WOULD PUNISH GEORGIA.
Keller, of Ohio, Wants Number of Con-
uressmen Cut Down.

Keifer, of Ohio, Wants Number of Con-
gressmen Cut Down.
Washington, March 2.-Notwith-
standing the long line of failures
which mark the history Of similar at
tempts, General Warren Keifer, of
Ohio, has introduced his bill in con-
gress to cut down representation of
southern ~Sates because the negro vote
is not counted.
Opponents of the constitutional
amendment plan for disfranchisement
Of the negro can find no comfort in the
action Of this congressional back-num-
ber from Ohio He says himself that
states have the right to regulate the
suffrage within their borders as they
choose, and that his attempt to reduce
representation is not based on the
amendments which have been adopted
by some states. Furthermore, he
makes 1t perfectly plain when he in
cludes in his proposed reduction the
state of Georgia, which has no dis
franchisement amendment to her con
stitution. In short, Keifer would cut
down Georgia's representation because
the negro has been kept from voting
through the white primary plan.
There is absolutely no chance for
the Keifer bill to receive any consid-
Grafton whatever from congress. Rep,
resentative Hardwick, of Georgia, who
is a member of the census committee,
% which all bills of this character are
referred, has made a statement to this
effect.

WILL DISPATCH ARMY
TO CHINESE EMPIRE
10 Protect American Interests
In China.
PRESIDENT RECEIVES REPORTS

Roosevelt Finds that While Chinese
Government Promised To Suppress
the Boycott, 1t Has Taken No Steps
In That Direction,
chicago, March "A dispatch to the
1f1Dune from Washington SAYS:
Ihe United States is making prepa-
ratlons IN the Philippines to dispatch
an army to China to protect American
interests, the secretary of war. in ac-
cordance with instructions of the pres
ldent, having given directions for
troops in the United States to be
ready at a moments notice for service
In the Far East.
Ihe president is hopeful the pre-
cautlonary steps he has taken will
nave the effect of causing the empress
dowager to adopt repressive measures
Immediately and thus avert an out
break.
ouch steps were imposed on him by
reports he has received from all sec.
lions Of the empire sent by consuls
and their agents, and information OBJ
tanned from other sources. These re-
ports prove that a condition of unrest
prevails, and Americans and their
property are in danger in consequence
OF the feeling created by the boycott
instituted last summer, the president
has found that while the Chinese gov
ernment ostensibly promised to sup
press the boycott, it actually has TAX
en- no steps in that direction.
The foreign Office at Pekin insists
1t simply agreed to stop disorders,
which were the results of the boycott,
and it was not possible to order its
subjects to buy goods of one merchant
instead of another In time the boy
colt doubtless will affect American
trade, but it has not done so up to this
time

THE FRILLED LIZARD.
1t Carries an Umbrella and Has
Fighting Tail.

Fighting Tail.
The frilled lizard is found in Austria
liam woods, being tolerably abundant
in north Queensland and the Kimber-
ley district of western Australia. 1t
lives on beetles such as are found on
the tree barks. 1t is about three feet
long, measured from head to tail point.
What makes it remarkable consists of
two things-its hurried walk and its
fighting anger.
1t carries a sort of natural umbrella
top about it's neck, which it elevates
suddenly with an alarming effect even
to ordinary lizard killing dogs, soaring
them as an umbrella opened in the face
of charging bull; hence it is called
the frilled lizard. It's teeth are not of
much use as defense against a vigor-
Gus animal, but when it fights it uses
its long, 1.-THE tail in a way to bring
long bruises on ones hands-in fact,
could it be properly trained, it might
serve as an automatic switch, which,
like the magic rub-a-dub-dub stick,
would at the word administer thrash
ing to the disobedient child
From the scientific point of view the
creatures peculiar method of ambula-
ton is most interesting, because it pre-
sents an absurdly grotesque appear
ance at such times, more especially
from the rear. 1t walks bipedally or on
two feet, like bird, and so much does
it resemble a bird in it's walk that it
seems to be the connecting link be-
tween the ancestors Of birds and the
lizards of today.
