The Richmond. Va. Times-Dis
patch has been vehemently defend
ing Senator Tiuman in his right
TO speak in Chicago and elsewhere
This was before the speech was de-
livered. After the publication of
his remarks. it makes the following
observation in it's issue of Nov. 29th
1906:
OF course. Senator Tiuman must
not be suppressed by Negro intol-
erance. but we wish he would sup
press himself lie is getting a good
bit Of free advertising that helps
his lecture business. but ne is max.
ing sorry spectacle OF himself
prancing up and down the country,
abusing the Negroes calling them
natural born liars and thieves. and
declaring that lynch law is all we
have left" In strutting and mouth
ing in this silly and disgusting way,
he certainly does not represent the
decent white men of the South, and
they are growing very tired OF his
antics. No POSSIBLE good 10 either
race can come out OF MS violent and
incendiary speeches, and II he does
not stop advertising himself in this
way, the public will conclude that
ne is doing il for revenue only.
We do not see that there should
be any doubt about his doing it for
revenue only. 'for he himself hath
said IL. One thing we know. the
Republican managers could well af-
ford 10 furnish the revenue. He
has already furnished that party
with enough political ammunition
20 keep its artillery and small arms
in service for a long while. Ben
Tillman may be hitting the Negro
hard, but then he is hitting the
Southern contingent OF the Demo
cratic Party much harder. TIE
members of that party will be try
ing to explain away his utterances
for many months to come.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President Roosevelt's Message TO
Congress is characteristic OF the
distinguished occupant OF the
White House. II is full OF energy,
vim and pugnacity. He has made
I'D his mind upon many subjects and
he has taken tho public via the ma
tional representatives into his con
fidence. His dissertation upon
lynchfng and It's attendant evils is
rather belated, but 1t is nevertheless
well suited to the all important
subject. His views with reference
to speedy trials lead us to believe
that he is disposed to favor legal
iynching as was done IN the case

MOODY IS
UNFAIR TO SOUTH
NOMINATION TO THE SUPREME
BENCH HELD UP
Democratic Senators Say He Wants
to Restrict Representation Of
Southern States in
Congress
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE nomin-
alton of VIM. II. Moody to be associate
justice of the supreme court of the
United States was again taken up in
the senate today. but because of re-
newed inquiries of Democratic senators
in relation to actions by him as a MEM
ber Of the house of representatives it
went over until tomorrow. An under
standing was reached, however, to vote
on the nomination in executive session
tomorrow.
Senators Carmack and Culberson
comment on a story that Mr.. Moody as
member of the house has been active
in trying to have passed a bill that
would reduce the representation Of the
southern states. The latter said that
there were several matters which might
affect the present attorney genears
fitness for a place on the supreme
bench that the Democratic senators de-
sired to inquire about.
No attempt was made today to con-
firm the nomination of Charles j. Bona
parte to be attorney general, as that
nomination depends upon the confirma-
tion of Mr.. Moody in order to provide
the vacant attorney generalship.
Opposition developed today to the
confirmation of Alfred w. Cooley of
New York to be assistant attorney gen.
eral. When this nomination was called
up notice was given informally that
some senator's desired to make inquiry
concerning Mr.. Cooley's qualifications
for the position to which he had been
named.
On account of this objection the nom
ination of j. A. Mc1lhenny of Louisiana
to be civil service commissioner to sue
ceed Mr.. Cooley was not acted upon.
1t was rumored on the floor that there
will be opposition to Mr.. McIlhenny
because his appointment will make the
civil service commission Democratic,
but it was declared that Messrs. Cooley
and McIlhenny will be confirmed to-
morrow.

CALL UP CHINESE
EXCLUSION BILL
Attempt to Be Made to Get Modifying
Act Out of Committee-Cali.
fornians Try to
Block 1t
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press. -.-.
WASHINGTON Dec. 11.-Prepara-
tions are being made in the house for
another attempt to get the Foster BILL
modifying the Chinese exclusion act,
out of the house committee on foreign
affairs. Last year the California dele
cation was successful in preventing a
favorable report on the measure, and
the Californians are again lined up this
year preparatory to renewing their
fight against any changes in the bill
excluding Chinese laborers from this
country. Representatives McKinlay,
Kahn and Hayes, who headed the OPP
position to the Foster bill last year, ex-
pressed their determination to spare no
effort to prevent a favorable consider
alton of the measure at this session.
Some notifications may be made in the
bill before it is again brought to the
attention of the house committee, but
in the main it will stand for the pres
ent. The present Chinese exclusion act
forbids the admission of all Chinese eX-
cept students, merchants and other
privileged classes, and places the bur-
den of proof on the Chinese seeking
admission. The purpose of the revision
lists is to change the act so it will ad-
NIT all Chinese excepting coolies.

along Fourth. Flower is on the same
grade as Hill street, the starting point,
and much cutting will be saved If a
straight, level run could be made from
Fourth and Hill direct to Vermont
avenue.
.Depress at Flower Street
In view of the fact, however, that
use of surface crossings constitutes a
franchise this Flower street idea must
be abandoned and a continuous tunnel
will be necessary.
This will result in the entire subway
plans being depressed enough feet to
bring the cars below the surface of
Flower street or else make an uphill
grade underground to Flower and then
gineers are now working on these re-
vised plans.
While these preliminaries are being
attended to in Los Angeles, elsewhere
the Hartman orders are bing carried
out.
Reports from the east are that bids
have been asked on cement by the
trainloads and structural steel in vast
quantities. Work is also being rushed
in st. Louis on the new modern cars
ordered for the system. Wonderful
executive ability is being displayed in
looking after the details, experts say.
Venice Rumors
The stories that Hartman wants to
get control of Venice and make it a
second Coney Island are received with
conflicting comment. 1t has been
stated that Abbot Kinney of the
Venice company, who now gets a 10
cent rebate on all Venice trolley fares,
proposes to build car line of his
own to Los Angeles. Hartman agents
ask, how can he compete against sub
ways with their extraordinary speed?
Realty men who have watched the
Venice operations say Mr.. Kinney
values his holdings very highly, hav
ing refused many offers to part with
them. 1t Is suggested by them that
if no terms are made the plans will
be to make Playa del Rey the second
Coney Island.
In either event much money will be
spent in making the beaches even
more attractive, the policy being to
induce constant and growing travel
between Los Angeles and the ocean.
Huntington Busy, Too
From New York comes the state
ment, attributed to H. e. Huntington,
| that he and Hartman are friendly and
that his (Huntington's) control of 700
miles of trolley trackage will ever
keep him a leading figure of the sit
uation.
Mr.. Huntington is busy with his big
extension plans, too, which eventually
call for lines as far south as San
Diego and toward Riverside and Red
lands,
