Protest Erom Columbia.

Columbia, S. C., February 3.-The house of representatives today adopted reso- lution requesting South Carolina's repre- sentatives in Congress to do everything in their power to prevent the confrma- ton of W. D. Crum, colored, renominated by the President as collector of the port at Charleston. The resolution states that in the opinion of the house the nomina- ton is an unwise proceeding tending to cause racial friction, and that President Roosevelt with studied intention en- deavoring to humiliate and wound the honorable pride" of the best people of Charleston. is using every effort to have the nomination confirmed by the Senate.

BAD POLICY IN THE CASE
TiIman Reads Article Which Criticises Himself But Which He Says Is All Right on Crum's Ap-
 pointment.

Washington February 3.-Nearly [, four hours were devoted by the Sen ate in executive session today in con sideration of the reappointment of Will liam D. Crum as collector of customs at Charleston, S. c. Confirmation is opposed by Senator Tillman. aided by his democratic colleagues
 Thus far there has been nothing in the proceedings to indicate that there will be a filibuster by the democrats against action although 1t is known there are a number of senators who are ready to speak at length in op- position to Crum. No dilatory motions were made today but Mr. Tillman in- sisted at all times upon the mainten- ance of quorum. The republican sen ators are united in favor of confirm ing Crum in order that MT. Taft may be relieved of the necessity of send ing the nomination of another than Crum to the Senate.
 The debate in the Senate, accord ing to reports which leaked out aft erward, resembled old time min strelsy. Senators Tillman, McLaurin, Money and Johnston told negro dialect stories and kept the Senate in laugh ter throughout the proceedings. Moth ing but the best of humor was dis played. Senator Tillman recounted a number of incidents connected with his various controversies with President Roosevelt.
 An article was read by MT. Till. man criticizing him for his "exnTbi- tOr. af h fv,fc s1,s same article dealt with the negro question and with tie Crum appoint ment in particular declaring that the appointment had been bad policy. Sen ator Tillman said there was no lsve lost between himself and the editor. but that the latter had the correct idea of the Crum appointment.
 At the outset Senator Bacon moved that the doors be re-opened and the consider ation of the Crum nomination be con- tinued in legislative session. He declared the subjects involved in this appointment were too important to be disposed of in secret and that the country should be in- formed of the debate. His motion was put to a vote and defeated on strictly party lines
 The reading of an article, written by MT. Taft, declaring that the south should not be treated as conquered country, was begun by MT. Tillman, but the debate led off into other channels before he had an opportunity to conclude.
 Speeches were made by Senators Carter and Beveridge, commenting on the pros perity of the south and attributing it to republican rule. Senators Tillman and McLaurin combatted the proposition that republican rule had anything to do with 1t and asserted that 1t Was white su- premacy in the south which had accom- plished practically all of the progress.
 It was not decided whether the nomina- tion will again be taken up tomorrow, but it is expected that the fight will be re- stunned at the next executive session.
