I IS SVVAYNE, OF FLORIDA! \ i Representative Lamar Begins Action i in Compliance With Resolution k Passed in Florida Legislature. Sensational Charges. j A Vv'ashingtoa special says: The i t house of representatives by formal j resolution has instructed its judiciary j committee to investigate the charges against United States District Judge j Charles Swayne, of Florida, with a \ view to possible impeachment. This action was taken at Thursday's session after a two hours' debate. The resolution was introduced by Judge Lamar, the new representative from Florida, and had as its basis resolutions adopted by the Florida legislature last August. Judge Lamar, Mr. Clayton, of Ala- i baxna, and Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, led the fight for the adoption of the impeachment resolution, while General Grosvenor, of Ohio, Mr. Payne, of j New York, Mr. Lacey, of Iowa, and I other republican leaders, supported j Mr. Lacey's motion to refer. Mr. Lamar, rising to a question of j privilege, after announcing that he 1 would offer a resolution, in which I would be embodied a joint resolution j of the Florida legislature, said: '"In pursuance of that joint resolution, I desire to impeach Charles Swayne, judge of the United States district court for the northern district of Florida, with high crimes and misdemeanors." ^ The resolution, after reciting in the preamble the resolution of the Florida legislature, says: 'TKesolved, That the committee on the judiciary be directed to inquire and report whether the action of the house is requisite concerning the official misconduct of Charles Swayne, judge of the United States district court for the northern district of Florida, and sav whether said indee has held terms of his court as required by law, whether he has continuous ly and persistently absented himself from said state, and whether his acts and omissions in his office of judge have been such as in any degree to deprive the people of that district of the benefits of the court therein to amount to a denial of Justice; whethethe said judge has been guilty of corrupt conduct in office and whether his administration of his office has resulted In injury and wrong to litigants of his court." The resolution further authorizes the judiciary committee to send for persons and papers and to do other things essential to the investigation. Mr. Lamar moved the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Grosvenor suggested that there should be specific charges; that the house should go flirwlv anH Ho ovtromolooTofnl Tha i M?vt* ????vfc vw vavt vua V&UA* house is not a grand jury, he said. Messrs. Lacy, Payne and Fuller, re publicans, expressed in the same vein. In reply, Mr. Lamar said: "As I understand, this objection made by the gentlemen from Ohio (Mr. Grosvenor), is that I do not charge Judge Swayne with an specific crime. I do charge him generally with high crimes and misdemeanors. Why should I be forced to state, when the proof is to be submitted to the committee on judiciary, the specific matters upon which that general allegation is made. .Every single crime that j this judge is capable of committing is charged when I charge him of high crimes and misdemeanors. But if the gentleman desires that I shall make my charges seriatim, I charge this judge first, with continued, persistent and, If you please, pernicious absenteeism from his district; second, with corrupt official conduct based on several matters; third, I charge Judge Swayne with maladministration of judicial ' matters in his court, so much as to embarrass bankrupts and annihilate the assets of litigants and others appearing within his jurisdiction." Mr. Williams, the minority leader, contended for the adoption of the res" oiution. citing former cases and arguing that the verbal statement of Mr. Lamar as sufficient. The motion to refer the resolution i.o the judiciary committee was lost, when the resolution as offered by Mr. Lamar was adopted with a few dissenting votes. The house then adjourned for the day.

