Thinks Roosevelt Dis-
regards Limit to His
Authority.
Washington, J»n. 11.—Discussing the
resolution th«* state senate of Houth
Carolina passed Indorsing President
Roosevelt’* uction In the Brownsville
caae, Senator Tillman said today
"I do not consider that Bleaae, who
Introduced the resolution, understands
ths situation. Those who passed the
resolution probably misconceived my
attitude. They have built a vague Idea
of the essential absurdity of the act of
the president. He has gone too far In
discharging Innocent negroes, but*not
far enough In punishing the guilty.
“There Is no doubt In my mind that
he exceeds his power In providing
that tho members ofthe negro troops
discharged could not serve In the civil
branch of the government In the future.
His executive orders have gone so far
beyond hie constitutional authority that
they seem to have been promulgated
without any thought that there are le-
gal limitations put upon his authority
as president.
“There hea been no caucus of Demo,
cratlc senators to support the presi
dent and no one has authority to speak
for me In shaping up any such agree-
ment."

Fighting Talk Indulged In.

"Any man tvho charges me with be
