SURGEON GLASGOW TELLS OF AUTOPSY I ON DEAD SENATOR' Dr. Glasgow Who Cut Bullets from Body of Carmack Call ed by Defense to Suprise Spate’s Attorneys. DEFENSE ASKS JUDGE TO FORCE WITNESS TO GITE EVIDENCE After Argument, Judge Hart Tells Witnesses it is Not Improper Not To Talk. But Proper To Talk if He Wishes. (By Anocutrt Pre.) NASHVILE. Tenn.. March I.—Refresh ed after a day and a half adjournment and with their lines of battle reformed, counsel in the Cooper-Sharp trial for the ■laying of former United States Senator Carmack, appeared this morning appar ently in fine fettle for a renewal of the contest. With their ordeal of cross-exam ination behind them, the three defend ants were in especially good humor. Even the old colonel, usually stern and taciturn, smiled genially at his friends, ■hook hands with some, and seemed to enjoy a playful push In the back given by his youngest daughter. Mrs. Beverly Wilson, of Mobile. There was the usual large crowd await ing the opening of the court room doors, and the usual rush for seats in the front row. But the regulars have learned that the balcony is the real vantage point, and the heaviest crush is now at thL» point. Jury Sent Out As soon as Judge Hart rapped for order, Judge Anderson, for the defense, said: “If your honor pleases, we have a mat ter to submit to the court and we deem it best to present it in the absence of the jury.” •‘Take out the jury.” said the court. ""Oall Dr. Glasgow.” said Judge An derson. "Now. if your honor pleases, the defendants are informed that after a few days—after the burial of Senator Car mack. some time, we do not know, an autopsy was performed by Dr. Glasgow. We have asked Dr. Glasgow to tell us what he knows. He has refused He ■ays. to his crevfft. however, that he is personalty willing but that he has been instructed by the state not to talk. We ask that he be instructed to talk to u»— not to volunteer information. but to answer our questions.” Attorney General Talks Then Attorney General McCarn said: “We have instructed Dr. Glasgow to to talk. We retained Dr. Glasgow to get certain facts for ua These facts the defendants knew. They put those bullets into Carmack's body; they shot the bul lets into the dead man. They were there and we were not. We have no living wit ness to that killing. •The defense simply wants to know how much we know and we object to their trying to get at our evidence. If they want to put Dr. Glasgow on the stand, under oath, then all rig4t We are will ing but they have no right to try to find out just how much of the truth we know. We would have the same right to call Dr. Lucius Burch and question him as to the wound inflicted upon his brother in-law. but we did not have the nerve. "Borne papers said that we had decid ed not to put Dr. Glasgow on the stand That is untrue, we are handling the case in our own way and we propose to fol low our own methods." General Washington replied for the de fense that when the state closed its case without using Dr. Glasgow, the de fense snbpenead the doctor, that he was the defense’s witness and that under all rules of procedure, the defense was en titled to know what information he had before it put him on the stand. Autopsy Not Made Public It will be recalled that no autopsy was held upon Senator Carmack's bodv after the tragedy. Two physicians cut out the two bullets that passed through his ab domen but these were directly under the ak*n. No measurements were made, no effort to dtscovw the range of the bullets was attempted. In the middle of November, however, the state's ■ttorneys, accompanied by Dr. Glasgow and one other physician went to Columbia, disinterred the body of the dead senator. The results of the autopsy were not made public. In fact, the first information even the defense had of the affair ahen it read the ac count of the Associated dispatches. Should Tell Counsel "This Is the first time the question has been raised." 'said the court, "and I will instruct the witness now. that it is proper that he should tell counsel if he has any information that will throw light on this affair." "We understand, then, you do not or der the witness to talk to the counsel for defense?” "Not just pow." said the court. "We protest and will protest that the ■ witness shall not be ordered to give in formation to the defense. We employed Dr. Glasgow tn a professional capacity to aid us. We still have rebuttal testimony to offer We paid for his service and we shall maintain that it is unjust to force us to give the defense information se cured at our expense.” "I instruct the doctor.” said Judge Hart, “that it is not Improper not to talk, but it is proper to talk if he wishes." “I ask if I am ordered to talk.” said Dr. Glasgow. "I am employed by another man and without his consent I carnot talk. I feel that I got the information in confidence and as a professional man I cannot talk. It would not be profes sional.” "I do not order you to talk.” said the court. "I instruct you that it is proper to d< so." Claims Professional Privelege The counsel for the defense withdraw with Dr. Glasgow but returned in a mci&ent. 'The doctor refuses to talk to us un less instructed to do so by the counsel for state." said Judge Anderson. "We ask for a court order directing him to give us any information he may l ave.” •That is a new question." said lvJg« Hart. '1 never heard it raised before The state claims Dr. Glasgow as a pro fessional expert, paid by It. The doctor claims Ills professional privilege. I would like to hear authorities cited. Os course, there exists a professional secrecy be- Wishes. Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal RUNAWAY SENATORS WANT COMPROMISE THE FILIBUSTERING TENNESSEE LAW MAKERS PLAN TO FORCE STATEWIDERS IN SELECTION OF STATE ELECTION BOARDS. (By AMOcisted Pre**.) NASHVILLE. Tenn., March L—lt is said to be the purpose of the filibustering run away state senators to force the statewld ers into a compromise fn the selection of the state elecion boards. It is further stated that they express a determination to remain out of the stats until this end has been accomplished. ' Sunday passed quietly in legislative cir cles. None of the absentees had been ar rested last night, but the sergeant-at arms of the senate and his assistants were still vigilant. It became known that quorum-breakers had abandoned their original purpose of returning to Nashville today and had expressed a determination to remain out of the state as long as may seem to them necessary in their effort to prevent the statewiders "running it over them" in the selection of the state elec tion boards. It also became known that the com promise desired by the runaways was that they be allowed to name one of the two democratic members of the state board of election commissioners and that all the democrats in the legislature unite in selecting the three members of the democratic state primary board. While the members who left Nashville some time between suns Thursday night in order to block the expected adoption of the joint convention resolution over the vote of the governor and the follow ing joint convention called In the resolu tion for Saturday for the purpose of elec ting the state election noards and the state comptroller and treasurer, show no present disposition to return to their sen atorial seats, it is known that they are keeping in close touch with every devel opment in the legislative situation, being in constant telephonic communciation with their political friends who are on watch in Nashville. tween patient and doctor. Whether that privilege extends to an employer of the physician in the light of a coroner, I do not know.” The state consulted a moment, then At torney General McCarn said: "We believe the court has no right to order Dr. Glasgow to talk, but if the de fense will pay us back what we paid for Dr. Glasgow's services, we consent to their conferring with him. "If we decide to use the Doctor as a witness, we will reimburse the state,” said Judge Anderson. •'No you won’t, you will reimburse us before you talk to him," said the attorney general. z Ashamed of Transaction "Now that you have gotten the dispute down to a commercial question of dollars and cents,” interpored the court. In a dis guested tone, "the defense's contention is that it wants to see the goods before it buys them. The state, however, wants to sell them in a bag.” "We had To buy them in a bag, your honor.” said Attorney General McCarn. ”1 am very much ashamed of the trans action—the whole transaction,” said Judge Hart, quietly to the press table, "but it is out of my jurisdiction.” Counsel for state thereupon took pos session of Dr. Glasgow and retired for consultation with him. Defines An X-Ray After the conference, which was short, the defense called Dr. G. B. Edwards to the stand. The doctor made an X-ray photograph of Robin Cooper's shoulder to learn whether or not the bullet was still in his body. The doctor was called upon to testify as an expert by telling what an X-ray was. He did so In scien tific terms, to the great disgust of the jury, which is not above the ordinary in intelligence. He produced X-ray pho tos of a number of people, showing bul lets still in the body, then the one of Robin’s shoulder, disclosing no bullet. The jurors gazed at the photographs cu riously, then glanced at one another as though to inquire whether anyone really believed such a thing as an X-ray picture was possible. On cross-examination. Dr. Edwards said he was of the belief, from the scar on Robin's shoulder, that the bullet never entered the body, but merely ploughed through the flesh. Dr. Glasgow On Stand "The surgeon who probed the wound would be the better judge of that,” said Judge Anderson. The state objected and was sustained., Ten the defense called: "Dr. McPheeters Glasgow.” The doctor is a strikingly big man. dig nified and slow In his movements. He said he had a speaking acquaintance with Senator Carmack. “I performed an autopsy on Senator Carmack's body at Attorney General McCarn s request on November T7.” "How did you find the body?” “In a fairly good shape. The grave had been opened and the body was on a table, stripped ready for the autopsy. I was assisted by Dr. Harrington Mohr. I had seen Mr. Carmack s body after death and found two wounds made by the undertaker after T'had seen it. These wounds were made in embalming. Bullet Through Heart “There was one wound two inches be low the left nipple and one inch to the inside, the bullet passed through the heart. Four and one-half Inches below I the right nipple and one inch outside was 1a wound from which a bullet had been taken. An inch from the left median line of the neck was another wound which | was black, the others were clean. The | bullet came out of the mouth, two teeth j being loosened and held by the lips only. “The third wound entered the chest be- I ween the fourth and fifth ribs, pierced the heart, wounded the ventrical and passed downward and forward through the liver and reached the skin between the sixth and seventh ribs The bullet Was cut out from beneath the skin.” “When did you see the senator first?” “1 saw him when he was lying on the street, saw him at the undertaker’s estab lishment and saw him at the re-opened grave in Columbia.” •That Is all, take the witness.” "We will not cross-examine now,” said the state's counsel, "but we reserve the right to do so later." Wounds Are Described The defense wished a technical descrip tion of the wounds to prove its conten tion that any one of them would have been instantly fatal. The defense believes it has established that Senator Carmack did fire two shots I and that if he fired them, he must have I fired them before anyone of the shots i Robin Cooper fired, entered his body.

