who participated in the conference of last
Tuesday at Oyster Bay. that the Prsst-

relief from the exactions of the trusts
When the President read the draft OF
his speech to the senators at Oyster Bay.
some Of them planned for a diplomatic
modification of language. Mr. Roosevelt
refused point blank. He will commit hfa
party irrevocably. One senator said the
scene reminded him OF the Germain kais-.

courtiers. They were expected to ap-
pIaud. not to meddle.
Governor Cu1nmins. of Iowa. who Isl

Registratio was continued yesterday in
the seven wards of this city, and the
books were opened for the enrolment of
voters in Shoemakers Precinct, Henrico
county, yesterday, located at the corner
Of Cary and Vine streets in West-End.
This is the precinct at which nearly
all the veterans resident at the Lee Camp
Confederate Soldiers Home vote. The
decision of Attorney General Anderson
constituting the Constitution would, If re-
garded by the registrars, have operated
to exclude these eX-Confederates from the
franchise The opinion naturally aroused
a storm of protest from Confederate
soldiers at the home and outside Of it.
Some even reported that they would no
longer vote a Democratic ticket if the
ruling was adhered to.
Yesterday the action Of the Board of
Registrars for the Henrico district. in
which Shoemaker's Precinct is located,
in taking issue with the Attorney-Genera1
and ruling that the inmates of the hons
were entitled to vote, caused a mild sem
.sation in political circles. and called forth
many opinions a s TO the intention of the
trainers of the Constitution. The action
of the Judges, two agreeing and one, Mr..
A. r. Holderby, Jr., dissenting evoked a
variety Of expressions, many commencing
the majority of the board and others sus-
tanning the view taken by the Attorney
General.
The two members Of the board who de-
cided that the veterans at the home were
entitled to register and vote are Mr..
John T. Nuchols, chairman and DR.. L.3P-
Michaes, secretary. Mr.. Holderby, the
other registrar, dissented and entered a
formal protest in each case of such regis
tration by inmates of the home.
The Majority View.
Mr. Nuckos in explaining the action
taken, stated to a reporter for the Dis
patch that their action was taken upon
what they regard as a fair and reason
able construction. not of section "a alone.
but of all the provisions as to registra-
ton Section "a, the one which the
Attorney General construe5 as excluding
the OLD soldiers does not occur in con-
nection with the specific provisions for
the 1903 registra ton, but is a general
provision which, if applicable at ALL is
applica BILE ITO registrations after these
specifically provided for in 1903 and 1904.
MT. NuckOlS cites SeCllOu IL, WHICH uc"
fines the first condition Of registration
this year as evidence that, far from be-
ing the intention of the convention to dis
crimnate against the old soldier, it was
designed to discriminate as far as could
legally be done in his favor. The first
clause Of section 19 provides as to VINO
shall be entitled to register:
First a person who, prior to the adop-
ton of this Constitution. served in time
of war in the army or navy of the United
States of the Confederate States, or OF
any State of the United States, or of the
Confederate States.

suffrage the sons of such veteran SOL

mates in favor of veterans to the extent

BIRMINGHAM. ALA, September 10
In an awful crush of humanity, caused by
stampede in the Shiloh colored Baptist
church avenue and Eighteenth street
tonight, sevcnty-eight persons were
killed and as many more wounded.
The disaster occurred at 3 o'clock just
as Booker T. Washington had concluded
his address to the National Convention of
Negro Baptists, and for three hours the
scenes around the church were indescriba-
bic. Dead bodies were strewn in every
direction. and the ambulance service Of
the city was utterly unable to move them
until after 1 o'clock a. NJ. The injured
We're first attended to. and dozens OF
dead bodies were arranged in rows on
the ground outside the house of worship,
awaiting removal to the various under
taking establishments, while more than a
score were laid out on the benches inside.
The church is the largest house of wor-
ship for negroes in Birmingham. and
the pastor says there We're at least $500
persons in the edifice when the stampede
began. Instructions had been issued to
allow no one else to enter after the
building had been filed, but the negroes
forced their way inside the church. and
were standing in every aisle. The en-
trance was literally packed
