Miss Vera Williams, one of Mobiles prettiest young women recited an original poem, and Gov ernor Cojh eT \ of All>aama. was Intro duced, and extended a welcome to the old veterans to Alabama. A speech of welcome by Mayor Lyons, the acceptance of the auditor lum by Gen. Evans, som* more mus ic and the naming of committees on credentials and resolutions rounded out the morning session. The orator of the day was Judge L. B. McFarland, of Memphis; a dis tinguished officer of the Lost Cause. Judge LYlrFarland reviewed the cause that led up to the conflict and dis claimed the South’s responsible for the struggle, holding that it was pure patriotism that led the men who fought under the Stars and Bars to leave the Union, which he said, they loved^^ight and died for In other days. Gen. Bingham has been assigned the subject of “Justice to the South," and he began by reciting the dying commission of Gen. Stephen D. Lee to the eons of Confederate Soldiers, The famous commission to defend and emulate the men who wore the grey. He next read some of the resolutions passed by the Grand Army posts, es pecially In Massachusetts, protesting against the erecting in the National Capital the statue of Gen. Robt. E. Lee attired In a Confederate uniform. He declared that he had not read “these base slanders” with any Idea of answering them, because they “gained no credence even among the stupidest and most Ignorant of our people.” “It is but simple justice bo add,” the speaker continued, "that not all the people of Massachusetts are so wretchedly ignorant, so stup idly partisan as this extract from the resolutions read to you would Indl- £&le.” Then Qen Bingham told how Chas. Francis Adams, of Boston, had de^ dared that had be been in Gen. Lee’s place he would tfllve acted as Lee did. Bingham declares that it was the duty of the people of the South to teach their children, to en- enlighten their fellow countrymen, to tell the world thq circumstances which brought on the war, the Is sues that divided brothers, to see that future generations do justice, not only to the South, but to our coun try and our raceu He declared the war was not one pt rebellion In any sense, but merely a struggle to main tain the idea of local self-govern ment which the Southern -people, be cause In their veins ran the purest on Anglo-Saxon blood on all the con tlnents. had Inherited from ancient times. “Yet, In the histories written by Americans, read by all our people, the War Between the States Is called the war of rebellion, and Southern people are branded before all the _jrfirld as traitors and rebels. And further, these historians t'-U our children that this War Between the States waa not opVy a rebellion, but a rebellion canned by the desire of the Southern Statee to perpetuate the institution of slavery.” (The speaker declared that this statement was maliciously 1 false and that instead of six million foul trait ors, the South gave life to six mils lien patriots. He appealed to tjhe future 1 to remove this stain, not paly the South, but from thf aa* ntry, and declared that the the noblest FRIEND OF TRUSTS THAT IS WHAT BRYAN SAYS OF GOVERNOR HUGHES. Qalls Attention to Some Things In His Political Oareer to Prove What He Hays. lAt Lincoln, Neb., Wm. Jennings Bryan commented Tuesday on the appointment of Governor Hughes as Associate Justice of ths Supreme Court as follows: "The appointment of Governor Hughes to the Supreme Court bench will fee regarded by many as a popu lar appointment. He has been put forward as a reformer and aeems to be considered one by a great many good people, but his reputation as a reformer rests upon a few official acta which show him opposed to grafting and to the Individual vices, but no one who will examine his re cord can doubt that he la In ciofe sympathy with the exploiting cor porations. "it will be remembered that he ve toed the bill for the reduction of railroad rates after a New York Leg islature—and a Republican Legisla ture St that-had passed the reduction bill.' This measure gave to the con gested population of New York the two cent rate now enjoyed by the more scattered population of the Western States, and his veto of It is conclusive proof that he obeys the dictates of the railway managera. In stead of listening to the voice of the public. "He Is understood to be a close personal friend of Rockefeller, and the published reports show that the t^ri; mhgnkjDes have contributed 11b- efiliy to his campaign funds. He has not hesitated to show that he ac knowledges hl» Indebtedness. In L90g he was the chief defender ol Inadtlon of the Republican party on the trust question. "It will be remembered also that he waa the first prominent man to oppose the Income tax, and his op- poslflon came-after Sfh, Rockefeller h^d announced bbstlfity to the In come tax amendment. The corpora tion attorneys who led an argumenv against the Income tax with the Al bany Legislature presented the same argument that Governor Hughes did, and these corporation attorneys, with Governor Hughes.’ powerful aid, bare ly succeeded In preventing the rati fication of the amendment by the State of New York. "What would he do on the Su preme Bench If any question arose affecting the Income tax? His var ious speeches show {hat he feels no hostility toward private monopolies, and there Is no reason to doubt that his decisions would be In line with his speeches. "Governor Hughes exemplifies the Individual vissltudes and natur ally demands honesty In the public service, but he Is a shining Illustra tion of that peculiar type of citizen developed In this country during the present generation—the citizen wbo personally oppose* vice and Is a pun isher of small crimes, but shows no Indignation at the larger forms of le galized robbery." MAKING A RECORD WHAT A WASHINGTON PAPER SAYS ABOUT SMITH. Thinks He Is the Fastest Speaker In the Senate and Makes the Repub licans Listen. Ever since Senator Ellison Durant Smith, of South Carolina, made his advent Into Washington political life last year, local newspapers have been having considerable fun at hts ex pense. He has been called "Gatllng- xun.** "BolI-waaTll.” "Cotton" and “Cyclone" Smith at times, as the oc casion seemed to demand. The Wlashlngton Times, witnessing the terrible dust raised In the Senate on Saturday, when (Mr. Smith began to talk on the cotton pool, Sunday print ed the following story concerning his efforts; "Senator Smith, of South Carolina has gained a sobriquet. He Is called ‘Cyclone Smith.’ This is because of his cyclonic delivery In debate. He can speak faster than any man In the Senate. Hie first real debate came yesterday, when he attacked the At torney General because of the ‘cotton trust’ probe instituted by the depart ment of Justice. The South Caro linian Is a cotton expert. JHe knows his business from the seed In the ground to the frabrlc on the store shelf. He organized the cotton grow ers In the movement to hold the sta ple for better prlcee. "This fund of cotton knowledge was used to overwhelm the Senate yesterday. For nearly two hours the Senator spoke and ten relays of sten ographers were neceasary to catch his remarks. Not a note did he use All the torrent of talk seemed to rise spontaneously and the deluge was complete. "Withal, Senator Smith spoke to good effect for a new senator. He he-ld the attention of more Republi can Senators during his address than many of his older Democratic asso elates do when they rise to address the Senate. He did more. He bait ed Senator Aldrich until that leader roso To ’defend the tariff from the South Carolina onslaught. That wa» how vigorously the attack was made Senator Smith is not exactly of the fire-eating type, but he borders close ly on It. It Is suggested that a lit tie more Senate training will temper him somewhat and that he Is, there? fore, destined to become a forceful debafor.” If this keeps up Soufh Carolina will have a regular “catch-em-alive man In the Senate before Congress adjourns. ALLEGED DEAN OF SWINDLERS. YOUNG MAN FOUND DEAD. Ikxly of Arthur Spear* Discovered by the Kokdslde. Mr. Arthur Spears, a young whits man, was found dead In the public road near his home, In the Lydia sec tion of Darlington county Monday morning.

Bryan was Sunday ordained as an elder In the Westm.nlC j- Pres byterian Church, of Lincoln. Neb., and following his Ordination was p< lected as a delegate at large to the Ecumenical Council of the Pre.-by terian church to be held at EJ u- burgh, Scotland, In June.

Charles Moran, better known as "Chappy" Moran, alleged by Post office Inspector Stuart, of Chicago, and Inspector Cortel of Philadelphia, to be the dean of American swin dlers, Is under arrest at Chicago awaiting removal to Philadelphia. In the last twenty years Moran's alleged Illegal gains are said to ag gregate to a million dollars. He never operated on a small scale. As Detective^ Moore and Elston, of Chicago, found Moran, he was occu pying an expensive suite of three rooms in an aristocratic hotel. A valet attended him and had plenty to do caring for his master's exten sive wardrobe. Moran is said to be known on both sides of the Atlantic, having In his earlier days plied the profession of gaming on the big liners. Later b > became known as a daring and suc cessful wire tapper. He is said f o have originated the "sick englnee r " mining swindle, his first trial of mis scheme having netted him $48,000 His picture is said, by Inspectors, to be in every rogues’ gallery Ir thlf country and Europe. There has i>. en a standing order In New York for years to arrest him on sight, so it is said. SCENTS DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. Ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri Thinks the Piirty Ha* Fine Prospects. Joseph W. Folk, former Governor of Missouri, left New York Tuesday night for St. Louis with wordt of cheer for the Democratic ou'Iootc comments on the high cost of living, and criticism of James Wilson, Sec retary of Agriculture. "Taft, doubtless, will be tbs next Presidential candidate,” he said. "The Republican party will h.'ve to nominate him. Roosevelt must either endorse him or destroy libn. If Mr. Roosevelt tries to Joaicoy Mr. Taft he will place himself in tho position of admitting that he com mitted as grave an error in trying to create a President as Fra-iken- steln did in his efforts to mane a man." Mr. Folk was asked whether he thought there was any chance of Mr. Roosevelt entering the next resi dential race. “I don't know; th^re might b« a third .pactr." -he aatt, . — — I — Jumped Down Chimney.

