liei'Hii.oe a man was rirh he would not

aid, waa Mr. White, at Paris, and he

The reference to Mr. White by Har

He denied that the Relgtans were re-
aponaihle for any wrong-doing, but
aid tnat the mutilations were commit
ted by the different tribes, one upon
the other. When It was found that
Relgtum had taken steps to stop those
practices, there was substituted, he
said, an agitation against slavery.
Plnylnjt Jlm Bull's Game.
'That agitation," he declared, "is the
result of a pmpnganda from Great Rrl
tain." That country coveted the Congo
Free Ptnte, and what he objected to
was "our (Secretary of State being In
duced by Great pritatn to jump into
thla complication and attack I-copold
and thereby try to pull the chestnuts
out of the fire for Knglaud." In his
opinion, England was able to take care
of herself without the Interference of
the United States.
On a point of order by Madden
(Illinois) the appropriation of $4S00 for
the payment of the quota of the United
States for the support of the Interna
tional Institute of Agriculture at Rome
was stricken out.
Consideration of the bill then was
concluded, whereupon Cousins moved to
suspend the rules nnd pass the meas
ure. William, in objecting to unani
mous consent, said:
Forced by a sense of duty and the
Inactivity of Republican legislation."
etc. His dosing words were drowned
by several resounding whacks of the
speaker's gavel.
The chair, after a long controversy
with Williams, declared him out of
order and directed him to take his
scat, whirh he did. The bill appro
priating 93.o20.2S3 then was passed
under suspension of the rules, where
upon Payne (New York) moved to ad
journ, v
Tho speaker, despite the protests of
Williams. declnred the House ad
journed until tomorrow at noon.
The Speaker left the chair Immedi
ately after letting his gavel fall and
with a smile on his face walked toward
Williams to say something to him.
Williams, however, was so Incensed
that he refused to converse with Can
non. A number of the Democratic
members were severe In their denun
ciation of the Speaker's action.
CULLS CANNON A TYRANT
WII UASIS OPKXIY QUARRELS
- WITH SPEAKER.
Demand for Division Is Ignored as
Dilatory and Now Leaders Are
Xo Longer Friends.
WASHINGTON", April IS A situation
whlili has developed extreme tension,
ltoth personal and political, has (frown
out or the tat mtmite of tho session of
the House toiiay. The Speakers action
In declaring the House adjourned on tho
motion of Mr. Payne of New York, the
majority leader, without heeding the de
mand of Williams, the minority leader,
for division, was denounced tonijrht by
Williams and by other members of the
minority as "tyrannical." Williams, while
he did not care to make a statement to
nlKht concerninfT tha situation, declared
that the Speaker's action w "the most
hlRh-hnndcd proceeding that a Speaker of
the House of Representatives had ever
carried through."
Williams recounted briefly the incidents
leadinic up to the adjournment, stating
that, when the motion of Payne was
put to the House, he hRd asked for a
division, a right guaranteed to him by
tho rules of the House and by the con
stitution. The Speaker, he said, declared
the motion carried and left his desk and
walked toward him. Williams said he
understood the Speaker to say some
thing to him. but he had responded,
This is beyond a joke."
Williams says he turned away and
proctrid to his committee-room and
the Speaker left the House and went
to his room. Williams said Cannon and
he always had been good friends, but
that he felt the Speaker's action, in
declaring the House adjourned, was "a
arbitrary an action as any Speaker of
the House of Representatives ever had
taken."
ltte tonight Cannon, In discussing
the dispute, said:
Fr mtre than two weeks uwipr the lan
of Representative Williams, tho minority havo
been engairM In a nllbuMor. Tho majority
has the rtfrht and it is Its duty to legislate.
It has been performing that duty and ao doubt
will continue to do so. Tho nileo of tho House
prohibit tllatory motions that would be in
onirr were they not mado for dilatory pur
posed. The CVaMitmion provides that on demand of
one-nfth of the melibfis present, tho yea and
say shall be spread on tho Journal. Repre
sentative Williams did not demand the yeas
and nnys. nor did any other member of tho
House. As ho did sot choose to exercise his
right under the Constitution, tho chair ignored
his dilatory demand for a division and de
clared the House adjourned. The bare etate
tnent of the proceedings shows that Repre
sentative Williams did not know how to avail
himself of his constitutional rights or did not
chooso to do so.
Must Protect Own Children.
HELHNA. Mont., April 18. Holding that
it is the duty of parents to safeguard
their children when in known places of
danger, the Supreme Court today re
versed the decision of the District Court
of Silver Row County In the suit of Har
ringron against the Butte, Anaconda &
Pacific. Railway. which had awarded
damages for injury to a child. Allowing
unattended children In such .places Is de
fined as prima facie neglect, a new prin
ciple so far as Montana courts are con
cerned, the matter having been left to the
jury.

