SITS ON DALZELL
Refuses to Recognize Resolu
tion Presented by Com
mittee on Rules.
ARMY BILL IS TAKEN UP
fclayden of Texas Criticises Extrava
gance or -the Military Hamilton
of Iowa Gets in Argu
ment for Less Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The unusual
spectacle of tho committee on rules be
ing overruled by Its chairman, the Speak
er, on the floor of the House, was wit
nessed In that body today, much to tho
discomfiture of Dalzell, a member of the
committee. Dalzcll brought In a resolu
tion providing for an investigation of
peonage In the Southern States, but the
Speaker, on an objection by Mann of
Illinois, held It was not privileged. De
spite Dalzeil's argument, the Speaker re
fused to alter his decision and the reso
lution was recommitted.
The Army appropriation bill, carrying
J'5,007.d66. was taken up. After Hull of
Towa had explained its provisions. Slay
den of Texas criticised "the enormous
extravaganco of the military establish
ment," while Holiday of Indiana pleaded
for Increased pay for the enlisted men
of the Army.
Other speeches were delivered by Hamil
ton of Iowa, who favored tariff revision,
and by Washburn of Massachusetts In
favor of removing the restriction of the
Sherman anti-trust law regarding organ
izations of merchants in certain cases.
GAlLINGER'S SUBSIDY PLEA
Kcpeats Ills Annual Iamentation
Over Shipping Industry.
WASHINGTON'. Feb. 24. Ocean mail
nubsidy and currency legislation were
both the subjects of speeches in the Sen
ate today. Gallinger opened the debate
in favor of his bill for ocean mail sub
sidy to build up the American merchant
marine and was followed by Depcw, who
strongly approved the measure.
Simmons of North Carolina and White
of Maryland spoke In criticism of the
Aldrich currency bill, White announcing
that he would not vote for any measure
before the Senate. An hour was de
voted to the further consideration of the
bill to revise the criminal code.
Gallinger reviewed conditions under
which the merchant marine of this coun
try is operating and cited many advan
tages that he believed will accrue to
the commercial interests of the United
States if better mail serlvce to South
America and other points Is established.
"The bill raises no new Issues. Intro
duces no new principle," said Gal
linger. "It leaves existing and pros
pective steamship services exactly as
they are now and without changing one
iota the tried and approved methods of
the present law, increases the compensa
tion on routes which 16 years of experi
ence have conclusively proved to be in
adequatethe long, costly and important
routes to South America and the Orient,
the routes where our lack of steamship
service is severest and our need of such
service most imperative."
Only eight of the 15 ships that were ply
ing across the Pacific Ocean last March
are left, he said.
"Since the shipping bill or the last Con
gress was defeated almost one-half of
our feeble ' American-Pacific naval re
serve has disappeared." he added, "and
when Admiral Evans steers up through,
the Golden Gate from the Straits of Ma
gellan, we shall have the grotesque dis
proportion In the Pacific of two battle
ships to every commercial vessel en
gaged in foreign trade a sight which
has never yet been seen beneath the sun.
"And unless the new shipping bill is
speedily passed we shall sea an even more
grotesque proportion than that 16 bat
tleships and not one commercial steamer
In the Paolllo away from the ports of the
United States. For the remnant of mer
chant marine In that mighty ocean Is
now facing the absolute extinction which
long since overtook our commercial fleet
on the routes to South America."
The passage of the bill, he predicted,
will revive the waning American marine
and all that the bill seeks can be accom
plished for 4.000.000 a year. It would
strengthen the Pacific lines and create
new lines to the Southern Hemisphere. It
would, he said, promptly establish a line
from the Atlantic Coast to Brazil and
another to Argentina, a line from the
South Atlantic or Gulf Coast to South
America, and similar communication to
the Pacific Ocean.
The proposed payment for these advan
tages is about half the amount England
and France pay for their steamship serv
ice and less than is paid by Japan. Last
year tho United States marie a profit of
j"..600,noo on Its carriage of foreign mails,
and he hoped to have at least that
amount devoted to building up the 'or
elgn mall service.
