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

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

"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,

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.

"Any one can run a beer train through

Sergeant-at-Arms Advanced With
Mace of Authority Before Tennes

and Quit Taunting.
(By Associated Press.) «
WASHINGTON, D. 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. So persistent was Mr. Gaines m ad
dressing the chair when declared out of
order that the speaker directed the ser
geant-at-arms to "compel him to be In
order.”
Promptly obeying the directions of the
speaker, the sergeant-at-arms, for the
first time in several years, took the mace
from its stand and proceeded toward Mr.
Gaines, but the speaker called him back,
upon hearing the Tennessee member say
he would be in order
The trouble arose during the reading of
the general deficiency appropriation bill.
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.

the Regent hotel the cadets marched to
a nearby restaurant for breakfast, and
later boarded sightseeing cars for a. trip
over Washington. The five biggest sight
seeing cars in the city were required to
transport the Georgians, and they at
tracted wide attention by their college
yells and evidences of flhe holiday spirit.

treasury building, where they were shown
much attention. The white house was the
next point of interest visited. Here the
Georgians spent some time.

White House.
ROOSEVELT TO LEAVE
WASHINGTON AT ONCE
IS OFFICIAL PLANS
Inauguration Committee Has Flan"

Hundred Thousand Visitors —The
Program Outlined.
By Ralph Smith
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WASHINGTON. March I.—Mr. and Mrs.
WiUiam Howard Taft will move Into the ■
white house on March 3rd. They will
spend the night of that day in the exec
utive mansion as the guests of President
and Mrs. Roosevelt. This establishes an- ,
other Roosevelt precedent.
Mr. and Mrs. Taft will occupy the guest
chamber, the large sunny room on the
southwest corner of the building on the
second floor. This was the favorite room
of “Old Hickory" Jackson. 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.
Many Civic Organizations
About sixty civic organizations from
the District of Columbia. Georgia, 1111- ‘'J
nois. Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu
setts, Minnesota. New Jersey. New York, I
Ohio. Pennsylvania. Virginia and South
Carolina have asked for places In the pa
rade. Among these civic organizations
will be several Republican clubs of na
tional fame, such as the Hamilton club,
of Chicago, the Republic Club of New
York city; the Citizens’ Taft club, of Cln- j
clnnatl. and the American club, of Pitts
burg. 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