and Letters Were Written on
the Snino Typewriter.
WASHINGTON. April IS The author
ship of the nnonymous letters that have
been Introduced In tho invostlgntlon of
tho Kloetrlo Hont Company was dili
gently Inquired Into today by the House
committee conducting the Investigation.
David N. Onrvnlho and William J. Kins
ley, of New York, nnd Albert 8. 6sborne.
of Rochester, handwriting experts nnd
experts lis to typewriting, testlllcd that
the two letters and certain documents
presented to tho committee by Repre
sentative I.llley. and which. It hns been
testilled. were written by Ahner K. Noff.
of the Lake Torpedo Boat Company, on
a typewriter In the Lake Company's of
fice, were all written on the same type
writer. Neither Mr. I.llley nor Mr. Noff
was uuestioned hy the committee on
this point, but both denied during the
dav that thev had written the anonymous
letters or that they knew anything about
them.
Lllley Rerutes Evidence.
Mr. MlleV. at the beginning of the
day"a session, presented a letter from
the Commissioner of Patents. stating
thnt no patent had been granted to
Charles K. Nason during the past ten
years. This document wns Introduced for
the purpose of contradicting the testi
mony or the Kloctrle Bont Company of
ficials that they had paid Mr. Nason.
who is a lteutennnt In the Navy, 1S00
for a patent he httd secured. Mr. Lllley
asked that President Bowles, of tho Fore
River Shipbuilding Company, and John
P Holland be summoned as witnesses.
Chairman Boutell stnted that of the
many charges brought before the com
mittee. the most serious was thnt of
corrupt means having been used to se
cure or defent the nomination and elec
tion or members of tho present Congress.
He said:
Attempt to Blacken Ijotid.
Such a charge reflects upon the in
tegrity of the House and deserves the
most 'exhaustive exatnluiition by this
committee. The only case of this kind
which the testimony has disclosed Is
the cowardly attempt made, partly
n,r..,,i, ,1,1 nnonvmous letter, to black
en llir name nrid ruin the career of
Representative Loun. 01 aiicmifuii.
Mr. Boutell stated that the letters
had been turned over to experta. and
he then called Mr.. Carvalho, who aald
he had examined the two letters In
question, one received by the Washing
ton correspondent of the Uetrolt Free
Press, and the other hy Frank F.dln
borough, a State Senator from Michi
gan and now a candidate for Congress
against Mr. Loud. Unquestionably, he
said, the anonymous letters and cer
tain of the papers were written by one
and the same machine.
These documents. It has been testl
fled. were dictated by ex-Senator
Thurston and written by Abner K. Ncff
on a typewriter In the Washington of
fice of the Lake Torpedo-Boat Company.
The documents in question were ques
tions and statements presented to the
committee by Mr. Lllley and signed by
him.
It also has been testified by Benja
min Webster, private secretary to Mr.
Lllley, that he (Webster) had done
some work on the typewriter In Mr.
Neffs office.
Knows Xothlng of Letters.
"Nothing Is known as to the author
ship of the anonymous letters that
have been Introduced in the investiga
tion of the Electric Boat Company."
said Mr. Lilley to a representative of
the Associated Press today. "The four
documents which Mr. Carvalho says
were written on tho same typewriter
as were the anonymous letters, were
submitted to me by an agent of the
Lake Torpedo-Boat Company. T signed
them and submitted them to the com
mittee." THREATENS THE PAPER TRUST
Speaker Cannon May Oeniand Con
gressional Investigation.
WASHINGTON. April 1$. In the event
the Attorney-General does not show that
something substantia! has been done to
prosecute the paper trust as a combina
tion in restraint of trade, providing the
pending Inquiry as to whether it is op
erating In violation of the law. Congress
may go Into the trut-flghting business
on Its own account.
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Payne,
of the ways and committee, contend
that the tariff has nothing to do witto
the high price of print paper; that if the
scarcity of the raw product Is not re
sponsible for it, then the fault lies with
the paper trust, which by combining fac
tories and regulating the output, holdb
the price up to suit itself.
The Speaker does not intend to rush
Into trust-fighting, but he may offer a
resolution providing for a searching in
quiry by a Congressional committee into
the operations of the International Paper
Company. This ioulry. If held, will
touch upon the sources of supply, the
method of manufacture and manner of
distribution of products of wood pulp.
