ADVANCE ! V CARNESVILLE V. VOLUME V. NOCKS OUT TRUSTS Littlefield’s Anti-Monopoly Meas¬ ure Passes House. NOT A SINGLE YOTE AGAINST IT Democrats Offered Many Amendments, But All Were oVted Down. Bill Now Goes to Senate. i|A Washington special says: By a unanimous vote, 245 to nothing, the house Saturday passed the anti-trust bill. The closing chapter was devoid of excitement. For three hours the aiemocrats offered a series of amend¬ ments designed to place “teeth” in the pill, but they were either ruled out ot order or voted down by a strict party We. On only one vote were the political ‘anks broken. It was on an amend¬ ment offered by Mr. Thomas, republi¬ can, of Iowa, to make the filing of re¬ turns incumbent upon ail corpora¬ tions mandatory. On that amendment seven republicans voted with the democrats. The bill as passed requires corpora¬ tions “hereafter organized” to file re¬ turns covering its articles of Incorpo¬ ration, financial composition, condi¬ tion, etc.,' with the interstate com¬ merce commission on penalty of being restrained from engaging in interstate commerce, prescribed penalties for false returns, etc. The commission is - given authority in its discretion to call for similar returns from existing cor¬ porations doing an interstate business. . The commission is given power to compel the answers to questions and a fine not to exceed $5,000 is imposed for failure ^to obey the commission in this respect. Rebates by carriers is made punishable with a fine of not less than $1,000 and corporations vio¬ lating the provisions of this section are forbidden the use of the instru¬ mentalities of interstate commerce, i Carriers are prohibited from know¬ ingly transporting articles produced, manufactured or sold in violation of the Sherman act. In cases of prosecu¬ tions no person is to be excused from testifying on the ground that such tes¬ timony would tend to incriminate him, but for such testimony the witness is Hot to be prosecuted. The circuit courts are given purisdiction in cases of violation, and it is made the duty of the district attorneys to institute pro¬ ceedings to prevent violations and in¬ dividuals damaged by violations are given authority to sue. ANARCHIST RUBINO IN COURT. Being Tried in Brussels for Attempt¬ ing to Assassinate King Leopold. The trial, at Brussels, Belgium, of •Gennaro Rubino, the Italian anarchist, on the charge of attempting to assas¬ sinate King Leopold, November 15, by firing three shots at him while he was returning from the cathedral, was opened Friday in the assize court. Large crowds of people gathered in the vicinity of the court, but only the witnesses, lawyers and reporters were admitted. A detachment of po¬ lice of considerable strength main¬ tained order. Rubino replied volubly to all inter¬ rogations, and whenever he uttered the word “anarch,” he raised his voice as though exulting in his connection therew'th. The prisoner bitterly as¬ sailed modern society as the cause ot all evil, declaring he only attempted to take the life of the king because; the latter was the highest representa¬ tive of society. Rubino added that he had Intended going to Italy for the purpose of making an attempt on the life of the Italian monaren, but he did not have sufficient funds. During the prisoner’s examination it develop¬ ed he left the Italian army because his officers persecuted him. The prosecution included in the in¬ dictment a letter from Rubino to a so¬ cialist newspaper published in Lon¬ don, justifying the murder of Senor Canovas del Castillo, the Spanish pre¬ mier, and stating that he, Rubino, had contemplated killing King Edward November 25. In regard to his stay in England, Rubino said that it was a hospitable ountry and he decided not to make an attempt to kill King Edward, as that would bring trouble on his com- rades. He spent the money which he received from the Italian embassy for spying on anarchists, in purchas¬ ing a revolver, explaining that “an¬ archists ought to always be armed so as to be in readiness to kill the wild beasts of society.” He had hoped to be able to kill King Leopold, Prince Albert and a few cler- gymen. When the examination of the prisoner was concluded, the hearing of witnesses commenced. LIBERIA DONATES CASH. To Assist Emigration Movement to Africa by Bishop Turner. Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, Cla., treasurer of the Colored National Emi- gration and Commercial Association, organized in Tennessee, has received froai the republic of Liberia, Meat Africa, the sum of $25,000 to assist in the purchase of a steamship to ply be- tween the United States and West Af- *‘rica for the purpose of aiding emigra- tion and commerce from America. GRBWSOME EXHIBITS MADE. Shrouds Which Clothed Bootes of tne Dead are Produced at Trial of Grave Robbers. A special from Indianapolis says: There was a promise that there would be no lack of sensation during the tes¬ timony of Friday’s trial of Dr. J. C. Alexander in the grave robbing cases. A parcel in the possession of detec¬ tives was introduced as evidence. The parcel contained two shrouds found by the detectives in the basement of the Central college during one of the vis¬ its made to the place with search warrants. One of the shrouds was identified as the one made for” Mrs. Catherine Doerring, whose body was stolen from the German Catholic cem¬ etery. Samuel B. Martin colored, who was prominently identified with Cantrill in the grave robbing business, was the first witness up. He first met Dr. Alexander at the latter’s office last June, he said. The