Montgomery. Ala, June 18.—In a
signed exclusive statement to tlfe
Hearst Newsservice former Congress
man Bankhead answers Governor Co
mer's declaration that the Democratic
Primaries overstepped their constitu
tional and ethical bounds In naming
alternate senators from Alabama. The
statement follows:
"When the properly constituted au
thorities of the Democratic party called
a state primary for the nomination of
governor and other state officers, and
mombere of tho- legislature, they pro
vided also for the nomination of United
States senators. Recognising the ad
vanced age of our honored senators
and the probability of one or more
vacancies, the state committee also
provided for the nomination of alter
nate senators. The candidates for this
position were generally spoken of and
recognised as candidates for senatorial
succession.
"It was thoroughly understood and
accepted by the voters that the nomi
nees In thht primary for alternate sen
ators were to succeed to the first and
second vacancies In the senate If such
vacancies occurred before the ' next
general election. In the full belief that
the nomination gave the enccessfui
candidate the right to fill out the un-
explred term left by reason of any va
cancy, the candidates In good faith em
tered the contest, and the people In
the same good fatth accepted and dealt
with them.
Appointment Not Election.
"Under the same plan and at the
same time that the governor and mem
bers of the legislature were nominated,
I received a majority of all the votes
cast In the primary for succession to
the first vncancy In the United Btates
senate and waa duly declared the Dem.
ocratlc nominee by the state Democrat
ic executive committee, to succeed to
the first vacancy.
As the nominee of the Democratic
party, I expect the legislature of Ala
bama to elect me United States sena
tor at the approaching session. An
appointment without election by the
legislature will not enable me to be
come Senator Morgan's successor. 1
would have no opportunity to qualify,
as the United States senate will not bo
In session bofore the meeting of the
legislature.
I have full confidence that the leg
islature of Alabama will carry out the
will of the people as expressed In tho
last primary. THe legislature has In
all other matters sought In good faith
to execute the will of the people.
The members will not seek techni
calities to Justify them In evading and
disregarding the expressed will of the
people In this Instance. I have an
abiding faith in the falrneee of the

United States labor commissioner, the
officers of the Telegraphers' Union
hope the trouble between the operators
and the telegraph companies will be
settled without the threatened telegra
phers' strike. Mr. Nell will arrive from
Washington, endowed with the power
to investigate the situation thoroughly.
Upon his recommendation will depend
whether Mr. Roosevelt will Interfere.
Mr. Nell will complete his Investiga
tion here and then go to Oyster Bay
to report to the president.
President 8. J. Small, of the Telegra
phers' Union, who left the city hurried
ly yesterday, had not returned this
morning. The following statement was
given out by W. P. Demarest. one of
the union members, as representing
the situation from the telegraphers'
standpoint:
“The executive board has been work
ing hard and has about decided upon
its campaign, which will be definitely
announced before the end of the week.
The companies have never replied to
the communications sent them by us,
nor-have we received any word from
Washington or elsewhere as to what
course the national government may
pursue. Arbitration has not been con
sidered, as the companies have not an
swered our request. We don't antici
pate a general strike. I don't mean by
this that there will be no strikes."
Telegrams continued to come In to
day at the headquarters of the union
from various cities, stating that their
locals had passed votes of confidence In
the national officers.

Another chapter In a thrilling meller-
drammer of Chinese lifers scheduled
to be written Monday. And as a result
all Chinatown of Atlanta Is bubbling
over with excitement.
The first chapter In what many of
tho Atlanta colony fear will be a ghast
ly tragedy was written some months
ago, when a pot of Chinese Ink struck
Chung Chin, causing a bump on his
forehead and soiling his face.
The next came when Chung Chin
swore out a warrant charging Chan Yee
with robbing him of 9160 when he was
absorbed In the work of easing his
pains and scraping the Chinese Ink out
of his slanting lamp.
This was quickly followed by a war
rant before Justice Bloodworth, sworn
out by Chan .Yee, charging Chung Chin
with false swearing or perjury.
So rapidly did these events come
upon one another that all Chinatown
was thrown Into a fever of excitement
and the Chinese Immediately took sides
with the Chan Yee and the Chung Chin
factions.
Two Paotiona In Town.
Chung Chin belongs to the Chinese
Freemasons, with headquarters on East
Hunter street, end he has for his pals
about fifty of the seventy of Atlanta
Chinese. The remaining twenty don't
stand In with the Freemasons and point
them out as Highbinders, and hint at
deeds of blood and violence.
On the other hnnd, tho Freemasons
claim they wouldn’t know a Highbinder
If they saw one face to face and make
ugly charges about the other tong—for
be It known that caeh faction Is known
as a tong.
Chu Wy and Ju 8u are alao promi
nently Identified In the aquabble among
the Celestials. Chu Is standing by hla
the Celestial*. Chu Is standing by Ills
cousin, Chung, while Ju Id claimed by
Chung ns a witness.
Chen Yee claims he Is up against the
whole Hlghblndlng outfit and that he
and his friends are In danger of being
assassinated or run out of Atlanta. So
great was Chen's fear that he asked po
lice protection for himself and his
laundry at 6 East Georgia avenue a few
nights ago, but nothing happened to
disturb the quiet of that locality. A
cop was on gunrd, but save the occa<
slonal hoot of an owl. nothing wai
heard. Chen Yee and his friends say
there are no owls on East Georgia avo
nue, and they think Ihls was a secret
sign of skulking Highbinders, to say In
plain English:
“Cheese It, Chinks, a cop Is on the
Job."
8ay are Highbinders.
, Just ns strenuously do Chung Chin
and his cousin. Chu Wy, and his wit
ness and friend, Ju Su, Insist that Chan
Yee and his minority pals are members
of the Hlghblndlng Society, and' they
hint at all sorts of evil things.
The ease of perjury against Chung
Chin, made by Chan Yee, Is scheduled
to come up Monday In the superior
court, when all the tongs and their
members are expected to be present,
Chan Yee Is represented by Hugh Dor
