THE TENNESSEE TRAGEDY.
carmaek's Friends Characterize His KILL
Ing as Plain Murder.

The remains of former Senator
Edward W. Carmack, who was
killed here yesterday in a street
duel with Robin J. Cooper, were
sent to Columbia this afternoon.
Impressive scenes at the union
station marked their departure.
Members of the W. G.. 7. U.
whose cause Mr.. Carmack had
ably championed, gathered at the
station in numbers and as the
casket was borne in joined in sing
ing ''Lead Kindly Light" and
"Stand Up For Jesuss." A brief
address was delivered by Rev, Ira
Landrith. Mrs. Carmack and a
few of her closest friends were
taken on a special car with the
body. The profusion of flowers
was but another Of the many tes-
timonials of grief from hosts of
friends and sympathizers. All
during the morning hours a
stream of callers viewed the body
at the home of Frank Lander.
The train bearing Mr.. Car
mack's body, reached Columbia
abant 4 o'clock this afternoon and
was met by a large concourse of
frienes. The body was at once
taken to the Carmack home, from
where the funeral occurs tomor-
row morning at II o'clock.
The tragedy was the absorbing
topic in Nashville to-day and
many sensational rumors have
been in circulation.
Robin Cooper, who fired the
fatal shot and who hismself is
wounded. is under arrest at a
local hospital. He is doing we'll,
but his physician stated today
that the wound, which is near the
collar bone, is in a dangerous
place and complications are not
unlikely. Col. D. B. Cooper,
| who was with his son when the
shooting occurred, was trans
ferred from police headquarter-
ters to the Jail to-day. He has
had nothing to say.
COOPER LOUDLY CONDEMNED.
Friends of Carmack are loud in
their condemnation of the Coopers
and The Teunessean, of which
Mr., Carmack was editor, this
morning, both editorially and il
it's columns. makes the unqualified
charge of murder.
E. B. Craig, of Chattanooga
said to-day that it was true that
he had conferred with both Mr.
Carmack and Colonel Cooper re
gardlng his editorial reference
to the latter in The Tennessea1
but he had not, as reported, sait
to Colonel Cooper that Csrmacl
would not again refer to him edi

members of the editorial staff o
The Tennessean were fully per

HITS THE BULLS EYE.
Some Straight Talk on a Subjsct Of Vital
Importance,

In Iredell Superior Court last
week a small boy was convicted

problem Of what to do with him
faced the court-a problem always
hard to solve. "This shows the
need of reformatory and those
who oppose itshould take notice."
said Solicitor Hammer. 1.-THE
need," said Judge Long from the
bench, sis for Cody fathers and
mothers. If there were more
Cody fathers snd mothers to
properly train children, there
would be no need OF reforma-
toey''
The court put his hand on the
exact spot The old timers were
probably a little too rigid with
children at times. but the modern
parent has gone to the other ex-
treme to such al extent that pa
rental control and training are
unknown among the graf ma.
jority of parents. If children
we're controlled at home and
trained there would be no need for
a reformatory, but under the
present conditions there is not
only great need but actual neces.
sity for it.
It is really an outrage that the
public must be taxed to provide
for and train and control children
who should be controlled and
trained at home, but whose pa.
rents SO utterly fail in their chill.
dren that the State must perform
that duty. But. there is no helr
for it. If the bad children gave
trouble only to their parents
they Ishould be let alone, fol
in the great majority of cases
parents who suffer through
the misconduct of children re.
ceive only just..and merited pun
ishment for their neglect of
the child; and it is by no means
only IN the lower walks Of life who
are thus guilty. In fact a com.
parison shows that those in the
lower walks often perform thei,
duty in this respect mere faith
fully than those whose intelli.

that the public has a right to ex
pect better things Of them.

