WHO Is TENNESSEE'S
EXECUTIVE HEAD?
THE LEGAL RIGHT TO EXERCISE
THE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNOR
Is CLAIMED BY TOILETTE AND
coz.


Nashville, January 12.-The question as
to who has the legal right to exercise
the functions of governor of Tennessee is
tonight being discussed with deep interest
in legislative circles here. Friends of e.
G. Toilette of Cumberland county, speak
er of the state senate, are strongly of
the opinion that Mr.. Toilette should now
be the occupant of ne executive office,
while supporters Of John I. Cox. incum-
bent, point to az opinion rendered by
Attorney General, Charles T. Gates in
1905 to the effect that upon the resigna-
ton of Gov. James B. Frazier to enter
the United States Senate, Mr.. Cox, then
speaker of the state senate, became not
only acting governor, but executive in
fact, as much so as If elected by vote
of the people. Tollettes adherents in
spite of this insist that Cox only oc-
cupied the governors chair by virtue of
being speaker of the senate. and then
when his term of office expires as speaker
his right to administer the affairs of
state ceased.
Senator Toilette declines to be inter
viewed as to whether he intends taxing
any steps toward assuming the duties of
governor but it is known that he en-
tertains the opinion that as speaker of
the state senate he would have that legal
right

CLARK NOT IN GAME
TO KNIFE WILLIAMS
MIssoURlAN DECLARES HE is NOT
A CANDIDATE FOR MINORITY
LEADERSHIP, AS DIsoRuNTLED
MEMBERS WOULD HAVE IT.

Washington, January 12.-(speciaL)-
Champ Clark of Missouri declines to as
sist the friends of Governor Vardhman
of Mississippi and the half dozen dis
grunted House members by seeking to
wrest the minority House leadership from
Representative Williams of Mississippi.
The Missourian declares that he is not in
any sense a candidate for the leadership.
He issued a statement to this effect to-
day.
1t means that the "revolt" has received
its quietus, and barring the usual peridi-
cal uprisings nothing will be heard of it
before Mr. Williams selection next De-
cember. Developments Of the past twen-
ty-four hours seem to indicate pretty
clearly that over-ealous supporters of
Governor Vardaman of Mississippi in his
race against Representative Williams for
the Mississippi senatorship have played
upon the dislikes of an envious coterie of
minority members in the houe that VIII
liams' senatorial candidacy could be dis
credided through the medium of rebuke
from the democratic members of the
House.
Probably, there is no one who saw
through the game quicker than Champ
Clark of Missouri The "hoss sense" Of
the Missourian evidently leads him to
see that the way to succeed to the House
leadership is through the election OF Mr.
Williams to the Senate.

GERMAN ELECTION PROCEEDS.
Parliamentary Campaign Will Not
Mean Administration Change.

Berlin, January 12.-The parliamentary
campaign is proceeding with the quiet
ness, almost Indifference, characteristic
of German elections
Principally, the result. whatever it may
be. will not mean a change of administra-
ton. Most of the party groups do not re-
gard it as worth while to try to work up
public enthusiasm, except in a moderate
degree. Except among the socialists and
center party, there is no organization.
Party meetings are advertised and cleo
ton programmes are distributed in the
streets. but otherwise the voter makes
his own inquiries to see If his name is
on the list of voters prepared by the po-
lice. In spite of the fact that the police
prepare the voting lists with care and
conscientiousness 800 changes In the lists
were applied for in Berlin this year.

The socialists and cericals each have
their own way of working, the clericals
quietly, through all the agencies of the
church and the socialists noisily, through
great brewery meetings and much factory
and workshop talk.

BAILEY OPPONENTS
CLAIM VICTORY
PROPOSED INVESTIGATION OF
TEXAS SENATOR is IMPORTANT
ISSUE BEFORE LEGISLATURE.
CONTEST CONTINUED MONDAY.

