CAT DIES; TOWN IN GLOOM.

A maltese cat put Winsted, Conn,
in darkness for three hours, but paid
the death penalty in doing so. All
street lights in the borough went out
simultaneously, and people who were
out in the rain stumbled and fell in
dark streets amid broken New Year
resolutions.
Linemen were sent out to ascer-
tain the cause of the trouble, but
three hours elapsed before they
found the body of a cat which had
climbed a lamp pole and fallen or
jumped on to the terminals, causing
a short circuit.

WILSON APPOINTMENT
Anglers SOUTHERNERS
Dixie Lawmakers Aroused by VIII
sons Selection of Oklahoma
Lawyer as Treasurer Reg "a
lister. vi

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The se-
lection of Adam E. Patterson, a ne
gro, of Muskogee, Okla, for Register
of the Treasury by President Wilson
has created stir here among South
ern Democrats, who declare they will
fight the negro's confirmation to the
last ditch.
Patterson, lawyer and author of
several treatises on the Democratic
party, has received the Endorsement
of Senator Gore and Representative
Carter, of Oklahoma, it is said. With
these two exceptions, the Oklahoma
delegation is solid against him.
Race Antagonism Seen.
Southern Democrats, including
Representative Davenport and MUIR
ray, of Oklahoma, condemn the Sc
lection of Patterson on the grounds
that a negro should not be placed in
position where he will exert au-
thority over white men and women,
thus antagonizing the races.
Besides, they point out that Okla
homa's Constitution makes the negro
negligible factor in politics. The
job for which Patterson has been Sc
lected pays $4,000 per year.
During the last three Republican
administrations a negro has held this
office. The first of the trio was Jud-
son Lyons, of Augusta, Ga. Next
came William T. Vernon, of Missis-
sippi. The third and present negro
Register is J. c. Napier, of Nash
vile, Tenn.
Believes Him Capable.
while believe this man to be ca
pable," said Representative Daven-
port, 81 do not believe any colored
man should be placed in a position of
authority over white men and white
women. I don't think anything
ought to be done to accentuate the
race question"
Representative Murray, commonly
known as "Alfalfa Bill" said he was
surprised at the Presidents action in
selecting Patterson, and believed it
was a POiiSiSdi ihlSIdhS OI Inc l6L-
ter's part. The grandfather clause in
the Oklahoma Constitution, he said,
made the negro negligible factor in
politics.
Confirmation is Opposed.
Other Southern Democrats, while
not hesitating to express themselves,
refused to be quoted in regard to the
matter. That they will put their
shoulders to the wheel and fight >harl
against the confirmation when -
comes up in the Senate is certain
however, it is said.
Patterson was selected from a
number of negro applicants, includ-
ing w. X. Clements, of Charlotte, n
c., who had received the indorse-
ment of several members of the Sen.
ate delegation.
