SENATE BITTER Ifl DISCUSSING BRYAN Bristow, His Resolution De feated, Insists on Being Heard in Criticism. COUNTER-CHARGE IS MADE .Ashurst Says Kansan Was Glad In 1906 to Give Part Time to Fed eral Joh Townsend Calls Example Unwholesome. WASHINGTON. July 18. Secretary Bryan's policy of lecturing In his va cation time Involved the Senate In a bitter controversy today. It began when Senator Bristow, ignoring the defeat of his resolution directed at Mr. Bryan's action, insisted on being heard In severe criticism of the Cabinet of ficer. Before the debate ended charges and countercharges between Senators on the two sides of the chamber had brought the Senate to a high pitch of excitement. Senator Ashurst pro duced an old letter of Senator Brls tow's which he declared Indicated that Mr. Bristow In 1906 had been perfectly willing to take a Federal position and devote only part of his time to it. Brlatovr Aecnaea Ashurst. Senator Bristow retorted with the charge that Senator Ashurst had spent more than $100 of public funds sending private telegrams that should have been paid for from his own pocket, a charge denied by Senator Ashurst, but which Senator Bristow agreed to prove by producing original telegrams that had been paid for out of the Senate funds. From these personal accusations the" debate went into the general field of public lecturing and writing, and Dem ocratic Senators called attention to the Chautauqua platform work of Sen ator Bristow and many others, and to the newspaper writing that Senator Bristow had done at the last Baltimore convention. The Kansas Senator emphactlcally declared that he never had neglected the duties of his office. "I am not on trial here," he said. "I simply want to show that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones," said Senator James. Bryan Stronger Criticised. Senators Bristow, Townsend, ' Fall and others attacked In strong language the action of Secretary Bryan in de livering paid lectures at a time when, they contended, public questions re quired his close attention to the af fairs of the State Department. The Bristow resolution introduced Tuegday calling on President Wilson to say what salary would be sufficient to secure all of Secretary Bryan's time was tabled by a vote of 41 to 29 as soon as it came up today, all the Demo crats and Senators Borah and Foin dexter opposing it. A prepared attack on Secretary Bryan's action by Senator Townsend and an extensive defense by Senator Lewis Illumined the 'oratory of the day Senator Townsend - insisted .'the- ex ample of the Secretary in... selling his time for private gain, when it already had been sold to the Government was unwholesome for the entire country. "The question is simply this, whether, under the circumstances it is the duty of the citizen and the publio servant to modify his style of living to bring it within his legitimate income, or wheth er it is his privilege to resell his serv ices in order to cover the cost of the etyla of living he has adopted," said Senator Townsend. BRTAX TO LECTURE SUNDAY Secretary Expects to Xet About $250 From Each Engagement. WASHINGTON, Juiy 18. Secretary Bryan talked freely with the newspa permen today about his much-discussed and criticised plan to pass his vacation on the lecture platform. He said he probably would make a little more than 260 on each lecture and added: "When I return 1 11 tell you Just how much 1 have made." Mr. Bryan will deliver his first lec ture before the Winona, Ind., Chau tauqua assembly Sunday afternoon. He will make as many additional lectures as time will permit before his return for his conference with Ambassador Wilson, now en route to Washington from Mexico City, to make the report to President Wilson and Secretary Bry an which probably will determine the future attitude of 'the United States toward the revolution-torn republic to the Bouth. The Secretary indicated that he was making the trip under his own aus pices and said he would not become president of the Winona Chautauqua until its reorganization, after its in debtedness had been liquidated. CARNEGIE CHANGES PLANS Administration of $10,000,000 Fund Transferred to Great Britain. LONDON, July 18. Andrew Carnegie has intrusted the Carnegie Dunferm line Trust with the administration of the Income from $10,000,000 of 5 per cent Steel bonds heretofore adminis tered by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. In a letter today the iron master says: "The transfer of administration to my motherland has not been made be cause the fund has not been wisely ad ministered in New York but be cause In the nature of things the con ditions which have enabled me to keep closely in touch with the fund soon must change. It is my duty to con sider trie future. Mr. Carnegie adds that the income of 1500.000 hitherto has been devoted to public libraries and church organi zations in the United Kingdom, but the Dunfermline Trust is to have full power to divert the fund "into the most beneficent uses for the good of me masses or ureat Britain and Ire land."

