BRUTAL TREATMENT OF MRS.
MORRIS, SATS REP.SHEPPARD
A BLOW AT AMERICAN LIFE
“When the President of the United States, in All the Glow of
His Great Office, Steps Into the Presence of an American
Mother He is in the Presence of His Superior.”
WASHINGTON, 0. C., Jan. B.—ftepreaentative Sheppard, of Teaaa, to
day introduced the following rea&lutlon In the houae:
“Resolved. by the houae of repreaentativea. That a committee of re
publican and democratic members of the houae be appointed by the
speaker to Investigate the recent violent expulsion of an American mother
from the White House offices and grounds by executive em
ployee while she wee seeking an audience with the prealdent of the
United Statea; that said committee have the power to summon witnesses
and report as soon as possible to the house "
Mr. Sheppard made the following statement concerning |the resolu
tion:
“I Introduce this resolution In the name of American motherhood and
American womanhood. The occurrence which la the cause of this resolu
tlon, was a violation of every sentiment that glorifies American man
hood and American chivalry.
"The brutal treatment of th>a lady, who was hut acting within her
rights, seems to me to he outrageous and indefensible. The Amor can
congress ought not to permit the -nattei to rest without r most thorough
and searching investigation. It involves the most sacred element of
Amsrloan life, the respect an I revetrnce which every true American
cltlten acoords the American worvin and especially the American mother.
When the president of the Unl'r I Utates, w'th all the glamor of his great
office steps Into the presence of an American •'“other he is In the pres
enee of his superior. This action of hie subordinates should certainly be
invest I gated"
The resolution was referred to the committee on rules.

STAR CHAMBER SESSIONS
ENDEC BY THE ALLIANCE
NEWSPAPER MEN REQUESTED
ADMISSION TO MEETING. BUT
WOULD STAY UNDER NO RE
BTRICTIONS.
RESTRICTIONS WERE
FINALLY REMOVED
Three Member* Were Opposed to Un
ceneored Report* Going to the Pub
lic—Alliance to Remain Intact—The
Buelnee* Treneeeted.
There was a well attended meeting
of the Ministerial Alllanrr in the par
lors of the Y. M C. A at 11 o rlock
this morning Discussion of the rela
tion between the alliance and the
press of the city ronsumed a greater
part of the time Resolutions content
lug the recent disrnsslona In some of
the papers of th* city were passed,
whlrh expressed the entire confidence
of the body In the ministers who had
been criticised and commended them
to the people. These ministers were
Or. C. W. Ttvrd and Rev Howard T.
free This discussion of .these two
artiona and ib* election of officer#
were the only matters of interest to
: the public.
Hereafter the members of the press
of Augusts will be permitted to attend
all meetings of the alliance, a resolu
tion having been passed inviting them
to attend.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at II o'clock and the doors
lof the parlor were cloaed Oniy inem
| bora of the alliance were admitted.
There was a request made by the re
porters present shortly after this that
the, be admitted to the meeting. The
request was written and hand'd Into
' the meeting. After a littie wait they
were Invited into the parlor and were
told that they might remain. Before
the continuation of business Rev C.
(I. Dilworth stated to the meeting that
before any business was transacted
he wished to read the resolution un
der which the representatives of the
press had been admitted This was
done and It wns to the effect that the
representatives of the press of the
city of Augusta he admitted to the
meetings of the Ministerial Alliance
and he allowed to report the same, but
that each account must be approved
or censored by the alliauce before it
should be published. This was some
what of a surprise to the reporters
who were present, and It was clear
|j seen that they did not care to re
main In the meeting If the accounts
had to be censored. The resolution
provoked much discussion, and Rev
O.eo, C. Outlie thought that the re
striding clause should he removed as
he was not afraid of the public know
ing of any action that he took in the
meetings of the alliance. There were
several motions and motions
made that provided for different of
ficers censoring the reports Mr. Pti
worth wanted the privileges of the
floor extended to the members of the
press tn attendance that they might
be permitted to express their views.
This was for She time being side
tracked by motions to the effect that
the secretary be appointed the censor
and some desired a committee ap
pointed for the purpose. It was then
suggested that the meeting should re
quest the reporters not to publish
such matters as yvas desired to he
kept out of the papers At this point
Mr Frank W. Carswell, representing
the reporters, stated that If they at
tended the meeting they would be
duty bound to give it as they saw It
and that If any portion was desired
suppressed thnt the request would
have to be made of the editors. A
motion was then made That the mem
bers of the press of Augusta be Invit
ed to sit with thg meeting* of the Min
isterial Alliance."
This provoked another discussion
and Revs Rivers. Campbeell and
Wood were opposed to the resolution.
Mr Rivers and Mr. Campbell said
that there were times when reporting
the actions of the alliance would only
by as a means for the opponents of
the alliance getting posted. They
thought that all matters should he
submitted to some on* for censorehlp,
although this word was not used dur
ing the meeting the actlpn desired by
some amounted to the appointing of a
censor. The question wae called for
and the motion was put on a rising
vote. All of the members present
voted In favor of the resolution with
the exception of four. These were
Revs. Campbell. Wood. Rivers and
Choate. As It now stands the meet
ings of the alliance will be open to
the press of the city.
