sOners attorneys were endeavOring to
prove that during the struggle be-
tween Guerin and Mrs. Mcdonald she
turned the revolver against him and
he pulled the trigger. firing a shot in
to his own chest. The state contend
ed that if such had been the case the
bullet would have taken a different di-
rection from that which it actually
took DR.. NJ. l.. Harris, an expert on
gunshot wounds, enacted the part Of

PLEA MADE FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION FOR NEGROES

Washington, November 25.-(Spe-
cial.)-In an address before Howard
university today the president, w. F..
Thirkield, on the subject. "Why the
Negro Should Have Higher Educa
tion,' said: "The elementary schools
of the south have done an unparal-
lcled work since emancipation. But
that work would have been an i'm
possibility had 1t not been for the
teachers trained in the higher insti-
tutions, established and sustained by
Ch ristian benevolence.
''In the interest of pure Industrial
ism for the negro, this higher train
ing is a necessity. For his leaders
and teachers in the industries the dis
cipline of mind and spirit is imper
ative. To train the mechanics of a
race of nine millions is an endless
task. But it is possible to train the
master mechanics, who may go forth

VETERANS ASKED
TO HONOR DAVIS

New Orleans, November 25.-By COM
mand of Clement A. Evans, general conf
manding, Adult. Gen. William E. Mickle
tonight issued from the headquarters of
the United Confederate Veterans a gem
eral order asking that all Confederate or
ganizations unite in appropriately observ-
ing December 6, which marks the nine
teenth anniversary of the death of Presi-
dent Jefferson Davis.
General Evans invites attention to the
resolutions passed at the Birmingham re-
union by the Southern Memorial associa-
tion calling upon school authorities of the
south to make the life of Jefferson Davis
a special study December of this year,
inasmuch as the schools generally observed
June g. 1908, the Tooth anniversary of the
birth of Jefferson Davis, as holiday
These resolutions asked that on Decem-
ber the children be required to prepare
sketches of Jefferson Davis This is ad-
visable, according to the resolution, lin
that there should be impaired to the chill
dren of the south true and impartial
history of that cause for which their
fathers fought and their mothers suf-
fered and there should be instilled in
their minds love and reverence for the
memory of Jefferson Davis, the first and
only President of the Confederate States
of America"

CANNON EXPECTS TAFT
TO MAKE AN APOLOGY

washington, November 25.-(Special.)-
Speaker Cannon called upon the President
today and spent half an hour talking
over the tariff. 1t is pretty well UNDER
stood that the speaker gave expression
to views heretofore announced by him
in his interviews to the effect that he
favored a revision of the tariff along the
lines of the republican platform. rms
of course, is open to several constructions
as the republican platform will not be
violated if rates are either increased
or decreased
However, the speaker talked on the re-
duction side and it is fair to assume that
the 'old man" will not stand in the way
of a reduction. This does not mean that
rates will be cut down to a revenue basis,
where they ought to be, but rather that
when the percentages of schedules are
footed up it will not be for the democrats
to saw that the tariff has not been re-
d,,ced. Not witness who has appeared
before the ways and means committee
advocating increased protection or sta
tionary rates has been able to stand up
under questions put to him by the MEM
bers of the committee, especially the mi
nority members and when the commit
tee comes to draft its bill it will be a. hard
matter to justify the maintenance of the
present schedules and it is doubtful if 1t
will be attempted by a respectable mi
nority of the republican side.
Speaker Cannon's visit to the White
House was followed by that of one of his
strongest supporters, Representative Taw-
ney. chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee.
The report then became current that

TiptonViIIe Lynching Briugs Out
Plain Statement
QUICK VENGEANCE OF MOB
Patterson Shows How Mobs Visit Sud-
den Death Upon Criminal Negroes
In the South, But Stop
With That.

Nashville, November 25.--The fresh
outbreak of lswlessnass in Tennessee.
which occurred at Tiptonvine last night
was tonight made the subject of a
public statement by Governor Patter-
son. He declares:
'The cause was not in the law $
delay or the uncertainty of punish
ment, but was simply the act of in
furiate men who were aroused to
desperate vengeance against the mur-
derers of the officers who had been
sent to arrest them.
BAD as the lynching was we should
not forget that these occurrences are
not peculiar to the south but that
mobs have been formed and commit
ted far worse offenses in other Sec
tions and some of these are quite re-
cent"
the governor further asserts that
the negro is as a rule, safer in the
south and better treated than any
where else in the country. The gov
ernor deplores the lynching at Tip
tonville and says he will offer aid of
troops If the sheriff finds himself un-
able to make arrests without them.
"ln the SOUTH he said, 1.-THE VEN
geance of the mob Is appeased when
the guilty offender is dealt with and
it does not extend to the negro as a
race, but in the north the mob has
often been indiscriminate and the in
nocent have suffered with the guilty.
1t extends to the race and is there
fore more destructive and harder to
control in it's widespread results"
Continuing he says
I'm the south we have had the night
rider and the terrors he bears for
peaceful citizens, but in the north is
the anarchist who is opposed to gov
! ernment itself.
Both are public enemies and should
be treated as such, but as between
the two the night rider is to be pre-
ferred for when a halt is called to
his depredations he may become good
citizen, while there is no hope for the
bomb thrower and anarchist

organizers and inspirers of their peo-
pie on higher industrial lines.
"As a result of personal observa-
ton over j score of years largely
spent in the south [ would affirm
that the sanest and safest leaders and
helpers of the negro race are the men
and women who have come from the
colleges and professional schools. Go
into any southern city where these
teachers, preachers and physicians are
engageo in work among their people
and you will find them in most in
stances by their conservative atti-
tude and constructive work, standing
for the best interests of both races.
"FuI thermore, the awful NOR ality of
the race calls, loudly for physicians
prepared by the higher training for
the most careful study of the diseases
peculiar to the negro. Physicians who
come in CLOSE touch with their own
people are needed for an lnveStiga-
tion of their environment and physical
condition and for the application of
preventives for the lessening of dis
ease and for stopping the frightfUI
mortality that decimates the race"

what Cannon's friends now expect is a
sort of an apology from Judge Taft for
harboring the suspicion that Speaker Can
non is not the best man in the House
to succeed himself. They expect this
apology to be forthcoming at any time.
The Cannon people are really in high
