1t is more probable that the RI
fle is to protect him from the
wildsbeasts which he expects the
government opropogate in the
park.
But there is another sugges-
ton, which The Landmark does
MT advance, but as a faithful
chronicler OF events it feels i'm
PEELED, reluctantly to record it.
It's this: Mr.. Llnney may posi-
bly,, (possibly mind you,) land in
Congress as a result OF his anti
park agitation. OF course he is
not agitating with this end in
view. Perish the thought! He is
simply the disinterested defend
er and champion OF the rights OF
the common people. But should
the people, in return for his no.
BILE championship OF their rights,
land him in Congress he would
be there and it would he unbe-
coming in him to run away,
which he wouldn'tdo, for Mr..
Linney doesn't ruu away from
duty ordanger. But here's where
the enemy OF the Patriot comes
in with the dark and reasonable
suggestions. If Mr.. Linney was
in Congress he would be one OF
the governments potentates,
wouldn't he? Then when t h e
government potentates the kings
and princes, come down to hunt
in the royal park (Oh! the sug-
gestion is awful, but duty drives
us on) Mr.. Linney would have
equalrights and privileges with
them and could join in the chase.
He's got the Marlin rifle that
shoots two miles and has receiv-
ed a special order ofammunition;
and the other day a Statesville
man saw him a-leading OF two
hound dogs, which it may be he
is training to join in the chase
and help on the sport when the
royal potentates come a-hunt-
ling over the grave yards a n d
bones of the ancestors fthe peo.
pie, and on the land which they
have taken from the people.
and,for their
pleasure turned into a home for
the wolf and the bear.
Is it possible that the rife, the
ammunition and the hound dogs
are the evidence which will rise
up against the defender of t b G
people. Perish the thought The
suggestion is a damnable inven-
tion OF the enemy.

Mr.. Llnney Under Suspicion.
lStatesyille Landmark. J

The Hon. R. q. Llnney, OF the
county OF Alexander who talks a
bout the Appalachian forest re-
serve when he is awake and when
asleep dreams that the wild
beasts are roaming the noun
tain forests as a result thereof, is
evidently preparing for war-or
for the chase.
Mr.. Linney, it will be recalled,
has been telling the mountain
people that this so-called forest
reserve is a scheme OF the gov
ernment to take the land of the
people (Mr. Linney leaves the i'm
preston that the government is
going to take the land without
Offering any compensation or so
much as saying, by yourleave.')
The purpose OF this nefarious
scheme, he insists, is to establish
a park, or pleasure ground, for
the pleasure of kings and prime.
es, otherwise the President, cabi-
net officers, Senators and other
government potentates, who will
spend their leisure hunting in the
forests, as did the monarchs in
olden days. The homes OF the
people, the graveyards W b Q r g
their dead ancestors lie buried,
every loved spot that their in
fancy knew, according to Mr..
Linney, will be taken from them
and turned into a bowling wilder
ness so that the wild beasts may
grow and thrive thereon and fur
nish sport for the government
potentates aforesaid. All this and
much more does Mr.. Linney say
about the park preserve.
But to the point. 1t falls out
that Mr.. Linney ownsa big Mar
lin rife Whether he bought it
since he became possessed OF the
idea that the government W a s
going to take his Watauga tim
ber land for q royal hunting
ground we don't know, and we're
not saying that he did, but we
have evidence that he owns the
gun aforesaid. Recently he made
an order, through a Statesville
hardware firm, for several rounds
of special ammunition for his
trusty rife, and the ammuni-
tion he got iscalculated to strike
terror to the hearts Of the park
promoters, or anybody whogets
in ranges..of MIR. Linncy's gun.
With his Marlin rifle and the am.
munitionswith which he is provi'
ded, he can pick off a man or a
wild beast two miles away, Think
oft!
Nowswhat do you suppose Mr..
Linney is going to do with that
death-dealing weapon and the
special ammunition lie has or
dered? The Landmark. doesn't t
know and it isn't a-saying: 1t
might be suggested that he isgo.
ing to pick off the government
officers when. they go to Watau-
ga to take possession Of Mr.. Lin
ney's land for q pleaure park.
But The Landmark doesn't take
any stock in the suggestion, for
Mr.. Linney is a alaw-abidlng man.

