torney general to name one OF the
receivers appointed for insOlvent
railroads; to remove the duty on
wood pulp; TO provide for the con-
struction Of four battleships instead

WASHINGTON, April lin pic
turesque language. at times violent
ly denunciatory. Alfred o. Crozier OF
Wilmington. Del. told the house
committee on banking and currency
that he had uneaFthed a secret
scheme for a compromise on the Al
drich currency bill He indicated
plainly that the members Of the cur
rency commission and the American
Bankers association did not act fair
ly with the banking and currency
commission in unanimously opposing
the Aldrieh bill.
While opposing the bill in princi-
pie. he said:
The members of that commission
objected to 1t because the emergency
currency was to bear per cent In
terest and are ready to support Il now
II the interest is reduced TO 3 per
cent.
Last evening our distinguished
banking friends had a conference. .
he said. To-day they are having
another with the wicked promoters
of the wicked Aldrieh and Yreeiand
bills. What for? They are agreeing
on a compromise. On what basis !?
Just a simple little amendment re-
ducing the tax TO per cent and some
other minor changes"
He declared that this conference
was only held before the banking and
currency committee had been closed
''If this commission had not hon
ored me with this opportunity to
speak at this postscript to the public
hearings. said Mr. croEier. and II
one Of the distinguished bankers who
addressed you yesterday had not mis-
taken me last evening for one OF their
fraternity and unreservedly talked to
me and told me the whole program.

TIES UP STEAMER
The Telephone Is Out Of Service for
the Present.

The Telephone Is Out Of Service for
the Present.
Since the consolidation of the two
steamboat companies on the lake,
the merging of the White Star Navi-
cation company into the Red Collar
line, number of changes have taken
place, among them the retirement
from service of the steamer TeIe-
phone.
The Telephone was one OF the
White Star line of boats, and has
been doing service as a freight boat
between this place and upriver points.
After the consolidation of the COM
panies ]. C. White felt that he had
sufficient boats to handle the lake
traffic at present without the Tele-
phone. and this morning the boat was
retired.
The crew that had charge of the
boat had evidently become attached
to it and today after they were dis
charged they gave expression to their
feelings of having to part with it by
placing crepe on the cabin door. This
was called to the attention of Man
ager White and he Immediately or
dered his men to have 1t taken of
which was done. The boat will prob
ably be put into service again as soon
as the summer traffic commences.

GLRARD PROHIS.
Bomb Exploded in Front Of Homes
Of Pr0hi Leader and Ministers.
I'm RESENT OF ARRESTS
Use Of Dynamite Taken as a Warning In
Booze Agitation No Damage
Was Attempted.

Feeling between the members Of the
Law and Order league at Girard, Ala.
and persons opposed to the prohibi-
ton laws. reached its height Friday
night when dynamite bombs were ex-
ploded in front Of the residences Of c..
T. Clifford, president Of the league.
and two Girard ministers active in
the league, No damage, however,
was done to persons or property.
The explosion followed the arrest Of
six men, three whites and three me-
groes for violating the prohibition
laws. The Law and Order league
swore out eleven warrants on informa
ton secured by detective in the en-
ploy of the league The detective says
he got so close to the whisky vendors
that one of them offered to take him
into the business as partner.
So much feeling was engendered
against the Law and Order league
that the officers were moved to issue
a statement. in which they told that
the resentment against the organiza-
ton is unwarranted.
We are prepared to protect any and
every man who has been in our EN-
ploy," says the statement, Eve want
It known that We assume all response
hility.
These violations have been in a
sneaky form. and yet the violators
seem to be surprised when we get a
secret man to catch them"
Officers Of the league express the
opinion that the dynamite explosions
were erected to intimidate them.
Friends Of the anti-prohibitionist de-
clare that nischievous young men
men caused the explosions.

PRESIDENT ANGERED
At Change That he ia Using Patronage ii
Ala Of Taft Singing PUBIC
Reply is Coming.