doctor told him that he wanted from seventeen to twenty subjects for dissection and would pay $30 each. Martin said that a- this meeting Dr. Alexander told Rufus Cantrill that he would watch the death returns at the board of health and would notify Can¬ trill. The first trip, he said, was fh July, when, with Cantrill and others, he went to the Anderson cemeteray and secured the body of Glenaore Gates and handed it over to the Cen¬ tral college. Next day Colonel Alex¬ ander paid him $10. His next trip was to the Ebenezer grave yard, when the boay of Wallace Johnson was secured. Dr. Alexander told him the subject was not a good one, because it was mangled by the cars, and Martin’received but $5. At the same grave yard he assisted i * getting the body of Johnson Stilz, for which Dr. Alexander paid him $8. In addition to these bodies Martin said he got a body at the insane hospital grave yard, which Dr. Alexander said was a good subject, but witness said he did not remember how much mon¬ ey -was paid for it. Witness assisted in raising body of Rose Neidelinger at the cemetery near Traders’ Point. On another occasion Martin and' others went, to a cemetery, but were chased away. REQUEST OF ALLIES REFUSED. President Roosevelt Sbys at Job of Ar¬ bitrator in the Venezuelan Entanglement. After giving the best part of the day Friday to a consideration of the unofficial request from the allies that he act as arbiter upon the different points remaining in dispute between Bowen and the powers. President Roosevelt has decided it will be best that he do not act in that capacity. This decision means that the ques¬ tion of preferential treatment will go to The Hague tribunal for its decision. Herbert Angered. The confirmation of the London dis¬ patch to the effect that lur. Bowen and the British ambassador at their interview Monday had a somewhat heated argument, was obtained in Washington Friday. Indeed, it is stated that should the character of the cablegrams mat the’ British ambassador has oeen sending to his government regarding the atti¬ tude of Minister Bowen become pub¬ lic, the country would be furnished with sensational diplomatic incidents, it is the opinion of the Venezuelan negotiators other than the British am¬ bassador, that the latter is directly re¬ sponsible for the abrupt breaking off oi negotiations with Mr. Bowen. It is the opinion in official circles at Washington that Minister Bowen has an absolute right, acting for Ven¬ ezuela, of course to object to Presi¬ dent Roosevelt’s acting as arbitrator. To do so would cause pain to i.ir. Bow¬ en, whose admiration for Mr. Roose¬ velt is well known, but he feels obliged to keep well in mind the fact that he is here not as an American, but as a representative of Venezuela. The British ambassador’s conduct has resulted in several important de¬ tails of the momentous comerence of Monday last leaking out and these aro now substantiated by the other nego¬ tiators present. FOUR DEAD IN WRECK. Disastrous Head-On Collision Between Freight Trains in New Mexico.

A SENSATION IN WASHINGTON When Asked for Explanation, Man of Millions Was Silent—President May. Cal I Extra Session of Congress. A Washington special says: It can be stated on good authority that unless anti-trust legislation, at least satisfac¬ tory to the administraion, is enaced at the present session, President Roosevelt, on the 5th of March, will call an extraordinary session of the fifty-eighth congress. The president himself has told members of congress of his desire and of his determination in this regard. It is understood that the announcement was direct and un¬ qualified. It is further stated that the determi¬ nation of the president was reached only after careful consideration of the strenuous efforts that are being made to defeat any anti-trust legislation by ; congress. These efforts have covered 'a wide range. They were character¬ ized Saturday by one prominent repub¬ lican leader, to quote him directly, “as the most remarkable of which I have had personal knowledge during my public life.” These efforts culminated, it is now declared, in direct appeals from the Standard Oil Company and through its president, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, to members of the senate not to enact any anti-trust legislation at this time. Six Senators Warned. No less tnan six United States sena¬ tors have received telegrams signer “John D. Rockefeller,’' urging that no anti-trust legislation be enacted. It has not been possible to obtain a copy of these dispatches, which, it can be said, are practically identical. Substan¬ tially they read as follows. “We are opposed to any anti¬ trust legislation. Our counsel, Mr. will see you. It must be stopped.” As stated, these telegrams (and it must be clear that only the substance and not the exact wording is given hero) were signed “John D. Rockefel¬ ler.” Friday morning one of the counsel of the Standard Oil Company arrived in Washington and called immediately upon members of the senate, as indi¬ cated in the telegrams. He did not re¬ main long. Scarcely had he made known his business than he was in¬ formed, a bit curtly, that his presence was undesirable and lie left with an in¬ timation that lie would do better to return to New York. During the afternoon information concerning tho receipt, of the messages reached the house, some of the promi¬ nent. representatives learning the gist of the dispatches. Then it became known that this was not the first time the Standard Oil Company, through Its attorneys, had endeavored to influ¬ ence