1915 p. N. when the federal court
convened. The call Of the venire

MURkIS AFFAIR DR0PPtD.
senate Overwhelmingly Dcfe ats Till
mans Resolution Calling for
an Investigation.

A Washington dispatch says: There
was an echo of Wednesdays stormy
session in the senate Thursday, when
Mr.. Tillman presented his resolution
directing a senatorial investigation
into the removal Of Mrs. Minor Nor
cis from the white house. The reso.
luton provoked no debate and Mr..
TilIman contentod himself with a
brief statement, in which he said
that he would not have introduced
the resolution but for the tauntS OF
Mr.. Hale. When he concluded Mr..
Daniel moved that the resolution be
laid on the table, and this disposition
was made of it by vote of "a to s.
Mr.. Tillman's resolution was as fol
lows:
Resolved, That the president OF
the senate be authorized to appoint
a committee OF FIVE senators to in
vestigate the recent unfortunate Incl
dent at the white house resulting in
the expulsion from the executive Of
fees OF Mrs. Miner Morris, and re-
port to the senate"
He then said that the question at
issue involves two vital propositions.
The first of these related to the pro-
lection OF the president from danger
Gus characters, and the second the
protection of the rights Of the people.
He declared that to absolutely pro
tect the president would be to make
him prisoner. He proceeded to say
that in case Of the removal of the
president he would be replaced, and
probably with a better man. But
when the liberties of the people are
destroyed, nothing is LEFT but despot-
ism.
THAT is the whole subject" he
added, as he took his seat.

GOV.VARDAMAN
WHIPS CONVICT
Mississippi Chief Executive Once
More in the Limelight.
USED A BROOM AND BOOT
Action Results in GREAT Sensation and
Will Be Investigated BY State
Prison Commission.

A Jackson, Miss, special says Gov
ernor Vardamans self-confessed whip
ping of a negro convict, employed IS
a trusty around the executive man
sion, and which is to be given thor
ough probing by the penitentiary In
vestigating committee, according to
assurances from members of that
body, has aroused the liyeliest sem
sation Of recent years, and is now
the most absorbing topic Of discus
sion among the members Of the legis-
lature.
The governor does not attempt 70
deny any phase OF the story, but very
candidly admits in answer to ques-
tions that he soundly thrashed the
prisoner, and further declares that ne
would do so again under similar cir.
cumstances. The negro was at first
knocked down by the governor,
good kick administered, and then a
broomstick was used in the chastise-
ment, the weapon being broken to
pieces over the prisoners body So
far as known, he sustained no seri-
GUS injuries from the encounter with
the chief executive, although he was
exceedingly sore for several days, and
is now in the negro ward Of the con-
vict hospital at Galley suffering from
rheumatism, having been ordered to
that institution several days ago by.
the board of control
The offeqse that provoked the chas-
tisement OF the convict was his ar
rest by offcer Pridgen of the local
police force, who found him prowling
around in the fourth ward one night,
and carried him to jail The local
authorities are allowed a reward OF
$40 for arrests CT this character The
governor sent his private secretary
to the city Jail on the following morn
ing fer the prisoner, and the whipping
occurred shortly after his return to
the executive mansion.
Surprise over the incident is rem
dered more profound on account Of
the governors employment less than
year ago of a special attorney to
prosecute David Pickett, sergeant OF
the Rankin convict farm, for the al.
legged cruel and inhuman treatment
OF a convict, Pickett being afterwards
indicted by the grand jury. The trial
resulted in a hung jury. In his bien-
NAL message to the legislature the
governor dwelt with especial force on
the humane treatment of the states
conyicts.
The rules of the Mississippi peni-
tontiary prohibit corporal punishment
for convicts. Although it has been an
established precedent, for many years
the governor, in reality. has no legal
authority to use convict labor around
the executive mansion.
The governor has stirred up con-
siderable surprise in the house Of
representatives by sending in a mes
sage recommending that trusty con-
victs instead OF hired laborers he used
as porters around the capital The
recommendation has already aroused
violent opposition. The governor
wants the convict porters uniform
ed in gray, or some other agreeable
color"

TILLMAN JABS
AT PRESIDENT
Uses Pitchfork in Denouncing the
Treatment Of Mrs. Minor Morris.
WEPT WHILE SPEAKING
Bitter Language Of South Carolinian
Hurled al Roosevelt Called Forth
Protest from Hale and Daniel.

A Washington special says: Seath-
ing in it's bitterness OF invective to
degree that called forth the open
charge that he was airing personal
grievance against and venting his
personal spleen upon the chief execu.
tive of the nation, the speech in the
senate Of Senator Tillman was the
sensation of the day at Washington,
Wednesday.
Beginning with the discussion Of
President Roosevelt's Santo Domingo
policy, Senator Tillman led up to the
brutal election of Mrs. Minor Morris
from the white house, and SO extreme
were some OF his references to the
president for his inaction with regard
to the Mrs. Morris affair that not only
Senator Hale, but Senator Daniel felt
called upon to interrupt that he might
enter protest against such discus
sion in the senate.
The South Carolina senator welded
his pitchtork with old time vigor. He
was bitter without transcending the
bounds OF legislative propriety, scath-
ing without resorting to unparliamen-
tary language, dramatic in his man
ner OF utter2@ce, logical il his method
OF leading f.am one phase of his sub
ject to another until he reached
climax in the Mrs. Morris case, and
he kept his temper throughout in the
face OF Interruptions, that earlier in
his congressional career would have
provoked angry outbursts Of pas
SIGN.
With the exception of an occasional
outburst Of laughter over some OF the
South Carollnlan's terms, there was no
demonstration Senators followed him
intently The interruption Of Sena-
tors Hale and Daniel did not break the
trend OF mis- argument.
During much of the time republi
can senators sat with smiles on their
faces as if enjoying it all. When he
concluded everybody expected some
republican senator to rise in the pres
ldent's defense, but not a voice was
heard. The tension was relieved by
Senator Hale, who cleared the gal
leries with a motion to go into execu-
tive session.
The speech abCu1ded in Mr.. Till
mans peculiar expressions, and was
characterized by many severe and ex-
ceptjcnally personal thrusts at the
president At times he wept over
what ne regarded as the indignities to
Mrs. Norris, and his eyes were full
OF tears when he declared il the face
Of protests from his fellow senators
that he would demand an invest.ga-
ton OF the white house incident.
He declared that the president had
been dorelict in failing to punish his
suhordinates fer their course, and
quoted statements from persons said
to have been witnesses to show that
the proceeding had been inhuman, He
said that he would formally present
resolution for an Investigation Of the
entire incident
The Introduction Of this resolution
called out a protest from Mr. Daniel,
while Mr. Hale objected to the pre-
sentation OF the matter at all, except
upon proof Mr.. Tillman declared mis-
determination not to be guided by
their advice and closed with the re
iteration Of his determination to bring
in the resolution.

Suitable farming land Is provided by
the Australian government for groups
of men and their families that will ul-
timately form village settlements. but
they are not to be cooperatfve-each
settler will stand or fall on his own
merits. Government overseers will
guide and instruct the settlers for two
years, and the house erected for his
use can be used as public. hall or
school. Plain rations. implements, a
small stock of cows, poultry. etc;
roofing material. water tanks, etc, will
be supplied for the first year. This will
be charged as loan and must be
eventually refunded to the state.
