RODEY SPEHKS OUT
Corporations Opposejhe Joint
Statehood Bill.
PUBLIC WISH IS MUZZLED
Committee 31 cc tins Is Stirred by
Statements Alleging Persecution
and Suppression of People's
Opinion on Issue.
WASHINGTON, Jam 20. B. It. RoScy.
ex-Delegate to Congress from New Mex
ico, created a furore at today's hearing
on the joint statehood bill before the
House committee on territories by announcing-
"there have been intense per
secutions in Arizona. Special interests
have porpctrated outrageous and scandal
ous suppression o public opinion for the
last six months. Thousands favor Joint
statehood -who do not dare to say so."
The members of the Anti-Joint State
hood League who were in the committee
room united in a urotest against Ihe
statements, but, in response to the chorus
of "No," "No," from the Arlzonans,
Mr. Rodney declared that tho corporation
forces who are opjwslng the joint state
hood measure do not care to submit the
joint statehood proposition to the people
of Arizona.
Is Often Interrupted.
Rodey afforded -the. Democratic and
Ropublican members of the committee an
opportunity for a. final tilt. Mr. Rodey was
repeatedly interrupted by questions from
members of ttie committee and by heated
arguments designed to bring out the atti-.
tude of the administration on statehood.
Representative. Lloyd (Dem. Mo.) asked
Mr. Rodey if it were not true that the
President and Speaker of tho House were
forcing the joint statehood Issue- Mr.
Rodey aeked to bo excused from an
swering this' question, and Chairman
Hamilton (Rp. Mich.) intimated that the
Democrats were being forced by their or
ganization, to 6pn'o's6 the bill. Representa
tive Moon (Dem. Tenn,) interrupted tho
argument to -say:
"I object to the gentleman from Michi
gan and the-gentloman from Missouri hav
ing this fus hero when in private they
express opposite opinions."
i States Arc' Drained.
Mr. Rodey denied the system of tax
ation In both New Mexico and Arizona,
and said corporate Influences have been
draining both territories and holding
down their taxes. "Under- joint state
hood ho said the people of the Xwo
territories could unite and curb these
influences and prevent their public do
main from being stolen. He , .pro
nounced tho denunciation of tho Mexi
can population in New Mexico as ridic
ulous, and said the Mexicans were re
ligious and law-abiding, and .in no
sense a menace to the welfare of the
proposed state.
In answer to questions from-Representative
Moon, Mr. Rodey made a de
tailed statement of how corporate in
fluences get control of territorial gov
ernments -which are dominated by Fed
eral officeholders. He frankly said
that he and Delegate Smith and other
well-known men ride on railroad
passes and place themselves under ob
ligations to the companies. Under
statehood, ho said. Governors would be
responsible directly to the people, ana
the 'public demand for increased taxes
on corporate interests -would be re
spected for political reasons.
Mr. Rodey's speech closed the state
hood hearing before the House com
mittee: SHUTS OUT AMERICAN GOODS
New Russian Tariff Proliibitary to
Vs, Favorable to Germany.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20. A dispatch to tho
Record-Herald from Washington says: On
March 1 next the duties on machinery,
electrical supplies and other articles which
are shipped in large quantities from tho
United States to Russia will be taxed
nearly 100 per cent more than at present;
The duties arc to be raised for the pro
tection of American, German and other
manufacturers, who have been induced
to build factories and invest capital in
the Russian empire. This is the second
time that the Russian Government has
increased its import duties upon such
merchandise for the same reason, and
the ihanufacturers of the United States
are the principal sufferers.
Last year our direct expofts to Russia
were about $10,000,000, but our Indirect
exports through Hamburg and other Euro
pean markets were very much larger
Tho principal direct exports to Russia
last year were as follows: Agricultural
Implements. $3,812,705; copper, $3,223,945;
cotton goods, $5,510,147. There was also
a large quantity of iron and steel elec
trical supplies and other manufactures.
