TONGUE FREE REIN
Runs Afoul of His Friend Bailey
in Severe Criticism of
All Lawyers.
GIRDS AT THE PRESIDENT
Bis Stick, He Says,. Deserted the
Pitchfork, Cnder Cover of Dust
Raised by Standard OU
Inspection Furore.
WASHINGTON, June 29. The Senate
devoted most of its time today to con
sideration of conference reports, in
cluding the reports on the railroad
rate bill, the pure food bill and the
meat-inspection provision of the agri
cultural bill. All were adopted during
the day session.
The principal controversy was over
the rate bill, when Senators Bailey and
Tillman had a heated collQquy, the
more notable because of the warm
friendship existing between the two
Senators. The controversy was on the
subject of railroad lawyers and Bailey
expressed strong disapproval of the
South Carolina Senator's views on that
subject.
There was also much discussion over
the meat-inspection provision. A num
ber of Senators expressed themselves
as willing only to accept the House
provision because it was attached to
an appropriation bill, and a deadlock
would cause the failure of the supply
bill.
Parting With the Big Stick.
Senator Tillman called up the con
ference report on the railroad rate bill
and renewed his attack-upon the pipe
line amendment as being in, the inter
est of the Standard Oil Company.
"About the time the Allison amendments
were incubating," he said, "there was a
great furore about the Garfield report
on the Standard Oil Company, and we
were told that the exposures of its crimes
would help the vote on the rate bill, and
under the covering of this dust, the Pres
ident retired from his advanced position
on railroad legislation and accepted the
Allison provision. -
"There the big stick and the pitchfork,
which had been In alliance, found them
selves separated, and the pitchfork, while
doing duty on the firing line, looked
around only to see the tail of its associate
hustling towards the rear, sliding towards
the Allison base, to use a baseball phrase.
The big stick was rushing in on all four
to get .between Father Allison's legs."
He had not fault to find, he added, ex
cept that he considered the fact that the
President had been Inconsistent In not
coming to the assistance of the Senate
conferees. He considered it "a little re
markable that Just when he might do
something to thwart the police of this
gigantic monopoly, he is as mum as a
mouse, except that there is now another
hurrah about what the President Is going
to do to the Standard Oil Company In the
way of suits."
High Officials Unmolested.
He added that, notwithstanding the
prosecution has been decided upon, we
are carefully told in advance that the
high officials, such as Rockefeller. Rogers
and Archbold, are not to be molested.
He then commented upon the employ
ment of District Attorney Morrison, of Il
linois, as special counsel of this case,
saying that he had demonstrated "how
not to do It," in the Walch case. "If,"
he added, "they wanted an expert in that
line, he is as good as could be." In the
same connection, he said, he had been In
formed that Hon. Frank Monnett. "the
most competent of all attorneys, is to lose
his job." He added:
"So it goes, the dear people are bam
boozled every day, but the hurrah goes
on. The President assures us from time
to time that the crimes of the Standard
Oil Company are to be punished, but
when it comes to a real fight and when
there is an opportunity to do something,
he sits dumb and allows the House con
ferees to compel the Senate conferees to
yield to the demands of the Standard OH
Company."
Little Tilt With Elklns.
In a colloquy, between Senators Elkins
and Tillman relative to what the former
knew of West Virginia, Tillman said:
"What you want in West Virginia Is
votes," to which Blkins retorted: "You
are hunting votes In South Carolina your
self." Bailey announced his Intention to vote
for the report, but confessed that neither
of the new provisions was to his liking.
The pass clause authorizing a railroad
company to transport the families of its
employes, but making no provision for the
families of railroad officials or attorneys,
was denounced by him as a "transparent
.piece of demagoguery." He considered it
an appeal to prejudice entirely unworthy
of Congress. He criticised the conferees
for so shaping the provision, and was
sharply challenged by Tillman, when one
of the sharpest conflicts of the session
occurred between the two Democratic
leaders, standing elbow to elbow.
The clash came when Tillman inter
rupted Bailey.
"An attorney exclusively in the em
ploy of a railroad might," said Till
man, ,"be classed with the other em
ployes, but the attorney who gets a
pass and does nothing else but watch
Juries, round tin conventions and do
other little odd Jobs and never gets
any compensation except transporta
tion for himself and family, is the
man I was after. I do not know what
the Senfetor thinks about it, but I think
that class have got no business riding
on the railroads at all unless they pay
for it, any more than any other man."
To this Bailey replied that he did
not regard such men as attorneys, and
Tillman proceeded, asking, "What
about the man who works with his
hands and the man who works with
tils brain? Then the man who works
with his brain only works a little
while and Is a pettifogger, a trickster
and lobbyist? That," he added, "i
the man we were after."
Tillman's Excitement Increases.
Tillman gave evidences from the
start of considerable feeling, and as
he progressed his manner became more
and more intense until he fairly shout
ed in Bailey's face as the two men
stood facing each other and near
enough together to touch.
Bailey replied to the last remarks by
saying that such a man as the South Car
olina Senator had described should not
be given a pass.
"We did the best we could," replied
Tillman, at the top of his voice, "there
are so many lawyers here who stick it
out that there Is no harm for lawyers to
get passes and that lawyers be excepted."
By this time Bailey had become excited
and replied: "There are too many dema
gogues who are always talking against
the lawyers" he did not get opportunity
to finish the sentence, for Tillman Inter
rupted, saying: "If there are any dema
gogues here they must be lawyers, be
cause the members of this body are law
yers, except, possibly, half a dozen."
At this Juncture, the Vice-President
found it necessary to Interfere and to in
sist upon the Senators addressing the
chair. The interruption gave Bailey an
opportunity to get his breath, and when
he resumed he was quite calm. Bailey
said:
"The Senator from South Carolina
has many admirable qualities, but he
nas some prejudices which obscure his
sense of fairness and clearness. I do
not know what grudge ha has down In
South Carolina against the lawyers,
but what he ought to do and nearly all
he needs to do to make one of the
most useful Senators of this body Is to
get that cobweb out of his mind.
"He performs great service; he does
It fearlessly and he does it honestly,
and the only thing that keeps him from
doing it wisely Is now and then he
yields to this very kind of a prejudice.
I have no patience with it myself. I
think a lawyer, if he is a good one, is
as good a citizen as lives beneath the
flag."
Regard for the Respectable.
Tillman replied, declaring his regard
for respectable members of the profes
sion, but adding:
"But I have a most Infinite contempt
for some of the breed I know." He
quoted Jesus' characterization of law
yers as "hypocrites, ana saia me
dirtv creatures who run the political
conventions" are the men whom he
would shut oft from the pass privilege.
The conference report was adopted
without division. This vote had the
effect of finally passing the bill. The
Senate then adopted the joint resolu
tion, fixing the time when the act shall
tro into effect, two months after Its
approval by the President.
The House had amended the proposition
of the Senate, making the rate bill .ef
fective 60 days from June 19, 1906. ' Afl
the rate bill passed It became effective
60 days after approval by the President.

