Arouces Ire of Florida Con gressman Jsy Quetlng Interview to Prove He Did Appeal to Be Given in Cases. WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. The House of Representatives today -devoted its entire session to the discussion of impeach ment charges against Judge Charles Swayne of the Northern" district of Flor ida. A dramatic Incident occurred when Littlefleld of Maine, called on Lamar of Florida, who filed, tbe charges against the Judge, to admit or repudiate an al leged interview which, the former said. tended to incite the people to commit anj act of violence against Judge Swayns Lamar admitted giving an lntcrvlejvtbut emphatically denied any suggestion 'from him that could be construed into advising assassination or murder. . Palmer (Rep. Pa.) chairman of the committee of seven appointed by the Speaker to prepare the case against Judge Swayne. explained the charge. Ho defined what constituted impeachable offenses and said a Judge could be Im peached for any misbehavior. Palmer evoked loud applause when he declared his intention to introduce a bill to glvo every man punished Tor contempt the right to appeal to some higher court. Court Reeked With Scandal. Judge Swaync's Court, he said, was reeking with bankruptcies, scandals and suicides, and he did not believe the Judge had a friend in the district. V He violently declared that the statements that other judges than Swayne had charged ten dollars a day for expenses was a. slander on the Judiciary of the United States. "There Is not." he said, "a syllable of testimony In this Tccord or anywhere on earth that any judge ever did this thing but Judge Swayne." Littlefleld of Maine said he felt ft his duty to give to the House what the re cord showed and what It did not show. He then analyzed the evidence In the case in all its phases and said that none of the majority of the committee except tbe sub-committee had read the report when they voted for impeachment. Turning his attention to Lamar of Flor ida, who filed the original charges, Little fleld called upon him to admit or deny an alleged Interview published In the Metropolia of Jacksonville. Fla.. reprint ed from the Atlanta Constitution of March 29. 1504. which Littlefleld said, did violence to Lamar's reputation. Little fleld quoted from the Interview, in which Lamar is alleged to have said that the people of Flordla had stood Judge Swayne Just about as long as they could and that he was going to tell Congress that. If some action were not taken to re lieve the people of Florida of him. Judge Swayne's life would be endangered. Denies Suggesting Murder. Lamar said that any language Imputing to him the statement that Judge Swayne's life was In danger was abso lutely Incorrect, but he said that, if the proceedings in tho House terminated In nothing, it would be because the public did not understand things In Florida; that he looked upon Judge Swayne "as utterly corrupt and utterly tyrannical, and the most lawless man in the State of Florida," t Lamar declared that he stated" in the interview, "that, if nothing appealed to Judge Swayne. neither law nor humanity. In his own lawless career, then I would npint out to him the fact that his arbi trary and tyrannical action might re sult in some ill-ordered brain or some revengeful brain that suffered at his hands Inflicting violence upon him." The most intense interest was shown in this phase of the debate, and members leaned forward to catch every word. Littlefleld said It grieved him profound ly that a member of the House had preached "incitement to assassination and murder." "I deny any suggestion of, violence to Judge Swayne." exclaimed Lamar, who further said that "the fact that he has remained in my state so long, secure in his lawless career. Is evidence of that." Lamar declared that, while he did not think Littlefleld charged him with. Incit ing to murder, Littlefleld criticized and almost blindly misapprehended what real ly was said. If. said Lamar, any one used his language in the Interview to Im pute that he suggested violence to Judge Swayne ho would denounce it as a malic ious falsehood. "The gentleman's denunciation dis turbs nobody." replied Littlefleld. who added, that, unfortunately for Lamar, tbe ordinary citizen of the United States would so constitute it. "and It Is for that reason tbo language does great -violence to the character of the distinguished gen tleman from Florida." The Shacklefor.i resolution authorizing the Committee on Interstate Commerce to Investigate the Panama Railway Com pany was passed, after which the House, at 5:35 P. M.. adjourned.

