ESAT AE erage i LES TEESE a DEMOCRATS PROTEST IGAINST EXCLUSION Fight for Representation on Sznate Committe on Finance. ALDRICH DEFENDS PROCEDURE Business of the Session to Be Con- fined to Tariff and Census Bille. Washington.— What turned out to Pe a general debate on the tariff was & feature of the senate proceeding April 1, on Senator Bacon's resolu- tion favoring the consideration of tariff legislation by the full commit tee on finance instead of by the Re- publican members of that committee only. 3 Senator Aldrich insisted that the procedure adopted in this case was similar to that which had been the practice of the senate for 50 years fn dealing with tariff measures, and he added that the same method was adopted in handling the Wilson tariff | Bill, for which he said a substitute was framed by a sub-committee com- posed of Democrats. The Democrats made strenuous con- tention for representation at hearings by the committee, and argued that the Republican members sitting as such had no right to authorize the expenditure of the public funds in furtherance of an exparte considera- gion cof the bill in committee. The resolution was finally referred to the eommittee on finance. Adopt Hale Resolution. Senator Hale's resolution declaring in favor of a restriction of the busi- mess of the present extra session to the passage of a tariff bill and a bill | | annexation of Bosnia and Herzegov- for the taking of the census was adopted. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the eommittee, speaking on the Bacon res elution, contended that publican party would be held respon- gible for tariff legislation it was the province of the Republican members of the committee to shape the bill for the senate. - This policy in legislation, Mr. Ald- rich said, was pursued in every coun- try in which representative and party government exists. The minority of the senate, he said, could do just what the majority was doing. In addition to innumerable communica- tions, he received, he said, fully 100 perscns daily to discuss the tariff, If an effort was made by the mi- nority to cross-examine all these peo- ple on their statements, it would re- quire three. years to pass a tariff bill _ Mr. Aldrich said the experts are not subpenaed nor paid any witness fees, and he declared that their state- ments were not public hearings at all. Senator Daniel insisted on knowing what objection could be urged by the senator from Rhole Island against the Democratic members of the com- mittee hearing the statements. “Is it,” he asked Mr. Daniel, ‘a private snap for the purpose of framing a tariff bill without giving a right to representatives of the people to hear the testimony?” Mr. Aldrich said it was not the purpose of the committee, so far as WETS AND DRYS FIGHT Four Men Wounded in Two Clashes Over Sunday Liquor at Wellsville, O. ’ tive of the Good Citizens league be- hind one telegraph pole and a saloon battle was fought here Sunday even- ing in which two members of the boat crowd were wounded, one prob- ably fatally. Two other men were in- jured in an earlier encounter. The Wounded. William Zoellers of East Liverpool, well known to the police and convan- escing from injuries inflicted by a policeman, shot in the thigh; taken to the Fast Liverpool hospital. Ben Davidson of East Liverpool, whose name has been mentioned in a murder case and a recent suicide, shot in the neck and may die; taken to the East Liverpool hospital. William Renoff of Wellsville, mem- ber: of the Good Citizen’s league, seriously beaten; taken home. Frank Geisse of Wellsville, a for- mer saloonkeeper, ear almost cut off; in the lockup. Dr. Hamlin Barnes, a dentist of this city, charged with shooting Zoeller and Davidson, was released on $1,000 bail. Barnes is at the head of the Good Citizens’ league, and is a well known temperance advo- cate. . Both fights occurred on the Cleve- land & Pittsburg railroad tracks along the Ohio river bask, where a gang from Wellsville and East Liv- erpool was drinking at a houseboat. RUSSIA COERCED Threat to Send Troops Across Border Is Said to Have Been Made. London.—It is now definitely known despite semi-official denials from Ber- lin, that Germany delivered a distinct he knew, to hold public hearings. An impassioned address by Sena- | tor Rayner was directed against the | £ method of the majority in the fram- | ing of a tariff bill. Mr. Raynor declared that the Re- | publican procedure was merely a star | ehamber process. James . I. and | Charles 1, he said, had undertaken to stem the. progress of civil and re- Ligious liberty by the same methods that are now used to stem the pro- | gress of commercial freedom. f “I have a right,” said Mr. Aldrich, | replying to the charge that star | chamber procecdings were held by | Republicans on the committee on finance, “to have a conversation with- out having a Democratic senator to eross-examine the person with whom I conversed.” He declared that the Democratic members of the finance eomm-ttee were holding meetings of their own, and that they had their experts. Senator Bailey indignantly resent- ed the right of the senator from Rhede Island to speak for the Dem- | ocratic parity on the subject of th tariff, and added that when the" time | eame to vote that party would be found sustaining the princiuples of taxation that had so long been main- tained by it. He contended for the | right of Democratic members of the eommittee to be present at hearings, but admitted that if’ the Democrats were framing a tariff bill they would | not permit the Republicans to partic- ipate. “You might look at it, but you shouldn’t touch it,” he said. Speaking of the inheritance tax proposed in the house bill, he said he would rather tax the living rich! by means of an income tax than to | tax the dead “who are only moderate- ly welltodo,”” as proposed in the in- | heritance tax. For Ponular Election of Senators. Springfield, I11.—A resolution urging | eongress to call a legislative conven- | tion for the adoption of an amend- | ment providing for the election of | United States senators by popular vote of the people was adopted by the tower house of the legislature by a viva voce vote. “God Knows!” Replies Cannon.

