Oppose the Negroes.

It is admitted that the criticism Of
the appointment of DR.. Crum has
caused an uncomfortable feeling in ad-
ministration circles. The whole South
has been aroused by the selection of
the colored doctor, when everybody
was hoping that sectional feeling
would be allowed to sleep. Much of
the trouble is laid at the door of
James 8. Clarkson, surveyor Of the
port at New York, who has been taken
into the confidence Of the administra-
ton on the question of patronage in
the South.
Defends the President.
In extenuation of the appointment a
friend Of the President said that the
President had appointed colored men
to Office in the North. When pressed
to specify he said a colored man had
been named as district attorney at
Boston. An investigation shows that
the President did not appoint colored
men district attorneys, but did make
one an assistant district attorney. No
member of the administration has
been able to point out single instance
where a colored man has been collec-
tor of q port or postmaster in a
northern state.
Mrs. Cox Holds Office.
Republican senators and members
of Congress refuse to discuss the
Crum appointment. On the other
hand, Democrats are very outspoken.
1t was decided not to accept the
resignation Of Mrs. Cox as postmis-
tress at Indianola, Miss, on the ground
that such action at this time would es-
tablish a bad precedent

WITHDRAWS OFFER
OF PROFIT SHARING
American Window Glass Company
Finds Plan II Advocated Is Not
Successful.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 12.-official an
nouncement has been made Of the
withdrawal by the American Window
Glass Company Of the 5000 shares OF
common stock given to the Window
Glass Workers association under Ger
tain conditions early in 1900.
This was one of the profit-sharipg
propositions made to workmen by
large corporations. Under 1t the parti
cipants were not asked to invest any
money, the only requirement being
that the workers assist the company
in operating its plants to nearly their
capacity. The workers. organization
was to have representation on the
board and the stock, which was turned
over to the association at $50 share
was to be paid out of the dividends.
The American Window Glass Com
pany owns factories with a capacity o,
100 pots and has been able to oper
ate only about 1000 during the last
three years on account of the inability
of the workers organization to supply
skilled workmen, many of the workers
being employed in independent factor
les.

ANTITRUST BILL.

House Judiciary Committee Favors
the LittIefeId Measure.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE House
judiciary committee agreed to favor
ably report the bill introduced by
Representative Littlefield to expedite
suits pending or hereafter to be
brought under the antitrust law. A
favorable report was authorized on
the Senate bill increasing the sal
aries of justices of the Supreme Court
and other judges of the United States,
with certain amendments which re-
duce the salaries proposed for circuit
Judge to $1,000 and district judges to
$4,000. A favorable report also was
ordered ON the Senate bill adding a
Judge to the eighth circuit.
AS result of extended considera-
ton of the various pending antitrust
bills the subcommittee of the House
judiciary committee, of which Repre-
sentative Littlefield is chairman, has
practically agreed on an antitrust
bill. 1t has not yet been adopted
formally, but it is said to meet the
approval of all members of the SUBJ
committee. 1t will be laid before the
full committee, when it is expected
its features will be made public. 1t
is understood that it provides for
publicity, not through a new commits
sion to be created, but through the
Interstate commerce commission. 1t
is further understood that the bill
covers the administrations sugges-
tons for antitrust legislation.

GENERAL GOBLIN
Tells OF STRIKE
Declares That an Excited
State of LaWIeSsnesS
Prevailed.
SAYS VIOLENCE WAS COMMON
Head OF Pennsylvania National Guard
Informs Attorney barrow That His
"Shoot to Kill" Order Meant just
What IL Said.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 12.-Ths
nonunion miners closed their case be
fore the anthracite strike commits
sion, having presented $50 witnesse,
in the eight days, each of whom tolt
of violence during the strike. This
lawyers for the nonunion men mad,
no reference to their demand for 20
per cent increase in wages.
The principal witness was Lieut..
Gov j. p. G. Goblin, brigadier general
of the National guard of Pennsylvania.
Gen. Goblin was In command of the
Third brigade during the strike. He
was on duty from July 80 until Nov.
He said an excited state of lawless-
ness" existed in the regions, that dis.
turbances were numerous, that the
presence Of the troops was absolutely
necessary to preserve law and order.
and that 1t was difficult to maintain
the law even after all the troops In
the state had been placed in the dis
turbed territory.
Conditions During Strike.
During direct and cross examina.
ton Gen. Goblin had several tits with
Clarence s. Darrow, counsel for the
miners. The witness said when he
first went into the coal region with
his men, as a result Of riot at Shen
andoah, he was unable for a time to
get vehicles to carry his supplies,
transfers refusing to furnish them.
In Shenandoah and in the Panther
Creek valley, he said, there was no
civil authority at times. Committees
of the union called upon him and as
sured him the strikers would give him
all the assistance they could, but as
far as he could remember they never
gave him any help, nor did he ask
them for any.
After his entire brigade had been
called out, Gen. Goblin said, the situa
ton became extremely serious, and he
feared he could not cope with the
situation IL 1t grew worse. He SO in.
formed the governor.
"Shoot to KILL"
The Shoot to kill' order issued by
him, the general said, meant every
word 1t said, and that the issuance OF
the order had a most salutary effect
upon the communities which his sol
diers covered. 1t had such a good
effect that 1t was not necessary to fire
one shot.
The order, he said, did not include
the shooting of women and children
MIR. Darrow called his attention TO the
fact that the order did not except
them, and the witness replied that his
men were not engaged In fighting
women and children.
Right to Fire.
There was considerable cross fire
between Mr.. barrow and the general
over the right Of sentry to fire upor
a man skulking about the camp Of sol
diers after dark. The witness finally
gave 1t as his judgment that a sentry
has a right to shoot in guarding the
men in camp.
Mr.. Darrow wanted to know II Gen.
Goblin ever met certain coal operators
He was asked by Commissioners Wat
ktns the object Of his questions, and
Mr.. Darrow replied: "To show that
his relations with the coal companies
were much more friendly to the oper.
ators than to the workers"
THAT is not true" warmly replied
the general.
