DEBATE IN SENATE

Philippines Discussion Arouses

ny ballistic Wire from The- Avnclntul Pics.
Washington, May 7. Discussion of
the Philippine bill In the somite took u
sensational turn again today. Mr. Me
C.'omns, of Maryland, teferrlng to the
alleged cruelties of Ameili-.m soldiers
in the Philippines cruelties which he
deeply deplored told of sonic of the
cruelties which had occurred on both
sides dm Ins the civil war. Neither side,
he held, was to be held responsible for
regrettable occurrences, as neither side
approved of them. In this connection
he said the senators from South Cuto
llna and Massachusetts, where there
was less popular liberty than in any
other states; were loudest In their de
mands for liberty In the Philippines.
Mr. Tillman, in reply, said that if it
had been known in the south that the
reins of government were to have been
given to the negroes, the civil war
would have continued longer. He in
sisted that the white people of the south
had been obliged to subdue the negro
by whatever means they could, using
the shotgun as one of the means. He
frankly described how the negroes hod
been defeated at the polls, admitting
that the whites had gotten just such
majorities as wlere necessary.
"When we get ready to put a nigger's
face in the sand," he shouted, "we put
his body there, loo." He declared that
the people of the south never would
submit to negro domination, and he
hoped Republican senators would turn
from their "game of deviltry in the
Philippines" and assist the south to
Nrld Itself of the threat of negro domi
nation. Democrats Retire.
While Mr. Tillman was speaking,
many of the Democtatlc senators left
the chamber, his audience on the door
" being largely on the Republican side.
Mr. liurton, of Kansas, vigorously
arraigned Mr. Tillman for his utter
ances. He asserted that the senator
who could defend hiavery and govern
ment by the shotgun could not be ex
pected to think well of senators who
were trying to carry good government
to the Filipinos. Ho was astonished
that a senator In one breath should
make an appeal for unsullied govern
ment in the Philippines and In the next
should boast of crimes almost unpar
alleled In history. Mr. Burton followed
with a warm defense of the govern
ment's policy In the Philippines, and
became involved In a heated colloquy
with Mr. Hawllns, of Utah, because he
had denounced some of Mr. Hawllns'
statements ns ffjlse, He paid a bril
liant tribute to Oeneral Funston as one
of the great heroes of the army.
House Considers New State Bill.
The house today began consideration
of the bill to enable the people of Okla
homa. Arizona and New Mexico to form
constitutions .and state governments,
and be admitted into the Union on an
equal footing with the original states.
Representative Knox, of Massachusetts,
chairman of the committee on terri
tories, and Mr. Rodey, the delegate
from New Mexico, made extended
hpeeches in support of the bill. Mr.
McRae, of Arkansas, while favoring the
admission of the three territoiies, gave
notice of an amendment to consolidate
Oklahoma and Indian Territory and
ndmlt them ns a single state. The
house adopted the confeience report on
the Indian appropihitlon bill. A vlg
oious, but unsuccessful, light wus made
on the senate amendment to open up

NAPTHA LAUNCH
Several Members of a Sunday School
Class Are Drowned in the Mau-
meo River.
By Hxclusiie Wire from The Associated Press.
Toledo, May 7. Several young people,
members of a Sunday school class of
the First Baptist church, were drowned
In the Maumec river, just below the
city, tonight at 10 o'clock, as the result
of the naptha launch Frolic, on which
they were taking a pleasure ride, being
run down by the tug Arthur Woods, of
the Great Lakes Towing company's
fleet.
The launch Is owned by Joseph W.
Hepburn, of this city, who invited
eleven young people to take an even
ing ride with him. They started out on
a trip to Lake Erie early In the even
ing, and were returning when the acci
dent happened.
Mr. Hepburn, Miss Clara Marks,
Arthur Marks and Mlsfs Grace Low are
the only survivors.
Mr. Hepburn states that hcSaw the
light? of the approaching tug, and
thinking it was bound straight down
the river, turned to the east In order
to make the dock at Ironvllle, and be
for tho launch could get out of the
way It was struck by the tug and
turned over and sunk about 100 feet
from the dock. Mr. Hepburn caught
hold of the side of the tug and the Low
girl grasped his leg, and both were
pulled on the tug. TheOIarks girl was
pleked up from a cushion, on which
she floated. Arthur Murks also was
fortunate enough to grab a piece of
wreckage and was picked up by those
on the tug. The other seven members
of the party were drowned. The river
is now being dragged for their bodies,
but they will probably not be recovered
before daylight.
The tug brought the rescued to this
city. Mr. Hepburn was not able to
give the names of the drowned, and
their companions who were saved were
not able to talk before being taken
home. Captain Al Fltts was In charge
of the tug, and says that the launch
showed no lights and that he was not
aware of Its presence until the tug
struck.
