LATER CONVICT WAS SHOT TO DEATH BY OFFICERS. PARHZAN GOVERNOR Who Sign* Pardon Before the Opin Ion of the Supreme Court Sustain ing the Verdict of Guilty la ihe Lower Court an Read to the End by the Judges. A dispatch from Nashville, Tenn , aays a aensation equalling that which Inflamed In November. 1908, when former United Statea Senator Ed ward Ward Carmack was shot and killed on a prominent street in Nash ville, was created by the pardoning by Governor M. R. Patterson, Wed nesday of Col. Duncan B. Cooper, who, with his son, Robin J. Cooper, was convicted of the murder of Car mack, The issuance of the pardon on the Governor's own initiative without a formal petition before him, followed quickly the reading of the opinion of the Tennessee Supreme Court af firming the verdict of guilty In the chse of Col. Cooper, under sentence of twenty years In the penitentiary, and reversing the lower Court in the case of Robin Cooper, who was sentence to a like period for the Carmack murder. Governor Patterson wrote the full pardon for Col. Cooper and filed It with the Secretary of State, while Chief Justice Beard was yet read ing a dissenting opinion in the case of Col. Cooper. In e statement giv en to the pre«g almost immediately, the Governor said: “In my opinion neither of the defendants Is guilty, and they have not had a fair and Impartial trial, but sere convicted contrary to the law and the evi dence.” The news of the Court’s action and that of the Governor In pardon ing Col. Cooper spread quickly over the city, causing intense excitement and heated discussion by numerous groups of partisans. The conviction and sentence of Col. Cooper was af firmed by a divided Court. In an entirely different line- up of the Jus tices, the Court split as to the guilt of Robin Cooper, by a vote of 3 to 2. the lower Court being reversed and the case remanded for a new trial The reversal in the case of Robin Cooper is based on assignments of error in the trial Judge’s failure to charge seperately as to Robin Coop er's theory of self-defence, linking the defence of the two defendants together; excluding testimony of Governor Patterson as to talks wHL Robin Cooper, and advice given him as to Col Cooper before the tragedy; and the admission on cross examina tion of Robin Cooper as to the in tent of certain State's witnesses In testifying as to certain incidents. Col. Cooper was still at the Cap ital When the pardon was entered In the Secretary of State's office. He was ns calm, and even cheerful, through it all, as if he had received an acquittal. The reversal in his son's ca»° seemed to Interest and please him to the exclusion of his own fate “I wanted Robin's vindication more than I wanted a pardon,” was his smiling remark, when told of the Governor's acton in behalf of himself Leaving the crowds gath ered about him, he entered a car riage with his daughter, Mrs Lucius E. Burch, and his sister-in-law, Mrs Junes C. Bradford, and accompanied hy Marshall Robert Marshall, was driven to the county Jail, where for malities in the conectlon with the pardon were gone through with and he was released. He reached the Jail at 2:20 P. M., leaving there about 2.30 for the residence of hi? daughter, Mrs. Burch. Robin Coop er is under a $25,000 bond. His friends freely predict that he will not again be arralned for trial Should he he. It would be a most difficult undertaking to secure a Jury in Davidson County under the law ? requirements. The opinions were read before a Court room packed to suffocation, the corridors being crowed with those unable to gain entrance. Every word was listened to with breathless in terest, and the scene was a memor able one. It merited sn epoch in not only the legal annals of the State, but the political as well. The Democratic party of Tennessee has been rent Into bitter factions over the prohibition queetlon, and as a wheel within a wheel, “the Cooper case” has played a conspicuous part. Cooper Is the close friend and al leged political adviser of Patteraon. who Is the leader of tha anti-prohi bition forces In Tenneseee. Carmack was the chief of the prSohlbltlbn was the chelf of the prohibition move ment. Patterson was a most Impor tant witness for the defence at the trial of the Coopers for the killing ol Carmack, was the, outcome of politi cal machlnlnatlon. Now on the verge of an election of Jndlclary, the Su preme Court was called on to pass finally upon the esse over which. It seems, the party factions hare ac tually aligned themselves on one side or the other.

