VOLUME XIV., No. 9
PRESIDENT CHARGES SENATOR TILLMAN
WITH GRAFTING FOR PERSONAL GAIN
Says That the Senator used
His Office to Make Rail
roads Give Up Lands that
He Wanted.
WASHINGTON.—President Roose
• It Thursday night made public the
details of an investigation by post
office inspectors and secret service
agents of Senator Tillman's connec
on with an alleged “land grab’’ in
°rcgon.
As he presents the evidence to
•iator Hale, in response to the lat
,'s request to the heads of the va
ous executive departments for a
’atement of the operations of the
"eret service, the president under
akes to show:
Tillman Used Office.
“That Mr. Tillman used his influ
ence as a senator in an effort to
force the government to compel a
railroad corporation to relinquish its
control of land grants from the Uni
ted States in order that he and his
family and his secretary, J. B.
Knight, might profit through pur
chases of some of the land; that the
senator used his government frank
ing privileges in numerous instances
for the conduct of private business. ’
Comparatively few senators were
favored with the opportunity of read
ing the president’s report to Senator
Hale, but those who did read the re
vert' took a serious view of it, al
though most of the senators refused
to believe that Mr Tilhhan had ever
done anything in violation of his
cath as a senator.
Tillman’s Statement.
Senator Tillman did not permit the
fact that the president was giving
cut charges against him to alter his
determination to make no statement
until Monday. He said that he could
rot make his reply so complete as he
would desire for tomorrow’s papers,
and that he would, .therefore, with
hold whatever remarks he might
have to make until Monday, when he
would make a statement to the
senate.
No effort was made by him to con
ceal the fact that when he had learn
ed the facts concerning tho railroad
grant, he had made an effort to ob
tain portions of the land in the
names of himself and members of
his family, but declared that as at
most, he could have gotten posses
sion of only a few hundred acres, his
efforts were, after all, also the pub
lic’s and not especially in his own
interest.
Immediately after the conclusion
the chaplain’s prayer Monday, Mr.
Tillman will ask the recognition of
the chair on a question of personal
privilege. Departing from his cus
tom of extemporaneous speaking, he
will read his statement, thus insur
ing more careful adherence to what
he desires to say than he would be
able to give in an off-hand speech.
The communication to Senator
Hale is nearly 3,000 words long, and
in addition there are appended nu
merous exhibits, including copies of
letters written by Senator Tillman
and his agent, Willik'm E. Lee, show
ing that they did make an effort to
secure several quarter sections of the
Oregon land, and the reports of the
post office inspectors who investi
gated the transactions of the land
agents. It was through this investi
gation that the alleged interest of
Senator Tillman was brought to light,
and fatefully, it appears, that it was
at his instigation the inquiry was
begun.
THREE KILLED IN
TENEMENT FIRE
NEW YORK —Three persons lost

The dead are John Carr, the janitor
Jno. Carr, Jr., unidentified man.

GERMAN KAISER
HAS ONE DEFENDER
Dr. Burgess Applauds the
Recent Interview Given
Out to London Papers.
WASHINGTON. The German
Kaiser "biasing Indiscretion” in giv
ing the London Daily Telegraph in
terview has at least one conspicuous
defender. That Is Prof. Jghn w. Bur
gess, of Columbia, who lectured in
the University of Barlin a year or
more ago. Dr. Burgess applauds the
interview because the Kaiser abjured
the garments of diplomatic secrecy,
and because he called the attention
of all nations to these greatest of per
ils to civilization and the peace of
the world—the suspected purpose of
Borland to isolate Germany, and the
sufßected future purpose of Japan to
cg'TFoI China and middle Asia and
slam the open door.
"Lincoln,” said Dr. Burgess "de
feated Douglas for the presidency by
speaking wnat his friends warned
him was an indiscretion.”

Tillman Says He'll Win Out
In Controversy With President
WASHINGTON— Senator Tillman
was deeply engrossed today in his
reply to the president’s allegations
regarding the Oregon land scandal.
The senator this morning said:
“I am entirely serene over the sit
uation and am confident of my com
plete vindication and the president's
discomfiture."
Asked of the status of Wm. E. Lee
as his representative the Senator
said that when Lee announced his
intention going west to look into the
land proposition he asked him to
make investigations for him. He re
quested him to report on the charac
ter of Reeder and Watkins and the
quality of the land so that the Sena
tor would not be a victim of a “Gold
brick scheme,"
Private Papers Missing From Desk
Makes Senator Tillman Mad
WASHINGTON—In the preparation
of his speech in reply to the presi
dent’s charges, Senator Tillman has
failed to find a number of papers
bearing upon the Oregon land case
in connection with which the pres
ent controversy arose. These papers
were, he says, enclosed in a large en
velope and left in his private desk
in his committee room at the capl
tol when he left Washington last
March on account of his illness, but
they cannot now be found. The sen
ator does not charge that the papers
have been abstracted by the govern
ment detective who may have been
shadowing ium, but does say it would

