ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1909. 3 SUFFRAGE WillCome to Women If They Really Want It, Says President Elect. Refers To Recent Utterance of Tillman. Declares Statements That Negro Needs No Education Are Made For Sensational Effect, Not From Any Real Spirit--Discussed Missouri Politics. Augusta, January might be considered an entirely new' point of attack on the "Solid South" was made -day by the President-elect when he put in a good word for the warmth and ardor of Northern men "who know a good thing when they see it," in the charm and beauty of Southern young women.

This lighter vein of Mr. Taft's humor wag given vent before what he termed bouquet of bright a and charming the students of Tubman High School for Girls. The songs of the class to which he listened preceding his brief talk, he declared, had carried him off in enjoyable fancy, and his introduction to speak was "a rude awakening." The charming appearance of the student body, he said, impressed itself on him as an entirely new and convincing argument in favor of the separation of the sexes for education. The speaker admitted his point of view had changed somewhat on the question of woman suffrage since, when at 16, he ardently advocated that doctrine in his graduation paper because of the admiration he had for the intelligence of the girl members of his class in Woodward High School, Cincinnati. When the trained and intelligent women of the country wanted suffrage, he predicted they would get it, just on the very natural ground that they always get what they want.

Went To Negro School. From this gathering, which was held in celebration of the centennary of Edgar Allan Poe, Mr. Taft went at once to Hains Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes, where he delivered an address on the benefits of industrial education. This school, which was founded by women and has been for 23 years under the supervision of Lucy C. Laney, a negress, has 700 students.

"That a colored woman," Mr. Taft said, "could have constructed this great tution of learning and brought it to its present state of usefulness speaks volumes for the capacity of that woman." After reviewing the hardships and struggles which the work had entalled he continued: I shall go out of this meeting, despite the distinguished presence here, carrying in my memory only the figure of that woman who has been able to create all this." Rebukes Tillman. Expressing the most profound sympathy for the struggle upward of the negro race Mr. Taft remarked, having in mind the recent utterances of Senator Tillman: do not think it inappropriate to refer to some of the expressions that fall from the lips of men prominent in political life that are utterly lacking in any sympathy of that kind, and that are cruel and abrupt in their meaning, if they are to be given the meaning that the words naturally bear. 1 refer to those gentlemen who deem it necessary to affirm that in the interest of this country the negro race should have no education.

"Now, I am glad to know and believe that those men in their hearts do not believe that: that it comes rather 'from a desire to say something that. shall have a sensational effect than it does from a real spirit-1 was going to say of cruelty toward a race that deserves from those of us who are white all the aid, all the assistance and all the sympathy we can give them. I know that you know that those expressions do not represent the feeling of the great body of intelligent white men in the South." Captain Thomas Allen, of Chicago, has been added to the Board of Engineers that 1S to accompany Mr. Taft to Panama. Missouri polities was the subject which Mr.

Taft talked of to-day with W. H. Dickey, who not only, Mr. Taft said, spoke of his own availability for a Cabinet position, but also that of Charles Nagle and President Swinnie, of the First National Bank of Kansas City. John A.

Stewart, President of the New York League of Republican Clubs, will see Mr. Taft to-morrow with George F. Cunningham, an independent North Caro'ina Democrat. Mr. Taft will address the people of Augusta late to-morrow from a platforin erected in the center of the town, and will be given a banquet night at Hampton Terrace.

WITH THE MAYOR Of Charleston, S. the President Elect Will Play Golf. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIBER. Charleston, S. January are complete for the reception of President-elect Taft and party here Saturday before he sails on the cruiser North Carolina for Panama Monday.

The party will be accompanied from Augusta by a local committee consisting of J. C. Hemphill, P. H. Gadsden and J.

C. W. Kollock, and at a banquet in the evening he will make the only speech. He will attend services Sunday morning at the Unitarian Church, but he will not deliver the address which he had first planned to make. After the services the party will visit the Oaks, the country home of Edwin Parsons, where they will be received by Charles Parsons, a friend and Yale College classmate of the President elect.

Hopkins is now thrown into a joint assembly of the two branches of the Legislature. The joint session to-morrow. which became a certainty to-day when the Senate concurred in the House resolution calling the two Houses together jointly at noon tomorrow. it is expected will proceed to ballot upon each legislative day until 8 choice is reached.

