•'Of the President's message, if I am
entirely honest and f flank, I am com-
pelled to any that much of it reads like
the ravings of a. disordered *rind» and
other portions in which appeal is made
to class prejudice and excitement is largo
with the suggestion of the adroit and
cunning, the shrewd but reckless dema-
gogue.

country is so corrupt as t;> demand Sig-

TRMPLE, Tex., Jan. 31.-A shocking
accident occurred this morning at tho
new bank building being constructed lor
occupancy by the First National Bank,
as a result ot* which Joe Daniels, a
young white man, an iron worker of this
city, lost his life.
With a force of workmen, tho man was
engaged in setting the ponderous steel
vaults in their brick casings and during
tho progress of tho work had oeoasion to
enter the narrow passugewny between
the brick wall and the steel. Suddenly
the door of the vault swung open and
overbalanced the structure, which fell
against the brick wall and caught Daniel
between tho wall and a five-ton mass of
steel, crushing him \A such an extort
that death resulted in about thirty min-
utes.
The body was removed with the great-
est difficulty and only the courage and
determination displayed by five negro
workmen assisting in the task kept the
entire value from settling on the body
of the unfortunate man. The d<cedent
was well known here, where he had re-
sided with his wife and child for somo
years. He had only been assisting in
the iron work at the bank building for
two days, having previously been em-
ployed by the Santa Fe Railway Com-
pany. He was a member of the Wood-
men.

Special Message Is Transmitted

Recent Strictures.
RIGHTS OF LABOR
ARE HERE DEFENDED
Additional Legislation Is Asked as to
the Relations Between Labor and
Capital and Between the Public
and Great Corporations.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—President
Roosevelt today transmitted to Congress
a long special message in which he urged
laws governing the relations between
labor and capital and between the pub-
lic and great corporations. The message
discusses live topics in a free fashion. It
is characteristically Roosevcltian and in-
dicates that there is no intention op the
part of the President to take a back-
ward step in bis campaign against pre-
datory wealth.
Upon the conclusion of the. reading of
the message Senator I'axis of Arkansas
was promptly t-pon his feet and moved
that JO,000 copies of tho meswge no print-
ed as a public document.
"It is the best Democratic doctrine that
I have ever haaid emanating iroin a Re-
publican source." said Mr. Davis.
The motion was agreed to and without
further comment was referred to the
Commute* on Interstate Commerce.
The message is in the main as follows:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives : The recent decision of the
Supreme Court in regard to the employ-
er's liability act, the experience of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and of
the Department of Justice in enforcing
the interstate commerce and truwt laws,
and the gravely significant attitude to-
ward the law and Its administration re-
cently adopted by certain heads of great
corporations, render it desirable that
there should he additional legislation as
regards certain of the relations between
bibor and capital, a :d t«-«ve«"i tl • gt ai
corporations and the public.
The Supreme Court has decided the em-
ployers' liability law to bo unconstitution-
al because its terms apply to employes
engaged wholly in intrastate commerce
as well as to employes engaged in inter-
state commerce, By a substantial ma-
jority the court holds that tho Congress
has power to deal with the question in-
sofar as interstate commerce is con-
cerned.
As regards the employers' liability law,
1 advocate its immediate reenaotment,
limiting iis scope so that it shall apply
only to the class of eases as to which
the court says it can Constitutionally ap-
ply. but strengthening its provisions
within this scope. Interstate employ-
ment being thus covered by an adequate
Natoinal law, the field of intrastate em-
ployment will be left to the action of
tho several States. With this clear defi-
nition ol responsibility the States will un-
doubtedly give to the performance of their
duty within their field the consideration
the importance of the subject demands.
I also urgently advise that a compre-
hensive act be passed providing for the
compensation by the Government to all
employes injured in the Government serv-
ice. Under the present law an injured
workman In the employment of the Gov-
ernment has no remedy, and the entire
burden of the accident falls on the help-
less man, his wife and his young children.
This is an outrage. It is a matter of hu-
miliation to the Nation that there should
not bo on our statute books provision to
meet and partially atone for cruel mis-
fortune when it comes upon a man
through no fault of his own while faith-
fully serving the public. Tn no other
prominent industrial country in the world
could such gross injustice occur; for al-
most all civilized nations have enacted
legislation embodying the complete rec-
ognition of the principle which places the
entire trade risk for Industrial accidents
(excluding, of course, accidents due to
wilful misconduct by the employe) on
the industry as represented by the em-
ployer, which in this case is the Govern-
ment. In all these countries the principle
applies to the Government just as much
as to the private employer. Under no cir-
cumstances should the Injured employe
or his surviving dependents bo required
to bring suit against the Government,
nor should there he the requirement that
In order to insure recovery negligence
in some form on the part of the Govorn-
metil should be shown. Our proposition
i«? not jo confer a right of action upon
the Government emnloyo. hut to secure
him suitable provision against injuries
received In the course of his employment.
The burden of tho trade risk should he
placed up<>n tho Government. Exactly as
tho workingman Is entitled to his wages,
so ho should be entitled to indemnity for
the injuries sustained in the natural
course rif his labor. The rates nf com-
pensation and the regulations for its pay-
ment should tie / "r"l in the law, and
the machinery r».. .'Wmlning the
amount to he paid in each case
bo provided in such manner that tho em-
ploye is properly represented without ex-
pense to him. Tn other words the com-
pensation should bo paid automatically,
while the application of the law in the
first instance should bo vested in the
Department of Commerce and Labor. The
law should apply to all laborers, mechan-
ics ami other civilian employes of the
Government of the f'nited States, Includ-
ing those in the service of the Panama
Canal Commission and of the insular
governments.
The same broad prlnci* t. which should
apply to tho Government should ultimate,
ly be made applicable to all private em-
ployers. Where the Nation has the power
it shoul.; mact laws to this effect.
Where the States alone have the power
they should enact the laws. It Is to he
observed that an employers' liability law
does not reallv mean mulcting: employers
in damages. It merely throws upon the
omplover tho burden of accident Insur-
ance against injuries which are sure to
occur. It requires .him either to bear or
to distribute through insurance the loss
which can readilv he home when dis-
tributed. but which. If undistributed,
bears with frightful hardship upon the

