Gov, HUGHES HITS
THE LEGISLATURE
GOES AFTER MEN WHO CAUSED
DEFEAT OF ANTLGAM5LING
MEASURE.
EXTRA SESSION TO BE CALLED
Unless The Members Pass Re-
form Legislation BY
April %.

ALBANY, n. Y, April 9.-Angered
by the massacre Of the Agnew-Hart
anu-race gambling bills, as well as
der favorite measures, Governor
h0o;les today defiantly initiated pol
icy r revenge.
The governor first issued a rebuke
to the Legislature for it's humiliation
of his pet projects, followed it up with
a notification that if they were not all
passed before April 23 he would haul
the lawmakers back into extra ses-
sion May IL; vetoed measures intro
duced by two of the senators who yes
terday disobeyed his orders; signed
graveyard and hospital bills submitted
by other recalcitrants; called upon
the clergy to inaugurate a campaign
looking to the political humiliation of
all who opposed him, and practically
fixed May IL for the election Of SEN
ator in the Niagara-Orleans district,
who, he hopes, will enable him to
dominate the SlIudIlou.
The governor, in his message, made
some concession to the opponents OF
the anti-race track bills. He recon-
mends a commission to investigate
Wall street. One of the strongest ar
guments made by the opponents OF
the Agnew-Hart measure has been
that they discriminate against race
track betting, while refraining from
saving one word against what was
frequently denounced in the senate as
a far greater evil-Wall street gam
bling.
The governors reprisal scheme in
furiated President pro tenn Raines OF
the senate and Speaker Wadsworth
of the assembly quite as much as It
did the democratic leaders OF both
houses. They promulgated commands
for the immediate rushing through OF
machine measures and final adjourn
ment without resurrection of a single
important proposition desired by the
executive.
VIM. Barnes, Jr., the Roosevelt boss
of Albany, emphasized the series OF
attacks upon Hughes by stigmatizlng
him as bulldozer.
Tonight friends Of the governor fear
that strong opposition to the governor
will develop in the state convention
on Saturday, and that the New YORK
delegation to Chicago will not be in
structed for Hughes as expected.

GEN. DUFFY ON
RESCUE WORK
COMMANDER OF AMERICAN SAL
WALTON ARMY SPEAKS TO
LARGE AUDIENCE.
Closes His Annual Tour of In
spection of Work In the
South.

Gen. Duffy, the commander-in-chief
of the American Salvation Army, de-
livered a strong address on Thurs
day night to a large congregation at
the First Presbyterian church. The
General is on his annual tour of in
spection of the work of the army and
spoke on the General Rescue Work
of the American Salvation Army" He
is an earnest and accomplished speak
er and his address was a forceful
plea for the splendid organization
which he represents. He will speak
again at the First Presbyterian church
tonight, at which time the permanent
officers for this post will be installed.
Gen. Duffy left the city with
his party Saturday for New York,
having completed his tour of the
South. Gen. Duffy is accompanied by
his wife and daughter and Adjutant
Koch. The commander expressed
himself Friday as being very much
pleased with the results of his tour.
He found that the army was doing
good work, and he was very much
gratifed with the interest which had
been manifested in it by the people
of Columbia He stated that Column
bia was fine little city and he be-
lieved that the people here appre-
ciated the work of the army as much
as they did in Philadelphia. He finds
that the Presbyterians everywhere are
great supporters of the Salvation ar
my and the Baptists are also most
generous, and in fact, nearly all the
evangelist churches give cordial aid
to the work,

A MONUMENT
OF RARE BEAUTY

On West Sixth street is towering
hedge of lavish and exquisite beauty,
and it is possessed of wealth of
meaning to the neighborhood 1t is to
them a monument erected by the late
Mrs. Sue Ogilvie to herself. She did
it unconsciously and unselfishly.
While she planted it friend said,
why do you do that? you may not
live to see it flower" She said,
Perhaps so, but others will enjoy it."
And others do enjoy it-9nd as 1t
waves gently, gracefully, luxuriantly
in the spring breezes, it breathes the
gentle spirit of her who planted 1t;
her beautiful nature, her kind thought
of others, her love for humanity, all
seem embodied in this rare emblem
she has bequeathed to us.
Many eyes are filed with tears as
they look at it; others enjoy only its
artistic beauty; to all it appeals in
some ennobling way, and thus does
the spirit of this noble woman still
live and work among us.

HAD OPPONENTS OF THESE MEASURES REAL
lied THEIR ADVANTAGE BOTH WOULD
HAVE FAILED ON TIE VOTE.
EXPECTED MAYOR 5IDDLE WILL BE NEEDED TO
BILLs-sUIT A eAINsT WATER LIGHT
COMPANY is UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED

A motion to adjourn offered by AL
derman G. w. Hayes at the meeting
of the Board of Mayor and Alder,
men Thursday night saved the Cow
Law and the jug Law from untimely
death Mayor Biddle was absent and
Chairman Ckafin of the Street Com
mittee presided. The six aldermen
present stood three to three, 1t is
said, on each measure, though no test
vote was taken to show how any Of
them stood. The two ordinances
would naturally have come up in the
regular order of business, and had the
opponents of the measure gotter to-
gether or had they realized their par
liamentary advantage, nothing could
have saved the measures, for they
would have failed for want of con-
stitutional majority. 1t appears, how
ever, that not one of the opponents
realized their advantage and that
they simply thought that it would be
useless to bring the measures up as
there would simply be a tie vote, so
when Mr.. Hayes offered the motion to
adjourn, it was passed by the neces-
sary majority vote.
Alderman Hayes has all along voted
against the Cow Law on the grounds
that a segregated law would work a
hardship on the people living without
the segregated area, by causing peo-
pie within the area to simply pasture
their cows on their neighbors outside
the segregated border.
Alderman Dedman announced when
the measure was first introduced that
while he would vote for it on the first
two readings, he would probably vote
against it on final reading as he
felt the people had already ex-
pressed themselves against it.
Alderman Swansburg, who was a
member of the old Board introduced
the resolution before that Board,
which left the passage of COW law
to vote of the people, and Mr..
Swansburg in effect pledged himself
to abide by the vote cast in that cleo
ton AS the majority of the vote
cast was against the measure, Mr..
Swansburg felt himself in duty bound
to oppose the present law, though like
Mr.. Dedman he voted for the measure
on the first two readings to facilitate
business. It will be seen therefore
that the vote of Mayor Biddle is neces-
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1908-04-17

sary to pass the measure and the
opinion prevails that the Mayor will
vote in favor of the measure when
the opportunity offers.
AS for the jug law, the impression
prevails that while three aldermen ia
vor the measure and Mayor Biddle
may be of the same way of thinking,
the measure may fail on final reading
because of constitutional reasons, or
because of the attitude of the Nation
al government which holds that bona
fide shipments from without the State
cannot be legally prevented. All the
members of the Board however, have
voted for this measure on the first
two readings, and it may be that the
popular impression regarding the final
disposition of the measure may be in
error.
The only business disposed of at
the meeting was the unanimous pass
age of a resolution providing for the
introduction in the Chancery Court OF
a bill against the Columbia Water &
Light Co. to forfeit the franchise and
charter of said company. The bill is
to be filed in the name of the State,
while the bill now pending was filed
in the name Of the city.
The resolution in full was as fol-
lows
BE it resolved, That it is to the
manifest interest of the City of Co
lumbia that a bill should be filed in
the Chancery Court of Maury county,
Tennessee, in the name of the State
Of Tennessee against the Columbia
Water & Light Co. to have the char
ter of said company forfeited for the
reasons set forth in the bill hereto
fore filed by the City of Columbia
against said company, which is now
pending in said court, as well as for
other reasons to be expressed in the
bill to be prepared and presented In
the event the District Attorney should
consider it advisable to institute SAID
proceedings.
BE it further resolved, That the
following named aldermen, W. A.
Dale. w. T. Chain, R. L. Mckinney
and G. w. Hayes be authorized to
cause or procure such bill to be filed
and take all steps necessary for that
purpose, and that they be Undermined
by the city from all costs or expenses
incurred by them in so doing"

Minneso sota's Great Fair.

In making your plans for the next
month you can hardly afford to
overlook the fact that the Minnesota
state fair, the greatest show Of its
kind on the continent. will take
place at Hamline Aug 81 to Sept. S.
and that it will be bigger and better
than ever before.
There is no need of exaggeration
in describing the Minnesota state
fair. It is a credit to the North
Star state that it should have the
best state fair in the country, and
this fact is generally conceded. But
one other agricultural fair in America
even approaches it, and that is the
Toronto show, which it is necessary
to assign to second place.
The fair is truly representative of
the whole state, of all its people, of
all its industries and of all its
resources. It has always been that,
but this year, under the initiative of
c. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it
will be a bigger and more entertain.
ing exhibit than it has ever been
before. Because this is the semi
centennial of statehood special effort
has been made, and the result is
certain to be a truly marvellous
exposition of Minnesota's vast
wealth and progress. ... !
The state fair has always had the
liberal support of the people of
Minnesota, and this will furnish no
exception to the rule. 1t deserves
popular support, but state pride
alone would not provide 1t; its sup
port comes because it is worth
patronizing, and because it is not
only instructive but vastly enter
tanning. ~

RURAL BRUTALITY.

A correspondent writing to the Rut-
land News protests against what he
terms Fultra.rtral brutahsmH Of some
clerks in a Rutland drug store who
released trapped rat before dog
and then enjoyed the fight between the
animals. Why eruralY brutalityg Ger
tainIy not because distinctive of the
country districts. Perhaps merely be.
cause the incident happened to take
place in Vermont, and the correspondent
hit upon that designation as a result.
We are surely rural in Vermont, but we
have yet to be shown that the act Of
setting a dog on a rat is distinctive
type Of rural depravity, as the writer
would have us believe. The same Incl.
dent might as well have transpired on
the streets Of New York, and doubtless
dess occur. If protests against such a
manner Of disposing Of q rodent are in
order, it would be better to leave out
the rural" designation, leaving for our
peculiar possessions up here in Vermont
what is distinetively, as well as dis
tinstIy, TO our discredit. We have faith
to believe that not even Rutlanders have
corner on such alleged brutality.
