DON'T SUIT THEM
PRESIDENT ASKED TO WITHDRAW
NOMINATION FROM THE
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2.-President
Roosevelt is to be requested by the
judiciary committee of the senate to
withdraw the nomination of Gros-
yenor Porter to be United States mar
shall of the eastern district of Okla
homa. Porter is a cousin of the Pres
.dent and the judiciary committee
prefers to have him withdraw the
nomination instead of rejecting it In
executive sessions of the senate.
Marshal Porter served in this office
during the territorial government In
Oklahoma and was re-appointed when
it became state. Charges have been
referred against him since his nom
nation was sent to the senate and
1t has been held up pending an inves-
tigation by a subcommittee.
Senators. Gore and Owens both OPP
posed the nomination and announced
that they would make fight for re-
lection IL the nomination was reported
'favorsbir. AS the traditions OF the
senate call for a rejection whenever
senators from the state declare them
to be personally Objectionable, 1t was
though best to ask the President to
recall the nomination.

Mr.. Clark Goes After Assistant

missioner of labor conditions in the
turpentine camps, plantations and
other industries of the South, espe-
cially the existence of peonage, is pro
vided for in a resolution passed by the
House today under suspension Of the
rules.
Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi, said
the circulation abroad of stories re-
garding peonage had done harm to
the South, and he desired an investi-
CATION by an impartial body. In re-
ply to a question by Mr.. Mann, Of
Illinois, he said he believed that
stories had been put out by labor
agents in New York in order to divert
immigrants to other sections Of the
country. Mr.. Humphreys, of Missis-
sippi, supported the resolution.
Mr. Clark, of Florida, bitterly at
tackled the Department of Justice In
with its prosecutions for
peoEage He declared that the State
of Florida was prepared to answer the
accounts "of 'peonage,' slavery" in
voluntary servitude brutal and in
human treatment Of laborers,' and
other publications which smell Of the
Sums and in some of the most re-
markable documents emanating in
the Department of Justice in the Uni

absolutely false in all essential par
ticulars The people of Florida, he
asserted, courted the fullest investi-
cation of a matter which had been OF
So much injurE 10 the fair name of

ordeal of investigation without the
smell of fire upon their garments, and,
in spite of the batteries of SANDER
which for the past year have been
belching their infamous 'slum-begot-
ten fabrications."

RING REBUKED

HOT SHOT AT STATE COMMIT.
TEE BY DEMOCRATS or s
COUNTIES.
OLD WAR HORSES TAKE PART
And Speak In No Uncertain Language
Their Opinion Of Bogus
Primary.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. March 3.-The
action of the democratic state execu-
tive committee in calling a bogus pri-
mary received a singing reprimand
from the democrats of half a dozen
counties in the state yesterday.
Mass meetings were held at Shelby
vile, Manchester, Covington, Colum-
bia and Centreville. at which the In
dignation of the democratic masses
was expressed in no uncertain terms.
All the meetings seem to have been
largely attended and the feeling Of
the people was plain. 1t begins to
appear as If after all there was some
real sentiment behind the petitions Of
the 1900 committeeman in the state,
who asked the state committee for a
direct primary.
The meetings at each and every
place were attended by representative
citizens, men who have always sup
ported the democratic ticket, and cam
not be called sore-heads or boilers.
They desired to let the COMMITTEES
know, it seems, that 1t could not ig-
more the wide-expressed wishes OF
the democracy OF the state and es-
cape the condemnation to be expected.
At Covington, the mass meeting,
which Is said to have been the largest
ever held in that town, was led by
such old-time leaders as Col. N. w.
Baptist, John A. Tiuton, S. J. Smith
and " Kimbrough.
centreviIIe Meeting. ~
At Centreville, the mass meeting
was led by such stalwart democrats
and as true as ever voted the ticket
as James B. Walker, one of the most
popular and wealthiest men in the
county, president of the Centreville
National Bank; s. G. Carothers, for
many years chairman Of the Demo-
cratic executive committee; Walter
S. Nunnelly, another prominent and
popular citizen; Douglas T. Bates, /.
A. Parker, DR.. A. H. Grigsby and
others.
At Manchester, Chas. P. Wilson, ed
itor Of the News, of that place, took
the lead, assisted by T. B. Bashaw.
Down at Columbia, that old war
horse OF democracy, Col. w. J. Whit
thorne, whose family has occupied
lofty seats in democratic councils for
over half century, took the lead,
ably backed by Col e. H. Hatcher,
and former trustee, James H. Kan
non. s
In Shelbyville, E. Shapard, T. N.
Greer, Robert Gallagher, ]. H. Walker,
John H. Woodland, e. E. Dean and b.
L. Steele were to the front, as usual,
and framed the resolutions which rep
resented the sentiments Of the democ.
racy of Bedford.
The sentiment seemed TO be unani-
nous everywhere; only at Columbia
did one member of the county execu-
tive committee vote against the reso-
lutions to condemn.

interstate Commerce Commission Re
fuses the Petitions Of the
Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2.-The inter,
state commerce commission today by
a unanimous vote decided to deny all
petitions for an extension of time
within which to comply with the so
called hours of service law. The rea-
sons OF the commission for its action
VIII be stated In an opinion now in
course of preparation which will be
announced within a few days.
The hours of service law" applies
to railroad tefegraphers. 1t provides
that this class of employees shall not
be permitted to work more than nine
hours in a twenty-four hours period.
The law becomes effective on March 4.
Railroad managers have insisted
that a literal enforcement of this
statute would add tremendously to
the cost of operation. The commits
sion was petitioned to extend the time
within which it should be complied
with. 1t has been decided that the
commission has no discretion, but to
enforce the law; that It can make ex-
ceptions only in particular cases after
due hearing.
The commission has been advised
that the railroads will close up thou
sands of stations along their lines on
March T.. when the law goes into ef-
feet.

his hand the smoke that curls up from
1t Is blue. Are any boys and girls close
enough observers TO have noticed that?
And IL they have, do they know the
reason? 1t Is this: The particles that
compose the smoke that comes from
the mouth are coarser than those from
the end of the cigar. But what. you
may ask, has the flnencss OF the par
ticles TO do with It? This: Blue waves
Of light are the shortest OF all the COL

catch and reflect those waves. When
the smoke Is drawn through the cigar
It takes up coarser PARTICLES. and when
II is thrown out OF the mouth those
coarser particles reflect all the light
waves, thus producing OH our eyes the
sensation OF white. The blue tint of
