Macon. Oa„ April 2.—Greene and
Gaynor. the two Federal prisoners who
are confined at. the Bibb county Jail,
were quite busy considering two mat
ters yesterday. One was the hearing
of their appeal for a new trial before
the circuit court of appeals In New Or
leans and the press report that came to
Macon concerning the dlacovery of one
George E. Ward, a former capitalist of
Philadelphia, but now a man In poverty
and drawing a pension.
When the news reached Macon that
Ward had just b4en found and that he
nad formerly backed both Green and
Gaynor In their Savannah harbor im
provement enterprise to the extent of a
loan of 175,000, both Green and Gaynor
were reading at the Jail.
A telegram was received In Macon
yesterday In answer to one sent Attor
ney General Bonapart, at Washington,
asking Information to the privilege of
the tun prisoners to go out. The an
swer from Washington stated that the
two prisoners had been accorded some
special grants by the circuit court of
appeals pending the decision In their
appeal for n new trial. This answer
means that both may see the ball games
In Mueon.

Tallahassee, Fla., April 2.—In the
course of the biennial message which
Governor Broward sent to the Florida
legislature upon Ita convening here at
noon today the governor subnilta some
very plain-spoken and formidable com.
ments upon numerous subjects now of
vital Interest to the public. In discuss
ing the race problem, the lobby, bucket
shops and other social problems, Gov
ernor Broward exhibits the originality
of thought and directness of purpose so
characteristic of him.
Referring to the race problem, the
governor says in part:
"There has been no agitation, as in
some other states, that the expense of
running negro schools should be derived
from the assessment and collection from
the property of the white people. In
fact, no question has arlse.i to cause
any disturbance, yet It Is apparent to
even the casual observer that the rela
tion between the two races Is becoming
more strained and acute. The negroes
today have less friendship for the white
people than they have ever had since
the Civil war. and the white people
have lesa tolerance and sympathy for
the negro. It Is my opinion that the
two races will not. for any great length
of time, occupy the same territory
without friction and outbreaks of dis
order between the two.
"1 doubt If education can possibly
tend t<* the happiness of any race, so
long us It only aids In a keener discern
ment , of the hopeless difference
existing between that race and a
dominant race In the same country
and in tne same neighborhood. The
educated negro can look back with no
pride upon the past history of his race,
nor can he look forward to a time
when his race can hope to control the
politics of the country or regulate so
ciety."
Colonization Advocated.
In offering a aolutlon to the race
problem, Governor Broward says:
1 deem It best. and. therefore, rec
ommend a resolution memorialising the
congress of the United States to pur
chase territory, either domestic or for
eign. end provide means to purchase
the property of the negroes, at reason
able prices, and to transport the ne-
Untted States.
Jnlted States to
T
organize a government for them of the
negro race: to protect them from for
eign invasion; to prevent while people
from living among them In the tdrrl
tory. and to prevent negroes from mi
grating back to the United Slates,
believe this to be the only'hope of a
solution of the race problem between
the white and black races, us I can
see no ultimate good results that can
accrue from the education of a race,
without planting In their being the
hope of attaining the highest position
In government affairs and society. In
faot. I can see no reason to expect that
any man can be made happy by whet
ting his Intelligence to that point where
he can better contemplate or realize
the hopeless gulf that must ever sepa
rate him and his race from the best
thing that the dominant race, who em
ploy him as a servant, have In store for
themselves, t believe that any person
so situated would grow miserable In.
proportion as he Increased In Intelli
gence."
- Suppression of Buckst Shops.
The governor Is very emphatic In
urging the suppression of bucket shops,
saying: _ . .
No more pernicious add dangerous
form of gambling exists today than
what Is known as the ‘bucket shop,'
where wagers are made upon the rise
and fall of tht stock or cotton and
grain markets. More men, especially
young men, are ruined, more homes
broken up, more women broken-heart
ed, and more children destitute and
homeless from buckst shop gambling
than from all other gaming In this
state. You should pass a statute mak
ing the maintaining of a bucket shop a
felony, punishing every one furnishing
In any way. by telegraph, telephone,
private leased wires, or otherwise, any
Information whereby the bucket shop Is
maintained, operated or carried on.
Owners of buildings should be pre
vented from leasing their property to
any bucket ehop, and the owner of any
building where one Is maintained
should be punished as a principal. The*
legislature of Georgia at the session of
1906 passed an act upon .this subject,
which. 1 am Informed, has passed the
test of courts, and which should afford
assistance In framing a proper and ef
fective law upon this subject."
