The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-02-28

Under the rules Of both houses Of
congress .ormer member is entitled
to the privileges of the floor Of the
house to which belonged so long as he
lives. Recently former Senator Pugh,
Of Alabama, who makes his permanent
home in Washington, went to the cap
itol, and started on to the floor of the
nouse to see one Of the Alababa mem
bers. He is frequently seen in the SEN
ate chamber, but none Of the habitue5
Of the gallery Of the present day can
recall ever having seen him on the
floor Of the house. Certainly none of
the messengers or doorkeepers re-
membered ever having seen him there.
So it happened as he started to pass
one Of the doorkeepers, he was re-
minded Of the rule that his privilege
as CORNER senator did not give him
the privilege Of former members of the
house.
The veteran old senator made no
protest at what he knew 10 be well
founded rule, and departed in the di-
rection Of the senate. He had proceed
ed, however, but a short distance when
memory got in its work. Mr.. Pugn re-
called that away back during the early
sixties he was elected a member of the
house from his Alabama district; that
he occupied his seat only for few
months and then resigned to become a
Confederate soldier in the civil war
He was soon after reelected MEM
Der of the confederat congress. When
he returned and related the almost for
gotten fact to the 'doorkeeper, he was
admitted without another word.

NEGRO OFFICERS
TO BE CARED EOR
President Tucker Takes a Gulp
and Tells Secretary Bacon to
Let Haitians Conc.

NORFOLK, VA. April 23.-The threat
ened trouble growing out of the Haitian
naval officers to the exposition has been
obviated, much to the relief of the man
agement. The embassy from Haiti to
the exposition consists of three officers,
headed by n rear admiral. The officers
are negroes: the rear admiral is said to
be very dark skinned man. but if, as
the exposition heads have been informed.
he has a rear admirals rank. he will be
entitled to precedence over all other Wis
iting naval officers. The management has
been troubled in trying to determine what
to do with the dusky visitors. 1t would
never do to send them to n hotel for
whites. Southern sentiment In Norfolk
is too strong. 1t was finally decided that
if the worst came to the worst the Hal
tans should be lodged at n cottage on
the grounds or that Rear Admiral Har-
rington should be asked to have them
quartered on the Texas or the Brooklyn.
The admiral, by the by, does not make
great efforts to conceal his dislike of
people Of color. Meanwhile the question
hau been made OF international impor-
lance and the subject of representations
to the State Department by Minister
Leger. who represents Haiti Mt Wash
ington.
Assistant Secretary Bacon took up the
matter, and last night he had long
distance phone conversation with Pres
ldent Tucker. Mr.. Tucker was very
smooth. He did not indicate that the
entertainment Of the ITaitians was a
subject which had even troubled the
minds of the men managing the expos-
ton. The representatives were the guests
of the national government. he said in
uniform; had they been civilians the cane
would have been different. Mr.. Bacon
did not admit everything Mr.. Tucker
desired, but to-day, General Grant, who
Is In command OF the military at the
exposition. took the view entertained by
Mr.. Tucker, and tonight a telegram went
to Minister Leger announcing that the
officials from his country were requested
to report to General Grant at the Cham
berlin Hotel, on the 25th instant. and
that they would be assigned quarters
there as the guests of the nation

Kindergarten Work.

1.-THE School Board recognizing the
highest needs of the schools, urged among
other things an increased appropriation
for kindergarten and manual training.
Through the combined efforts of the
kindergarten and manual training COM
mitter, the Mothers Club and other men,
bers of the association, an Increase OF
$4,000 over last years appropriation was
secured. The association hopes to Sc
cure another kindergarten by fall. The
continuance of the industrial classes In
the colored normal Is also assured. and
tho association feels grateful pride in
not having to seek outside assistance for
these classes in the coming year. The
most notable achievement In the appro-
priatons was tho increase in salary of
the teachers. The combined strength of
the School Board, the teachers them
selves and the association laid the matter
in all it's worthiness before the Council.
and the increase was accomplished to
the credit of the city and the good of a
most faithful and efficient corps.
