VAR DARTS SHOT AT WILSON
The Senate Flooded With Cut and
Dried Protection Petitions.
Senator Stewart Off*r a Resolution
Adverse to the Issuing- of Bonds.
Teller Speaks on the Hawaiian Mud
dle-Call Again Rides His Hobby on
Corporation Influence on Legisla
tion.
Washington. Jan. 29 —An unusually
large number of remonstrances against
the passage of the Wilson tariff bill was
presented to-day. Mr. Hoar described
those which he presented as ‘-cries of
agony against that unsanctifled, abomin
able menace. ”
Mr. Stewart offered a resolution de
claring that in the judgment of the Sen
ate, the Secretary of the Treasury is not,
at this time, clothed under existing law,
with any legal authority to issue and sell
the bonds and other interest bearing obli
gations of the government. He said that
he should like to have a vote on the reso
lution to-morrow. The bonds were about
to be issued. It was a mooted question;
and it seemed to him that the Senate
ought, at least, to express au opinion one
way or the other. He, therefore, gave
notice that he would call up the resolu
tiod to-morrow morning.
TELLER SPEAKS OS HAWAII.
The Hawaiian resolutions were taken
up and Mr. Teller, of Colorado, addressed
the Senate. He criticised some of the
phraseology of the resolution reported
from the committee on foreign relations,
but intimated that he would, neverthe
less, vote for it. He did not like the
phrase "de facto government,” and said
that there was really no difference be
tween a tie facto government and a de jure
government.
Mr. Pasco, of Florida, inquired whether
Mr. Teller made any distinction between
a “provisional government,” and a per
manent government.
RIGHTS or DOLE'S GOVERNMENT.
Mr. Teller said that he did not. A pro
visional government was as much a gov
ernment as any other. It might be, as in
this case that the government was sup
posed to be organized for a temporary
purpose, but the provisional government
was a government, and every government
in the world which had had relations
with Hawaii recognized it as a govern
ment. The dealings of the United
States government with the provisional
government were actually the same as if
the provisional government had existed
“from time immemorial.” The question
how it came into existence was notaques
tion for this government, or by any other
government. If it came into existence by
fraud, by crime, as all revolutionary gov
ernments did come more or less, that
was a vice which followed the govern
ment after it was established.
HAD SHUT OURSBLVEB OUT.
After recognizing the provisional gov
ernment of Hawaii, the United State*
government, Mr Teller argued, was pre
cluded from raising any question as to
the mode by which it was organized. He
ventured to say that this was the only
case, in modern times at least, where a
government which had been recognized as
an existing government, and with which
diplomatic relations had been established,
was attempted to be overthrown or de
stroyed by a government which had recog
nized it.
The resolution having exhausted lta
right to consideration in the mornlDg
hour, was under the rule placed on the
calendar, from which it can only be taken
on motion and by a majority of the vote,
but Mr. Higgins, rep., of Delaware, gave
notice that he would address the Senate
upon it to-morrow.
The House bill to repeal the federal
elections law was then taken up and Mr.
Chandler continued and finished his
speech in op|x>sition to it. Most of Mr.
Chandler's speech was directed against
the election frauds of 1892 in the state of
New York—generally spoken of as the
Maynard frauds.
Mr. Higgins, rep., of Delaware, also
■poke in opposition to the bill, which then
went over without action.
CALL AND THE CORPORATIONS.
Mr. Call offered a resolution, which
went over till to-morrow, instructing the
committee on civil service to inquire and
report whether the civil service has been
influenced in the peformance of its official
duties by money or inducement of free
travel, or other corrupt means, by corpo
rations, syndicates or trusts; also to
what extent the newspaper jiress U main
tained or subsidized by railroad, bank
ing and other corporations, and as to
various other matters affecting the in
terference of railroad corporations with
elections to othce.
