.CRUM HAS RESIGNED
Negro Collector at Charleston
5. G., Retires Voluntarily.
SAVES TAFT EMBARRASSMENT
DR., Crum Says That No Pressure Was
Brought 70 Bear Upon Him TO
Cause Him 10 Resign.

Charleston, s.. CT With the resig-
nation OF Dr.. William u. Crum, as
collector Of customs at this port, the
resignation taking effect March 4, a
situation which threatened to cause
President-elect Taft considerable en-
barrassment is avoided.
No appointment made by President
Roosevelt during either Of the adj
ministrations has given rise to as
much discussion as that OF DIR. Crum
whose appointment as collector at
Charleston was vigorously opposed
because OF the fact that ne is q me-
gro.
Or. Crum says that no pressure has
been brought to bear on him now TO
cause him to resign, but that he does
so In part because he wishes TO save
Mr.. Taft, for whom he entertains
great respect, from any possible en-
langlement and chiefly because he
feels that he has been especially iden-
tined with the Roosevelt administra-
ton, and he wishes to retire with
his chief.
In his letter to President Roose-
welt DR.. Crum thanks the president
for appointing him six years ago, and
for renominating him, recently for
WAS washington, D. c.-fhe resigna-
ton Of w. d. Crum as collector Of
the port of Charleston is taken here
to verify the prediction made some
time ago that Crum will be brought
brought to Washington and succeed
John B. Dancey, the negro register
Of deeds Of the District Of Columbia.
While Mr.. Taft has never, in any
of his speeches, specifically barred
negroes from Office In the south, he
has made statements which have had
no other meaning. The negro pie
counter republicans and the profess
sicnal white republicans In the south,
who have been holding federal offices
since Lee surrendered at Appomattox,
are in fair way to find their occu-
patton taken away by the new adj
ministration.
Southern congressman will be heed
ed more than ever before, and the
officers Of the newly organized Tart
clubs are expected in many states to
take the place Of the referees Of the
present administration.
The negroes have been inclined to
resent Mr.. Taft's attitude toward
their race. Leaders Of that race like
William T. Vernon, register Of the
treasury, have, however, urged them
to be cautious. They cite Mr. Taft's
speeches to the colored people, his
contribution to the negro orphanage
at Augusta, which crowned with sue
cess a movement to pay off the debts
and his speech in New York In aid
Of the Booker Washington school at
Tuskegee, as evidence Of his fair.
ness toward the race.

SALARY OF PRESIDENT
Fixed at Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars Year By Congress.
No TRAVELLING EXPENSES
All Other Salary Increases Were 8triclx-
en- By the Houso and the Senate
Forced to Acquiesce.

Washington, d. C.The salary Of
the president of the United States
has been definitely fixed at $4,000 per
annum without any additional allow
ance for travelling expenses. This
conclusion was arrived at by two
conference committees OF the two
houses of congress, one ON the leg
islative, executive and judicial bill
and the other on the sundry civil
appropriation bill. Originally the SEN
ate inserted an amendment in the
legislative bill giving the president a
salary of 100000 q year. The house
reduced the amount TO $4,000 and
the conference on that measure re-
suited in the retention of the house
figures.
Anticipating the possibility of this
conclusion with reference to the sal
airy, the senate inserted In the sun
dry civil bill a provision appropriating
$4,000 for the paymeat OF the pres
ident's travelling expenses. Later the
senate also receded from that amend
ment, thus leaving a Fat salary OF
SITS 5000 for the presideHt, out of which
he must pay his own way when trav.
cling. The senate lost all of its OH
er amendments for Increase of sala-
ries for high officials, Snch as the vice
president, the speakep of the house
the supreme court judges and other
federal Judges.

HE PLEADED FATNESS.
Alleged He Was Too Fat to Rob Man
in Narrow Alley

Ossining, N. Y.-William Green, who
gained considerable notoriety by his
novel plea that he was too rat TO rob
a man, in an alley in which it was
alleged that the crime was commit
ted, added another feature to his &C.
centric defense when arraigned for
sentence. lie submitted petition
signed by ninety women of this place,
Which read as follows:
I'VE do hereby certify that we al
ways felt safe in passing this section
while William Green was in that
neighborhood, because he would new
er let any Italians both US. We be-
lleve that he has made this place
safe for ladies to pass by without
interference or fear and we pray Tor
leniency for Green"
The prosecuting attorney showed
that Green had a bad record, however,
and he was sentenced to serve four
years and six months in prison, de-
spite his petition.

ROOSEVELT PAID TRIBUTE.
Taft Says Historians WAl Rank President
With Lincoln and Washington.