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY AFTERNOO N, JANUARY 9, 1909
Regarding :hp president’s refer
ence to his correspondence with the
land agents the Senator said Mr.
Roosevelt was seeking to convey the
impressiofi that a member of con
gress hasn’t the right to buy land as
an individual.
Regarding the abuses of the frank
ing privilege which the president
charges Senator Tillman said that for
years he had sent a typewriter home
through the mails by his franking
privilege and not until after the Mrs.
Minor Morris episode at the White
house has any question been raised
about it.
The Senator says he will make an
explanatory speech before the senate
Monday.
j have been possible for any such of
ficial to gain access to his room and
| to his desk, both of which were fast
ened with only ordinary locks. The
papers, he says, are very important
in the preparation of his case and
would go far to substantiate his de
fense. He says not only his desk,
but his office has been searched for
the documents, but without avaij not
withstanding the loss of the data,
Tillman expresses confidence in his
ability to make a satisfactory reply
to the president.
“He will be hoist by his own pet
ard,’’ declared Tillman sententioualy.

SUPPOSED PAUPER
HAD FINE FUNERAL
Died, in Home of the Poor
Man and Left Money in
Several Banks.
NEW YORK—The Mills hotel in
New York is the home of the poor
man who has ten cents for a bed.
Nevertheless a funeral oosting SI,OOO,
and equalling In solemn splendor
many of thdsr from the magnificent
mansions of Fifth avenue, recently
took place at the Mills hotel.
Instead of dying a pauper as do
most of his comrades in the hostelry.
Patrick Milley, who dropped dead re

first taken to the morgue, had a
l-iece who identified him, and then
obtained pertntssion to examine her

APPLICATION POii
RECEIVER IS
DISMISSED
Georgia-CJarolina Furni
ture Company Win Out
in Suit Brought by J. L.
Bowles.
I
*“
In the United States court Saturday
Judge Speer passed an order dismiss
ing the application for receiver for
the Gccrgia-Carolinn Furniture com
pany, brought on December 5 by J. L
Bowles against the company and
James L. Fleming. The petition was
dismissed on a hearing of the de
murrer submitted by Mr. William H.
Flensing, attorney for the defendant
company.
Judge Speer at the time of passing
the order had the following to say in
discussing the case:
"The case seems to mo upon the
statements of counsel for the com
plainant to be one of which the court
cannot, properly take equitable cog
nizance. it, is admitted that these
gentlemen were engaged in business
together. Mr. Fleming wished to
withdraw from any active participa
tion in the sale of furniture, ills in
terest in the business was large. An
incorporation through the powers of
the state superior court was brought
about. Shares of stock in Ihe cor
poration were issued to Mr. Bowles,
a member of the concern. Mr. Bowles
was unabie to carry on the business
without means. He obtained front
Mr. Fleming some $25,000. Whether
it was for Fleming’s Interest in the
concern, or whether it was a money
loan, does not matter. The shares of
stock were turned over to Mr. Flem
ing as collateral security for that
loan. Mr. Bowles then conducted the
business. He paid some $37.50 a
week to Mr. Fleming. This was lit
tle more than sufficient to pay the
interest. According to tho statement
of complainant's counsel it only
amounted to a payment upon the
principal of SI,OO0 —one-twenty-flfth of
the entire amount, and according to
the statement of the defendant's coun
sel, to a payment of SSOO, or one
fiftieth of the debt due by Mr. Bowles
to Mr. Fleming.
“This proceeded for five and a half
years or more. From the beginning,
as it appears from the minutes of the
corporation submitted as a part repty
to the rule to snow cause along with
the demurrer, Mr. Fleming had the
right to vote this stock. The power
to vote accompanied its delivery to
him as collateral for the debt. This
is plain enough, because he voted if
for a number of years for the purpose
of retaining Mr. Bowles as the man
ager of the company. Mr. Bowles
accepted the position through the ex
ercise of such voting power on the
part of Mr. Fleming, and thuß ratified
and made conclusive that power, even
though it might not have been—as it
was—expressly set forth upon the
minutes of the company, recounting
the circumstances relating to the
transfer of this stock.
“Because in the exercise of that
power Mr. Fleming finally concluded
that Mr. Bowles was not paying him
fast enough, and turned him out by
means of that voting power it can in
no sense follow that there is a case
for equitable interference, and no
case for an accounting. The debt Is
due. It is admitted that Mr. Bowles
cannot pay it. It is admitted that he
cannot pay it if he gets his stock, his
collateral back. He Is wholly unable
to pay it. Now trial courts, and I
believe, intermediate courts like the
honorable the circuit court of appeals
do not try moot cases. The supreme
court of the United States may some
times do so because of the great force
and virtue ascribed to its every ex
pression. We can render Mr. Bowles
no service, even should all of his con
tentions prevail. He might deprive
Mr. Fleming of the remnant which
he has to secure him in the payment
of his debt, and that would be the
whole result of the litigation. The
court, therefore, cannot entertain tho
bill, and cannot help anybody. It sus
tains the demurrer, and drops the
whole matter.’’
CITY MAGISTRATE
HAD VERBAL WAR
“Battery Dan Finn” Slings
Classic Slang With the
Police Commissioner
Bingham.
NEW YORK.—"Battery Dan" Finn,
mest picturesque of the city magis
trates, has a verbal war on with Po
lice Commissioner Bingham. He says
Gen. Bingham was a White House
‘‘major domo,” which he understands
Is a sort of head waiter. “He swears
by the nine gods of war,” declares
the magistrate. ‘‘l have read a great
deal of Greek and Roman history and
never heard of the 'nine gods of
war.’ ”
General Bingham’s retort Is a ref
erence to the police records, which
show that one Daniel E. Finn, de
scribed as “Irish” and "white” was
six times arrested, the latest date be
ing when he was thirty-five years
old, and all of the arrests being for
assault and battery. The commission
er does not contend, however, that
that Is the way the magistrate got
his nickname of “Battery Dan.”

