THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1905. IS AiMED. AT MILES Says Lodge of Provision Re garding Officers' Pay 5 RAISES. BREEZE IN SENATE Scheme to Limit Pay of Retired Offi cers Who Serve With Militia Con demned by. Some Senators Proctor Proposes Plan. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. In connection with the consideration o the Army appro priation bill there was an animated dis cussion In the Senate today of the assign ment of General Miles to service In charge of the Massachusetts state militia. The controversy . was begtm by JLodge, who criticised in sharp language the provision prohibiting the awarding of extra pay or allowances- to retired officers assigned to active service when they exceed those of a Major on the active list. Lodge, Proc tor, Piatt (Conn.). Spooner, Bailey. Pat terson, Carmack and Money took part in the debate which followed. Several amendments were suggested, but action on them and on the provision went over for the day. Some 200 pension bills were passed. "When the provision relating to retired officers' pay was reached. Lodge moved to strike it out. saying that 1t was almd at General Miles, who had taken office In connection with the militia of Massa chusetts. He denounced the provision as needless and unjust, especially In its retro active feature. (He would admit, he said, that the pay of a Lleutenant-General. which would be received by General Miles, 3s large, but. If he was to do active duty In the militia there was no Teason why he should not be paid for It. "I do not think," he said, "that It Is becoming or desirable to pass such legis lation as this and make it retroactive." He reasserted his regret that the corn mlttec on military affairs had not stricken the provision out. Spooner Calls It Cowardly. Spooner thought the provision should be omitted from the bill because It was wrong in principle. He did not agree that It was aimed at General Miles. "It was," he said, "a cowardly way of preventing the assignment of general officers to active duty. It affects a class and Is not necessarily aimed at any individual." Patterson announced bis indorsement of the provision except so far as it was retro active. He suggested amendments mak ing it applicable only to the future. He paid ho had been Informed' that, in ten dering the position at the head of the Maraachusetts militia to General Miles, Governor Douglas had volunteered com pensation from the state, which had been declined by the General. He understood thrre were only about 13 officers now de tailed for military service. Proctor Bald the number was about 30 and he gave a list of states to which such assignments had been made, including Colorado. "The militia of Colorado is not very large, but It is very active." said Patter son, causing a smile throughout the Senate. Bailey made an argument against any pay to retired officers. He did not be lieve, he said, that the provision was meant to cover the case of General Miles. Scott gave assurance that the committee on military affairs had had no one person In mind when the paragraph was adopted. Proctor Offers Amendment. Proctor suggested the following substi tute for the House provision: That hereafter retired ofneer above the grade of Major shall be assigned to active, duty In connection with the organized, militia in the several states and territories, upon the re quest of the Governor thereof, receive their lull retired pay and alfo computation of quar ters, unless Government quarters arc available, and shall receive no further pay allowance. provided that a Lieutenant-Colonel to assigned ha!l receive the full pay and allowance ot a Major on the active list. Fulton contended that the amendment did not remedy the evil and Lodge said it had the -effect of perfecting the injustice of the provisions. It showed more clearly than anything that has been offered that the purpose is to strike only at officers who have taken service with state militia. he said, and he again announced his oppo sition to the entire proposition. Nelson said the real desire is to place officers in position to get not only their full pay. but also an additional $2000 or $3000 from the states. "That is the germ of the Senator's contention," he said, re ferrlng to Lodge. The latter replied that General Miles is getting no pay from Massachusetts: that he hOd refused 4t. Miles Not Under Discussion. "I would suggest," Interrupted Scott, "that we are not discussing Geenral Miles, but a general bill." "You are discussing General Miles.' said Lodge, "because he is one of the officers aimed at." On the suggestion of Proctor, the amendment went over to be voted on to morrow. The oath of office as a Senator was ad ministered to Knox for the short, term closing on March 4. and his credentials for the long terra, beginning March 4, were presented by nls colleague, Penrose Alger also presented the credentials of Burrows for the six-year term beginning next year. On motion of Hale the Senate postponed the hour of meeting tomorrow until o'clock, to permit Senators to attend the wedding ot the daughter of Senator War rcn. In connection with the provision for the support of a provisional regiment of na tive troops in Porto Kico, Clay called at tention to the fact that Secretary Root had recommended the discontinuance of that regiment. Proctor replied that Root subsequently changed his mind, and had urged the retention of the regiment. The reading of the bill was concluded, but, without acting on it, the Senate took up the private pension calendar and passed a large number of bills. At the- Instance of Clay a resolution tailing on the .Postofflce Department for information covering the dealings of that department with the railroads since 1S73 -was adopted. "with this torrent," lie would insist that Baker be required to confine ills remarks to the bllL The minority leader, 'Williams (Dem. Miss., supported Baker, saying it seemed Jo him that " McCleary was 'afraid that the argument of Baker was 'undermining his foundation, adding tnal it would be desirable, in the in terest of the Republican party, for McCleary to withdraw his point. McCleary was Insistent, liowever. and Mann, in the chair, cautioned Baker that he could not agree that a discussion of all the ills in the world would be in order on a proposition such as the one under consideration. Baker declined to proceed further and took his seat amid applause. After some further discussion the bill was oassed. The House then passed the Military Academy appropriation bill. Wadsworth (Rep. N. T.) reported the agricultural appropriation bill and gave notice that he would call it up tomorrow.

The Inves tigation ' of protests against Senator Smoot, so far as the introduction of testimony 1s concerned, was brought to a close today. "When the Senate committee on privileges and elections convened A; S. Wortblngton, counsel for Senator Smoot, announced that he would not put other witnesses on the stand, and that he had nothing further to offer. Judge Tayleri counsel for the pro- testants, decided, not to offer any evi-' dence in rebuttal. Chairman Burrows, after brief dis cussion between counsel, ruled that ar guments should be begun tomorrow, and the time limited to five hours on each side, with leave to file extracts from the testimony. It had been expected by the defense to use Senator-elect George Sutherland as a witness, but after a cqnsuitatiotr before the committee convened it was decided to close at once. The decision took Judge Tayler by surprise, and he was not ready to begin his arguments. but said he could begin tomorrow. He asked that there be a full attendance of the committee, and the chairman agreed to see every member person ally and urge all to attend. It was finally agreed that Judge Tay ler should open the arguments, and be followed by counsel for the defense. Judge Taylsr will then be permitted to close. The Investigation was opened Jan uary 16. 1904. and occupied much of the time until the adjournment of the last session of Congress. It was re sumed soon after the present session convened, and for" the past three woks sessions have been held every day. PUBLIC TEA ROOMS Second .Floor. Auspices T. a X "Grandma" Munra, hostess.

Portland's Largest, Leading Garment Store for Dressy Women OPPOSES DOMINICAN PROTOCOL Senator Bacon Says It Is Stretch of President's Power. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The Senate committee on foreign relations today dis cussed the resolution introduced by Sena tor Bacon asking Information from the President relating to the recent arrange ment with Santo Domingo, but the reso lution went over until the next meeting without action. Senator Bacon said that it Is impossible for the United States to establish such a protectorate except by treaty approved by the Senate and to make such an ar- , rangement with Santo Domingo under ( guise of a protocol was unwarranted, i unless the President first communicated with the Senate. He declared that the j official statement issued ' by Assistant ' Secretary of State Loomis, shows that the President has exceeded his authority. He says that, if it is true that this Government has taken over the control of the customs offices of the Domenican government, then this country might be held responsible for all of that govern ment's financial obligations. He said he believed foreign governments would take this view of the situation. Women's $ 1 2.50 to $25.50 Street Suits for $6.95 GRAND SALONS SECOND FLOOR.