Austin, Tex, January 12.-The suggested
Bailey investigation can at this time well
be considered the one important issue be-
fore the Texas legislature. 1t has con-
sumed the entire session of today, and
bids fair to continue well into Monday,
under the debating rules without any vote
being secured. The anti-Bailey faction
claims a victory up until now, and that
they will make even better gains in the
end.
The basis of this prediction is that their
opponents have ignored their original de-
fense, and are now offering as substl-
tute the proposition Of having special
committee to decide upon the merits as
to whether or not an investigation should
be had.
Todays entire session was given over to
a discussion of the proposed investtiga-
ton, and when adjournment was had late
in the evening, but one side of the contro-
versy had been presented. Representative
Duncan of Smith county. the leader or
the anti-Bailey forces was the only
speaker today The contention of the
friends of Senator Bailey will be pre-
sented Monday.

if we never have any of that type of
back us up. We have got no use for
them"
After the applause in the galleries had
died out and the Vice President had
warned the audience, Mr.. Patterson re-
marked:
II will not reply in any way to the
last utterance of the senator from South
Carolina"
Mr.. Paterson then tok up the subject of
criminal assaults and lychings and read
statistics showing that there had been
seventy three lynchings during the year
1906
At this point Mr.. Money called the
speakers attention to the record of one
case of a criminal assault in Colorado in
the year mentioned for which a negro
was burned at the stake by mob.
Mr.. Patterson did not justify this but
explained that it occurred in a sparsely
settled section of the state. He endorsed
the words of the President in his annual
message condemning mob violence.
In this connection Mr.. Money again in
terrupted to quote from memory a state
ment in one of the Presidents books en-
titled 'Roughing It," in which the Pres
ident justified the lynching of horse
thieves in the early days in Idaho
When Mr.. Patterson read the state
ment of lynching by states, showing that
five lynchings had occurred during the
wear in South Carolina. Senator Tillman
was on his foot and exclaimed:
"And as long as negroes continue to
ravish white women we continue to lynch
them
Mr.. Patterson in conclusion said he
had spoken with little effect If he had
failed to demonstrate that he had not

whole purpose to be set forth that the bet

W. J. Oliver Bids Lowest for
Whole Panama Construction
S9,45O,OOO PROHTfOR WORK
Knoxville Contractor and N. Y. Asso-
ciate Offer In Sealed Proposals to
Complete Undertaking for
6.75 Estimated Cost.

Washington January 12.-Proposals
opened by the canal commission today
for the entire construction of the Panama
canal were as low as had been expected
by experts on construction work. For
some time it has been known that sew
eral members of the commission believed
per cent upon the estimated cost of the
construction would be a fair remunera-
tion for a contractor under the form Of
contract prepared by the commission.
The lowest proposal, that of William ].
Oliver of Knoxville, and Anson NJ. Banks
Of New York City, who offered to do the
work for 6.75 per cent of the estimated
cost, falls even lower than had been
hoped.
Granting that the estimate of s140,000,000
for the construction of the canal, which
has been frequently spoken of in Con-
gress, is accurate, the remuneration of
the oliver Banks combination would be
50, 10000 in case it was to be awarded the
contract. Much discussion has been
caused by the great difference in the only
four bids received as they ranged from
C.75 to % per cent.
William J. Oliver and Anson NJ. Bangs
have both been in the contracting busi-
ness for many years, and statements they
furnished with their proposals show that
they have done much improvement work.
Mr.. Oliver states that he has completed
S1s,OOOO0O worth of work in the past ten
years, and now has $S1,5OO,OOO worth of
work in progress. He gives his assets as
| 49, 10000 Mr.. Bangs gives his assets as
| 80 000,000 and states that he was a con-
! tractor for the Zoo lock at Saulte Ste
Marie, Mich, Delaware breakwaters and
Buffalo breakwater, the contract price for
each of these being $25OO000.
| The contract provides that each bidder
| shall undertake the entire work of con-
| struetion. No bar was offered to corpor-
ations associating in the undertaking, but
| they were required to be legally organized
| irto single body, with which the gov
errment can deal.
The actual work of constructing the
canal is to begin sixty days after sign
| ing the contract. and the contractor will
| take over all employees on the isthmus
which the commission does not wish to re-
tain. It is also provided that no American
| employe is to work more than eight
| hours There is no time limit for the COM
| pletion of the canal in the contract.
The percentage sysetem of payment was
| adopted because this method e 1'-'-n en-
ployed increasingly by the rtto4- s.
