WHAT WILL HE DO ABOUT CRUM? CHARLESTON’S COLLECTOR. rMB pnESIDEST'S ACTION AN IN TERESTING QUESTION. , rum Hn* Unn Serving Nearly Four IrH r an the President'* Appointee \\ ithoot Pay—Puts in Ilia Voucher Regularly—The Preaident’a Inteu tiou Said to Be Not to Withdraw the Negro'* Nomination Because ~l His Color, but if the Senate \gnins Rejects Hia Confirmation a Netv Nome Will Be Sent In. By R. M. Larner. Washington, Nov. 16.—As the as sembling of Congress approaches, the question arises in political circles. What action does the President in tend to take in the now famous Crum case’" U r . Crum is the negro who has so frequently been nominated Collector of the port of Charleston, but has never been confirmed by the Senate. The President insists in putting it up to the Senate to either confirm or reject Crum, and in the meantime Crum is holding down the office, but serving without pay. The Controller of the Treasury has decided that Crum is not allowed to draw salary until he is confirmed. For nearly four years Crum has been performing the duties of Collector at the port of Charleston, under a series of continuous appointments made by President Roosevelt. Regularly, Col lector Crum, in his quarterly estimates for salary , submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, has inserted the amount of his own salary. With equal regularity the accounting officers of the Treasury have stricken out that item, so that up to date Crum, has not drawn a cent of salary for such du ties as he may have performed. When Crum was first appointed the fees of the office entitled the collector to a salary of about $1,700 per annum. This year the transfactions at that port fell off, so that under ordinary condi tions the collector's salary would be about $1,300. It is understood by those who pro fess to be familiar with the President’s intentions regarding this extraordinary case, that he does not propose with drawing the nomination of Crum sim ply because of his color. If the Senate rejects his confirmation, anew name will be sent to the Senate. When the Crum case was last considered by the Ssnate Committee on Commerce, it was reported favorably, by a strict party vote. The Democrats succeeded in pre venting a vote at the close of the fast session, and Crum was at once given a recess appointment, under which he is now administering the office, confident that he will eventually be compensat ed in full for his services, by special act or otherwise.

New York, Nov. 16.—The crowd at the horse show In Madison Square Garden to-day was the largest of the present meeting. In the afternoon nearly all the boxes were filled with fashionably dressed women, and 10,000 persons witnessed the exhibition. The evening attendance was the largest and most brilliant so far this week. The attraction was the Wal dorf-Astoria cup for gig horses, and to see this event society arrived early. The boxes were well filled and the gowns of the women proved one of the leading attractions to the thou sands who thronged the balconies. The most important prize awarded this week, the challenge cup, went to Mr. Jordan’s black hackney stallion, Gentleman John. As this horse won the cup last year, to-day's victory gives Mr. Jordan permanent possession of the trophy. Lord Brilliant, Mrs. John Gerken’s chestnut gelding, one of last year's blue ribbon winners, won first honors in the class for horses attached to runabouts over Mrs. J. B. M. Gros venor’s horse, Elevation, and Alfred G. Vanderbilt’s Lady Katherine, out of a field of twenty competitors. An interesting event was the four-in-hand contest between Mrs. Grosvenor and Miss Ella S. Ross of England, which was won by the former. The Corinthian class of jumpers was won by Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., with Kingsman. Eben D. Jordan has won the most prizes this week. His horses have taken ten blue ribbons, three seconds and one third. THREE MET DE*ATH BY INHALING GAS. in Oue of the Case* Only Was There Evidence of Suicide. New York, Nov. 16. —Three persons are dead and another is at a hospital in a serious condition as a result of inhaling illuminating gas to-day. In only one case was there anything to indicate that the victim had invited death. After eking out a wretched existence for several months past, ill, unable to work and dependent upon the charity of her neighbors, Mrs. Rosa Rosen berger locked herself into her little basement room in the rear of an East Side tenement, opened half a dozen gas jets and lay down to die. Her body was found by the Janitress of the building. Frederick Brandt, who called himself a “professor of astrology,’’ turned on the gas by accident in his lodging in West Forty-second street and lost his life. Accidental disconnections of a tube from the gas stove in his room on East Thirty-seventh street is supposed to have been responsible for the death of William Coffey, a roofer. Coffey had been dead for hours when his body was found. Mrs. Mary Higgins, a domestic, was overcome by gas fumes in a furnished room in the East Side. She is now' at a hospital and will probably re cover, but her condition is critical. negrcTboy hanged IN CONNECTICUT. Paid the Penalty for Murder He Committed in August. Wethersfield, Conn., Nov. 17—Joseph Watson, the 18-year-old colored boy who murdered Henry Osborne of Hart ford, last August, paid the penalty for his crime this morning when he was put to death by hanging on the gal lows in the state prison. The drop was sprung at 12:09 o’clock and at 12:15 Dr. Fox, the prison physician, declared him dead. The reflex muscular action shown by Watson after the drop was sprung was remarkable. While suspended in the air and apparently after his neck had been broken, he clasped his hands, then drew them apart and finally let them drop to his side. Shortly before midnight the sacra ment was administered to the con demned boy and later he knelt in pray er with his spiritual adviser, the Rev. A. A. Crook, of Hartford. UP GO THEPRICES OF BUILDING MATERIALS. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 16.—The Southern Yellow Pine, Sash.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that char coal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize Us value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; It is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present In the stomach and Intestines and car ries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on ions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Im proves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels; It disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggist* sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is In Stuart’s Charcoal Lozen ges- they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condi tion of the general health, better com plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it Is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefit* of charcoal, says: “I ad vise Btuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to clear the com plexion and purify the breath, mouth and throst. I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but 25 cent* a box at drug stores, and although In some sense a patent preparation, yet I be lieve 1 get more and better charcoal in Btuart’s Charcoal lsenge than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1904 WILL BE FEW CONTESTED SEATS SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS WHO WEST THROUGH THE FORM OK RUSMSG FOR CONGRESS. Will Have Little Cliance fnr the gS.OOO Allowed in Contented Elec tion*—Few Contest* Likely to He Entertained on Account of the Large Republican Majority in the House—Cabinet Maker*, Tariff Re visionists and “Trust Musters’’ Are Getting Rosy, By R. M. Larner. Washington, Nov. 16.—The large Re publican majority in the next House of Representatives is apt to have a disappointing effect upon Southern Re publicans, who went through the form of running for Congress, in order to lay claim to the $2,000 allowed in each contest. If the Republican margin in the next House had been very narrow, it is probable that some of the South ern contested election eases would be decided against the Democratic mem ber-elect. As the Republicans have more majority than Speaker Cannon knows what to do with, it is not prob able that one-half of the contests contemplated, will be entertained. It is an old game the Southern Re publicans have been playing success fully for a number of years, under in spiration. it is believed, from crafty political lawyers at Washington. Since the close of the Civil War there has hardly been a Congress without a con tested election case from the Charles ton district. The Republican contest ants have rarely been able to convince a Republican House of the justice of these chronic contests, but they are made just the same, every two years, because of that tempting allowance of $2,000. President Roosevelt may have to re vive his explanation bureau. The cabinet makers are busy reconstruct ing his cabinet for him, and the tariff revisionists, led by Representative Babcock, are demanding an extra ses sion of Congress Immediately after inauguration. The trust busters are also active with announcements that Attorney General Moody is sitting up late at nights preparing to “run amuck” of the beef trust, the railroad trust and any other old trust in sight. In the meantime it is understood the President proposes to withhold any ob servations he has to make as to his future policy for his forthcoming mes sage to Congress. He hopes to com plete his message before starting for the St. Louis Exposition, and to that end he will labor during the coming two weeks. B R EC KINRIDGESUFFER S STROKE OF PARALYSIS. Ills Condition Serious lint Not Nec essarily t'rltienl. Lexington, Ky„ Nov. 16.—C01. W. C. P. Breckinridge, former congress man from the Ashland district, and one of the best known orators and law yers in the South, was stricken with paralysis at his law office this morn ing, and is seriously ill. Some weeks ago while in Marquette, Mich., trying a law case. Col. Breek enridge contracted a severe cold, and upon his return to Lexington he suf fered the seennd illness of his life. He had never recovered from that illness, and had attended to little business, though going to his office every morn ing. This morning, while seated at his desk, he was stricken with paralysis. His stenographer hurriedly summoned his son, Desha Breckenridge, and phy sicians. They worked over Col. Breckenridge in his office for several hours, after which he was removed in an ambulance to his residence. An ex amination by physicians showed the right side paralyzed. To-night he is slightly improved, though he is not yet able to speak. Physicians pronounce his condition serious, but not imme diately critical. Should he suffer an other paralytic stroke, however, it is feared the result would prove fatal. CONDUCTOR INDICTED FOR RESPONSIBILITY. He Mint Answer for the Wreck Near Newmarket. Tenn. Knoxville.

