SHERIFF SHIP
In ALTERATION
JUMPS ON HIS ACCUSER WHEN
REPORT OF IRREGULARl-
TIES is MADE.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April g.
AS the result of very serious charges
against the official conduct of Sheriff
Ship, presented to the County Court
today by the County Auditing Com
mittee, a violent alteration occurred
between the Sheriff and j. H. Hogan,
Chairman of the Auditing Committee,
the latter suffering some facial dis
figuration from the encounter. The
fight took place in the court room,
and the County Court of sixteen mem
beers was thrown into great confusion
The charges against the Sheriff were
of nature to seriously interfere with
his present campaign for reelection
and the county will now be stirred by
one OF the most sensational investiga-
lions ever undertaken here.
Sheriff Ship has demanded an i'm
mediate investigation into his record.
The Sheriff is now the defendant in a
Federal prosecution for alleged con-
tempt growing out OF the lynching or
the negro, Ed Johnson.

LIABILITY BILL
PASSES HOUSE
MAKES RADICAL CHANGES IN
COMMON LAW RULE RELATING
RECOVERY FOR INJURIES.

WASHINGTON, April twin on
" one vote recorded against II, that
Of Mr.. Liuledeld, of Maine, the House
Of Representatives today under sus-
pension of the rules passed the Ster'
ling employers liability bill after TOT
" minutes debate.
In brief the bill establishes the doc
trine that the railroad companies en-
gagged in interstate commerce are ha-
BILE for personal injuries received Dy
employees in the service Of such car
riers. II abolishes the strict common
law rule OF liability which bars a re-
coyery for the personal injury or
death of an employe occasioned Dy
the negligence of a fellow-servant. 1t
also relaxes the common law rules
which make contributory negligence
defense to claims for such injuries.
A provision, however diminishes the
amount of the recovery in the same
degree that the negligence of the In
1ured one contributed to the injury.
The bill further makes each party
responsible for his own negligence and
requires each to bear the burden
thereof.
The bill as passed by the House was
to the Senate later in the
day and on motion of Senator Dolliver
was laid on the table subject TO being
called up at any time. Mr.. Dolliver
explained that the bill is quite similar
to the measure reported to the Senate
from the Committee on Education and
Labor, and said that at any early date
he will probably move to substitute
the Senate measure for the House
bill.

LONDON, April Great Britain
tonight is in a peculiar position, being
without either Premier or Ministry
The long expected resignation Of Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman. the
Prime Minister, was officially an
nouneed. According to the Court Cir
cular, he resigned on the urgent rec
ommendation OF his medical advisers,
AS the constitution of the country
provides no automatic successor, II
rests with the King to choose a new
head of the government and in accord
ance with custom and precedent the
whole Cabinet resigns with the Pre-
mier, no step to appoint a Ministry
can be taken until Herbert H. As
auth, the Chancellor of the Exchec-
uuer. who has been summoned to BIZ
arritz for the purpose, has seen the
King.
The position of the country is quite
unprecedented, there being no pre-
vious example of a change occurring
in the Premiership while the Sover-
eign was abroad. On this account
the course of procedure to be follow
ed is in some doubt.

OLD FRANKLIN
DENOUNCES PLAN
COMMITTEE BY LARGE MAJORITY
ARRAIGNS PATTERSON MA
CHINE AND RING RULE.

WINCHESTER, Tenn, April g.
The democratic executive committee
met today and passed a resolution by
a vote of IL to 4 condemning and de-
ploring the action of the state commit
tee in it's utter disregard of the wish
es Of the great majority Of democrats
expressed through their newspapers
and county committees by refusing to
call a direct primary and substituting
therefor a county unit plan, thereby
making it possible for the will OF a
large majority Of democrats to be
thwarted. and also in leaving the said
state committee as the final arbiters
of the result of such substitute pri-
mary. Their action does not COM
mend them to our confidence and we
view with apprehension the placing
of this power in their keeping"
The seven members of the commit
tee. and especially the two from this
county. Frank ]. Lynch, who voted In
person. and w. H. Hartford, who
voted by proxy, we're for voting and
working for direct and fair primary
and against the bogus substitute,
which the majority adopted, and they
were thanked and commended.
1--WE believe" the resolutions con-
timed. "the great majority of demo-
Gratis are opposed to ring rule and
tricky machine politics, and we regard
the action of the said committee as
a glazing example Of political CHI
canery, likely to bring the party into
disrepute, and which ought to be re-
buked at the polls by all good demo-
Gratis"
Each side had notice that such a.
resolution would be offered, and had
and after strenuous hight
and argument OF two hours the reso-
luton was passed. The resolution
was opposed on the floor by Judge
Floyd Estill, Col. Arthur Crownover
and Capt. A. j. Skidmore. 1t was
favored by Capt. T. A. Embrey, l. G.
Phillips and Judge Frank L. Lynch
and nearly all the committee. 1t was

FIERCE CONTEST
over MESSAGE
DEMOCRATS WIN IN STRUGGLE
OVER THE BILLS URGED
BY ROOSEVELT.
MINORITY is IN GREAT GLEE
Result Will BE Most Advantageous
in The Coming Presidential
Campaign.