Anew discussion of the federll elec
tions laws was started by Mr. Chandler,
who had discovered, and who brought it
to the attention of the Senate, a law of
the state of Delaware, enacted in 1892,
which gave to constables in that state, as
he claimed, the same powers as were ob
jected to now on the part of federal dep
uty marshals. The discussion was taken
up and continued by Mr. Hoar on the one
side and by Mr. Gray on the other—the
latter reminding Mr. Hoar of the time
when the great commonwealth of Massa
chusetts had uprisen against the inter
ference of federal o.licials in that state in
the execution of the fugitive slave law.
On motion of Mr. Harris the debate
was suspended and the Senate went into
executive session At 6p. m. the doors
were opened and the Senate adjourned.
INCOME TAX TALK BEOUN.
Several Members Heard on Both Sides
oi the Question.
■Washington, Jan. 29. Immediately
after reading the Journal of Saturday’s
proceedings Mr. Burrows, rep., of Michi
gan, asked unanimous consent that the
amendments which members had in
tended to o.ler to the tariff bill, but which
could not be offered on account of the
close of the debate, might be printed in
the record.
Mr. McMillin objected.
The committees were called for reports,
and Chairman McCreary, of the commit
tee on foreign affairs, reported a resolu
tion expressing the sense of the House in
regard to Hawaiian a fairs. It was re
ferred to the House calendar.
Mr. Blair, rep., of North Dakota, in the
absence of Mr. Hitt, the ranking republi
can member of the foreign affair s corn
mi-tee. usked permission to file a minor
ity report, which was agreed to.
ixcorc tax debate begun.
At 11:15 o'clock, the House went into
committee of the whole on the lari! oill,
with Mr. Kichurdsou, of Tennessee, in
the • hair, and Mr. McMillin, o.fered as
an amendment to the tariff bill the inter
nal r :. euue Dill, iuc.uding the income tax

no one on the floor.paiJ any attention to

After the dill had been read, Mr. Me-

RAZOR BACK LAWYERS.
Fulton County’s brand Jury After the
Shark* of the Bar.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29.—The Fulton
county grand Jury created a lively sensa
tion to-day by scoring the “razor back”
lawyers without gloves, calling them
blackmailers, and calling upon the courts
to protect the public from them, since
they are here, and to squelch them
Just as quickly as can be. “Without
casting any reflection on the bar of
Atlanta,” say the grand jurors, “for no
community can boast of a brighter galaxy
of honorable and able attorneys: yet, if
the many complaints of our business com
munity are to be heeded, there are some
whose practice and conduct should be
discontinued. As the representatives of
the people, we most respectfully call upon
the judges of our courts and the bar of
Atlanta to protect the community from
the evil effects of the practices of this
class.
HUNTERS ArTER CASES.
“We would call to notice a certain class
of lawyers always on the hunt for cases.
They bring suit in cases where they them
selves ought to know there is neither
merit nor justice, and bring business men
into court and run them to the expense
of employing an attorney with the hope
of forcing a compromise and consequently
getting a fee. It is blackmail pure ana
simple, and shoula be put down. Suits
for damages against corporations have
assumed a chronic epidemic form in our
county. So grievous has the evil become
that to it is attributed the wrecking of
some of the street railways
and many other corporations. Our
people seem to have conceived the
idea that a corporation is not entitled to
the same protection under the law accor
ded to an individual.”
THE COURTS ALSO TAKEN TO TASK.
While thumping the individual of
this “razor back lawyer,” the grand jury
also strikes at the policy of the courts in
encouraging them by giving them a share
of the commercial costs to the receiver.
From our information, we believe much
larger fees are generally allowed in such
cases than for the same labor and ability
in other litigation.
The grand Jury says; “We can cite a
case in point where a special master
received for a few weeks' work as much
compensation as the judge who appointed
the special master received for three
years of continuous and laborious work.
In the majority of cases, the estate is so
absorbed by expenses thnt creditors fail
to realize proper benefits. These creditors
beiDg powerless, the law should
carefully protect their inter
ests. We respectfully suggest
that whenever in the opinion of our hon
orable judges it becomes necessary to ap
point receivers, that men be selected with
a view to their special fitness for the po
sition. We hereby ask the members from
our county in the general assembly to in
troduce a bill at the next session that
will afford less facilities for throwing
corporations into the hands of receivers.”