Miles Long.
SIX PERSONS KILLED,
THREE FATALLY INJURED
Many Others Slightly Kurt When Their
Homes Are Picked tip and Blown Away.
Dead Farm Animals and Personal
Property Strewn Everywhere.
WESSON, Miss.. Jan. 31.- Six persons
wore killed outright by a cyclone which
laid waste a strip of farming country
three-quarters of a mile wide and several
miles long Just north of here today.
Three persons were probably fatally
injured by the cyclone and many others
were slightly hurt when their homes
were blown down. A negro, who arrived
hero about dark, brought news of the
storm and an appeal for aid. Three
physicians started in carriages for the
stricken district.
According to the negro's message the
dead are:
MRS BEN MARTIN AND HER FOUR
SMALL CHILDREN.
DAVE MARTIN.
The fatally injured are Hen Martin,
Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Maddox.
The seriously injured is Hill Allen.
The dead and injured are all white.
The cyclone struck about 4 o'clock this
afternoon. It came from the southwest
and disappeared into the northeast. At
least a doaen homes of white families
were blown down. The residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Maddox was blown almost,
completely off the premises and Mrs.
Mifddnx's spinal column was broken.
The path of the cyclone was unusually
wide arid was left littered with hundreds
of dollars' worth of id farm animals
and strewn with mam thousand dollars'
worth of personal prop ty
REPORT 12 PERSONS KILLED.
Dwellings, Farm Houses, Sawmills
and Cotton Gins Destroyed in Large
Numbers—Live Stock Suffers.
JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 31.—A cyclone of
terrific force passed a few miles below
liazelhurst, the county seat of Copiah
County, and thirty-three miles south of
this place, this afternoon at 3;M o'clock.
An immense amount of property damage
was done and at least twelve persons lost
their lives. Dwellings, farmhouses, saw -
mills and cotton gins were destroyed in
large numbers, and live stock suffered to
a great degree On several places nearly
every head of stock was killed and in
some not one was left.
Destrcys Cotton Gin.
The storm came from the southwest,
striking the Milisaps' place, some twelve
miles from Hazelnurst, where a large
cotton gin was destroyed and a large
number of stock killed.
Traveling in a northeasterly direction,
the cyclone, blowing from a great re-
volving cloud, illuminated by a constant
play of lightning, crossed the tracks of
the Illinois Central Railroad about three
miles south of liazelhurst, and limbs of
trees several feet long, portions of de-
stroyed buildings and other evidences of
the storm's power were scattered from
one end of the little city to the other
during the passage of the storm, whose
howling winds could be distinctly heard.
Near where the railroad was crossed
lived Hen Martin, a farmer, and he, his
wife, brother and two children were in-
stantly killed, as were also several
negroes, whose names it has hern im-
possible to obtain. Hazlehurst is the
nearest town to the path of the cyclone,
and messengers were rushed along its
path to the town for doctors, and every-
one in the town has gone to the scene
ol' tho disaster.
Crossing the railroad, the storm con-
tinued its work of destruction. Tho storm
here entered a thickly settled arid pros-
perous section and the property damage
it did is almost .incalculable.
Family Caught Beneath Debris.
Striking the plantation ot Bob Middle-
ton, it completely wrecked his home,
catching his family beneath the debris,
fatally injuring him and breaking tho
back of one of the lady members of his