It was generally conceded prior to the time of the calling of the rolls to-day that the members in the main would vote their primary instructions and that no choice would result. The balloting occasioned but one surprise. This came in the House when three members voted for Speaker Edward D. Shurtleff for Senator, despite the fact that his name was not formally presented in nomination. All three Representatives are from districts that voted Hopkins's instructions in the primaries.

Ag each candidate was placed in nomination his friends and supporters applauded. The Democrats were more demonstrative than the Republicans, greeting the name of Stringer with a few cheers, in addition to generous applause. Representative Chipperfield's announcement, when he voted, that "under instructions 1 vote on this ballot for Albert J. is regarded as indicative of the disposition on the part of several of the Shurtleff followers to vote for the Speaker for Senator should an opportunity present itself. In the main the men who elected Shurtleff Speaker, It is declared, are willing to vote for him for Senator.

The First Ballot. The Arst ballot showed the following re- Candidates. House. Senate. Total.

In addition to the 75 actually present two votes were cast in the caucus from absentees also agreeing to the choice of the caucus, making a total of 77 members of the General Assembly who Senator Hopkins can count on with certainty. What He Lacks. This makes Honkins the Republican organization candidate, but does not insure his election, as he needs 103 votes in joint session. Senator John C. McKenzie, of Jo Daviess County, who placed Senator Hopkins in nomination six years ago, performed a similar office to-day.

Representative John L. of East St. Louis, and Frank W. Shepherd, from Senator Hopkins's home district, seconded his nomination. Lawrence B.

Church. Representative A. E. Price. of Kane County, the home of Senator Hopkins.

seconded the nomination of Congressman Foss. William E. Mason was placed in nomination by Representative Oliver Sollitt. who excused his action by saying that Mr. Mason asked the other candidates before the primary to agree to abide by the result.

and at that time each refused to be committed. By their action, Mr. Soliitt argued, the other candidates made it possible for Mr. Mason's name to be presented in the Assembly as a candidate. HITCH IN MISSOURI Over Re-Election of Stone, But He Has Clear Majority.

Jefferson City, January J. Stone will be re-elected United States Senator to-morrow unless the predictions of all party leaders fail.

Committee Is To Decide Course To Pursue. Clark Calls the Body an Engine of Oppression. Once Again All Pension Agencies, Except That at Washington, Are Ordered "Abolished." SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Washington, D. January the protests of the Democrats the Republicans of the House of Representatives to-day passed a resolution providing for the appointment of a special committee of five to investigate and report upon the parliamentary propriety of the tirade delivered yesterday against the President by sentative Willett (Democrat), of New York, Three members of the committee, which later was appointed by the Speaker, are Republicans and two are Democrats; and it is quite safe to assume that their report will not be as unanimous as was the mendation of the special committee which recently recommended that the President's Secret Service be laid upon the table.

The committee is required to determine whether or not Willett's speech should be expunged from the Record. The action taken by the House is similar to that taken on that portion of the President's annual message referring to the Secret Service. As soon as the House convened to-day Representative Hughes, of West Virginia, moved that the speech of Mr. Willett be expunged from the Record. Representative Payne, of New.

York, moved, as a substitute, that the matter be referred to a committee for investigation and report. Hughes Offers Resolution.

The Speaker then appointed the committee. Representative Clark. of Missouri, minorit; leader, objected to the resolution as adopted because the words of the speech objected to were not specified. He contended that the objectionable part of the speech should be incorporated or the action of the House would at some future time be taken as a precedent to be used by the majority as "an engine of oppression." Brigadier General William Crozier, Chief of Ordnance of the army, appeared before the House Committee on Appropriations, which is considering the fortifications appropriation bill.

The estimates of this year, for fortifications in the insular possessions, submitted by the Ordnance Department, are nearly $2,000,000, as compared with less than $1,000,000 last year. A large increase is asked for arsenals. The appropriations sought in the fortifications bill are nearly three times the amount appropriated last year. Autos Cause Discussion. The urgent deficiency appropriation bill was passed by the House -day.

It was called up by Representative Tawney. Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, as soon as the pension appropriations bill had been disposed of. The item of $12,000 for the purchase of automobiles for the use of the President caused some discussion. Representative Heflin, of Alabama, proposed adding an appropriation of $30,000 for the distribution of seeds by the Agricultural Department. A point of order against this amendment was sustained.

