WASHINGTON, Jan. 3L In the Senate today aPttcrson strongly Indorsed the po sition of the President In Santo Do mingo and in the matter of the Moroccan conference. He said that he -vas sorry to differ from his Democratic colleagues, but that he felt it his duty to do so in these matters. He also expressed abso lute confldenco in the patriotism of the President and In his good faith in an nouncing his determination not again to be a candidate for the Presidency. The remainder of the session was devoted to a debate on the shipping bill. On motion of Gallingcr, the Senate at the beginning of the session decided to reconsider the vote by which the bill au thorizing the placing of models of naval Vessels In state capitols was passed. The motion was opposed by Hepburn. Democrat Supports Roosevelt. Patterson addressed the Senate on the Dominican and Moroccan questions, sus taining the Administration In its policy on both subjects. Speaking of the . Do minican question, he said that it involved the Monroe Doctrine, and tliat there was Senator Thomas M. rattersoa, of Colorado. no .occasion for division on party lines on that question. He said that he confessed to a very friendly feeling toward the President, due to the record he had made as a statesman and citizen, and as the first magistrate of the Republic "I doubt." he said impressively, "wheth er If the Democratic party had succeeded in electing Its candidate In 1904, we would find him striving as earnestly, as zealous ly and as fearlessly in sustaining the rights of all the people against those who unite to oppress the masses as Is the present Chief Executive. He commended the President for initiat ing the merger suits and for his position in support of the railroad legislation, which, he said, "is giving life to a Dcm--sratic principle. "For three or four years." he added, "the President had been carrying on a struggle with the money power, the like of which had never been known since the days of Andrew Jackson." He believed the West to be behind the President In his stand, and he added the opinion that .if the real sentiments of the people of the South could be ascertained, they would be found to be favordablc to the President Prerogative Not Usurped. The Senator said that ho could not ac cept the contention that the President has JEw6?! any prerEatlv carrying Into effect the present arrangements In Santo Domingo. He did not believe that he was S3 FLC&rry lni effect a treaty which had not been ratified, but that it is merely- an arrangement to retain the funds of the island, so that they will be attainable In case of ratification. .""imoie 3!lt?nate can soon sctt,c it-" h said Bring the treaty before the Senate.

Heyburn sought to obtain ar agree ment to vote on the pure food bill on February 7. hut Teller objected. Knocks for Ship Suhsldy. Gallingcr made an effort to secure time -fnr a vote on the shipping bill, but objection was mado. A general dis cussion of thc measure then followed .Toller expressed the. opinion that the extra expense of bulldincf ships in the United States was not-Bo 'great a draw beclc to the shipping- industry as the difficulty of manning American ships. "Vhatj?uarantec have we that the sub sidized .ships would carry our mer chandise more cheaply than other ves sels?" 'Tic asked. v Gallinger replied by" pointing a the great reduction of freight rates -on the Groat Takcs, where, he said, the com petition was entirely among American vessels. He predicted, that without leg islation the United States will soon be wiped off" thc North'" Atlantic. ""In. tb. face of that fact thc Mer chant Marine Commission plvcs us only persimmons," said Fryc, and Gallinger replied that Frye could at any'tl'mo in troduce a bill to subsidize the North Atlantic ships and ho (Gallingcr) would support It. Spooner asked If this was not merely the beginning of a permanent subsidy plan for thc United States and Gallln :er replied that, when the business of shipbuilding was onco well established, construction would be cheaper. , Cost of Building Ships. Fhye said that ships could be built much more cheaply h wholesale than at retail. He added that, if the bill of DEMOCRACY J -9 91 had become a law, we would he building ships sow more cheaply than on the Clyde. While our American workmen gret 33 per cent more in the way of wages than the Clyde workmen, he said, we would soon do the work as cheaply as they do. Frye spoke of the higher rates nec essary "on American vessels as due to the greater cost of operation and Bailey suggested that wc should be thankful if other nations do our carrying so much cheaper than we can do It, leav ing out people to engage In more profit- i able enterprise. Neither Frye nor Gallingcr wouldj maac tne concession and tne question led to the exchange of some pleasant ries on the protective principle, which did not bear directly on thc question. At o:03 P. M. thc Senate went Into executive session and at 5:15 adjourned. HE MAKE DEMOCRATS SORE Patterson's Speech AV11I Icnd to Cau cus on Foreign Policy. WASHINGTON. Jan. 3L (Special.)

MAKES SCHWERIN ANGRY (Continued From Page 1) Stevens was a railroad man and confused steamship methods with railroad methods, whereas, as a matter of fact, they are totally different. Senator Knox asked Mr. Schwerln if he had not smarted a little under the criti cism of Mr. Taft and If that feeling had not cropped out in his testimony. Mr. Schwerln replied that he had thought It too bad to be held up to ridicule and dis grace by a high official of the United States, when every effort had been made to hcid thc American flag In a business that had almost been driven off the- seas. He denied to Senator Morgan that the Pacific Mall has any connections with a transcontinental railroad and declared that Mr. Taft's statement that hla com pany had put small steamers in the Isth mian trade in order to divert the better steamers to the coffee trade was "abso lutely false." He said that sailings had been missed because the Panama Railroad hd held up the ships at the Isthmus. He added: "It may be that they are not making the dirt fly there as rapidly as they want, but I am not going to let them make the fur pf the Pacific Mall fly without giving to thc public an understanding of the way business Is being done." Mr. Schwerln made a statement that the Tchuantcpec "Railroad across Central America will be' completed by June 1 and declared: "That will kill the American commerce which now crosses the Isth mus." He said that it would put the Pan ama Railroad and thcPacific Mall Steam ship Company's Panama lino out of busi ness, as by the new line there would be a reduction in the time from San Fran cisco to New York from 34 to 26 days.

