23r Faatberstone on Prohibition. |
Greenwood, Special. ? Hon. C. C.
Featherstone of Laurens passed
through here laat week and while here
was questioned as to his attitude on
the matter of prohibition in the com
ing campaign. Mr. Featharstone
stated that he was for prohibition
without anv provisions or conditions
to it. In this connection, he stated
that he had made his position clear
about a month ago in which he stat
ed that ho was for straightout pro
hibtiion. , 4 .
Mr. Fcatherstone stated that four
or flvo months ago he gave an in
terview on the subject advocating for
the present the ennetment of a law
making the entire State dry, but per
mitting counties where prohibition
sen'iment was weak to vote in the
sale of whiskey. Continuing lie ?aid:
** A great majoritv of my prohibition
friends in the State endorsed my
views. . . aX .
"I stntcd in that interview that,
of course, what we ultimately sought
was iron-clad. State-wide prohibition,
and further that in my judgement the
time was not far off when the Sate
would he rea.lv for it; and further,
t lint when there was sufficient public
sentiment behind it, I would then
ho in favor of State-wide prohibi
tion. . . . . ? T
"Since giving out that interview, I
l ave been in close touch with prohi
bitionists throughout the State, en
deavoring to ascertain the present
strength of the sentiment and making
diligent inquiry as to the enforcement
<?f the law in dry counties. 1 have
also been studving the reports ot the
dispensarv auditor, and to my amaze
m?Mit, I find that the county dispen
saries are selling almost as much li
quor as did the old dispesarv when
it was in full blast. Thev sold in the
last vear three million dollars wort h
of liquor. In addition to this, 1 find
that the dispensary counties are sell
ing tremendous quantities of whiskey
to contiguous dry territory.
"In this state of affairs I have de
termined to stump the State this \ ear,
advocating straiirhtout prohibition.
The otilv wav to find out the strength
of the prohibition sentiment is to sub
mit the question squarely to the peo
ple. If a majority of the people are
in favQr of State prohibition, then we
will srivo it an honest, fair trial. The
prohibitionists of the State are no
fanatics, but on the contrary are sen
sible. practical men.
"If the practical workimrs ot a
State prohibition law should demon
strate that it was impossible to en
force certain counties where the sen
timent is weak, then it will be a very
easv matter to tack on a local option
feature, permittine those counties,
under the most rigid restrictions, to
vote in the sale of whiskey Suffi
cient ?nto the day is the evil thereof.
"What we want." said Mr. Feath
erstone. "is to give a jrenerRl prohi
bition 'aw an honest, fair trial.
Mr Feat herst one said in repaid to
the present low: "We have a substi
t,,te for the old dispensary law that
}-: nothing but a reproduction of the
o'd svstem on n smaller scale. In
time he thinks this substitute will de
velop all the bad features of the ohl
" lie n??o said that so far as he was
peivonr.'lv concerned he would prefer
J,ot t,, run this year, but his prohibi
tion friends insist that the time is
ripe, (and he agrees with them asTo
conditions) and that he feels he must
respond to what lie regards as a great
mo'-al ahlisation.
lie ,-tated that lie hoped the ques
tion of prohibition ov no prohibition
should bo submitted to the people in
the primary and he hoped the State
Democratic executive committee
would have this done. He Mid:
4 4 The people have a right to vote up
on this question and settle it at the
ballot box, and that he knows of no
other practical way of presenting the
cause to the people other than from
the stump, during the campaign.

