CALLS CHISOLM CASE
THE TRIAL WAS POSTPONED UN-
 TIL TODAY.
Lawyer Defending Birmingham Young Man Accused of EmbezzIement From Bank Pleaded Busi-
 ness in Other Courts.

Birmingham, April 30 o.-(Special. )- The trial of Alexander R. Chisolm, charged with embedding funds of the First National Bank. of this city did not begin today. The case was again postponed when called in the Federal Court
 It is set for s:3o o'clock Wednesday morning and will undoubtedly proceed at that time.
 When court was called to order at 10 o'clock today with Judge O. R. Hundley presiding, the defendant ac- companied by members of his family, was present He was dressed as on yesterday but appeared to be in better spirits His mother and sisters also appeared less depressed than on the calling of the case yesterday morn ing.
 Chfsolm sat alona with the exception that he was accompanied by his father. He was not attended by legal repre- sentaives. It was apparent that Capt. Frank S. White, his counsel had not completed the case he Is at present en- gagged In and speculation was rlte Tn the court room as to what course the proceedings would take
 Judge Hundley asked if the Govern ment was ready to proceed to trial and A they had so announced yesterday. When asked if the defense was ready. John Chisolm. brother of the defendant. arose and announced that on account of the absence of counsel they could not proceed with the case until to- morrow. Captain White, he stated, who had been engaged to conduct the defense was detained in another court
 Judge Hundley, iS reply to the state ment made by the defense, in a short address set up the reasons why he could not postpone the case longer He sald yesterday he had granted a postpone ment of one day in order to give the defense time in which to procure coun- sell and had put them on notlce 10 tn's effect He said that as there were so many courts in Birmingham. for him to establish the precedent of postpon- ing cases because attorneys were en- gagged in other courts would deteat the ends of justice and hamper his efforts to expedite hearings as long as he was on the bench. Captain White, counsel for the defense. he said- had two sons who were his law partners and who could conduct one of the cases now pending in the two courts;
 At this juncture Captain White ent- cred the court room and after asking the indulgence of the cudrt for being tardy, announced that he could not pos sibly proceed to trial today, and asked for a postponement until tomorrow. He said that he would appear in court promptly on time tomorrow, even if he was compelled to neglect the other case.
 District Attorney Roulhac at first fatly refuseffld to agree to the post ponement of the case. but on Captain Whites statement that the trial could be compleed during the present term of court, which only lasts four days bnger, agreed to acquiesce in what ever ruling was made by Judge Hupd- lx.

persuaded that the petition interprets
faithfully the sentiment OF their con

Christian men and women. We are
not forgetful that recognition has been
given by both governments to interna

declared that they found 1t well sup

PATTERSON vs.. TILLMAN.
Sharp Debate On the Negro Question
In the Senate.

Washington.-Th Senate listened
to debate on the race question to-
day in which Senator Tillman was the
principal participant, and Senator
Patterson of Colorado, his opponent.
They brought into striking contrast
the ideas of the South and North.
President Roosevelt's action In the
Brownsville matter was the subject OF
discussion. Mr.. Tillman held that
nothing was involved in it except the
race question, and that the admins
tration was responsible for the grow
ing acute condition Of the race ques-
tion in the South. The President, he
maintained, had encouraged the negro
to assert his equality and then had
wrought vengeance on a whole battal-
ion for following that encouragement
He condemned the Presidents action
in both respects.
Mr.. Patterson defended the Presi-
dents right to dismiss the troops, but
believed there might be more ground
to question its policy. He condemned
in strong terms what he regarded as
the radical position OF Mr.. Illlmah,
and predicted that the extinction OF
the Democratic party in the north
would follow a continuance Of such
tactics.
Mr.. Tillman challenged Senator Pat
terson to debate the race question with
him.
Mr.. Patterson declined the invitation
and said he only wished to point out
that both the people of the South and
the Democrats of the North had
to bear the odium and burden such
utterances entailed. This drew hot
Tetort from Mr.. Tillman.
