CONDEMNS SCHEME
OF DISTRICT RULE
DR.. Curtis, Former Play
ground Head, Says Local
Affairs Block Congress.

That the petty annoyanCes of District
affairs upon which Congress must act
clogs the wheels OF national legislation,
that Congress has not the time. the
special knowledge, or the interest to
legislate intelligently for the District.
and that the residents of Washington
lose an inherent right when they are
deprived Of the civic educatiOn Of the
ballot, are some Of the charges on
which DR. Henry s. Curtis, formerly
supervisor Of Fairgrounds I'm the Dis
trict. arraigns the local form OF zoN--

Or. Curtis has had some personal ex-
erience with Congress, having tried IN
vain TO secure large appropriation for

They have resented a District post

THE CLANSMAN
PATRIOTIC PLAY

The author of The Clansman" may
well adapt Fletcher of Saltouns motto
and say that he would rather make a
nations dramas than it's laws. One
effect of this celebrated play, which
will be presented next Saturday,
March at the Grand Opera House,
has been to make the South conscious
of its own greatness. In the mirror
OF the Stage men and women of South
ern descent view the deeds of their
fathers during the Reconstruction
period, and they are proud of the rec
ord. The heritage is a precious one
how precious many did not realize
until The Clansman" came. The
peace and prosperity of the present
are founded on the heroic labors of the
Ku Klux Khan and the other secret
organizations that resisted the iniuui-
tous measures by which it was sought
to reduce the South into a mongrel
satrapy. The Clansman' pictures

Without the consent of the admin

sence of thirteen senators the Cen
eral Assembly on Wednesday after
noon elected the above officers.
The action came as a distinct surprise
to the Patterson supporters, who were
not aware of the card up the sleeve
Of the state-widers.
Called To Order.
When the joint convention had been
called to order by President Kinney,
representative Messick moved that
the roll call be dispensed with
but a point of order, raised by Repre-
sentative Puryear, that a roll call was
necessary, was sustained by the speak
er, and the rolls were called.
The roll call of the senate showed
twenty members of>that body present.
The house roll call showed ninety
four members present, those refusing
to respond tN'to - lanes being re-
corded as present.
Senator Holiday moved that the
Joint convention go into the election
of state treasurer, state comp
iroler and members of the state
board of elections and of the state
boards of primary commissioners.
Representative Dixon made the fol-
lowing point of order, which was or
dered spread upon the journals OF the
senate and house at his request:
Point of Order.

sgecial TO The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March A.
The legislative sensations came to-
day in the house, the only thing oc-
curring in the Senate being just one
IIirle mild question Of personal priv
nege.
In the House there were three ques-
tons of personal privileges, two mild
and one red hot. Mr.. Poston grew
so fierce and bold that he talked OF
arming himself He was so mad that
he said some real ugly things, but his
wrath like his protest soon worked
itself into a FRAGILE.
In the House a resolution was adop-
ted providing for a recess from Satur-
dav. March 6 to Monday, March 2s.
1t is expected that the Senate will be
in position to act on the resolution
before the end of the week.
The following bills among others
were introduced; to put privilege on
the business Of signing appearance
and bail bonds; regulating banks and
protecting depositors by creating a
guarantee fund; to abolish the court
4 of Civil Appeals; providing for a ses-
sion of the legislature once in four
years; making Office of sheriff four
years; providing for the election OF
all state officers on the same way.
With the exception of Mr. Holla-
days question of personal privilege
the session of the Senate was devoid
of any features ond was a quiet affair
compared with some of the sessions
of this body during the past few days,
it being the exception when a session
Of the Tennessee Senate these days
does not develop somthlng OF a more
or less sensational nature.
