FfclU r.nr and Carter Have Word-Dnel nt Pt Iii Name of Theodore noosvlt- WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. Knmeshed la an apparently hopele tangle over the Joint resolution providing for the election of Called Slates senators by direct vote, tha Senate adjourned a few minutes before I o'clock today, not withstanding opposition by the cham pion of the measure. It had been hoped by friends of the resolution that a night session might be held aDd that at least a rote would be t&ken on the Sutherland amendment retaining the control of Senatorial elec tions la Congress. No progress waa made save that Rayner spoke In oppo sition to tha Sutherland pro-slon and Carter and Heybura spoke In support ef It. While Heyburn. the last speaker, was on the floor, several Senators lengaged In an active propaganda In favor of an agreement on a definite time for a vote, and the announcement waa made later that Heyburn was the only Sena tor whose assent to this arrangement had not been obtained. When he waa approached on the subject he declined. lirtbarn Prevent Vote. When Borah asked for unanimous agreement for a vote. Heyburn prompt ly objected. Because of the attitude of his colleague no course waa left to Borah except that of pressing the meas ure by asking the Senate to stay for a Bight session. Oalllnger moved an adjournment. The friends of the measure rallied and on rollcall voted the motion down. 44 to li. but when, a few minutes later. Nel son, who had waited patiently all day to get an opportunity to speak, made a pi.-a for a night's rest before begin ning, the objection to closing the ses sion faded away, adjournment coming soon afterward. It waa understood the election ques tion would be taken up early tomorrow. In -view of the fact that another order of business baa been arranged for 1:30 o'clock, there may be a change of pro gramme. Tart Cannot Help. President Taft waa appealed to for assistance In getting a night session on the resolution In tbe Interest of general business, but late la the day word came that he had ben unable to do any thing la that direction. At the close friends of the resolution were not so hopeful of getting a vote during the present session aa they had been. Itarner contended that even without the Sutherland provision, the Federal liovernment had the right to protect voters against fraud or Intimidation. lie. therefore, appealed to supporters of the original proposition not to bur den It with aa amendment which. like the pending proposition, would Imperil the success of the resolution Itself. Rayner contended that tha amend ment would have the effect of Inject ing a new provision Into the Constitu tion because, he said, election of Sen ators by the people la a eery different proposition from election by tha state legislatures. Inferences between Rayner and Carter terminated la a discussion of ei-Prealdent Roosevelt. Quoting from Mr. Roosevelt's Orand Rapids speech In advocacy of the principle Involved In trie Sutherland provision. Rayner ex pressed the opinion that Carter's views had been Influenced by those of the ex-President. Kooeevelt Learns JProm Carter. The suggestion apparently was meant to ba sarcastic, and replying. Carter aid: "Tha views of the ex-President are always powerful and persuasive, but In view of the fact that I expressed my pinion In a published speech long be fore he did. I think It probable that my speech may have contributed to his enlightenment on the subject. Kayner hoped that the Montana Sen ator would continue to enlighten the e x-President, because with "all of the ex-President's familiarity with every topic that has ever been advanced from t.ie creation of the universe. If there Is anything that he does not know any thing about, and on which he needs en lightenment from the Senator from Mon tana, it Is the constitution." Replying to an inquiry from Rayner, Carter declared that under the Consti tution aa It stands the Senate could go behind the returns concerning the elec tion of a Senator, while with the Con stitution chanced as Rayner would leave It. It could not do o. Stairs Supreme Over Suffrage. Rayner next turnedto Root's speech and undertook to convince the New Tork Senator that he had been wrong In saying that with the . Sutherland amendment Incorporated In the Con stitution. CongTess would have - the right to annul state laws and control the suffrage of the people. "The right of suffrage la In the states. he declared, ."and Congress cannot take It away except by consti tutional amendment. The state la the judge of the qualifications of Its elec tors and not the Federal Government, Therefore there is nothing to the Suth erland amendment. Rayner warned the Senate against any Interference with the franchise rvgulattona of the Southern states, whim Insnre the supremacy of the white race In the South. "It Is for your owu welfare and for the welfare of the Union." he said, "that the South should maintain her Institutions from the Invader's touch and that you should keep your hands off the pllUra of the temple- Carter followed with aa argument to prove that with a change In the man ner of senatorial elections, the Suth erland amendment was necessary to preserve the perpetuity of Congress Itself.