"In view of these facts." he said, "need
we wonder that In spite of the Monroe
Doctrine we are being shouldered out of
the South American republics by other
people whose governments undrstand the
' relations between ships and trade? Great
Britain. France, Germany, Italy and,
Spain have long had their own steamship
lines to South Americnn markets. Japan
had no sooner closed her victorious war
with Russia than she subsidized Into ex
istence a Steamship line across the Pa-'
cltic to Peru and Chile, and our Consuls
note that- this is about to be extended to
Argentina and Brazil. "What a mockery
of fate it is that the people of a hermit
nation, which the United States 60 years
ago first opened and introduced to the
modern world, should now be able to
boast better, more regular and more di
rect shipping facilities than America.
Tho most smarting and humiliating epi
sode of the entire year Is tho revelation
which the great battleship fleet is bring
ing out around South America."
More ttian 3ft new and powerful steam
ships available as auxiliaries of war
would be built by the Influence of the bill
If passed, he said. The proposed legisla
tion would also, he said, help to break up
the shipping trust In South America..
S. P. WANTS MOXEY BACK
Bill in Congress to Reimburse Cost
of Dam In Colorado.
WASHINGTON, Feb. SI. Representa
tives of the Southern Pacific Company
today appeared before the House com
mittee on claims in behalf of that cor
poration's claim of $1,663,136 as reimburse
ment for the cost of closing and con
trolling the break In the Colorado River
December 1. 1906, to November 30. 1907.
which threatened the inundation of the
Imperial Valley In California and the de
struction of vast crops. This work was
performed by, iia Southern Pacific at
the request of President Roosevelt, made
directly to President K. H. Harriman.
The committee has requested the Rec
lamation Bureau, under whose general
supervision the break was closed and the
Colorado River returned to its channel,
to supply full information respecting the
claim. Meantime no action will be taken.
A bill for the reimbursement of the
Southern Pacific has been introduced by
Representative Smith, of California.
Indians Get Money.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. In an opin
ion by Justice Holmes, the Supreme
Court of the United States today de
cided the case of the Sisseton and Wah
peton bands of Sioux Indians against
the United States favorably to the In
dians. The Indians claimed a large
eum of money growing out of a treaty
with them in 1851, under which the
Government agreed to pay them for 60
years an annuity of $73,600 in addition
to the 1305.000 cash paid at the time.
The payments were regularly made
until the Sioux outbreak of 1862, when,
owing to the many atrocities commit
ted, the treaties were suspended. The
Court of Claims held that the Govern
ment was still Indebted to the Indians
for $788,971, which was today affirmed.
Glllctt Meets President,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Governor
Glllett, of California, was introduced
to the President today by Senators
Perkins and Flint. The Governor said
he had come to Washington to appear
before committees of Congress to urge
liberal appropriations for dredging the
Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers of
California.
Owing to the mining operations in
the mountains these rivers have been
gradually filling up, he said, until now
there is such a shallow channel for
navigation that nothing but light
draft vessels can make headway.
QUICK ACTION OF GUNNERS
SAVES MANY LIVES.
Explosion Averted by Instant Obedi
ence to Hurried Signal Given
by EJrst Ixiader.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24. An act
of heroism performed by three blue
Jackets on the United States cruiser
Maryland during the recent target
practice held at Magdalena Bay. was
all that prevented a repetition of the
Georgia disaster off the Massachusetts
coast . last year, when Lieutenant Good
rich, the son of Admiral Goodrich, and
13 of his shipmates, met death In the
explosion of one of the big guns.
It happened while the Maryland was
having her try at the Navy record.
After the second or third shot from
No. 4, one of the Maryland's eight
Inch guns, J. J. Donnelly, a seaman,
acting as first loader, discovered that
two balls of fire were spinning around
within the screw-box. Tills fire should
have gone out of the muzzle of the
gun but it had failed to do so.
Without the loss of a moment, Don
nelly hastily signalled J. C. King, the
hoisting man, to lower the ammunition
car Into the handling-room, and King,
with the assistance of J. Green, the
rammer man, complied with the for
mer's request upon the Instant.