A NEW STYLE IN PREACHING.
A Sartnon Cut Up With Yankee
Doodle, Dixie and God Saws the Queen.
Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 29.—Rev. T. J.
Shelton, of this city, has introduced a
new feature in preaching. It is the art of
making the organist do the praying apd
the principal part of the preaching.
Rev. Shelton was for many years
recognized as one of the ablest pulpit
orators in the state, and was for years
pastor of the First Christian church, of
this city. He has for some time past,
been preaching to an independent congre
?ation, and last night created a sensa
ion in his church. His text was:
“The Law of Vibrations, or How Jesus
Healed the Sick.” After reading a part
of the gospel of St. John, he caused a
ripple of astonishment by announcing that
the organist would prav, while each mem
ber of the congregation would pray in
their own way.
STRIKING ILLUSTRATIONS.
He illustrated the law of vibration as a
universal principle controlling all human
movements. “In the struggle of America
for independence our fathers had to
contend against Great Britain, (the
organist played “God Save the
Queen”). It is such vibrations as
these our fathers had to paeot,”
said the preacher, “but now listen
to ‘Yankee Doodle.’ ” It was played
by the organist, and then the speaker il
lustrated “the late unpleasantness” by
calling for "Dixie.” As the organ notes
of this air vibrated through the hall
everybody was delighted. Here the
preacher made a telling stroke by throw
ing in a discord by saying:
“The south was defeated because
‘Yankee Doodle’was on the other side.”
He then called for another strain of
“Yankee Doodle,” and clashed the two
together, and said, “‘Yankee Doodle’
represents human liberty, and ‘Dixie’
was the champion of human slavery.” At
this point several gentlemen left tlie hall,
one of them remaraing, “Let’s not listen
to any more of this stuff.”
At the close of the sermon the organist
played “Home, Sweet Home.”

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 30. 1894.
A PLOT AGAINST A GIRL.
Two Relatives Try to Send Her to the
Lunatic Asylum.
She Was About to Sue the Father of
Her Child to Compel Him to Support
It—Her Brother and Brother-in-law
Working for Him, and They Feared
Discharge If She Was Not Put Out
of the Way.
Atlanta. Ga., Jan. 2#.—A story from
life that reads like fiction, involving a plot
thrilling in Its details of love and con
spiracy, was unfolded in the court of or
dinary here to-day.
On last Friday morning two men went
to Orainary Calhoun's office and informed
him that they wanted a writ of lunacy
issued against Ella liudd, a young woman
whose mind was affected in a very seri
ous manner. One of the men was Milton
Harwood, her brother-in-law, and the
other was James Perkins, a hose of the
pumping gang on the East Tennessee
road.
Judge Calhoun informed Mr. Harwood
that it would be necessary to have the af
fidavits of three near relatives under oath
that she was insane. Harwood then in
formed the judge that it was necessary to
have something done with the woman at
once as sh 6 was very dangerous.
HARWOOD TAKES AN OATH.
The judge asked him if he was willing
to make oath that it was necessary for
the public safety that the woman be con
fined in jail. He made the oath very
eagerly and an officer was sent for the
young woman. She was brought to the
city and placed in Jail, while her child,
a babe of thirteen months, was left
at home in care of another woman. That
was on Friday afternoon, but she wept
so much for her baby that the officers
sent for it, after which she was quiet.
Through the efforts of her attorney, the
unfortunate woman was transferred from
the jail to the Home for the Friendless on
Saturday, and remained ia that institu
tion until she and her babe were brought
before the ordinary on a writ of
lunacy which had been perfected in form
by the signature of her brother, Oliver
Rudd. The young woman as she ap
peared in the court room with her babe
clasped to her bosom presented a touch
ing picture.
A ELIMBT TAL*.
Oliver Rudd, the brother, and Harwood,
the brother-in-law, told a flimsy tale to
support the charge of insanity, the gist
of it being that there had been a dramatic
scene when they had tried to persuade
her from applying to the courts to compel
James Perkins to support her child.
