By R. M. Larner.
Washington, Nov. 16.—As the as
sembling of Congress approaches, the
question arises in political circles.
What action does the President in
tend to take in the now famous Crum
case’"
U r . Crum is the negro who has so
frequently been nominated Collector of
the port of Charleston, but has never
been confirmed by the Senate. The
President insists in putting it up to
the Senate to either confirm or reject
Crum, and in the meantime Crum is
holding down the office, but serving
without pay. The Controller of the
Treasury has decided that Crum is
not allowed to draw salary until he is
confirmed.
For nearly four years Crum has been
performing the duties of Collector at
the port of Charleston, under a series
of continuous appointments made by
President Roosevelt. Regularly, Col
lector Crum, in his quarterly estimates
for salary , submitted to the Secretary
of the Treasury, has inserted the
amount of his own salary. With equal
regularity the accounting officers of
the Treasury have stricken out that
item, so that up to date Crum, has not
drawn a cent of salary for such du
ties as he may have performed.
When Crum was first appointed the
fees of the office entitled the collector
to a salary of about $1,700 per annum.
This year the transfactions at that port
fell off, so that under ordinary condi
tions the collector's salary would be
about $1,300.
It is understood by those who pro
fess to be familiar with the President’s
intentions regarding this extraordinary
case, that he does not propose with
drawing the nomination of Crum sim
ply because of his color. If the Senate
rejects his confirmation, anew name
will be sent to the Senate. When the
Crum case was last considered by the
Ssnate Committee on Commerce, it was
reported favorably, by a strict party
vote. The Democrats succeeded in pre
venting a vote at the close of the fast
session, and Crum was at once given a
recess appointment, under which he is
now administering the office, confident
that he will eventually be compensat
ed in full for his services, by special
act or otherwise.

SOCIETY WAS IN FORCE
AT THE HORSE SHOW.
Mow the Event* Were Decided in
the Big Arena.
New York, Nov. 16.—The crowd at
the horse show In Madison Square
Garden to-day was the largest of the
present meeting. In the afternoon
nearly all the boxes were filled with
fashionably dressed women, and 10,000
persons witnessed the exhibition.
The evening attendance was the
largest and most brilliant so far this
week. The attraction was the Wal
dorf-Astoria cup for gig horses, and
to see this event society arrived early.
The boxes were well filled and the
gowns of the women proved one of
the leading attractions to the thou
sands who thronged the balconies.
The most important prize awarded
this week, the challenge cup, went to
Mr. Jordan’s black hackney stallion,
Gentleman John. As this horse won
the cup last year, to-day's victory gives
Mr. Jordan permanent possession of
the trophy.
Lord Brilliant, Mrs. John Gerken’s
chestnut gelding, one of last year's
blue ribbon winners, won first honors
in the class for horses attached to
runabouts over Mrs. J. B. M. Gros
venor’s horse, Elevation, and Alfred
G. Vanderbilt’s Lady Katherine, out
of a field of twenty competitors. An
interesting event was the four-in-hand
contest between Mrs. Grosvenor and
Miss Ella S. Ross of England, which
was won by the former.
The Corinthian class of jumpers was
won by Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, Jr.,
with Kingsman.
Eben D. Jordan has won the most
prizes this week. His horses have
taken ten blue ribbons, three seconds
and one third.
THREE MET DE*ATH
BY INHALING GAS.
in Oue of the Case* Only Was There
Evidence of Suicide.
New York, Nov. 16. —Three persons
are dead and another is at a hospital
in a serious condition as a result of
inhaling illuminating gas to-day. In
only one case was there anything to
indicate that the victim had invited
death.
After eking out a wretched existence
for several months past, ill, unable to
work and dependent upon the charity
of her neighbors, Mrs. Rosa Rosen
berger locked herself into her little
basement room in the rear of an East
Side tenement, opened half a dozen
gas jets and lay down to die. Her
body was found by the Janitress of
the building.
Frederick Brandt, who called himself
a “professor of astrology,’’ turned on
the gas by accident in his lodging in
West Forty-second street and lost his
life.
Accidental disconnections of a tube
from the gas stove in his room on
East Thirty-seventh street is supposed
to have been responsible for the death
of William Coffey, a roofer. Coffey
had been dead for hours when his
body was found.
Mrs. Mary Higgins, a domestic, was
overcome by gas fumes in a furnished
room in the East Side. She is now'
at a hospital and will probably re
cover, but her condition is critical.
negrcTboy hanged
IN CONNECTICUT.
Paid the Penalty for Murder He
Committed in August.
Wethersfield, Conn., Nov. 17—Joseph
Watson, the 18-year-old colored boy
who murdered Henry Osborne of Hart
ford, last August, paid the penalty for
his crime this morning when he was
put to death by hanging on the gal
lows in the state prison. The drop
was sprung at 12:09 o’clock and at
12:15 Dr. Fox, the prison physician,
declared him dead.
The reflex muscular action shown by
Watson after the drop was sprung
was remarkable. While suspended in
the air and apparently after his neck
had been broken, he clasped his hands,
then drew them apart and finally let
them drop to his side.
Shortly before midnight the sacra
ment was administered to the con
demned boy and later he knelt in pray
er with his spiritual adviser, the Rev.
A. A. Crook, of Hartford.
UP GO THEPRICES OF
BUILDING MATERIALS.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 16.—The
Southern Yellow Pine, Sash. Door and
Blind Manufacturers’ Association held
a lengthy executive meeting here to
day, the result of which will be, it is
understood, an advance In the prices
of building supplies manufactured by
the firms within the association.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize Us value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of It the better; It is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present
In the stomach and Intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Im
proves the complexion. It whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; It
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggist* sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money Is In Stuart’s Charcoal Lozen
ges- they are composed of the finest
powdered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics In tablet form or
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much Improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it Is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of
the benefit* of charcoal, says: “I ad
vise Btuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas In stomach
and bowels, and to clear the com
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throst. I also believe the liver Is
greatly benefited by the dally use of
them; they cost but 25 cent* a box at
drug stores, and although In some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be
lieve 1 get more and better charcoal
in Btuart’s Charcoal lsenge than In
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.”
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1904

