THE MORNING. OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1906. FORAKER CALLS TO TIME TILLMAN Accuses Him of Violating Rules in Report on the Rate Bill. HOT RETORT COMES BACK) Tyrannical Conduct of Trunk Lines Forms Excuse for New Provi sions Foraker Wails Over rasses and Jim Crow Cars. DAY'S WORK IX THE SENATE. WASHINGTON. June 5. The Sen ate today passed the naval appropri ation bill and also save consider able attention to the conference re port on the railroad rate bill. The only Important amendment to the naval bill requires the Secretary of the Navy to submit plans for the proposed big warship to Congress before proceeding with its construc tion. The bill carries an appropria tion of 10a.llT,G70. There Is no doubt that the rate bill will be sent back to conference. Tillman admitted that some of the changes made In conference cannot be Justified under the rules, but said that they had been necessary In 'or der to make the bill harmonious. Foraker criticized the change In the anti-pass provision. the addition compelling connections with lateral lines and the omission of the provis ion regarding "Jim Crow" cars. Discussion ol the report will continue. "WASHINGTON, Juno 5. During the consideration today of the conference re port of the railroad rate bill, Foraker in dicated a purpose to insist upon an ex planation of the change made by the con ferees In including lateral or branch linea among those upon whose request com mon carriers shall be required to put in switches or switch connections. Tillman had explained the amendments on which he thought It possible points of order could be made, because of the presence of new matter, but had not in cluded the amendment in question. When Tillman expressed the opinion that the conferees had not transgressed their au thority in this matter the Ohio Senator dissented, saying; the suggestion had been made in the Senate, and had been voted down, and that it was clearly new matter. He therefore thought that the Senate should be told why the change had been made. Tyranny of Trunk Lines. Tillman replied that it was because of the "tyrannical and outrageous conduct of the trunk lines in such cases as that of the Red Rock Company In "West Vir ginia." He expressed the opinion that the only conference change against which a point of order will lie is that extending for o days the time when the rate bill shall go into operation. That, he con ceded, la clearly out of order. The report was then temporarily laid aside, and the Senate took up and passed the naval appropriation bill. Want Passes for Employes. Returning aga4n to the railroad rate bill, Foraker criticised the conferees on account of the new matter, saying that the conferees were not legislators, but mere Intermediaries. He also objected to the change in the anti-pass provision, making especial complaint of the elimi nation of railroad employes from the priv ilege of free transportation. Tillman replied that the change had been made at the suggestion of the con ference members of the House. He prom ised to do the best possible if the bill should be sent back. "1 don't know what we can accomplish," he said, "for there are some hard-headed men in the House as well as in the Senate." "Jim Crow" Car 8 Again. Foraker found fault with the amend ment prohibiting discrimination for or against passengers on account of color. He said several negroes had complained of the provisions as a recognition of the "Jim Crow" law of the South, but that such had not been the Intention, the only purpose being to secure proper treatment for all where the "Jim Crow" system prevailed. Bailey of Texas and Bacon of Georgia denied that any discrimination is prac ticed In their respective states. Ualllnger criticized the provision fixing the salary of the secretary of the Inter slate Commerce Commission as new leg islation, and said that Mr. Moscley, the present secretary, had tried to make it appear that he (the Senator) had spoken of him (Moseley) as an anarchist and that such was not the case. He had. however, said that the secretary would be better off If he would give attention to his office and cease trying to influence legislation. The matter -was still under considera tion when the Senate adjourned. Chinese Refugees Sent Home. SAN FRANCISCO, June i. Nearly 250 refugee Chinese Were sent home at the expense of the Chinese govern ment on the Japanese Hongkong Maru, which sailed today for the Orient. The Chinese lost heavily In. the nre, and as there is no immediate prospect of their being permanently located in this city, they expressed a desire to return to their native land. The Chinese Consul General in this city sent word to Pekln of the condi tions here, and in reply received word that the government had appropriated money for the transportation of all Chinese In California who were desir ous of leaving. The liner Korea, which sails on July 12, will carry a large number of returning Celestials. Relief Fund at Phelan's Order. NEW YORK, June 6.

