4JAJHE WARDEN RICHARDSON v WINS FIRST BOUT a s Attorney General Renders Opinion s Contradicting Governor Man- t nings VieMS. Columbia, M irch ?Col.

In the order issued by Governor Manning deelar jag trie ottice oi cfiier game warden i -vacant. and appointing Mr. Wade IHarnpton Gibbes to succeed Colonel t Richardson, Governor Manning held "Q that, under the decision of the su- c jpreme court, the term of the chief ' jame warden expired 011 February 2"), j lour years from the date of his ap- ( ^ointment. Comptroller General Say- , yer today paid warrants drawn by . H)oionel Richardson upon the chief [ j^Line warden's fund, under an opinion < rendered by Attorney General Peeples * to the effect that the term expires j four years from the date of confirma- t n by the senate, which will be on t *arch 7. 1 r This does not affect the real merit9 c of the controversy between the gov- j \ crnor and the chief game warden, but l overrules the opinion of Governor J \ JBanning as to the date of expiration j s i>f the term.

In the immediate presence )f a crisis fraught with more suuuu j md far-reaching possibilities of na ional danger than any other the c government has known within the J vhole history of its international re ations, the congress has been unable o act either to safeguard the coun- * ry or to vindicate the elementary * ights of its citizens.

Paralysis Would Remain. "It would not cure the difficulties o call the Sixty-fifth congress in ex raordinary sc/ssion. The paralysis f the senate would remain. The urpose and the spirit of action are ot lacking now. The congress is lore definitely united in thought and urpose at this moment, I venture to ' ay, than it has been within the mem. ry of any man now in its member-1 hip. There is not only the most: nited patriotic purpose, but the ob ;Cts members have in view are per-, ectly clear and definite. But the sen-' te can not act unless its leaders can ' iinanimmis rnnsent Its ma- i ULaill U 11UU _ )rity is powerless, "helpless. In the lidst of a crisis of extraordinary per , when only definite and decided ae on can make the nation safe or shield from war itself by the aggression E others, action is impossible. "Although as a matter of fact, the ation and the representatives of the ation stand back of the executive nth unprecedented unanimity and pirit, the impression made abroad ill, of course, be that it is not ?o nd that other governments may act s they please without fear that this overnment can do anything at all. Ve can not explain. The explana-. ion is incredible. j "The senate of the United States i the only legislative body in the rorld which can not act when its majority is ready for action. A little rroun of wilful men, representing no pinion ibut their own have rendered he great government of the United 5tates helpless and contemptible. "The remedy? There is but one emedy. The only remedy is that the ules of the senate shall be so al ered that it can act. The country an be relied upon to draw the mor il. I believe that the senate can be elied on to supply the means of .ction and save the country from dis .ster." CYCLONE IX CALHOUN Utorm Leaves Path of Destruction in Passing Through Comity. The State.
