II . n /. L u r.
senator Bacon has called the attep,
ton 81 The Senate 70 TIE evident a.
ltentl6n Of President Roosevelt to die
tate legislation. He told Of the re-
ported conference at the White House
OF Republican leaders and railroad
men to consider legislation amending
the antitrust law by permitting raA-
roads 10 pool and corporations to COM
bine, and exemptins labor organiza-
lions from the operations Of the
Sherman antitrust law. "As | have
not seen this statement disputed"
continued Mr.. Bacon, Il have no doubt
that the President has decided for
you that you shall not adjourn this
Congress until you have passed the
measures he has mapped out for you"
Senator Bacon did not appear to
dIsapprove OF legislation proposed by
the White House conference, but
thinks that executive encroachment
upon the power OF the legislative
brench OF the Government should be
limited to recommendation as pro
vided in the constitution. AS no Re-
publican Senator defended these
White House conferences, the infer.
ence Is they ali agreed with Senator
Bacon. Senator Tillman Joined in
the debate by inquiring:
Doesn't the Senator think that the
conference at the White House. at
which the captains Of industry were
invited to be present, was intended
to line these captains up for the re-
nomination Of the President, or his
pet candidate IN view of the APP
preach Of the Chicago convention?"
To that Senator Bacon replied. II
have no right 10 express an opinion"
The feeling in the House OF Repre- |
sentatives OF the Republican leaders
d said to he similar about executive
iictation as In the Senate, but no one
ret has had the pluck 10 express his
opinion.

Washington, March -(Special) )-When William J. Bryan arrived in Washingon at noon today he was boiling over with indignation at what he declared to be complete misrepresentation of the re- ports made by him at Richmond, Va, last night. Mr Bryan referred especially to that portion of his speech which dealt with the recent decision of the United States supreme court in connection with the Minnesota and North Carolina rail- road cases.
 'The language of the dispatches" said Mir Bryan was twisted as badly as 1t Is possible to twist it. and misrepresented me as completely as it is possible to misrepre- sent me. It purports to give what I said at Richmond regarding the supreme court decision and attributes to me the lan- guage of the papers supporting predatory wealth.
 q said that these papers regarded the decision as making property more secure and rescuing vested interests from peril as if states were less interested than the federal govefnemnt in the protection of property and vested interests.
 'I then proceeded to assert that prop erty rights are as secure under state legis- lation as under national legislation, and as secure under state courts as under federal courts. l pointed out the issues

JAPAN BORROWING
 AT STEVENS DEATH
High Officials the Flowey Kingdom Are Filled With Grief the News That Stevens Succumbs to Wounds Inflicted by the Corean--Work of the Dipomatst in Japan and
 Corea Has Left Lasting Impression

Tokio, March 27-News of the death of Durham White Stevens in San Francisco reached Tokio at 10 o'clock last night and was made known only to few per sons, who received their information from the Associated Press. Prince sIto later re- ceived dispatches confirming the news. The utmost grief is expressed by every one. American ambassador O'Brien said to the Associated Press reporter that his sorrow was most sincere. He regarded MT Stevens as true, useful friend. Considering the unobtrusive character of MT. Stevens, the widespread concern re- garding the tragedy is remarkable. It is safe to predict that when the news of his death is published it will arouse in tense indignation in all circles. None are more outspoken than the missionaries, especially Americans acquainted in Co., req, who regarded Mr. Stevens as their most active friend. One of his last acts before leaving Japan was to secure a subscription of s50O0 for the Young Mems Christian association in Seoul. MT. Ste vens was a loyal American He firmly believed that cementing the relations of
  creasing the influence of America in the far east; insure peace and benefit Japan. During the recent immigration negotia tions he yielded great influence. He ad- vocated the complete stoppage of Japan csc immigration, and urged the adoption of most stringent regulation. He pressed these views, which ultimately were accepted.
 Mr Stevens also was consistent friend of Japan. He believed that tie control of Corea by Japan, without actual an- nexation, would mean finally the reclama- ton of the country from the consequences of generations of corruption. He bitterly opposed all clements connected with the old Corean regime, who advocated it's continuance and expressed his views in this connection openly, whether against foreigners, Coreans CT Japanese.

which had been obscured by these papers and also the false issues which had been raised; and the question was not whether property rights should be protected, but whether corporations should be given rights superior to those of the natural man.
 "A corporation organized in New Jer- sey can go into another state, secure main, build railroads and rely on the state courts to protect 1t from trespass and to protect It's operatives from vio- lence, using the state courts as far as 1t wishes. They can drag their litigation into the United States courts and ask the federal courts to suspend state laws, even before these laws have been de- clared unconstitutional
 "I consider the position taken by the democrats of the House, as stated by Mir. Williams, that they would oppose unanimous consent until the House gives time for consideration of the Clayton or some similar bill to withdraw from the circuit and district courts of the United States the power to suspend state laws, thus leaving the corporations to prosecute in courts with the right of appealing to the United States court. l am glad to make this correction, because I am afraid that the dispatches sent out last night would go all over the country as an expression of my views, while. as a matter of fact, they are a mlsrepresent- ation of my views w. $.

