W. W. DEWS,
Radical Steps Will Be Taken by Club
and Thousands of Pamphlets Distrib
uted—President Roosevelt Was For.
merly Vice President
Now York, April 9—The members of
the Union League club, of tills city,
will take radical steps, It is said,
favoring negro suffrage in tho south
at their April meeting, which occurs
tonight.
In a word, congress will be appealed
to to deal with the question along the
line of a radical reduction of repre
sentation of the southern states in
congress.
It Is just a year ago that the Union
League club was divided on the ques
tion of discharging negro attendants.
The negro servants were kept by a
Tots of 3 to 1 after a stormy session.
The report of the club committee
on political reform, which Is expected
to precede the action favoring negro
sulfrago, will. It Is believed, create a
sensation In the southern states. Af
ter reciting that southern states havo
taken steps to circumvent national leg
islation giving suffrage to negroes, the
report recommend* that congress be
asked to tako up tho question without
a moment's delay.
It recommends also that this body
be asked to cut down southern repre
sentation, and that a large sum of
money be appropriated to test the va
lidity of the recently adopted constitu
tions in Alabama. Virginia and other
'states in the south.
Tho ablest counsel in this country
will' bo employed to prepare and argue
theso test eases regarding the consti
tutions mentioned. In addition to the
sums appropriated, it is proposed to
ask the Individual members of the club
to contribute.
One of the prime movers in this
movement is said to be former Secre
tary of the Interior Cornelius N. Bliss.
The club is expected to adopt reso
lutions following the adoption of the
committee's report. Ten thousand
copies of these resolutions will be cir
culated to state senators, to prominent
churchmen and those In authority
everywhere.
President Roosevelt was vice presi
dent of the club In 1899. He is still
prominent in Its councils.
General Horace Porter, Joseph H.
Choate, John Hay and George Cabot
Ward have also acted as presidents
tho club at different times. The
Hamilton Fish and William M.
Evarta also had that distinction in
their lifetime. So has Senator Chaun-
M. Depew.
John D. Rockefeller, J. Plerpont
Morgan and Andrew Carnegie are
members of tho club, the two latter
being on the governing committee. The
of members Includes also William
Sloane, George F. Baker, White-
Reid, John Jacob Astor, D. O.
Mills and many other prominent men.

Kansas City, April 9.—Mrs. Aman
da Williams who came here recently
from Texas, shot and fatally wounded
Carroll Nix, of Fayetteville, Ark.,
while the latter was asleep In his
room at 410 West Ninth street, early
today. At the police station later
she refused to talk.
Mrs. Williams and Nix were form
erly sweethearts. The woman was
deserted by her husband some tlmo
ago In a Texaa town and until recent
ly bad been in Fayetteville. Nix, It
appears, came to Kansas City a few
days ago to escape the woman who
had' followed him, apparently Intent
on taking his life. As Nix lay asleep
Mrs. Williams entered his room at 6:30
o'clock unknown to any other occu
pants of {he bouso and began firing
at him. Tho first shot struck him
on the nose, a second hit him In the
cheek, a third In tho groin and a
fourth grazed his left arm. The fifth
bullet, tho last In the- revolver, went
wild. Mrs. Williams submitted to
arrest quietly. Nix; who was taken
to the hospital in a dying condition,
said that he had come to Kansas City
a few days ago to get away from tho
woman and said that ho did not know
sho was in the city. Mrs. Williams is
39 years old and Nix is 29.
The shooting occurred In tho next
room to that occupied by Bud Taylor,
from the window of which the latter
two years ago shot and killed his
sweetheart, Ruth Nollard, with a rifle,
Later Mra. Williams consented to
talk. She said she had left Fayette
ville on Monday last to follow Nix,
who had passed her tho day previous.
She met him here two days ago, she
asserted, but he had evadod her. Mrs.
Williams admitted frankly that tbo
shooting was prompted by Jealousy.
She said she had been deserted by her
husband In Texas a year ago and- that
tbo acquaintance with Nix, whom she
had known for years, was renewed.
Nix was a farmer.
Mrs. Williams, later. In a statement
to the prosecutor, admitted that she
had purchased the revolver with which
she shot Nix a month ago, and that
sho had planned tho shooting deltber.

but later in her coll becamo hysteri
cal and expressed extreme sorrow for
her deed.
The woman says her husband Is Jas,