I'nrb r the head of communications
the re Ignutlons of Or. C. W. Byrd
and K v. Sparks W. Melton were
read hey stated that for reasons
known o themselves they thought
that th dr usefulness In the alliance
was at an end and that they desir'd
to withdraw from the body Rev. Mr.
Belk moved that the resignations he
withheld until the next meeting for he
was certain that the differences could
he adjusted. This was passed and
the resignations were held over until
the next meeting.
The floor was extended to Mr. Jas.
H. McC’onkey, who delivered a short
talk on the prayer life. He expressed
his strong conviction In the efficacy
of prayer and staled that there was
need of revival work In this city at
present. At the close of his talk a mo
tion was made that he be invited to
address meetings held frequently at
the association In the interest of his
work. Mr. McConkey said that dur
ing the first month he worked through
the regular meetings of the congrega
tions of the churches and that he
would be pleased to address meetings
at any of the churches of the city.
This was received as Information and
there was evidently a gratification
felt by the members that they would
be able to secure the services of Mr.
McConkey for their meetings. The
matter of arranging for the meetings
was referred to the program commit
tee.
The following resolution in regard
to Dr. Byrd was introduced by Rev.
Mr. Rivers and amended by Rev. Mr.
Belk so as to include Rev. Howard
T. Cree:
"Resolved. That as ministers of
Jesus Christ we deprecate the unfor
tumite criticisms given in the public
press of Dr. C. W. Byrd’s and Rev.
Howard T. Tree's views as expressed
by them before the Ministerial Alli
ance. That as preuehers. we heartily
commend Dr. Byrd and jit. Cree to
the confidence of the citizens of Au
gusta us eultured Christian gentlemen
and faithful ministers of Jesus
Christ. ”
Mr. Rivers ssid that the passing of
this resolution was only proper as the
men mentioned in them were offend
ed by the recent occurrances and that
there ought to be perfect harmony in
the alliance.
Rev. Mr. Mills disapproved of tak
ing any action and said that they
ought to be bygones and not be by
gones brought before the meeting
again.
Rev. C. O. Dilworth said that while
he might vote for the resolution and
he might not, he did not want it
thought that he agreed in the religions
views held hv Dr. Byrd and Mr. Cree.
It was here explained to the alliance
that the body did not assume the re
sponsibility for any views expressed
by members during a meeting. Rev.
Mr. Holley thought thatethe resolu
tions should be passed as the two men
In question were sore over the recent
oceurrenee. The question was called
for and the resolution was unanimous
ly passed, all members voting
The election of officers was then
gone into and Rev. C. G. Dilworth
nominated Rev S. R. Belk as presi
dent. Mr. Belk stated that he wanted
the present president. Rev. C. E.
Weltner. to reconsider his resolutio*
to go to South Carolina and remain
In this city as president of the allk
nnce. This Mr. Weltner said was tm
possible. Mr. Ilelk was then elected
as president of the alliance. The oth
er officers chosen were: Rev. J. B.
Holley, vice president, and Rev. Geo.
E. Guile, secretary and treasurer.
Rev. Howard T. Cree not being
present, his paper, which was to be
the regular paper for January, was not
read. It was announced that Rev. S.
R. Belk would read a paper on TV*
Preacher In Politics and Social Life”
at the next meeting of the alliance,
which will be held on Feb. sth.
There were several minor mattws
attended to during the meeting *jid
after the announcment of the paper
for the next meeting the meeting ad

That’s a Feature of Hit Letter to th*
Senate in Reference to Action
Pending in Reference to Panama
Commission's Report.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. B.—The
letter of President Roosevelt trana
mining to congress the annual re
ports of the Isthmian Canal commis
sion and the Panama railroad com
j pH.iy, together with Secretary Taft'x
| letrer transmitting the same, say*:
"Work on the Isthmus is being adrair
rlily done, and great progress has
l been made, especially during the last
nine , months. All work so far has
• been done, not only with utmost ex
peditlon, hut In a most careful ans
thorough manner: and what has been
accomplished gives us good reason to
: believe that the canal will be dug In
n shorter time than has been anttci-
I ated and at the expenditure withm
hhe estimated amount.
"From time to time various publi
cations have been made, and from
time to time in the future various slrn
! liar publications doubtless will be
made, purposing to give an account
of jobbery, of Immorality, or ineffic
iency. of misery, as obtaining on the
Isthmus. I have carefully examined
into each of these accusations which
s eemed worthy of attention. In every
1 instance the accusations have proved
to be without foundation in any shape
or form.
“Any attempt to cut down the salar
ies of the officials of the Isthmian
commission, or of their subordinates,
who are doing important work, would
be ruinous from the standpoint of ac
complishing the work effectively.”
Dividend Comparison the True Test
In Life Insurance.
At the close of their recent session
THE NATIONAL •ONVENTION OF
STATE INSURANCE COMMISSION
ERS adopted unanimously the follow
ing resolution, relative to the publica
tion of dividends:
"If departments were able to com
pel a comprehensive and detailed ex
hibition of dividends or benefits, an
j nually paid or credited by every life
company, under the several forms ot
policies at the several ages, and of
each year of the history of the policy,
much, if not everything, could be ac
complished In comparing the benefit*
performed by the different companies
[ for the premiums charged, and this
would fend to direct competition to
wards showing the best results, rather
than the most alluring promises and
high pressure struggles for the largest
volume of business.” j9c
