Vardaman to Keep Negro in
Place.

Washington, July 12.-Four
attacks in seven days by negroes
upon white women in the streets
of Washington in broad dayl'gn'
moved Senator Vardaman TO-DAY
to begin an investigation OF sew
eral Offices in which negroes
hold positions. Next week ne
will call upon the president TO
ask his aid in a movement to
keep the negro in ''subjection''
II am not at all surprised at
these assaults" said Senator
Vardaman.
Indeed, wonder there are
not more. of them.
,6. 1.-THE attacks arise from the
/ recognition given the negro oy
the white people in authority IN
the government. This stirs his
ambition to be considered social
" equal to the white people ana
he loses his head entirely. Then
when one makes an attack, it in
flames others and so a series
develops.
''For his own sake as well as
for the safety of the women OF
the white race the negro must
be put in his proper place and
kept there. He should not be
] placed in positions Of authority
with white people, and far less
in authority over them"
In the recent series of attacks
q sister-in.law of Senator Poln
dexter, of Washington, was as
saulted within half a block O
Senator Poindexter's home II
one of the most fashionable sec
lions of the city, in the middl
Of the afternoon. She beat o
her assailant as did the wome
in three other cases and suftere
only a severe shock.
Senator Poin dexter is prepal
ing a drastic bill for the punish
ment OF such offenses and sens
!. tor Vardaman probably will as
sist him in its passage.

ture. The body voted to postpone in

Last week it killed senatorial reso-
luton Of the same kind.
Those who voted against postpone
ment were Senators Cornforth. Hay
den, William c. Robinson, Stephan,
Weiland and Williams, all Republi-

Mr.. Nixon. who was candidate for
lieutenant governor on the Progress
i've ticket, claimed that the assembly
should have declared him elected

officers, as his vote was the largest Of
living candidates.
Colonel B. F. Montgomery, Demo
crat, who received the largest vote,
had died before the canvass, but was
declared elected.
The Supreme Court was expected to
make ruling on arguments submitted
on the lieutenant governor successor,
but did not do so.
The greater part Of the Senate ses-
sion, which was not long. as the body
adjourned early to 60 to the Stock
SHOW. was taken up with a debate over
the bill introduced by Senator viii
liams to submit q constitutional
amendment to the people to make
smelters and refining and reduction

Senators Williams. Van Tilborg

of the bill. They contended that the
people did not have a chance at the

measure because of the multiplicity OF
initiated and referred measures that
were submitted to thom.