Russian anger knows no bounds, but it is impotent anger for the time being. The range of Russia is matched by the alarm of England. There is good reason to believe that Asquith a few days after the budget is introduced, after the Easter holi- days, will announce the government's, intention to build eight dreadnoughts forthwith. NEEDS THE MONEY NOW Bill to Call Loans Made to States by the Government Long Ago. Representative Murdock of Kansas, introduced a bill to call upon the ‘26 States to repay to the government $28,000,000 which was distributed dur- ing Andrew Jackson's admisistration. In 1836 there was a surplus in the Federal treasury of $38,000,000, due largely to the sale of public land in the central west. Congress author- ized the distribution of this money among the States, upon their promis- ing to repay it upon demand of the | secretary of the areasury. After 2$8,000,000 had heen distrib: uted, but before the fourth install- ment had been paid, congress passed | another law postponing payment of the final installment, and incorporat- ing as a “joker” a proviso that the money distributed should be subject | to the demand of congress instead of the secretary of the treasury. GOVERNOR RESIGNS At Odds W#th President in Regard to Philippine Affairs. San Francisco.—James F.

Washington.—President Taft hopes to get away from Washington about the middle of June. He has declar- | ed that he will be agreeably surprised { if the tariff law is ready for the sta- tue books by June 1, but he is hope- i ful that the surprise will materialize.

Cleveland.—Rev. William McMahon. pastor of St. DBridget's Catholic church, Cleveland, and editor of the Catholic Universe, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptey. His total liabilities are stated to be $1,694- 141.64, with assets aggregating $75, 207.08, of which $71,300 is real estate. The secured claims amount to $946,- 925.73; unsecured claims $371,207.91, and commercial paper, $185,918. Father McMahon was a director of the Fidelity Funding Company of New York, founded by P. J. Kieran and which is now in the hands of receiv- ers. Thus it came about that his name wads signed to many papers is- sued by the company and for which he now is held liable by the receivers. The petition enumerates ‘many notes signed by Father McMahon. banks in New York, Cleveland and oth ities. Principal Creditors. Among the larger secured claims are the following: Carnegie Trust Company, New York, $281,255.73; So- ciety for Savings, Cleveland, $235,000; Third National Bank of Buffalo, $3,200. Included in the secured claims as filed by the petitioned are liabilities held by almost every bank- ing institution of prominence in Cleve- land and similar institution in Bos- ton, New York, Syracuse and Buffalo. Late in 1905 Father McMahon came first into close contact with Kieran. The latter was then the moving spirit in the Reliance Life ‘Insurance Com- pany and the Fidelity Insurance Com- pany, both of which were operated from Buffalo. The priest borrowed a small amount of money in 1905 from Kieran, who is said to have offered him a lower rate of interest than that charged by other companies. The friendship between the; priest and the fiancier grew to such:an' ex- tent that the former signed or en- dorsed the notes which now -are held against him, and at the time of the failure of the Fidelity Funding Com- pany was one of ,the board of direc- tors. When the”Kieran crash came last December Father ‘McMahon's dealings were supposed . to. extend only to the reorganization of the Eu- clid Avenue Trust Company of Cleve- land, in which he signed notes for about $35,000. His assets. were then said to exceed $20,000. Me, It was announced authoritatively from a priest closely identified with the affairs of the Cleveland diocese that the liability set forth .in the pe- tition is. personal, and that. .Catholic church property is not involved in a way that the church can lose. TWELVE MEN KILLED Many Others Are Wounded When the Jules Henry Is Destroyed at Marseille. Marseille, France.