Who Is running Tammany Hall, anywayt Ciarn Why. you let me Ox up that other matter. Murphy Because I - used you aa a messenger boy once la no reason for you to think you are boss. 1 have agreed to send Sheehnn. Now there was really no loud public clamor for either of these men. The general public realised that the nomi nation would go to any man that Murphy miicht select. All they hoped tk.t hj mlihi forret himself, and name a man who would strengthen the party. There was a utile crow a i mmilr f urwumDS. booming Shepard. Sheehan was mentioned among a number or oiners. dui u.. active in public life had always been a David B. Hill man. and therefore anti Tammany. Ho was not regarded as having a show. But Murphy backed him. And here la the answer. It Is a foregone conclusion that the -.,,h-.v crowd" will build more tubes before long, either those planned by the city, or extensions to the existing line. And Murphy Is Interested In con tracts. Also the subway magnates came out for Sheehan. Therefore well. Murphy sunk Tammany's personal ais llke of Hill's old lieutenant, and threw the Legislature for him. The Pennsylvania Interests' and J. Sargent Cram went out to make trou ble. On the suriaca it jooaea nno -right in the caucus only and Murphy had no objection to that. But under the surface, there were other Influ ences at work. This brings us to the aforesaid Maurice Minion. He has shown him self to be a clever press agent, and somebody paid him liberally to bom bard the legislators-elect with litera ture, callng for a "rebuke to lam many. Also these same legislators were seen and argued with. The result was that wren the Legis lature met. IS Senatora and Assembly men signed a eastlron agreement that ehey would never under any circum stances vote for sneenan. Ana up to the present time they have kept their word. The strength of the revolt was not realised until It was -too late to do any work that would stop It- These men had signed, and It was Impossible to get them to back out. They were against Sheehan. and no arguments could change them. It la said, and undoubtedly with truth, that not one cent was spent In the way of bribe money In organising the revolt. Some of the "Insurgents' are men who honestly believe that the turning down of Shepard should be avenged; others have minor grievances; but the bulk of them are anti-Tammany men. who were won over to their present position by the convincing words of the skilful Mlnton. During the past few weeks this little band has been subjected to every pos sible kind of Inducement and Influence. except money, but they outwardly j stand as firm as on the opening day of the session. They have been bombarded with let ters ard telegrams, scored at mass meetings and cursed by leaders, but no one has offered them a cent. When I asked a well-known Tarn, many man why this was so. ho replied: -We would use a million or two mil lion. If that would end the fight. The fact la that we are afraid to offer any money, for fear we would be exposed. And the insurgents are afraid to take It. Also they tare afraid to vote for Sheehan for fear people would think they had taken It." On the surface, tha insurgents stand aa firm todsy as they ever did. pri vately It In learned that Xouc al their number are ready to bolt at the proper moment. They have given their word to Murphy that they will flop for Shehan at any time their votes will elect htm. But Sheehan needs IS insurgent votes. The four would-be traitors are ready to enter Into an agreement with the missing nine, but it Is up to Murphy to find them. Also their signatures must be secured before the quartet will go on record. It Is an Interesting fact that the men who have started the presc"nt political lire have tried of late to put It out. but vainly. The voice of J, Sargent Cram Is no longer heard as the voice of one crying out In the wilderness. Maurice Mlnton'a typewrter is silent, and there are long faces In the private offices of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The men who first cheered the bolters on are now pleading with them to "stop this foolishness, and be good." And many men who are the warmest friends of Bdward M. Shepard have gone on record as saying that Sheehan must be elected, "because he ,1s the choice of the majority of duly elected legislators." Tbe majority of the Insurgents would Ike to let go of the political bear's tall, but they are afraid to. No matter how pure their motives might be. they would go down in history as bribe takers. So, with tears In their eyes, they stick to their colors. There Is more sorrow than anger at Albany. The Tammany men are aorry that Murphy ever made a deal with the subway crowd. Oovernor Dlx Is aorry that his administration should be dis credited from the start; tha Pennsyl vania Railroad Is sorry that it ever consulted J. Sargent Cram, or ever thought he was a boss; Cram is sorry that he gave his friend. Murphy, a chance to show him up; Murphy is sorry that he did not have better stage manners at Albany; Mlnton Is sorry that he ever learned to play a typewriter; and the insurgents are sorry that they permitted themselves to be the monkeys who tried to pull a railroad's chestnuts out of the fire. But the Republicans? Why, they laugh, and laugh and laugh. D1X PROPOSED FOR SENATOR Sonie Stieehan Men Propose Com- promts -Leaders Say "No.' ALBANY. N. T.. Feb. 17. Governor Dlx's name was brought into tbe Sena torial contest today again, when It was reported that a quiet movement was un der way to put the Oovernor forward aa a compromise candidate. The long deadlock, with no apparent relief In sight, baa caused supporters of William F. 8heehan to say that they would gladly vote for a compromise candidate If they could be relieved of the caucus action. Organization leaders, however, say a party principle, that of majority rule, la at stake, and to give In to a minority opposition would have a bad effect on the party management.

