PIERCE ASSAULT
Accuses Roosevelt of Violating
Law and Decency in the -Brownsville
Case.
PILES ADJECTIVES HIGH
Is of Spanish War Emergency
' Fund to Employ Detectives
Illegal Shooting Offer of
Inducements to Witnesses.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 32. A spirited
speech by Foraker of Oliio on the use
of private detectives In Investigating the
Brownsville affair was the feature In the
Senate today. Foraker laid aside his
manuscript several times during his ad
dress to Inject remarks that were pointed
ly al.-nd at the President, although he
refrained from the mention of Mr. Roose
velt s name. Evidently referring to the
President, he declared that men who
made charges and Insinuations would
some time ' be where they can be called
lo account."
Lodge replied to Koraker's remarks, de
claring thut the use of the 3.0u0.uO fund
appropriated In 1S. as an emergency war
fund for Uie President during the Spanish
War in the employment of the detectives
on the Brownsville case was not in viola
tion of the law.
Foraker endeavored to have a day fixed
for voting on his blil for the re-enlistment
of the discharged soldiers of the
Twvntv-fifth Infantry, but Warren, chap
man of the committee on military affairs.
Insisted upon postponing such an agree
ment until a future day.
The dUcu.'slon called out a large gather
ing that tilled the galleries to overflowing
and drew a considerable number of mem
bers of the House to the rear of the
chamber.
Never Ashamed of Letter. -
When Foraker commented on a state
ment of the detectives respecting a let
ter he had written to one of the dis
charged soldiers, he laid down his manu
script and with considerable vehemence
declared:
-I have doubtless written some let
ters needing explanation; I have doubt
less written some letters tffat I would
not have written If I had had all the
Information I got at some other time.
Hut I have never written any letters
since I left my mothers knee of which
I am ashamed or need any lying to
explain."
As he proceeded his voice grew more
and more Intense.
"If I have shown any undue leal In
commenting on this procedlng." he
said, glancing from his manuscript, "It
Is not through anger. But through that
Indignant resentment that every self
resnecting man feels who Is spied upon
by the Government he Is attempting to
serve. No language can completely de
scribe such a shameful performance. I
don-t exempt any one from that re
mark who Is connected with It from
the highest to the lowest."
Shocked and Horrified.
Commenting on the report of Her
bert J. Browne, who had charge of the
investigation by detectives. Foraker
declared that he had been shocked and
liorried when he read those state
ments. -I wish." he said, his voice resound
ing throughout the chamber, "some
body else who prates about the dishon
esty or other people (evidently mean
ing the President could be shocked
and horrified."
Foraker read a number of affidavits
hy negro ex-soldiers whose confessions
Browne had secured, all denying every
statement of importance made by the
detectives. He declared that use of
part of the $3,000,000 Spanish war fund
for the purpose of employing detec
tives was Illegal and that no annual
Itemized report of the expenditure of
this fund had been made, as the law
required. Even granting that the ex
penditures were nt Illegal on that
ground, they were In flat violation of
the law prohibiting the employment
hy the Government of employes of the
Plnkerton and similar detective agen
cies. He went on to say:
"It Is Impossible to lind language with
which to fittingly characterize such a
procedure as this detective business has
been from Its lncipiency down to the
monstrous stages it has reached. It Is
atrocious, revolting, shocking to every
sense of fairness, justice and even com
mon decency."
Reward for Testimony.
lie, twitted the President with having
employed detectives because -ie felt the
necessity of bolstering up his case and
was determined to do so. He denounced
the method used to secure testimony,
saying It could not be "fittingly charac
terlzed without the use of language which
might appear disrespectful to the Chief
Executive." Worst of all, he had com
mitted the serious offense of holding out
an Inducement or reward for giving tes
timony. He continued:
"It does not lessen the gravity -of
Ms offense that It appears to be Im
perceptible to him: or If not so, that
he has become utterly oblivious to all
restraints of law. decency and pro
priety In his mad pursuit of these hap
less victims of his Ill-considered ax
tlons.
"In mr opinion, aside from the ques
tion whether there has been a mis
appropriation of public funds, no prece
dent for anything so shocking can be
found In all the history of American
criminal Jurisprudence."
"Fraudulent Impersonation, misrepre
sentation, lying, deceit, treachery, liquor
and Intoxication, coupled with promises
of Immunity and the excitement of hope
and fear, and the offer 'of employment
at remunerative wages, have been resort
ed to to secure the testimony sought
for, and the so-called "confessions' are
not confined to such as affect the parties
making them or to those affected by
them who may be present when such con
fessions are made, but they extend also
to those not present when they are made,
and to those who were absent and with
out knowledge as to what is transpiring
and wtthout any opportunity whatever
to be heard In their own defense, even
to make an objection to such statements
and such confessions as are untruthful.
"These facts make all' such testimony
utterly Incompetent and worthless."
The Senate adopted Foraker-s resolu
tion calling on the Secretary of the Treas
ury for an Itemized statement of the ex
penditure of the J3.OW.000 appropriated
by act of March i. 1S&9, to be expended
at the direction of the President as an
emergency fund.

FISHY TANGLE DEVELOPS
Why Was Check for $100,000 Given
Fish-Packing Concern?
CHICAGO, Jan. 12. Whether a check
for JU00.W0 which enabled Philip Chan
cellor . to establish the Globe Packing
Company at Cleveland was high finance
or philanthropy on the part of A. Booth
& Co. could not be established definitely
at the Master In Chancery's hearing to
day. Receiver Chalmers is endeavoring to
discover what became of J6U0.O00 shown
to have been paid by A. Booth & Co., be
fore the failure, to their attorneys,
Thornton & Chancellor. Mr. Justice, of
the law firm, and a brother of Chancel
lor, who established the Globe Packing
Company, occupied the witness stand.
Philip Chancellor, a law clerk, accord
ing to the testimony, was given J100.000
to buy up several strugling fish houses,
out of which the Globe Packing Com
pany' developed. Chancellor received a
salary as manager of $15,000 and the
$100,000 became 6o per cent of the capital

Booth 4: Co., as sepurity for the loan.
Witness denied that the Globe concern
became part of A. Booth & Company's
alleged monopoly.

OTHER NATIONS UNNOTICED
Servla and Montenegro May Protest,
but War Is Averted.
VIENNA. Jan. IZ-It Is felt here that
the settlement reached between Austria
Hungary and Turkey may have an Irri
tating effect on the other countries con
cerned in the near-Bast difficulty.
According to reports that have come
to Vienna, Servla and Montenegro resent
the fact that they were not considered in
the arrangement and they may be ex
pected to raise objections. But the agree
ment between the two principal powers
has made war a more remote possibility
than at any time since the annexation.
It Is believed war has now been averted.
The next care of the Austro-Hungarlan
government will be to rebuild the Austrian
trade In Turkey by the removal of the
boycott that led to Its collapse.
