Georgia Senator Declares He’ll
Fight Confirmation of All
Federal Appointments
Atlanta. Qa, -A friend of Senator
Hoke Smith, who Imd written the
senator In regard to the fight that
was made in the senate on the con
firmation of the negro, Robert H. Ter

municipal court of ihe District of Co

”1 made two elaborate speeches
against Ter dell and t-ok part In the
fight which lasted for two months
Of course I voted against him, nnd
we obtained 24 votes against his con

(Signed) "HOKE SMITH.”
, The appointment of Terrell was
made while Senator Smith was in
Georgia attending the funeral of Sen

southern Democrats in opposing the
confirmation. The tight, was made In
the executive sessions of the * mate,
and caused the blocking of many
other appointments for several weeks,
the name* of the other appointees fi
nally filling four and a half columns
of the Record.
The matter came up again Friday
night of la*t week, uml the fight was
resumed, lusting three hours and ten
minutes, according to the Congres
sional Record of that day, which, how
ever, contain* no other information
than that tho nomination was con
firmed. The Associated Progs stated
that ihe aenators who were urging
Terrell's confirmation declined to
pass his name on the list of nomina

The margin hot ween the democrats
and republicans Is very close, and
■omo oT, the northern und western
democrats did not stand by Ihe south
erners. It is understood that tho ap
pointment of the negro was due to
Attorney General McKeynold*.
While Donator Smith and other

SLOWLL DYING
Nogales, Ariz.—On information
brought her by refugees that James
Byington, an American imprisoned
nine months at Cuinpas, Sonora, Mex
ico, without a trial, was slowly dying
of neglect, another protest was sent
Saturday to the constitutionalist qu
thorltles at t'umpas, demanding Ilia
immediate release. According to Am
ericans who have been aroused by
what they describe as cruelties Inflict
ed on Byington, former protests
against his long imprisonment with
out a trial have been received with
jeers by the constitutionalist chiefs.
Byington, who is an old man and a
native of Boise, Idaho, is said to be
losing his mind. The latest repre
sentations to the Mexican authorities
state that it apparently is not the in
tention to give him a trial and ask
hat he be set at liberty.
The charge against Byington, on
which it IsAiald he has been Impris
oned without trial since August, 1913,
involves a shipment of ore from a

MILITIA OR
MINE GUARDS
RESPONSIBLE
Trinidad, Colo—The fird that de
stroyed the. Ludlow tent colony on the
night of April 20th, cauSlng the deaths
of thirteen women and children, was
started by militiamen or mine guards,
or both, according to the verdict ren
dered by the coroner's jury here late
today.
D. J. Riley testified today that a
man in a militia uniform put a torch
to a tent in the Ludlow colony at 7:05
o’clock on the evening of April 20th.
Riley, a Colorado & Southern fireman,
said he was on the engine of a freight
train which pulled up at the Ludlow
station in the hottest ‘of the battle. He
said two tents already were in
flames.
"I saw a man in a military uniform
touch a blaze to a third tent,” he said.
He said he saw women and childreen
screaming on the railroad right-of
way, apparently trying to escape from
the colony.
When the train drew up at the sta
tion, Riley said, several militiament
put guns to the engineer’s head and
ordered him to “pull out, and do it
quick.”
J. S. Harriman, conductor of the
same train, testified that as the train
pulled out of the station and past the
tent colony, he heard women and chil
dren screaming and apparently trying
to escape. He said that during this
time the militia was firing into the
colony.
No responsibility for the killing of
Louis Tikas was fixed by the jury,
which contented itself by finding that
he, with seven other men, were shot in
the battle. Strikers had charged that
Tikas received a blow on the head
which fractured his skull.
United States regulars tonight pa
trolled the southern Colorado fields.
Troops sent out from the central camp
at Trinidad were in control of the sit
uation at Walsenburg and Ludlow and
small detachments had been distrib
uted at various mining camps in Las
Animas and Huerfano counties. No
disorders have been reported since
the arrival of the regulars.

The names printed in capital
letters indicate those who may ba

vacancies thta now exist in both
departments. The names are
given in the list in the order
of the standing made in the ex
aminations, the highest first, und
so on.

Thursday night at fire headquarters.
There were twenty-eight applicants.
Out of the twenty-eight who applied
for the positions, fifteen passed
mark required by the commission.
Eight are available at once, two for
the fire department and two for the
police department. The examinations
were passed upon at a meeting of the
commission Friday night.
President George W. Wright, of the
commission, stated that while the
questions asked are not extremely dif
ficult, every man is required to stand
the test before his name is placed on
the eligible list. He spoke as though
he was highly pleased with the way
the new law has taken effect in Au
gusta and says that he believes that
it will show results right away. There
is a vrist difference in filling a va

partment now than there used to be.
when a man was elected a police of
ficer or a fireman without undergoing
any mental test fixed by a responsi
ble commission, composed of a cer
tain number of men.
It is announced that there will bp
no more examinations given until s}ie