— The French tank bark Jules Henry, Capt. Escof- fler, in the oil trade between Phila- delphia and Cette, blew up April 1 and was totally wrecked. : Twelve members of her erew were killed and many others wounded. The bark arrived at Cette March 22 from Philadelphia. J ¥ A representative of the Veritas agency, accompanied by the second officer, was inspecting the vessel at the time she blew up. In the course of their work the two men entered the tank hold. Immediately after there was a tremendous explosion. Twenty men of the crew at work painting and repairing were blown into the air. Great sheets of fire shot up from the vessel, and in a. few seconds she was enveloped in flames. The second officer and the agency inspector were thrown high in the air by the force of the explosion. They are still alive, but. are not expected to live. . ' It is presumed that the oil fumes in the tanks exploded. CHINESE PROTEST Secretary of State Takes Matter Into Consideration. =. The machinery of the staté depart- ment at Washington has beén put in motion in an effort to straighten out the tangle resulting from the arrest of the two imperial representatives of China who rama foul of the Pitts- burg police for trying to sell mining stock without going through the for- mality of securing a license. Chinese Minister Wu Ting Fang has entered a formal protest with Secretary of State P. C. Knox and a dispatch from Washington announces that the secre- tary of state has taken up the matter in his official capaciy. What action Secretary Knox will take has not been disclosed, but it is said at his office that Gov. Edwin S. Stuart and Mayor George W. Guthrie probably will be asked to make form- al apology to the Chinese diplomat. It is not apprehended that anything serious will come of the matter, as far as the Washington authorities are concerned. FOR PREACHING HOLY WAR Moorish Priest Is Dragged Bareheaded Through Town. Fez, Morocco.—The priest, Kittani, who was captured and brought into Fez, was dragged through the streets of Fez bareheaded and in chains. Kittani’s offense is that he preach- |ed a “holy war’ in support of the pre- tender to the Moroccan throne, The ecclesiasts who interceded with Sul- tan Hafid in Kittani’s behalf were | promptly whipped. iof the senate. |been the oldes ROOSEVELT AT GIBRALTER Warm Greeting to Ex-President By English Soldiers. Gibralter, 'Spafn.—Former Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt landed at Gibralter shortly before 10 o'clock April 2, and for nearly two hours was th ecenter of an enthusiastic demon- stration in which England took ad- vantage of her first ‘opportunity to pay her respects to the distinguished traveler. At Mr. Roosevelt’s request the re- ception was robbed of an official character, which, however, aided, rather than retarded the heartiness cf the greeting. Gen. Sir Frederick Forestier-Walker, governor of Gibral- ter, and Richard IL. Sprague, the American consul, took Mr. Roose- velt, his son Kermit and other mem- bers of the party in tow the moment the Hamburg’s gangplank was lower- ed. Thousands were at the pier, and the cheering began even before Mr. Roosevelt's robust figure appeared on the@ deck. The crowd that awaited Mr. Roosevelt's coming was evident- ly a surprise to him, and he waved his slouch hat like a schoolboy . As the Hamburg’s stay at Gibraltar was limited to two hours, the recep- tion committee immediately too: the party in automobiles on a sightseeing tour, which included the governor's residence, the admiralty building, mna- val hospital and the barracks. The north part of the city, or Gibraltar proper, was decorated in Mr. Roose- velt’s honor. No formal speeches were made. Mr. Roosevelt was most deeply in- terested in the fort, which is counted the strongest in the world. He was cheered by he soldiers and became so enthusiastic that he seemed about to cheer in response. After a stay of two hours the Ham- burg cleared for its run to Naples.

ZEPPELIN IN PERIL Crippled Airship In Fierce Storm for 11 Long Hours. Munich. — The Zeppelin airship made an attempt to fly from Fried- richshafen to this city and back. En- countering a storm it was driven far out of its course and after 11 hours in. the air landed safely at Dingol- fing, 65 miles northeast of Munich. The journey was perilous. One mo- tor refused to work and it was im- possible for the airship to make head- way against the wind. The airship was followed over the country by sol diers in swift automobiles and by three squadrons of heavy cavalry. The airship out-distanced them and they were not in at the finish. Wireless for Great Lakes. Chicago.—Passenger steamers on the Great Lakes are to be equipped this season with wireless telegraph apparatus to be operated by the United Wireless Telegraph Company.