New York City. President-elect
William H. Taft, according to The
American, gave that paper a state
ment containing the following appre-
citation Of Theodore Roosevelt:
lit is difficult for one with the
depth Of affection that / feel for The
odore Roosevelt to give a judicial
estimate Of the man, but / verify be-
lieve that when the historian twenty
i've or fifty years hence shall de-
scribe his administration and the in
fuence that he has .exerted as the
chief executive Of the country, he
will accord to him place with Wash
ington and Lincoln, and that he will
treat him, as we are prone now to
regard Washington and Lincoln, as
providentially raised up to meet an
exigency in the country's history that
was only less important than the rev.
olution and the civil war"

MADMAN KILLED BY PREACHER.
Rev. Eastman Shot George Narcotic,
Who Was Crazed by Drink.

Tample, N. H.-While crazed with
drink George l.. Narcotic, valet in
the employ of Brigadier General Jas.
Miller, United States Army, ran
amuck and, after shooting at several
villagers, was shot and killed by the
Rev. Harvey Eastman, pastor Of the
local Congregational Church.
The tragedy occurred at General
Miller's residence, one and half
miles from Tample. Narcotic had
been drinking freely for some time.
He seized one of General Miller's pis-
tolls, discharged it at random and
drove the general and his housekeep-
err from the house.
General Miller telephoned to Tam
pie for assistance, and, in response,
eight armed men FASTENED to Miller's
home. They surrounded tho house,
hoping to induce Narcotic to surren-
der, but the valet refused to do so;
and, in attempting to escape from the
house, was shot and killed by Rev.
Mr.. Eastman.

DIAMONDS FOR MRS. ROOSEVELT.
Valuable Necklace Presented to Her
by Friends.

Washington, D. ca string of So
diamonds and an illumined and en-
bossed friendship book were present
ed to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt as
a token Of the esteem of SO Of her
friends, prominent society women of
Washington. They were not present
ed to Mrs. Roosevelt in person, but
were handed to an attendant at the
white house door. The names Of the
other donors have not been made
public.
While the cost Of the string OF dia-
nOnds is unknown, some estimate OF
its value may be gained from the
knowledge that the contributions
ranged from $50 to 500 from each
of the 80 donors. The center dia-
mond weighs two carats and the 9th
er "a are graduated down to quar-
ter carat diamonds at either side OF
the small clasp.
The friendship book, measuring 8
by 10 inches, is bound in cream-col-
ored calfskin, highly embossed and
lined with MORE silk. In the CEN
ter Of the cover, Mrs. Roosevelt's
monogram, "E. X. r." appears in
gold. The six pages are of vellum,
and on the first page a quotation from
Antony and Cleopatra" is traced in
gold:
"Whose virtue and whose general
graces speak that which none else
can utter"

DANGEROUS EMIGRANTS
Many Succeed in Getting Into
the United States.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
Submitted to Congress States That
Exclusion Lave Are Strong
But Not Enforced.

Washington, ID. G. - Some facts
Knowing the tar-reaching character OF
the work of the joint commission on
immigration, which was appointed by
congress February 20, 1907, were pre-
SenLed to congress through the pub
lication of a preliminary report by
the commission. This report deals
with practically every phase ct the
immigration question, including orr
entail aliens and other excluded
classes; peonage, charity among I'M
migrants, white slave trade, condi-
lions of steerage, anthropology, con-
geStion in large cities, alien crimi-
nality, competition Of immigrants,
school inquiries, administration OF
the immigration laws, distribution Of
immigrants and other questions.
The commission says 1t is generally
admitted by those acquainted with the
subject that, notwithstanding the fact
that the present law proposes TO pro-
vide for the exclusion OF every unde-
sirable immigrant, thousands Of ull-
deniably undesirable persons are adj
mitted each year. 1t has been found
that the law in theory, SO tar as its
exclusion provisions are concerned,
is exceptionally strong, but in effect
1t is in some respects weak and IN
effectual. The commission says 1t
has discovered several sources OF this
weakness, and it is it's purpose to
find the others and to recommend
some effective remedies.
1t has been found that in numerous
instances persons afflicted with con
tageous diseases, and even criminals
OF a dangerous type, have been able
to evade the immigration laws and
Ncome to this country under the pre-.
tense OF being seamen
Notwithstanding the expenditure OF
about five hundred thousand annual
iy 10 enforce this law, the commits,
sion find that it does not prevent the
coming Of Chinese laborers in con
siderable numbers
The most extensive and important
work undertaken by the commission
is the general field investigation into
the economic and social status Of i'm
migrants in various sections of the
