Tillman's Speech 7 o-day \ The Senator From South Carolina Delivers a Second Speech on the Brownsville Affair. Discusses Lynching. Washington, D. C., January 21. — Senator Ben Tillman addressed the Senate today on Brownsville affair. As a prelude he paid his compliments to the Senators who had spoken on the Brownsville incident, likening Sen ator Culberson as a solo on the "bones" in praise of Roosevelt, Sena tor Daniels as "the brilliant and court ly Senator" whose specialty is oratory and who works his rhetoric overtime. "As a middle man we have the pom padour artist from Georgia, whose specialty is to never answer any ques tion and who depends upon his voice to carry conviction to his audience." Continuing he said: "Have I ever advocated lynch law at any time or at any place? I ans wer on my honor, 'never'. I have justified it for one crime and one only and I have consistently and persis tently maintained that attitude for the last fourteen years. "As the governor of South Carolina I proclaimed that although I had taken the oath of office to support the law and enforce it, I would lead a mob to lynch any man, black or white, who had ravished any woman, black or white. "Mr. President, the Senator from Wisconsin speaks of 'lynching bees'. As far as lynching for rape is con cerned the word is a misnomer. When stern and sad faced white men put to death a creature in human form who has deflowered a white woman there is nothing of a 'bee' about it. There is more of a feeling of participating as a mourner at a funeral. They have avenged the greatest wrong, the black est crime in all the category of crime. I do not know what the Senator from Wisconsin would do under these cir cumstances; neither do I care. I have three daughters, but so help me God I had rather find either one of them killed by a tiger 01* bear and gather up her bones and bury them, conscious that she had died in the purity of her maidenhood, than have her crawl to me and tell me a horrid story that she had lost the jewel of her womanhood, or rather had been robbed of it by a black fiend. The wild beast would only obey the instincts of nature and we would hunt him down and kill him just as soon as possible. "What shall we do with the man who has out bruted the brute and com mitted an act which is more cruel than death? Try him, drag the victim into court, for she alone can furnish the legal evidence and make her testify to the fearful ordeal through which she has passed the undergoing of a sec ond crucifixion? Our rule is to make the woman the witness, the prosecu tor, the judge and the jury." TYNER'S DYSPEPSIA REMEDY. Many Have Dyspepsia and Don't Know It. Do not beicn up wind?

New York, Jan. 18. —Ivlme. Lillian Nordica displayed a remarlably poor memory today, when, unwi'ling and in dignant, she was examined in the Su preme Court in the suit of the Stro bridge Lithographing Company to re cover $4,300 from Robert E. Johnston and John H. Duss, the bandmaster. The claim is for printing done in con nection with the production of "Ven ice" at Madison Square Garden in 1906. The singer was attired in a mink coat, black silk dress and white waist. A black picture hat with gray os trich plumes completed her attire. Isaac N. Jacobson, counsel for the plaintiffs, examined the singer, but to almost every question she replied, "I don't know" or "I don't remember" in a monotonous tone, tinged with ennui. The prima donna did not know whether she had any contract with the bandmaster. Business mat ters bored her, and she left them to — some one—she refused to say who. As to her tour with Mr. Duss she was very hazy. Even the year had slipped her memory. The last question only roused,her from her lethargy. "Do fou know of any business rela tions at all between Johnston and Duss?" "Absolutely not," she snapped. And her examination ended.
