TILLMAN REPLIES
THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
MAKES STATEMENT REGARD
ING ALLEGED LAND GRAB.
GALLERIES were CROWDED
Declares His Purpose Later in the
Session to Devote Some
Time to "shOwIng Up"
the President.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Greeted BY
applause from the galleries when he
entered the senate chamber Monday
to reply to President Roosevelt's
charges in respect to his connection
with Oregon timber land transactions,
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
read his prepared remarks with little
attempt at oratorical effect. He was
accorded careful attention by senators
on both sides of the chamber, the pub
&c and private galleries being taxed
to their full capacity by visitors who
occupied all the seats and standirg
room, while without the entrances
long lines Of men and women unable
to gain admission stood for nearly
three hours vainly hoping to enter
the galleries.
In addition to his speech, which had
been printed In advance, Mr.. Tillman
had prepared other brief remarks
which he read.
"The president lives in glass
house with even glass floor In 1t and
should remember the old adage. He
has exerted all the power Of govern
ment to destroy me, but i feel that |
stand unscathed, because II all other
arguments fail to convince men, the
character for rectitude, truthfulness
and honesty which l have builded In
81 years Of my life would at least be
nv bulwark. Men who have always
been clean and honorable do not sud
denly become liars and hypocrites at
81 without any necessity.
Later in this session 1t is my pur-
pose to devote some time to bring
Theodore Roosevelt face to face with
his true self and let the people Of the
United States see what character Of
man they have been so bowed down
to-"
When Mr.. Tillmsn concluded his
remarks there was no more applause,
he vice president having admonished
the occupants of the galleries against
making such demonstrations. MI
TiIlman was congratulated by q mum
Der Of Democratic senators.

Special correspoudence 20 The Press

Special Correspondence 20 The Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE day is
coming when a negro will be the
president of the United States,
when negroes will control the arts
and sciences, and white people and
negroes will have exchanged places
in the social and industrial world.
This is the belief of scientists of
the American Anthropological So
ciety, as expressed by DR.. F. w.
Culver, himself a famous scientist.
He startled delegates to the con-
gress of physicians and surgeons
here by making this remarkable an
nouncement, and giving the sup
porting reasons.
Striking evi6 cnce of a change in
racial standing is already under
way, says DR.. Culver.
He insists that white children are
pCSoDIllE uC6CIl dlS, WillC hC6lo
children are regenerate.
In proof of his statement he ex-
hibited photographs of white chill
dren of the southern cotton mills
and central states coal mines as
the most pronounced types of de-
generates. Photographs of hand
some mulatto, octoroon and sex
toon children, with high foreheads
and orbust physiques, were shown
as proof of the physical and mental
regeneration of the negroes.
DR.. Culver also declares that the
amalgamation of the races with the
consequent production of a hybrid
race similar to that of Cuba and
other Latin American countries is
probable in the south, and that if
the relative increase in the birth
rate of negroes and the contrasting
decrease in the births of Caucas-
ians continue, the consequence
within a few decades will be a pre-
ponderance of negroes and hybrids
and the numerical inferiority of the
whites.
He says that the fusion of whites
and blacks is becoming more rapid
as result of a tendency today to
break down the barriers of social
classes.
Significant evidence of the dis
appearance of race prejudice has
been offered says DR.. Culver, "in
the appearance in Rome of negress
nuns, the decision of the American
Catholic Missionary society to ad-
NIT negroes to full eligibility to the
clergy in Cuba and elsewhere, and
the growing intermarriage of white
girls with Chinese, Japanese and
negroes"

LAWYERS OUGHT
TO KNOW A
LITTLE
Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 11.-Practicing
attorneys ought to have as much
book knowledge as the ordinary II
year old high school graduate, ac-
cording to a committee of the state
bar association, which is here lob
bying for a new BILL
The committee consists of Chair
man J. M. Gerhard and John T..
Condor, both of Seattle. They want
the law to provide that no one can
be admitted to practice law who
has not an education equal toathat
of a high school graduate, and also
to require applicants to make a
specific showing of good moral
character. Especially to show, If
they come from other states, that
they have never been disbarred nor
convicted of any crime involving
moral turpitude.
1t is also suggested the Oregon
law be adopted where a lawyer
from another state seeks admis-
sion here, he be given only tenn
orary license until they can look up
his record to see whether he has
been disbarred or imprisoned.

SHE CRIED FOR
MORE COIN
BUT COLLEGE PROFESSOR
COULDN'T PRODUCE IT, SHE
QUIT HIM, HE QUIT HIS
CHAIR, AND FINALLY GETS
DIVORCE.
- SlWEHUIDU

Once a professor in the univer-
sity of Chicago, now filing an
humble clerkship in the Office of
the Great Northern in Spokane3
such is the fate of Leon Liebard,
who attributes his troubles to his
wife, from whom he has been
granted a decree of divorce by
Judge Sullivan. On the witness
stand Liebard told the court that
he had drawn good salary at the
university, where he filled the
chair of physiology, but his earn
ings were not ample to supply the
demands of his wife, whose con.
slant cry was for more money.
Finally she left him for good, and
he, feeling keenly the humiliation
of his position, resigned his posi-
ton with the university and came
west
Professor Liebard made a favor
able impression on the court, who
granted the divorce without delay.
AS a rule Judge Sullivan is little
chary of husbands who are aban-
doned by wives living in the east,
but inquiries in the case of Pro-
fessor Eiebard corroborated his
story and fully satisfied the court.

ENGLAND ON TRIAL FOR
ATROC|OUS WORLD CRIME

from the revenues derived from
the unholy opium farms leased to
Chinese by the British government.
The present session of the opium
commission is a partial fulfillment
of prohphecy made by Gladstone
nearly 80 years ago, when advocat-
ing a prohibition of the traffic, he
stated that if England continued
this crime against humanity she
would reach the day when its ex-
piation would result in the loss OF
her eastern possessions.
Many students of the eastern sit
uation who have followed the trend
of the wrold crusade against opium
think that the entire fulfillment of
this prophecy is at hand.
1t is owing to the embarrassing
position in which England is
placed that the commission meets
only in executive sessions and it's
findings are reported direct to the
governments represented.
Bishop Brent of Manila and DR..
Hamilton Wright of the American
delegation are recognized as two
of the most forceful members of
the commission.

TO BAR BOYS
FROM MINES
Especial to The Press.)


OLYMPIA, Feb. 11.-No Is year
old boys may be employed in the
coal mines of Washington IL Dave
Betting, the state mine inspector,
has his way with the legislature.
Dave is here and he has a num-
Der of protective measures be is
seeking to have enacted in law.
One is to amend law which now
permits boys of IA and more to
work underground to make the
minimum age 16 years.
Another is to require guide posts
put up in all the workings to indi-
cate the way out for the benefit of
new employees in case of accident.
Then he wants law to compel
the use of magnetic lock lamps in
stead of the key lock. The former
cannot be opened and thus will pre-
vent the injury from the igniting of
explosive gas.
Dave wants the air tested in tne
mines every week and a permanent
record kept so blame may be placed
if foul gases accumulate.
And finally he wants a commits
sion of five to frame a new mining
code. And he wants on this COM
mission, not a bunch of lawyers or
politicians, but one practical mine
engineer, one mine operator, two
underground miners and the state
mine inspector.