legislation in congress at this session. Rockefeller is Silent. A New York special says: John I). Rockefeller was seen at his house, No. 4 West Fifty-fourth street, late Satur¬ day afternoon. He appeared to bo wholly unaffected by the startling neas froffi Washington that he had been attempting to influence senators to defeat the Nelson publicity amend¬ ment to the department of commerce bill. “The people desire to know whether the dispatches sent to certain senators of the United States, bearing your name, are authentic ” Mr. Rockefeller was asked. “I have nothing to say,” was the calm rejoinder. “Can you refer me to anybody who can speak for you?” asked the corre¬ spondent. “I do not wish to say anything what¬ ever,” replied the Standard Oil mag¬ nate. Passed Second Reading. Late Friday night the child labor hill that passed the senate some days ago, passed the second reading in the South Carolina house by a majority of thirteen. TELEPHONE COMPANY SOLD. The Standard, at Atlanta, Disposed of by Order of Court. At $200,000, which was the itoset price fixed by the United States court, the Atlanta, Ga., Standard Telephone company’s property was sold to Rob- ert Alexander, trustee,-senior member of the prominent Philadelphia law firm, Alexander & McGill. The sale, which was the result ol' the foreclosure of the mortgage in tho hands of the City Trust Sale Deposit and Surety company, of Philadelphia, the amount being $600,000 was con¬ ducted before the door of the Fulton county court house Thursday at noon. ROOSEVELT GETS INVITATION. To Unveiling of Monument to Mary- land Soldiers at Chickamauga.

' mmm PENSION EXSLAVES Is Object of Bill Introduced by Senator Mark Hanna. IS SAME OLD TIME MEASURE Supposed by Many to be the First Move of Ohio Senator’s Campaign for the Next Presidential Nomination. Senator Mark Hanna, of Ohio, in¬ troduced in the senato Wednesday a bill to provide pensions for former slaves. This bill provides that ex¬ slaves over 70 years of age shall re¬ ceive a bounty of $500 and a pension of $15 a month; those between 60 and 70, a bounty of $300 and a pension of $12 a month; those between 50 and 60 a bounty of $100 and a pension of $8 a month; those under. 50 years shall be entitled to receive $4 per month until they are 50 years old, when they shall receive $8 per month. Another section of the bill says: “That relations or others who may be charged with the support of aged or infirm persons released from involun¬ tary servitude shall be entitled to find receive the monthly pension awarded to such aged or infirm persons in whole or in part upon showing to the satisfaction of the secretary of the in¬ terior that such support is afforded in a humane and becoming manner, the amount of such payment being under the control and direction oi the secre¬ tary aforesaid.” This is a well known old-time bill in the hails of legislation, and Senator Hanna has marked upon the bill the “by request” which is usually employ¬ ed by statesmen when they are du¬ bious about standing sponsor for the measure they have introduced. The slave pension has its special champion in a man n/med l Vaughn, who recently organized in Was’ningtcn what he calls the liberty party, with pensions for slaves as its principal platform. Vaughn is now presumed to be somewhere in the south seeking contributions of 25 cents upon each of tne prospective pensioners. At least that is what some people were discovered doing several years ago, when a big scandal was unearthed in this connection. It was discovered that, these per¬ sons has played upon the credulity of the ex-slaves throughout the south to the extent that something like $200,- 000 had been collected in assessments of 25 cents each upon the promise that a bounty and pension awaited each'former slave just as soon as the bill “reached a third reading,” which was represented to be a certainty of the very near future. An investigation was made and Com¬ missioner of Pensions Evans issued a public statement to the effect that such a law was practically impossible and explained the misleading nature of the statement that the bill had “passed to a second reading.” The postmaster general also took a hand in U*e fight in behalf of the misguided contributors to the fund and issued a general order prohibiting the trans¬ mission of the circulars through the avails. For some time thereafter nothing was heard of the slave pension scheme. Several weeks ago a deputation of colored men went to the white house to secure from President Roosevelt his indorsment of this slave pension proposition. The president turned them down so hard that the leader of the deputation went from the white house swearing vengeance upon Presi¬ dent Roosevelt and declariay^ that they could control 300,000 votes in the close states of the north, which would be thrown against Roosevelt if he were the republican candidate in 3904. Lat¬ er this defiance was repudiated by others active in the thowement. The fact that Senator Hanna has ouJ 1 come as its chief supporter at this time is regarded as highly significant. Orr is Made Vice President. J. K. Orr, of Atlanta, was elected vice president of the National Shoe Wholesalers’ Association at its first, annual convention in Boston. THE SAME OLD FIGHT. Opponents of Southern Fast Mail Once More Knocked Out. A Washington dispatch nays: After a war of words in which personalities figured in some degree, the house laid Wednesday afternoon voted to retain in the postoffice appropriation bill the item of $140,000 for special mail facil¬ ities through the south.

