§§P£s§|9 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.” SUSPENSION IN PA YOB El». rest Diggers In West Virginia Hay neelde Is Mop Work.

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. Frenchmen at Tomb of Grant..

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.