A Washington special says: Pres
tdent Roosevelt feels very keenly the
charges recently made against the adj
ministration Of the use Of federal pa
tronage to secure delegates to the next
republican national convention pledged
to the nomination Of Secretary TAFT.
This feeling has been strongly en-
phasized and vigorous sentiment OF
antagonism aroused by the action of
the senate recently in holding up ex.
ecutive appointments for confirmation.
Accordingly the president called the
members Of his cabinet together
Thursday morning and discussed with
them the subject of making public
reply to these charges. All the mem
bers Of the cabinet were present ex-
scept Secretary CorteIyou.. Several Of
the cabinet officers had engagements
to appear before congressional com
mittees on various subjects Of pend.
ing legislation, and were compelled
to cancel them when the urgent sum
mons from the white house were re-
ceived. The president instructed all
the members of his cabinet to prepare
as soon as possible a full list of the
recent appointments in his department
with the facts in each case. The
time which the order covered was left
indefinite, and several members were
in doubt as to whether all recess ap-
pointments since the adjournment of
the last congress were meant or sim
ply those made since January 1.
At any rate the records are being
looked up, and when the facts are
placed in the hands Of the president he
will issue public statement. It will
will issue a public statement. 1t will
not be addressed to congress.
1t win be recalled that among the
first appointments held up were those
Of postmasters at Toccoa and Conysrs,
Ga, to succeed the incumbents, who
are women. The new appointments
were referred to the postof1ce cabinet
and pigeon-holed. Next the senate or
dered an investigation in the Pensa-
cola. Fla. postofice affair. It ap.
pears that in this case a postmaster
has been illegally holding office for
a year after being rejected by the
senate for incompetency.
Next the senate rejected certain ap-
pointments on the ground that they are
made for political effect and in the in
terest Of Secretary Taft. Finally, "a
New Hampshire appointment was made
without consultation with the senators
from that state, and man was Sc
lected whom they opposed.
The president has Indignantly de-
MED making use of the. executive ap-
pointive power for political purposes,
and in each instance has asked for
specifications and promised those In.
terested square deal.
In Georgia the announcement was
made that the changes ordered were
for incompetency on the part OF the
incumbents. For several days it has
been reported that the president in.
tended to retaliate against the senate
for thus blocking practically all APP
pointments sent In Just how this was
to be done is not apparent The veiled
instnuation contained in the letter Of
Governor Hughes to the republican
club is said to have been particularly
exasperating to President Roosevelt
and to have determined him upon the
present course.

Candidate for Congress in the First Congress
sional District of Georgia.

To the White Voters of the First Congression-
al District of Georgia:
Below is a statement Of my views on ma
tional issues. Your careful consideration is
respectfully invited
l. Direct legislation upon matters Of import
ance; election of all officers by the people,
with the right to recall
2. Revision of the tariff laws by placing
the necessities of life on the free list, leaving
the tariff on the Injuries Of life for revenue
only.
3. A progressive income and Inheritance
tax.
4. The government should issue all money;
it should be issued in sufficient quantities to
properly carry on the business Of the country
and when issued should be placed where most
needed.
5. The cessation in every line Of an extrav-
agant expenditure Of government funds, and
a substitution of economic administration.
6. Favor postal savings banks: parcels
post for carrying as large packages posi-
bic at the lowest rates and an extension Of the
Rural Free Delivery System
Z. Favor abolishing the franking privilege.
so as to prevent congressman from defraudng
the government out Of thousands of dollars
to further their own ends and perpetuate
themselves in office.
g. Prevention Of gambling in stocks and fu-
lures. A rigid enforcement of the laws
against monopolies and trusts not by fines
alone, but by putting in the penitentiary those
responsible for the violation
g. A strict control Of all public utilities, so
as to guarantee to the people their rights at
the hands Of these public servants; if this
cannot be done then the government should
and operate them for the benefit of the
public.
10. Free the Philippine Islands and give
them self-government.
IL. Preservation of state rights; and re-
striction of encroachments of Federal Courts
II. immigration should be so restricted that
the criminal classes and the undesirable citi-
zens Of foreign countries cannot be dumped
upon our shores, at the same time we should
not object to the coming to this country of
the better classes who will be compatible with
our form of government and will make us
good citizens.
Ii. Believing it would be best for the col
ored people, as well as the white people, that
the two races should be separated politically,
as we'll as socially, legislation should be en-
acted, and if necessary the constitution
amended, to take the negro out Of politics.
a. Prohibition

