Former Senator Chandler Wants to Know Why the Negro
 Is Eliminated
TAFT DELEGATES FROM
 LILY-WHITE FACTIONS
MT. Chandler Declares That Real Re- pubIicans Will Not Recognize the Delegates of the Lily
 White Faction.

Washington, May 4.-(Special)- )-"Is the party of Lincoln and Grant-the party OF freedom-in favor of disfranchising the negro voter?"
 Former Senator William E. Chandler of New Hampshire. threw bombshelI into the Taft camp this morning by put ting such a question to the members Of the republican national committee.
 The senator as.ss the committeeman whether they are in favor of seating del egations to the Chicago convention which
 were selected by state conventions at which the negro was excluded. Practical ly all the degelates which have been instructed for Taft in the southern states
 were named at lilly white" conventions. In other words Mir Chandler makes the
 point that should the committee seat these
 delegates it would place the republican party in an attitude towards the negro of ndorsing the legislation placed on the statute books of the southern states by 1 democratic state administrations. Mr. | Chandler cannot see how the republican l party as represented by its national com
 mittee can take this step but he writes
 the members as follows:
 1 Tn behalf of parties properly interested 1 WISH to dSk you WndJ the fepuDlcdn national committee, when making up the preliminary roll of the convention of June
 16, ought to do in the case of delegates i elected by a convention a condition of whose action was that no colored man
 should be allowed to be a member of ] that convention.
 | Tt seems to me that, considering the l fifteenth amendment of the constitution
 and the history of the republican party, | such a convention upon it's adoption of | the lily white rule as its fundamental ] principle, instantly ceased to be re- 1 publican body; 50 that it's delegates can
 not for a moment be considered as en- l titled to seats in a national republican l convention to nominate a President.
 Tn giving to me and the public your l opinion on the question submitted it is
 not necessary to commit yourself as to
 the seating of any delegates who may ap-
 pear as claimants against the lily white l delegates. But a knowledge on the part
 of such delegates and others of your views on the question now asked at an l early date before June 16 will greatly expedite the worl. of your committee and i of the committee on credentials of the national convention.

After Being Tabled the Meas
 ure May Be Revived
EFFORTS AT COMPROMISE
Members of the House Appear To Be Tired of Attempting Any Financial Legislation, But They May
 Be Held In Line.

Washington, May Notwithstanding the fact that the committee on banking
 and currency today voted to table the
 new Vreeland bill, the impression pre- vals emong many members that the meas- ure will be 5oopted at the conference of the republican members of the House tomorrow risht. The vote in which the Erecland bill was tabled was 13 to 3,
 Messrs. Weeks, Burton and Mckinney
 voting in the negative. The committee adopted resolution offered by MT. Waldo of New York requesting that suitable time be given for the discussion in the House of all pending currency measures. Chairman Fowler was authorized to lay this request before Speaker Cannon. Strong efforts were made to reach a compromise on the financial question and the proposition advocated some time ago by Floor Leader Payne, was taken up as the basis for an agreement. This propo- sition allows any national banking assocl-
 aton which has circulating notes out
 standing secured by deposit of United States bonds to an amount equal to its capital stock actually paid in, to take out additional circulation upon deposltinS United States bonds or certichates ol ln-
 debtedness authorized during the Sapan-
 ish-American war. The proposition was acceptable to some of the public leaders
 and members of the committee on bank mig and currency. It was first thought by offering this proposition as an amend-
 ment to the Fowler currency commission bill the conference which has been called for two nights could be obviated. When the pldr was laid before Speaker Cam non, together with the report of the colu- mittee on the weeks debate, he informed Chairman Fowler that he had no auT thority either 10 call conference or to grant the time for debate asked for. He
 stated that more than a sufficient number of republicans had signed the call for the conference, and that is was for the con ference to determine what measures should be decided upon. He gave it as his
 opinion that the members would not care
 to stay here an additional week listen ing to the financial discussion.
 The members of the banking commit- tee substantially held numerous confer l ences and it was decided that the Payne i proposition as an addenda to the cur rency commission bill should be offered at | the conference.

