THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBBUART 28, 1905. HE IS NOT GUILTY J udge Sway n e Acq u itted on AH Counts. SENATE CLEARS HIM Not Even Bare Majority Against Him on Any Count TWO-THIRDS IS REQUIRED Great impeachment Trial a Fiasco Voting Follows Party Lines Distinguished Assemblage at Closing Scene. -WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. The Senate, Bitting as a court of Impeachment for the trial of Charles Ewayne, District Judgo for the Northern District of Florida, to day acquitted him on all of tho 12 articles of impeachment brought by the House of Representatives. On none of the articles was there even a majority for conviction, although it required two-thirds to con vict. Tho closest vote was on the last article, the contempt case of W. C. O'Neal,, when 35 Senators voted guilty and 47 not cuilty, while on two articles only 13 Senators voted for conviction. The voting for the most part was on par ty lines, thoush there was not a strict alignment on any article. At the con clusion of the voting the presiding officer directed the secretary to enter an acquit tal UDon the records, and the court then adjourned without day. Judge Swayne was not in tho Senate during the rollcall, but in the Presidents room. Just back of the chamber. The result of each ballot was sent to him by his attorneys. Five of the House managers attended "during the proceed ings. There was an exceptional attendance of Senators, and the galleries were crowded. Many members of tho House also were in attendance. They occupied seats es pecially set apart for them in the rear of the Senate chamber, and followed the proceedings with the closest attention. The House managers and the attorneys for Judge Swayne were Ushered In and took their usual seats, and the sergeant-at-arms for the last time made proclama tions of the trials, as usual, threatening Imprisonment for a violation of the rule imposing silence. Judge Swayne was not present. Piatt (Conn.), presiding, announced that the rule prohibiting applause would be rigidly enforced, a violation resulting in the certain eviction of the offender. First Article Is Not Sustained. The trial preliminaries required only ten minutes. The first article of Im peachment then was read, and the vote taken on It. In this article Judge Swayne was charged with making a false certificate for expenses while holding court at "Waco, Tex. "Senators," said the presiding ofll cer, when the article was read, "how say you? Is the respondent, Charles Swayne, guilty or not guilty as charged in this article?" The calling of the roll by tho secretary was then beirun. Aldrlch's name was first.- He was not present, so that the first Senator to rise in response to the call was Alger, who voted "not guilty" In clear and distinct tones. He was fol lowed Immediately In the negative by Al liron, Allee and Ankeny, all pronouncing verdict while standing. All are Republi cans. Bacon was the first Democrat on the roll and likewise first to answer In the affirmative, finding Judge Swayne guilty. The vote throughout was largely parti san. Bard, Kittredge, McCumber and Nel son (Republicans) voting "with the Demo crats for conviction, and Dubois and Gib son with the Republicans for acquittal. The utmost quiet prevailed while the vote progressed. The vote stood 33 to 43. being In detail as follows: Guilty Bacon. Bailey, Bard, Bate. Berry, Blackburn, Carmack. Clark (Mont), Clay, CockrelL Culberson, Daniel, Foster (La.), Gorman, Kit tredge, Latimer, McCreary, McCumber, McEnery, McLaughlin, Mallory, Martin, Money, Morgan, Nelson, Newlands Overman Patterson, Pettus, Simmons, Stone, Taliaferro, Teller 33.

