ROOSEVELT TO
CURB CASTRO
If Proposition Of Delegating Power
is Favored by Congress.
BLANKET AUTHORITY
IL Suggestion of Some Lawmakers to Set
tie the Affair, Which President Con-
siders as "Bluff."

A Washington special says: From
number of conferences which Chair
man Cullom of the senate committee
on foreign relations has had recently
with President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Root, it is now probable that
before the adjournment of the present
emit session of congress, blanket au-
thority will be voted to the president
to proceed against Venzuela in such
manner. as subsequent events may re-
Quire to uphold the dignity Of the
United States, to protect the interests
Of American citizens.
A resolution giving such authority to
the president has been drafted by Sem
ator Cullom and approved by the pres
ldent and Secretary Root.
Il provides in general terms that the
president shall have the power to deal
with Venezuela in the matter of adj
Justing the controversies with that
country concerning wrongs done to
American citizens and corporations in
Venezuela by reason of the ill-treat-
ment they have received at the hands
Of President Castro.
Under such authority the admins
tration would again demand the sub
mission to arbitration of claims of
American citizens and corporations
against Venezuela.
If a resolution giving general author
ity to President Roosevelt to proceed
against Venezuela as he sees fit is
adopted by this congress, and If, in
that event, Mr. Castro should continue
in his present attitude, there is no
question that the American govern.
ment would have the power to resort
to force. Furthermore, the indications
are that an aggressive program would
be adopted.
President Roosevelt believes that
Castro is trying to bluff this gov.
eminent. Secretary Root believes that
the dignity of the diplomatic branch
Of the government has been trampled
upon and Senator Cullom and other
members of the foreign relations com.
mittee of the senate, believe, to use
the chairman's words, President Cas-
tro needs a spanking"

Joke OF GIRLS
ENDED SADLY
Father Crazed by Daughters Prank
Shoots Her and Suicides.
APRIL FOOL TRAGEDY
Parent BrOOded Over Daughters AbssntinE
Herself from School, In Fun With Other
Students, and Lost His Mind.

Enraged at his sixteen-year-old
daughter, Nellie, because Of a harmless
school girl prank, DR.. G. o. Swinney,
who recently came to Asheville, N. c.,
from New York, fired two shots at
her, fatally wounding her. and therz
turning the revolver on himself, ne
placed the muzzle in his mouth and
pulled the trigger, dying almost in
Stantly. Badly wounded as she was,
with two bullets embedded in her
skull, Miss Swinney ran from the room
and upstairs to the principals room
before she fell.
The tragedy occurred in the recep-
ton room of the Normal and Cole.
giate Institute, large girls boarding
school in Asheville, where Miss Swim
ney had been pupil for the past ses-
sion. Just what occurred prior to the
shooting is not known, as there, were
no witnesses, and the girl, while still
conscious, could give but vague ac-
count. DR.. Swinney, who up to few
years ago had been prominent physf--
clan in New York city, has FOR some
time past been in poor health, md OF
late, it is alleged, his mind has been
unbalanced.
Recently his daughter was one of q
number of school girls, who. as an
April Fools joke. absented themselves
from school, and the father brooded
over the little escapade until 1t assum-
ed to him the proportions of actual
wrongdoing. and eliminated in the
bloody tragedy.

JAYNE HILL EPISODE
Aired in House and Members Criticiss Rich
assadors---Griggs Discusses
Disfranchisement

DlstranchlSement.
A Washington dispatch says: The at.
titude of Emperor William and the
Berlin court toward David Jayne Hill,
named by the president to be ambas-
dor at that capital, was the subject OF
comment in the house of representa-
tives Friday during the consideration
of the diplomatic consular bill.
Both Mr.. Perkins, of New York, and
Mr.. Slayden, OF Texas, expressed the
opinion that the objection to Mr. Hill
was due to no other cause than that
Mr.. Hill was financially unable to
maintain certain standard of social
representation. Each of them con-
demned the practice which they said
had grown up of selecting men OF
great wealth to be the nations diplo-
matte representatives abroad, and
urged, as means of counteracting
the effect of such policy, the housing
of our diplomats In buildings owned
by the government and the allowance
to them of salaries sufficient to enable
them to maintain the dignity of their
high Offices.
Under license of general debate, Mr..
Griggs, OF Georgia, spoke in advocacy
of the Acknowledgement of the southern
negro; Mr.. Burton, of Ohio, discussed
the causes of the recent financial de-
preston; Mr.. Hill, of Connecticut, reit-
Grated his views in favor Of the Fowler
financial bill; Mr.. Bird Of Mississippi,
attacked the protective tariff policy
of the republicans; Mr.. Thomas, OF
North Carolina, made plea in support
Of the proposition for an inland water
way from Cape Cod to Beaufort, N
c., and Mr. Saunders, of Vir
ginia, urged governmental aid to vari-
GUS schools of the several states.
In his argument favoring the dis
REIMBURSEMENT of the southern negroes
Mr.. Griggs declared that such disfran'
chisement was necessary to insure
while control and the peace and pros
perity of the north.
In consequence of such action, he
said, the negro would be no less a fac
tor than he. is now "At present" Mr.
Griggs said, ''he is only menace and
a scarecrow-not factor, in determin
ing political issues" The rights Of
the negro of the south, he maintained
were guaranteed only through white
judges and white jurors and those
rights were not changed by disfran
chisement.