CAMPBELL AFTER TRUSTS . 4 ' Kansas Member Inveighs Against Their Audacity In Dictating to States Perkins Predicts Disaster From Bill. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3L-DIscu2sIoa of the railroad rate bill continued In the House today. Incident to It two speeches, the cfTorts of Campbell of Kansas and Martin of South Dakota, took a wide range and swept thc horizon of "trust evils" generally. Bartlett of Georgia, a minority member of the committee report ing the bill, made a two hours' speech, in which he discussed the legal and constl tutional Questions involved and advocated the passage of tbe bill as a proper remedy for an Intolerable condition. The, first spcecn in opposition to thc bill, wnich concluded thc day's discussion, was made by Perkins of New York. He based his opposition to Government control of rates on an inherent aversion to Government control of business enterprises. Red tape and fixed conditions, he said, were an In separable part of Government action on' any matter. A bill was passed granting a Federal charter to the Carnegie, fund for thc ad vancement of teaching. Tbe fund con sists of 510.OXUO2. the income of which is to furnish pensions to retired educators. Kansan Riddles Trusts. The discussion was opened by Campbell. With the avowed intention of reaching thc Standard Oil Company, he offered an amendment, which he will press later, emphasizing thc placing of all pri vate car and transportation facili ties under the regulation of the Inter state Commerce Commission. He quoted from the testimony of railroad officials showing that the beef packers practically make their own rates; thc Standard OH Company had dictated in the same man ner; poultry, fruit and dairy products were subject to the same control Reverting to the Standard OH Company, Campbell declared: "But yesterday they issued a decree to the Attorney-General and the Governor of Missouri that further prosecution of a suit now pending in tho court against them must be stopped or they will de- strov the value of billions and billion of property within thc State of Kansas' and the Indian Territory. "Ye gods!" exclaimed Campbell, after he read a statement from an officer of the Standard Oil Company announcing that, if thc prosecution In Missouri did not cease, thc producers of oil in that sec tion would lack facilities to market their product. "The power of monopoly stop ping the prosecution of suits pending In the courts by threatening thc Innocent producers! "And the beef packers today in Chi cago are claiming Immunity from prose cution for crimes committed because they admitted their crimes with what they be lieved to be an implicit understanding that they would not be prosecuted." Questions Credit Due RooscvclU Assenting to tho provisions of the bill and regarding no excuse as necessary for uniting with the majority In the report from the committee, Bartlett gave an ex tensive analysis of the rate problem. The railroads, he said, had appealed to thc Constitution to escape regulation by thc states and were now appealing to the same document to escape Federal control. He limited the credit due to thc President, saying: "While It is true the President in two messages has urged legislation of this character, he is not entitled to the credit of having originated the proposed legis lation." Xcw Yorker Against Bill. Perkins (N. Y.) followed in opposition to the bill. Ho took a pessimistic view of the measure. 'If the bill answers any useful purpose it will be as a scarecrow," was his as sertion. While not claiming tho railroad situation to be Ideal, it would be easy to go from the frying-pan into thc fire. As to injur ing thc railroads, he was not alarmed at the bill, because, he said, it Is impossible there should be any active supervision of railroad rates under It. "There are millions of different rates In this country' he said. "There are a vast number of people who would be glad to get their rates cheaper; Just as there arc a vast number of people who are glad to get anything cheaper. Fixing these rates requires the constant action of thousands of trained men. All the wrongs that may be In this system we are going to have regulated by a tribunal of seven Judges, who have in addition an abun dance of other work on hand. If there was to be an active and effective super vision of railroad rates by the Govern ment, instead of seven Interstate Commis sioners we should need seven thousand." While there was no doubt of frequent instances of mistakes in the management of railroads, Perkins gave them credit as the pioneer builders of American in dustries, and contrasted to their credit thc rates in Europe, which, he said, were one-third higher than our highest rates. DIVIDES OS APPEAL QUESTION Senate Committee Falls to Agree on House Rato BUI. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3L The division in thc Senate over the railroad rat bill seems now to hang on the question of appeal to the courts from the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission when it fixes a maximum rate. The House bill and. the Dllllver-Clapp bill in the Senate provided for no appeal, leaving It to the railroad comuanies to take any case into the courts under the present laws. The opponents of the House and similar bills insist that the right of the railroads to an appeal In every case where the Commission fixes a rate must be given. A review of the action of the Commission by the courts is the contention and It appears that the rate fight Is to be made on these lines Scnatr Elkins, chairman of the commit tee, has had conferences with Senator Dolllver on this subject, but they have como to no agreement. Mr. Dolllver in sists that thc railroads have thc same protection in tho courts as otber citizens, while Mr. Elkins says that thc right or review by a court of any order of the Commission reducing a rate Is necessary In order to protect railroad properties. The present division probably will de velop further when thc committee meets next Friday. CANAL FROM LAKES TO OHIO House Committee Favors Charter for Great Waterway.