This proceedings resulted in a debate, in which Representatives Mann, of Illinois, and Tawney, of Minnesota, argued against the amendment. Representative Candler, of Mississippi, claimed that there was a deficit in the funds for the purchase of seeds available for distribution, while Mr. Mann declared that the deficiency was in seeds and not in money. Mr. Candler said that Congress should appropriate money for seeds for the farmers rather than $12,000 for automobiles for the President.

Mr. Tawney moved that the bill be voted upon. The vote on the motion resulted in a tie, and Representative Fisher, who was in the chair, cast his vote for the motion, carrying it by 80 for and 79 against. The bill was then passed. When the pensions appropriation bill was taken up in the House to-day Representative Taylor, of Ohio, precipitated a debate on the proposed consolidation of the pension agencies by offering an amendment providing that the salaries of the 17 Pension Agents which the bill proposes to abolish be continued.

Those who argued in favor of the amendment were: Representatives Alexander, of New York; Dalzell, of Pennsylvania; Stafford, of Wisconsin; Townsend, of Michigan; Kahn, of Callfornia, and Wanger, of Pennsylvania. Representative Keifer (Ohio), in closing the debate on the Taylor amendment, opposed its adoption, claiming that the discontinuance of the agencies would be in the interest of, economy. The amendment offered by Mr. Taylor was defeated by a vote of 124 nays to 71 yeas. The provision of the bill authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to adopt certain methods and regulations for paying pensions was stricken out on a point of order by Mr.

Taylor. These authorized the Secretary to inaugurate a system of paying pensions quarterly and to arrange the pensioners in three groups. The bill was then passed. The House has all the pension agencies in the country, with the exception of the one in Washington. every winter for several years, only to find that the Senate would not stand for it, and it is expected that the Senate will reverse the House again.

The discontinuance of the agencies at Columbus, Louisville and 14 other cities was authorized in the pension appropriation bill which was passed this afternoon. Members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs have begun to view with suspicion every bill that carries an invitation to any foreign organizations to hold its annual convention in this country. Representative J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia, secured a favorable report on a resolution authorizing the Secretary of State to invite the permanent Interrational Association of Navigation Congresses to hold Its twelfth congress in this country in 1911, only by promising that Phi.adelphia would bear all the expense and the National Government would not be asked for one cent. The Tuberculosis Congress cost the Government $25,000, and $50,000 is asked for the approaching prison congress President Roosevelt to-day transmitted to Congress, with his approval, a letter from Secretary of State Root asking that authority be given for the appointment of a commission of three Americans to go to Li- beria.to assist that republic in strengthening its hold on the reins of Government.

Tue President, in his indorsement of the proposition, asks for an appropriation of $20,000 for the payment of the expenses of the commission. The President's message on the subject was as follows: earnestly hope that the recommendation of the Secretary of State will be approved and that Congress will grant the appropriation of $20,00 to pay the expenses of a commission, who shall go to Liberia to examine into the s'tuation, confer with the officers the Liberan Government and with the representatives of other governments actually present in Monrovia and report recommendations as' to the specitic action on the part of the Government of the United States most apt to render effective relief to the republic of Liberia under the present circumstances. relations of the United States to Liberia are such as to make it an imperative duty for us to do all in our power to help the little republic, which is struggling against such adverse conditions. I very earnestly hope that the action proposed will be taken." In his letter to the President, Secretary Root states that in June last commissioners from Liberia applied to the United States for a guarantee by this country of the territorial and political integrity of Liberia. Upon being convinced that such a guarantee was impossible, the commissioners requested that the United States should lend to Liberia officers to aid in the conduct of its administration and should confer with the governments of other countries having interests in west coast of Africa, particularly with Great Britain, with 8 view to ascertaining how best to render assistance and to give Liberia the moral support which would result from evidence of interest in her welfare on the part of the United States.

Need Said To Be Imperative. After full consideration and conferences with the commissioners and with Booker T. Washington, with representatives of other interested Powers and reports from representatives of the United States in Liberia, the conclusion reached by the State i Department is that it is quite clear that Liberia is very much in need of assistance; that the United States can help her substantially and that it is our duty to do so. Mr. Root says that the condition of Liberia is really serious.