WASHINGTON, April I'm the
first real tussle between the demo
Gratis and republicans in the house OF
representatives which came today, the
democrats succeeded In forcing ad-
verse votes from the republicans on
the proposition to remove the tariff
on wood pulp and white paper and
for legislation restricting the scope OF
federal injunctions.
Both of these issues were urged by
the President in his most recent mes
sage to congress, and it was over the
distribution of the message that the
battle of the partisans was waged.
The contest was unexpected. 1t came
after o'clock in the afternoon when
most of the members were expecting
an adjournment. From that time until
10 O'Clock the contest was waged
fiercely. 1t was precipitated by Rep
resentative Payne, leader of the re-
publican forces, who, securing the
floor to offer a resolution for the dis
tribution of the Presidents message
to the various committees having
Jurisdiction of the matters recon-
mended, took occasion to outline the
republican legislative plans.
Mr.. Payne said that as the repub-
lican party being in the majority,
would be held responsible for all leg
islation it would enact such laws as
it saw proper and would not be CO.
creed or driven by the democratic
minority AS the democrats had an
nounced their intention to adopt dila-
tory tactics, he announced for the
majority that no quarter would be
shown the minority until it changed
its program.
The majority would proceed to en-
act such laws as it desired to have
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1908-04-10

passed. He then announced that nc
debate would be permitted on the res
olution distributing the Presidents
message The minority asked for an
hour. thirty minutes, ten minutes, but
Payne was obdurate. Then the battle
opened. Tellers were demanded by
the democrats on all motions made in
the committee of the whole, and yeas
and nays when the house was in reg
ular session. John Sharp Williams
presented an amendment to that sec
ton of the Presidents message urging
the removal of the tariff on wood pulp
and white print paper and the ways
and means committee be directed to
report a bill providing for such re-
moval. On this amendment he de-
manded tellers, and the republicans
voted solidly against it.
Representative Clayton of Alabama
offered an amendment embodying the
principles of his bill restricting the
scope of federal injunctions and re-
curing hearings before the issue of
injunctions. Again the republicans
voted solidly against the proposition,
although 1t was one of the features of
the Presidents messages.
The efforts of the democrats to
bring out measures held by the COM
mittees or to secure favorable action
on other measures by the house were
broken by frequent dilatory motions.
On the final passage of the resolution
the message, which was by
a yea and nay vote, the vote was near
~ unanimous.
As result of the contest democrat
ic leaders were jubilant tonight.
Representative Lloyd chairman of
the democratic congressional cam
paign committee, said that the repub-
licans had been lined up squarely
against all policies strongly urged by
the President, while the democrats
had all taken positions behind these
policies. which were non-partisan, and
by the people. He argued
that the result of the nights work
would be most advantageous to the
democrats in the coming campaign.

SALOONS DOOMED
IN HALF ILLINOIS
VOTE WILL BE TAKEN ~ 1900
TOWNS AND CITIES IN To-
DAYS ELECTION.
ANTS IRE SANGUIN OF RESULT
Will. Saloon Men Are Blue And
coneede Hall The State
To "Drys."

CHICAGO, April 6.-The state o.
Illinois in tomorrow's election vii
souarely face the saloon issue and the
voters have been thoroughly cam
paigned, both through speeches and
by tons of literature that have gone
through the mails.
In 1900 townships, villages and
cities of the state the issue will DC
on the ballot. 1t was conceded to
night by those interested in the sa
looms that at least half of these cleo
lions will result in verdict of dry.
Rudolph Brand, trustee of the Uni
ted States Brewers Association, con
tended that there are nearly 600 OF
the townships involved that have new
er had saloons and that local option
vote from such quarters should not
be regarded as significant. He said
that every one of the large cities in
volved will vote to continue the sa-
loon.
Dan Loeb. president of the Liberty
League. which has had charge of the
down-state campaign in favor of the
saloon, was not so hopeful. He
thought that the result Snight show
saloons driven from several of the
cities and nearly all of the rural dis
trirts.
Charles R. Jones, chairman of the
prohibitionist committee, claims that
his forces will carry every election
district, and that the only saloons left
in Chicago will be those in which the
subject is not voted on.
The local option issue does not in
volve the city of Chicago, as the pc
tition for a local option ballot failed
of sufficient signatures. In that city,
however, the question of Sunday clos
ing is very much to the front. The
United Societies for Local Self-Gov-
eminent, an organization of foreign
born. Turner and other societies,
sought to have the question submitted
to a vote. but it was ruled off the bal
lot on the ground that the people
cannot vote on the enforcement OF a
state law. The cause is now before
the supreme court. The societies, de-
feated in their purpose, turned their
attention to the candidates for alder
men and influenced two-thirds of them
to sign a pledge declaring themselves
in favor of an open Sunday and the
issuance of special all-night bar per-
mits to societies having dances or 9TH
er entertainments. The Chicago Law
and Order League is opposing these
candidates. but admitted tonight that
a majority of the new council will be
50 pledged.