THAT DEAL Scutor Snlh tauafc Federal Eaqairy la the Sale ef Cettei TO THE COTTON POOL Desires the Government to Investi gate the Matter in Connection With the Enquiry Already Com menced, and Charges that the New York Sales Were Illegitimate. Senator Lodge Monday gave no tice in the Senate that he would not further press his resolution appro priating $65,000 for the extension of the Senate's committee into the cost of living. He gave as the reason for his attitude the opposition of the Democratic Senators. As a mat ter of courtesy to Senator Percy, of Mississippi^ who wished to speak, Mr. Lodge asked general consent to have the resolution taken up. Before Mr. Percy could proceed Mr. Stone entered a protest to Mr. lodges statement. "We do not accept the statement of the Senator from (Massachusetts that he cannot bring his resolution to a vote because of the opposition on fhls side.” Mr. Lodge said he was willing to have a vote taken at any time. Mr. Stone contended for the regu larity and propriety of the Demo cratic oppoeition to the resolution, and he expressed the opinion that a vote might be obtained at a compar atively early dql e - Mr. Lodge reiterated his willing ness to take a vote -on the resolu tion, but not to delay the railroad bill. When the resolution was taken up for discussion, Mr. Percy expressed the opinion that It was a political move and Intended to save the wan ing fortunes of the Republican party. He said he could not bring himself to support it without an amendment extending the inquiry Into cotton speculations, declaring that "In all the spoliation of the South through the trusts and combines under the New York Cotton Exchange, not once had the strong arm of the Govern ment been stretched out In the pro tection of that section.” Declaring sectionalism a matter of the past. Mr. Percy declared that nevertheless it wag coming to be generally recognized that the white man must control affairs In ths South. "The property holding and Intel ligent class must govern, and that means a government by the Anglo- Saxons." he said. Mr. Smith of South Carolina then Introduced a resolution providing for an Inquiry Into the sale of cot ton to the cotton pool. He said there had not been enough cotton sold to Influence the price of cot ton, and that the New York sales had not been legitimate. TALKS OF POOL PROBE GOES FOR WICKERSHAM WITH GLOVES OFF. HUGHES ASSOCIATE JUSTICE. New Yorker Appointed to Federal Supreme Bench. president Taft late Monday receiv ed from Governor Charles E. Hughes of New York, a letter accepting a tendered appointment, as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Five minutes after the letter was handed to the Presi dent the nomination of Governor Hughes was on Its way to the Sen ate. The body had adjourned for the day, however, and so the Senate did not officially hear of the desig nation of Governor Hughes to suc ceed the late Justice David J. Brew er until Tuesday. While it Is ex pected that Governor Hughes will be confirmed with little or no delay, it Is understood in Washington that he will remain as the Chief Executive of the State of New York until next October, and will not take the oath of office until the fall term of the Supreme Court opens on the second Monday in that month. Gov. Cromer, of Alabama, Charges the Attorney-General With Pan dering to the Bears. In his address of welcome at tha opening of the Confederate reunion at Mobile Tuesday Governor B. B. Cromer of Alabama, In addition to greeting the old soldiers In a cordial way, took a fall out of Attorney Gen eral Wlckershaqi for bis prosecution of the nien who 'tried' to break up the cotton pool boldtngt. He said "And now we have the remarka ble spectacle of an attorney general of the United States Instituting le gal process for the arrest of citizens who are trying to break the power of speculative cliques which through the New York exchange have fatten ed by using millions of money to force the price of cotton up and down, and without regard to the effect on the grower, the consumer or the manufacturer. I say we have an attorney general of the United States Instituting processes of the court for the arrest of business men who are trying to establish regularity in the price of cotton, founded on supply and demand.” The governor asserted that the at torney general failed to show that It is the purpose to prevent specula tive sales of cotton whenever It suits the speculators to press down the price of the staple. He charges that when the speculators are caught short and are forced to deliver