Y., was held Wednesday evening and at tended by 700 men, for the most part anti-organization men. The epeak- ers Included Charles J. Bonaparte, former attorney-general of the Unit ed States; William H. Hotchkiss, state superintendent of insurance, and Congressman George W. Nor ris, of Nebraska. Former Assemblyman Merwin K. Hart, president of the league. In his Introductory remarks, said the peo ple are as hard to fool as In Lin coln’s time, and “were not deceived by the Payne-Aldrich bill, and are tired of continued disclosures about politicians for revenue only.” <Mr. Bonaparte's address was an analysis of the methods of bosses and rings, a protest againet the methods of both and a plea for re turning political power to the peo ple. “The mass of our citizens habi tually oome to the polls, (Hot to choose their rulers, but to record a preferance between nominees of two usurping monopolies,” he said. Mr. Bonaparte declared leaders “have made their trade so dangerous, odious and noisome that against it every force that makes for righteous ness must be directed tomorrow as it should be today.” Superintendent Hotchkiss follow ed and after referring to the mes sage sent to the legislature by Gov ernor Hughes for an Investigation of legislative practices and proceed- ure and also to a recent speech by the governor voicing the public de mand "for the uncovering of the secret places of political power and legislative favor,” said: “Thus within a week have two blows been struck at a system — rather a system with a system — of which New Yorkers have become weary. Executives of great state* do not speak thus without et.remc provocation. “Throueh what a period have we been passing?

What an atmospn re was was that of the capital .-lev—said one witness “this is not a Sunday school, this is Albany’—where graft has been a subject for Joking and the distributors of It honored in song. “And what shall be said of peo ple whose action at the polls or In cionviention has made such things possibly? Each decade of late nas seen the executive grow stronger, the legislature weaker; each decade the people have become more satisfied to trust a man, not merely to execute, but even at timee bo make the laws. The current just now Is stronger than ever before Impressed by the oorrupt practices of the few. the plain people are beginning to doubt the reliability of the legislative branch. Stories from Miaslasippl'a contest in lurid vigor with those from Pittsburg; New Jersey's of late, cast in shadow even the dally tales about New York Carried to the ul timate. the present distress of pop lar representation in city council, in state legislature, yes, even in the Federal congressmen's, sooner or later, a practical despotism, a chief tainship which, while still elective, has yet all of the dangers against which the father taught. God for bid that the government should thus be weakened. “And so I take It our governor was looking far into the future when he asked a 'thorough and unsparing investigation Into legislative process es and procedure.’ What the peo ple want is, however, not so much a current resolution as a concur rent revolution, an overturn In meth ods. perhaps, rather than In men. So be it.” Policemen Most Pay Debt*. Atlanta policemen must either pay tbeir debts, or leave the force.