Twenty-five seconds elapsed before the
fire In the screw-box was put out, but
in that brief time a great disaster was
averted and many men 'were saved
from death.
WAS MURDER, NOT SUICIDE
New York Police See Foul Play in
Death of Oella.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24. After exhaus
tive examination of the books of Cella
Bros, and the private papers of Glro
lamo Cella, the Italian wine Importer
whose body was found In his ware
house Sunday, Thomas H. Ward, As
sistant District Attorney, declared to
night that the case undoubtedly was
one of murder and not suicide, as two
letters apparently In the handwriting
of the merchant first seemed to indi
cate. The second letter, written In Italian
and tending to support the theory of
suicide, was found in the firm's safe to
night. It Is dated February 19. and la
such a letter as one In expectancy of
death would write. Both letters will
be submitted to the handwriting ex
perts with known specimens of Cella's
writing.
"There is no proof that the letters
are not genuine," said Mr. Ward tonight.
"But if they are. they do not prove
suicide. If they were written by Cella,
they were written under duress."
Mr. Ward, Coroner Harburger and
the police are agreed on the Identity
of the alleged murderer, though It is
admitted the case is not in shape to
permit of an arrest.
Dominico Cella. brother of Girolamo
Cella. and Girolamo Stephenson and Cae
sar Blanchl today were held without bail
to await an investigation In the cause of
the old man's death. In the office the
police found a letter signed by Girolamo
Cella, which said it was Impossible for
him to live longer "the life that I lead
In my home."
Dominico said he was passing the office
early yesterday when he noticed that
the padlock which usually secured the
door was not in Its place. He entered
and found his brother's body and at once
notified the policeman. Cella lived only
a few minutes after the policeman ar
rived. BULLET WOUNDS FOUND
Body of George A. Carklns Shows
Indications of Murder.
PORTSMOUTH. -N. H., Feb. 24. Two
bullet wounds In the back of the body of
George A. Carkins, which was exhumed
today by county officials following the
story told, by Mrs. Paul L. Roy, an opera
singer, that Carkins was murdered, were
disclosed by an Informal examination of
the body tonight. A formal autopsy will
be held tomorrow. Carkins was supposed
to have committed suicide by shooting at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Roy, or
Glacla Call a, as she is known on the
stage, on the evening of January 2. The
report of the medical referee confirmed
this story and the "body was buried with
out further Investigation.
A few days later Mrs. Roy Informed the
Rockingham County officials that it was
her belief that Carkins had been killed by
her husband during the course of a family
quarrel. The county officials attempted
to locate Roy but learned that he had left
the city, presumably for France.
Limit Number of Battleships.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. A petition
against the proposed increase of the
Navy by the proposed expenditure of
over $60,000,000 for four new battleships
was laid before the Senate today by
Senator Hale, chairman of the com
mittee on naval affairs. The petition Is
signed by Rev. Henry C. Potter, Bishop
of New York, and other clergymen who
desire the naval programme limited to
one battleship.
MORE WAR MONEY
Britain Continues to Increase
Military Expense.
ONLY ONE WAY TO REDUCE
Must Cut Garrisons Abroad, Says
Haldane Navy "Will Be Kept Up
to Two-Power Standard,
Despite the Cost.
LONDON, Feb. 24. The estimates
for the British defense forces for the
current year, which were Issued today,
will disappoint the peace party, for
Instead of showing a reduction, as It
had hoped, the combined estimates for
the army and navy show an increase
of $3,000,500, without apparently any
prospect of considerable diminution In
the future.
Lord Tweedmouth, First Lord of the
Admiralty, explains outright that the
future programme of Great Britain
will depend upon whether foreign
powers increase their naval forces,
since the government has every inten
tion of maintaining the standard of
the British navy, which hitherto has
been deemed necessary for the safe
guarding of imperial interests.
The War Secretary, Mr. Haldane.
says in a similar statement regarding
the army:
Looking to the future. I am convinced that
It is Impossible to make further dioiinu-,
tlona in the Army expenditures on a con
siderable scale unless we first reduce the
number of troops serving abroad. Garri
sons abroad will be reduced whenever that
can safely be don", but. If reductions in
the regular army are carried too far. de
mand will ultimately have to be made on
the citizen forces such as never has here
tofore been contemplated.
