'That agitation," he declared, "is the result of a pmpnganda from Great Rrl tain." That country coveted the Congo Free Ptnte, and what he objected to was "our (Secretary of State being In duced by Great pritatn to jump into thla complication and attack I-copold and thereby try to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for Knglaud." In his opinion, England was able to take care of herself without the Interference of the United States. On a point of order by Madden (Illinois) the appropriation of $4S00 for the payment of the quota of the United States for the support of the Interna tional Institute of Agriculture at Rome was stricken out. Consideration of the bill then was concluded, whereupon Cousins moved to suspend the rules nnd pass the meas ure. William, in objecting to unani mous consent, said: Forced by a sense of duty and the Inactivity of Republican legislation." etc. His dosing words were drowned by several resounding whacks of the speaker's gavel. The chair, after a long controversy with Williams, declared him out of order and directed him to take his scat, whirh he did. The bill appro priating 93.o20.2S3 then was passed under suspension of the rules, where upon Payne (New York) moved to ad journ, v Tho speaker, despite the protests of Williams. declnred the House ad journed until tomorrow at noon. The Speaker left the chair Immedi ately after letting his gavel fall and with a smile on his face walked toward Williams to say something to him. Williams, however, was so Incensed that he refused to converse with Can non. A number of the Democratic members were severe In their denun ciation of the Speaker's action. CULLS CANNON A TYRANT WII UASIS OPKXIY QUARRELS - WITH SPEAKER. Demand for Division Is Ignored as Dilatory and Now Leaders Are Xo Longer Friends. WASHINGTON", April IS A situation whlili has developed extreme tension, ltoth personal and political, has (frown out or the tat mtmite of tho session of the House toiiay. The Speakers action In declaring the House adjourned on tho motion of Mr. Payne of New York, the majority leader, without heeding the de mand of Williams, the minority leader, for division, was denounced tonijrht by Williams and by other members of the minority as "tyrannical." Williams, while he did not care to make a statement to nlKht concerninfT tha situation, declared that the Speaker's action w "the most hlRh-hnndcd proceeding that a Speaker of the House of Representatives had ever carried through." Williams recounted briefly the incidents leadinic up to the adjournment, stating that, when the motion of Payne was put to the House, he hRd asked for a division, a right guaranteed to him by tho rules of the House and by the con stitution. The Speaker, he said, declared the motion carried and left his desk and walked toward him. Williams said he understood the Speaker to say some thing to him. but he had responded, This is beyond a joke." Williams says he turned away and proctrid to his committee-room and the Speaker left the House and went to his room. Williams said Cannon and he always had been good friends, but that he felt the Speaker's action, in declaring the House adjourned, was "a arbitrary an action as any Speaker of the House of Representatives ever had taken." ltte tonight Cannon, In discussing the dispute, said: Fr mtre than two weeks uwipr the lan of Representative Williams, tho minority havo been engairM In a nllbuMor. Tho majority has the rtfrht and it is Its duty to legislate. It has been performing that duty and ao doubt will continue to do so. Tho nileo of tho House prohibit tllatory motions that would be in onirr were they not mado for dilatory pur posed. The CVaMitmion provides that on demand of one-nfth of the melibfis present, tho yea and say shall be spread on tho Journal. Repre sentative Williams did not demand the yeas and nnys. nor did any other member of tho House. As ho did sot choose to exercise his right under the Constitution, tho chair ignored his dilatory demand for a division and de clared the House adjourned. The bare etate tnent of the proceedings shows that Repre sentative Williams did not know how to avail himself of his constitutional rights or did not chooso to do so. Must Protect Own Children. HELHNA. Mont., April 18. Holding that it is the duty of parents to safeguard their children when in known places of danger, the Supreme Court today re versed the decision of the District Court of Silver Row County In the suit of Har ringron against the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific.