One of the principal purposes of his visit to Washington at this time was to place his views before the American gov ernment and people. and to controvert the statements of the organized anti Japanese propaganda in America.
 MT. Stevens carried with him much val uable information and many documents to prove the case he intended to present.
 Washington, March 26.-Widely known ss diplomatist who had won distinction both at Washington and at Seoul Dur ham White Stevens, whose death occurred at San Francisco late last night. was re- turning to his home here for vacation of about fortnight. Mir. Stevens had lived hero for many years. One ot his sisters Mrs. Joseph l. Porter, wife of the assistant superintendent of railway ad- iustment In the postoffice department, IS lying Ill at her home here as the result of the shock caused by the shooting of her brother last Monday. Mr. Porter Is now hurrying to San Francisco.
 MT. Stevens for 10 years, until lSS5 served as secretary of the Americanfle- gation at TolSio. He then entere1 the Japanese diplomatic service, rendering cf- fective work in the Tokio foreign office in the Japanese legation here, in Hawaii as a Japanese agent and in Corea, where he first went in 1884 to adjust differences then threatening war between China and Japan, and returned there in December, 1904, nof,,inally as diplomatic adviser to the Corean government under protocol concluded between Japan and Corea, but really as counsellor of Japan In that governmentsg ,S toward Corea.

EVANS FACTION HOLDS
 ANOTHER CONVENTION

Nashville, March 26.-Designating them- selves as the regular state convention, a number of republicans assembled at the capitol today and instructed for William H. Taft for president, indorsed H. Clay Evans for vice president and named Con- gressman N. w. Hale for national com- mitteeman. T. w. Wade of Smithville was nominated for supreme judge and the following delegates at large to the ns- tional convention were selected:
 E. w. Essary of Henderson county, R. A. Haggard of Wayne county, w. H. Ruttrum of Scott county and Newell Sanders of Hamilton county.
 Electors for the state at large are s. R. Sells of Washington county and J. w. Fowlkes of Humphreys county.
 The convention was called to order by Newell Sanders, chairman of the state executive committee. and H. Clay Evans was chairman of the permanent organiza- ton. The proceedings lacked the dis Crder which marked the convention of yesterday, which later was taken charge of by the Brownlow-O -OiverAustin element after stirring times. Speakers grew feryid,

JUDGE BLACKSTONE REMOVED. Successor Will at Once Be Chosen By
 the Assembly.

Richmond, Va, March 26.-The gen. eral assembly of Virginia today adopted a resolution removing Judge J. w. C. Blackstone of the Eleventh circuit from office. The grounds upon which this action was based are immortality and gross neglect of official duty. There was but one dissenting vote in each branch. Removal was the outcome after long and rather sensational in- Nestigation.
 The successor of the deposed judge will be chosen tomorrow and the legis- lature will then adjourn.
 Judge Blackstone, who had declared he would fight the proceeding to the st point possible, declined to say to- night what course he would pursue, but it is believed he will carry tho matter to the supreme court on quo Warranto proceedinEs

 The greatest crowd was at the Fiftn avenue branch, opposite the Waldorf Astoria. A number of fashionabiy y dressed women were there. waiting for the bank to open, and sh ortly aft q: room there was a small procession of victorias and broughams driving up to the doors. These were society women who had had accounts at the Thirty fourth street branch and were with drawing the 10 per cent of their de- posits.

MORE PRAISE FOR
 AEFLIN'S SPEECH

Washington, March 2s.-(Special. )-Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri said today that the speech of Congressman Hefiin on cot ton and gambling in cotton futures and the speech of Congressman Lever of South Carolina on agriculture were the best speeches that have been made in the Six tieth Congress. MT. Hefin is being con- graduated not only upon his speech, but upon the vindication of his position on the cotton crop estimated for 1907.
 Mir. Hehin charged the agricultural de- partment with overestimating the crop, and the last census report shows that he was correct, and that the government estimate of the crop of 1907 was in round numbers 100000 bales too much.

however, in condemnation of the hap jennings of the first gathering.
 The resolutions adopted today also in- dorse the administration of President Roosevelt. As to the tariff they say:
 We favor the policy of a tariff for protection to Americas rapidly develop lnent resources; we believe in revision of the schedules, and that such revision should be done by the friends of protee- ton, a republican Congress, having in view always the protection of the pro- ducers of our land, the laborer and the farmer"
 Some confusion exists in regard to the action of the Brownlow convention yes- tcrday in the matter of instructions. While excitement ran high w. l.. Davis of Clai- torne waved a bundle of papers above his head, announcing that they were the resolutions and moving their adoption. The motion carried without the reading of the papers. The resolutions as made pub lie later instructed for William H. Taft for president.
 Also during these same proceedings Of yesterday a motion was adopted and car- rled that the delegation to the convention 20 unnstructed. The situation has not been explained and there are claims both ways.