Because of this annual ap¬ propriation the south is given special mail facilities on a par with those of other parts of the country. NEGROES TO HOLD CONFERENCE.

SPAT OVER STATEHOOD BILL Gallinger and Beveridge Have Lively Exchange of Verbal ‘‘Hot Air" on Floor of the Senate. A Washington special says: To- ward the tad of the session of the sen¬ ate Wednesday there was a lively ex¬ change of words between Mr. Gallinger and Mr. Beveridge. The former de¬ clared in unmistakable terms that Mr. Beveridge and his followers on the statehood hill were prolonging the de¬ bate in pursuance of a “deliberate and premeditated system of obstruction.” The spirited colloquy arose between Messrs. Gallinger and Beveridge dur¬ ing the coitse of a speech by Mr. Kean, in opposition to the statehood bill. The question under discusi'.sc'n was the unequal representation in congress enjoyed by certain slates. Mr. Gallin¬ ger remarked that Mr. Beveridge was simply prolonging the debate by re¬ ferring to it. “i deny the right of the senator,” answered Mr. Beveridge, “when a sen¬ ator is engaging in debate here to de¬ scribe any purpose which he may have.” “I mil take the right,” quickly re¬ torted Mr. Gallinger, “to say that this is a deliberate and premeditated sys¬ tem of obstruction.” “We had the debate out on that subject the other day,,” said Mr. Bev¬ eridge, “and I think the senate and. the country understand where the re a! obstruction is.” “I think it does” sarcastically re¬ marked Mr. Gallinger. ALEXANDDRA CURBS EDWARD. Owing to Queen’s Jealousy King Will Not Attend a House Party. A London special says. All England is gossiping over the announcement made at V iudsor Wednesday that King Edward will be unable to at- tend the house party of the duKG -and duchess of Devonshire at the duke’s seat in Chatsworth, this week, owing to a feverish cold, and the subsequent appearance of his majesty, apparently in perfect health, when he planted a commemorative tree in the castle park. To give coilor to (he reported ill¬ ness, however, Sir Francis Laliing, the king’s physician, was called in, and said he had a slight touch of influenza. It is declared that no secret is inane at Windsor of the fact that the king’s dcterminal ion not to attend the ’party was due to Queen Alexandra’s vigor¬ ous objection (amounting to a real quarrel), to the presence in the list oi guests submitted bytheduke of Devon¬ shire of the names of certain ladies who are not received at court, but whose society the king has always found particularly agreeahLe.

SAYS THE NEGRO IS DOOMED Declares White Men Oniy Will Hold Office and that Amendments to the Constitution Have Proven Utter Failures. At the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the Union League Club at New York Friday night Secretary of War Root made ha address, in which he said: “After the civil war the great ques¬ tion was, ‘What shall we do with the black man?’ and the answer was ‘Give him citizenship, equal rights and th-a franchise and he will rise. Three amendments were added to the const ,i!wikuv, jvnd I l’ear we will have to f ace the conclusion that the expe- rirr iC »nt has failed. “The suffrage has been taken away f/G'n the negro ,and in many of tne southern states the blaca man no longer -has the right of suffrage. “A curious development has been seen within the past year. President Roosevelt has appointed fewer bla'ek men than President McKinley did, and there are today fewer black men holding office than when McKinley died. Yet loud cries are to be heard in the south about President Rouse- policy in appointing black men t() 0 jjj ce t ; ie 80 uih.

Yet. the invitation of tile" president to* these men was the signal for an out- evy of a thousand papers in tne south that the whites were being insulted. “I don't want to argue this question. I am certainly showing that we have (o face a new change of feeling in .the south, that the black man is de¬ nied the right to aspire to the highest ( dignity which was formerly unques¬ tioned 5s now questioned, in a short time the white man will succeed in excluding the black man from all of¬ fices in the southern states, “We can never throw off ,.ie respon¬ sibility that rests on'our people for the velfare of these biacli people that we held in slavery for so many gener¬ ations. “Now that the first attempt has failed, the question is what to do, and it should take the greatest thought ol he greatest minds of the country," police report vetoed.