REBUILD CITIES
ROME —A committee of twelve of
the National Italian assembly whioli
was appointed to report tire question
of rebuilding Reggio and Messina an
naunced their readiness Saturday
morning and convening the full body
for reading of the result of their de
liberations. It is known that they
will recommend, first that the cities
be rebuilt, as soon as possible; sec
ond, that the work of clearing away
the debrisr be put under government
supervision and to commence at once;
third, that a special tax be levied, the
accruement of which shall be placed
first to the use of reconstructing the
government buildings. The chamber
will likely adopt all of the resolu

TO PROPEL CARS BY
STORAGE BATTERIES
The Man Who First Ac
cmplishes This End will
Have His Fortune Made.
NEW YORK. —Thomas A. Edison
and Frederick W. Whitrldge, lawyer,
and receiver of the Third Avenue
Railroad system are In a race to
solve the problem of propelling street
■ears, by storage batteries. Each is
working out a different idea.
Not. only will many millions of dol
lars be the prize of the man who
“gets there first" with a practical
storage battery, but untold millions
will also flow Into the coffers of the
car lines. Not only the surfaev
and L roadß and subways will be
driven to adopt it, but tho trunk line
roads, hy common consent, will have
to put. the battery In use. All pow
er houses will then be abandoned.
Mr. Edison is now at work on an
experimental storage battery car
which, by agreement with Receiver
Whitrldge, he will operate in the
spring on Ihe Third Avenue system.
Instead of using lead, soft and quick
to corrode, he has taken nickel
which is tough and enduring. Aban
doning the old storage battery plan
of using chemicals that give an acid
reaction accompanied hy bad odors,
he is employing a chemical combina
tion with an alkali reaction, free
from fumes. The lead storage bat
terly lasts but a year. Mr. Edison
says his nickel battery will last flvo
years or longer.
Lawyer Whitrldge, on the other
hand, is having an experimental stor
age battery car designed and devel
oped that will be a combination, so
to speak, of the power agencies of
gasoline and electricity.
COUNT TOLSTOY OWES
MUCH TO HIS WIFE
The Countess Has Made
Possible the Great Work
of This Famous Man.
PERKlN.—Professor Anuchin’s ar
ticle on his visit to Count Tolstoy is
concluded in the St. Petersburg pa
per, Russky Vledoraostl, In which due
credit is given to the devotion of
Countess Tolstoy, without, which the
Count would long ago have succumb
ed to the trials of an author's life 111
Ruasla. The Counteßs has developed
her wifely care of her famous hus
band Into a positive cult. For a score
of years past. Count Tolatoy has lived
entirely in the regions of thought
leaving everything concerning this
world to his able wife. The educa
tion of their thirteen children, even
the necessary petitioning to secur;
the sons at manhood appointments
In favorite regiments, to say nothing
of the housewifely care of the home
and the management of the estate,
all have been solely in the hands of
the Countess.
When the censor refused to allow
the “Kreutzer Sonata” to appear, the
Countess got the ear of the Czar, and
on several other occasions took off
her husband's shoulders all the trou
ble connected with book publishing,
under Russian regulations, a task
which daunts many a man. "Whan
I ifiarrled ” said the Countess to Pro
fessor Anuchin, “I burned my diaries
and a novel I had written, and be
gan a new life, forgetting all my old
dreams,”
A sacrifice, Indeed. Fortunately,
the Countess later began and has
continued a diary of all that can be
Interesting about Tolstoy, and her
typewritten notes now flil five thick
volumes.

