and one OF the city's oldest and most
remarkable citizens. was shot and in
staauy killed on the steps OF his home,
on Park avenue. today, by Cornelius NJ
Williams, a negro VINO is believed to be
insane.
The shooting was evidently the out
come OF an insane delusAon on the part
of The negro that Mr. Green had san-
dered him. for, when he was asked why
he had committed the murder, he replied
Il did it to save my character"
There were three witnesses OF the trag-
cdy. Mrs. Anna Bray. a domestic in Mr.
Green's family, Emil Nicholson, an err
land boy, and Patrick Dyer, a cabma n.
According to these witnesses, the negro
must have been waiting for Mir. Green TO

was standing in the vestibule OF the
house. ana as Mr.. Green started to ascend

was a brief interchange of words, and

NOW IS THE TIME.

Take SCOTS Emulsion Of
Cod Liver Oil now. Not
next week or next month, but
now. You need it to put fat
on your bones and strength
in your body to stand the
cold and trying weather of
the next few months.
Nine-tenths of the popula-
ton would be benefited by
taking SCOTS Emulsion regu-
larly three times a day for a
month or more every fall to
for fly and strengthen the
system against the cold and
constant changes that occur
through the winter. The
benefit is particularly marked
with young, delicate children.
No food that they can take
begins to compare with
SCOTS Emulsion.
Pure cod liver OIL is scarce
but if you get SCOTS Emul-
sion you'll be sure to get only
the purest and best oil.
We'll send you a sample free, upon request.

Washington November l3.-(Special y
Because Of his intimacy with Senator
Hanna, who regards him as his right
hand man, Representative Dick, of Ohio
has secured especial significance for the
joint resolution he introduced in the house
today, providing for an inquiry into the
alleged disfrancbsement of voters in the
southern states, with q view to decreasing
the representation in congress OF those
states which may have taken such ac-
ton. Attention is called in the resolution
to the alleged fact that 1t is a matter Of
common information and belief that the
rights OF some male citizens to vote at
elections at which they are given the right
10 vote by the constitution is denied and
abridged III certain states.
Representative CrumpacLers numerous
efforts in this direction have attracted
little attention for the reason that Crum-
packer is not heavyweight. but the
acknowledged prominence of Representa-
tive Dick and MS close relations with the
big men of the republican party in Ohio
and In other states is causing some IN
easiness as TO just who is back OF she
movement

offered by Mr. Williams, the minority
floor leader abolished the differential
duty Of refined sugar.
The report says:
THE enactment Of this bill into law
Is necessary to give effective TO the con
vention providing for reciprocal trade be-
tween this country and Cuba. This re-
suits not merely because the convention
itself provides that 1t shall not take
effect until the same shall have been
approved by the congress, but because
the constitution gives no power to the
president and the senate 10 make a con-
vention or treaty changing the rates OF
revenue. That power is expressly lodged
in the congress.
'"Ths legislation will result in no harm
to any American industry. Articles. the
product of this country. like the articles
embrace in this convention now i'm
ported from Cuba receive the very hlgh-
est protection of any in the same sched-
ule. The duty of sugar was placed above
the protection point for the purpose or
revenue The house tariff bill provided
ex pressly for a reduction in the interests
of reciprocal trade agreement Whlch IL
authorized the president to make. The
duty on tobacco has for many years peen
much higher than necessity required on
account of the competition of Cuban To-
bacco The reduction in this bill leaves

They Are After Reed Smoot.

~ upon assembling today the senate
plunged into n discussion of the question
of the eligibility Of Reed Smoot, Of Utah
to a seat in the senate.
Mr.. Dubois, of Idaho, took issue with
MI. Hoars remarks of Yesterday.
Il contend that these various organi-
cations Of Christian men and women,
he said have right to petition the
senate and that it is their duty to 10 so
OF course, we all appreciate that this is
a judicial question, which must be Getcr-
mined by the facts. but it is not an idle
question, and it is properly before the
senate. II is the same question that was
involved in the case of the polygamous
Roberts. FOR whose unseating by the
house Of representatives many petitions
were filed
If the allegations now on file with the
committee on privileges and elections
can be proven / do not believe there is
a senator here who would vote TO have
Mr. Smoot continue in his seat but if
they are not proven, I think we would
all unite in asking him to remain"

of some of his own constituents to the
fact that they arc pointing out to The

GORMAN is MADE
CHAIRMAN
AGAIN
Garylander Placed at the
Head of the Democratic
Senatorial Caucus and a
Steering Committee Is
Named-Another Meeting
To-day.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March G.
The Democratic senatorial caucus,
which met at II o'clock today, organ
lied by electing Senator German 10
his old position as chairman of the
caucus. The remaining time of the
session was devoted largely to the dis
cussiOn of the present situation in the
senate and the necessity for Demo-
cratic harmony and unity of action.
There was a general feeling that the
vacancies caused by the retirement of
Democratic senators from committees
which have to deal with questions be-
fore the present called session should
be filled, and it was decided that the
designation of the members of these
committees should be made by a steer
ing committee TO be appointed by the
chairman of the caucus, but that their
selection should later be ratified by the
caucus. The steering committee for
the past congress has numbered only
seven members, but Senator German
requested that the number should be
increased to nine and this was decided
upon.
Tomorrow the question of supplying
the vacancies on the regular commit
tees of the senate viii be taken up.
The caucus placed in the hands of the
steering committee authority to de-
eide for the Democrats whether there
should be general reorganization of
the senate committees or the mere fill
ing of the vacancies on those commit
tees which will deal with pressing
questions during the extra session. The
committee is empowered to negotiate
with the Republican steering commit
tee with view to agreeing on a gem
eral reorganization; but so far as there
was expression of opinion on this
point, it was favorable to the view Of
leaving the question of reorganization
on general lines to be determined by
the Republicans, as they are in power.
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-03-07

There is no 9oubt, however, that the
Democratic steering committee will
insist upon having some of the COM
mittees filled for the reason that the
Democratic party has lost quite heav-
lily in some of the committees which
are in control of present business.
The steering committee was named.
1t consists Of Senator German, Mary
land; Cockrell, Missouri; Martin, Vir-
ginia; Bacon, Georgia; Dubois, Idaho;