The army estimates for 1908-09 to
tal $154,183,120, and the War Secre
tary estimates for a total of 18D.000
men In the home and colonial estab
lishments, Irrespective of India, a de
crease of- 5000 men from last year.
The navy estimates total $161,697,500,
and provide for exactly the same num
ber of officers and men as last year.
Apart from the regular forces, the army
estimates include provision for imperial
grants for the Indian army, the terri
torial forces of the United Kingdom, the
volunteers, etc which with the regulars
make the grand total 799,610 men, as com
pared with 893,141 men in the preceding
year.
The navy estimates for 190S-09 amount
to $161,597,500, as against $157,087,500 for
1907-08. The agitation for economy has
had some effect on the shipbuilding pro
gramme which contemplates only one im
proved warship of the Dreadnaught type,
instead of the three expected. The govern
ment proposes to build one large armored
cruiser, six fast protected cruisers. 16
torpedo-boat destroyers and some subma
rines. The number of the last mentioned
vessels is not given, but they are esti
mated to cost 2.5DO,000. ,
In an explanatory statement. Lord
Tweedmouth, First Lord of the Ad
miralty, points out that an increase in
expenditure Is inevitable, but by the
strictest economy he was able to confine
it to $4,500,000. On April 1, next, the
British navy will have under construction
one unarmored cruiser, 10 torpedo-boat
destroyers. 20 torpedo-boats and eight
submarines.
SLAIN AND THROWN IN BAY
Body of San Francisco Woman la
Dashed Up by Tide.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24. The half
clad remains of a woman, which have
been Identified as those of Miss Honors
Murphy, were found on the .shore In
Stone's Shipyard at the foot of Broder
kk street this morning. There are no
marks of violence on the body. Nearby

In cash' and a bankbook showing a de
posit of $1000 in the Hlbernia Bank
was picked. up. apparently having beeh
washed in by the tide that brought the
victim shorewards.
Miss Murphy was a domestic em
ployed on Devlsadero street. The po
lice say the Indications are that she
was robbed and murdered. It would
also appear that her slayer went back
to the house where Bhe was employed
to search her room, for somebody en
tered the place several hours after the
dead body of Miss Murphy was discov
ered on the beach. This fact was as
certained by Mrs. S. W. Donald, who
employed the dead woman.
Miss Murphy had a sister and two
brothers in Stockton. Mrs. Peter Clark,
Michael Murphy and John R. Murphy.
The last two have arrived In this city
to take charge of the body.
HARTJE PLACED ON TRIAL
Charge of Conspiracy Against Him,
Hardware Dealer and Coachman.
PITTSBURG, Feb. 24. Augustus Hartje,
the millionaire paper manufacturer; John
L. Welshons, a hardware dealer and Clif
ford Hooe, a negro, formerly employed by
Hartje as a coachman and named as co
respondent In the famous divorce case In
stituted by Hartje against his wife, Mrs.
Mary Scott Hartje, were placed on trial
today in the Criminal Court charged with
conspiracy to blacken the character of
Mrs. Hartje. All the defendants were in
court, Hooe having been brought from
the Western Penitentiary, where he Is
serving a seven years' sentence for per
jury as a result of charges growing out
of the divorce suit. Iater Hooe waived
the right of appearing at the trial and
was excused by Judge MacFarland. Mrs.
Hartje was not in court.
There is one charge of conspiracy
against the defendants, one of suborna
tion of perjury and one of conspiracy and
subornation of perjury.
Attorney Morrow, attorney for Hartje,
asked the court for the privilege of con
solidating all of the charges so as to have
but one trial instead of three. Attorney
Robb, for the Commonwealth, acquiesced,
and the court made the order. Motions
to quash the charges of subornation ot
perjury and conspiracy were overruled.

Cuts Out Wireless Interference. .