TERROUIZED TOWN
J. E. Bunton Shot Up
Buildings and Tried to
Kill His Family—Held in
Savannah on Lunacy
Charge.
SAVANNAH, On.—J. E. Burton, a
resident of Monteith, a station twelve
miles on tho Atlantic Coast Line, is
in jail here on a charge of lunacy.
He was at first arrested for assault
with intent to murder, but when the
officer saw his condition he decided
that Bunton was crazy and had Mrs.
Bunton sign a warrant for his arrest.
Bunton terrorized the town in which
he lived for a day and night before
he was arrested. He shot up one or
two buildings with a Winchester rifle
and threatened ‘o throw himself un
der tho wheel of an Atlantic Coast
Line train. He Hvpr very near the
Coast Line track and his family had
to overpower him to prevent him car
rying out his threat of self deal ruc
tion. This was after he had lost his
rifle through the strategy of n clerk
In his store, who succeeded in get
ting possession of It and hiding It.
When Bunton was put in jail Wed
nesday night and searched eight long
bladed knives wore found In bis
pockets. After losing his rifle lie
tried for a time to get hold of some
of his family to kill them with an
axe but did not succeed in doing so.
He will probably be tried for lunacy
in a short time.

MOMENT
FOLLOWS KNOX’S
DEPARTURE
Rumor That Senate May
Make fight on Mr. Hitch
cock’s Appointment is
Interesting.
Considerably earlier than was gen
erally expected Senator Knox finish
ed his conferences with Judge Taft
Friday evening and left for Washing
ton at G o’clock in the evening. Fol
lowing tho last conference with Mr.
Knox, Mr. Hitchcock, who is gener
ally conceded to be slated for the
place of postmaster general in the
cabinet, bad a long conference with
Mr. Taft.
It was confidently expected that Mr.
Knox’s departure would be the signal
for some announcements from Mr.
Taft in regard to cabinet appoint
ments. This, however, did not prove
the case and there is ground for the
supposition that Mr. Taft may with
hold the announcement of his other
cabinet, appointments until the date
of his Inauguration.
In tills connection the folowlng dis
patch from Washington Is of inter
est;
“Acordlng to gossip about the- sen
ate, the hesltnncy of President-elect
Tnft in announcing formnlly his selec
tion of Frank H. Hitchcock, chair
man of the republican national com
mittee, to be postmaster general is
due to a suggestion that the nomina
tion mlghi call out opositton in tho
senate. It has heen said rnat if Mr.
Hitchcock continued to hold Ills po
sition as national chairman, consider
able objection would be raised to hts
anointment as the h c.\d of the post
office department, which has moro
Federal patronage than uny other of
the executive departments.
When Secretary Cortelyou was
named by President Roosevelt as the
hend of Ihe post office department ho
was serving us chairman of the com
mltee, but he bad announced his in
tention to resign as soon as he had
concluded certain business In hand,
which occupied three or four months.
He retired within a few months, in ac
cordance with his promise.
"Mr. Hitchcock became first assist
ant postmaster general under Mr. Cor
lelyou, and he organized postmasters
and other Federal employes to a de
gree that made him a political power.
If the Hitchcock nomination comes to
the senate and opposition to confirma
tion is raised it Is said an effort will
be made to Induce democratic sena
tors to take the lead In order to save
certain republican senators from em
barrassment.
"Intimate friends of Mr. Hitchcock
declare that in the event It becomes
necessary for him to choose between
the national chairmanship and the
postmaster generalship, he would re
tain the former place. They assert
that Mr. Hitchcock has a number of
attractive offers to enter the commer
cial field, Bnd say that It would really
be a sacrifice for him to accept a
cabinet, place.
“Those few senators who would dis
cuss this question predicted that the
opposition would not be material.
There Is reason to believe, however,
that. Mr. Tuft Is giving some thought
to the possible objection to Mr. Hitch
cock’s appointment.”
