AHTI-LYNCH LAW
GALLINGER URGES
New Hampshire Senator
Wants Investigation.
RESOLUTION IS PASSED OVER
Declares He Has No Intention of
Precipitating Sectional Contro
versy, as Crime Is National.
A Washington special says: Soon
alter the senate convened Monday, Mr.
Gallinger, of New Hampshire, ottered a
resolution providing that the Judiciary
committee of the senate should make
an investigation into the subject of
lynching in the United States with a
view of ascertaining whether there is
any remedy tor them.
Mr. Gallinger said be Introduced the
resolution in ftfll view of the fact
that be might be charged with precipi
tating a sectional controversy, though
nothing was further from his thoughts.
He said lynebings were not confined to
the south. Horrible cases bad occur
red In the north and white men os
well as black had been the victims.
Throughout the country intense inter
est was manifested in the subject. Ho
thought it imperative that the judi
ciary committee should take some ac
tion upon the subject.
During the past ten years 2,658
lynchings had occurred in the United
States. Of these 121 had occurred in
tho south and 14 In the north, the re
mainder in other parts of the coun
try. If the strong :ypi of the law
could reach out to prevent such oc
currences, he deemed it desirable that
ft do eo. -
He read the Associated Press account
of tho burning of a negro in Texas a
few days ago. He said history did not
furnish a more fiendish instance of
mob wrath, and. Fox’s Book of Mar
tyrs was tame In* corparlson. The
whole wretched business, he said, was
a disgrace to American manhood and
in the light of which the alleged atroc
ities in the Philippines paled Into in
significance. The Spanish inquisition
did not furnish a case exceeding that
one in inhumanity. He apprehended
that it would be said that the Federal
government was powerless and that
the states had exclusive jurisdiction.
If so, the American people desired to
know it. Public sentiment should be
aroused to prevent such Inhuman
atrocities.
Mr. Culberson, of Texas, presented
and had read an account of a lynching
in Kansas, saying that he wanted it
shnwn that the crime of lynching was
confined to no state or section. He
said be hoped the New Hampshire
senator woqld not single out his state
when bo wanted to bring such cases
before tho senate.
After remarks by Mr. Hoar upon
the constitutional feature of the case,
the resolution went over.
The Philippine bill was then taken
up, and Mr, Patterson, of Colorado,
made a speech- In opposition to It 1 .
In beginning, Mr. Patterson read ex
tracts from a report of a ministers’
meeting bold recently in Boston in the
course of which the minister stated
that the American flag had been dis
graced In the Philippines by the com
mission of tragedies and horrors in
• the island, although no special attack
was made upon the president and sec
retary of war.
Mr. Patterson referred to the edlto-
als from tho Denver News, which Aft-.
Forakcr had read in the courso of his
speech. These editorials strongly
urged tho retention of the Philippine
islands and advocated the govern
ment’s policy as to tbo Islands. Mr.
Patterson, said he, wa6 responsible
tor the utterances of the Denver News
then and now. He said he was a tpyo
of hundreds of thousands of American
people who had held views similar to
those expressed in the Denver News
editorials and subsequently had
changed those views.
Mr. Patterson declared that after
the capture of Manila, “a censored
press, deliberately guided by the pow
ers In Washington, had misrepresent
ed the situation in the Philippines.”

BOOT ASSUMES BLAME.
Says He i* Responsible For AUef Gen.
Wood’s Expenditures.
-Secretary Root,Tuesday afternoon
stated he desired It understood that
he assumes full responsibility for all
of the expenditures made by Governor
Wood in Cuba.

nouncement that there would probably
be a demand from congress for a full
accounting, especially in view of the

been drawing a salary of over $1,300
a month, while his pay as brigadier

MILES.AND DEWEY
YICTIMS OF SNUB
Incident of Dinner On
French Battleship.
SLEECHES WERE NOT “SPOKE”
Admiral and General Were Pre
pared 'to Answer to Toasts
But Were Shut Off!
A Washington special says: Friends
of General Miles and Admiral Dewey
declare the worst snub the two officers
have received since they fell Into dis
favor with the administration was ad
ministered during the recent dinner
which was given on board the French
battleship Gaulols by M. Cambon,' the
French ambassador.
In preparing its program the French
embassy had arranged that when.Gen
eral Brugere toasted the American ar
my General Miles was to toast the val
or of the French army and that when
Admiral Fourier felicitated the Ameri
can navy Admiral Dewey was to speak
of the glory of tho French service,
Both officers were notified and prompt;
iy prepared addresses. Lieutenant H.
H. Whitney was detailed to accompany
General - Miles anjJ have the copy of
his speech ready for distribution to
tho press, and Lieutenant Nathan Sar
gent was to perform similar duties for
Admiral Dewey. Then these two mem
bers of the staff were unexpectedly cut
out of the program and the general
and admiral were left without aids.
For some reason not explained “the
higher authorities” determined that
General Miles and Admiral Dewey
were not to respond to the toasts, but
that the secretary of war and the sec
retary of the navy were to have that
honor. The committee was so inform
ed, but failed to tell the admiral and
general, so that when the party sat
at the tabic of the Gaulols both Gen
eral Miles and Admiral Dewey awaited
their turn. It never came. Secretary
Root rose when the French general
spoke and Secretary Moody followed
the French admiral.

drink to President Loubet, of France.
This toast was drank standing. Then
Mr. Low proposed a toast to General
Brugere and his party.
General Brugere thanked the mayor
briefly* He referred to "the grand' and
and enthusiastic reception the French
delegation have received la this city
and county,” and said they would: take
home with them memories that would
take a long time to obliterate. He end
ed by proposing the toast of the mayor
and the city.
Vice Admiral Fournier proposed "the
ladies” In a speech, which was fre
quently applauded. He said that the
women were the flowers of France and
that the American women were the
crowning glory of this vigorous and.
progressive nation.

ANSWER <F FUGlilVES.
Attorney Ftr Gay nor anti Green lays
3Isey Were Illegally Arrested.
A special from Quebec says: t. A.
Taschereau, counsel for Colonel Gay-
nor and'Captain Greene, has filed his
answer to Detective Carpenter's affi
davit produced in the supreme court
last week. Besides denying the alle
gations of the affidavit in general,
counsel for the accused denies that
Carpenter was a dominion or provin
cial police officer, and says he bad no
authority'whatever to serve the war
rant Issued by Magistrate La Fon
taine; that the warrant was Illegal;
that Carpenter had arrested the ac
cused in an Illegal manner and had
carried.them away by force to Mon
treal on board a steamer Illegally
leased for that purpose, and after hav
ing deceived the petitioners..

ICEMAN’S SLICK TRICK.
Anti-Trust Manager “Worked”' a
( oniblne in New Orleans.
Brilliant Scheme Against Opponent's:
The light being made against the
ice trust at New Orleans has developed
an extraordinary turn. The trust has
so»e opposition, among which is the
ice plant at Thibodeaux, a small town
near by, which has been shipping ice
to the city and selling it at $4 per ton,
whereas the trust sells ice there at $6
per ton.
The trust concluded to. run the Thib
odeaux plant out of business and has
been shipping ice to Thibodeaux and
selling it there delivered at 10c per
hundred, or $2 per ton. '
It now develops that Manager Clau-
d'et, of the Thibodeaux ice plant, has
been quietly buying up all the trust's
product at Thibodeaux at $2 per ton
and re-shipping it back to New Orleans
and selling it again on the trust’s own
territory at $4 per ton, twice what tho
trust is getting for its product in Thib
odeaux and $2 per ton less than the
trust gets its ice in New Orleans.
