PRIG* FIVE GENTS REPUBLICANS ARE NOT AT ALL PLEASED THEY CLAIM THAT MAN NAMED BY ROOSEVELT IS NEITHER A, REPUBLICAN NOR A DEMO CRAT DISSATISFACTION IN RANKS OVER WILSON’S APPOINTMENT “MAY LOSE THE STATE DELE GATION. Jackson, Miss., April 12.—President Roosevelt's policy in making federal appointments in the south has been repudiated by the republican execu tive committee of Mississippi, and a deliberate snub handed out to "m: of his principal appointees. The matter is now an all-absorb ing topic of discussion in political circles, and in some quarters is taken to mean that Roosevelt is quite like ly to lose the Mississippi delegation at the next haTTmal con- ‘■Lin of the party. Contrary to the wishes of Edgar S. Wilson, recently appointee as United States marshal and referee on federal patronage, Chairman James Hill, of the republican state executive com mittee, has appointed ... A. Edwards and sam P. Hurst to fill vacancies on the committee caused by the death of A. M. Lea and Henry Griffin. A poll of the committee, which has been carefully made, shows that the appointments or the chairman will be indorsed at the meeting to be ueld next, month. Wilson has ruled with a mgh hand as the new republican boss of the state, an. 4 this is the first oppor tunity the regular organization has had to express its opinion that he is an usurper and not in harmony with, tne main element of the party. He had indirectly recmnmendeu man Hill the appointment of W. F. Swann and M. Mulvihill to fill the va cancies on the committee, and the claims of these gentlemen, both of whom arip recent appointees of Roosevelt, were not even seriously considered by the cnairman who cher ishes a deep personal resentment against Wilson for influence exerted in setting as.ue party recommenda tions to the president. Hid lias behind him practically the solid racking of i.,e executive com mittee and the old element of the par ty which has been built up in this state. He declares that Wilson is not a republican, while on the other hand it has been as vehemently as serted that he is not a democrat. Thus the republican boss, the pie dis penser of the .party, finds himself In the attitude of being “neither fish. Mesh, fowl nor goou red herring." MARTIN MADE A ROUGH HOUSE. British Columbia Legislature Is in a Very Warlike Mood. Victoria, B. C., April 12. —“Fighting Toe” Martin upheld his right to his title in the legislature yesterday, hav ing two wordy wars with members, hi one rase he invited Captain Tat low, member of the Vancouver legis lature, to “come outside ana repeat your words,” and another he called down was Mr. Kidd', of Richmond, for saying he (Martin) had made a state ment knowing it to be untrue. Mar tin said: “l might have lied, but you have io right "to call me a liar.” The little passage at arms was smoothed over. UNDER ARREST. HE KILLED Chief of Police Is Shot to Death by Prisoner. Elkin.
