CALLS HIM DOWN
WILSON REsENTS INTIMATION OF
SENATOR JONES.
Says He Was "Skating on Thin Ice"
in Asserting British Minister In
fluenced Free Tolls Message.

President Wilson told Senator
Jones, Republican, of Washington,
Thursday that he was skating on
thin ice" in his speech Wednesday,
which broadly intimated that the
president had not decided to read a
message to congress on the Panama
canal tolls question until after Sir
Linonel Garden, British minister to
Mexico, visited the White House.
The senator went to discuss with
the president certain regulations Of a
pending fisheries bill affecting the
salmon industry in the northwest
but Mr.. Wilson turned the converse
ton to the senator's speech.
The president told callers after
ward that he could not get a sugges-
ton on the Mexican question out of
Sir Lionel with a corkscrew", and
that the conference was purely for in
formation on the general situation in
Mexico. The president had written
his tolls message and decided to read
1t before he saw Sir Lionel. Officials
said neither the tolls questions nor
any suggestions for future policy in
the Mexican situation came up in the
talk with Sir Lionel.
Senator Jones returned to the cap
itol and gave the senate the presi-
dents unqualified denial. "The pres
ident assures me- said Mr.. Jones,
.'that there was no basis of fact in the
articles l referred to, N warrant the
conclusions with regard to this gov
ernment and it's relations with Great
Britain in the matter. think I was
misunderstood in that I did not draw
the conclusions myself but took them
from newspaper reports. -
Senator Jones declared the incl
dent served to illustrate the neces-
sity for more information on the toll
exemption and again urged his reso-
luton calling upon the president for
information as to what governments
had protested against exemptions for
American ships.
Senator Jones contended it was i'm
perative that the Senate, before It
undertook to act upon President Will
sons request, should be informed as
to the interests of the foreign nations
IN the matter. He pointed out that
the resolution only requested infor-
nation which the president deemed
advisable to give.
Senators who agree with the presi-
dents views on the repeal issue hold
that the chief executive com!runicat-
ed to congress in his recent message
all ne desired to say regarding the
matter and for this reason oppose the
resolution as unnecessary.

FOR NEGRO'S DEATH
FOUR WHITE BOYS OF BLACKS
BURG ARE IN TROUBLE.
Officers Seach Auto Preparing to
Leave and Find Pistol Of same
Calibre as the One Used.


Jamie Whisnaat, Hugh Davis, Zeb
Bell, Fulton Whisnant, Of Blacks
burg, S. c., are held without
bail in connection with the murder
OF Sol Williams, an 1S-year-old ne
gro who was shot through the head
and killed Tuesday night at an over
head bridge near Kings Mountain,
n. C.
These four young men, together
with Deck Fulton, formed an auto
mobile party which came from
Blacksburg to attend a carnival.
Williams when shot was on the east
side Of the road over which is the
bridge, while the carnival is exhibit
ing on the west side. Two shots
were heard, but Williams could not
be seen or the persons firing, owing
to darkness which was intensified by
the light behind the large crowd as
sembled at the carnival.
The chief Of police and the mayor
heard the shooting and came to the
carnival grounds. They found the
negro Williams lying on the ground
dead. A bullet had entered the back
of the negro's neck, severing jugu-
lar vein and large artery, causing
death by bleeding. On the same side
of the road were four men gathered
about an automobile, preparing to
crank it up for leaving. Thinking 1t
possible that there was some connec-
ton between their proximity to the
negro and his death, the officers stop
ped the party and searched them.
No pistol was found on the men.
but a quantity Of beer and whiskey
was found in the machine, while in
the rear Of the car was S2-caliber
Smith & Wesson revolver, covered by
a laprobe. Two chambers were
empty, the other three having loaded
cartridges. According to the officers
the empty shells had been fred with
IN q lew uluutSS ct tuS SAA00 WIG 9AS
tol was examined.
A coroner's jury composed OF some
Of the most prominent men Of town
was empaneled and post-mortem
examination revealed the fact that
the bullet which had passed through
the neck and lodged back Of the ne
gro's eye was of 32-calibre. Chief
Of Police Lindsay in the meantime
had gone to Blacksburg and was told
on inquiry that Deck Fulton had bor-
rowed a 3e-caliber Smith & Wesson
pistol which appears to have been a
duplicate Of the one found in the car.
Fulton before the jury swore that
he gave the pistol to Zeb Bell, an
other OF the party, before reaching
Kings Mountain and that he saw It
no more. Fulton's brother was with
him at some distance from the auto
mobile when the shooting occurred.
He was not with the crowd when the
car was searched.

WOULD HELP REPEAL ACT
SENATOR WARNS SCFFRAGISTS
OF 18TH AMENDMENT
Idahoan Shocks Auditors by Assert
ing That it Was Blunder in the
First Place and Now Dead Letter.

First Place and Now Dead Letter.
After a vigorous defense Of wo-
man suffrage in the Senate Tuesday
Senator Borah of Idaho shocked SUI
frage advocates on the door and in
the galleries by declaring 1t was I'M
practicable and impossible for wo-
men to obtain the vote by constitu-
tional amendment. He predicted
that after Is years Of vain endeaVor,
women would renew their abandon
ed request before the people of the
State, because in seeking an amend
ment to the Federal constitution they
had loaded themselves down with the
negro question, the Japanese Ques-
ton and q dozen other States rights
problems. "You will never carry the
required So States for constitu-
tional woman suffrage amendment"
said the Senator, until you repeal
the fifteenth amendment.
Asserting that the fifteenth
amendment, giving the negro the
right to vote, was a blunder In the
first place, and now dead letter,
not being enforced In a single state.
Senator Borah asked whether ad-
vocates of the women suffrage
amendment now pending, for q mo-
ment supposed Southern states would
add 100000 to the list Of those
whom they must disfranchise. "Vio-
lation Of law is bad thing" he add
ed. "It is demoralizing to the negro
race to place In the constitution the
form of rights that We do not mean
to see they shall enjoy"
The fifteenth amendment, the SEN
ator said, was blunder, engendered
in spirit Of retaliation, with the re-
suit that after the first blush OF sat-
isfaction the North had connived at
the South's violations OF It. The
amendment infringed upon States
rights, and might furnish a precedent
for an amendment declaring the
right to hold real estate or attend
school should not be denied Of race
or color.
"I have no DESIRE" explained the
senator, "to bestow the franchise on
the 10000 Japanese on the Pacific
slope, or yield up to the Federal gov
ernE ent the control of the school
questions Of the Pacific coast"
Answering a question by Senator
Thomas, Senator ,Borah said he was
in favor of repeating the fifteenth
amendment II woman suffrage could
be obtained in no other way. The
Idaho senator and Senator Vardaman
of Mississippi engaged In a tilt over
the progress Of the negro race.

 When . ked if the Pioneers Home would be abolished under the --cslled mothrrs' p nsion law, he replied: "That is purely . m.tter for the courts to decide, and it al depends on wherh CT this institution csn be made out ap alms house
 But what about the law providip ing that slm. houses m,st be sold b. ;hs various boards of supervisors-doe. not ths, provision mean that the sta'e bt.ard of control will have to se thi. institution if it is an aIms house?, was asked by the reporter.
 "I suppos- i, does," he replied, add ing: II understand there is e provis- ion in the deed to this prot erty that il there ever cones time when the land upon which it is built is not used as . home it reverts back to the owner.