BULKELY DEFENDS
 CAUSE OF NEGROES
Connecticut Senator Says Sol-
 dierS Are Innocent
RAID MADE ON DARK NIGHT
MT. BuIkeIy Says That Evidence Is Conclusive That the Negro Sol diers Had No Part In the
 Brownsville Riots.

Washington, May 4.-Senator Bulkely of Connecticut, in the Senate today defended the negro soldiers of the Twenty fifth reigment from charges of shooting up" Brownsville Tex, August 13, IA, 1907.
 After hearing all the testimony, MT. Bulkely said he had concluded that none of the negro soldiers was implicated in the raid.
 MT. Bulkely declared that in his judg- ment the shooting up of Brownsville was the work of Mexicans of the lawless class who came into the city from the outside and were joined by the lawless element in town. He insisted that the absence of light iTl the city on the night of the raid was sufficient to impeach the testimony of witnesses who told of seeing negro soldiers.
 Senator aorah interrupted to say that the night in question was bright night and that the question of darkness had never been suggested except by the men who wanted it to be a dark night.
 .'F'or many months, said Br Bulkely, "applications for re-enlistment in the army or for restoration have been in the hands of the President or with the war department with the only proof the soldiers could furnish of their innocence, their own affdavits and certificates of good character and faithful service from their officers, but not one has been acted upon The President has repeatedly called on these soldiers to prove their innocence to his satisfaction-to mind already confirmed in conviction of un- doubted guilt--as a condition of restora- ton and so expressed over and over again. This requirement. imposed the ad ditional burden of removing this almost insurmountable bias"
 MT. Fulton of Oregon stated that while he was convinced the shooting up of Brownsville was done by the negro soldiers, he favored Senator Foraker's bill requiring the enlistment of the men on their statements of innocence.
 MT. Foraker said that his bill had an important feature in its provisions that should at any time evidence of the guilt of the men be discovered they would be tried either by the civil or military au- thorities and by having them back in the army they could be reached at any time.

COMPLAINTS ARE
 GIVEN A HEARING
ALABAMA RAILROAD COMMISSION TAKES UP CASES OF SEVERAL RAILROADS ON DEPOT FACILI- TIES AND OTHER MATTERS.

Montgomery, May (SpeciaL)-The Alabama railroad commission spent most of the day hearing the complaints of cer- tain citizens of Attala on the depot facil- ities furnished there by the Louisville and Nashville and the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railroads, and the application of the Seaboard Air Line to be allowed to close the agency at Hard wick
 It was shown that there was very little business at Hardwick and that it was not m any sense worth while to keep an agency there. On such a show ing argued by John P. Tillman of Bir- mingham the agency was discontinued.
 The adjustment of express rates was also up and much time spent in check ing them over. This Is a slow process which Is being worked out little at the time.
 No acton was taken on the Attalla depot case. Consent was given to close the agehcJ at Gaynor on the Central of Georgia.

and accordingly the campaign book will treat that point extensively. The work inaugurated by Chairman Griggs several campaigns ago of securing the discount sheets of exporters in order that it may be shown in black an1 white how the American consumer is mulcted for the benefit of the foreigner will again be fol- lowed by the committee, which is already in possession of discount sheets.
 Chairman Lloyd said today that after the convention main headquarters of the committee will be opened in Chicago, though branch will be maintained in this city. The chairman thinks the pros poets for a democratic House are more favorable than they have been since 1892.

Contracts Ahead.

MT. Norris declared that in 1907 the International Paper company foreseeing a print paper famine in the United States made contracts with Canadians for 17,O0O tons of paper for export trade, with the purpose of crippling the power of those mills to supply the prospective deficiency in the United States and thereby to main tain the programme of high prices in this country.
 The committee was furnished by MT. Norris with an extended list of the daily capacity of paper manufacturing and pulp making plants in the United States and Canada, his quoted figures being in some instances contradictory of data compiled by the census bureau. He cited statisti- cal, information collected by paper manu- facturers. to show that on the basis of four cords to the acre, 1888 square miles of timbered land are annually stripped in the United States to supply the demand for paper making pulp, equal to 4.3 per cent of the area annually stripped for all purposes. 42.744 square miles.
 MT. Mann remarked that the basis of four cords to the acre was evidently an unfair one for computation and MT. Nor ris said he would not stand sponsor for it's accuracy.
 The committee adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