Y.), Proctor, Quarles, Scott. Smoot, Spooner, Stewart, War ren 49. Under the rule requiring a two-thirds vote to convict, 55 votes In the affirma tive would have been necessary to con vict. As this vote was almost reversed. Judge Swayne was pronounced to be not guilty. The chair announced this to be the result, saying "On article 1 of the Impeachment of Charles Swayne, 33 Sen ators have voted guilty' and 49 Senators have voted 'not guilty Two-thirds not having voted for conviction, Charles Swayne stands acquitted of the charges contained in the first article." "While the vote was in progress, Knox had asked to be excused from voting, saying that he would have an explana tion to make at the close of tho vote. He then said that illness had prevented him from either Teadlng or listening to the testimony In the case, and ho asked to be excused. The request was granted. Quick Action on Other Articles. The reading and voting upon the other articles followed in rapid succession. The second charge was that of an excessive charge for expenses while holding court at TylerATex. The proceeding In this case was an exact counterpart of that on the first article, and there was only one change in the vote, which was that made by Clark (Dem., Mont.), who, hav ing cast his first vote for conviction, changed on this rollcall and voted for ac quittal. The result was 32 for conviction to 50 for acquittal. The third charge also related to exces sive expense charges at Tyler, Tex., and the vote was Identical with the vote on the second article, 32 to 50. The fourth and fifth articles related to the use of private cars. There were only 13 votes of guilty on them, as follows: Bailey, Berry, Blackburn, Carmack, Cock rell. Culberson, Daniel. McLaurln, Mar tin, Money, Morgan, Newlands, Pettus all Democrats. On theslxth charge, that of non-residence by Judge Swayne in his district, the vote was 31 to 51. On this vote, Clark (Montana), changed back to the affirma tive side, but Kittredge and McCumber went to the negative. Dubois and Gibson voted for conviction on this charge. On the seventh article, relating to resi dence, the vote was 19 for conviction to 63 against. Tho affirmative vote was as follows: Bate.. Berry. Blackburn. Car- inaci.Clark:-(M:ontana), CockrelkDaniel,; Dubois. Gibson, Latimer, McCreary, Mc Enery, McLaurln. McCreary, Martin, Money, Morgan, Pettus and Taliaferro 19. Tho ote on the eighth, ninth, 10th and 11 articles, covering the contempt cases of E. T. Davis and Simeon Belden, was 31 to 51. On tho articles covering the contempt cases, Messrs. Dubois (Dem.) and Hans brougn (Rep.) voted for conviction, and Bard (Rep.) for acquittal. On these ar ticles Hansbrougn and McCumber were the only Republicans who voted for con viction, and Stone was the only Demo crat for acquittal. Vote Closest on Contempt Case. The 12th article was the last. It dealt with the conduct of Judge Swayne In punishing W. C. O'Neal for contempt In assaulting a trustee in bankruptcy ap pointed by him. -On the final vote the result was 35 guilty to 41 not guilty, tho largest vote given for conviction. Bard, Hansbrougn, Kittredge, McCumber, Nel son and Quarles voted "guilty" with tho Democrats. Gibson and Newlands (Dem ocrats), voted "not guilty" with the Re publicans. The result on this vote being announced and with It the entire verdict ascertained, the chair directed the secretary to enter an order of acquittal on all the articles. This being done, a motion for final ad journment of the trial was offered by Fairbanks and it prevailed. Thus the long and tedious proceedings came to an end. Messrs. Thurston and Hlgglns were congratulated by many . Senators, the House managers walked up the center aisle of the chamber and soon took their departure, the galleries were Bpeedlly cleared, and the Senate proceeded with Its regular business. "HABBY ME OR DIE" SHE DIES Actress Slain by Lovesick Policeman, Who Commits Suicide. CHICAGO, Feb. 27. Miss Mary Cath erine Mulvelll, an actress, -was mur dered today by Daniel Herman, a po liceman, whose love sne had refused. The crime was committed in the most fashionable part of Michigan Boule vard at a time when the avenue was filled with pedestrians and carriages. Herman, after killing- the young woman, made his escape, and tonight committed suicide in a lodging-house at 3165 Archer avenue by shooting him self through the brain. The young- lady was returning- from St. James Parochial School, where she frequently acted as a substitute teacher, and had reached the corner of Twenty-ninth street and Michigan boulevard when she met Herman, who had evidently been waiting- for her. "What passed between them will never be known. Suddenly Herman seized the girl's arm, caught her close to him and fired three times. One bullet passed through her brain, one tore off a finger of her right hand and the third missed her. Herman became infatuated with the girl through hearing- her play at St. James Catholic Church, where she acted as organist, and had for a long time annoyed her with his attentions, constantly urging- her to marry him. Herman had been a member of the Chicago police force for several years, acting as a "plain clothes" man. For about ono year he had been on fur lough.