SENATE YIELDS TO THE HOUSE
Bevcridge Withdraws Objection to
Meat-Inspection Amendment.
WASHINGTON, June 29. Senator Bev
eridge, who Introduced the original meat
inspection amendment to the Agricul
tural bill, withdrew his objections to the
Houne substitute. The Indiana senator
said he was in favor of compelling the
packers to pay the cost of Inspection and
requiring them to place the date of in
spection on cans of meat. He said that
the House substitute contained all other
features of the Senate bill, and In the
interest of practical legislation to puri
fy meat products, he would not stand in
the way before the Government Is re
quired to pay the cost of inspection.
Yhen the conferees on the Agricul
tural bill met today, the House Repre
sentative announced that under the in
structions voted by the House, they
would be compelled to insist upon the
House provision in regard to meat in
spection without compromise of any kind.
The Senate conferees stood out for the
compromise proposition, offered by Sen
ator Proctor to divide the expense of in
spection between the packers and the
Government, by retaining the J3,000,0O0
appropriation, but taxing cattle 6 cents
and Bwine, sheep and goats 3 cents a.
head, which would result in revenues of
about Jl.500.000 annually.
A Joint resolution providing a tempo
rary government for the Isle of Pines
was today Introduced in the Senate by
Senator Dick. The presentation of the
bill created immediate interest and at
the request of Senator Morgan it was
read and referred to the committee on
Pacific islands and Porto Rico. It applies
the canal zone government to the island
and in addition declares a policy with
reference to it. It is as follows:
"That until It shall be otherwise pro
vided by the act of Congress or by treaty
with Cuba, the government of the Isle
of Pines rightfully belongs to the United
States of America.
'That until Congress shall otherwise
provide by law. all the military, civil and
judicial powers, as well as the power to
make all rules and regulations necessary,
the government of the Isle of Pines
shall be vested in such person or per
sons and shall be exercised in such man
ner as the President shall direct for the
government of the said Isle of Pines and
maintaining and protecting the Inhabi
tants thereof in the free enjoyment of
their liberty, property and religion.
The House today adopted the confer
ence report on the Lake Erie Canal. This
passed the bill.

ing the reasons of five members of the
committee in not concurring in the report
of the majority. He has been given leave
to perfect his report before having it

