Senator Declares ’Twill Be
“Nauseating” if the Governor
is Elected. Defends New
Rules.
I
Spartanburg, S. C.—ln a statement
issued to the South Carolina press Sena
tor B. R. Tillman touches on the sena
torial campaign now under way and
takes several flings at Governor Cole
Blease. whose election to the senate, he
says, "will be nauseating to some of
us."
Senator Tillman defended the new
rules governing the primary election,
which are being bitterly denounced by
Mr. Blease. The senator also says: "Gov
ernor Blease and Mr. Fortner are howl
ing about the negroes having white
teachers and the danger to our
tion from that source. I am inclined to
believe the Southern people made a
great mistake when they did not take
charge of the negroes’ education and
put thm all under white teachers in
stead of colored teachers. However, that
may be, the one real danger and a g eat
one it is to South Carolina’s civiliza
tion, lies in a possible division among
the white peop'e themselves, making the
negroes the balance of power and the
controllng factor in our politics.
"The new rules adopted at the last
state convention to govern the primary
insure an honest vote and every good
Democrat will abide the result what
ever it be. ‘
"There is little possibility of our ever
having again as bad a governor as
Blease has been."

HIGHWAY BILE
„.* : .
Surprise at Action on
State Highway Commission.
Speaker xtc;plie s to Mr.
Picquet.
Atlanta. Ga, —The house of representa
tives Wednesday laid on the table the
till by Representative R. B. Blackburn
of Fulton county to create a state high
way commission. The bill was the
first on the calendar of unfinished busi
ness ready for their dreading and pass
age. The vote of the house seemed to
Indicate that there is a strong senti
ment against the proposed highway com
mission.
Remarks of members who spoke
against the hill showed that they feel
the prison commission as at present con
stituted may serve the functions of a
highway commission quite adequately.
Representative Blackburn was admitted
ly surprised by the house’s action, as he
had anticipated no serious opposition to
the bill.
After the reading of new bills Speaker
Burwell. replying to a parliamentary in
quiry by Mr. Picquet of Richmond,
stated that the rules committee of the
ho>tse is not the czar of the house, as
nsser.ed In various speeches on the floor,
hut is tlie controlled servant of the
■ house.' He said the committee places
bills on tlie calendar strictly according
to their serial numbers, and no special
order can be made by the committee
without a three-fourths majority vote
of the house, except during the last
seven days of the session, when, as ex
perience demonstrated, a steering
committee is absolutely necessary.
Representative Wright of Floyd, re
plying to Speaker Burwell, stressed the
power of the rules committee during the
last seven days. It is then, he said, that
(lie committee does wield the power of a
czar, absolutely controlling the proce
dure of tlie house.
Representative Sheppard of Sumer
said another very powerful advantage
enjoyed by the rules committee is that
resolutions directing committees to re
port out on bills are referred to the
nilcs committee, where trey usually re
main if illls committee is unfavorable
to ihc hill on which a report Is de
sired.

ident.
Next Week.
Next week the president will have
an informal conference with Henry
Ford, the Detroit manufacturer, who
will be entertained at luncheon at the
White House It was said the presi
dent had invited Mr. Ford.
Officials close to the president said
Mr. Wilson would take such an op
portunity to outline his views to the
heads of “big business" in person.
Mr. Morgan’s engagement was more
or less of a surprise to those who hav
observed the course the president has
taken since he entered the White
House in having conferences with
captains of industry.
Less Frequently.
It had been pointed out that Mr.
Wilson was receiving the big business
nen of the country less frequently
than his predecessors. In fact had not
been asking their advice at all on leg
islation affecting business as many
other presidents have done. When the
currency bill was pending in congress
the president even declined to receive
some meimbers of the Morgan firm.
White House officials said today that
one of the features which had enter
ed Into public discussion of the ad
ministration’s trust eglslatlon policy
and what the president had character
ized as a “psychological depression”
caused by a campaign to halt the trust
Mils in congress, was an Inference that
Mr Wilson did not care meet big bus
iness men face to face and discuss
with them personally the issues in
which they are so vitally Interested.
With Open Mind.
By a series of informal conferences
with leaders of industry and finance It
is the Idea to show that the preslden
is approaching the subject with an
open mind, willing to hear the views
of big business first hand and then
outline his own views In returns.
Although there are other subjects
interetlng Mr. Morgan at present in
which the governmen has a part, it
was said today’s talk would be a per
sonal .one on business. The Inter
state commerce commission’s report
on Its ■ Investigation of financial af
fairs of the New Haven Railroad Is
nearly ready for submission to the
senate and the time Is drawing near to
July 15th, the date which President
Wilsin and Attorney General Mcßey
nolds have agreed uPon filing the an
ti-trust suit for the dissolution of the
New Haven merger unless the Mas
sachuetts legislators takes certain
action necessary to a dissolution.
Whether this subject was among those
to coma up at today's conference was
not known.
From Chicago.
Washington. Another important
conference will be held by the presi
dent next Wednesday with a delega
tion of business men representing
the Chicago Association of Cofn
merce. In the delegation will be rep
resentatives of six of the'largest bus
iness corporations in Chicago having
interests all over the country.
The conference, requested by the
Chicago men promarily to discuss
antitrust legislation, was readily
granted. The delegation is also ex
pected to confer with Secretary Red

DENIES WORDS
Commander of Dep’t of the
East Writes Sec’y of War He
Was Misquoted. Letter to
President.
Washington.—Brigadier Gen. Robt.
K. Evans, temporarily commanding
the Eastern Department of the Army,
in a report to Secretary Garrison to
day denied that he criticised the ad
ministration in a speech in New York
last week. General Evans declared
his remarks were misquoted in re
ports which represented him as hav
ing said:
“We need a large navy because
with our great variety of interests
we are naturally the most .eddle
some nation in the world.”
When reports of the speech were
laid before President Wilson he im
mediately called upon Secretary Gar
rison to demand an explanation from
General Evans. With his letter today
to Mr. Garrison, General Evans, who
said he was speaking extemparan
eously, forwarded as nearly as he
could remember the remarks which
he said he actually made and explain
ed the meaning he intended to con
vey.
Secretary Garrison declined to
make the leter public. He will for
ward it to the president upon whom
further action depends.

JEALOUS WOMAN
OR AJJNITIC ?
Search For Motive in Mrs.
Bailey’s Murder. Dictagraph
in Doctor’s Office to Wife’s
Room.
Freeport, N. Y.—ln searching for a
motive for the murder of Mrs. Louise
Bailey, a prominent society woman, in
tlie office of Dr. Edwin Carman Tues
day night, police today worked on two
theories. One is that a lunatic killed
Mrs. Bailey when shooting at Dr.
Carman. The other is that a woman
fired the shot.
Dr. Carman has served upon many
lunacy commissions in UreePont and
the police believe some person cotn
n itted to an aSylum through his in
strumentality sought revenge and
missed his aim.
Upon what they based their theory
that a woman committed the murder
the police refuse to state but declared
they expected to make an arrest soon.
Investigation of the case last night
developed that Dr. Carman's wife had
for weeks listened to his conversation
with women patients by means 01 a
telephonic device.
“Everything I heard over the dicto
graph comforted me,” Mrs. Carman
said today. “I became convinced of
the doctor’s fidelity to me."
