regular exhibitions twice a month in the future, and will have the best bulls that can be ob tained. will aim to make skill more prominent in these exhibitions than mere butchering and bloodshed."

THE NATION THAT READS.

The promptness with which the
American nation has moved for
the relief of the suffers by volcanic
eruption in the Antilles is a new
proof that this nation above all
others is the nation that reads.
Even France, the sovereign of
the island where the worst disaster
has occurred, has been slow to
realize the magnitude of the
calamity and the need of the sur
vivors But the United States
grasped the idea almost in day,
and before the people of Paris had
interrupted their usual course Of
occupations, American relief
steamers were on their way with
relief for the sufferers.
1t was the American newspapers
that brought, with their accustom.
ed enterprise, the news of what
had taken place on the islands,
and spread it before the people of
the United States so thoroughly
that before the smoke of the
eruption had cleared away and
almost before the first visitor
from outside had reached the city
of the dead, every American knew
what had happened and felt the
promptings of charity for the
victims,
The alertness of the American
people, their quickness to realize
what is going on in the world, AZ
home and abroad, and their
promptness of action in times of
emergency are largely the result Of
the habit of newspaper reading -