committee on Committees did
appoint him to the committee
on Public lands but Senator
Hansborough made such a fuss
about it that they had to take
him off as Mr.. Hansborough is
chairman. Then merely to give
him something they appointed
LaFollette to the committee Of
Military Affairs. He was equally
welcome there, but it took
some ingenuity to get rid of the
unwelcome member. Finally a
plan was devised which worked
beautifully. The story was whis-
pered about that Senator LaFol
lette had been made the victim
of a plot, that the Military A.
fairs committee would soon have
to vote on the Brownsville case,
that if LaFollette voted against
the President it would shatter
his prestige in Wisconsin where
his chief strength has been his ad
vocacy oi the Roosevelt policies,
while if he voted for the report
declaring the negroes guilty he
would stand no chanceo getting

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Democratic in Congress q are
greatly reioiced oversthe recent
exchange Of courtesies between
John Sharp William and Repre-
sentative'De Almond on the floor
OF the House. 1t was feared that
the !altercation which occurred
between these two strong Demo-
Gratis would result in q perma-
nent estrangement and would so
weaken the minority. A trifing
debate over the question ofwhat
should be done with the report
OF the ioint committee on Revis-
ion of the laws afforded the op-
portunity which Mr.. Williams
seized, yielding the floor to Mr..
De Almond, and so peace was
brought about. 1t was natural
ly the place of Mr.. Williams to
take the initiative in the recon-
citation. He had won the victo-
ry over De Almond in the recent
contest for the House leadership
and has been selected at the pri-
maries Of his state for the SEN
ate, to which he will be duly elec.
ted. Whe n heis it is probable that
Judge De Almond will succeed
him as minority leader.
The Presidents efforts to have
q naval surgeon command q ma
val vessel seem destined to meet
with failure. He has assigned
Surgeon Stokes to the command
Of the hospital ship Relief, and
Stokes is now being addressed in
the Navy Department as Doctor
Captain, but it will take time and
$4,000 to fit out the Relief and
meanwhile Senator Hale, chair
man Of the committee on Naval
Affairs has introduced q bill for
bidding the assignment Of staff
officers to tho command Of any
naval vessel. Mr.. Hale's bill also
prohibits the existence OF the Ma
val General Board, which has
been called into existence by ex.
ecutive order, and despite t h &
fact that Congress has never
been willing to consent to it's Gre
alton by law.
Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker ol
the House, has been caught red
handed playing politics with
House committee places. At the
beginning Of the Session, Mr.. Car
non declared that he was utterly
opposed to the creation Of the
White Mountain Forest Reserve
and the appalachian reserve and
that In order to prevent favora'
BILE reports on tlles measures be
purposed to reorganize the COM
mittee on Agriculture. This be
did, leaving, however, one vacan
cy to be filed later. At a recent
dinner in Washington q member
of Congress from New England,
said to the Speaker: "Mr. Speak
er, / would dearly love to dc
something to promote your pres
idential interests in my section,
but it is impossible. Now it has
been generally known that you
are irrevocably opposed to the
White Mountain reserve your
name is like a red rag to a bull
in my neighborhood." "Deal
me" replied the Speaker, ~ had
no idea that your people h a d
that project at heart. Two
days later the Speaker filled the
vacant place on the committee
by naming Representative Weeks
Of Massachusetts,, who is t h G
most ardent advocate OF t b Z
White Mountain reserve in t b {
country. Members are laughing
heartily at Uncle Joe's politics,
and some people are wondering
if the New England public is go.