A Washington special says: The establishment of the department of the south, with headquarters at Atlanta, j Ga., has been finally and officially de-, termined upon. The order has not yet been issued, but this is mere formality, j The general staff has recommended it and the secretary of war has given his approval. j The order will be issued in the very ; near future, as soon as the assignment J of officers is determined upon. That: this was sure to come was some time hv Thp Atlanta Consti tution. The delay in reaching a de- j cision is due to the fact that the gen- j eral staff has had under consideration i a number of changes in the existing plan of divis{on of the military departments, and it was impossible to settle j one thing until all were determined. j A final decision was reached on Fri-! day, but the Tact has just become | known, the official purpose being to ' keep it see'et until the formal orders, were ready. Under the plan adopted there are to! be five divisions of the army, with j twelve departments, instead of thej present departments. This provis- \ ion for the five divisions is new. It is believed that the creation oi ' these divisions, each to contain one or more departments, and to be com- j manded by a 'major general, will be a j more effective and more neariy per- j feet organization than that now exist-: ing. There will be a division of the : Atlantic, with headquarters at Gover- j nor's Island ,to embrace two depart- j ments?department of the east, with j headquarters at Boston, and a depart-1 ment of the south, with headquarters j at Atlanta. In a similar manner other j existing departments will be embraced i in divisions. For instance, the inte- j rior and southwestern section of the J country will be included in a divis-1 ion containing three departments?the j department of the lakes, with headquarters at Chicago;the department o* i the Missouri, with headquarters at j Omaha, and the department of Texas, I with headquarters at San Antonio, as! at present. The exact geographical lines of the department of the south have not yet been announced, but it will conform practically io the old department of the gulf, reaching as far south as the Texas line and north probably to the Potomac. New Orleans was a strong j bidder for headquarters of the department of the south, but the superior ja- i A r mems ui Auauut pui me ljuuibiaua metropolis out of consideration. MOST PECULIAR TRAGEDY. Memphis Policemen, in Disguise, j Shoots Merchant and Then Suicides. | John C. King, a policeman, is dead : by his own hand, and H. J. Kressea- j berg, a well-known business man and | member of the city democratic commit-1 tee, is probably fatally wounded, as the j result of a sensational double tragedy j enacted at Memphis, Tenn., Sunday i night. Shortly before midnight Kressen- \ berg, accompanied by his wife, left' hig store in the business district, and a moment later he was shot twice by j a man wearing a handkerchief over his . face as a mask. Kressenberg fell to the sidewalk, but! shot his fleeing assailant in the leg. J After running two blocks, the latter ' fell, exhausted, and turning his revoly-! er on himself, fired a bullet into his ! brain. It was then discovered that the masked man was John C. King, a member of the local police force. No cause is known for King's attack upon Kressenberg. LABOR ORGANIZATION FINED. ! ? ! Precedent is Set by the Action cf! Chicago Judge.

Notification of a decision of the Missouri supreme ceurC; which brings , into miestion thp le;:aiitv of hundreds | of arrests and convictions recently i made on information in St. Louis, and ] which, according to circuit attorney I Frank Folk, opens the doors of tnt' j penitentiary, through writs of habeas \ corpus to many others, was received in St. Louis Monday by that official. ! In the list of cases whicn, under the 1 ruling of court, could be affected if the J plea of illegal arrests was raised, are ! the majority of the suburoan iranchise i boodle convictions. j It was stated by a well known law-1 yer that the statute of limitation in ' I these cases expired last November and i that if the present charges against the accused men should be found defec- i tive, it would be impossible to bring j new indictments against them. All of the cases are before the su- i preme court on appeal, and the rec- { ords show that each case was tried j on information furnished by the cir- i cuit attorney on his official oarfi. J They follow: Charles F. Kelly, former speaker of the house of delegates, convicted of; perjury in connection with the subur-! baa franchise boodle deal, sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.

Mr. Folk notified Judge McDonald,: of the criminal division of the circuit I court and proceedings were stopped in all cases affected. Nine cases were wiped off the dock-1 - I et and the wttnessos sent to the grand jury room, there to give information upon which to base Indictments to take the place of the invalid informations, j The case against E.

The decision is that reversing the case of the state versus William Bon- j ner, which holds that an information issued by the circuit attorney's office must be sworn to by prosecuting wit- j nesses in the case, and that circuit attorneys or prosecuting attorneys could only swear to information from, per-, sonal knowledge of the facts. For two years, under a former decis- i ion of the supreme court, and under the constitutional amendment of 1900, and the hct of 1901, prosecuting attorneys and circuit attorneys have "been giying informations under their official oaths. In St. Louis alone, it is stated, fully two thousand cases haveJbeen tried on such inforn^atioh, andv-convictlon re-'Suited-fll** I t steel trust to cut wages. t Reduction Will Affect 150,000 Employes of the Various Companies. j.

The invasion of the municipal service at Chicago by labor unions was ordered brought to a halt by Mayor Harrison Monday. "In tho mechanical branches of the city's service," said tie mayor, "where the employe is simply a working man, it is all right for him to belong to a union but where the man belongs to a department, like the firemen or policemen, he has no right to have a divided allegiance. He must owe allegiance.to only one master, the city of Chicago." \ - ' I BIRTHDAY OF ALABAMA. Eighty-Fourth Anniversary Celebrated by School Children of the State. !