CONTESTED SEATS
SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS
WHO WEST THROUGH THE FORM

gS.OOO Allowed in Contented Elec
tion*—Few Contest* Likely to He

Large Republican Majority in the
House—Cabinet Maker*, Tariff Re
visionists and “Trust Musters’’
Are Getting Rosy,
By R. M. Larner.
Washington, Nov. 16.—The large Re
publican majority in the next House
of Representatives is apt to have a
disappointing effect upon Southern Re
publicans, who went through the form
of running for Congress, in order to
lay claim to the $2,000 allowed in each
contest. If the Republican margin in
the next House had been very narrow,
it is probable that some of the South
ern contested election eases would be
decided against the Democratic mem
ber-elect. As the Republicans have
more majority than Speaker Cannon
knows what to do with, it is not prob
able that one-half of the contests
contemplated, will be entertained.
It is an old game the Southern Re
publicans have been playing success
fully for a number of years, under in
spiration. it is believed, from crafty
political lawyers at Washington. Since
the close of the Civil War there has
hardly been a Congress without a con
tested election case from the Charles
ton district. The Republican contest
ants have rarely been able to convince
a Republican House of the justice of
these chronic contests, but they are
made just the same, every two years,
because of that tempting allowance of
$2,000.
President Roosevelt may have to re
vive his explanation bureau. The
cabinet makers are busy reconstruct
ing his cabinet for him, and the tariff
revisionists, led by Representative
Babcock, are demanding an extra ses
sion of Congress Immediately after
inauguration. The trust busters are
also active with announcements that
Attorney General Moody is sitting up
late at nights preparing to “run
amuck” of the beef trust, the railroad
trust and any other old trust in sight.
In the meantime it is understood the
President proposes to withhold any ob
servations he has to make as to his
future policy for his forthcoming mes
sage to Congress. He hopes to com
plete his message before starting for
the St. Louis Exposition, and to that
end he will labor during the coming
two weeks.
B R EC KINRIDGESUFFER S
STROKE OF PARALYSIS.
Ills Condition Serious lint Not Nec

Lexington, Ky„ Nov. 16.—C01. W.
C. P. Breckinridge, former congress
man from the Ashland district, and
one of the best known orators and law
yers in the South, was stricken with
paralysis at his law office this morn
ing, and is seriously ill.
Some weeks ago while in Marquette,
Mich., trying a law case. Col. Breek
enridge contracted a severe cold, and
upon his return to Lexington he suf
fered the seennd illness of his life. He
had never recovered from that illness,
and had attended to little business,
though going to his office every morn
ing.
This morning, while seated at his
desk, he was stricken with paralysis.
His stenographer hurriedly summoned
his son, Desha Breckenridge, and phy
sicians. They worked over Col.
Breckenridge in his office for several
hours, after which he was removed in
an ambulance to his residence. An ex
amination by physicians showed the
right side paralyzed. To-night he is
slightly improved, though he is not yet
able to speak. Physicians pronounce
his condition serious, but not imme
diately critical. Should he suffer an
other paralytic stroke, however, it is
feared the result would prove fatal.
CONDUCTOR INDICTED
FOR RESPONSIBILITY.
He Mint Answer for the Wreck
Near Newmarket. Tenn.
Knoxville. Tenn., Nov. 16.—W. B.
Caldwell of this city, who at the time
admitted his responsibility for the ter
rible wreck on the Southern Railroad
near Newmarket, Tenn., early in Au
gust, in which sixty-two lives were
lost, has been indicted by the grand
jury of Jefferson county, Tennessee,
for criminal negligence. The indict
ment was found at Dandridge to-day.
Caldwell was conductor on the west
bound passenger train, which overran
Its orders to meet the east-bound pas
senger at Newmarket and crashed Into
the east-bound train a few miles west
of Newmarket. His engineer, the only
other employe who could have been
held responsible, was buried beneath
his engine in the crash.