The woman became furious because
her brother sided with Perkins, and
threw the tableware at him. Several
others, including two physicians, testified
as to the girl’s sanity, and she was set
free by the jury after a moment’s deliber
ation.
TRUE INWARDNESS OF THE STORT.
When the true inwardness of the story
was brought out it was disclosed that the
brother and brother-in-law, both of
whom are employed by Perkins on the
Fast Tennessee road, had entered into a
plot with Perkins to have the girl sent to
the asylum so as to prevent her going into
court to secure support for her babe from
Perkins, whom she says is its father.
ihe brother ana brother-in-law would
Dot defend the unfortunate girl for fear
of losing their positions at Perkins' hands.
Attorney Stewart brought out their part
of the story on the stand. Last Friday
morning Ella Rudd had come to his
office for the purpose of getting him
to bring a case against James Perkins to
make him support her child, as he was
its father. He had helped her in caring
for it for eight or nine months, but at the
end of that time he refused to give her
anything more.
HER BROTHER’S THREAT.
She had consulted with her brother
about making Perkins care for the child,
but he was against it, as he said that
would make him and Harwood both lose
their jobs. Both these men had been em
ployed by Perkins shortly after the
birth of the child. When she informed
her brother that she was going to see
a lawyer, he declared that if she did he
would take out a writ of lunacy and send
her to the asylum and her child to the
Home for the Friendless. On Friday
morning she told her brother that she
had employed Mr. Stewart, and that
afternoon the writ of lunacy was taken
out against her by Harwood and her
brother.
LURED INTO THE JAIL.
The girl told the same story and de
scribed how she was kidnapped into the
jail. She said: “A man came to the
house and told her Mr. Stewart wanted
to see her. She dressed and went with
him, but Mr. Stewart’s office
being passed, she asked the
man where he was going and he said
to Mr. Stewart's house. When she got
into the house, she learned that she was
in lail. She said she had intended to
push Perkins be lore, but had been fright
ened out of it by being told that if she did
he'd take her child away. All parties to
the affair will be criminally prosecuted.
RITES AT A GRAVE.
The Funeral Services Just Held Over
a Man Buried in August.
Lyons, Ga., Jan. 29.—The funeral rites
of C. B. Wichstorn were conducted at his
place on Pendleton creek yesterday. An
account of his tragic death appeared in
the columns of the Morning News last
August, he having been killed by a
trap-gun that had been set for a
burglar. Rev. George Allison
preached a short but impressive sermon,
in which he painted in glowing terms the
many sterling qualities of the departed
brother as a man, a Mason and a neigh
bor. The grave, whi h had not been dlied
up at the time of liis burial, was then
tinished by Vidalia lodge with Masonic
honois, assisted by several visiting
brethren. The funeral was very large.
There were fifty-five Masons in the
procession, b sides several hundred of his
friends and acquain tances.
A THEOLOGICAL CONTEST.
Rev. Mr. Scarbrough and Rev. Mr.
Armstead the Principals.
Mcßae, Ga., Jan. 29.—1 tis reported
here that Rev. Mr. Scarbrough, of the
Baptist denomination, has challenged the
whole world of Methodist preachers for a
disputation on the doctrines that separate
the two churches, it is understdod that
Rev. Mr. Armstead, of great fame, has
taken him up, and that the debate will
surely occur.
This contest will boas interesting to
tliousanu; as the Corbett and Mitchell
tight. There is no law in Georgia against
the contest, and it will certainly take
place if the governor does not doelare
martial law.
. AID FOR BRUNSWICK.
A Gift of S3OO for the Teachers From
the Peabody Fund.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29 —State School
Commissioner Bradwell has forwarded a
cheik for #3OO, donated by the Peabody
fund, to the public school system of Bruns
wick on account of the depleted treasury
left by the yellow fever epidemic. This
money will go toward paying the teachers
their January salaries, and another dona
tion of *hOO for the same purpose is ex
pected from the Peabody fund.
SLUGGLING TO BE STOPPED.
