TINKHAM'S DEMANDS UNABLE TO STAND WANTS HOUSE TO STOP ALL BUSINESS FOR NEGROES* VOTE. Chamber in Uproar. Members of His Party Kill Scheme By Sustaining Ruling of the Speaker. Washington, May 6.?Rising to a question of the highest constitutional ? -!!? t>Ar,Y.o?,/intcih'vp Tirikham. privilege, xvepi OOVU ~ Republican of Massachusetts, threw the house into an uproar today over a demand for immediate consideration of a resolution affecting the rights of negro voters in the south. The battle, mainly along parliamentary lines, raged for two hours, but in the end the proposal was rejected on a point of order by Representative Mon dell, the Republican leader. Still determined to press the fight, Mr. Tinkham, appealed from Speaker Gillett's decision sustaining the point of order, but the house stood by its speaker, 286 to 4 6. The Tinkham resolution, substantially the same as that presented during consideration of the reapportionment bill at the last session, had been expected, and Democrats were ready to jump into the fray. The Republican leader went to the front, however, and won the day alone. As framed by the Massachusetts! member, the resolution would have proceeded forthwith to make diligent! inquiry respecting the extent to i which the right to vote is denied or abridged to citizens of the United States, prior to preparation of a bill for reapportionment of the house. Demands Prompt Action. In the course of a long argument Mr. Tinkham declared the resolution was in order ahead of all business; that the same measure offered before was never reported out of committee, and that, if referred again, it would meet the same fate. He demanded immediate action, a proceeding which Mr. Mondell opposed, on the \ ground that uf the Tinkham plan I should prevail members could come | - T Wfc^r':.

He declared the Tinkham resolution was precisely the same in form as that offered by Representative Olmstead, of Pennsylvania, in 1901, and thrown out on a point of order, with Speaker Henderson in the chair. Quite So. Before Young Colonel Theodore Roosevelt became assistant secretary of the navy he was taken to task at a I dinner in Albany by a young matron. "I should have thought," she said reproachfully, "that you'd have stuck i to the army, colonel." "But politics are so much more ex-! I citing," the young legislator retorted.; "Politics? Politics more exciting than war?" "Yes, indeed," said Colonel Roose-1 velt. "In war, you see, you can be1 .killed only once, but think how many j times you can be killed in politics?"! ?gr % ' ' -L - - Vm, ?. /v-.r . . v>..; ? ;.-v v ^ 2*>s- r\ -.." >" /* .
