Littleton represents the O.vster Bay

more prominent of the new democrats

The weather was fine again today,

Miss Helen Taft left for Washington

TiCOX USE
By Associated Press.
Cincinnati, O., March 15. In a
sensational utterance Judge Frank
Gorman of the court of common pleas
today disitiissed the contempt
charges against George B. Cox, bank
er and political leader. He declared
the statements of Cox, which were
published after the latter s indict
ments for perjury, were ‘ insolent and
t'sls©.**
In dismissing the charges Judge
Gorman followed the finding of
majority of the committee of three
attorneys appointed to investigate
the circumstances of the newspaper
interview. Two of these men held
that neither Cox nor the newspaper
that published his remarks regarding
the grand jury and the court, was in
contempt. The other members of the
committee virtually absolved the
newspaper but held that it was the
province of the court to determine
whether Cox should be held on a
contempt charge.
Because of this varied finding and

El Paso, Tex., March 15.—“All the
United States demands of Mexico is
order, justice and independence,” de
clared Theodore Roosevelt this morn
ing at a breakfast given in his honor
by the Toltfec club.
The colonel’s remarks were the only
utterance he has made on the Mexi
can situation and came as a complete
surprise to the members of his party.
Col. Roosevelt ifed up to his ■'ob
servations on the Mexican trouble
by saying that the prosperity of his
neighbor was a condition of the pros
perity of any man. He declared that
honek dealing betw'een man and
man was the only certain foundation
of prosperity. The same thing was
true, he said, of the relations of
communities to each other.
Pausing as though to select his
words, he then stated that he
spoke for all Americans when he
said that all the United States de
manded of Mexico was order, justice
and independence.
Continuing he declared that this
country wished to see all of its
neighbors prosper; that his hearers
who knew from experience how the
“turmoil” to the South had affected
business. He said that this country
only demanded of its neighbors that
order shall reign in their borders and
that order should be established upon
justice.'

Nashville. Tenn., March 15.—Be
tween fifteen and twenty workmen,
mostly negroes, engaged in tearing
down the old wall of the J. H. Fall
& Co. building near the public square,
were caught w^hen tne walls w^ere
blown dow'n shortly before 11 o’clock
this morning.
Ever.v ambulance available and the
pairol wa.gon were on the scene im
mediately and a score or more of vol-
Uiiieers, among them Mayor Howse,
assisted the firemen in clearing away
the debris.
Probably twelve or fifteen of the
workmen may not be brought out alive
and the crowd on the outside can hear
their groans.
Work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible in the effort to rescue the
men but the task is hard and the
workers are hindered by the mass of
splintered timbers wiiich i)iled up w’ith
the tons of masonry when the walls
came crashing down.
When the fire department arrived
there w^ere four men in the fourth and
fifth story window's. These had narrow’
escapes. These were taken down by
the aerial truck. The men in the win
dows were Geor.ge M. Rodd.v, of At
lanta, who Avas superintending the job
of tearing down the w'alls for the Un
derwriters Salvage Corps; W. B. Lew
is, another man working for the in
surance company; Jam Hampton and
Charles Whitler, negroes. The negro
workmen were frightened and one
threatened to jump if the ladders were
not hoisted soon, but was prevented
by Mr. Lewis.
Both Roddy and Lew’is allowed the
negro workmen to descend first and
all were landed safely on the street.
Immediately upon reaching the pave
ment Mr. Lewis began checking off
the names of workmen who escaped,
some ten or twelve who w’ere working
on the second floor of the building in
the rear escaping with only a few
•minor cuts and bruises.
Thousands rushed to the scene of
the accident as the new>; spread
throughout the city and when the call
came for volunteers forty or fifty men
responded, among them being Mayor
How’^se, whose brother had been cut by
a piece of falling glass.
At noon rescuers had brought out
nine men, only one being dead at
that time, although several others
w’ere probably fatally injured. All w’ere
negroes.
Probably eight or ten men are in the
cellar of the building and rescuers are
responding to their cries for w’ater.
It is thought that several of these are
fatally injured.
Four Dead Bodies Recovered.
At 2 o’clock this afternoon fifteen
men had been recovered from the
ruins, four of whom were dead.
The body of Ralph McCollum, son of
a well known local man, was recov
