HOUSE OS SERIOUS
abled President's Special Mes
sage and Part of Another.

buking the-President For What Wai
Termed a Breach of Privilege Wa
Adopted by a Vote of 212 to 35, Al
though There Were Defender of the
Executive Largest Attendance of
the Session.
The house of representatives on Fri
day night last, by a vote of 212 to
35, rebuked the president by tabling
so much of his messages as reflected
on members of congress in connection
with his rosommendatlons regarding
the secret service detectives, and also
declaring It to be the sense of the
hotiRe that they shall decline to con
sider any communication from any
source which is not In its own Judg
ment respectful.
As had been forecasted, the report
of the special committee appointed to
deal with the language In the presi
dent's annual message and in his spe
cial message of Jlonday Jan. 4. bearing
on the secret service affecting mem
bers of congress, was submitted and
it was used as the basis for some of the
most earnest and vigorous speeches
ever heard in the historic chamber, i ne
b.oue was In no mood to treat the sub
1ect otherwise than seriously, although
In the remarks which were made the
references to the president almost In
variably were couched In parliamen
tary language. Nor was the president
without his supporters.
Toward the close of the debate, nr.
Gardner of Massachusetts vainly en
deavored to secure first the adoption
of a substitute for the resolntion In
the shape of an amendment expressing
confidence In the committee on ap
propriations and then the postpone
ment nf the whole matter until Mon
day, but he was overwhelmingly out-
oted.

chusetts will unite to repress it," Bald
Commissioner of Agriculture Pearson
'The discovery of its presence having

sary fumigation, In which measures

ATHLETES REINSTATED
Charges of Professionalism Against

died miles of deep waterways, the
lakes themselves providing practically
eighty miles of this.

L
Left Letter Confessing Murder
of Gideon Browning.
Appeared at Carthage, III., Friday
Evening and Took Room at a Board
ing House Monday Morning He
Cut Hi Throat In an Outhouse ana
one His Body Were Found Letters
to the Sheriff of Adair, Mich., and to
His Wife.
Carthage, 111., Jan. 12. Rev. John H.
Carmlchael, pastor of three Metho
dist churches In and near Adair, Mich.,
confessed slayer of Gideon Browning,
a neighbor whom he slew with a
hatchet and cremated last Tuesday
night In Battle Run church, committed
suicide In the toilet room of Miss Mir
anda Hughes' boarding house here by
cutting his throat with a pocketknlfe.
The preacher left a letter to the
sheriff of Adalr, Mich., giving details
of the murder, dismembering and In-
tlneratlou of Brownine. and attributed
the act to self-defense and moral cow
ardice because of the hypnotic Influ
ence that Browning, an Illiterate car
penter, held over him.
Reason For Tragedy Unsolved.
While the confession of the clergy
man Is rather long and on some points
minute, It leaves many questions re
garding the tragedy unsolved, admit
ting that the statements of the min
ister are true. Some parts of the let
ter tend to cause the Impression that
the confession Is really the produc
tion of an unsound mind.
The preacher does not explain satis
factorily how he and Browning came
to go to Rattle Run church, or why
both seemed bent on keeping their
presence there secret, except to say
that Browning wanted the minister
to officiate at Browning's wedding
that night. This account does not ex
plain the fact that the preacher evi
dently knew that Browning already
had one wife, if not two.
Nothing more than Rev. Mr. Car-
michael's letter to the Michigan sher
iff has thus far been discovered In
Carthago tending to explain the mys
terious tragedy. Carmlchael died
without regaining consciousness. He
had prepared to leave Carthage and
went to the toilet room in the yard
before starting for the railway station.
There Beveral hours later Miss Hughes
discovered him bleeding and frozen.
He had cut his throat, but the wound
was not fatal except that long bleed
in? find the low temnerature had
sapped his life.
Unknown In Carthage.
The su'clde left a letter addressed
to his wife In Adalr, Mich., but It has
not been opened. He was unknown to
invnnn In Carthage and Kave the
name here of John Elder.
On Friday, when the Burlington
train pulled Into Carthage a man
over six feet tall and with reddish
hrown hair and shaved face, alight
ed and sought a room at Miss Hughes
hoardlne house He said that he was
a cabinet maker and thought of open'
Ine a shon In Carthage. He talked
and ate liltle and he led Miss Hughes
to think that ho was a Catholic and
was fasting. He acted rather strange
ly but she thought little about. It at
the time.
Monday morning he packed all his
helonelnes in his valise, and leaving
his room In order went out to the
toilet room and nothing more was
Reen or heard of him until 9 o clock.
Then Miss Hughes went out to feed
her chickens. She heard a moaning
In the toilet room. looking In the
door, she saw the man on the floor
with his throat cut. There the doctors
found that he had cut a small silt in
his throat, but tho knife had not
touched the jugular vein. Had It not
heen that he had lain so long In
the cold and lost so much blood the
doctors could have restored him to
consciousness; but, as the thermome-
er stood almost at zero, he had be
come so thoroughly chilled that he
never aroused from his stupor and
died at 12:40 o clock.

