ASSAILS UNCLE
1 JOE'S AUTOCRACY
Shackleford Gets Eloquent on
v "Despotism of a
Monarchy."
CANNON. SIMPLY LAUGHS
Does Sot Mind the Appellation of
."Ablest, Boldest Champion of
Autocracy This Age Has Pro
duced" Xbr Other Sayings.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24 An attack on
the power of ' the Speaker was made In
the House of Representatives today by
Mr. Shackelford, of- Missouri, . during the
consideration of the urgent deficiency ap
propriation bill. He said Speaker Cannon
was the "ablest, boldest champion of
autocracy this age had produced," and
declared that the Speaker "exercised a
greater despotism than exists in any
monarchy in Kurope."
Speaker Cannon, at this juncture, en
tered the chamber, and amid applause
. took a seat in front of Mr. Shackelford,
who asserted that before any bill could
pass "you must bend your noble bodies
forward in proper pose, fold your hands,
and say, 'Oh Lord, Uncle Joe, thy will
be done and not mine.' "
He challenged Speaker Cannon "to rise
in his place, not a Speaker, but a member
of the Illinois delegation, and tell us how
and when it was he shouldered the re
sponsibility for the legislation that was to
be here enacted by simply becoming mod
' erator of this deliberative assembly."
Speaker Cannon laughed.
Mr. Shalelford protested against the
policy of "one-man power as In violation
of the law," and urged the members "to
break down this autocracy that rules In
order that the people's representatives
may do the things they want done."
ATTITUDE TOWARD PARKER
Hitchcock of Nebraska Speaks at
Length on Bryan for President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. While the
urftent deficiency appropriation bill was
under consideration In the House today
Mr. Hitchcock, of Nebraska, delivered
a political speech, in the course of which
ho attacked certain statements of Gen
eral C. H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, regarding
the political outlook. His remarks were
devoted mainly to a plea for W. J. Bryan
for President.
He spoke of the candidacy of Judge
Parker and declared that It was not a
case In which his personal strength was
put to a test.
"His weakness," he said, "was the
weakness of the reactionary the weak
ness of the general who was leading
toward the rear and not toward the
front."
Conspiracy Against Judge Parker.
In order to hurt Mr. Bryan his enemies
had used letters written before Judge
Parker's nomination, said Mr. Hitchcock,
but no one had pretended that Mr. Bryan
had not loyally supported Judge Parker.
He declared that Bryan received 130.000
more votes in Ohio In 1900 than Parker
received in 11W4. notwithstanding Bryan
had as his opponent the popular Ohio
President. William McKlnley, and added
that while Judse Parker was a New
Yorker, he polled only about the same
vote In New York that Bryan polled.
"There seems," he said, "to be a sys
tematic conspiracy in high places among
Republicans posing sometimes as the
friends of the Democratic party to mis
represent and distort the facts regarding
lr. Bryan's attitude toward Judge
Parker.
"Bryanlsm," he added. "Instead of be
ing the bane of the Democratic party, is
its strength for the present and hope for
the future."
Charges of Senator Foraker.
Mr. Hitchcock becamo involved In an
animated discussion with General Kelfer.
of Ohio, as to the accuracy of the figures
of General Grosvenor. Mr. James, of
Kentucky, interrupted with the statement
that he hnd seen it charged that Senator
Koraker- said that President Roosevelt
"wns prostituting the selection of officers
under the Federal Government for the
purpose of beating him out of Ohio and
giving It to Tuft. Is that true or false?"
General Kotfer's response was that he
was not responsible for what was said in
tlte newspapers. Continuing, Mr. Keifer
declared -his surprise over the circum
stances that the Demot'ratic members
applauded mention of the fact that in the
two campaigns of Bryan that gentleman
ran ahead of Judge Parker, whom he re
ferred to as "the poor old Judge."
POISONS SHORTEN OUR LIVES
Wiley Tells Effect of Drugged Food.
New Dye for Fruit.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. Dr.' H. W.
Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry
of the Department of Agriculture, re
ported today to the House committee on

