1t was CORVALLIS who gave tho
name of The Gamecock to Thomas
Sumter. His lordship was fighter.
and admired a fighting man. More
ter, but like the warrior bird for
which he was named, Sumter renewed
the fight the instant he had recovered
from the blow Like the eminently
just man that he was, CORVALLIS did
not underrate the men he fought
against He admired Marion, and paid
a high tribute to the manner in which
the Swamp Fox pestered the British
he declared that Greene had military
talent of high order. and probably
was the ablest commander in the
Continental Army, but to Sumter he
paid the greatest tribute of all. The
Gamecock, he said, was the most re-
sourceful, the most annoying and the
most harassing enemy he encountered
in the whole war. Sumter was so
quick, so persistent, and recovered so
quickly after rough handling that
CORVALLIS was more troubled about
his operations than those of any of
the other independent leaders.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 14.-Attorney
William J. Brennan, who is counsel
for several of the indicted councilmen
today revealed the course the defend
ants will take in the coming graft
trials if convictions are secured in
the lower courts.
Instead of pressing the question OF
Harrison Nesbit's right to be mem
ber of the grand jury which found
the indictments, because his citizen
ship is in question, no objection will
be made to the trials going on at once.
If convictions are obtained, however,
the Nesbit contention will be made
basis of a motion for new trial.
Should this be granted-and the al
legged grafters hope is %inned to it
it will be after June 8, 1910, when
the statute of limitations becomes
effective in graft cases.
That this offers loop-hole for the
escape Of all the alleged grafters who
have not confessed. including Hoff-
stot, is the opinion Of all the attorneys
for defendants.

SUGAR FRAUDS

fBv Associated Pres.-

Washington, april 14.-If not in
compatible with the public interest,
President Taft will tell the house
what facts, if any exist, which would
make it expedient for that body to
enter upon an investigation of frauds
in the customs service, especially in
connection with the disclosures Of
sugar frauds. The resolution intro
duced by Representative Fitzgerald
of New York calling for this infor-
nation was passed by the house to-
day after an extended debate and the
adoption of amendment indicated.
The question whether the passage
of such a resolution would embar-
rass the administration in cOntinu-
ing it's prosecution of so-called sugar
trusts was given consideration. In
view of the recent conference be-
tween the president and Representa-
tive Hill of Connecticut on this sub
ject it is believed the information
called for will not be given and that
the declination will be based upon
the discretion reposed in the presi-
dent by the constitution. Resolution
was finally adopted.

Taft today enjoyed the novel exper-

American League team win a ball
game.
Last year he saw Washington play
Boston late in the season, but the
local players got stage fright when
the president arrived, and threw away
the game.
Mr. Taft remarked that he must be
a "Hoodoo," and remained away from
the ball park for the rest of the sea-
son.
This morning President Noyes of
the Washington club, went to the
White House and presented Mr.. Taft
with a baseball pass. Mr.. Taft show.

his way through the jam of baseball
enthusiasts who had gathered at the
park for the opening game of the sea.

PRESIDENT TAFT KISSED
At SUFFRAGEIIE Meeting
@v Associated Press.1

Washington, April 14.-The presi-
dent of the United States, the first
executive of the nation ever to greet
a convention of woman suffragists,
braved the danger tonight of facing
an army of women who want the bal
lot, had the courage to cofess his
opinion and was hissed. So great
was the throng that sought admis-
sion to the hall that hundreds were
turned away.
President Taft was welcoming to
Washington the delegates to the con-
vention of the National American
Woman Suffrage association. He
had frankly tod them that he was
not altogether in sympathy with the
suffrage movement and was explain
ing why he could not subscribe fully
to it's principles. He said he thought
one of the dangers in granting suf-
frage to women was that women as
a whole we're not interested in it
and that the power of the ballot as
far as woman is concerned would be
controlled by the 'less desirable
class"
When these words fell from the
presidents lips the walls of conven-
ton hall echoed a chorus of femen-
inc hisses 1t was no feeble demon
stration of protest. The combined
Kisses sounded as if valve on a
steam engine had broken.
President Taft stood unmoved on
the platform during the demonstra-
ton Of hostility-for the Kissing con:
tinued tub moment-and then,
smiling as he spoke, he answered the
unfavorable greeting with this re-
tort: "Now, my dear ladies, you
must show yourselves capable of suf-
frage by exercising that degree of
restraint which is necessary in the
conduct of government affairs by not
hissing."
The women who had hissed were
rebuked. The presidents reply ap-
parently had taken hold. There were,
were no more Kisses while the pres
ident continued his address which he
characterized as my confession on
the woman suffrage question"
At the conclusion of his talk he
was enthusiastically applauded and
some of the delegates to the conven-
tion expressed to him their sincere
regret over the unpleasant incident.
The president assuded them that

he had not had his feelings injured
in the least.

II am entirely certain" said the
president, after he had been cour-
teaously presented to the convention
by Rachel Foster Avery. vice pres1'

vention, but l consider this move

ing you to Washington.

ter is this-at least the difficulty
which occurs to me, as Judge of my

at this point in his address.

white bandkerchiefs, but the waving
ceased abruptly when the president