The Really Historic Fourth.
Four Track News.
The Fourth of July, ever since that
memorable date in '76, has been an impor
tant day In the history of this country.
The adoption of the Declaration of Inde
pendence makes it. perhaps, the most no
table day In American history.
Other important events which have oc
curred on July 4 are the capture of Forty
Fort and the continuation of the horrible
Wyoming Valley massacre in 1778; the
signing by President Washington of the
first revenue bill, thereby making it a
law, in 1789; the death of Thomas Jeffer
son, the author of the Declaration of In
dependence, in 1S26, the 50th anniversary
of the adoption of that document, and
the death of John Adams on the same
day; the abolition of slavery in New
York State, and the freeing of 10.000 slaves
in 1827; the laying of the cornerstone of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad by Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, the last surviving
signer of the Declaration of Independence,
in 1828; the death of James Monroe in
1831, the anti-abolltlon mob riots in New
York In 1834; the ratification of the Texas
bill In 1845; the Five Points riot, in which
11 were killed, in 1857; the capture of
Vlcksburg by General Grant in 1863; the
great Portland, Me., fire, caused by a fire
cracker, with losses aggregating $15,000,
000, in 1866; and the destructive tornado
which swept Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio
and Missouri, with heavy loss of life and
property, in 1873. In fact the Fourth of
July seems destined to always be a day
when there is "something doing."

Ultimatum From United States
Soon to Reach Him.
NO ACTION FOR A YEAR
State Department, Meanwhile, Has
Been Putting American Claims
Against Venezuela In Condi
tion to Be Pressed."
' WASHINGTON June 29. Secretary
Root will accept the hospitality of Chile
and make part of his trip along the west
coast of South America in a Chilean war
ship. The United States cruiser Charles
ton, on which Secretary Root will sail
for South America, is too large a craft to
work Its way along the inside passage
from the Strait of Magellan to Valparai
so, Chile, and as a result Secretary Root
and his. party will leave the Charleston
at Sandy Point, In the Strait of Magellan,
and go aboard a Chilean man-of-war,
which can work its way along between
the islands of the West Coast and the
main land, thus shortening the trip by
several hundred miles and enabling Mr.
Root to remain longer In Chile.
Secretary Root probably will be in Rio
Janeiro for about ten days. His stops on
the West Coast of South America will be
at Valparaiso, Chile; Callao, Peru, and
Guayaquil, Ecuador. From Valparaiso
he will journey by rail to Santiago, the
capital of Chile. He will also take the
rail trip from Callao to Lima, the Peru
vian capital. The distance from Guaya
quil to Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is so
great that Mr. Root probably will be un
able to make the trip.
After crossing the Isthmus of Panama,
Mr. Root will go t Cartagena, Colombia,
to pay his respects to that government.
The Colombian Secretary of State will
doubtless be at Cartagena to greet Mr.
Root, and it is not unlikely that President
Reyes himself will make the long trip
from Bogota to greet the American Sec
retary of State. Cartagena will be Mr.
Root's last stop before returning to New
York.
SAC-FOX BILiIi IS VETOED.
Guarantees of Indians' Water Rights
Are Insufficient.
WASHINGTON. June 29. President
Roosevelt today vetoed the bills "to pro
vide for the annual pro-rata distribution
of the annuities of the Sac and Fox In
dians of the Mississippi, between the two
branches of the tribe." and to "survey
and allot the lands embraced within the
limits of the Blackfeet Indian reservation
and to open the surplus lands to settle
ment." The Sac and Fox measure carried an
appropriation of $100,000 for the Sao and
Fox Indians, to be taken from the annui
ties of the section of the tribe located la
Kansas and Oklahoma. The Interior De
partment officials opposed this because
the Iowa Indians had not gone before the
Court of Claims and established their
right to the money. In his veto the Pres
ident says he has decided on an Imme
diate and thorough investigation of the
matter. In the other message of veto, the
President said:
"I am anxious to favor In every proper
way the actual bona fide homesteaders of
Northern Montana, and I will gladly sign
any bill which will favor them, providing
that it explicitly and unequivocally guar
antees to the Indians their water rights."
REGULATIONS CHANGED.
Effort to Divorce Service From Po
litical Affiliations.
WASHINGTON. June 29. With a view
to giving effect to the plans of Secretary
Root for the regulation of a Consular
service on a merit basis, and as far as
divorcing it from political affiliations, the
President issued an executive order mak
ing important changes in the method of
appointment and promotion of officers in
that service. According to the regulations
made by the President, Consular officers
salaries at more than $2500 are to be Oiled
entirely by promotion from the lower

Reorganization of Customs Districts.
WASHINGTON. June 29. Payne, of
New York, tonight in the House asked
unanimous consent to take up for con
sideration the bill providing for the con
solidation and reorganization of customs

Four Track News.
Have you ever driven along a csuntry
road by moonlight? That sott, dreamy
radiance which all the carefully and ar
tistically arranged arc lights in the world
cannot give! How wonderful the heav

man reaches out and uj to better

by bubbling springs that come from cool.

there will be strange moving shadows on
the white road as the branches bend in
the breeze.
