Defiance to Whole Senate
From tittle Fighter.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18. An acrid
exchange of words took place In the
Senate today between La Follette, who
was criticising; methods of that body in
the handling of appropriation bills,
and Penrose, chairman ot the commit
tee on postofflces and postroads, who
vai In charge of the postofflce bill,
which was passed, carrying appropria
tions of over $332,000,000. The. collo
quy was rendered almost tragic by the
angry tones and fierce attitude as
sumed by the Senator from Pennsyl
vania as he denounced the Senator
from Wisconsin, who stood quietly at
his place on the side of the chamber,
staring back at lils big antagonist.
La Follette Arraigns Senate.
- The day had begun by La Follette's
asking that the postofflce bill be al
lowed to go over until tomorrow, as it
had just been reported from the com
mittee and he had no time In which to
examine it. Penrose had resisted this
request, saying lie would explain all
amendments that had been suggested
by his committee. Penrose had moved
that the bill be taken up and it was laid
before the Senate, the Senator from
Wisconsin demanding the full reading
of the text of the bill. Later La Fol
lette severely arraigned the Senate for
permitting legislation to accumulate
until the last few days of the session,
when, he declared. Important bills were
rushed through with little or noime
for Senators to understand them.
"My observation is that these appropri
ation bills get in here about as late for
the long session as they do for the short
Mkn," eald La. Follette. "It seems to
be part of the system that these most
important legislative acts shall have lit
tle consideration."
Bills Unshed Through.
He charged that Important legislation
was placed on these measures and
passed when It could not pass as a sep
arate bill. He said also that the salary
Increase for the Judiciary, for the high
legislative offices and for the Vice Presi
dent and the Speaker of the House had
been put through In that way and In
e'.sted that committees unduly delayed
bills which might be reported earlier so
that the Senate would have more op
' portunlty to study them. He declared he
hoped the tariff bill would not be put
through on a greased runway.
"I do not see," lie continued, "that it
would be such a terrible calamity to the
country if the discussion of these bills
should carry some of them over to an
extra session. I know that, if appropria
tion bills are disposed of at this time,
there will not be any reorganization of
committees at this time and various lm
portant legislation, outside of appropria
tion bills ought to go over until another
session of Congress and a reorganization
cf committees.
Fe'nrose Castigates "Little Bob."
Penrose Interrupted to ask the Sen
ator from Wisconsin, "whether he was
delivering his regular lecture." adding
that he thousht he had heard It all be
fore. La Follette repl-d that observations
of that sort would not promote the pas
sage of the bill. He chlded the Senate
with having rut oft interstate commerce
legislation" for nine years and having, de
layed the pure food law for 17 by apply
ing the same methods against which he
was contending.
At this point Penrose arose and, with
violent angpr and glaring across the
chamber at the straight form of the
Senator from Wisconsin, said:
I shall not nit silent In my scat when
tnli'iiatcmenla are made or claptrap states
manship U attempted here. I charge that
the. Senator from Wisconsin has been on
the rommitfe on ce-.fus an.l during his
ervl-e on that committee, has tailed to
attend a Mngle meetinir of It. I make that
chance without any fear of contradiction.
He la on the committee on claims and has
only attended Its meetings once or twice
In all hia service, and that attendarce was
only to bring up ome trivial claim. i
maka this statement without fuar of con
tradiction that he la on the committee on
Tenslnns. which has one of the largest ap
propriation bills pending before Congress
every year, and has hardly ever been present
at tta meetings, according to the unanimous
testimony of nearly all of liia colleagues
on that committee. lie Is on the important
committee on Indian affairs, which every
vear considers a great appropriation bill.
and he has seldom or -never rendered any
service on it.
Compared to Medicine Vendor. .
"And he has been in the Senate dur
ing two years." Interrupted Gallinger.
Penrose continued:
There Is no Senator who has a greater
record for absenteeism than ne. it ill De
comes him to criticise these committees.
When he is here It is only to delay the
business of the senate, to hold up the
transactions of oublic business and to em
barrass those who, under their oatha of
office and the conscientious dlscnarge oz