MAKE NO INCREASE Senate Sets Limit on River and Harbor Funds, FULTON TOLD PLAIN FACTS Burton Says If Senate Makes In crease, House Will Knock Them Out No Hope for Tacoma Waterway Scheme. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 27. In view of the determi nation of the Senate commerce commit tee to make few amendments to the river and harbor bill, and, inasmuch as it is probable that most of the increases mado by the Senate will be stricken out in con ference, there seems to be a good pros pect at this late day that the river and harbor bill will pass beforo adjournment. In fact, most Senators now feel confident that the bill will pass In substantially the form In which it was originally reported to the House. It was found today that"lhere Is abso lutely no hope of securing increases in any appropriations for the Columbia River or for Oregon improvements. Sen ator Fulton had a hearing before tho committee this morning and asked for $150,000 increase in the cash appropriation for the mouth of the Columbia. The com mittee Indicated that It would not make any increase. Later, when Fulton talked with Chairman Burton of the House com mittee, he was told very flatly- that in case the Senate did increase any appro priation for the Columbia River, the House would knock it out. This makes the outlook hopeless, so far as Increasing any appropriations Is con cerned, and It Is equally hopeless that any new Oregon Items will be added. In fact, there is every prospect that the various additions to the bill for Washington Im provements secured by Senator Foster will have to be cut out when the bill goes to conference. The House is particularly opposed to Senator Foster's amendment for dredging out the middle waterway of Tacoma harbor, since this Improvement would benefit only tho Northern Pacific Railway and the St. Paul & Tacoma Lum ber Company, of which Foster Is vice- president. The House will not improve. any property of private owners, and, is dead against the Foster amendment. Whltsons Name Is Presented. OREGONIANyNEWS BUREAU, Wash ington,, Feb. 27 Representative.

BURTON- DEFEATS HEMENWAY Personal Victory for Ohio Man, Chairman Being Twice Reversed. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. With a hand ful of Republicans, aided by the Demo crats, Representative Burton, of Ohio, to day gained complete control of the House and forced an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill, requiring the use of granite In the construction of the pub lic building at Cleveland, his home town. Chairman Hemenway, of the appropria tions committee, was put to rout, while the unusual spectacle was witnessed of the presiding officer being twice overruled on an appeal from his decisions. The amendment, however, was not agreed to until Hemenway had exhausted unsuc cessfully every means at his disposal to check tho tide against him. In order to adopt the amendment, it was necessary to revert to a page of the bill already passed over, a procedure also unusual. Burton Defeats Hemenway. Seeing that he had been outflanked by Burton, Hemenway several times sought an adjournment after the bill had been reported to the House for favorable ac tion, but his motions were voted down. So clearly wero he and his followers In the minority that Hemenway Interrupted a roll call to move the. passage of the bill, which carried amid loud applause. The bill carries a total appropriation of $45, 272.2S0. Earlier in the day the conference report on the Army appropriation bill was agreed to, and a number of measures pertaining to the District of Columbia were passed. When the House met, the regular order was the consideration in committee of the whole of bills relating to the District of Columbia. The proceedings later were interrupted by a message from the Senate announcing the acquittal of Judge Charles Swayne on all the counts against him. There was no demonstration of any kind when the mes sage was read. Hemenway (Rep., Ind.), chairman of the committee on appropriations, reported the general deficiency appropriation bill, the last of the great supply bills to be re ported at this session, following which further consideration was given to Dis trict of Columbia measures. The controversy over the admission to the West Point Military Academy of two Chinese subjects, Ying Using Wen and Ting Chla Chen was renewed when Hull (la.) again offered the resolution having that object in view. Its consideration by unanimous consent was objected to by Butler (Pa.), whereupon Hull moved a suspension of the rules. The rules were suspended and the resolution was passed. The conference report on the Army ap propriation bill then was agreed to, which passed the measure. The sundry civil appropriation bill then was taken up, the pending