The Credentials Committee failed to report on the status of William Sohardt, president of the Chicago fed eration.

Dabney was to-day Inaugurated pres ident of the University of Cincinnati. Mr. Dabney In htn Inaugural address, discussed “Democracy and the School.” He said in part; “Let us cast out of our minds all half-hearted arguments for the free education of all the people. It Is true that It pays a community to educate all Its youth, but the public school Is not a charity Institution. School houses and schoolmasters are cheaper than jails and soldiers; but we do not found the public school on any such ground as this. Such arguments for free schools are little less than an In sult to a free people. The true de mocracy Is something nobler than a policeman guarding and protecting our property and our rights.

Che Foo, Nov. 16. Evening.—The Port Arthur newspaper Novikral of Nov. 11, copies of which were brought to Che Foo this morning by the Rus sian torpedo destroyer Rastoropny, prints brief details of a daring exploit which resulted in the sinking of a four funneled Japanese torpedo boat de stroyer. Japanese torpedo boats and one de stroyer were engaged in removing mines, mostly their own, from Tache bay on Nov. 3. Midshipman Dimitrleft conceived the idea that he could tor pedo the Japanese boats under cover of darkness as the latter were very busy and enjoying a fancied security.

Securing a steam launch from the battleship Retvizan, carrying a torpedo tube and accompanied by half a dozen silent volunteers. Midshipman Diml trieff, in the dense .darkness, slipped out of the harbor and succeeded in evading the Japanese searchlights. Circling around the Japanese boats with the launch moving at top speed, the midshipman came within striking distance from the seaward side and launched his projectile. It sped through to the destroyer. There wits a sudden explosion and the destroyer sank immediately. The launch then sped towards the harbor, but was not pursued, the Jap anese evidently having not observed •the launch, and thinking that the de stroyer had struck one of their own mines. Midshipman Dimitrieff is the hero of the day at Port Arthur, according to the paper. SAYS ALL THeToRTS ARE IN RUSSIANS’HANDS. Che Foo, Nov. 16.—Commander Pe lem of the Rastoropny, In an interview on his adventurous voyage, said: “I left Port Arthur at midnight In a blinding snowstorm.

We reached Che Foo without mishap of any kind.” The commander of the torpedo boat destroyer was optimistic with refer ence to Port Arthur.