SYNDICATE HOLDING FOR RISE Senators Profess a Desire to Protect Breakfast Table from Greedy Interests. Washington. — Recognizing that Brazil is powerless to suspend her export tax on coffee because for the next several years, at least, this tax is indissolubly linked with her foreign debt, the senate committte on finance decided to strike out of the Payne bill the countervailing duty proposed. Members of the committee said that if the Payne provision is adopted in effect it would place a duty on coffee imported from Brazil equal to the ex- port tax assessed by that counfry and the consumer would be compelled to pay the difference: in cost. The re- sponsibility of such a result could not be shirked, it is said, and congress would have to answer to the people for this assessment against a neces- sity of life. Secretary of State Knox sent to the committee some confidential data sup- plied to him by the Brazilian embas- sy in which it was shown beyond con- tradiction that Brazil, from which country most of the coffee used in the United States is imported, could not repeal its export tax, as foreign loans were secured by that tax. Aid to Committee. Undoubtedly that information had a great deal to do. in aiding the finance committee to reach its deci- sion, as the data contradicted the theory of the house ways and means committee that if the countervailing duty is adopted it would force Brazil to remove the export tax so far as it applied to importations by the United States. : Incidentally the senate committee is seeking information about the .al- leged American syndicate credited with having 4,000,000 bags of coffee in storage to be held for a rise in price, which it is believed would in- evitably follow ‘the passage of ‘the Payne bill in its present form. A member of the committee said that no fortunes would be made by the members of such a syndicate at the expense of the American breakfast table if the committee on finance can prevent it. Pressure Brought to Bear. It is said that there are interests now in . Washington promoting the movement for a duty on coffee, or, failing in that, the retention of the countervailing duty, A member of the committee asserted that the com- mittee is in the way of procuring full information as to the personnel of the syndicate and he claimed that the movement is likely to fail. ‘Some of the statements made by committee members were fraught with signi- ficance. : : Protests are being received from to- bacco men in the Connecticut valley against the admission free of 150,000,- 000 cigars a year from the Philip- pines; as is provided by the Payne ill. IS GUILTY OF REBATING Railroad Company Pays Fine of $10,000 Following Supreme Court Decision. New York.—The New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company, through its attorneys, pleaded guilty to the charges of rebating in connec- tion with transportation of cooperage supplies and paid a fine of $10,000 in the United States circuit court. The plea of guilty followed the re- cent overruling by the United States supreme court of demurrers which the New York Central had filed to an indictment found by the Federal grand jury in 1907. There were 12 counts in the indictments. Pleas of guilty were entered to 10 of them and at the suggestion of Federal Dis- trict Attorney Stimson the minimum fine of $1,000 was imposed upon each count. STILL AFTER THE STANDARD Despite Setbacks, Government Will Continue Legal Warfare. Chicago.— Wade H. Ellis, assistant to the attorney general of the United States, who is here to confer with District Attorney Sims in regard to pending federal prosecutions, said that the government would go ahead with the prosecution of every indict- ment against the Standard Oil Com- pany. . “Judge Anderson’s decision in the case against the Standard Oil Com- pany of Indiana, will have no bear- ing on the other cases,” said he, “ex- cept as it may have established pre- cedents to cover other cases that may come up.” Mr. Ellis said that silence world be the watchword of the new adr:in- istration’s “trust busting’ efforts.

Chicago.—April was ushered in with a strike of 3,000 men of various trades and with threats that the trouble will spread to several thousand more. Re- fusal of employers to grant higher shorter working hours caused the strike. Most of the men out are members of the building trades. The strikes of steam fitters and grocery clerks are the most serious of the disturbances. The steam fitters and helpers recently demanded a wage increase from $4.75 to $5.70 a day. The employers refused to grant it and at a mass meeting last night 1.000 members of the union pledged themselves to strike. Simultaneously 1,000 electrical workers declared a strike on firms who have not signed the new scale ‘of ,$5.50 a day. crisis was precipitated in ‘the trouble between . the grocery clerks and wholesale grocers when 200 union, men struck after a union man had been discharged.