amendment be ing that by Adamson (Ga.) to increase $50,000 the bill for topographical surveys. Following a plea by Hemenway for eco nomy, Williams (Miss.), the minority leader, severely arraigned the administra tion for having abandoned the Monroe Doctrine. The way to economize, he said, was to stop "your miserable. Oriental, colonlstic foolishness." The United States should stop send ing men-of-war to assist In establish ing receivers for South American re publics. The Monroe Doctrine, he de clared, had been deserted for a "new Roosevelt doctrine that is henceforth to be the guide of the American peo ple" in their dealings with the world." and means the sending- of American boys to be shot down while acting as policemen to collect debts for Euro pean speculators. Hemenway twitted the Democrats with tho fact that, notwithstanding their charge before election that the President was treading on dangerous ground "by appointing receivers for South American republics," they were now trying to g"et up to the White House to approve of Roosevelt's elec tion. The amendment was adopted by 120 to 87. On a point of order by Bartlett (Ga.) the House struck out the provision ap propriating $200,000 for an Army gen eral hospital, to be located in Wash ington. The provision to substitute for ex isting commissions In charge of the several military parks a commission of members having all the powers and duties of the former bodies was stricken out on a point of order. An echo of the Swayne impeachment case, was heard when various amend ments were offered to put restrictions around the $10 a day limit allowed for expenses of District Judges, but all such were ruled out on polnt3 of- order coming simultaneously from members on both sides of the chamber. The reading of th bill was con cluded. The refusal by Hemenway to accede to a request by Burton (Ohio) to re turn to the provision relating to the Cleveland public building caused the latter gentleman to lead a successful fight against tho committee's rising and favorably reporting the bilL He had the support of many Republicans and the entire Democratic strength. He renewed his motion, but was opposed at every turn by Hemenway, who con tended that the rules forbade such ac tion. The situation presented a new ques tion of parliamentary procedure, but the chairman in an exhaustive opinion ruled against Burton, who Immediately appealed from the decision. By a vote of 71 to 89, and amid Democratic ap plause, tho decision of the chair was not: sustained. The paragraph then was returned to, and Burton offered an amendment pro viding for the uso of granite in the construction of the building. Follow ing a prolonged discussion, tho chair sustained a point of order against the Burton proposition. Burton again ap pealed from the decision, but pending action on his motion, Hemenway moved that the committee rise, but, that mo- tloa ajrloV72-jto-'lQ0, -By.-s.-.votef ot.

DENIES JEWELS AKE -SMUGGLED Mrs. ChadwJck Challenges Customs Collector to Prove It. CLEVELAND. O., Feb. 27. The Plain dealer tomorrow will say: Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick has given out her side of the Investigation that Customs Collector Leach has been carrying on for the past few weeks. Mr. Leach has taken possession of many thousands of dollars worth of stuff that once belonged to Mrs. Chadwick, and has thrown on Its present owners the burden of proof that Mrs. Chadwick paid duty on the stuff when It was imported. "If any one has turned property over to Mr. Leach at his demand, they have acted very foolishly and in Ignorance of their rights," declared Mrs. Chadwick. "There Is not a dollar's worth of stuff I ever owned that was 'smuggled Into this coun try, and the people who now have any thing I ever had ought to bear this In mind and refuse to allow Mr. Leach to seize the property. "If Mr. Leach has obtained any jewelry In the East, It Is jewelry that I sacrificed as security on loans made in the years 1202 and 1903. At that time I made several large loans In the East, and secured them strongly with personal jewelry as collat eral Subsequently It developed that the men" from whom I had borrowed the money demanded such exorbitant commis sions that I forfeited the security rather than pay them their utterly unjust fees. "I will make this offer to Mr. Leach, If he will go Into any. court In the land and prove that one single dollar's worth of the property he has seized was smuggled by me, or for mo, I will plead guilty to every single one of the multitudinous In dictments against me." Mrs. Chadwick was equally vehement in denying the rumors that she has a for tune somewhere in the old country. Move to Quash Chadwick Indictments CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 27.