GIRL AND NEGRO FIGHT DUEL.
Both Used Guns But Girl Finally Succeed
ed in Routing Assailant.

There was intense excitement in
Thomasville, Ca, Saturday morning
when 1t was learned that Miss Ellen
Quarterman, a 14-year-old girl, had
been shot at by negro at the home
Of her father, three miles from town.
The negro came up and asked for
money. This she refused, and went in
the house, saying that she was going to
get what was there. She returned and
opened fire with her fathers gun. The
negro shot at her three times, the
shot going through her dress and hat
He went away, but came back and told
her that he would kill her, as she
tried to shoot him.
She opened fire again, and ON the
first shot the negro fell against post,
but left the house. AS soon as posi-
BILE posse was sent with dogs, but
no trace was found.

m,LENDoN TAKES RESPONSIBILITY
For Issuance of That Muchly- Discussed
Free Transportation Order.


Chairman McLendon, of the Geor-
gia state railroad commission, Friday
made reply to the criticism of Pres
ident Duckworth, Of the Farmers I'm
ion. who charged that the state admin
istration was apparently behind a
scheme to foist immigration upon the
state, whether or not the people want
ed 1t.
Chairman McLendon, in his state
ment, assumes full responsibility in
hebalf of the railroad commission, but
says shat Governor Smith had no
more to do with this order than Mr..
Duckworth had"
But President Duckworth looks at It
in a different light, and takes the po-
sition that as Governor Smith had
proclaimed the policy that he would
fire any member of the railroad con-
mission who did not agree with his
views, he must share the full respon-
sibility of the orders emanating from
that body, especially as this particu-
lar order is in line with the governors
well known views on immigration.

greatest state fair this year ever held
in Georgia"
This is the enthusiastic manner in
which r. F. Duckworth, president of
the Georgia division Of the Farmers
Union, speaks of the big fair to be
held in Atlanta this fall under the
auspices of the organization which he
heads.
Mr.. Duckworth talked Interestingly
OF the big agricultural show. He says
the work of preparing the premium list
and making other preparatory arrange
ments will be done when the fair COM
mittee of the Farmers Union meets in
Atlanta. This committee consists of
one member from each of the congress
Sional districts.
A draft Of the premium list will be
presented to this committee by the di-
rectors of the Atlanta Fair Association
and this will be perfected and then Civ
en- to the printers.

Government Road Planned.
Petitions for a. 60-mile macadam road
from Atlanta to Waco, to be construct
ed by the war department, are being
circulated and have already received a
large number of signatures. Represen-
tative Lon F. Livingston is one of the
movers and the petitions state he has
promised his influence in congress to
further the project.
At Waco the war department has
established rifle range, and it is to
provide a good route for the soldiers
from Fort Mcpherson that the road
has been proposed. AS government
roads are probably the best ever con-
structed, the highway would be of
great advantage to the sections
through which it would pass.
Planning for Farmers Institutes.
DIR. A. M. Soule, president of the
agricultural college at tAhens, an
nounces that during the latter part of
June he will hold farmers institutes
in twenty-four senatorial districts in
Georgia, exact dates to be announced
later.
Institutes will be held in the other
twenty senatorial districts during the
! fall.
With DR.. Soule there will be three
corps of instructors, and these will
cover the work of twenty-four insti-
tutes in one week Each of these lee
turers will be an expert and will
doubtless give the farmer much theo-
retical work which can be readily plac-
ed into practice.
One of the chief subjects to be dwelt
upon will be that of self-support upon
an economical basis for the planter.
Along this line, Dr. Soule, who is an
ardent advocate of the use of cotton
seed meal, mixed with cotton seed
hulls, as a cattle feed, will show how
it is possible to secure the best results
at the least possible cost by this meth,
cd of feeding.
It will be shown that this feed is
equally good for horses. Cotton seed
meal and hulls, a southern product, is
very much more cheap than western
hay and bran, at the same time being
better fat producer.
