Our of the executive session of the
United States Senate leaks an incident
tending to illustrate President Roose-
welt - peculiar regard for the Constitu-
ton in the matter Of appointment to
Office. According to the account Of
Senator Taliaferro, the President nomi-
mated last winter postmaster for PEN
, sacola, Florida. On March last his
nomination was rejected by the Senate.
But he has permitted his rejected post
master to remain to this day in quiet
possession of his office This is denoun-
ced as fragrant violation Of constitu-
tional provisions. laws and presidents,
not to mention the wounded dignity Of
the Senate. Although Senator ITALIA
ferro presented in executive session
complete data concerning this alleged
executive usurpation, il may turn out,
on full investigation, that it was an
oversight of the President or the fault
Of the Postmaster Generals Depart
ment. The President could hardly
have done this with deliberate design.

CHARGES
 MADE LAST NIGHT

The present fight on the license of the saloon in Jefferson county reach ed a white heat last night when the Rev. Dr. Naples on the court house square openly charged that the negro preachers of Jefferson county had been brought to the city and attempts to bribe them had been made.
 Naples declared that the effort was to buy up the negro preachers and through them to control the negro vote at the polls Monday in favor of the saloon. The announcement fell like bombshell in the audience while in vitriolic invective the speaker poured hot shot against the perpe- trators of the alleged bribery.
 Fully two thousand people were as sambled to hear the speech and the court house square was packed from the river bank almost to Barraque street At the close of a ringing period of oratory in his speech Mr Naples called for standing vote on those who were opposed to the con- tinuance of the saloon in Jefferson county and the audience arose al- most en masse in answer to his ap-

STANDARD OIL
 FILES ANSWER

Oil Company of Indiana. and did it base it's fine upon the wealth of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and it's ability to pay instead of upon the wealth of the Standard Oil Com pany o1 Indiana and it's ability to pay"
 To determine this question, the Standard Oil attorneys assert that a few sentences extracted by the gov ernment counsel from the words of Judge Landis are not sufficient and quote at length from Judge Landis opinion to show that he referred to the New Jersey corporation "as the real defendant and the Indiana com- pany as the nominal defendant
 In conclusion the answer asserts the suggestion of the government counsel that a rehearing be granted in order to certify the question to the Federal Supreme Court is not a pros per one because there is no division of opinion among the judges of the re- viewing court.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Counsel for the Standard Oil Company of Indiana in an answer filed today to the petition of the government attorneys for re- hearing of the appeal from Jugde Lan- dis judgment fining the company $29,240,000 for violation of the anti rebate laws, upheld the decision of Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in reversing the judgment and lifting the burden of the enor- nous fine as good law and amply jus tified by the record in the case.
 In the petition for rehearing the re- viewing judges are charged with as suming that Judge Landis attempted to try and punish the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey in the origi- nal proceedings which were against the Standard Oil Company of Indiana On this point the answer declares it to be a matter of no consequence whether the trial court referred to the New Jersey company or the Indiana company as not the virgin offender" The real point in said answer is, Did the trial court in imposing punish ment take into consideration the re- lation between the Standard Oil Con- pany of New Jersey and the Standard

 to vote for no license, claiming that
 nine-tenths of the race hatred be- tween blacks and white arose from