The Lew and Order League to Prose
cute the fight-re.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 29.—The Law
and Order League has resolved to make
it lively for the principals and the aiders
and abettors in the Corbett-Mitchell
prize fight. To-night Rev. W. N. Conoly,
local agent of the league, called on the
Southern Associated Press corres
pondent and asked that the following
statement be made; “In the mat
ter of the prize fight, we hold that
the in unction granted by Juage Call was
an evasion of prescribed statutes, and if
the state authorities dc not very soon
bring the matter up for review in the
supreme court, the league will do so I
have heard that the go ernor has in
structed the attorney general to follow
this line of action.”
DETERMINED TO PROSECUTE.
“What provisions have been made to
prosecute this matter!”
"The international league has placed
ample funds at the disposal of its local
agents for this purpose, and has given in
structions for the suit to be pushed for
ward at the first sign of weakening on the
part of the state. The leazue is deter
mined that such an exhibition as took
place in this city on Thursday shall not
be repeated in the country if means can
be found to prevent it. It was called a
‘glove contest,’ but Mitchell was rendered
entirely unconscious from the terrific
force of a bio w and that It would end in this
manner in favor or one of the, other fight
ers, was fully foreseen, as 1 understand
that a finish fight means a fight until one
of the men is unable to respond when
time is called.”
THE CLUB HAS NOT DISBANDED.
J. T. Bowden, manager of the Duval
Athletic Club, denies emphatically that
he has left the Duval Athletic Club.
“And,” says he, “There is not a word of
truth in the statement that the club has
disbanded. It has not disbanded. I
have not left It, and l have not heard any
complaint from the other members, with
the possible exception of one, with my
management. We have found that prize
fights are not against the laws and after
all this trouble and expense it would be
foolish for me to pull out. This club
owns rights which are valuable. One of
them is a lease on a part of the fair
grounds. I’m not going to throw that
up.”
“Will the club offer a purse for Fitz
simmons and Creedon!”
“As it now stands, it will not.”
“Will it offer purses for any other
events?”
“None that I know of yet. We don't
know exactly what we are going to do;
but we have not disbanded.”
ALBANY'S PRIZE FIGHT OFF.
The Prlnolpale Prefer Retaining Their
Positions to Gory Glory.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 29.—For the benefit
of the governor, It may be stated that the
prize fight which was booked to come off
in this city has been declared off. Both
men were afraid that they would lose
their positions if they went into the ring,
and decided that a position was more to
be prized at the present than a prize
fight.
ARGUMENTS AT AHERICUS.
At Least Two Days More To Be Con
sumed In Speechmaking.
Americus, Ga., Jan. 29.—When court
convened this morning, Judge Fort re
sumed his argument for the de
fense in the Hinkle case. He
concluded at 11 o’clock, having spoken
in all four hours. It was a very able ef
fort, showing his perfect study of the
law and evidence in the case, when he
concluded, he was heartily congratulated
by his associate counsel and friends.
He was followed by Col. Little, also for
the defense. He had spoken two hours
when court adjourned at 1 o’clock for din
ner. He did not conclude until 5 o’clock,
having spoken nearly five hours. It was
probably his first speech before a jury in
this county, and is by all admitted to be
one of the most logical and convincing ar
guments ever delivered in the hearing of
our people. During the delivery of both
speeches the courthouse was completely
filled, nearly half being ladies.
Solicitor Hudson will begin his speech
for the prosecution when court meets in
the morning. He will hardly conclude
before noon. He will be followed by Judge
Twiggs for the defense. It will certainly
be Wednesday before Mr. Berner will get
the ear of the jury in the concluding
speech in the case. Much is expected of
him by the friends of Dr. Worsham. He
is expected to speak at least six hours.
CANDIDATES FOR CONSULATES.
Two Albanians in the Race For For
eign Appointments.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 29. —Two of Albany's
prominent young men are applicants for
consulships under the present admin
istration. They are Col. E. R. Jones,
Dougherty’s representative in the state
legislature, and Goode Price. Col. Jones
wants a place at one of the South Ameri
can ports and Mr. Price is pulling for
Trinidad. Both are fully competent and
feel assured that they will be given what
they want.