On March 1 the duties on all these ar
ticles will be raised 25 to 100 per cent,
which are practically prohibitory. Ger
man manufacturers of these same articles,
who are practically our only competitors,
will receive concessions of about one
half of the new duties under a reciprocity
treats recently made between the two
governments.
Germany agrees to admit agricultural
products from Russia at her minimum
rates of duty under this treaty. German
manufacturers of machinery, engines,
motors, copper wire, electrical supplies
and agricultural implements of all kinds
will have-a great advantage over Ameri
can manufacturers -who produce the same
things.
CRX OP GRAFT KILLS BILL
Moody Censured for Diverting Sup
ply Funds to Purchase Portrait.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (Special.)-Tho
cry of graft raised in tho Houso of Rep
resentatives this afternoon caused the de
feat of an amendment to an urgent defi
ciency bill appropriating $10,000 to supply
an express deficiency in the fund used for
the payment of transportation charges on
silver from the Subtreasury to trade cen
ters. The amendment "was proposed by
Generel Klcfer (Rep.) and was opposed by
Representatives Tawney (Minn.), Smith
(la.) and Hill (Conn.). Representative Hill
raised the point of order against It He
lost. Hill charged that the appropriation
-was a species of graft for the express
company. Smith joined him in the dec
laration that it was no longer necessary
for the Federal Government to continue
the appropriation, and that if the trans
portation of silver was not made so prof
itable tho coin would remain in circula
tion longer.
Representative Tawney expressed sur
prise that the representatives of the ex
press company were first to learn that
the committee on appropriatons had re
fused "to Insert this amendment in the
bill. He asserted that early In tho mornr
ing following the committee's action rep
resentatives of the express companies
personally urged upon members the ne
cessity for the appropriation. General
Kiefer sarcastically remarked that any
kind of a measure could be defeated when
the cry of graft was raised against It He
said be could not understand the consist
ency of those members opposing the meas
ure at this time, when tkey bad previ
ously' apjrYc it The amendment . tints
carried on a rising vote, but was lost oa
a vote by tellers, 74 to 70.
The purchase by Attorney-General
Moody of a large portrait of ex-Attorney-General
Knox for the Department of Jus
tice was again discussed. Chairman
Tawney read to the members the request
of Attorney-General Moody for an appro
priation of $2650. the exact cost of the por
trait to meet a deficiency "for necessary
expenditures, including telegraph, , fuel,
light, foreign postage, labor, repairs to
buildings, care of grounds, books of ref
erence and other necessaries directed by
the Attorney-GeneraL"
Chairman Tawney said that he would
favor an amendment to the existing laws
prohibiting heads of departments from
diverting approprations and providing a
penalty for conviction.
Representative Palmer then drew up an
amendment declaring a violation of the
law to be a misdemeanor, to be punished
by a fine of not less than $100 or impris
onment for not less than one month. He
announced he would push the amendment
later.
In repjlying to a question by Paggett
(Tenn.). Chairman Tawney said tho pur
chase of portraits had become a general
practice, but he did not 'Justify it
In defending that provision of the bill
providing for additional clerk hire for the
redemption of National banknotes, Gaines
(Tenn.) demanded clean money. He fa
vored the rapid settlement of this filthy,
rotten, disease-breeding money.
Littlefield became quite Jocular in defin
ing the progress of scientific nomenclature
in the bacteria line. "First in Germany."
said he, "these little lively things are
known as germs: in Paris as parasites; in
Dublin as microbes: and, when they are
gone, never to roturn, they are called
bacteria."
Macon (Ark.) wanted an amendment
adopted that would chloroform every Cus-tom-House
in the country that did not
return any revenue. Floor Leader Payno
declared that all useless Custom-Houses
would be attended to later, and Macon
was satisfied.
General Grosvenor took ocacslon to de
clare that the cry of the shoe people for
free hides was senseless, inasmuch as tho
Industry was - the most -profitable 'and
prosperous, of .all Industries. Considera
tion of the bill was not completed.