MILLS SHORTHANDED.
Fall River, Mass., Nov. 16.—There
was no practical change In the mill
situation to-day. The mills generally
started up short handed, as on Mon
day and Tuesday, and a number of
them continued to run during the fore
noon. The manufacturers claim to
have made alight gain* over the first
two days of the week, hut these claims
are not admitted by the labor leaders.
Two men were arrested to-night for
stoning mill overseers, as the latter
were leaving the mills. Neither assault
was serious, and the offenders were
promptly pointed out by strikers In the
crowds about the gates.

fired the shot that killed Middaugh.
CHEERED ATTITUDE OF
FALL RIVER WORKMEN.
Federation of Labor Gln<l They Will
Not Give In.
San Francisco, Nov. 16. —At the
opening of the third day’s session of
the American Federation of ' Labor
convention a telegram alleging the
complete failure of the attempt of the
operators to open up the Fall River
m!U was read to the delegates. The
announcement was received with
cheers.
A stormy session was held, in which
a factional fight regarding the seat
ing of John Mangan, a delegate from
the Florists and Gardeners Union,
among the Chicago unions, was aired.
The Credentials Committee failed to
report on the status of William
Sohardt, president of the Chicago fed
eration. When a delegate threatened
to bring the matter to a focus and
have it threshed out on the floor of
the convention it was side-tracked by
making it a special order of business
for to-morrow.
It is also expected that considera
tion of the Fall River situation will be
begun at this time.

Cincinnati, Nov. 16. —Dr. Charles W.

Mr. Dabney In htn Inaugural address,
discussed “Democracy and the School.”
He said in part;
“Let us cast out of our minds all
half-hearted arguments for the free

that It pays a community to educate
all Its youth, but the public school Is
not a charity Institution. School houses
and schoolmasters are cheaper than
jails and soldiers; but we do not
found the public school on any such
ground as this. Such arguments for
free schools are little less than an In
sult to a free people. The true de

policeman guarding and protecting our
property and our rights. The de

MIDSHIPMAN A HERO
AT PORT ARTHUR.
He Torpedoed a Jnpnnrse Torpedo
Boat Destroyer.
Che Foo, Nov. 16. Evening.—The
Port Arthur newspaper Novikral of
Nov. 11, copies of which were brought
to Che Foo this morning by the Rus
sian torpedo destroyer Rastoropny,
prints brief details of a daring exploit
which resulted in the sinking of a four
funneled Japanese torpedo boat de
stroyer.
Japanese torpedo boats and one de
stroyer were engaged in removing
mines, mostly their own, from Tache
bay on Nov. 3. Midshipman Dimitrleft
conceived the idea that he could tor
pedo the Japanese boats under cover
of darkness as the latter were very
busy and enjoying a fancied security.
It was the very audacity of the plan,
the Novikral says, that made it suc
cessful.
Securing a steam launch from the
battleship Retvizan, carrying a torpedo
tube and accompanied by half a dozen
silent volunteers. Midshipman Diml
trieff, in the dense .darkness, slipped
out of the harbor and succeeded in
evading the Japanese searchlights.
Circling around the Japanese boats
with the launch moving at top speed,
the midshipman came within striking
distance from the seaward side and
launched his projectile. It sped
through to the destroyer. There wits
a sudden explosion and the destroyer
sank immediately.
The launch then sped towards the
harbor, but was not pursued, the Jap
anese evidently having not observed
•the launch, and thinking that the de
stroyer had struck one of their own
mines.
Midshipman Dimitrieff is the hero of
the day at Port Arthur, according to
the paper.
SAYS ALL THeToRTS ARE
IN RUSSIANS’HANDS.
Che Foo, Nov. 16.—Commander Pe
lem of the Rastoropny, In an interview
on his adventurous voyage, said:
“I left Port Arthur at midnight In a
blinding snowstorm. The bdat was
navigated through all the dangers of
floating mines without a mishap. On
reaching the open sea we saw a Jap
anese cruiser and some torpedo brtats
in the distance, but we were steaming
rapidly through the storm with lights
extinguished and passed them unno
ticed. We reached Che Foo without
mishap of any kind.”
The commander of the torpedo boat
destroyer was optimistic with refer
ence to Port Arthur. He declared th'at
all tne forts remained in Russian hands,
and that, the garrison was confident
and in good spirits.
MORE RUSSIAN SHIPS

RUSSIAN TROOPS
CONTINUE TO ARRIVE.
Mukden, Nov. 16.—1 t has been gen
erally quiet along the Russian line to
day, varied by occasional artillery ex
changes. There have been fewer skir
mishes for some days past. Reinforce
ments continue to arrive and one
whole regiment was received in a sin

There is reason to believe that im

shortly and that possibly there will be
heavy fighting.
The weather is clear and intensely

RUSSIANS ANDAFGHANS

London, Nov. 16.—A dispatch to the

many soldiers were killed.
The foreign office has heard nothing
