PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT , SENDS SPECIAL MESSAGE ON LABOR MATTERS GOVKKXOIl SAYS THAT SKNATOIt ITI.TO.V TOM) HIM THAT SMITH TOOK OI.I) MAX'S MO.V KY AX! IHD"T KEEP HIS AtillKKMEXT REPEATED COX. VEHSATIOX TO FEDERAL AU THORITIES WHEX CALLED ON Governor Chamberlain today, be fore leaving for Albany, conflrmetl his Interview with lleney, to the ex tent of saying that Fulton came Into his office and branded J. S. Smith as a grafter, saying: "Ho took the old man's money and didn't keep his agreement." Senator Fulton, In an Interview, said nil he did was to warn the gov ernor against appointing Smith, on tho ground thnt he was a grafter. Governor Chamberlain says Fulton made his statements voluntarily, and that he gave out no statement of the matter until called upon tor it by the federal authorities, and then not for the puurpose of injuring Ful ton, but in line of duty as a public official. It was after Fulton told him what he did that he set on foot an investi gation to ascertain if Smith had really accetped a bribe. Ho found thnt, while therohad been clearly an attempt to bribe a member of the legislature. Smith had gone Into it with an understanding with a com mittee of which John C. Young nnd H. L. riarkley were members, to bell the cat and find out the facts as to money belngnsed. ' The Attack Xot Political "It was published In the newspa pers thnt Smith hud received $1500, but it was never so stated by Fulton or Smith. It was stated by others that money wns being used, but I knew nothing of it personally. I da not know that I shall be a candidate, or what use I shall mnko of the inci dent, In case I am forced Into the campaign. If my friends Insist I shall make a campaign It will not be a personal ono against any man. I do not expect to go to the senate. It is nn aggregation of moneybags, and I have no money to spend wining and dining thnt bunch, In order to get legislation that tho people of the state want put through." Salem Journal. I WWW I $8 to $24 I j Washington, Jan. 31. A special i message of the president to congress on the subject of the employers' lla bllliy net and Injunctions in labor cases, was presented 111 the senate a few minutes after 12 o'clock today. Hut a handful of senators were pres ent. The vice president at. once banded the meyynge to the assistant secrei.'irv of the senate, who Immedi ately began Its reading. Printed cop e were aluo il 1st rlliuted to the sen ators present, and many of them ap peared to satisfy themselves concern ing the nature of the message by scanning the printed doruinent, so that before the rending was hnlf fin ished they very generally tnok up other matters and only a few follow ed the reading carefully until Its conclusion. At the conclusion and when the striking panHBires were rend many senators looked around the chamber and excbaniterl mlle. Senator Tlll mnn seemed especially nleiiHed. At Its ronrlnslon Senator DavU moved that 10. "00 copies lie printed as a public document, the "best. Iiein ocrnilc doctrine I ever heard ematint 1 lug from a llepnbllcnn source."

At lis conclusion the members. ! without regard to parly, loudly np- plaudcd, cheered, thumped the desks, nnd gave other evidences of their iip i proval. After a moment's silence, the applause broke out. again, several members, Including many Democrats, nrlslng from their seats and clapping their hands. The Message. To tho Senate and House of Repre sentatives: The recent decision of the Supreme Court, in regard to the Employers' Liability act, the experience of the nterstnte Commerce Commission and of the Department of Justice In en forcing the Interstate Commerce, and Anti-Trust laws, and the grave ly significant attitude toward Hie law and Its administration recently ndopted by certain heads of great 1 corporations render it desirable that there should bo additional legisla tion as regards certain of the rela tions between labor and capital and between the great, corporations and the public. i The Supremo Court, has decided I Hut em nln vers' liillittllv lllw In he utl- costltutlonnl because Its terms apply to employees engaged wholly In in terstate commerce as well as to em ployes engaged In Intrastate com merce.
