HOUSE IS STARTLED
MARRIAGE OF WHITES TO Me-
GRoEs BITTERLY ARRAIGNED
BY GEORGIAN.
HITS AT IT, BY RESOLUTION
Representative Roddenberry Declares
Practice Is Averse to Every Senti-
ment Of Pure American Spirit
viii Result In Bloody War.

Washington, Dec. 13-One OF the
most fiery speeches heard in the
house of representatives in over fifty
years resulted here Wednesday from
the recent marriage of Jack john
son, negro prize fighter, to Lucille
Cameron, white girl, in Chicago.
After introducing a resolution to
amend the Constitution to forbid the
marriage of negroes and persons OF
any other color, Representative S. A..
Roddenberry of Georgia denounced
such unions as BLACK slavery" char
acterized the action of the state OF
Illinois In permitting the marriage In
question as "damning" and predicted
that the practice would plunge the
Upited States into as bloody a war
as 1t has ever passed through.
Mr.. Roddenberry's resolution was as
follows:
THAT intermarriage between ne
groes or persons of color and Cauca-
sian or any other character OF persons
within the United States or any terri
tory under their Jurisdiction is forever
prohibited. and the term negroes or
persons OF color as here employed
shall be held to mean any and all per-
sons Of African descent or having any
trace of African or negro blood.
I'VE have heard great deal In late
days about the white slave traffic and
CO." said Mr.. Roddenberry. Terrific
and revolving as 1t is, 1t is not so re-
voting as that in Chicago. White
girls Of this. country are made the
slaves of an African brute. sanctioned
by the laws of the state and solemn
lied by the form of a marriage cere-
mony.
I'VE see an African with much
brutal force, with no moral character
with no stamina entering the Office OF
a legal officer in that city, and calling
on him to issue-'to Jack Johnson
a marriage license to wed a young
American woman of our own blood,
our own race, our own color. The
young officer is directed to issue to
the brute legal certificate permitting
a white woman in these days to be
bound in the wedlock of black slavery.
The negro question stands out in
the example Of Johnson's marriage in
Chicago as presenting to You as grave
negro question as ever confronted
your brethren in the south.
DO you propose that in all the fu-
ture years the negro men can seize
upon some weak minded woman OF
our race who can tantalize her. who
can overpersuade her and contract her
to wedlock-do you propose that these
things shall go sanctioned by laws of
your states?
1T is contrary and averse to every
sentiment of pure American spirit. II
is contrary and averse to the very
principles Of a pure Saxon govern
ment II Is subversive OF social peace.
II is destructive OF moral supremacy,
and ultimately It will bring this coul-
try to a conflict as bloody and as IA
tai as ever the other days have pro-
| duced.

defense had furnished no bond for
him. He was surly following his ar
rest and would not talk.
Zeiss was McManigal's roommate in
Detroit in the spring of 1907, and
worked on jobs with him there at that
time. McManigal testified he had
never talked to Zeiss about his first
explosion at the Russell Wheel and
Foundry company in Detroit, June 20,
1907. Zeiss contradicted this and said
Mechanical had told him that he NC
Manisal caused that explosion, and
further told him before the explosion
that he was going to Bloomville, o.,
TO get dynamite He also said McMan-
igal invited him to become a dyna-
inter. II told him the game was too
dirty for me-" said Zeiss.
DO you say that you knew this ex-
plosion had occurred and you said
nothing about it," asked Judge Ander-
son in establishment Zciss made no
reply. -.
do you know where you are? An
swer myDquestion, continued the
court. a.n
Certainly"
, And you knew who caused the ex-
= plos'on and didn't inform the authori-
ties. and you said nothing to the Off
GERS Of the law"
Certainly" was the terse reply of
the witness. After brief cross-exam-
ination District Attorney Miller in
formed the court that he had asked
Zeiss If McManigal had told him who
caused the Russell Wheel and Foun-
dry company explosion, when he was
before the grand jury during the inves-
tigation of the dynamite conspiracy.
"Ieiss swore to that grand jury that
he knew nothing Of the explosion"
said Miller. He then asked that the
witness be held to the grand jury.

Meeting Dec. 26-27.

Crown Point, Ind, Dec. 1.-THE
county council will meet on Dec. 26
and 81 for the purpose of making up
the deficiency in the various offices OF
the county. There is usually de-
ficiency at this time of the year as the
annual appropriation Is seldom large
enough and at this meeting the county
council will make it up.
No other appropriations will be made.
The next meeting will probably be in
January when East Chicago bridge
matters will be taken up. 1t is not
believed that tho commissioners will
appropriate any money for the pur-
chase of the Elk's property In Ham
mond.
The members seem to lack interest
in the project to increase the size of
tn court house property and ditch 1t
every time it comes up for considera-
tion- The same is true of the project
to purchase the Ben Hayes property.

could get better service this way.
The order will go into effect on the
