Protest Against Publishing Details

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. IL.
Women of this city met yesterday
and protested against the printing
of the details of the ThaW murder
case and similar criminal court pro-
ceedings.
The protest, it was stated, was
made in the interest of the sancti-
ty of our homes and the purity of
our children, and to protest against
the minute and detailed accounts CIV
en- in the daily papers of the sensa-
tional and scandalous proceedings of
the criminal court
Mayor Freirson in an address de-
clared the reports of the Thaw trial
were disgusting and disgraceful in
their detail. He said some of the
newspapers had gone too far in their
accounts.

APPOINTMENT OF NEGRO !.
WILL HURT LONGWORTH
Presidents SOn-in-Law Would Be
Defeated. in Next Election if
Ralph Kyle Gets Office

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's desire to appoint a
negro federal officer in Cincinnati to
pay Senator Foraker for his fight on
the administration course in the
Brownsville affair, threatens to cause
a serious difference in the Roosevelt
family. 1t involves the political for
tunes of Representative LongwOrth,
the presidents son-in-law. 1t is free
ly predicted here that if the appoint
ment is made by the president it will
result in Longworth's certain defeat
two years from now
Ralph lyle, prominent negro Re-
publican of Columbus, Ohio, has been
picked by the president for the col
lectorship at Foraker's home city.
The job pays $1,000 a year and a
great row has been caused since the
news was sent to Cincinnati that a
negro was to be imported from Co
lumbus for the place.
The. resentment against such ac-
ton by the president is confined to
no porty lines, and in Representative
Longworths district is especially bit
ter. The presidents sOn-in-1aw
represents part of the most aristo-
cratic section of Cincinnati. That
element does not want a new collect
or of customs. Longworth has also
the largest negro vote of any district
in Ohio These negro voters are also
up in arms because the president
has not seen fit to take one of their
number instead of importing man
from Columbus

The Critics Defense.

A painter was praising the other
day the artistic taste of John G.
Johnson, the famous Philadelphia
lawyer. Mr.. Johnson has collected
one of the finest private galleries in
the world, and as a connoisseur he
has few living equals.
"A young impressionist," said the
painter, got John G. Johnson to Wis
it his studio last year. He showed
his latest picture, and tried to get
Mr.. Johnson to buy it. But Mr..
Johnson would have none of it. He
said politely that he thought the
picture was not good.
This so annoyed the impress
soonest that he let his temper get
the better of him. He said hOtly:
After all, Mr.. Johnson, what
do you know about pictures? You
never painted any?

torted, smiling and rubbing his
glasses with his handkerchief, i
know a bad egg, but l never laid

Looked His Rank.

An amusing story is being told
among the friends of General Sum
ner, U. S. A, until recently the com
handing officer of the Pacific divi-
sion.
General Sumner, who was in Oak
land for a stay, left the city after
the earthquake and went to San Ra-
fael. There he was informed by one
of the guiding spirits of the village
that he must aid in patrolling and
guarding against fire and unruly ref
ugees. Something in General Sum
ner's bearing evidently impressed the
man, for, after a moments thought
he said:
Il think I'll make you a second
lieutenant
Thank you." answered General
Sumner, q don't think any rank ever
conferred upon me pleased me more
unless it was when l was made a
Major General in the regular army.

PRESIDENT ENDORSES
ARMY CANTEEN CLUB
Favors Furnishing Soldiers With
Mild Drinks Rather Than Have
Them go to Saloons

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today Endorsed the
work of the Woman's Army Canteen
club, an organization formed for the
purpose of bringing about the sale
of beer and light wines in the can
teens at the army posts.
A committee accompanied by Rep
resentative Kahn of California called
on President Roosevelt today. The
delegation consisted of Mrs. Inez
Zeymour, president of the club; AMI
ia MCGEE, an army nurse; Captain
j. Walter Mitchell, a Spanish war
veteran, and Mrs. Henry 3. Shurt-
left, wife of Captain Shurtleff of the
marine corps.
President Roosevelt complimented
the officers OF the organization ON the
work they are doing, and they left
the White House with the impress
sion that the president will place
himself at the head of the organiza-
ton. He said the organization is
doing a good work in the interests
of the army and the enlisted men,
and expressed the wish that the press
of the country would help along the
movement.
After the. conference Representa-
tive Kahn said:
"a grave mistake was made when
the soldiers were deprived of beer
and other light wines under decent
circumstances and forced to go else
where for stronger drinks if they
wished to satisfy their desire for
stimulants. The result has been Z
menace to the army, as shown in
every report of the principal officers
of the war department.
From what | learn, many men,
bers of the w. C. T. IT,, which Sc
cured the abolition of the canteen,
now believe that genuine temperance
would be promoted by giving the SOL
der a mild beverage unde: circum-
stances that will keep him away
from the stronger ones

The Rev. Simon Turpie was an
eloquent speaker, but he seemed to
have a list of sermons which, when
he once began. he went right through
to the end. and then started at the
first sermon again, and SO on.
A young man in the congregation
was about to leave for South Africa,
but the Sunday before he departed
he attended the church service.
In tn course of his lecture the min
lister used an illustration in which
were the words: a man can easily
purchase two sparrows for three
pence"
The young man after being absent
for about three years, returned and
again on the first opportunity attend
divine service. Strange TO say, he
heard the same narrative by the
same minister, the phrase striking
him most being the two sparrows
for three pence.
: At the close of the service the min
lister, in his courtesy, came and shook
hands with the youth, welcoming
him back to his home, asked him if
Ii noted any change about the place.
The young man, evidently quite
unconcernedfi replied in pawky
tone: Aye, man, there's two or three
changes. but there's yin thing can
see, the price O. sparrows is aye at

RATE OF DISCOUNT
BANK. OF ENGLAND INCREASES IT
 ONE PER GENT.
Increase Caused by Dema nds of Amer lea Upon Banks Gold Stock
 and Rise i'm Rates in .f<a Gsermuuy.

London. Oct. 31.-The rate of dis count of the Bank of England was raised today from 1-2 to 61-2 per cent. The increase has been regarded as a foregone conclusion in conse- quence of the demands made upon the Bank of Engiand's stock of gold by the demands from America and the recent rise in the discount rate of the Imperal Bank of Germany.
 Since last Thursday the United States secured about 3,250,000 pounds in gold from the Bank of England and in the open market. and the banks reserve has been reduced to about 2I,500, ,060 pounds, which, however. was 3,500.000 pounds higher than at this time last year when the bank rate was per cent.
 It was supposed early in the month that the Bank of England might finish the year without increasing the rate but the financial furry in America up- set these calculations and caused un- welcome pressure here necessitatfng protective measures. Apart from the America demands for the metal. the Egyptian requirements for the move- ment of the huge cotton crop of that country have yet to be Satisfied and money Is badly wanted in Brazil and Germany. Should London require as- sistance, 1t seems to be agreed that Fdfls VIII nOlu to tue extent, ok So,- 100000 in gold in exchange for sterl- ing bills, this being similar to the transaction of last year when the American demand for gold was so keen.
 This friendly disposition on the part of the Bank of France and the fact that the United States Treasury afforded much help to the American market during the strain, probably kept the Bank of England authorities from rais- ing the discount rate to per cent. The announcement of the higher bank rate put an end to the suspense which has been hanging over the Stock Ex- change for some days and except in the case of consols, was the signal for a general improvement. Consols after being S2 3-S. receded to s2 3-16. Amer jeans at noon stood 2 to points over parity. Union Pacific and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul led the rally. Coppers were in good demand.
