SWAYNE 6ASE -18 UP
Fierce Argument Grows Out
of Impeachitient
DID LAMARV-ADyiSE .MURDER?
Littlefleld. 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.

PARLIAMENT TO BE DISSOLVED
British Government May Call Elec

LONDON, Jan. 12. King Edward, at
today's meeting of the Privy Council,
signed a proclamation convening Par
liament for February 14. The session
will be opened by the King: personally
with full state ceremonies. Tho un
usual lateness of the date of the re
opening- Is Interpreted to mean that
the Kovernmcnt does not propose to
press any redistribution bill, but to
jrive the aliens bill, which .premier
Balfour had definitely promised, tho
first place in Its legislative pro
gramme. Recent speeches of ministers con
Cnn the belief in an early dissolution
of Parliament, and it seems likely that
unless previously defeated, possibly
through the intentional abstention
of the Chnmbcrlalnltes, the govern

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.