Bryan, written from Brazil and read Wed nesday night before the Democrats who attended the Jefferson Day ban quet af New York and those at a similar function in Indianapolis was as follows: “I thank you for the invitation to the Jefferson Day Banquet. While I shall not return to the United States In time to attend, I can Join with you In spirit the more heartily because of what I have learned by visiting other countries. I have seen everywhere the influence exerted by his teachings. In the nation in which I am Just now sojourning I find illus trations of his idea of conquest. He contended that we should conquer the world with our Ideals rather than with arms, and in this seris^, we are egecting a conquest of Brazil. Her constitution is modelled after ours; she has copied from us the federal system of government, which united local control of local affairs with na tional supremacy; her flag, like ours, has a star for each state, and her school system Is being made to con form more and more to ours. These victories, too, cement friendship, in stead of arousing enmity. Hal! to Jefferson, the world's schoolmaster, whose views continue their majestic march around the earth. “But in our country, as well as abroad, his principles are triumph ing. He taught that the art of gov ernment is the, art of being honest and each new Investigation proves the folly of those who refuse to learn of him. “He was the foe of monopoly in every form and his name is the one which can with most propriety be Invoked when the trusts are attack ed and when a contest Is being wag ed for the application of the prin ciples of poplar government. “I am so far away from home that I am not fully informed as to the recent events, but have Just read of one Jeffersonian victory, namely, the selertlon of an investigating commit tee by the house Instead of by the speaker, and. better still, each party selected Its members of the commit tee. This establishes an important precedent, which. If followed, will make investigations real and effec tive. “i notice, also, that we seem like ly to win a victory against the meat trust. Monopoly price* at last have provoked a popular protest and now that the people are looking for a rem edy there is hope that they will ac cept the I>emorratlr party. It is not unnatural that they should use the boycott, even if they punish th-<n- selves while they are Inflicting pun ishment on their oppressors; but 1 am sure they will, In the end. And legislation more satisfactory than ab- stenance from meat and Join the Democrats in declaring a private monopoly—not the meat trust only, but every private monopoly—inde fensible and intolerable. “But there is another Item of news, which has just come to my attention. President Taft, in his Lincoln speech at New York, Febru ary 12, attributed the present high prices mainly to the Increase in the production of gold and the conse quent enlargement of the volume of money. Thlis uneifpected Indorse ment. of our party's proposition in 1896, when we demanded more money as the only remedy for fail ing price*, is very gratifying. How valuable that admission would have been to us if had been made during the campaign of that year when the Republican leaders were denying that the volume of money had any Influence on prices, and asserting that it did not matter whether we had much or little, provided it was all good. “We may now consider the quan- tative theory of money established beyond dispute and proceed to the consideration of other questions. But the president and his predecessor admitted the correctness of the Dem ocratic position on so many ques tions that further argument is hardly necessary on any subject, we may now take Judgement against the Re publican party by confession. “Please present my compliments to the Democrats assembled in mem e*y of the Sage of Montlcello. X bake for granted that your gathering will not adjurn without the adoption of a resolution urging the ratifica tion by all the States of the income tax amendment to the federal con- stltation. « “The time la ripe for a return to Jefferson principles and I trust the representatives of our party will make a record which will secure us a majority at the Coming congression al elections. With that advantage gained, the Democrat* will have an opportunity to outline a program, and with a program In harmony with Jeffersonian Ideas, the Democt icy will enter the presidential campaign with promise of success."

The Government printing office, Jooated In this city, is the larger of fice of the kind In the world. Prac tically all government publications including the Congressional Record, are printed th^re, and at prescat re quire a force of nearly 4,500 em ployees. This great shop is never without Its details of employers at work. There are three shifts, of 8 hours each, from 8 a. m. to 4 p m., from 4 to 12 night, and from 12 to 8, making the work continuous, in fact much of the machinery never stops, except for repairs. The force Is composed of men skilled in every detail of the priters trade, aud they come from all parts of the Un'on. Besides these employee* of the nleh- est skill, the machinery is the best known to the craft. Of all depart ments of the Government this Im mense workshop Is more up to date than any other. The annual figh( is on in Co ig.es* respecting the distribution of free seeds. Every year a large appr :- prfatlon is made for the purchase and distribution of seeds, and as there is much fraud practiced on the Government in the purchase of worthless seeds, there are many who deem It the best policy to discoo- tlue the work, and If the rural com mittees do not stand together against the city, and the east gener ally, this will be done. The Agri cultural Department is now raising some of its seeds, and tests those It purchases and yet when the seeds are ready for distribution It Is found that the bulk does not correspond with the samples. Under a recent decision of tne Court of Claims, a large fund is now being distributed amon* the Cherokee Indians and their descend ants. This fund was created by an act of Congress to pay these people for their land and other propc'v taken from them hy the Govern ment when it compelled them to give up their lands and move to aucther location. There are a large num ber of these claimants, scattered ai, over the country, but the greater number is in Tennessee, the Caro- linas, Missouri and Arkansas The distribution is made upon sufficient proof that the claimant is a descend ant of the Cherokees in a certain degree.
