Calls Him a
Coward
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IL.
In a characteristic speech Sen
ator Benjamin Tillman today re-
piled to the charges of President
Roosevelt that he had participated
in a land grab in Oregon.
. Accusing the president of max
ing false statements, of cowardice
and of using the secret service
agents in violation of the law, the
fiery statesman from South Caro-
lima gave a lengthy explanation
of his connection with land deals
in the west, admitting certain
things charged by the president
and vigorously denying others.
Opening his address, which held
the attention of his colleagues for
several minutes, Senator Tillman
said:
"The president prepared his In
dictment with consummate skill.
He was cunning in his apparent
innocent pretence of searching,
with the aid of secret service, for
one kind of criminal and running
down another.
Questions Honesty.
4 Mark you, he has had in his
possession all the facts in this
case since July last. If the presi-
dent is real honest in his purpose

she did not make them know be-
lore this day."
u The senator admitted the au-
4 henticity of letters attached to
he presidents letter giving a re-
jew Of the senator's alleged con-
ection with the land grab.

IN BAD HOLE.

The big receiving tank of the
gas company exploded Saturday
night at $3.50, leving the city en-
tirely without illuminating gas.
The company has only an inferior
little emergency tank and was
absolutely unable to cope with
the accident.
Since the explosion the gas
company has had gang of work
men busy but there was little i'm
provement in the gas today and
citizens were complaining on all
sides. At the city hall many
disguised gas users appeared
making application for electric
lights.
Newspapers were perhaps the
heaviest suffers owing to the gas
company's lack of an emergency
plant. The typesetting machines
which. operate with gas burners,
were all tied up until oil burn

ROOT UNFIT
FOR TIE
BENCH
BAR ASSOCIATION MAKES RE-
PORT SEVERELY CONDEMN
ING FORMER JUSTICE OF
SUPREME COURT.

Unfit for the bench, guilty OF
accepting railway passes, of writ
ing concerning money to the rail-
way attorney, of handing down
a decision in a suit against the
Great Northern railway written
by it's attorney, and under sufft-
cient suspicion of corruption to
warrant an investigation by a
grand jury, is the gist of the find
ing on Judge Milo A. Root Of the
supreme court by the committee
of. the State Bar association.
Urging the calling of a grand
jury at Spokane to investigate
charges of bribery and corrup
tion, the committee has not made
public all 1t discovered, believing
some things should be kept for
the convening of this grand jury.
But 1t has made public enough
to show the charges made against
Judge Root were not unfounded.
Written by Gordon.
In the Harris case it discover
ed that he did in fact hand down
a decision which was written by
Judge Gordon, attorney for the
Great Northern company. The
committee terms this a "gross
breach of judicial and profession
al propriety," which renders him
unfit to occupy a position on the
bench"
The report also finds that Judge
Root had correspondence with
Judge Gordon with reference to ii
money transaction, and that
through Gordon Root accepted
railway passes from the Great
Northern and other railways.
The committee said 1t had not
found any facts indicating bribery
or corruption or the charge that
advance information was given
out before decisions were render
ed. 1t, however, asks that Spo-
kane call a grand jury to inves-
tigate the charges of corruption
and bribery and following its re-
port further action may be taken

THREE ELEMENTS

Every growing. ambitious town
is composed of three elements:
Those who work patriotically, Wig
orously and intelligently for its
advancement; those who are in
state of apathy or indifference and
those who take a curious delight
in discouraging the efforts OF othsrs
by ridicule and by psrsistant dc.
nial that any progress can or hss
been accomplished, and boast Of
every other town but their own,
The last class are called croakers
but they are really something
worse, for their opposition does not
arise simply from dependency but
from that unenviable spirit that
neither acts itself or suffers others
to act.
