BANKER STRIKES LAND MAN.
Mixup over Appraisement Of Land for
Federal Building.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 2S-Six commits
sioners met here yesterday to deter
mine the value of piece of property
needed by the government for the eu-
largement of the postoffice and the
hearing ended last night with fight
between two of Cedar Rapids best
known citizens with Deputy Marshal
Mike Healey, in the role of the inno-
cent bystander, gel,.ng the worst of
it.
j. P. Messer, a prominent real es-
tate man, gave some testimony which
was fatty contradicted by A. T. Aver
i'll, president of the Cedar Rapids Ma
tional bank.
When the hearing adjourned Messer
approached Averill, and called him a
liar. Averill gave Messer a punch in
the head and then as Messer started
for him, he pucked up a chair and
swung it.
Mike Healey rushed between them
and the chair struck him over the
eye. Several stitches were necessary
to close the wound.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2S.-The
Rico are entitled to American citizen
ship, and will recommend that this be
granted them In a special message to
congress. The President has expressed
the opinion that it is lamentable that
they do not now enjoy this right. In
this connection he noted that although
Porto Rico had sent a delegate to the
Pan-American congress at Rio Janeiro
that the delegate could not even say he
was all American citizen, and this is
also the case IL he visits Europe or any
other foreign country.
The President was very much
pleased with his visit to Porto Rico,
which he says is a fine country, is
prosperous and her government an ex-
cellent one. The people, he says, are
prosperous.

dent expressed complete satisfaction

stances will have been adjusted within

The President expressed himself as
impressed with the magnitude of the
undertaking at Panama, and of the
way in which 1t is being carried out.

task.
Members Of the business mems or
ganizations of the city were smarting

not agree to such action, rejecting as

The Pittsburgers will tell President
Roosevelt they are at least sure OF

will declare was sadly lacking from

TILLMAN MAKES
CHICAGO SPEECH.
SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR NOT
MoLEsTED BY THE coLoRED
POPULATION
Some Were Present to Hear Address
Speaker Declares Black Man Was
Created to serve-Makes Attack on
Mayor Dunno.

Chicago, Nov. 28.-The efforts OF the
colored citizens of Chicago to prevent
Senator Tillman from delivering an
address here last night In Orchestra
hall because of the position he has as
sumed towards the negro race, was un-
successful. When the South Carolina
senator arrived in Chicago early in the
afternoon he was told Of the threats Of
Injunction proceedings to prevent him
appearing on the platform at night and
of a money consideration that had been
offered If he would cancel his engage
ment, but Tillman declared that it did
not make any difference to him what
the colored people of Chicago did, he
was going to fill his engagement and
he kept his word.
In the audience were many colored
people, but they listened to Tillman's
remarks good naturedly and although
he was interrupted many times by
those who wished to ask questions, the
meeting passed off without any trou-
BILE developing.
In leading up to his address, "Shall
the United States Annex Cuba?" Till
man took occasion to criticise Mayor
Dunne's action in refusing to preside
at the meeting
II have been told that have been
snubhed by the mayor of this city,"
said the senator.
II never saw Mayor Dunno in my
life. did not ask him to be here to-
night to introduce me to this audi
ence, nor did ask anyone else to do
SO. If anyone has been snubbed 1T is
these gracious ladies', who planned this
meeting to secure money for the Chi
icago Union hospital, who requested
Mayor Dunno, the creature of poll
tical hour, to come forward and add his
mite"
While discussing the fifteenth
amendment which he declared gave
the negro every right the white man
had" he was interrupted several times
ing, How about Kentucky?".
Finally Tilman seemed to lose his
temper and exclaimed:
ooh, shut your mouth. You don't
know the A. B. G. of this thing I for
got forty years ago more than you ever
knew.
'You make up your minds that equal
ity before the law, which the fifteenth
amendment guarantees, is right and
should be enforced Notwithstanding its
result. II this law was enforced it
would result in two states, at least,
being dominated absolutely by negroes,
while four other states would be so
near being governed by the nogro that
there would practically be an equal di-
vision Of officers"
Oaths Used as Emphlsis.
A voice: How about the law"
Tilman: "The law? To hell with
such a law
After telling in detail how the negro
is prevented from casting his ballot
in the south, Tillman said:
There is a great deal more to this
question than the little racket here in
Chicago"
A voice: "How about the negro
judge?"
Tillman: swell, Ill tell you about
your negro judge, and about your po-
litical machines putting him on your
ticket, and bamboozling those poor
ignorant babboons into electing him,
and when afterwards you fellows who
voted the ticket without knowing what
was on it find way to cheat him out
of it.