SAYS PROMISE IS &R0KEN BAILEY ALLEGES BAD FAITH BY SHIP SUBSIDY MEN. Commfsslan's Report Calls Forth De bate in Senate Republicans Net All in Favor of Report. WASHINGTON. Jan. 12-The legis lative, executive and judicial bill was to day read at length In the Senate, and there, was considerable discussion of the Civil Service question and the provision for an Investigation of foreign trade con ditions by the Department of Commerce. The bill for the merchant marine was re ported to the Senate, and Bailey made the point that the Commission had been pledged to report In favor of discrimi nating duties and not In favor ot snip subsidies. The suggestion was combated by Senators Galllnger and Lodge, who were members of the Commission. Galllnger, from the committee on com merce, reported back the Merchant Ma- rlnn fnmmtMlnn'B shin auhaldv bill, and said that the committee would rile the re- reDort ot tha Commission as its' own. Berry stated that a minority of the com mittee ODDOscd a favorable report. In. making his" report to the Senate Galllnger used the majority report suo mittcd bv tho Merchant Marine Commis sion A minority report wll be made by Senator Malloo't In the form ot tne mi nority report of the Commission, which. It is said, will be signed by all of the Democratic members of Ihe committee except Senator Martin, who was a mem ber of the Commission. In the discussions of the Commission today Senator Martin said he was not ready to subscribe abso lutely to the -views of the majority, nor did he want to commit himself to tbe mi nority report. No rollcali was had in the committee on the subject of reporting the bill, and therefore the trend of the discussion Is the only .record of the attitude of the Re publican members. It Is understood, how ever, that no Republican Senator took so positive a stand against reportlrvs theibjll as would cause him to support the minor ity views. The bill, as reported by the Commis sion, was only amended In one Important particular by the Commerce Commission. An Increased mall subvention was author ized for the proposed new route from a port on the Pacific Coast to Hawaii, Japan and China and the Philippines. For a monthly service the subvention wa3 Increased from $300,000 to $400,000. and for a fortnightly service from $600,000 to $300,- 000. Members of th-; committee feared that the subvention proposed by the Com mission was Insufficient to attract bid ders for the contract. Bailey asked if the bill proposed a direct subsidy, and Mr. Galllnger replied that It provided for certain subventions to ships when their owners meet the requir ments prescribed. Bailey stated that this provision was contrary to the under standing when the resolution providing for the appointment of the Merchant Ma rine Commission was adopted. "When unanimous consent for the con sideration of that measure was asked, " he said, "I objected and was Induced to withdraw my objection on the promise that the Commission would recommend discriminating duties and not a subsidy." Galllnger said he had had no knowledge of such an agreement. "If I had known of such an understand ing," he said. "I should not have accept ed a place on the Commission, because I would not have undertaken the work with my hands tied. No hearings would have been necessary with that pledge out. It would have been most extraordinary, not to say preposterous." "There would have been no Commis sion." responded Bailey. "If the promise had not been made. The record will show that the colloquy occurred as I haye Indi cated." Bally read from the Congressional Rec ord a colloquy between himself and Frye at the time the resolution providing for a Merchant Marine Commission was passed. It showed that Bailey had withdrawn his objection to the bill because Frye ex pressed the opinion that the work of the Commission would result "in a provision for a discrimination in duties." Lodge said the statement by Frye was merely the expression of a personal opin ion and that there would be as much op portunity for retaliation under a tonnage tax system, such as has b?cn recommend ed, as under a system of discriminating duties. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill va then taken Op. In connection with a paragraph adding to the classified service a number of labor ers employed as clerks, a discussion of the Civil Service was participated In by Gorman, Culloro, Allison. Stewart and others. Gorman complained of such legislation as unfair to persons who have taken the Civil Service examination. He asserted that this was the most expensive Gov ernment in the world, which, he said, was due to the appropriation of money in lump sums to be expended at the discre tion of the executive departments. He traced the treasury deficit to this source. Gorman also criticized the amendment appropriating $30,000 to permit the De partment of Commerce to send agents abroad to investigate trade conditions, saying the department had more than It could do In this country. The provision was amended so as to limit the pay of agents to $10 per day and actual traveling expenses. Foraker's bill requiring the labeling of carriage occupied by Government offi cials other than Cabinet officers was stricken out Bern made a point of order against the amendment increasing the salaries ot the members of the Civil Service Commission from $3300 to $4000. but. pending its dis cussion the Senate, at 4:15 P. M.. ad journed. PUNISHED FOR LOBBYING. Secretary of Iowa Letter-Carriers Is Removed From Office. DES MOINES. Ia.. Jan. 12. G. H. Clark, of Wadena.