SPEAKER HASTENS ACTION Bureau Will Keep Record of All Nat uralizations New Citizens Must Speak English and Give No tice of Application. WASHINGTON, June 5. In many par ticulars today was a "red letter" day in the House, not only ..in the , number of bills passed, but In the general character of the legislation enacted. What bids fair to cause endless trouble, the naturali zation bill, was passed under suspension of the rules, the Speaker and the gentle man in charge of the bill, Bonynge, of Colorado, doing team work of a superior kind. The House refused to pass a bill leas ing to a private firm or corporation the right to mine coal on the Island of Batan, in the Philippine group, although it was stated that such a lease would decrease the amount paid by the Government for coal very considerably. For two hours the House worked under suspension of the rules The rest of the dny was taken up with the passage of bills by unanimous, consent. NATURALIZATION BILL PASSED Speaker Help9 Bonynge to Railroad It Through House. WASHINGTON, June ft By clever tac tics Bonynge. of Colorado, in. charge of the naturalization bill, and with the as sistance of a friendly Speaker, had the measure establishing a Bureau of Immi gration and Naturalization throughout the United States read in the time set apart for the passage of bills under sus pension of the rules in the House today. The move surprised Cockran, of New York, who began filibustering against its consideration. He made a point of order against the bill on the ground that it could not be considered under suspension of the rules. The Speaker overruled the point and on an appeal was sustained, 155 to 37. The bill was debated for 40 minutes, and after two amendments had been agreed to, unanimously was passed. An amend ment was adopted providing that the re quirements of section 9 shall not apply to aliens who shall hereafter declare their Intention to become citizens and who shall make homestead entries upon the public land of. the United States and comply In all respects with the laws pro viding for homestead entries. The bill provides for a Bureau of Natur alization at Washington, which shall fur nish all blanks for use and keep a record of all naturalisations. It requires an applicant to file a petition for naturaliza tion 90 days before it is acted upon by a court. It prohibits any naturalization 30 days before any general election. It au thorizes the United States District Attor ney to appear and cross-examine appli cants and witnesses. It adds the addi tional qualifications that applicants must be able to speak English before receiving final papers and they must swear that they intend to reside permanently in the United States. It also provides a pro cedure for the cancellation of fraudulent certificates. ADOPTS NEW TUCK Schoolgirls Watch Legislation. WASHINGTON, June 5. The galleries were crowded today when the House con vened, schoolgirls and teachers being largely in the majority and watching with much Interest the labors of the people's representatives. If We Had Right Kind of Citizens. GLASGOW, June 5. The visiting representatives of the American Civic Federation. in examination of the gas enterprises of the city, said comparison" was impossible with the American method, where the coke used is much superior to the kind used in Glas gow. Mr. Ingalls said he had been much impressed with the success of municipal ownership in Glasgow, and thought the same results could be achieved in Ameri ca if the right kind of citizens would enter public life. He said: "We have the right kind of citizens, but they all seem to be too busy to take part in the affairs of city government." Of the undertakings he had seen in Glasgow he put the tramways easily first, then the gas supply, and, last, the electri cal supply system. Liquor Association Declares for Temperance. DRUNKENNESS A CRIME Condemns Prohibition as Un-American, But Favors Enforcement of Laws and Conducting Saloons on a Higher Plane. LOUISVILLE, June 5. The National Liquor-Dealers' Association, which opened Us annual convention here today, issued an address to the poople of the United States, in which the belief of its members in temperance is expressed; obedience to the law is indorsed; the work of the various temperance societies Is com mended and the statement made that in toxication should be considered a crime. The address says in part: Prohibition Not Effective. . From time to time during- the past 75 or 100 years, waves of public sentiment antago nistic to the manufacture and sale of wine and spirits and other alcoholic beverages have passed over this country, leaving In their train state, county and- municipal legislation of a more or less drastic character, legislation entirely out of sympathy with the spirit of American Institutions, legislation that was bound to fall in practically every instance, and this because the sentiment that compelled It was engendered by agitation and totally unripe for its enforcement. Experience has shown that, when a man votes for prohibition, it is invariably for the benefit of others and not for himself, for no man seems to really believe that society can order his life more wisely than he can order it, and for this reason all prohibitory taws, be