tend from Tennessee to Texas.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 5.-Death for
probably a score OF persons, losses of
hundreds of thousands Of dollars in
property and the crippling Of many
telegraph wires resulted between noon
ana dusk today from series of small
tornadoes, which swept the South
Central States from the Tennessee line
to the Texas Panhandle. The storms
were accompanied in most cases by
hail, darkness, terrific lightning
flashes and sheets OF rain.
Most Of the towns where loss of life
occurred are off the railroads, SO that
news from them has been coming in

THE CRUM NOMINATION.
Democratic Senators Determined ia

Washington, Feb. 5.--Another long
session over the nomination OF VIM.
ID. Crum, the negro collector of Gus
toms at Charleston, s. c., who was re-
appointed by President Roosevelt, was
held by the senate today. and no vote
was reached.
Just before adjournment the Demo-
cratic members made it clear that
they did not intend that the appoint
rnent should be voted upon at the
present session.
Senator Tillman continued his read
ing of President Taft's recent
speech at Atlanta, where he discussed
the race question. Mr.. Tillman would
read few paragraphs, often only a
few sentences, and then comment at
length concerning Mr.. Taft's express
sions. He told many anecdotes, and
In this entertainment was aided by
Senator Johnston and others. Among
the Republicans who spoke were Sen
ators Smith. of Michigan; Dixon and
Heveridge. The debate was confined
to a discussion of the race question
In which Crum's qualifications did no.
enter to any marked degree.

CENSUS BILL FIGHT.
President Roosevelt Making q Graufx
Stand Play Against Congress anlr
Spoils System.

Washington, Feb. SIT is believed
that an attempt will be made by Con-
gress to pass over the Presidents veto
the Census Bill which the President
regards as a measure looking to-
ward the return of the spoils system.
Just as quietly and as adroitly as DOS
sible clause was slipped into the bnR
which provides that three thousand
census enumerators and clerks for the
coming demonstrating of the country
should be appointed outside of the
Civil service and Mr. Roosevelt. who
is blatant civil service advocate fs
determined to balk at thar
ciause and veto the entire
bill. Congress so jealous of its
lately crippled prerogatives de-
clares here and there, that il will pas.
the bill anyway and there is promsse.
OF an exciting contest when 1t comes.
to the point of raising the two-thirds.
vote of that. body, which will be-
necessary to pass it over his Veto.
Congress, Of course, has something
more than the vindication of its dig
nifty in mind in this matter. Three.
thousand places ready made into
which hungry constituents NAV be
slipped without civil service qualif-
ton and its requirements is guSre~ ~

strange that our Representatives
should be inclined to reserve the oriv-
ilege of dipping into it for themselves

cult If not impossible to fiji these.
places under the Civil service since the
appointments are temporary and WIFE
last for only two years. but the
President will not lose sleep over that
contingency. AS matter of fact III
the appointments were only for a.
month there would be hundreds or
applicants for each place and a two.
years job at Government pay is at
tractive enough to bring out at least
ten times as many aspirants to IL as
can possibly be required. ADoahez-
Objectionable clause in the bill which,
the President may be trusted not to-
overlook provides that the printing
OF the census reports shall be done
outside of the Government Printing
Office. which means some more f,,fcv
plums for Congress to distribute. But
the President doesn't propose TO let
elther or these propositions slip
through over his signature and a live
ly fight is expected.

WOULD CURB SENATORS.
Vice President Has Rules to Stop At
tacks ON President.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Twc striking
amendments to the senate rules, both
OF which were prepared by Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks. were introduced In
the senate today by Mr.. Lodge, and
were referred to the committee on
rules. Their effect is to prevent o
senator from referring extensively to
either the president OF the United
States. the courts or the house Of rep
resentatives. and to put an end to the
reading Of documents which have no
bearing upon subjects under discus
sion where the reading is for the sole
purpose Of advancing a filibuster.
The proposed rules are as follows:
When the reading Of a paper Is
called for and objected to. or when
the reading Of paper by a senator
liz objected to. such objection shall be
determined by e. vote Of the senate
without debate.
''No senator In debate shall refer
extensively to either of the other CO.
ordinate departments OF the govern
raent or to the other branch of the
congress" ,@