conducted by the bureau to determine the
poisonous effect on the human system of
such drugs as borax, benzoic acid, ben
zoate of soda, sulphate of copper, sulphur
dioxide, formaldehyde and salicylic acid
when contained in foodstuffs.
Dr. Wiley said that the expulsion of
those ad kindred drugs from the body
Is performed almost entirely by the kid
neys, and that ho is satisfied the term of
American life would be lengthened if the
use of such druss in foods were wholly
discontinued. He said he was convinced
that kidney disease, so prevalent among
Americans, is partly the result of con
stant Introduction into the system of such
preservative substances aa benzoate of
soda carried ltvoods.
Discussing sulphur dioxide and Its in
jurious effects. Dr. Wiley told the com
mittee of a discovery Just made by him
that salt solution is r perfect substitute
for sulphur in the whitening and drying
of fruit.
The committee was informed by Dr.
Wiley that he had been teaching the
, farmers the uses of denatured alcohol and
how to make it. Next August he pur
poses to erect and operate a still at the
Bureau of Chemistry, producing dena
tured alcohol dully from damaged fruit
und vegetable substances such as can be
bought cheaply in the market. He has
Invited each agricuiaural college .lo send
a representative to Washington to
observe his still and master the process
of distillation.
"Denatured alcohol." said Dr. Wiley,
"can be manufactured from farm waste,
and the farmers ought to avail them
selves of the new, law permitting It to be
made without imposition of revenue tax.

Gin OFFICES BURNED OUT
PORTLAND, ME.. SUFFERS A
$1,000,000 FIRE.
Destruction of City Hall Includes
County Records Coolness ol
Pythian Prevents Panic.
PORTLAND, Maine, Jan. 24 A fire
which caused a property damage of $1,
000.000, with only $81,000 insurance,
early today destroyed the City Hall
and police buildings and endangered the
lives of more than 700 persons. Although
known as City Hall, the building was di
vided between city and county offices,
while the police building sheltered the
Supreme. Judicial and Municipal Courts,
In addition to the police department. The
fire was the worst in the state since the
great Portland conflagration of 1866, when
the city's business and residential sections
were almost completely wiped out. ,
There were more than 700 persons at
tending the Western Maine Knights of
Pythias Jubilee, gathered in the audito
rium of the City Hall. Only a few per
sons were hurt, including Chief Engineer
Melville Bldridge, who was hit In the
stomach by a hose coupling.
The financial loss is estimated at $1,000,
000, but this sum will not cover the loss
of probate, where everything was de
stroyed. The records of the Register of
Deeds were not burned. Other de
partments were swept clear of every
thing by the flames, with the ex
ception of the City Clerk's and City
Treasurer's office, the money and securi
ties In the , latter being believed to be
intact. One of the most valuable li
braries in the state, the Greenleaf law
collection, was destroyed, with a loss es
timated at $10,000.
The blaze originated in the City Elec
trician office and was caused by crossed
wires, and this made it impossible to ring
a fire -call, and one company and a few
others, summoned by telephone consti
tuted the -whole fire-flghtlng force for
half an hour, during which time the
flames gained such headway as to become
uncontrollable.
When the flames were discovered, Wil
liam" A. Turner, chairman of the meeting
of the Pythian body, was made acquaint
ed with the condition of affairs. Inter
rupting the rites of investiture which
were going on, he calmly told the assem
bled members of the fire and thus avert
ed a panic, bringing out more than 700
persons uninjured.
Earlier in the evening, there had been
more than 1500 people in the auditorium
for the jubilee exercises and had the
fire occurred then, packed as the hall
was, many lives might have been lost.
When the flames climbed to the police
building, where the County Jail Is lo
cated, the prisoners were set free. They
had' been arrested for only minor of
fenses. The building, which was a five
story structure, burned -up and down
from the third floor, as did the hall. Aid
was summoned from Bath. Biddeford,
Sace and Lewiston. but the last-named
was the only city to get its apparatus Id
tiie city before daylight. When it arrived,
it' was too late to' take an active part in
the tight against the flames.
The City Hall survived the great fire
of 1866, although it was badly damaged
at that time.

FRAUD BROUGHT TO LIGHT
.
Man Leaves Clothes on Beach and
Goes to America Insurance Paid.
.LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24. William
Watson, English pottery manufactur,
arrested by the police here yesterday,
charged with defrauding an insurance
company out of $6000, which the com
pany paid upon alleged proof of Wat
son's death, will not be extradited.
It la said that the Insurance company
has Watson's confession in its posses
sion, and it may be able to realize the
loss from the proceeds of the estate
of his beneficiary, who haa just died.
According to Watson's alleged con
fession, he left a suit of clothing on
the beach at Norm Sunderland, Eng
land, late in the year 1906, after which
he boarded a train for the south. He
went to Paris from London, then re
turned and finally came to Quebec,

confession, after borrowing consider
able money from Mrs. Helen Lampert,
he had his life Insured for $5003 in her
favor, and took out an additional policy
for $1000 in his wife's name, then con
cocted the plan of leaving tho clothing