they passed by the people of Maine or of Kansas or of Iowa, have In each and every case become dead letters, demoralizing to or der, destructive of revenue and at war with common sense and good citizenship. The "White Ribbon movement, the Blue Rib bon movement, the Prohibition movement and the Anti-Saloon League movement were, or are, protests upon the part of good men and women against two of the greatest evils con nected with our civilisation drunkenness and those saloons which are conducted in a disreputable manner or else in such a way as to demoralize rather than to elevate those who patronize them and we. the delegates to this convention of the wine and spirit trade, desire toy express our entire sympathy with the efforts that have been put forth to ex terminate the evils and our willingness to lend co-operation and assistance. Make Saloons Respectable. We believe that wines and spirits are bless ings Intended by an all-wise Providence to bring health and happiness to mankind. We believe that the legitimate manufacture and sale of wines and spirits is an honorable trade and one that should be respected by society and the laws. We believe that the saloon and cafe should be so conducted that men would not hesitate to visit them accompanied by their wives and children, and that the atmosphere of such places should be beneficial to both mind and body. CAMPAIGN TO DEFEND BEER. Brewers' Convention Will Fight Anti-Saloon League. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.." June 6. Plans will be laid at the meeting of the United States Brewers' Association, which will convene here tomorrow morning, to enter upon a campaign of education to combat the movement against saloons and the sale of beer. A circular letter was dis tributed tonight declaring it to be time for the brewers to make a determined effort to overcome the opposition of the Anti-Saloon League. The convention will also urge upon Con gress the pure-food law. Prominent mem bers of the association tonight said that the brewers are heartily In favor of pure food legislation and are ready to help push measures which will insure rigid Inspection of all food products. Denver Wants Big Conventions. DENVER, June S. A movement was launched yesterday at a meeting of the Denver Convention League to bring both great National conventions to . this city two years hence. Especial effort will be made to secure the Democratic Conven tion, but an Invitation will be extended to both conventions. It was agreed that at a meeting to be held in the near future, Judga John I. Mullins, Democratic com mitteeman for Colorado, and Hon. A. M. Stevenson, Republican committeeman for this state, will be officially notified of the Invitation of the league, and both shall be asked to use every effort to bring the con ventions here. GALLS GRAND JURY Denver Judge Will Probe Elec .' tion Frauds. CANNOT TRUST OFFICIALS WIN Appoint Special Men to Procure and Submit Evidence Party Chairmen and Othera De clared In Contempt. DENVER, June 5 Judge John I. Mul lins, in the criminal division of the Dis trict Court, this afternoon granted the petition of the Honest Election League for the calling of a grand Jury to investi gate the alleged frauds perpetrated by Denver public utility corporations in the interests of certain franchises at the elec tion held on May 15 last. District Attorney George Stidger, Sheriff Alexander and Coroner Robert P. Collins are removed from office so far as the grand jury is concerned, and other men will be appointed in their stead. Party Chairmen in Contempt. F. A. Williams, chairman of the Re publican City Central Committee; W. T. Davoren, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, and J. W. Brady, clerk of the Gas Company, who defied the court and refused to testify, have been declared in contempt of court and will appear in court tomorrow morning to re ceive sentence. At the same time the Judge will announce the elisors who will summon' the grand jury. Officials Not Trustworthy. The court also expressed the belief that the character of the testimony which was offered during the hearing of the peti tion was sufficient to convince any court that the Sheriff and the Coroner of the city and county were not the proper per sons to assist in callng such a jury and that the . District Attorney was not the proper person to lay before the Jury the matters to be Investigated. The very na ture of the testimony, the court seemed to think, indicated that a bold conspiracy had been entered Into by the corporation heads, who were likewise the heads of the poltlcal party with which the three officials were closely Interested.- Judge Mullins seemed to be of the opin ion also that the usefulness of the grand jury would be increased with special of ficers for the jury, whose attitude toward the interests to be Investigated could not be questioned and who would be abso lutely unprejudiced one way or the other. PASSES SEATTLE CANAL House Allows Moore to Dig Ditch Into Lake Washington. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June S. Representative Jones to day secured the passage through the House of the Senate bill authorizing James A. Moore, of Seattle, to build a ship canal connecting Lake Washington with Pugct Sound.
