LEGISLATURE Of
s. CAROLINA IS
WITH TILLMAN
ADOPTS STRONG RESOLUTION IN
OPPOSITION TO THE CONFIRM
ALTON OF w. D. cRUM AS COL
LEcToR OF cUsTMs AT PORT
OF CHARLESTON.
BY Associated Press.

Columbia, s. c., Feb 4.-That the
legislature of South Carolina, in keep
ing with the expressed sentiment of
the entire white population of the
state, is in full sympathy and accord
with the efforts made by Senator TIL
man to defeat the confirmation Of W.
d. Crum, colored, TO be collector of
resolution unanimously adopted by
the house OF representatives last
night and which will be presented to
the senate today.
The resolutions says in part:
"On the all wise plans of the ere
atOr of the universe, the White or
Caucasian race has been made the SUI
perior of all others and to it is COM
mitted the problems and the destiny
of this great republic.
1T is the black mans or negro's
real best interest that no one of his
race 1saII be raised high in authority
over the white people in ANY COM
muDity.
wv. D. Crum is negro and Pres
ident Roosevelt has again appointed
aim collector of the port OF Charles
ton, the metropolis Of our great state.
and, with studied intention, is endeav-
oring to humiliate and wound the
honorable pride of the best people of
that city.
eve consider it an unfortunate ap-
pointment, one tending to indulge
the hope OF social equality in the
hearts and minds of tae negroes of
our country and a useless and need
less affront to the white citizenship
OF Charleston"

SENATE SPECIAL COMMITTEE
CANNOT GET INFORMATION
DESIRED REGARDING MERGER
OF UNITED STEEL CORPORA
TON AND TENNESSEE COAL
AND IRON COMPANY.
Rv AssocIated Pc.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The special
committee of the senate committee on
judiciary which is investigating the
Tennessee Coal and Iron absorption
by the United States Steel Corpora
ton expects to meet difficulties N
preparing a reply to the senate reso-
luton providing the inquiry. Al
though a number OF bankers who
were supposed to know all about the
details of the purchase of the Tennes-
see Company by the Steel Corporation
have explained to the committee their
participation in the transaction. moth
ing has been brought cut which dis
putes President Roosevelt's conten-
ton that there was nothing proposed
with which he found Il incumbent
upon him to interfere.
The resolution calls upon the COM
mittee to report what was the pTesi-
dents authority for permitting the
merger. Nothing has been found by
the committee which seems to war
rant the president in giving consent
70 the absorption nor anything which
seems TO demand that he should have
forbidden the merger. Some OF the
members OF the committee then dis
cussing the case informally today
suggested that it would have been foI
the president TO advise Judge Gary
and Mr.. Frick to consult their law
yers instead of submitting the propo-
sition to him.