HON. THAD PICKETT CoMMENDs COL
j. L. FOSTER, CANDIDATE FOR
JUDGE OF BLUE RIDGE CIRCUIT.


Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson Ca
Dear Sir: I send you by today's mail the
Marietta News and Marietta Courier The
Courier, which is Morris paper, undertakes
to defend him of the charge that he undertook
to- disfranchise the populists at the June pri-
mary by seeking to have the State Executive
Committee to adopt rules Notwithstanding
the Macon Platform) that would exclude
them from voting. The News contains reply
to Morris
The truth is Morris and Boykin Wright
both of whom we're appointed on the commit
tee by Chairman Miller morris tried to beat
Foster for committeeman's place at Macon
but failed and I have understood that the
10th district refused to elect Wright), would
have succeeded in excluding the populist had
it not have been for Foster whose amendment
to the rules reported by the subcommittee
forced the democratic executive committee of
each county to put the names of all white reg
istered and legally qualified voters on the
voters list
Fosters amendment as first offered was
call white registered voters" After it had
been fought over, voted on, and carried before
nounced the result, they suggested to Foster
to add the word "quaifed - Foster agreed
to this by adding also the word "legally,"
making the sense of the amendment the same
as It's original form, as the word "Iegally'
could not apply to party qualification, while
the word "qualifed'' by itself would have,
but the two words taken together illegally
qualified, OF course, means according to law.
So you see our friend Foster took care of
us, and [ feel that he ought to get credit for
it, and inasmuch as it is in keeping with his
record two years ago when he voted against
the caption that was placed on the democratic
ticket.
Foster and Morris are now opposing each
other for the judgeship of Blue Ridge cir
cult, and | think that all of our populist
friends should be fully Informed about the
matter. You will get the facts from Morris
article III his own paper The Courier, and
the reply to it in The News, which I have
mailed you Foster made a hard fight for
his amendment and whipped Morris and Boy
kin Wright before the committee, and [ be-
heve that they ought to be shown up. and [
know that an article by you in the Jefferson
ian would do more to give Foster the credit
that is Justly due him than anything else
Read the rules Of the committee, read Nor
ris' defense in The Courier, and the reply to
it In The News, and I believe that you will
agree with me that Foster deserves the credit

Engineers Of the Inland Empire
Electric line company, known as the
Graves road, are now working along
the Hatvai creek on the route that
will bring the line into the Lewiston
valley. They have been engaged
on the Haswai section Of the work
for three or four days and yesterday
ran line as far west as the James
Vernon place, a mile and a quarter
from the city limits on the north
bank Of the Clearwater. For some
weeks, the company has been work
ing on the surveys for the extension
OF the line from Moscow and evident
ly now this work has advanced to
such a point that the Lewiston end
is receiving final attention.
The work now being done by the
surveyors on the Hatwai would indi-
cate they are endeavoring to secure
route down the west bank of the
stream in reaching the Clearwater,
although they have run several pre-
liminary lines. The company two
years ago made very comprehensive
surveys of the Haswai route all the
way from Genesee y the Clearwater
and thence to poinsPpposite Lew
iston when three bridge sites we're
viewed out. The present work is
accepted by some as meaning the
final checking up Of tnese earlier
surveys in connection with the final
location OF the line.
The earlier surveys seemed to
have provided for route down the
east side Of the Hatwai with cross
