JOHN I. MORGAN RIDICULES
 ACTION OF BLACKS AND FANS

tendance is no index to the strength of President Roosevelt His name was used 10 boost an unpopular leadership, and nearly all his friends in this State knew the fact and their absence from the meeting does not in the slightest signify that they are unfriendly to the adminis- tration or to the President for the Repub- lican nomination in 1904"
 J. H. Bingham, member of the State Republican Executive Committee had the following to say on the subject:
 The referees succeeded admirably in blending the whites and blacks in one old time meeting, but failed in recognizing the committee and reading out of the party Chairman Welman and Captain Dimmick. At the eleventh hour Mir We'll man was teelgraphed to be present and Committeeman Dimmick was shown the consideration of being escorted to the con ference by special committee. The State Committee is composed of thirty four voting members, necessitating eigh- teen to do business. At no time did the referees have more than seventeen mem- bers present in person, threfore, such im- material resolutions as they passed can have no binding force although l doubt if any of the thirty-four members would seriously object to any part except where in it was provided that MT. Curtis. or MT. Steele. were authorized to call the committee in the absence of MT. We'll man. AS to the resolutions adopted by the conference, I can readily see how they would meet the approval of the ne- groes, but am astonished that white men, a majority of whom were delegates to the State Convention, and such mem bers of the State organization as were present. could sit In their seats and allow resolution adopted condemning them selves. their own work and a chairman who was the unanimous choice of the Republican Party of he State
 "The referees seemed delighted that Committeeman Dimlnick should conde- scend to accept their invitation. but 1t should be remembered that Captain Dlm- mick was very guard sd in his remarks. and while he did not Kn)w for what pur- pose they assembled, Lut if 1t was for good he should hold mp their hands.
 Now at the close of an energetic cam paign of six months, continuous as- sault on the late convention and it's or ganization, the fight closes with the Com mittee in absolute control of all Republi- can affairs. The Committee has been de- nounced as irregular and unrepublican, and that it would not be recognized by the national party authorities and it now emerges from the ordeal stronger than ever and recognized fully and completely by the men who seemed determined to ef- feet its destruction"

MORGAN ON THE WARRIOR.
Senator Views Work Being Done or
 the Stream.

Tuscaloosa. May 7.-(Special.) )-Senator Morgan with a distinguished party of gen tlemen took a trip up the Warrior River yesterday afternoon on the steamer Ottowa. The Senator has done much to secure the many appropriations for the Warrior and he necessarily felt much in- terest in the work that Is progressing there SO rapidly. The party passed through the first three locks, to the coal mines at Tldewater then to Holton where the furnace is just nearing completion He expressed himself as being greatly impressed with the trip. He said that he had no idea that 1t was such large stream. He said that the stone used on the locks. which Is quarried here, would be the very best for the work on the Panama canal.
 The Senator talked of the great ad- vantage the canal would be to Alabama in furnishing the coal. iron, stone. cement and other necessary products for the en- terprise. He stated further that for these products to be accessible an open river was necessary and that he would do all in his power to carry on the work. The trip lasted about three hours and when 1t was at an end every one present felt themselves fortunate in having been in the company of so distinguished a gentleman. c

Smith and Bingham Talk.

The so-called lily white Republicans in Birmingham are discussing the con ference held yesterday at Montgomery and there are none who believe that their cause lost in favor by reason of the con ference. The action taken yesterday in Montgomery does not in the last dis turb them and the indications are that the regular committee meeting in Blrming- ham on May F will be well attended and that the business transacted will be regular and in good form.
 Prominent Republicans seen this morn ing said that the conference yesterday did not show up so well after so much boosting and hard work on the part of the promoters.
 J. A. w. Smith, who was the Republi- can candidate for Governor in the last campaign made the following statement:
 ''The Republican Party in the State was injured very little. If any, by the Mont gomery conference. A months notice was published in yitiug friends of the ad- mlnistration Co meet in conference on the 9th, and the vote on the resolution to reorganze the Republican Party in the State, showed one hundred and sixty two conferees present, e!ghty-eight whites and seVenty-four colored men. We must accept this vote as showing the number of persons present. The co men who com posed our last State Convention will doubtless survive the shock of the denun- citation pronounced by eighty-eight white men and seventy-four negroes, and the party those OOU men ItpIeSGuleu dS ucle- gates will still live. That such small number could be cora led by the three pie dispensers to denoInce two of their own number and the 9 eco other Repub- licans in the State may be satisfactory to MT. Clarkson, who presses the button from distant State. Something, at least, has been done under his command. The conference would have been consist ent if 1t had adopted the resolution to re- organize. When the minority of a po- liticai party disagree with the policy of the majority mere denunciatory resolu- tions can do no good; nor can their prom ises as to what the majority will do in the future.

Suspects Will Be Held.

Two negroes were brought from Hale county to Bessemer, today for investi- gatton, there being some suspicion that they knew something of the murder of Policeman Flowers in Bessemer some months since. Officer Flowers was shot to death by an unknown tramp while making an inspection of the railroad yard the assassin firing from a car. The negroes brought here today give their names as George Smith and Tom Wash ington and it is stated they were overheard telling other negroes that they saw another man kill an officer in Besse- mer. The negroes now deny the allegat- ion. They will be held until the officers are throughly convinced that they know nothing of the crime.

J. A. W. Smith and J. H. Bingham are of the Opinion That the Party will Survive the Shock
 Given It by the Referees.

Birmingham, May 7.-(special. )-Senator J. T. Morgan of Alabama, this morning when questioned regarding the national political outlook and the Democratic pros pect, said: T am not thinking so much about the man who will be nominated as I am about the platform. If the Demo- crats will adopt a sound platform and nominate a good man we will carry the country next year. 1 do not care to call names or discuss individuals. but l will say that the Democratic party Is well supplied with material. The first thing to do however, is to frame a sound, con servative platform, then the man will come to the front. When we get the platform containing the right stuff the man will appear. Personally I am not concerning myself as to what part of the country the nominee comes from. We have the timber
 Senator Morgan arrived in the city last night and will remain until Monday. He goes from here to Anniston where he will remain a few days and then goes on to Washington. When asked for his opinion regarding the conference of the administration Republicans held in Mont gomery this week, he said:
 "I notice that the conference was called by the 'referees-a new political organiza- ton appointed by the President. The

This was done simply because we have changed our constitution In order to rid the State of ballot-box stuffing and ele- vate the standard of suffrage. These in- spired Republicans propose to punish Ala bama for having done this thing l do not believe that anyone will fail to under stand that this was all inspired and pre- arranged"
 Speaking further on national affairs, Senator Morgan said:
 Roosevelt will be nominated by the Republicans, but the Democrats can de- feat him if they will only put forth the right kind of platform. There will be no trouble about finding our nominee if we have the platform for him"
 He paid compliment to the growth of Birmingham and said that Alabama was naturally the richest spot on earth.
