The Senate bill on the same subjeet
was not confined to railroads, but cov
tred nil forms of common-carriers, an1
fmllfver of Iowa, who had reported it
from the committee on education and
labor, sought to substitute it for the
House bill, hut his motion was de-ff-Hicil.
Numerous intendments were
offered, but all were voted down.
Provisions of Mill.
As passed the bill ts expected to
inert the objections of the 1'nll.ed
States Supreme Court to the common
carrier liability law of 1$yt. decided
to be unconstitutional by the court.
The bill abolishes the strict common
la w liability, which bars a recovery
for personal injury or death of an em
ploye occ asioned by the negligence of
a fHcw-ser ant. It also relaxes the
cum mo ti - la w rule w h ieh ma kes con -t

an cm pi nye to recover for an injury
caused by negligence of a co-employe.

though the injured one contributed .by
bis own negligence to the injury. The
& mount of the recovery is dim in Is tied
in the same degree with the negli

campaign contributions by railroad

tribution to the Republican party fund

Before 1ol 1 1 ver's motion to subst I
tutfl the Semite bill could he voted on,
Kl kins, cha irman of the commit tee on
Interstate commerce, insisted that he
had not ftad time to read the bill and
ssked thst It be referred to the com
mittee on judiciary. He thought the
measure should not be passed until
tomorrow, when I-a Follette could be
present, as the Senate bill had been
introduced by him. Teller joined In
asking that there be no undue baste.
.After further discussion the Senate de
cided to vote to proeeed with the con

THRU'13 AUK CAIGHI XAPPIXG
Hut Republicans Hold lowi House
by Applying lEocd's JEules.
WASHINGTON. April 9. Three times
today in the House the Democrats caught
the Republicans napping and forced them
to produce a quorum. On one other oc
cMsiou a vote by tellers disclosed the ab
sence of a quorum, but Speaker Cannon
peremptorily applied the Reed rule and
secured a quorum to be present. In doing
so. Cannon had a brief but lively clash
with Williams.
Notwithstanding repeated rollcails.
progress was made In the transaction of
publh- business. Roth the army and the
fortifications appropriation bills were
sent to conference; the Senate bill to in
crease the efficiency of the revenue cut
ter service was. with Democratic help,
passed, and the bill to promote the safe
transportation of Interstate commerce ex
plosives was considered. It will be finally
disposed of tomorrow.
The Democrats prevented the adoption
of the conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill and caused it to be
sent back to conference.
While the amendments to the army bill
were being read. Gaines, of Tennessee,
disregarding the rule, demanded to know
if there was to be any debate.
"No debate. sharply answered the
Speaker, bringing his gavel down with
several resounding whacks.
"I'll bet the tobacco trust is in there
all right." Gaine remarked, heatedly.
Just before the roll was called. Wil
liams engaged In a eoloquy with the
Speaker over the Interpretation of th
special rule applicable to the case. Dis
playing some Impatience with the mi
nority deader. Cannon declined to argue
the matter further, but said, amid. Repub
lican applnuse:
"The chair takes great pleasure In
sending to the gentleman the calendar.
In which will be found full information
on the subject."
Williams could not resist laughing and
went back to ltfs seat.
A motion by Sherman, of New York, to
recommit the Indian appropriation bill to
conference started the dally monotony of
divisions and rollcails. Williams was on
hand with his usual demand for the yeas
and nays, which, he facetiously remarked,
was made with the view of saving tfme.
Leader ray no challenged that assertion
and at the same time made the point of
no quorum. Against that motion. Wil
liams protested, saying the point was
dilatory. Cannon, however. ruled that
"the point of no quorum will get a more
speedy action."
"Oh." drawled Williams. "I guess that's
so."
The roll was called and the bill was
returned to conference. CnO to 3. the Dem
. rats all voting with the Republicans to
that end.
The reason for returning the hill to the
conference was that important changes
were necessary In the provisions for the
payment of the attorneys of the five
civilized tribes for services performed at
the preparation of their citizenship rolls.
The MM to increase the efficiency of
the revenue cutter sen Ice. among other
things, raises the pay and relative rank
of a number of officers. Increases the
pay of the enlisted force, and creates a
retired list.
CAXXOV REBUKES BOSS PATXE
Speaker ialls to Order Leader of His
Own Party.
WASHINGTON, April 9. A few mfnut
before tba House took a rece today.
Speaker Cannon and Payne, the majority
leader, engaged In a sharp exchange of
words. The Incident occurred in con
nection with the consideration of the bill
to promote the cafe transportation of ex
plosives. In the course of debate on that measure,
Williams severely criticised the action of
the Speaker in declaring a quorum present
when in fact, he said, a quorum was not
present. He waa declared out of order
on an objection by Sherman. Payne rose
and It soon became evident he was mak
ing remarks foreign to the bill. Shirley
fKy. promptly called him to order and
the speaker sustained Shirley, saying:
"The chair sustains the point of order,
but trusts that the gentleman from New
York will set a good example to the
House.' Whereupon the Democrats ap
plauded. Proceeding, with some embarrassment,
Payn said that, having ruled that he wae
out of order, it Was not necessary for
the Speaker to make any further Sug
gestion to him. He then began a speech in
favor of the bill, but the Speaker brought
his gavel down with great emphasis and
declared the House in recess under the
special rule. -

