PULLMAN SCORES FIRST.
Will Get a Change of Venue for His
 Murder Trial

Columbia, S. O., June 25.-Argument on the motion for a change of venue in the case of James H. Tillman, indicted for murder of Editor Gonzales of the State, was concluded yesterday, and Judge Townsend at once announced his decision that the change should be granted Counsel disagreed concern ing the county where the case should be sent, and this was left undecided for the present.
 The sensation of the day came when ex-Judge Buchanan, the defendants brother -in-law, pronounced before the court bitter arraignment of the press, the commercial interests and the people generally of Columbus. He asserted that commercialism had supSlanted the old southern standards and that the press was now at liberty to abuse and villify any man who spoke his honest convictions. He charged that the State had goa1ed the defendant to despera- ton by it's abuse of him, and said the State had now craked its whip and lashed the citizens of Columbia into signing affidavits for the prosecution unedr fear of the States power.
 He charged that men had been intim- dated into signing these affidavits lest they lose their positions or their busi- ness be injured.

PETITION GOES.
President Roosevelt will Send
 it to Russian Government.
TREATMENT OF THE JEWS.

Is the Subject of the Document Up to
 Now There Was Some Doubt As to
 Whether It Would Be Advisable to
 Send It.
 Washington, June 25.-The president has decided to transmit to the Russian government the petition presented to him by the executive council of the B'Nai B'Rith regarding treatment of Jews in Russia.
 This action has been taken after mas ture consideration. At first it was de cided that the petition should not be presented because it might be resented by the government of Russia and lead to response that would cause break in the relations of the two coun~ tries. However, the first conclusion has been reconsidered and by direc- tion of the president the petition will now go forward What the result will be is problematicaI As indicated in the following note from Secretary Hay to Simon Wolf, the presentation will probably be made to the Russian government through the United States charge at St Petersburg. The note reads:
 Washington. June Department of State, Washington, June 24, 19O3
 Dear Sir:-The president has con. cluded to transmit to the Russian gog- ernment the petition of which you pre- sented him a draft on the fifteenth Of this month The matter which he had to consider most seriously was whether or not such proceeding would be ito the advantage of your persecuted and outraged co-religionists in Russia. On this point he has decided to accept your opinion and that of the numerous and intelligent groups of American citizens of the Jewish faith whom you represent He requests that you will send him the petition in due form at your earliest convenience. Of course you will understand that the president cannot tell you what reception your petition will meet with at the hands of the Russian government.
 II am, sir, faithfully yours,
 Hon Simon w vbgkqj vbgkqx8 k (Signe6 < JOHN HAY, Hon Simon Wolf. Washington, ID. e. "
 The petition which will be transmit- ted to the Russian government is the one which the executive council of the B'Nai B'Rith handed to the president as a tentative document to be signAds by leading citizens of the United States outside of federal office holder Et is expected that it will take about two weeks to secure these signatures.

THE DAILY STATEMENT.
Rumor That Another Movement Is Or
 Foot For a Settlement.

Rumor That Another Movement Is On
 Foot For a Settlement.
 The strikers executive committee is sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 To-day, the 166th day of our strike, finds our men answering roll call with the same earnestness and determina- ton so characteristic of our men since the commencement of the strike. We have again to thank our friends and sympathizers, who have stood by us during the past five months ina our fight for fair play, and that they are deter 2nained to do so is apparent from the nHemrOus e letters of encourage reaching us daily from all parts of the city. While we have heard of nothing definite towards a settlement of our differences with the company, there is reason to believe that movement in that direction Is under way. The break does not look as if 1t was not in surmountable, and to our minds, if taken hold of by the proper officials, an anicab1e settlement could be speedily brought about which would rebound to the mutual advantage of the com pany and men, and relieve the. public from the great inconvenience they have been subjected to.
 ''We are reliably informed that the company is having a hard time keep ing the strike breakers in line; they are gradually packing up and departing for parts unknown, while on the other hand murmurings of discontent are heard. as to the wage scale, some get ting $3, others $2.50, while the local strike-breakers have to work for less We are, however, glad to know that some are being benefited by our action in looking for better pay and shorter hours.
 Prof Chamberlain of Rockefeller college. Chicago, says that civil war will grow out of the labor problem. He said labor had right to work when and where it pleased (scab labor) and that an employer had right to man. age his business in whatever manner he pleases. College professor said this. See what fools they must be to make such a contradictory statement. If men have a right to work when and where they please, and they please to work in a factory where the possessor does not want them, how can they. do 1t and the employer have his desires gratified?
 'sWe know of certain factory which discharged an able and efficient me- chanic during the past week for no otehr reason than that he contributed to our cause"
