' llrart la Hrarl Coaftk There was a heart to heart confer ence this morning between Senator Pritchard and ex-Senator Marion But ler, at which the ex-popullst senator toll his former colleague that he was with him in his lily white movement.

The ground of com-T'-i" : i that he Is connected with a to a tlslt that ex-Senator Butler made to the White House shortly after this Interview. The ex-senator reached the executive office shortly nfter 1 o'clock- He was preceded by Senator Thurston and had to' wait before he could see Mr. Roosevelt. It Is generally believed that Mr. Butler called on the president for the avowed purpose of putting In a good, .word in Senator Prltchard's behalf, or to speak more definitely, that he pointed .out. that Senator Pritchard' course Is- the only me to be pursued in the.spfcth if the Republican psrtyever expects to .ac complish anything In the way of re sults. The Star says this afternoon: "The chances are thought to favor Vlck's renomt nation." The staunch adminis tration paper adds: v "President Roosevelt was put face to face with the lily white problem to day, and the Issue as to whether the lily white movement In North Carolina will receive a setback from the executive's hands Is clearly before the president. To thoroughly meet the requirements of the president that, when a colored man possesses the same abilities to fill an ofTlce os a white man he will have th same chance at the White House, Vlck has brought on and filed with the presi dent the practically unanimous en dorsement of the white peopleof Wil son, concerning his business ability and satisfactory conduct of his offlce. In addition, his character as a man Is highly spoken of by these white people, who. however, refuse to endorse Vlck for the offlce." The Times prints the following this afternoon In connection with the Vlck case, but It is news that Is unconfirmed: "The senator has summoned a num ber of lily white leaders to come on, to Washington, it is understood, to pre sent their side to the president." IlalrT Tains lrrna Richmond Pearson, the former Bun combe stateman. who Is doing duty for Uncle Sam as cunsul at Genoa, Italy, is not greatly pleased with his Job and he Is sighing for greater worlds to conquor. Yesterday Senator Pritchard and Charles McXamee of BirtmOre broke this news to the president. The president did not Intimate as to whe ther or not the thought had ever oc- carred to him, but the substance of his response was that he had nothing better available at the present time. The senator and Mr. McNamee express ed the hope that the president could see fit to give Mr. Pearson, a position commensurate with his ability, and his services to his party. The president said, he hoped he could be able to do so. The friends of the Appalachian park bill are bestirring themselves for the purpose of getting the measure under consideration in the house next week. It Is generally known that this bill has passed the senate and It is necessary to get early consideration by the house if It becomes a law at this se3sion. Ear ly action Is considered imperative by the friends of the measure. Next week a conference will be held by the sup porters of the park scheme, who will attempt to force consideration of the bill before the week expires. Congress man Moody, one of the most earnest champions of the measure, lias been delegated to see Speaker Henderson and confer with him about taking the matter up In the house. This he will do Monday. Congressman Brownlow of Tennessee saw the president this week In behalf of the park, and he promised to do all he could In Its bo half. The president Is a great friend of the measure. Generals Corbln and Young both favor ed the bill. The committee agreed to a favorable report on the measure. Mr. Scott of Kansas today introduced a bill requiring corporations doing inter-state business to take out govern ment licenses, the fees to be' based on the capital stock: and outstanding bonds.

A general scrimmage ensued, which extended to the galleries. Prime Minister Combes went, to the tribune and tried to read an order suspending thesesslon, but It was Impossible to hear his voice above the uproar. The president of the chamber thereupon put on his hat and suspended the sit ting. The military was called in to Syveton, who Is a Nationalist, Washington, Dec 6. Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, who has been ill at the Arlington hotel for the past four days, died tonight at a few minutes after 12 o'clock. Though he was con scious until within about two hours of his death, his mind not clear, and he passed away without recognizing his wife and daughter who were at his bedside. They were prepared for the sad event' by the statements of the physicians early In the evening that thre was little hope for the recovery of Mr. Reed. The change for the worst was first noticeable this morning, and In spite of heroic treatmit of saline injections and administering of oxygen gas the patient failed to improve, and it became apparent about 5 o'clock this evening that he could not recover. Uremic coma, resulting from uremic poisoning, was the immediate cause of attack of kidney trouble from which Mr. Reed has suffered in the past. Aware of the existence of bright's dis ease in a mild form, Mr. Heed had been under a form of treatment and diet for some time, and when he came to Washington this time he explained his loss of flesh by saying that he had been taking particularly good cars of himself and had lost forty pounds by a strict regimen. With the appearance of uremic acid in the blood Mr. Reed began to show signs of ureanlc coma, . and early as Friday he became un conscious, but perceptibly improved during the day, and his mind became clear, his temperature decreased and his general condition indicated an Im provement. The physicians recognized last night, however, that Mr. Reed's condition was critical, and they pre pared to administer oxygen gas and saline infusions should he become worse. j This change came this morning, the uremic symptoms becoming very marked about nine o'clock, at which time he was given more saline injec tion for the purpose of stimulating th kidneys to action. A second Injection was given within an hour, and during the day oxygen gas was constantly administered.

Fatal Fire Accident Indianapolis, Dec. e. Editor Jennings took the witness stand today in his suit for J100.GCO damages against prom inent citizens of Salem, in which he chances whltecapplng and libel, and his story of his persecutions, though told without any dramatic pose or other means to make It Impressive, was one of the most sensational ever heard in a court room. He began by saying that he was ed ucated at a university, traveled in Eu rope and took a post-graduate course in a German institution, returning, to this country, and after teaching school a while, he purchased the Democrat, a weekly paper at Salem. He soon found that the county was governed by a ring, and that all these wealthy and Influential people, were related to each other by marriage and ran the county pretty much as they pleased, the of fices being handfld about from one to the other and all the business being done by the members of the ring. He believed this state of affairs was det rimental to the best Interests of the people as a whole, and he started in Philadelphia, Dec. 6.

Extracts from the opposition paper, in which slanders were printed, and which were Inspired by the defendants and actually written by some of them, were offered in evidence, and a num ber of cartoons In which he was held up to ridicule and in others made to appear as a brute. Among the latter was one which represented him as standing over his wife, who was kneel ing at his feet imploring mercy, with a whip upraised in one hand and the other grasping her by the hair. Un der the cartoon was this sentence: "When the roll was called at Madison the wife beater was not there," thus making the impression that Jennings had whipped his wife.