ROOSEVELI OINES "TENNIS CABINET;” SAYSJDOD-BYE Farewell Luncheon Served in White House Monday at Noon, When the President Lauds His Friends* HIS BOON COMPANIONS PAID LOYAL TRIBUTE FOR FAITHFUL SERVICE Personal Friends Came from West ern Ranches and Mountain and Valley To Dine at Last Dinner With Their Chum. (By AsaoeUtad Brass.) WASHINGTON, March I.—President Roosevelt today gave a farewell lunch eon at the white house to the members of the famous "Tennis Cabinet," and others who have been closely associated with him during the past seven years. Aside from the distinguished govern ment officials who have served as among the president’s chief aides during his ad ministration, and aios as hi scompanions at sports of different kinds, there were present men whom the president had made friends with when he was roughing it in the west years ago, and with whom he had gone on numerous hunting expedi tions. The occasion was memorable to those who surrounded the president today, and the latter’s farewell words were not entirely free from notes of regret, If not of sadness. , Tribute by President The president, in a brief speech, laid em phasis on the point that no administration had given its chief more loyal service, and lie stated that he believed the country never had a more devoted set of public servants than those men through whom he said most of the work of his adminis tration had been accomplished. The president, in his remarks following the luncheon, said: "Gentlemen: You are here nominally as members of the ‘Tennis cabinet’—that is, as men with whom at tennis or hunt ing or riding, or walking, or boxing. 1 have played, with whom I-have been on the round-up, or in the mountains, or In the ranch country. But really, as you know, you are not here for that reason at all; you are here because you are the men and because you represent the men with whom I have worked while I have been president. "No administration has ever had finer oi* more loyal service than you hava given, and I do not believe this country has ever had an abler or more devoted set of public servants. It is through you and those like you that I have done the major part of what has been ac complished under this administration. Moreover, in a vast number of cases the doing of the work my success has been your only reward. Words of Praise “The credit has come to me, to the chief of the administration. For exactly as men like to symbolize a battle by the name of the commander, so they like to symbolize an administration by the man at the head, forgetting that the immense majority of his acts can be done only through others anu that a really suc cessful administration successful from the standpoint of advancing the honor and the interests of the country must be managed as ours has been, in a spirit of the most loyal association and part nership. “There are many others like you whom I would have given much to bring here today, but there was not room enough, and so I have brought you here partly 'for your own sakes, but primarily as rep resenting thousands of other workers; as representing all good, faithful, fearless public servants, who strive their best to do what the public need demands, and who, in the last analysis, stand all on the same level, when judged by that supreme test which takes into chief account the spirit of the service rendered. So, while I greet you for yourselves, I greet you still more as symbolizing others, and in saying farewell to you I shall take as symbolizing all of you one who leaves public life when I leave it; a man who made a real personal sacrifice when sev en years ago he came here to take office at my request; a man who has stood ever since as the type of what a good public servant should be; a man who the last two- years has been one of the most use ful cabinet ministers who ever sat at the cabinet table —Jim Garfield.” Those Who Were Present. Those present at the luncheon were: The French ambassador. Secretary Bacon, Mr. Justice Moody, the post master general, Secretary Newberry, Secretary Garfield, Secretary Loeb, So licitor General Hoyt, Assistant Secre tary O'Laughlin, Assistant Secretary Winthrop, Assistant Secretary Satter lee, Assistant Attorney General Wood ruff, Assistant Secretary Philips, Comp troller Smith, Commissioner Mcllhen ny, Hon. John C. Rose, Hon. Henry L. Stimson, Hon. Lyman M. Bass, Gifford Pinchot, James B. Reynolds, W. W. Heffelfinger, Captain Luther S. Kelly, "Yellowstone Kelly,” whom the presi dent first met on the Little Missouri, at present an Indian agent in Arizona; W. W. Sewall, the president’s old guide; Captain Seth Bullock, Commissioner Keefe, Dr. Henry S'. Pritchett, John Abernathy. CRITICISM~OF PA INeT “WAS A SMALL THING” (By Aaaociated *reaa.) CHICAGO. March I.