COMMITTEE OF ONE MIND
Campaign Committees Required to
Report Contributions to Clerk of
House Agitators May Pay
Thoir Own Expenses.
- WASHINGTON. April 21. The MeCall
campaign publicity hill today was
unanimously recommended to the
Houpe for paspajre by the committee on
election of President. Vice-President
and Representatives In Congress.
Though introduced by a Republican. It
had the undivided support of the Demo
cratic members of the committee, and
of National Publicity 1-aw Association.
It was tho subject of much spirited
discussion in the committee, and today's
action In recommending the bill for
passage, caused jubilation among the,
minority In the House and some sur
prlee on the Republican side, the Re
publican chairman of the committee,
Gaines, of West Virginia, having re
cently expressed opposition to some of
the provisions of the measure.
The bill provide that "all contribu
tions hereafter made to political cam
paign commltteee engaged In promotion
of the election of Representatives or
Delegates to the Congress of the Vnit
cd states, or of Presidential electors
at any election at which Representa
tives or Delegates shall be voted for
shall be reported by euch committees
to the clerk of the House of Represen
tatives." The bill was so amended that any
person may. in connection -with such
election, pay from his own private
funds for the purpose of Influencing or
controlling In two or more states the
result of an election at which Repre
sentatives in Congress are to be elected,
and his traveling expenses. A provi
sion allowing him to pay "for writing,
printing and circulating any letter, cir
cular or other publication whereby lie
may state his position or views ujfn
any question." was stricken out. He
may. however, pay for stationery and
postage, and for telegraph and tele
phone service, without being subject
to the provisions of the act.
The clause providing "that nothing
in this act shall apply to any commit
tee or organization for the discussion
or advancement of political questions
or principles without connection with
any such election," also was stricken
out.

soldiers, some of whom' he claimed as
comrades, Warner of Missouri in the Sen
ate today declared his conviction that the
town of Brownsville. Texas, had been shot
up by negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry in 1906. Warner quoted exten
sively from the testimony taken in the
Brownsville case, and presented an argu
ment to sustain his belief in the guilt of
the negro soldiers.
Without concluding his remarks, which
he will resume tomorrow, Warner gave
way for the naval appropriation bill,
which was read in part.
The Senate adopted the conference re
port on the Indian appropriation bill.
Warner quoted freely throughout hia
discourse from testimony taken in the
several Investigations of the charges that
the soldiers shot up the town.
"It is to be regretted." he said, "that a
studious and systematic effort has been
made to arouse the race feeliner of the
negroes of the country against the Presi
dent because 'of his action with reference
to these companies. It Is incredible to me
that, any man white or blackshould
have the hardihood to charge thati the
President, in issuing the order discharg
ing those soldiers, was Influenced against
them because of their color."
Paying a glowing tribute to the valor of
negro soldiers at various critical momenta
In the-wars of the Nation, Mr. Warner
Insisted that he had not shared the feel
ing of criticism against the Administra
tion for having ordered the negro troops
to Brownsville. Ho endeavored, he said,
to weieh the evidence in this case with a
view of doing even-handed justice, and he
said, "guided by this rule. I am driven
to the conclusion that members of those
companies whose Identity has not been
shown made the midnight assault on the
sleeping and helpless citizen" of Browns
ville. "To continue these soldiers in the serv
ice with the stain of that crime resting
upon them, would have been criminal,"
declared Mr. Warner. "No community
in which they might be stationed would
feci secure. They would be feared as a
menace.
"While it is to be regretted that some
of the battalion, who, in all probability,
were guiltless, came within the order,
yet better this than that a band of law
less raiders should continue to wear the
uniform of United States soldiers."
While there was special motive for the
negroes to shoot up the town, there was.
the Senator insisted, an absence of such
motive on the part of anyone else. The
people whose houses were shot up were
the people whose attitude toward the sol
diers was known to be hostile. There waa
direct evidence that the shooting was
done by the soldiers.

USED IN POLITICS
T. J. Ryan Explains $500,000
Item in Ferry Deal.
COIN PAID TO POLITICIANS
Traction Magnate Tells Grand Jury
He Thinks .Money Probably Was
Spent In the Preliminary
Campaign of 1899.
aEWYORK, April 21. Part of the
1510.000 involved in the Wall and Cort-land-Btreet
FrrriB Company deal,
which has been under Investigation by
a grand Jury for several months, may
have been used, In the campaign which
preceded the Presidential election In
1900. icenrdinfr to testimony before tho
jury by Thomas J. Ryan.
Portions of the testimony were filed
with the Clerk of the Supreme Court
today by order of Justice Dowling.
From this It appears that when Mr.
Ryan was questioned about contribu
tions for campaign pnrposes. and par
ticularly regarding the payment of
nearly $1.000.0."0 by the Metropolitan
Company for the Wall and Cortland
street franchises and the subsequent
payment of several hundred dollars of
this amount to Mr. Ryan and some of
his associates, he made the following
explanation:
"It may not have been for the elec
tion of 1900. but during the Fall or
Winter of 1899 there had been a pre
liminary campaign going on. It was
thought perhaps Bryan could be de
feated In Kansas City, but it was a
foregone conclusion that McKinley
would be renominated, and part of the
mopey may have gone for that."
In a signed statement given out Inst
night. Mr. Ryan said the money repaid
to him and his associates following the
Wall and Cortland street franchise
was the precise amount, with interest,
which had been advanced by Messrs.
Polan. Whitney. Ryan. Widener and
Klkin. to cover expenditures which
had been made for the benefit- of the
property. Replying to a question by
Mr. Jerome regarding campaign con
tribution In general, Mr. Ryan replied:
"1 have always found political par
ties in a receptive mood. We are al
ways informed when an election is
coming."

He had their first sample of "George Ade

The verdict on the play wae indecisive;
the Americana were enthusiastic, but the

puzzled by turns. The management pro
vided a glossary of George Ade slang
with the programmes, but much of the
dialogue, particularly the college slang,
was Greek to the English contingent.

O'CONNORS F0UND GUILTY
Convicted of Using Mails to Defraud
Stock Gamblers.
NEW YORK. April 21. Thomas O'Con
ner "and his wife, Frances O'Conner, also
known as Frances Mclain. were found
guilty today by a jury in the United
States Circuit Court on two counts of an
indictment charging them with using the
mails to defraud. Judge Holrt sentenced
O'Conner to 15 months in Clinton prison
and suspended sentence on Mrs. O'Conner.
The O'Conners were charged with send
ing circulars throughout the country by
mail saying that they had inside informa
tion on the stock market and could so ad
vise clients that the latter could not fail
to reap big profits in speculations.
' Mrs. O'Conner, under the name of Fran
ces Mclain, posed as the possessor of
the '"inside informaatlon" and suggested
certain so-called stock brokerage firms as
reliable and the bent able to handle the
business of clients. The "brokerage firms"
were shown during the trial to be con
ducted by O'Conner under various names.
They invariably either closed out the
deals of victims at a loss to the latter or
else "failed" when the demands for pay
ments of profits became too Insistent.
TUCKER SCORES ONCE MORE

moter, who has been Indicted for using

last year placed In the hands of a re
ceiver after over $1,000,000 worth of

ADMITS . HIS PREJUDICE
Judge Cook Asks to Be Excused
From Trying Bank-Wreckers.

perior Judge Cook said in open court
this morning that while he might be
able to stifle his personal feelings in
trying J. Dalzell Brown. W. J. Bart

less control over hia emotions. There

from an interior county to preside
over the California Safe Deposit cases,
while he would hold night sessions In
the general criminal trials. Judge
Cook lost $3000 in the bank failure.