SAN DIEGO, Cal.. Feb. 24. What is
known in wireless telegraphy as a "wave
tuner." a recent and costly appliance,
was installed at the Point Loma station
today. It is the only one of its kind on
the Pacific Coast. It can be so adjusted
as to eliminate Interference, and no mat
ter how many stations are operating, the
man at the Point Loma station can se

fliZIO NASI SENTENCED
ITALIAN SENATE KINDS EX
MINISTER GUILTY.
Only Has Few More Days to Stay In
Prison Roman Populace Ap
plauds Him. "
ROME. Feb. 24. The Senate, sitting as
a high court, after ten hours' deliberation
today convicted Nunzio Nasi. ex-Mlnlster
of Public Instruction, of embezzlement
from the State Treasury. It sentenced
him to 11 months and 20 days Imprison
ment and debarred him from holding pub.
11c office for four years and two months.
The punishment of Nasi is not so severe
as might appear, for the court found ex
tenuating circumstances and permitted
the imprisonment the accused had already
undergone to be subtracted from the sen
tence. This leaves only a few days for
him to serve in prison.
Nasi's secretary, Lombardo, who was
also on trial before the Senate, was ac
quitted for lack of evidence.
The ex-Minister was greatly distressed
at the verdict and exclaimed.:
"Even after condemnation I am like an
honest man."
On the announcement of the verdict
there was a boistrous demonstration on
the streets, several hundred persons cry
ing, "Long live Nasi."
The severest measures have been
adopted to preserve order in Sicily, Sig
nor Nasi being a Sicilian and very pop
ular with all his people.

outlined for the minister of the 'Methodist

Bible furnished the minister. Death came
and the burial took place yesterday. The
programme outlined by Mrs. Grass was

cruiser Tennessee: Henry Miller, of ine
West Virginia, and four other bluejackets
from the fleet now In the harbor visited
the ball last night and paid the regular
price of admission, which was $1. They
were quiet in manner and expected to
enjoy themselves in a quiet way.
The first hint that they were not en
tirely welcome was given when one of
the party politely asked a girl in evening
costume if he might have the pleasure of
dancing with her.
She looked him over from head to foot
before she snapped In answer:
"No! I wouldn't dance with you; you're
too conspicuous!"
Crestfallen, the suppressed tar retired
to the background. Seeing how he had
fared, one of his comrades stepped up to
a policeman who wore a star and asked
if they would be allowed to dance.
"Well, I don't know," he responded.
"There are . only respectable women in
the hall now. Tou fellows had better
wait until after 12 o'clock."
This was enough for the visiting sail
ors. They left the place angry and dis
gusted. This morning there are several
hundred bluejackets out in the bay dis
cussing the episode and wondering
whether that Bort of hospitality is to be
the rule or the exception.

DESIRE BELGIAN ACTION
OOXGO SITUATION TAKEN UP BY
HOUSE OF LORDS.
Lord Fltzmuurice Expresses Grati
fication at Co-operation of United
States In Securing Reforms.
LONDON, Feb. 24. In the course of the
debate In the House of Lorde today on the
Congo situation, Liord Fltzmaurlce, repre
senting the Foreign Office, pleaded for a
little more action on the part of the Bel
gian government. . He pointed out
the great difficulties, both international
and Belgian, that were in the way of a
sipeedy accomplishment of the reforms in
the Congo desired by everybody. The ne
gotiations between the Belgian Parlia
ment and King Leopold had now reached
a crisis, and it required time to adjust
the delicate points of difference. The
British government, the speaker Baid,
would not regard as satisfactory any
thing short of complete vindication of
both the treaty obligations and the claims
of humanity.
Lord Fltzmaurlce said the appeals made
by this country had received a marked
response from the United States. Contin
uing, he said:
"I regard the co-operation of the United
States as of the highest importance, not
merely, because of the Influence and
power of the United States, but the
United States could not, under any con
ceivable circumstances, be charged with
what Great Britain unfortunately has
been charged abroad, namely, purely self
ish ambition. The United States has no
ambition in Africa. They were among
the first to recognize the existence of the
International association of the Congo,
out of which the Congo Free State grew,
and If the United States co-operated as
they were co-operating with Great Brit
ain, that was a fact of first-rate Impor
tance." XogI Sympathizes With Stoessel.