Hale Amuses With
a Witty Speech

Nathan w Hale. member OF Con-
gress from one Of the Eastern Tennes-
see districts, made a happy little
speech that delighted the assemblage.
There are three reasons why your
seductive congressman, DIT. Burton, has
me with you here tonight. First, be-
cause / am not a speechmaker; second,
because / was the only one Of the few
Southern Republicans he could exhibit
TO you tonight, and third / had ao-
companied him as far as Baltimore be-
fore he told me where / was COINS"
The assemblage laughed.
Then Mr.. Hale said he came from a
Tennessee district that had not elected
Democrat TO Congress in sixty years
"and Burton has brought me here as an
evidence tnat there are Republicans IN
the South"
"As you climb the mountains Of the
South YOU find the most Republicans
at the highest attitudes. My district
Is so high that politics Is all one way
am told that a little higher, Repub-
licans are unanimous. Going In the
other direction you find different po-
litical conditions. The lower you get
the more Democrats you fnd when
Won get down into my friend Hobson

when you get still lower they say the
Democrats are unanimous-well,

JAMES I. GRAY
SUCCEEDS VAUGHN

As was announced yesterday in THE
EVENING JOURNAL. the resignation Of
City Electrician Albert F. Vaughan and
his assistant. Harry NJ. Smith, were hand
ed to the Police Commissioners yesterday
afternoon. Immediately after the reslgna-
tions were accepted. James t. Gray, of
No. 1905 Monroe street, was selected to
I'LL Vaughan's place. No selection Of an
assistant was made, and it is not likely
that this will be done for several days.
The commissioners have nobody in view
for the place as yet.
Mr.. Gray, the new official, Is WELL
known electrician and has been in the
employ Of the Wilmington City Electric
Company and the Postal Telegraph and
Cable Company. He came well recon-
mended to the commission.

Hale said that II the Democrats would
study long and act wisely, Its leaders
would come to Delaware this year and
nominate Judge Gray. "Our only hope
rests in their lack OF wisdom" re-
marked Mr.. Hale, beneath the applause
that followed his reference to Judge
Gray.
Then Mr.. Hale declared himself in
favor Of a strong navy. the early COM
pletion Of the Panama canal a ship
subsidy and an inland waterway. He
made the statement that the race
problem would be settled satisfactorily
by men OF the South
Booms Congressman Burton
Referring TO Congressman Burton,
Mr. Hale said: HE came into Con-
lgress at the time / did and has accom-
lplished much for you, although he Is
not half as ugly as l. He Is a hard
worker and can accomplish as much for
you as any man you can elect tc
succeed him. Put honesty and indus
try together and you win have as goot
"a citizen as can be produced. BurtoI
Is that kind Of a man.
"And, besides, he's a DOCTOR" con
tinued Mr.. Hale. "They know how e
cure as we'll as kill a man, and the,
don't charge any more for one job thar
they do for another (Laughter) Blu
Iabove all he is honest, and that Is th'
kind Of man you want TO represent 70,
I'm Congress. If he isn't honest his face
is a liar"
Mr. Hale said he was a business man
land not a lawyer, and therefore, wal
mot a speechmalxer. Judge Gray replied
that Mr. Hale was another evidence O.

COROVA NOT THE
BLACK HAND MAN
BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Feb. 29.-After a
talk today with Samuel Corova the
alleged black hand man locked up at
headquarters, Detective Atkinson. Of
Baltimore, Nd, who came on to Buff
falo to try to establish some connec-
ton between the prisoner and tho
gang that blew up the home Of Joseph
DiGiorgia, OF Baltimore, said there was
not enough evidence to hold the pris-
oner.
Local Detective Atkinson is on a
hunt for another man suspected of
being in Bufslo. if he is caught they
hope to establish that Corova had
know cgc OF the Baltimore affair. II
is believed Corova is well acquainted
with some of the men under arrest
in Baltimore but his relationship with
the men who 4~'-s - kill Joseph Sun
seri, a Pittsburg fruit dealer is said
to be closer.