(Special.) Effective economy was prac

of $101,091.69 was accomplished for the tax
payers of the s'tate. Appropriations ag

put out of business by the indefinite post

Beach, assisted by Bingham. Kay, Sin

a hard fight to secure an appropriation
of $6000 for an additional wing In addi

expenses. This was resisted vigorously
by Nottingham, chairman of the com
mittee on ways and means, which had
disallowed the $6000 item. He said the
establishment of a detention home at
Portland would relieve the conditions at
the Boys' and Girls' Society end would
dispense with the necessity of con

BERLIN, Feb. 18. (Special.) "Upon the
solution of the finance problem depends
the power and safety of the nation."
These words, spoken by Chancellor von
Buelow in an address delivered- before
the German Agricultural Association, sig
nalize the government's purpose to push
the fight for the finance bill with in
creased vlgtir, taken with the Chancel
lor's declaration that he Is likely to "re

They are thought to mean that Prince
von Buelow Is again restored to favor,
since It is Improbable that he would
make such a remark without the authori
zation of the Kaiser.
The forthcoming fight in the Reichstag
promises to assume an acutely critical
character, as every important feature of
Prince von BueloWs plan for increasing
the nation's 'revenue Is violently opposed
by one faction or another. On the other
hand, the steady increase In the annual

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. 18.
(Special.) Representative Davis, of
Multnomah, on the floor of the House
tonight called Editor Jackson, of the
Oregon Journal, the "biggest liar and
braggart In Oregon," and "a thing in
the form of a man." Jackson was in
the lobby at the time.
The sensation came when liepre
sentatives Jones of Polk and Lincoln,
demanded the name of the Multnomah
Representative who. according to the
Journal, said money was offered for
votes for the Indian war veterans' bill.
jiepresentatlves Brady, Davis, Altman,
Jaeger, Mahone. Couch and Orton de
nied that they had given out such a
statement. In their denials, so many of
the members used the expression "It

Then Representative Miller, of Jack

HILL LINES MAKE RETORT
Say Harrlman Refuses Equal Di
vision on Business via Spokane

to Great Xorthwest.
CHICAGO, Feb. 18. (Special.) Railroad
passenger representatives throughout the
country are greatly alarmed over the
possibilities of the fight between the Hill
and Harriinan interests' over the Port
land gateway and are heartily wishing
that these two railway giants had settled
their differences before the Commission
undertook to solve the problem. During
the hearing before Commissioner Prouty
today it developed that, if "the Commis
sion and the courts should decide that
the Hill Interests must open the Portland
gateway to business coming over the
Harriman lines and destined to Puget
Sound points, through rates and through
routes all over the United States 'stand
In danger of a wholesale rearrangement.
It also Interests railroad managers
deeply because of the possibility of the
Commission and the courts holding that
on passenger business railroads cannot
protect territory in which they have
spent millions In development work, but
must open their gateways to any railroad
which reaches them and accept the short
haul into their especial territory upon
any business, which may seek routes ad
verse to their interests.
Woodworth Says "You're Another
J. G. Woodworth, -traffic manager of
the Northern Pacific road, gave a, clear
Idea of the importance of the question
before the Commission by calling atten
tion to some of the gateways which are
kept closed, not a few of them being
closed by Harriman interests. For ex
ample, he showed that the Oregon Rail
road & Navigation Company will not Join
the Northern Pacific in equalizing, by the
way of Spokane and other gateways,
rates In effect between stations on Its
lines In Washington, Oregon and Idaho;
that this company does not permit the
Great Northern to make equal rates by
the way of Spokane, but demands divi
sions commensurate with the revenue It
would have derived on the longer haul
that the Union Pacific will not handle
by the way of junction points west of
the Missouri River at equal rates passen