SHOT COLORED MAN
Congressman Heflin Uues His
Pistol on Darkey
AN UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE
Alabama Representative Promptly
Attacks Negro Who Resents Hit
Kind Admonition to Oease Drink
ing in the Presence of Ladies.
Washington, D. C., Special. ? In a
desperate affry on Pennsylvania aye
nne car Friday night a negro and a
white man were shot by Congressman
Thomas J. Heflin, of Alabama. Thos.
Lumby, the negro, was shot in the
head and is .in a critical condition
and Thomas McCreary, a New York
horse trainer, is suffering from a
wound in the leg. The shooting of
McCreary was accidental. Mr. Hef
lin was arrested and taken to the
sixth police precinct station, where
the charge of assault with intent to
kill was placed against him. Later
he was released on $5,000 bail.
The shooting occurred shortly after
7 o'clock as the car reached the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Sixth street, bound for Capitol Hill.
Congressman Heflin, accompanied
by Congressman Edwin J. EUerbe, of
South Carolina, had boarded the car
at Twelfth street and Pennsylvania
avenue. Mr. Heflin being on his way
to deliver a temperance lecture at
the Metropolitan Methodist Episco
pal church, Four-and-a-half street
and John Marshall Place. Upon
boarding the car he observed two
negro passengers, one of whom was
Thomas Lumby, and who was in the
act of taking a drink from a bottle
of whiskey. There was a number of
other passengers, including several la
dies. Mr. Heflin says he remonstrat
ed with Lumby, and asked him to
stop drinking, saying: ''Don't take
that drink, there are ladies here and
it is not right. Tt is against the law
for you to do this thing in a street
ear and I hope you will put that
bottle away." The other negro, who
was sober, attempted to take the
bottle away from his friend, but fail
ed. It is said that Lumby became of
fended at Mr. Heflin's remonstrances
and applied vile epithets. As the car
reached Sixth street nnd Pennsylva
nia avenue Mr. Heflin and Lumby
wore engaged in a desperate struggle.
Mr. Heflin, who is a large, powerful
man, succeeded in throwing Lumby
jiff the car as it came to a stop. Most
of the occupants of the car hastily
alighted, including Mr. and Mrs. Mc
Creary. The negro fcl to tho ground
on beinc: pushed off the car. He arosr>
and it is said began cursing Mr. Hef
lin again and made a motion for his
hip pocket as if to draw a weapon,
whereupon Mr. Heflin fired at him
| through the car window, missing the
negro and hitting Thomas McCreary,
who was about 20 feet from the car.
Mr. Heflin fired once or twice again,
one of the shots striking Lumby in
the head above the ear. Lumby
ran a short distance and fell. An
ambulance was called and he was
taken to the Emergency Hospital. The
conductor of the car disappeared und
Offlvcr (Vorge N. Scrivcn took
charge of the car and ran it to Third
P.nd Pennsylvania avenue.
There Representative Heflin was
escorted l v Officer Scrivcn to the
Capitol Hotel and later was taken to
the police siation in a cab.
Tie was not looked up.
Mr. Heflin explained at the station
his reason for going armed. He is
author of a "Jim Crow" car law in
the District of Columbia and says
that -inee he introduced the measur"
he has feceived many letters of a
threatening character, and secured
peruiivurn from the authorities to go

FLAYED THE TRUSTS

Senator LaTcpeftte Finishes an

CAPITAL TOO MUCH CENTERED
Wiaconda Senator Concludes Three
Saji* Speech Showing Up thi Ini
quities of Our Financial System.
Washington, Special. ? Upon the
conclusion of Senator LaFollette '?
?peech on the Aid rich currency bill
in the Senate a plan was decided up
on by which Senator Aldrieh will
?amove to take up the bill and con
tinue its consideration until it has
'been disposed of.
Aldrieh also asked for unani
mous consent to take up the bill at
once and to dispose of it before ad
journment Thursday, but > to that
proposition Senator LoFolllette ob
jected on the ground that he feared
dctoate would be curtailed by such m
procedure.
The colloquy which resulted in this
announcement followed the conclu
sion of the third and last installment
of Senator LaFollette 's speech in
opposition to the Aldrieh bill. He
spoke for two hours. Resuming' his
speech Mr. LaFollette declared thnt
his statement thnt the industries of
this country were controlled by less
than one hundred men had been at
tacked as sensational. Declaring
that such was not the ease lie said
that he had been too conseVvative
and that in fact a much smaller num
ber of men dominate the industries.
"Along with this enormous in
crease in trust power has gone a
steady process of centralization in
tlie control of that power. Until now
the entire situation is dominated by
the Standard Oil-Morjran combina
tion." he declared. ''The old flights
between these two irreat powers have
been laid aside. Mr. Morgan's pic
ture adorns the wall of the inner
room of the Rockefellers at No. 20
Rroadway. In combination today
they are working together to srateher
in the smaller powers. Mr. Hill has
been taught that he must not oppose
the big ones. Standard Oil trot in
on the Oreat Northern ore deal. The
Gould interest are 'being swallowed
up by the combine. Morse and
Heinze were neatly pocketed during
the recent panic. The smaller trust
was given a drubbing and started in
the same direction. Vanderbilts can
no longer retain their important con
trol and themselves see the handwrit
ing on the wall."
Growth of Trusts.
The Senator quoted John Moody
to show an enormous growth in trust
consolidation and capitalization in
four years. In 1904 Mr. Moody
placed the capitalization of the in
dustrial franchises and railroad
trusts at over $20,000,000,000. That
r.*nount lind increased more thnn
$11,000,000,000 or more than 55 per
cent. The $31,000,000,000, he said,
did not represent the financial com
binations. banks, trust and insurance
companies.
Mr. LaFollette read several lists of
eminent financiers to whom he ac
corded various degrees of power in
the control of industries. 11c in
cluded Senator Depew, of New York,
as nmong those who exercised large
power and held many directorships
in the form of delegated power exer
cised by them in n mere representa
tive capacity. Mr. Depew was in his
scat and crenernl laughter followed.
Mr. LaFollette named as next af
ter Morgan and the Rockefellers n
croup of fourteen men who he said
were "bisr operators and men of
lnrge power and interests in their
own rights." Tlt^se m?n, he said,
find their brtst interests "in working
in hnrmonv with Morsrnn and Stand
ard Oil." No combination which
they could form among themselves of
others could cope with that power,
he declared. In this list of fourteen,
he placed the following men: W. K.
Vanderbilt. August Belmont. Frede
rick Wyerhauscr. llenry f\ Friek, J.
Ogdcn Armour, George .1. Gould, Ja
rob Schiff. K. IT. Hnrriman, Thomas
F. Hynn. Louis S. Swiff, John Jacob
Astor. James Speyer, James J. Hill
and W. II. Moore,
The Lesser Stars.
A second class of men in the list
were the "stars of lesser magni
tude" but men of wealth and power
who work in with the combine and a
few of the higher rank of attorneys
and bank presidents of the system.
Of the third group including the
balance of the lists Senator LaFol
Icltp said: "While some of them ex
ercised lartte power and held many
directorships, it was a delegated pow
er exercised by them in a mere rep
resentative capacity."
Mr. LaFollctte concluded his
speech with a strong appeal to the
"progressive men" in the Senate to
stand together ami beat the bill.
He spoke of the activities of the
president and Mr. Bryan in com
batting with wronir doing among high
financiers .
"Whatever difference there may
be in party poliev or personality be
tween the President and Mr. Brynn
they are striving, each in his own
way, for certain fundamental truths.
Whatever mistakes Mr. Bryan may
have mnde in policy, whatever mis
take:; the President mav have mnde
in compromising legislation, they nre
believed in by the people because
they are fighiin? to preserve the
principle that tho nation should be
governed by the people."