M'CORMICK. UNITY IDEA SCOUTED Medill McCormick Says Par ties Will Not Combine. NEW ALIGNMENT FORESEEN Former Chicago Publisher Insists Republicans Make Overtures Be cause They Fear Their Own Weakness in 1916. 'In the ultimate future there will be but two political parties. One will rep resent, the liberal element. One will represent the conservatives. The sentl. ment of the country Is divided sharply upon those Issues. Whether the surviv ing parties are called Republican, Democratic or Progressive is of little consequence. The principles they sianu ior wm De ine same. But I look for the name 'Progressive' to survive. It represents the spirit of the times." Thus Medill McCormick. famous member of a famous family, former publisher of the Chicago Tribune and one of the' most prominent Bull Moose leaders in the countrv. who 1k on a visit to Portland, summed up the pres ent political - situation in the country last nignt. "You hear a lot of talk about the amalgamation oX the Progressive and the Republican parties these days, but it comes principally from Republicans. The only Progressive who is advocating mat is aiunsey and tie has recruited no strength behind him. Hope of Unity Thought Dim.. "What hope is there for the Pro gressives in joining the Republicans? In all the states with which I am ac quainted the Republican organization Is In the hands of the ultra conserva tives. New England is controlled by such men as Dodge, Crane, Gallinger and their kind. Pennsylvania is in the hands of Penrose. In New York the Republican party is owned by Barnes, who imagines himself the sole con servator of the Constitution. In Ohio and Indiana the same set of Republi cans are running the machine. How can the Progressives and those who voted the Progressive ticket last Fall unite with the Republicans in those states? They would be delivering them selves into the hands of their enemies the stand patters. The Republicans are afraid of the Progressive strength and of their own weakness. We have had frequent over tures in Illinois in the last few months to 'come back' on a promise to make Roosevelt the Republican nominee for President in 1916." Mr. McCormick insists that he has retired from active newspaper work but nevertheless keeps in close touch with the newspaper situation. "The modern newspaper," he said, must be a public agent. It must per form a public service and merit the public confidence. Definite Policy Advocated. "I can't speak on this subject with out illustrating my point with con crete illustrations. Among the papers that are performing such public service are: "The New York Times, a paper with which I don't agree except on foreign affairs; the Philadelphia North Ameri can, a paper with which I agree, but which I consider too narrow; the Trib une, with which I am in agreement a large part of the time, and the Kansas City Star and Times, with which 1 nearly always agree. "Those papers from an editorial standpoint are definite in the enuncia tion of views and . policies. They are not afraid to have opinions. "So far as human prejudice permits they tell the news even if it tends to prove them in error." Here Mr. McCormick injected the opinion that the schools for journalism now conducted In connection with most of the universities have yet to prove their usefullness. . They may become valuable, he said, after the newspaper profession becomes standardized, but that time has not yet arrived. He also indulged in a moderate de fense of "yellow Journalism" as it is called, but not of the extremely yellow papers. He called attention to the fact that the London Times once was con sidered yellow and that that paper shocked the British public by scooping the British War office with a report on me oaiue or Waterloo.

With the submission today of the report of the majority members of the finance com mittee on the Under wood-Simmons tariff bill formal consideration of the measure was begun in the Senate, but it continued a few minutes only, due to the unavoidable absence of Chair man Simmons, detained In North Caro lina on account of death in his family. Senator Simmons will inaugurate the debate tomorrow with a speech setting forth the general views of the Demo cratic majority on the bill and the needs for tariff Tevlsion, Senator Cum mins served notice that he would speak on behalf of the minority and he might follow Senator Simmons tomorrow afternoon. " Senators Smoot and Burton plan to talk Monday. Gallina-er to Lead Minority. Republican Senators In conference today reaffirmed their support of Sen ator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, as their leader to assume charge of the tariff debate on- the floor for the mi nority and agreed to support requests of Republicans for record votes on amendments when desired. The majority report estimates that the pending bill effects a reduction of 27.64 per cent from the rates of the existing law. The report also shows that the bill as reported to the Senate-, provides rates 4.22 per cent lower than the Un derwood bill as it passed the House, and that from it, together with other Government receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1914, there will be an estimated surplus in the Government Treasury of 82,020,000. A salient feature of this bill, it is pointed out, is the large increase of imports to be admitted free of duty. Houite Amendment "Too Drastic." In analyzing its chaneea in the House administrative features of the bill, the committee "deemed the amendments of the House entirely too drastic" partic ularly those authorizing examination of books of foreign manufacturers, a per cent tariff discount on imports in American ships and other like-features which were stricken out. Reduction of the basic exemption from income taxes from 84000 as in the House bill to 83000 for unmarried persona and the rearrangement of this, the report comments upon as follows: While the amendment may make no wide difference in the volume of revenue derivable from the tax it is deemed equitable as recognizing the added obligations on account of mar riage and children and salutary as em phasizing the family - as the unit in our social structure.-:' . ... . ' . .... MILITIA BILL AGREED OH LUMP SUMS TO BE PAID FOR, NA TIONAL1 GUARD. State Organizations Will Be Taken Bodily Into Regular Army in Event of Need. WASHINGTON. July 18.

Chase, Adjutant-General of Colo rado: Brigadier - General James A. Drain, of the State of Washington, and lumbla National Guard. I The proposed new law would pro vide for the payment of militiamen by the National Government, payments to be made in lump sums to the state authorities and disbursed on reports by inspectors of the regular Army, tes tifying to the cqmplete efficiency of the militia to be paid. It would over come the efTect of a decision by Attorney-General Wickersham that the mil itia could not be used outside of the territorial limits of the United States. This is to be accomplished by main taining the militia in strict accordance with the regular Army organization and by transferring the organization bodily, officers and privates, into the regular Army in case of need.