—M. M. Mangasa rian has made his promised criticism of President Roosevelt's action in refusing to receive his protest against the charac terization of Thomas Paine as "a filthy little pthelst.” “I do not blame President Roosevelt for his remark,” said Mr. Mangasarian. "His religious training is responsible for his narrow views. This is the way of political tolerance. The name of Jefffcrson Davis has been restored to its place among the illustrious names In Washington. Oliver Crouwell, who led the king of England to the scaffold, has his name in the Pan theon of England. In politics we are civ ilized; in religion we are still barbarians. "President Roosevelt's virtues are great and we respect him for them. Great in come things, he is so small in others that it seems Incomprehensible that one man can be capable of doing and saying things so wide apart. I pity his ignorance, and the worst I wish him is that he may in time become enlightened.” BIG STEEL MERGER MAY BE ATTACKED SENATE AT EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS WILL DIRECT AT TORNEY GENERAL TO BRING SUIT AGAINST TRUST. By Ralph Smith (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WASHINGTON, March I.—As a resifit of a disagreement in the senate judiciary committee relative to the absorption of the Tennessee Cooal and Iron company, it is stated positively that the senate, at the extra session, will consider a formid able movement to direct President Taft’s attorney general to bring suit to dissolve the big steel merger. The present administration was only saved from a stinging rebuke at the hands of the committee by the absence of Sen ator Bacon, who is ill at his residence. The vote was six to six, and had Sen ator Bacon been present the committee would have declared that President Roose velt had approved of and authorized an act in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. Senators Culberson, Foraker and Nelson were aggressive in their attitude, and the duty of defending the president was shouldered by Senator Knox. Decision Very Lengthy The decision not to submit either of the reports of the sub-committee was reach ed after a great deal of discussion. Finally Senator Fulton moved that a dis agreement be reported and that each senator should have the individual right reserved to make such expressions of views to the senate as he desired. This motion was adopted by a vote of 7 to 5, the affirmative votes being Messrs. Clark, of Wyoming; Depew, Foraker, Dillingham, Knox and Fulton, and Clarke, of Arkansas; and the negative votes were Nelson, Kittredge, Culber son, Overman and Hayner. Senator Ba con was not present. No vote was taken by the committee on either of the reports of the sub-com mittee. Mr. Foraker suggested that the committee should report to the senate that the president was not authorized by law to permit the merger, such a report being in direct response to the inquiry of the senate. Bacon Wrote Letter Because a motion of that character ex cited a great deal of debate and differ ences of opinion, Mr. Foraker gave way to the suggestion of Mr. Fulton. Tht views of Mr. Bacon were expressed in a letter to the committee, and It is ex pected later he will , amplify these and present them to the senate. Any views submitted to the senate on the subject will be considered “individ ual” reports. Not having the sanction of the committee. TMw is generally re garded as a compromise as a number of senators had drafted'a report declaring the merger to be in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and rebuking President Roosevelt for his part in the transaction, while others declared It was not the function of tfce committee under the resolution adopted to pass upon these questions.

O. O. jug trade in prohibition states is denounced in a bulletin Issued by the Associated Prohibition press as a “delib erate attempt to deceive the prohibition and temperance forces of the country, and gain a little cheap applause from the ill-informed on the great question at is sue." "Any one can run a beer train through this act and not touch either side,” said Finley C. Hendrickson. “If a distiller in Peoria, Ills., for Instance, ships Into Kan sas 200 jugs of liquor and consigns each one to himself that would constitute him, under the legislation the bona fide con signee. “Then all he has to do is to notify his bibulous patrons that the jugs are at th» station, and that upon the receipt of so much he will send a written order to the purchaser, which will permit him to go to the express office and lift a jug."

C., Feb. 27.—A sharp clash between Representative Gaines, of Tennessee, and Speaker Can non occurred in the house of represen tatives today, in the course of which each claimed he had been insulted by the oth er.

