TILLMAN ON REPEAL
OVER ISSUE But WILL
VOTE FOR REPEAL.
Senator is Sorry Wilson Has Called
Upon Congress to Right the Coun-
try on This Question.


try on This Question.
The Senate Tuesday proceeded
steadily forward toward final action
on the Panama canal tolls exemption
repeal bill. Leaders, however, were
unwilling to predict the day when a
vote can be taken. Even with night
session Tuesday night there was no
certainty of a vote on the first propo-
sition to be disposed Of, the so-called
Simmons-Norris amendment qualify
ing terms of the bill.
Senator Borah, an anti-repeal lead
er, predicted that this amendment
alone would be debated four or five
hours. Action, however, within the
next day or two is expected.
Senator Tiilman of South Carolina
spoke, criticising the president fol
bringing the tolls issue before the
country at this time and endangerine
the chances of the Democratic party
in congressional elections next fall
He announced he would vote for re-
peal only because he felt his State
party convention had freed him from
the tolls joker in the Baltimore plat
form.
''It staggers my common sense ane
II have been unable to understand
Just why he projected the fight on his
party at this time" he said. "It is
of great importance to the Demo
cratic party to control the house al
the next election, and I believe the
president should have kept quie
until that election was over.
Until this issue was pressed te
the front the course of Democrat!
had been onward and upward. There
are so many things Of more impor
tance that the Democrats ought to do
that must say in my opinion it wa:
a great blunder on the part of the
president. The Democratic party, in
stead of presenting a solid united
front, is split into contending fac
tons"
The senator recalled that Theodore
Roosevelt, "the great advertiser" hae
come home "delighted'. Then he
devoted his attention to Senator
O'Gorman, anti-repeal leader, sug
gesting that in the next campaign the
New York senator would have some
difficulty in explaining why tw;
planks so antagonistic as the tolls
and ship subsidy planks were placed
in the Baltimore platform.
Senator Tillman said the tolls fght
had made it very unhappy for him
He recalled that when the Spanish
treaties were before the Senate he
charged his colleague, Senator Nc
Laurin, with selling GU to the Re
publicans, and blows followed. Then
he said, he had inserted in the South
Carolina constitution, fol. McLaurin':
sake, a provision that candidates
should obey their party platforms.
'T>would feel very unhappy il Nc
Laurin could Justly charge me with
prescribing physic for some which
myself am unwilling to take" added
the Senator. He explained, however
that the recent South Carolina State
convention of his party had adopted
q resolution in favor Of the repeal
bill.

USERS ARE FEW.
Census Gives .TelephoEic Data for
South Caroluina.

South Carolina had fewer tele-
phones per thousand of population in
1912 than any other State in the
union, according to bulletin recent
ly issued by the bureau of the census
on telephones and telegraphs.
Doubtless on account of the large
proportion of negroes in their popu-
lations, all the Southern States rank
comparatively low in per capita use
of the telephone.
South Carolina had only y instru-
ments per thousand of population in
1912, North Carolina only 90, Louis
lana only 81 and Mississippi only %,
as compared with 1s7 in Minnesota,
III in Iowa, SS in Montana, 121 in
Vermont and 1O1 in New York.

HANK o'DAY TO QUIT:
Chicago Cub President Not Pleased
With Managers Actions.

Chicago, May 12.-who is to sue
coed Hank O'Day as manager of the
Cubs, Bresnahan, Archer or Tommy
Leach? This is the question on the
minds of the Chicago baseball fans
today. Dame Rumor started the story
that the former umpire is soon to have
the skids put under him. and the
rumor won't down. Friday is the date
set for the big shift, according to re-
ports. President Thomas Of the Cubs
IL In st. Louis and says he isn't talking
for publicity. About the Cub head
quarters there seems to be a belief
that the rumor has much truth to 1t,
but no one would venture to make a
direct statement.
Bresnahan is the most likely of the
three named above as successor to
O'Day, though Archer has been con-
sidered for the job at one time. The
miserable showing of the Cubs is said
to be the cause of the shifts. Friends
Of President Thomas declare there is
much truth to the report and while
they will not say who will be the new
leader they are almost certain the
shift will come soon. According to
these close friends of Thomas, O'Day
has been in several star chamber ses-
Dions with his boss and that Thomas
was ready then to drop the Cub leader.
According to the men who make a
study of baseball. O'Day erred greatly
when he shifted Zimmerman to short
and Leach to third. This move and
the general work of the team, it lie
said, got under Thomas skin.

RUINS A PORTRAIT.
Suffragette Slashes the Duke of Well
fngtOn's Picture.

London, May ia militant sur
fragette, armed with Ratchet, to-
day seriously damaged a valuable por-
trait of the Duke of Wellington, in
the royal academy.
The woman was standing looking at
the painting, when she suddenly
drew the Ratchet from her muff and
slashed the canvas three times. An
attendant promptly seized her and
took her to the police station where
she said her name was Mary Ansel.
The painting was by the late Sir
Hubert Won Herkomer, who died
March 81, this year. 1t was consid-
cred one of his finest works.