family. Several of his negro tenants
were Injured and one or two others in
that locality killed.
That neighborhood has also called for
medical aid, but the extent of its damage
cannot be ascertained, telephone com-
munication being absolutely cut off. Tele-
graph wires are also down between here
and Hazlehurst, as they are on the south
of that place.
Just below Hazlehurst stood a. negro
house in the path of the storm and it
was completely carried away with the
four negro children who were in it at
the time and no trace of either the house
or its occupants has been found.
This is the fourth cyclone that has
passed through thus section in the past
twenty-five >errs, the last one claiming
about 100 victims. -
For a distance ot twenty mites the
wind tore a pathway nearly a mile wide,
partly or wholly destroying every build-
ing in this area. Scores of dead farm
animals littered the storm's track.
At Georgetown buildings were blown
down and at Hazlehurst two saw mills
were destroyed. Many fences and sev-
eral small buildings were also blown
over. Center Point reported much dam-
age, but no loss or lire. \
Martinsville, which was Just on too
edge of the storm, escaped without
serious damase
Darkness settled down so qulealy after
the tornado that only an incomplete esti-
mate ot the destruction both to lite and
property was obtained. Men in carriages
are tonight driving thrdugh the district
ouering aid to the storm sufferers.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31 -Gov. Charles E.
Hughes, whose nomination for the Presi-
dency bv the Republican National Con-
vention in Chicago next Juno is being
urged h\ th» New York County Commit-
tee and other county committees in New
York State, tomght made open declara-
tion of hit vi«ws on National issues and
principles.
I ntil tonight, when ho was welcomed
by scon s of well-known Republicans at
a reception tendered him at the Republi-
can Club, Governor Hughes has main-
tained silence on all questions affecting
the country and the definition of his
position oil Federal issues has conse-
quently been expectantly awaited.
Has No Spirit of Rivalry.
Governor Hughes told his hearers to-
night that he did not come before them
in any spirit of rivalry or self-seeking,
anu that there are ' many Republicans
who by virtue of their character and dis-
tinguished lives are worthy of tho high-
est honor the party can bestow."
He asserted his unqualified opposition
to the Government ownership of rail-
roads, but said that regulation of inter-
state transportatieu is essential to pro-
tect the people from unjust discrimina-
tions. As a means of railroad supervi-
sion the Governor suggested an adminis-
t I'M tivc bourd.
Revision of the tariff was advised,
Governor Hughes suggesting that the
readjustment of schedules be effected by
an expert commission, that the facts
should he ascertained without delay and
that Congress might dispose of the mat-
ter in the faIreal possible manner.
In part Governor Hughes' speech fol-
lows:
Governor Hughes' Position.
"Since I look office I have sought to
make it clear that I would not become
involved in factional strife or use the
powers of office to further any personal
interest. For this reason I have avoided
gratuitous discussion of questions for-
eign to my official duty, but when, in
justice to those who have honored me
with their confidence, and to the party
which, as we all desire, should act freely
and with full informal ion. it becomes a
duty to spc.ik. I have no desire to remain
silent, nor should 1 in any event care lo
preserve availability at the expense of
candor.
