A S the time for the assembling of
~ congress approaches we again
N hear of the plan to reduce the
representation of the southern
states In the house of representatives.
This was a favorite measure of Mr.. Hen
ry c. Payne, a member of congress from
Wisconsin. now postmaster general of the
United States. Mr.. Payne introduced a
bill to carry out his design against. the
south and ardently urged it's passage. He
was unsuccessful in his attempt and could
scarcely obtain a hearing for his argu-
ments outside the partisan newspapers.
But as a member of the presidents cabi-
net and enjoying the reputation of being
the political conductor of the administra
ton, he now occupies more potential po-
sition than he did as a member of con-
gress. 1t is reported now that Mr.. Payne
says congress will be expected to enact
his bill, and without any prompting in the
presidents message. If 1t should fail to
do so. then he thinks the Republican ma
tional convention will take action upon
the subject. The bill to deprive the
southern states of a portion of their rep
resentation in congress is based upon the
fourteenth amendment to the federal con-
stitution, which was ratified by force OF
arms in 1856. 1867 and 1868, when the entire
south, except the negro population, was
disfranchised. Section of that amend
ment provides as follows: Representa-
tives shall be apportioned among the sew
eral states according to their respective
numbers, counting the whole number of
persons in each state, excluding Indians
not taxed But when the right to vote at
any election for the choice of the United
States Representatives in congress, the
executive and judicial officers of a state,
or the members of the legislature thereof,
is denied to any of the male inhabitants
of such state, being twenty-One years of
age and citizens of the United States,or in
any way abridged, except for participation
in rebellion or other crime, the basis of
representation therein shall be reduced in
the proportion which the number of such

and his wife. Mearlin G. Boring against
the Chesapeake Beach Railway Company,

the Court Of Appeals, announced by Justice

was in favor of the railway company.
The suit was instituted by Mrs. Boering
to recover damages amounting to SO, coo for
alleged personal injuries received in Sep
TENDER 1900. while riding on a train Of the
defendant. The railway company set up
the defense that Mrs. Boering was riding on
a free pass, the conditions of which alb
solved the company from any liability for
damages This view of the case was taken
by the Court of Appeals. 1t is said the case
will be taken to the United States Supreme
Court.
In the case of the appeal Of the Columbia
Railway Company from the judgment of
the District Supreme Court, in which Mrs.
Martha A. Cruit was awarded damages

for new trial made by the railway COM
pany was denied and the case was appealed

LOWER COURTS AFFIRMED.
Three Cases Passed Upon by Court Of
Appeals.

The Court of Appeals late yesterday aft
ernoon handed down decision in the case
OF Lawrence Norman, colored, who was
convicted last spring of the murder of An
ME Brown, also colored. and sentenced to
the penitentiary for life. Justice Anderson
who presided at the trial, overruled Nor
mans motion for a new trial and the matter
was carried to the Court of Appeals. The
decision of the upper court, which was. an
nounced by Justice Morris, affirms the
action of the court below and new trial
was denied.
The records of the case show that Nor
man and the woman became involved in
quarrel In house near the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal in Georgetown. The testimony
showed that Norman made an assault upon
the woman and in attempting to escape
from him she fell into the canal and was
drowned The jury which found Norman
guilty of murder recommended that the
death penalty should not be imposed.
