BEGINS FIGHT
Against the Confirmation Of
Crum as Port Collector.
TILLMAN The LEADER

And He Hopes to Prevent the Con.
irmation of Crum by the Senate
and Force President-Elect aft to
Select Some One Else in His
Stead.
Washington, Feb. 2.-The Senate
spent all of this afternoon in eX-
executive session, and if the accounts
that have leaked out are correct,
Senator Tillman will probably give
the Republican members of that
body much trouble over the confir-
nation of w. D. Crum, as collector
for the port of Charleston, before
the present session ends.
According to what is said, the ses-
sion was devoted not alone to the
question of negroes, but also to
Chinese and Japanese.
Senators Bacon and McLaurin as
sisted Senator Tillman by discussing
at length the present day question
of the treatment of Japanese in Cali
fornia, and this led into a still fur
Their discussion of the Chinese, al
of which was brought out to help II
the "fllibuster" that Senator Till
man has inaugurated against Crum
| With the help of the two Senator:
named he was able to at least keel
the matter down today, and it i!
understood that from this time OF
he will be assisted by practically al
the Democrats in the Senate. AL
though he was called down by thu
| application of the Senate rules, HI
was able to beat off Senator Fry
| and others who are clamoring TO,
| Crum's confirmation. The pitchforl
was brandished considerably, it j
said, and after several hours spen
in an unsuccessful attempt to pu
Crum through, the executive Ses
sion came to an end with Senate
Tillman so far the victor.
There is not the least doubt nov
that a first class "fllibuster' is OH
and that if Senator Tilman does no
overdo himself in the attempt t.
hold off Crum's nomination, h
will eventually be usccessful.
Today's developments have give
hope to those who have been fol
lowing the case that the matter vii
go over, and that the efforts now be
ing made to force Crum on the PEG
pie of Charleston for another teri
will come to and end with the Roose
welt administration.
Executive sessions are secret, an
those Senators who take part in tn
deliberations generally decline to tel
what takes place, but those who wer,
on the outside today are firmly con
vinced that Senator Tillman mean
business, and that if he continues t.
like the negro, the japanese an
the Chinese question together in or
der to kill time he will eventual,
win ont in the effort to defeat Crum

He Is Supposed to Have Been
Drowned.

Savannah, Ca, Feb. 2.-The find
ing of the half wrecked and waite
filled naphtha launch, Daisy, OF
Beaufort, on the sand of Bay Point
Beach leads the friends of her own
err, William G. Graves, a prosperous
planter of Barry's Landing, South
Carolina, to believe that he met his
death in the Atlantic ocean some
where between the mouth of the
Savannah river and his home, or
reached land safely in his half
swamped boat only to freeze to
death afterwards.
Graves left Savannah Friday af-
ternoon for his home and put out
towards the sea, regardless of the
storm signals that were flying here.
He was last seen going down the
Savannah river. The steamer Cliff

Bay Point Beach, but no trace of
her owner. His family had sent

Of coast from here to where his

A CUP MYSTERY.

There is possibility of H. M. Quinn
and En- Sue running a hundred yards
at the Boys Field tomorrow afternoon.
DR.. Hand has the matter in hanu
and if the race comes off it should be
well worth witnessing.
There appears to be mistake with
regard to the statement in this morn
ing's Advertiser that a local news
paperman had offered a $25 cup for the
race.
The individual in question on being
spoken to about the matter this morn
ing stated that he was entirely in the
dark as to any such offer having been
made and thinks that he has been con-
fused with Mr.. Jack Densham, whose
name appears in the official list of au-
thorized staff writers of the Adver-

the strong opposition of Assistant City

too short notice to the prosecution.
The hearing was set for o'clock this
afternoon. Dr. Peterson, superinten-
dent of the asylum, answering the
courts remark that he would expect
DR.. Atcherley to be treated as a guest,
not as a patient, pending the proceed
ings, said that as Atcherley had been
regularly adjudged insane he was fore
ed to take the usual precautions but
added that DR.. Atcherley would be
treated with every consideration. Judge
Robinson denied Mr.. Magoon's request
that Mrs. Atcherley accompany her
husband in the asylum.