resolution introduced by SpeakerCannon,
requesting information as to what steps
have been taken t, prosecute the paper
parte today and was referred to bis as
sistant, Mr. Purdy. who has been charged
with the preparation of the reply.
It is understood that this reply will
ehow that the Department of Justice al
ready has taken the initial teps to bring

reason It will not be possible to supply

Bias hi Ruef Case.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 9. The third
trial of Tirey I. Ford on a charge of
bribing Supervisors in connection with
the granting of a trolley franchise in
this city to the United Railways, of
which Ford Is general counsel, was be
gun before Superior Judge Lawlor to
day. In the previous trials, one jury
disagreed and one brought In a verdict
of acquittal.
Of. 22 veniremen who were examined,
Assistant District Attorney O'Gara
challenged 15 for cause. ' Of the re
maining seven, five remain subject to
peremptory challenges, one was not on
the assessment roll and the only venire
man whom the defense challenged for
cause had first ald that In case of a
man who had previously been tried and
acquited he would entertain a certain
bias In his favor.
John D. Mansfield, employed at the
Denver & Rio Grande shops. In answer
to a question, said: "I think you are
prosecuting the wrong person. I have
thought so all the time."
"Who do you think are the right
people to prosecute?" Inquired Mr.
O'Gara, and Mr. Mansfield replied :
"The Supervisors, who accepted the
bribes."
Mansfield said he would put aside his
opinion and give the defendant a fair
trial, and was passed for the time.
Henry B. Randall, the-last to be ex
amined, flatly expressed the opinion
that he believed Ford was innocent and
was excused.
In the Ruef thial but one juror was
qualified, John Koneman, a grocer. He
served as a juror In the case of W. S.
Tevls against the editor and the pro
prietor of the Bulletin, but Judge Dool
ing permitted him to qualify subject to
peremptory challenge.
It Is quite certain that the jury will
not be secured this week. The majority
of the probable jurors are excused
after plainly stating that they have a
prejudice due to reading the news
papers. THE DAY'S DEATH RECORD

BURNED OFF CAPE HORN
Three Survivors of Ship Senall Tell
Her Fate.
PHILADELPHIA, April 9. Authen
tic information 4o show that the ship
Arthur Sen-all. which sailed from this
port for Seattle on April 3. 1907. with
a cargo of coal, was burned at sea, was
brought here today by George Baker,
one of the crew. Baker, who Is a
Hawaiian, and Charles Dixon and Sec
ond Mate Weinberg are. so far as
known, the only survivors. Baker
came here from New York, where he
arrived yesterday upon the German -Llovd
steamship Kron Princess
Cecllle. He says the Sewell was burned
shortly after rounding Cape Horn, the
coal having fired apparently by spon
taneous combustion.
The ship was in command of Cap
tain Gaffey and carried a crew of 26
men. Baker says that on the, night of
September 8 flames broke out in the
hold of the vessel and that Captain
Gaffey ordered the small boats
launched. While the starboard boat
was being lowered by Second Mate
Weinberg, assisted by Baker and
Dixon, the fastening broke and the
boat with three occupants drifted to
the southward In the darkness As
long as the three men could see the
fire grew brighter and there is little
ddubt that in a short time the vessel
was destroyed and the remainder of
the crew lost.
For two days the small boat drifted
about upon the ocean, having no com
pass or sail. A Norwegian steamer
bound for Callao from Newcastel, N.
W. S.. was finally sighted and she
picked up the three men. After a 4.
days' passage the steamer reached
Newcastle. Baker proceeded to Bremen
and secured employment on the North
German Lloyd steamship Kron Prln
zessln Cecilie. On the vessel's arrival
in New York Baker came to Philadel
phia. Baker was taken before United
States Shipping Commissioner Smith,
who confirmed his statements by docu
mentary evidence in the possesion of
the office.
