 The laws were: Amendment to the man. ufacturing liquor laws. which played hatl Columbia with statewide prohibition; the LaFollette charter law and the Nashville charter law. These two measures are similar to commission government and the state election laws
 The five who are said to have broken faith sponsored these laws and were to profit by their enactment.
 We were astonished when we realized that five of the 54 of the majority had been swayed," says Representative George E. Burbage of Johnston City, Washington county, Tennessee. There we were up against aseombination which, if success full would have cheated us of the fruits of not only two hot elections but two years effort to overthrow Patterson. The combination was so terribyy bolted togeth- CT that we could not turn a hand
 We stood for the statewide prohibi- tion laws in the previous session of the lawmakers and they intended to run rough shod over us in repeating that measure. They also combined on other laws.

Our absence breaks this and will continue to break 1t indefinitely. Another provision of our constitution makes 1t imperative that the legislature adjourn at the expira- tion of 75 days, which will be April 2S. However, by adjourning from day to day the speaker of the house and two mem- bers can keep the house in session. That recourse will not be taken. however as they will be willing to get home at the expiration of 75 days.'

We have struggled against untold odds to overthrow Patterson and his crowd of henchmen and do not propose to allow his machine to enact iniquitous laws and pull Tennessee down into the mire from which she was rescued on two separate occasions by the people. We elected Governor Hooper, elected the supreme court justices. whom Governor Patterson grossly insulted. and we elected Luke Lea United states senator in addition to

ENSLEY HAS GRIEVANCE
 FOR THE COMMISSIONERS

that delegation of lawyers would visic the commission this morning to publicly assert that in justice to the lawyers one of their number be named.
 T know of no candidates for the po- sition," asserted MT. Daniel yesterday. but I am sure $125 per month would appeal to many good attorneys of Ems ley and that one versed in the law can be secured. We are not in any senss of the word directing any attack against Recorder Harris, but we are against any man presiding as a recorder who does not know the first thing about laws
 In addition to the delegation from Ensey it is stated several complaints and petitions will be presented to the commissioners this morning Chief among them will be a delegation from Ensley headed by some prominent men SAi- tive to several matters that have origi- ated in tha. community which they wish to see solved
 It is stated that President Exum will call the two associate commissioners to- gether when the delegations reach him, but that no business will he transacted other than concerns these complaints. VI

 Chief Bodeker Vindicated
 ''it has been intmated that I gave or- ders not to enforce the prohibition laws of the city, said the chief. T wish any man present to whom I have ever given any such orders to say so. I will ask every man to whom I have not given such orders to hold up his hand"
 Every right hand in the room in- stantly shot into the air. You see, MT. Lane,' said the chief, turning to Judge Lane, and turning back to the au- dience:
 Will every man that I have given such instructions hold up his hand" No hands were visible
 Chief Bodeker then made shors~talk to the mon, speaking of his fight for the civil service bill for the police de- partment and saying that he had la- bored for the men and that he was glad that the day had at last come when the standard of efficiency was the standard by which patrolmen kept their positions.
 With an appeal to the men to join the Police Relief association and inA <, sure themselves against possible death or injury the meeting broke up amid general handshaking.

WASHINGTON. July 11.--Follow-
Ing announcements of the plan of the
Navy Department to abolish all ex-
Icept three navy yards on the Atlantic
coast an attack upon Secretary Meyer.
based on the ground that Pensacola
navy yard may be abolished. was made
by Senator Fletcher of Florida, in the
Senate to-day.
He has no authority to abandon
the navy yard" exclaimed Fletcher,
"but it appears that he claims the
power to close 1t. That Is only the
differnce between "tweedledum and
tweedledum."
He introduced a resolution, which
remained on the table. asking Secre-
tary Meyer whether the yard Is to be
closed IL work cannot be performed
as cheaply there as elsewhere, and
why the sums appropriated for i'm
provements have not been expended.
1t was explained by Fletcher that
more than $4,000, 600 have been ex-
pended for the Pensacola navy yard.

TEXT OF SPEECH
EXONERATES HIM

WASHINGTON. D. c., July IL
The official text of the speech made
by Consul-General Griffiths at Lon
don which 1t was thought would have
made him liable to severe censura by
the president. has been received by
many of his friends In Washington
and shows that he did not say what
was attributed to him In the cable
dispatches from London.
1t was alleged that In talking OF
arbitration the consui-generaf had
travelled far beyond the prophecies
and had discussed the relations of the
United States. Great Britain and
Germany. The illusions credited to
Mr.. Griffiths We're not OF nature to
preserve the good feeling between
the United States and Germany.
The text as received here will be
the one on which the State depart
ment and the president will act and
not upon the cabled reports. Con-
gress wanted to know what Mr.. Grit
fiths had said and a resolution ask
ing for the information is pending.
There can be no doubt that on the
record Mr. Griffiths will not be called
upon to explain further. The text
OF the speech exonerates him Of the
charge Of another diplomatic hlundex.