"X-. .. Secretary of War Says False Statements Concerning Major General are Being Widely Published. ?, A Washington dispatch says: Secretary Root has addressed the following letter to Senator Proctor, acting chairman of the committee on military affairs: "Sir: I inclose letter from Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss asking attention to the report of his recent testimony before your commission, as a witness regarding certain objections to the confirmation of General Wood. It appears that the press reports of general Bliss* testimony are the precise contrary of what he, in fact, testified. He wishes this set right for his own reputation, and I shall take the liberty of doing so as far as pracKir trivmo' hi<i lifter to the U?vau?^f i/J o? ' *"0 ?"* press. "At the same time I wish to call the attention of the committee to the fact that some persons seem to be persistently furnishing to the press false statement of the testimony taken before you, the perversion of the evidence being in every case to the prejudice of General Wood. It cannot be doubted that the newspapers publishing these reports believe them to be true, and that the reports are sent to them by the representatives of the press in good faith, under the same belief. It is evident that some person is undertaking to convey to the press representatives information of what goes on in the committee, and is taking advantage of the fact that the evidence is not published to state it falsely for the purpose of injui.ng General Wood in the public's estimation; so that while your committee will act upon the evidence actually before itr the public judgment as to how you ought to act will be based upon an entirely different and erroneous idea of what the evidence is. If the evidence actually given called for General Wood's presence, I should, of course, bring him back from the Philippines; but I do not feel justified in withdraw mg mm irom m3 important amies which he is performing on account of false reports of evidence which has never, in'fact, been given. It hardly seems fair that an officer who is not here to protect himself, but is serving his country faithfully, under orders, on the other s^de of the world, should have his reputation stabbed in this way. I earnestly request your commission's attention to this subject. "Very respectfully, "ELIHU ROOT. ''Secretary of War." ^ j MURDERED GIRL IDENTIFIED.

COTTON" OlSf ASES f P I J J j Way be Subject of Consideration ai this Congress. i j APPROPRIATION NEEDED !

For some time, Con- i i gressman Brantley has been in conj sultation with Secretary Wilson and j the experts of the department of agrij culture relative to the necessity for ! relief of the growers of Sea Island cotI ton in Georgia, South Carolina and j Florida. It seems that this kind of | cotton has been a victim of four kinds ; of disease?wilt, rust, root knot and | anthracnose. Methods have been disI covered to offset or cure the first three, j in some degree, at least, but the last ! named has done a great deal of devasi tation. It attacks the boll before it is matured, drying it up and making the ' staple yellow stained and of no length. In some sections the crop has been almost entirely destroyed. Mr. Brantley had conferences with the secretary ana witn Dr. Danaway, chief of the bureau of plant industry, and Assistant Pathologist Orton was sent to Georgia to investigate. The necessity for some remedy is so evident that It is designed to establish experiment farms near Blackshear and p Valdosta, at which the government experts will seek to produce a strain which will resist the disease. It is also the aim of the department j !. to demonstrate the rvalue of a proper | i rotr.tion of the crops. As Georgia | J produces mere than half the Sea Is- i I land cotton crop of the country, and | as most of that is raised in his district, ;[ Mr. Brantley will use his best efforts to secure from congress the necessa* ry appropriations for the experiments. ? He believes he has assurances which guarantee success. The southern congressmen will co-operate with him. WORK IS THE SOLUTION. i * t Race Problem Touched Upon by Booker Wellington In New York. Booker T. Washington, in a speecn at New York before the colored branch . of the Young Men's Christian Associa, tion declared the real problem for the i colored parent in the north is not that of getting his son and daughter edu cated, but of finding a job for them af* ter they receive their diplomas. I "If a white boy gets a place in an of| flee and does his duty, he is assured of j advancement," said the speaker, but \ the black boy has got to work twice as [| hard to get there. Any man, black | or white, who has learned to do someII thing better than his fellows, has solv-s ed his problem. "In some parts o} the country I fear . we are getting the reputation of being willing to part with our votes for a i price.
