CURRENT WEEK
Creates Much Interest
Resume of World’s Important
Events Told in Brief.
Washington, D. C- — Charges by
Senator N rris, of Nebraska, that
someone had stolen $200,000,000 from
the stockholders of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad pre
cipitated a warm discussion in the
senate, several of the New England
senators insisting that Senator Norris
was guilty of loose and unwarranted
language.
Senator Norris retracted nothing,
however, insisting that his statements
were warranted and that the adoption
of his resolution under debate would
have a salutary effect.
The resolution asks specifically
whether any contemplated agreement
between the attorney general and the
railroad provides for immunity from
prosecution to any one connected with
the railroad and whether it contem
plates the surrender by the railroad
company or any of its stockholders of
the right to bring action for damages
on account of past misappropriations
of funds.
" I object to such loose statements
as that ‘somebody has stolen $200,-
000,000,’ ” declared Senator Lippitt,
of Rhode Island.
" I f the senator
means to say that the directors robbed
the stockholders of the road, he is in
great error. At the most there were
only errors of judgment. The adjust
ment cannot go on satisfactorily if
unwarranted statements of that kind
are made.”
Senator Norris said that if the sen
ate had reached the point where it was
unwilling to “ throw the light on the
depredations of a lot of pirates" It
ought not to wonder at the existence
of anarchists in the country.
