THE PRESIDENT IS KISSED.
Women Disapprove of Speech by
Taft at Suffrage Meet

President Taft was Kissed while de-
livering an address of welcome at the
convention OF the American Woman
Suffrage Association in Washington.
The manifestation of disapproval was
not unanimous, but it was pronounced.
1t interrupted the Presidents speech,
but did not disconcert him. He wait
ed few seconds for the feminine sibi
liant of reproach to subside and then
finished what he had to say.
The President was describing the
two conditions he would impose in
granting suffrage to any class. "One
is" he said, that the class should be
intelligent enough to know its own
interests. The theory that Hotten-
tots or any uneducated. altogether I'M
intelligent class is prepared for self
government az once, or should imme-
diately take part in self-government, is
a theory | wholly dissent from-but
that is not applicable to the present
situation. The other qualification is
that the class should care enough for
their own interests to take part in
the exercise of political power if it is
conferred upon them. II they do not,
then it seems to me that the danger
is that the power conferred may be ex-
ercised by that part of the class least
desirable.

COL. COOPER IS FREE;

Carmack's Convicted Slayer Par.
doned by Governor Patterson
-Retriai for Son.
THREATS FOLLOW HIS RELEASE
Action of Tennessee Executive After
Adverse Court Ruling Opens
Political War.

Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, sentenced
last year, with his son, Robin J. Coop
or, to twenty years in the State peni.
tertiary upon conviction of the killing
of former United States Senator Ed
ward w. Carmack in Nashville, Tenn,
Nov. 9, 1908. was granted a full pardon
by Governor Patterson a few minutes
after the Supreme Court had affirmed
mis- sentence. The court ordered a new
trial for Robin J. Cooper. Colonel
Cooper was released soon after his par
don was signed. His son is at liberty
under $4,000 bonds, and his friends
freely predict that he will not again be
arraigned for trial.
Governor Patterson's action has
aroused Nashville and Tennessee AS
nothing ever did before. There is the
most intense excitement throughout
the city. The street corners, hotel lob
bies and other places where crowds
eongregate have been the scenes of the
most violent discussions Rumors of
the Governor resigning, of an attempt
ed assassination and OF plot to lynch
Colonel Cooper have filled the air since
the pardon was issued.
Governor Patterson, in the pardon
which he wrote for Colonel Cooper,
said: In my opinion, neither of the
defendants is guilty. and they have not
had fair and impartial trial, but were
convicted contrary to the law and the
evidence. The action of the Supreme
Court in vacating the judgment as TO
Robin Cooper, leaves the sentence OF
final conviction as to his co-defendant.
The proof showed that Robin Cooper
killed deceased and that ID. B. Cooper
did not fire shot. Without reflection
upon the court, it is inconceivable TO
my mind and repugnant to every prir-
ciple of justice that man should be
found guilty of murder who was not
in conspiracy to kill and who, in fact.
cid not kill"
The Supreme Courts reversal in the
case was based on the assignment OF
error in the trial judges falling to
charge the jury as to Robin Cooper's
theory of self-defense, linking the de-
tense of the two defendants together,
excluding testimony of Governor Pat
terson as to talks with Robin Cooper
and other points.

City threatens to have q safe and
sane" Fourth of July this year. Mayor
Gaynor has signifed his intention of
UNFOLDING the order prohibiting the
sale of fireworks at retail from June
10 to July 10. This will practically
prevent crackers and the like from
reaching the individual exploder, and if
the order is upheld to the letter the
greater city will be quiet where or
iinarily it is like a battlefield. Sta
tistics show that total casualties in
the United States resulting from
Fourth of July accidents last year were
215, while there were no less than 1907

Afted devoting two hours to the rail-
road bill the Senate Thursday laid
aside that measure until Monday. The
only amendment adopted was one pro-
hibiting the Interstate Commerce Com
mission from exercising jurisdiction
over routes which are entirely by wa
ter. The Senate passed the Warren
bill authorizing the government to dis
pose of surplus irrigation water. The
President was requested by the House
to send to Congress any facts in his
possession which might make inadvis-
able any investigation of the sugar
trust frauds, unless in his judgment
such action might be incompatible
with the interests of the public SER
vice. A speech by Mr.. Rainey of Illi-
nois, dealing with the sugar trust and
charging that Attorney General Wick
ersham and Henry w. Taft, brother of
the President. had certain legal con-
nections with the trust, attracted con-
siderable attention. Representative
Mann concluded his opening speech on
the railroad bill and Mr.. Adamson. of
Georgia, senior minority member of
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, spoke in opposition to
the measure.
