Washington. D. c., Marcn 12.-There
was an echo of the Indianola, Miss
postoffice case in the Senate today, when
Mr. McLaurin rose to a question of per
sonal privilege to explain a newspaper
report to the effect that the authorities
of put that place under arrest peddlers
OF pictures OF President Roosevelt and
Booker Washington, who may chance tC

The Senate considered but did not dis
pose of the Fortltications Appropriation
Bill.

ticn Of the Dissertation of the American
flag by using it for advertising purposes
Mr. McLaurin, of Mississippi took the
floor to make a personal explanation re
ga"ding a newspaper paragraph, saying
that authorities OF IndianOla, Miss, are
engaged in arresting people Tor selling
photographs of President Roosevelt and
Booker Washington. Ordinarily, said MIR
McLaurin story of this character would
not be worth attention but under the
circumstances he felt he should refer
to it for the purpose or refuting it, as il
is entirely without foundation.
MI. McLaurin said that the paragraph
had grown out of a statement made il
a newspaper letter written by A. G
Paxton, an attorney OF Leland, Miss.
who told OF the arrest at that point oil
three men who he said were engaged in
selling pictures Of the President and MI
Washington seated at table together He
adde that the pictures were also Of OBJ
scene character.
These pictures he said appealed strong
~ to race prejudice
Similar arrests also Mr.. McLaurin said
had been made at Indianola and it was
found upon the hearing Of the case that
Ia Cincinnati concern engaged in publish
ing the pictures in question, had many
agents out in the interest of these works
The men were tried and some of then
sent out of the country.
Mr.. McLaurin said the penalty imposed
by sthe law WIS entirely too small an
expressed the opinion that the death pen
atty would not be too severe. He added
that the arrests were not because the
men were selling photographs of the Pres
ident or OF Mr.. Washington, but because
they were selling lewd pictures.
Mr.. Foraker said that he never had
heard OF the Cincinnati firm mentioned
as responsible for the publication of the
pictures. The Senate adjourned until
Monday
