PART SIX
The man who entered was strange
and impressive figure. His slow
limping step and bowed shoulders gave
the appearance of decrepitude, and yet
his hard, deep-lined, craggy features,
and mis- enormous limbs showed that
he was possessed of unusual strength
of body and of character. His tangled
beard grizzled hair, and outstanding,
dropping eyebrows combined to give
an air of dignity and power to his
appearance, but his face was of an
ashen white, while his lips and the
corners of his nostrils were tinged
with a shade of blue. 1t was clear to
ME at glance that he was in the
grip of some deadly and chronic dis.
ease.

Holmes, gently. You had my note ?''

Senate Confirms Nomination as Federal Attorney De-
 spite Stand on Negroes
Bx Associated Press

Washington, August 10.-The nom ination of Frank A. Linney, repub- lican state chairman of North Caro- lima, to be federal attorney for the western North Carolina district was confirmed late today by the Senate after opposition had been voiced over his position on the question of ne- gro voting. The vote was said to have been 31 to IT.
 Mir. Linney was charged with hav- ing prevented voting of North Caro- lima negroes. He also was criticised for his alleged statement that he fla vored applying the literacy test to filiterate white persons as we'll as negroes. It took almost three hours of stormy debate behind closed doors to confirm MT. Linney, and a veteran senator said the discussion over the race was like former bloody shirt" debates. Party lines were divided. and a large number of opponents were said to be republicans, but the roll call was ordered kept secret
 senators borah, repupHcdH, iudHos and Simmons, democrat, North Car olina, were reported to have led the fight against confirmation, while Chairman Nelson of, the Judiciary committee, and Senators Ernest, re publican, Kentucky, and Sterling. re- publican, South Dakota, were said to be the leading champions of the nominee.
 The race question was said to have been uppermost in the debate. Only minor mention was reported to have been given Linney's activities at the recent republican national conven- tion, where he was said to have pro- posed dividing North Carolina's vote between Mir. Harding and Senator Johnson, republican, California. The latter, it was said, did not speak against MT Linney today. but voted against confirmation.
