NEGRO DRAWS RAZOR ON CHIEF
BUCKLEY Bus DROPS IT WHEN
REVOLVER Is FLASHED IN HIS
FACE.
4 CnAnS

This afternoon when coming from
his dinner Chief OF Police Thomas ".
Buckley stopped on Jackson street
talking 10 another gentleman, when
he saw a commotlon up the street in
front OF sapper's bar. and then In a
moment or so Sapper himself ran out
into the street looking up and down
for an officer. and Chief of Police
Buckley rushed up the street TO the
mans assistance.
Just as he got In front OF Sapper's
place negro came out OF the bar. and
Sapper pointed 10 the negro and
said, There's the man.
Buckley daid his hand OH the ne.
gro's arm. and told him that he was
under arrest. when the negro jerked
loose from Buckley. and sapper yelled
TO Buckley, "Kook out, he's got ra.
zor.
Buckley had his mace in his hand,
but dropped the stick and pulled his
gun In flash, -sthe negro having
drawn the razor and had II open Just
as Buckley got the gun in the negro's
face.
He was just about TO slash the ra.
zor at Buckley when Buckley demand.
ed the man to drop the razor at once
or he would pull the trigger, but the
negro still retained his hold on the
razor, and Buckley thinking that the
NINA was going TO start a fight. pulled
the trigger OF the gun open and told
him that It he did not drop that razor
at once that he would fire. The ne
gro esSx. ,rtrs 'coSered. afitf=n.
nally dropped the blade.
The negro proved TO be Cebe Brown,
a big powerfully built black, who was
Just a few weeks ago ago released
from the State penitentlary at
Moundsyllle.
Buckley after taking the razor from
the man searched him, and then took
him up to the city jail. where he was
placed in cell.
The black is n bully, and none OF
the negroes around the city like him
at all. as the man Brown has the
name of being bad man." and the
local negroes do not care 10 start
trouble.
The trouble causing the arrest Of
the man was when he started TO fight
in the bar room with a white man,
drawing his razor and slashing the
mans coat across the back, then pro.
cecding to clear out the bar room.

 That is most sensible sugges- tion when viewed in the cold light of reason. According to JohnRandolph Fuckers commen- taries on the constitution, in the convention of 1787, the question as to the presiding officer of the senate was debated. At first. the senate was authorized to choose it's own president, as in the house of representives, and this was at one time during the convention a d 0 D d tc gether with the provision that the pres ident of the senate, in case of the removal, death, resignation or disability of the president of the United States should discharge the duties of the president. " Subsequently, the office of vice president was created, and by vote of eight states to two he was made the presiding officer of the senate. Objection was after ward made in some of the state conventions to the selection of an officer not elected as senator to preside over the deliberations of the senate and to cast po- tential vote upon any measure where there was a tie in the sen ate, but the provision remained imbedded in the organic law of land.
 Is the vice-president really necessary in our governmental Svstem2 When the office was created, party conventions as they HOW exist were unknown, and the practice then was to put in the office the man who, next to the president, made the best race for the presidency before the people-which assured the election of man almost as popu- lar and perhops as able as the chief magistrate himself. There is no reason why a member of the senate should not be a presi- ding officer, just as he is the tenn porary presiding officer just now. Their is no reason why the vice. president should have the right to break the why not follow the anology of the house where the presiding officer votes by vir- tue off his membership in the body in all cases?
 It is now provided by law that t1eithird.in rank in the presiden- tial succession is the secretary of the state. Why not eliminate the vice president, create presi- dent of the senate who is not to succeed to the presidency of the nation in the case of the presidents death, and make the secretary of the state in fact, though not in name, the vice president?