The 40,000 or 50,000 civilized negroes, mostly descendants of colonists from the United States, find it especially difficult to control the native tribes, or because of lack of education to conduct their own Government in accordance with modern requirements. A new method by which it is proposed by the Government to provide additional funds for reclamation and forestry work 1s embraced in a bill introduced in the House by Representative Steenerson, of Minnesota. This measure gives the Secretary of the Interior the authority to dispose of merchantable timber on the unreserved and una appropriated public domain in the various states named in the reclamation act of 1902. One half of the proceeds is to go to the "reclamation fund' established in the act of 1902, one quarter to be disbursed by the Secretary of Agriculture in the establishment of forest reserves and the remaining quarter to be used by the Secretary of the Interior in connection with the construction and maintenance of works for reclamation of swamp and overflowed lands belonging to the United States.

New York, January deciding that the duties on shipments of china imported by Haviland Co.

should be assessed according to the prices prevailing at Limoges, France, the place of manufacture, instead of on the higher rate ruling at Paris, Judge Martin, in the United States Circuit Court: here, to-day put an end to litigation which has attracted the widest attention among importers. The question assumed international importance last summer through the representations of the French Government interest of chinaware manufacturers of that country. Judge Martin finds that Limoges and not Paris is the principal wholesale market for china imported to this country, and that its export prices are therefore the true criterion of value. He upholds the right of the importer to carry a reappraisement case into the Courts. Judge Martin ruled further that the advance in prices made by the appraisers were unwarranted.

Buckenheimer Bros. Distillers, Pittsburg' POLITICAL GOSSIP. "Mr. Mullen 18 the right man for the yesterday declared Mayor Markbrelt in speaking of Councilman Mullen' a candidacy for the position of Director of Public Safety, which is to be created under the new Paine law. "I cannot say at this early date whether or not 1 will 8p- point Mr.

Mullen, but I will that have the highest opinion of his capabilities. I do not know of any other man more famiilar with municipal affairs, and pecially the affairs of Cineinnati. I think very highly of his character. Despite the abuse heaped upon him by newapapers, belleve he has a heart of pure gold. He is an able man-a man capable of creditably Alling any office, whether it be that of Police Commissioner, Public Service Commis-1 stoner or even Mayor." Now that the question is up, it may be interesting to know the provisions of the Paine law, as they affect the position for which Mr.

Mullen 1s 8 candidate, The Paine law provides for the appointment of the Director of Public Safety on August 1, and the Director of Public Service on January 1. The province of the former is defined in the following section: Director of Public Safety shall be the chief administrative authority of the Fire, Police, Charity, Correction and Building and shall have all powers and duties connected with and incident to the appointment, regulation and government of these departments. He shall make all contracts in the name of the city with reference to the management of these departments, and for the erection and repair of all buildings or Improvements in connection with said departments, He shall manage and make all contracts in reference to police stations, fire houses, cemeteries and reform schools, houses of correction, infirmaries, hospitals, workhouses, farms, pest houses and other charitable and formatory institutions now or hereafter tablished or maintained." The law provides that the Mayor shall have supreme power, however, and that he may at any time "remove the Director of 'Public Safety and the heads of Other sections provide that the Director of Pubiie Safety "shall classify the service in the Police and Fire Depar ments in conformity with the ordinance of Council, and shall make all rules for the regulation and discipline of such departments." Another section empowers the Director of Public Safety to handle all moneys connected with the departments under' his Bupervision. How far-reaching these powers are may be determined from the fact that he will have almost unlimited control of the Fire and Police Departments, the City Infirmary, the City Hospitals, the City Workhouse, the House of Refuge and the I Building Department. "The Fire Department comprises 527 men, property' worth several million dollars, and expends annually, on an average, the Police Department comprises 622 men, and spends annually about $746,000: the infirmary spends 262; the City Hospital, the workhouse, the House of Refuge, 860, and the Building Department, $27,920.

The salaries of the Director of Public Safety and the Director of Public Servibe will be fixed by Council. It will probably be something like $6,000 year the salary now received by the Mayor, the Chief of Police and the Chief of the Fire Department. It is said that Counell, when it acts on the salary question, will also increase the salary of the Mayor.