Rev. J. M. L. Lyerly, of Cres-

From this time on he will preach
at the usual time at Mt. Tabor,
Hedrick's Grove, Beck's and Jeru-
salem. DR.. Lyerly is we'll known
as a strong and eloquent preacher,

to be congratulated on securing
his services.

desires suit of silk. In Syria
both men and women wear silk

very durable. Mr.. Saleeby ex-
plains that the silkworm industry

The silk Of the cocoons is then
reeled on wheel, and sold to the

NEW YORK, March 22.-Prince Helie

tellane and his rival in love, arrived
today and took dinner tonight at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Tyler Morse at
the Wyoming apartment house at Sew
enth avenue and F'ifty-ninth street.
With him was a woman companion,
yelled Her identity could not be
learned. 1t may have been Madame
Anna Gould.
Morse said tonight: IF you are sure
Prince de Sagan dined with us tonight
there seems to be nothing for me to
add
Mrs Morse said: But even if he had
been our guest we would have to
deny it,
IT is learned that the prince entered
the United States surreptitiously by
way of Canada. He came to Halifax
on the Allan liner Virginia. He is
registered at the Prince George hotel
as w. III. Thompson. All efforts to in
terview the prince were futile. He
entered cab and was whisked away
to Morses apartments and went in
without any formality. All of this is
regarded as convincing proof that a
wedding is to occur soon.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The inter
state commerce commission today de-
cided that it has no jurisdiction over
interoceanic traffic unless the line of
ships is owned by railroad engaged
in interstate commerce. The decision
is one of the most important ever pro-
mulgated by the commission. The opin-
ion was written by Commissioner

of the Cosmopolitan importing company.

under the laws of New Jersey. against
the Hamburg American packet CON-
pariy, the North German-Lloyd steam
ship company, the Wilson (HulD lines,

In his opinion Commissioner Lane
says:
law that all water carrier engaged in carry
ing freight originating at New York or New
Orleans may engage in such traffic between such
ports without publishing its rates with this COM
mission, and may the steamships plying be-
tween Seattle and San Francisco but IL such

Five CounciImen Insist Dunn

Go on the Ballot

ALAMEDA, March 22.-The five men,
bersof the city council who want but
one public playground in Alameda and
who have all along stood solid for the
purchase of the Dunn and Taylor
tracts, which adjoin. as a site for the
recreation area, threaten to take steps
TO call another referendum election IL
their request to have the Dunn and
Taylor project put. on the ballot to
be used ct the coming referendum cleo
ton is not granted. The 1900 petit
tfoners who have asked that referen-
DUN election be held for the purpose
of breaking the deadlock in the city
council and settling the playground
question did not include the Dunn and
Taylor single playground project in the
petition.
City Attorney Simpson has advised
the solid five of the city council
that nothing more can be put upon
the ballot than what the signers of the
petition requested. If this is done the
Dunn and Taylor project will not be
voted upon at the coming referendum
election.
President F. s. Loup and Councilmen
Charles T. Magagnos Bert L. Fisher

that another referendum election is a

STANFORD ENJOYS
PEACE OF SUNDAY
Students and Faculty, However,
Regard the Lull as Calm
Before Storm
Crisis in Situation Will Be De-
layed Until Committee PUB
fishes Ruling Tomorrow
SPECIAL pIspArcH TO THE CALL


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March %.
The peacefulness of Sunday prevailed
on the campus today. There was moth
ing to give a hint of the existing ten
sion between student body and faculty
committee and the anxiety with which
the conservative elements on both sides
are awaiting the morrow. No student
meetings were held and the student af-
fairs committee enjoyed it's day of rest
to all outward appearances. The sun
day calm was a welcome relief after
the exciting incidents of the week, but
in the groups of students where the
situation was discussed there was the
feeling that 1T was but the calm that
precedes the storm.
1t is probable that the crisis in the
situation growing out of the suspension
of Il students who participated in the
recent parade will not be reached to-
morrow. The faculty committee still
has many individual cases to pass upon
before announcing its ruling, and the
last of these may not be reached until
Tuesday.
John r. Mott, president of the world S
student federation. addressed a large
audience of undergraduates in the uni
versity chapel this morning on THE
Value of Moral Exercise" Mott stu
diously avoided any reference to the
trouble between the students and the
university authorities.
The neglect of his moral and spir-
itual nature makes man the prey of
temptation and makes the voice of con-
science extremely husky" he said. THE
disuse of our faculties is as disadvan=
tageous a S the misuse of them. The
world is not made better by Thou shalt
not but by self-cultivation of our bet
ter selves, and one cannot afford to
take a vacation or to break training in
character building. The colleges do not
need more Christians, but more Chris
tianity"