CRIME AND GRAZE DUE
TO DEFECTIVE TEETH
Experiments to Prove Dentists
Can Prevent Insanity.
Cleveland, Jan. 12. Prominent
criminologists and alienists throughout
the country are Interested In the ex
perimental work of Dr. Henry Upson,
a distinguished neurologist of this
city, who believes that criminal In
stincts, as well as many nervous dis
orders and even insanity, are caused
In numerous Instances by defective
teeth.
Dr. Upson has already produced
marked beneficial effects upon patients
at the Newburg Insane asylum by
simple dental operations.
Arrangements have been made by
which Dr. Upson will during the com
ing week begin experiments upon pris
oners at the workhouse. The X-ray
mac'ilne Is used to determine whether
or not the teeth or their roots are
defective. This test also develops any
pressure of the roots on the various
nerves leading from the mouth to the
brain. Dr. Upson bases his belief upon
the theory that insanity and crime are
correlated.
The series of experiments will ex
tend over six months and the results
will be embodied by Dr. Upson In a
monograph addressed to the medical
profession.

TILLMAN'S DEFENSE
Read His Prepared Remarks With
Little Attempt at Oratory.
Washington, Jan. 12. Greeted by
applause from the galleries whan he
entered the senate chamber to reply
to President Roosevelt's strictures In
respect to his connection with Oregon
timber land transactions, senator nil-
niHn of South Carolina nroeerled to
read his prepared remarks with little
attempt at oratorical effort. He was
accorded careful attention by senators
on both sides of the chamber.
In addition to his speech, which had
been printed In advance, Mr. Tillman
hud prepared other brief remarks
which he read.
'it has been expected and deslrsd,"
he said, "that having made my own
defense I should turn my batteries on
my assailant. I do not feel that my
strength ic sufficient for the double
task, for my physicians have warned
me against overtaxing myself. One of
the truest and best sentiments In Eng
lish literature is thiB from Tennyson:
" Soiling another w ill never make
one's self "lean.'
Good Character a Bulwark.
"The president lives In a glass house
with even a glass floor In it and should
remember the old atlace. He has ex
erted all the power of the government
to destroy me. but I feel that I stand
unscathed because, if all other argu
ments fail to convince men, the char
acter for rectitude, truthfulness and
honsty whicn I have builded In the
sixty-one years of my life would at
la st bp my bulwark. Men who have
always bepn clean and honorable do not
suddenly become liars and hypocrites
at HI without any necessity.
"Later In this session it Is my pur
pose to devote some time to bringing
Theodore Roosevelt face to face with
his true self and let the people of the
United States see what character of
ninn thev have been bowing down to.
For the present I content myself with
applying to him this quotation rrom
Spenser's 'Faerie Queene:'
"'Ho ranges throughout the whole
world, neither Is there any that can
restrain him. Of late he has grown
especially presumptuous and pestilent.
bprking at and bltine all alike wnetner
they be blameworthy or innocent.
None are free from his attacks. He
spares neither the learned wit nor the
gentle poet, but rends and tears with
out regard of person, reason or time.' "
Vice President Suppressed Applause.
When Mr. Tillman concluded his re
marks there was no further outbreak
of applause, the vice president having
admonished the occupants of the gal
lprles against making such demonstra
tions, Mr. Tlilman was congratulated
by a number of Democratic senators.
Not long after he had concluded his
speech Senator Tillman received a ca
bleurani from a London newspaper
asking him to express In fifty words
his opinion of President Roosevelt and
saying that If he would do so the tolls
would be paid at the other end. The
senator (Inclined to comply with the
request.
