VAROAMIN MAKES SPEECH
ON THE NEGRO QUESTION
Address to Senate is Based on
the Equal Suffrage Amend
ment.

Washington, d. c., March 5. -
United States Senator j K. Var
daman, of Mississippi, delivered
a speech on the floor of the SEN
ate this afternoon in advocacy of
the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment.
Senator Vardaman has been a
member of the body just one
year His address was based on
the equal suffrage amendment,
now pending before the senate,
to which he is opposed on the
ground that it would result in
complications in the south, by
making negro women eligible to
vote.
Senator Vardaman's advocacy
of the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment was along the same
( line as his campaign address in
Mississippi. Notice was given
I in the Washington papers that
he intended to speak this after.
noon, and there was a big crowc
I in the galleries.

Sentence of c. c. Smith, former
chairman Of the penitentiary
board Of trustees, who was con
vieted in the Kinds county cir.
cult court for grating and sen.
fenced to five wears in prison,
was commuted at 5 o'clock this
afternoon to fine of $500 by
Governor Brewer.
A petition asking executive
clemency in Mr.. Smiths case
had been on file in the governors
office for several weeks. 1t bore
the signatures of thousands of
people. AT 3 o'clock this after
noon Vaughn Watkins, one of
the attorneys for Mr.. Smith,
went to Governor Brewers Of
flee to ask him what action he
would take in the case. After
an hours conference the COVER
nor agreed to commute the SEN
tence. This was done later.
As soon as the news had spread
that Mr.. Smith was relieved of
his sentence his friends began to
pour into the Jail to felicitate
him. Hundreds called at the
Jail and later at a Jackson hotel,
where Mr.. Smith held an in
formal reception.
Mr.. Smith refused to give out
a statement. but said: All !
have to say is thai / highly ap.
preciate the action of the Cover.
nor this afternoon"
Governor Brewer said that he
had been informed by physicians
of the highest character that if
Mr.. Smith went to the peniten
tiary it would endanger his life,
and that although some of
Smiths indiscreet friends had
endeavored to create the impress
sion that he had entered into a
conspiracy to prosecute him as
an enemy. Il am going to do
my duty as God gives me power
to see it, and have decided to
commute his sentence from i'm.
prisonment to the payment of a
$500 fine.
