PROTESTANTS TH HEM KNIEHTS GOLIHIS OATHS Committee Is Named to Com pare Pledges With Those Printed by Watson AUGUSTA. Ga.. Aug. 30.- Following the issuance at * cart by Thomas E. Watson in which he MF that he attack ed Railroad Commissioner Joseph F. Gray in AUartfa last week because Gray was a Knfght of Columbus and bad been instrumental tn Watson’s arrest by the postoffice officials, and in which Mat son dared the Knights of Columbus to publish the “oath members of the fourth degree take.” prominent officers and members of the organisation, have pub licly agreed to take up Watson’s chal • long© and submit all pledges of the or ganisation to a committee. The committee. before which the k pledges will be revealed, will consist of ministers and pastors of the Protestant denomination in August. The commit tee agrees that if the committee shall find any of the pledges similar to the so-called "oaths” published by Watson, the organisation agrees to give 11,000 to any charity Watson may name. In his card published Monday Watson declared the alleged Knights of Colum bus "oath.” he has published several times was taken from a Catholic book let published in Washington, and was used by him "in good faith.” He dared the organisation to publish the “oath members of the fourth degree take.” Replying to Watson’s card. Victor J. Dorr, supreme knight, and some thirty members of the organisation who are among the most prominent men In the city, publicly agree to take up Watson’s challenge. The organisation has selected a com mittee composed of Rev. Howard T. Cree, pastor of the First Christian church; Rev. Horace M- Dubose, pastor of St. John’s Methodist church, and Rev. Ashby M. Jones, pastor of the. First Bap tist church, to whom they will submit all pledges taken by the Knights of Co lumbus. In reference to Watson’s charge that the organisation has a military branch In the fourth degree, the organisation’s cart says the “rifle and bayonet" body consists of a uniform of dress suit, bilk hat and a "tin sword similar to that used by the Masona Knights of Pythias and other organisations.” The fact that a secret order’s pledges are to be submitted to an outside com mittee for inspection is attracting quite a little attention. . SAYS WESTERN STATES ARE SOLID FOR WILSON (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MONTGOMERY. Ala., Aug. Harry H. Collier, a former Montgomery man who is a candidate for lieutenant-gov ernor of Washington, is attending a re union of the Collier family here. Mr. Collier is seeking’the Democratic nomination for the office. His two oppo nents live at Spokane, while his home is at Tacoma. He declares that the Dem ocrats will elect the state ticket in Wash ington and that the western states will give majorities for Woodrow Wilson. “I concede five states to Taft,” de clared Mr. Collier, “and give nothing to Roosevelt and his party. If Senator Nel son comes out * for 'Fnftia Jdinnesota. Wilson will get the state. If he favors Roosevelt Roosevelt may get a majority. Democrats are fighting among them selves in California and Roosevelt may get the electoral vote of the state. Clark men are opposing Wilson and this may cause a serious breach. Hiram Johnson, nominee for vice president on Roosevelt’s ' ticket Is popular and he will get some votes for the new party." Woman suffrage has made Washington what it is. believes Mr. Collier. He says that the granting of the ballot to women has transferred political caucuses from the back room of the saloon to the fire side.

The consequence is. every store in town is now selling it, as it has become a household necessity in many homea “I’m sure I prescribe Postum as often as any one remedy in the Materia Med ina—in almost every case of indigestion and nervousness I treat, and with the best- results. "When I once introduce it into a fam ily It is quite sure to remain. I shall continue to use it’and prescribe it in families where I practice.

Aug. 20.—For nearly two hours today the house listened to a surprising and acrimonious debate be tween Representative Rainey, of Illi nois, Democrat, and Representative Austin, of Tennessee. Republican, in which each charged the other with con sorting with "waterpower trust" lobby ists and misstating facts. So bitter was the feeling between the two men that the sergeant-at-arms sccupied a seat in a strategic position. Certain waterpower site legislation proposed by Mr. Austin, Mr. Rainey in sinuated, was drawn in the Interest of the "waterpower trust.” He had pre viously announced his intention of blocking it. Mr. Rainey today read from a careful ly prepared manuscript seeking to con nect Mr. Austin directly with the trust. The Tennessean replied extemporane ously and with bitter emphasis, brand ing the charges made against him as "untruthful statements." The house took no action. In the recent colloquy Mr. Rainey said Mr. Austin had declared that if he. as a representative, had favored the water power trust he would con sider he had disgraced himself, and if Mr. Rainey could produce proof of his guilt he would resign. TENNESSEE POWER. “I do not ask the gentleman to re sign from this body," said Mr. Rainey today, delivering a carefully prepared speech. "I do not think, however, that the cause of water power conservation In Tennessee would suffer If the gen tleman’s connection with the house would cease. The gentleman will be missed if he resigns, however, by wa ter power lobbyists. But those Inter ested In water power conservation »<ill not regret his absence from this body.” Recently Mr. Rainey objected to bills by Mr. Austin to provide for 17 dams In Tennessee, two of which were to be In the congressional district of a colleague. Representative Sells, who knew nothing of the bills until after the subject had been discussed In the house, according to Mr. Rainey. MR. RAINEY’S CHARGES. Mr. Rainey charged that under the Austin bills and the omnlbua dam bill the Tennessee hydro-electric com pany was to have a franchise to 1 erect four dams in,the Clinch river, one dam In the Powell river; the Clinch River Power company was to erect another dam In the Clinch river and five Mor-< rlstown. Tenn., citizens were to erect two dams In the Clinch river, a "har mony remarkable enough to excite sus picion," added Mr. Rainey. He refer red to what he called the "absolute bad faith of all these Tennessee enter prises.” and said he “knew of.no bet ter Illustration” as to what unscrupu lous water power manipulators can do with a water power proposition than the illustration furnished by the Knoxville Power company.

It is for this measure that the traveling men of Georgia have been strenuously fighting. Governor Brown bases*his veto upon the following points. Section 1 of the bill provided that "it shall not be necessary to exchange the mileage—for a ticket, and contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Sec tion X of the United States constitu tion says "No state shall pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts." “Section I of this bill, therefore. Is in violation* of the organic law of the land, and is thus inevitably invalid,” says the governor In his written state ment of the veto. Again, says the governor, the very designation of "common carriers” which the bill applies to the railroads implies the requirement to protect equal rights and accord equal privi leges to all; “whereas, this bill pro vides that he who gets the reduced rates shall have an advantage in con venience, etc., over all passengers pay ing the maximum rates.” QUOTES DECISION. Governor Brown quotes the decision of the supreme court of the United States In the case of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway com pany vs. Smith, 175 U.