A seen? somewhat oat of the or

Representatives because of a charge
made by Mr. Mann, of Illinois, that
Mr. Sulzer, of New York had put in
The Congressional Record what pur
ported to be a speech delivered by
him last Saturday, but which Mr.
Mann charged was not the one de

Sulser's claim that he and not Mr.
Mann was the author of the legisla
tion which brought the Department
>t Commerco and Labor into being.
A resolution offered by Mr. Mann to
sxpunge the printed speech from the
record was adopted by a strict party
vote, but not until after the House
had been treated to a bitter denun

characterized Mr. Mann as a "petti*

After passing a number of meas
ures relating to tho District oL' Co
lumbia, the House at 4:01 p r.i. ad
journed out of respect to the memory
of the late Senator William James
Brvati, of Florida.
The Senate for the fifth time in the
present session, adjourned because
death had robbed the body of one of
?ts members. The announcement that
Senator William James Bryan, of
Florida, died was made by Senatoi
Clay of Georgia, in the absence of
Senator Taliaferro, who left Wash
insfto early in the day as a member
!>f the committee which accompanied
the body to' "Jacksonville.
The untimely death of Senator
Bryan, who was familiarly known as
the "baby" of the Senate, a title in
which ho took pride, came home to
tho Senators with more foree than
any which had preceded it. The
jcven sorrows that have come upon
this branch of Congress sines ad
journment a year ago were a mattei
of solemn comment. The mortality
record of the present session already
is greater than in any previous en
tire Congress.
In submitting the usual resolu
tions providing for adjournment out
of respect to the memory of the
late Senator. Mr. Clay said:
Senate's Youngest Member.
"He was the youngest member of
this body ? had not reached his
thirty-second year at the time of hi?
death. His friends thought hq had
before him a career of great useful
ness. Had his life been spared
I doubtless their most sanguine ex
[ per tat ions would have been realized.
| He possessed a charming personality
and made friends wherever he went.
He was studious, industrious and
ambitious for his country's good
The people of Florida loved and
trusted him. and he loved them, and
Florida today mourns his death.
This is not the proper time tc
eulogize his memory. At some future
time and on an occasion nppointed
for thnt purpose the senior Senatoi
from Florida will join with othej
friends of Senator Rrvan in payina
to his memory that tribute of af
fection. confidence and esteem which
I know is felt by all."
The Senate \was opened ^th
prayer by the Rev. tllysses (*. K
Pierce, of All Souls Church, who re
ferred feelingly to the Senate's be
reavement and to the sorrow of the
family of the late Senator.
Announcement of the death of
Senator Rrvan was made in the
House by Mr. Clark of Florida, whe
offered resolutions lamenting the
death <>f "this illustrious son of oui
beloved Commonwealth. ' '
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and as a further mark ol
respect the House adjourned.