PBKIN, Feb. 17. The Chinese Foreign Board declines to make a statement con cerning Russia's representations with regard to the III territory In Chinees) Turkestan, saying that a reply to M. Korotovlis. Russian minister to China, has not been determined upon. It is not doubted here, however, that China's surrender will be complete. It Is reported tbe Chinese are rankling under what are considered unfair clauaea In the Russo-Chlneso treaty of 1SS1 and oftentimes have not abided by ita conditions.- declaring their Interpretation of the treaty differed from that taken by the Russians. China Denounces Treaty. The Chinese Foreign Board recently Informed the Russian minister that it considered the treaty of lwa one-sided and Intended to denounce It after Feb ruary S, that being the termination of a decade, the treaty provding that it can be renounced at the end of any decade. Thereupon M. Korotovits presented to China a list of claims. Including demands for a delimitation of the frontier In two places where the boundary wis disputed. The Foreign Office, when pressed by the Russian Minister, replied It would discuss these points at a conference over a new treaty which China would propose. M. Korotovits then pointed out that the claims he presented re ferred to breaches In the present treaty, which had not yet expired. The foreign office, however, has not fur ther communicated with M. Korotovltz, who has repeatedly warned it that the St. Petersburg Government's pa tience will not last indefinitely. Chinese Play for Delay. The Chinese, not being sufficiently strong to cope either with arms or diplomatically with Russia, have In dulged in their customary procrastina tions, no member of the Government desiring to incur responsibility for a contest from which there could be but one issue. Therefore, as the regent la in sola authority, the reply to Russia will be his, but framed on the advice of tbe councillors. The Russian and Japanese legations here are regularly In consultation on the Russo-Chlnese situation. ' HOUSE WORK TIED UP MANN PREVENTS ACTION ON AVAR CLAIMS BY FILIBUSTER, Quorum Disappears and While Ab sentees Are Sought House Has Merry Time rn Talkfest. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. With only 11 legislative days remaining, the House of Representatives was held at a standstill today by a filibuster planned and con ducted by Mann of Illinois. It was private calendar day under the rules and the business in order waa the consideration of tha omnibua war claim bill, which already had been passed by the Senate. The bill largely affecta Southern claimants and the Democrats with the assistance of many Republicans, endeavored to pass It. At times tbe majority in favor of the bill waa aa high as 140. but Mann was opposed to the bill and by dilatory tactics succeeded in preventing action, although the House was in session from 10 A. M. until :SS o'clock tonight. At that hour the. advocates of the measure secured a recess until 11 A. M. tomorrow under the assumption that the legislative altting of today would be re sumed. It developed after this action, however, that they probably defeated their own purpose, for 11 o'clock now is the regular hour for meeting and it la believed Speaker Cannon will hold that tomorrow's sitting Is a new legislative day. If he is successful In maintaining this ruling, the omnibus claims bill is dead for this sesslson of Congress1. Today's filibuster waa largely a one man affair and one of the most remark able In the history of the House. At one time. In order to secure a quorum, the sergeant-at-arms was directed te arrest all abstentees. With assistants, that of ficial started In pursuit of the missing members. But before any arrests were made enough drifted into the chamber to make a quorum and further proceed ing!" under the order were dispensed w'th.

The Lion Special Man's Shoe $4.00 FOELKER TO HIS Funds Acquired After Race track Vote Were Wife's Aunt's, He Says. IMPERSONATION IS DENIED Sosinsky Only Coached Him for Bar Examinations, Says He Elder Says Hyde and Gardner Dis tributed Boodle Fund. NEW YORK, Feb. 17. Otto E. Foel ker underwent cross-examination by Max Steur today at the trial of State Senator Frank J. Gardner on a charge of bribery, and stood by hli etory that Foelker .offered him 112.000 to vote against the an tl -racetrack bill In 1908. "On the train Gardner aald to you: t will give you $2000 more than the other Senators are getting;,' didn t he?" he was asked. "Tes," answered Foelker. "And you did not ask him who the other Senators getting the money WIt?dld not interest roe." declared the witness. Foelker admitted that he bad not considered it his duty to report to the Senate or to the District Attorney an attempt to bribe for the reason "that he lacked corroboration." "Right after the vote on the race track bill." resumed Mr. Steur, "didn't you come Into funds?" No." shouted Foelker. Witness identified-a mortgage show ing that on May 14. 1908, he had made a loan of $20,000. but he explained that the money came out of the estate of his wife's aunt, Mrs. William Vi. Wat son. Soslnsky Only Coached Him. Further testimony brought --ut that Foelker haU given I7S to James Kadl gan. a partner of Ma Soslnsky, who coached him for his regent's examina tion, because Radigan "told me his of fice furniture was mortgaged and he owed his stenographer a month's sal ary." The witness denied that a man named James Ray had ever reproached him for voting for the Hart-Agnew bill, after he had "been liberally paid" by the other side. On re-direct examination. Foelker wore that Soslnsky, who la now in prison for impersonating others at re gent's examinations, had not imper sonated him, but had merely coached him. Thomas Maxwell, a private detective, testified that Gardner called him to his office In May, 1906. "Now," said Gardner, "I want you to gj over to see Floyd Adams. Tell Floyd to go up and see Foelker and tell him I'll give h'ra 125,000 to vote against the racetrack bill." Maxwell further swore that he de livered the message to Adams and, on Adams' failure to repeat it, went to sea Foelker himself. Elder Tells of Fund liaised. When Foelker left the stand, the state began calling witnesses who tes tified to Gardner's alleged attempt at bribery. The last examined was Rob ert Elder, Assistant District Attorney of Kings County (Brooklyn), whose origi nal testimony before the graft commit tee resulted In Gardner's Indictment.