Mr. Gaines insisted on interrupting with a question, and was held to be out of or der. Gaines is Rebuked “1 did not know I was not in order,” Mr. Gaines remarked. The speaker, with some warmth, de clared that Mr. uaines had been a mem ber of the house long enough to know that he was not in order. “It takes a student like the speaker,” retorted Mr. Gaines, “to know what the rules are, and he has to study them every minute, with somebody to prompt him." “The gentleman from Tennessee,’ the speaker hotly replied, “is absolutely dis courteous, and misstates the facts." By this time both men were thoroughly wrought up. “The gentleman from Tennessee.” came back Mr. Gaines, “Is no more discourte ous than the speaker is discourteous to him, and the gentleman from Tennessee has not misstated the facts.” Ordered Under Arrest “The chair desires at all times to be as impartial as he can, but the practice has grown up occasionally for a member, on the supposition that the speaker s tongue is tied, to insult him, and the speaker will not submit to it." “The tongue of the gentleman from Tennessee is tied, and he is insulted by the chair. The speaker has done it for twelve years,” replied Mr. Gaines. The speaker commanded Mr. Gaines to be in order. “The speaker will be in order, too," was Mr. Gaines’ retort. Unable longer to stand Mr. Gaines’ taunts, the speaker ordered the sergeant at-arms, “to see that he remains in or der." It was then that the mace was taken down.

It commands a magnificent view of the Potomac river and the hills of Virginia beyond. It is regarded as rhe most comfortable room In the white house. The Tafts will have • breakfast with the Roosevelt family on the morning of the Fourth and then will leisurely spend the time until the hour arrives for the real serious ceremonies of the day. . Shortly after eleven o’clock the presi dent-elect and Mr. Roosevelt will step in to the waiting carriage, drive out of the white house grounds and head for the capitol. They will be followed by Vice President Fairbanks and Mr. Sherman in a second carriage. They will pans be tween the long lines of spectators and get the plaudits due them. The official function at the capitol will occupy less than an hour. ’’J The vice president-elect will take the oath of office in the senate chamber, af ter which all the holders of admission - tickets will proceed to the platform, cov ering about an acre of ground, erected: i at the east front of the capitol. Out there In the weather, whatever It may be, the president-elect will take the oath of office | administered by the chief Justice of the supreme court, and will thro deliver his inaugural address. Returns To White House The formal doings at the capitol over, »he new president will be driven back to the white house for luncheon, while Mr. Roosevelt, private citizen, takes the train I for New York. In the meantime the parade—and the paraue is the thing on inauguration day —will have started from the rendezvous on Capitol, hill. By the time the new president has finished his luncheon the head of the parade will be nearing the “court of honor” In front of the white | house. From a stand directly in front of the white house the president will review the marching men. The national capital is almost fully dressed for the big fete. The local com mittee on arrangements has expended something like 380.000 in providing for the event. It will be disappointed if at least 100.000 visitors do not come to enjoy the spectacle. But few, if any, innovations j are to be introduced. They day will come on with Pennsylvania avenue roped off and cleared of all traffic and with 75,000 or 100,000 persons lining either side of the thoroughfare from the white house to the capitol. General Bell, chief of staff, who will command the marching column, estimates that it will take it six hours to pass a given point, and this will occupy the en tire afternoon. The miliary section of ’ f the parade will interest those persons who like "the spectacular. All the regular troops in the east, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, have been ordered to march; seven or eight states will send national guard troops, a large detachment of ma- ■ rines and midshipmen from the battleship | fleet now lying at Hampton Roads will participate, and the cadets will be hero j from the naval school at Annapolis and the army school at West Point.

In the evening will be the recep tion and ball at the pension office and fireworks display on the white lot. The local committee has struggled hard In an effort to think up some Interesting stunts to entertain visitors. They find it a difficult task to present many nov elties. However, it has been decided to call public attention to the various points of historical interest in and about Wash ington by means of little placards, while a catalogue of the various places has also been prepared. The famous houses of Washington, made notable by the oc cupancy of American and foreign states men, jurists and fighters have been pla carded with little signs giving brief his tories of the buildings. Points of Interest For instance, around the corner from the house where Abraham Lincoln died a little sign announces the location of the Deaver house. This is a quaint lit tle structure, in which was held the first meeting of the Spanish war veterans at the close of the war with Spain. The preliminary meeting held there resulted in the formation of the nucleus upon which was erected the present widespread organization, with many hundred camps in the United States and its colonies— the United Spanish war veterans. Around the corner from the old Deaver house is a quaint little structure which was a boarding house in 1898 and in which was captured the first spy taken during the Spanish-American war. Tha first of the battles of the Cuban cam paign had not been fought when secret service detectives located the spy and one night several of Uncle Sam's sleuths, . accompanied by a squad of regular sol diers, made a descent upon the house and Continued on Page Threa NO 48