UPRISING OF BEET SUGAR MEN
Transfer War on Philippine Bill to
the Senate
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (Special.) "
Murmurings arc heard in tho Senate of a
possible revolt ,by the. beet-sugar men
against the, Philippine tariff bill, taken
up today by the committee of Philippines
for consideration. Tho opposition of the
beet sugar Industryto tho Cuban reci
procity treaty developed a strongth
among the Republicans, of seven votes.
This was enqugh to jdefeat the ratifica
tion, a two-thirds vote being necessary.
The same strength could not defeat the
Philippine bill, which only requires a ma
jority. -Millard of Nebraska, who Is up for re
election, declares he will stand by the
amended measure. -Other -Senators de
cline to be quoted. They say they expect
tho Senate committee to .amend the .bill
by raising the dutv. If this ! nnt i!nn
they hint that a vigorous opposition will -J
aevciop. in the light against Cuban reci
procity Elklns, Teller and Stewart were
among the leaders. Teller' Is as strong
ly opposed -to tho Introduction of -foreign
sugar Into the United States as he ever
was.
Elkins Is leading the fight against the
Administration railway rato bill and Is
willing to help a fight against the Philip
pine bill in the hope of securing some
concessions on the railroad bill. The
Philippine tariff bill is not expected to bo
reported from committee for several
weeks.
DENIES CULBERTSOVS CHARGE
"Wright Says Philippine Commission
ers Own No Land.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (Special.)
The War Department, in response to
Senator Culberson's resolution asking as
to the Interest of Government official
in land transactions along the lines of the
proposed railways In the Philippines, will
state that no American member of the
Philippine Commission owns any realty
In the islands.
Governor-General Wright said today It
was determined, when the first Civil Com
mission was organized, that ownership 'of
real property or other interests by Am
erican Commissioners in the Philippines
would be in questionable taste, and,, so
the Commissioners refrained from any
such investments. He said, however, that
tho native commissioners were men of
large property and probably owned much
real estate in the islands. None of thin,
it is understood, has been acquired lately
and none is situated so as to be directly
benefited by the proposed railroad sys
tem. HAGUE DELEGATES CHOSEN

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 20. The role
of the Constitutional Democratic party
in the National Assembly, according to
a resolution adopted at tho convention,
which opened here January 18. -will be
to obstruct all ordinary legislation.
However, in case the attempt at tho
first session to convert the Assembly
Into a full-fledged constituent body Is
successful, the members of the Con
stitutional Democratic party will en
deavor to secure the passage of an
election law provldipg for general, di
rect and equal suffrage and statutes
guaranteeing liberty of speech, assem
bly, press and religion and measures
for the pacification of the country.
A resolution providing for the par
ticipation of tho Constitutional Demo
cratic party in the elections to the
National Assembly was passed, with
only two dissenting votes, thus nulli
fying the -chances- of a split which the
oxtremists hoped. to effect on this Ques
tion.. At the suggestion of M. Bodltcheffi
the convention declined to bind the
party's representatives in the National
Assembly to any specific measures re
garding the solution of tho agrarian
Question.

the convention Monday. In memory ol the
victims of "Red Sunday" was carried by

the motion urging the- impossibility of fin
ishing the work of the convention, which
would -be dragged out in endless speech
making. Only a few delegates will re
main here until Tuesday "to wind up un
finished business which is imperative.
Scarcely a hundred delegates were pres
ent at the afternoon session of the con
vention which decided to ask fon a con
ference of the executive committee of the
pa"rty leaders with the workmen and So
cialists, in order to ascertain whether it is
possible to arrange for co-operation in the
elections against the federated Moderate
parties and the nomination of Joint
ticket candidates.
An offlciarcommunlcatlon says that seri
ous disorders on the anniversary of "Red
Sunday" are practically Impossible, as a
majority of the workers" are not inclined
to indulge In- them. It says also that, the
government is determined to stop all mass
meetings and demonstrations at the out
set. The communication adds that the
country is steadily returning to tranquil
lity, and that ieace and order are being
restored throughout the country, with the
exception of, a few border districts.

Grand Dukes and the nobility In general
support Count Wltte because lie Is dis