the thousands of bales they never even saw, they call on the federal gov ernment, and in helping them the attorney general forgets the inter ests of the toiling masses of the South, the poorest paid labor in America. He was astonished at any officer thus attempting to injure the citizens of the South for the bene fit of the specultors In the South's great product. "We of the South," he said, after condemning the Aldrich tariff bill, "have never asked for a tariff which would enrich ns by levying a tax on the public for oiir benefit. We have never treated our patriotism, our Citizenship, as a commodity; we have never commercialized our vote.” In another place the governor says the South occupies an abnormal pos ition with regard to the rest of the country—that of an unloved step child. "I think it is time for the South to cease to be a province," he said, "and that we should take our rightful position in the national house and be treated like the rest the national governmentejrpxzflflfflff of the family.” He commended the national government for the loan of tents. To the old men of arms the gov ernor said: "Nothing could surpass your heroism In those four years’ ser vice, In the 45 years since, In the spectacular self-denial shown In a thousand hardships in the patriotic discharge of duty. We pray God that your like will be perpetuated In the boys and girls of the South." REMEMBERED THEIR PRESIDENT AMERICAN GIRL MURDERED. Quito Cool to the Clouds.

The finding of the body of a beau tiful young woman on the beach near Naples has given rise to the suspi cion of murder. Apparently the wo man died about three days ago. The body was scantily clothed and this has led the authorities to believe that probably she was the victim of crime. . The body was identified by the proprietor of the Hotel Cas’ellj as that of Miss Estella Reid, supuu&jd to have been an American, who was a guest at the hotel. She was fair and tall with gray eyes and quLo prominent nose and wora glasses. The supposition that she came from the United States was strengthened Tuesday when the police fouqd let- tepe addressed to her from New York and Sl. Tiouls ais wW aff ff&lfi Canada. Several of these were apparently love letter. * Here It Is Again.

Old Oonfrds Pay Homage to His Granddaughter. At Mobile on Tuesday a slender black clad, frightened girl stood on a raised platform and while six thous and Confederate Veterans cheered, and while the bands played "Dixie," a score or more gray-beared Confed erate general officers passed In re view before her, and, with uncover ed heads, kissed her hand. The young girl Miss Lucy White Hayes, granddaughter of the only President of the Confederacy. The incident was the climax of the first day's session of the United Confederate Veterans. The big tent, which is said to seat ‘comfortably six thousand people, was packed to Its topmost tier of seats. The sides had been raised and the throngs out side had pressed In. When the new “Daughter of tha Confederacy" was being presented to the Convention, the old Veterans went mad. The band wag playing "Dixie"—three of them were—but the combined brassies could not drown out the cheers. The Veterans surged forward but the ropes stop ped them. Then one by one, the stately general officers on the stage moved in review before the frighten ed, trembling girl and each kissed her hand ae he passed. Miss Hayes's eyes filled with tears and she seemed overcome with emo tion as she passed back to her seat, on the arm of her tmald of honor, Miss Ella Mitchell. Hiss Hayes is the “sponsor for the Southern Con federacy” In the Reunion and take rank over all 'other sponsors and maids. Sealing Vessel Lost.

After successfully holding up and robbing the crews and passengers of street cars on several occasions a gang of negroes disguised as white men were rounded up by the New Orleans police on the outskirts of the city early Tuesday. In a running battle with the officers one of the negroes was fatally wounded. To throw off all suspicion as to their color, the dighwaymen wore white kid gloves and masks that completely covered their faces. Fol lowing several holdups, Chief of Po lice O’Connor and Chief of Detectives Reynolds Monday night laid a trap, into which the highwaymen fell. The result was a running fight shortly before daylight between Al fred and Ollle Smith, brothers, and Patrolmen Roy and Jackson, Imme diately after the negroes had held up a car on the Peters avenue line. The negroes were making for the swamps and exchanged a score or more of shots with the patrolmen.