ATTACK TURNED AGAINST L1LLEY Anonymous Letters to Loud! Become Subject of Inquiry. LILLEY DENIES WRITING Oharjr Thnt T.IIlcyVa Statements Afrnlnst Electric Boat Company and Letters Were Written on the Snino Typewriter. WASHINGTON. April IS The author ship of the nnonymous letters that have been Introduced In tho invostlgntlon of tho Kloetrlo Hont Company was dili gently Inquired Into today by the House committee conducting the Investigation. David N. Onrvnlho and William J. Kins ley, of New York, nnd Albert 8. 6sborne. of Rochester, handwriting experts nnd experts lis to typewriting, testlllcd that the two letters and certain documents presented to tho committee by Repre sentative I.llley. and which. It hns been testilled. were written by Ahner K. Noff. of the Lake Torpedo Boat Company, on a typewriter In the Lake Company's of fice, were all written on the same type writer. Neither Mr. I.llley nor Mr. Noff was uuestioned hy the committee on this point, but both denied during the dav that thev had written the anonymous letters or that they knew anything about them. Lllley Rerutes Evidence. Mr. MlleV. at the beginning of the day"a session, presented a letter from the Commissioner of Patents. stating thnt no patent had been granted to Charles K. Nason during the past ten years. This document wns Introduced for the purpose of contradicting the testi mony or the Kloctrle Bont Company of ficials that they had paid Mr. Nason. who is a lteutennnt In the Navy, 1S00 for a patent he httd secured. Mr. Lllley asked that President Bowles, of tho Fore River Shipbuilding Company, and John P Holland be summoned as witnesses. Chairman Boutell stnted that of the many charges brought before the com mittee. the most serious was thnt of corrupt means having been used to se cure or defent the nomination and elec tion or members of tho present Congress. He said: Attempt to Blacken Ijotid. Such a charge reflects upon the in tegrity of the House and deserves the most 'exhaustive exatnluiition by this committee. The only case of this kind which the testimony has disclosed Is the cowardly attempt made, partly n,r..,,i, ,1,1 nnonvmous letter, to black en llir name nrid ruin the career of Representative Loun. 01 aiicmifuii. Mr. Boutell stated that the letters had been turned over to experta. and he then called Mr.. Carvalho, who aald he had examined the two letters In question, one received by the Washing ton correspondent of the Uetrolt Free Press, and the other hy Frank F.dln borough, a State Senator from Michi gan and now a candidate for Congress against Mr. Loud. Unquestionably, he said, the anonymous letters and cer tain of the papers were written by one and the same machine. These documents. It has been testl fled. were dictated by ex-Senator Thurston and written by Abner K. Ncff on a typewriter In the Washington of fice of the Lake Torpedo-Boat Company. The documents in question were ques tions and statements presented to the committee by Mr. Lllley and signed by him. It also has been testified by Benja min Webster, private secretary to Mr. Lllley, that he (Webster) had done some work on the typewriter In Mr. Neffs office. Knows Xothlng of Letters. "Nothing Is known as to the author ship of the anonymous letters that have been Introduced in the investiga tion of the Electric Boat Company." said Mr. Lilley to a representative of the Associated Press today. "The four documents which Mr. Carvalho says were written on tho same typewriter as were the anonymous letters, were submitted to me by an agent of the Lake Torpedo-Boat Company. T signed them and submitted them to the com mittee." THREATENS THE PAPER TRUST Speaker Cannon May Oeniand Con gressional Investigation. WASHINGTON. April 1$. In the event the Attorney-General does not show that something substantia! has been done to prosecute the paper trust as a combina tion in restraint of trade, providing the pending Inquiry as to whether it is op erating In violation of the law. Congress may go Into the trut-flghting business on Its own account. Speaker Cannon and Chairman Payne, of the ways and committee, contend that the tariff has nothing to do witto the high price of print paper; that if the scarcity of the raw product Is not re sponsible for it, then the fault lies with the paper trust, which by combining fac tories and regulating the output, holdb the price up to suit itself. The Speaker does not intend to rush Into trust-fighting, but he may offer a resolution providing for a searching in quiry by a Congressional committee into the operations of the International Paper Company. This ioulry. If held, will touch upon the sources of supply, the method of manufacture and manner of distribution of products of wood pulp.
