WASHINGTON, April M.-A sharp col
loquy occurred In the senate today between
tfTTlS
written by the latu General H. It. Thomas
of Chicago, nttacklng- the civil service ad
ministration of the Treasury department.
The Incident occurred In connection with
the discussion of the postofllce appropria
tion bill. That measure was under discus-
,h. e-at hair rr the session
and was passed, all amendments offered

Mr. Teller was speaking and he had maae
iiin tn n letter of General Thomas
e..,.r.iint- nnnointments In Chicago. In
which Secretary Bhaw waa criticised.
Mr. Hnnklns entered the chamber and
beoarrto emracfd with Mr. Teller In a
colloquy over the matter, saying he knew
enough about the matter to know that the
statement of the Colorado senator was un-
true.
Mr. Teller replied that his Information
was as good as any Information obtained
from th(J gumB
Hopkins retorted that he was not afraid
of anything In his own record and in
timated that the Colorado senator could
not say as much.
"I will say." remarked Mr. Teller, "that
after more than twenty-five years" public
service, that It Is a gratuitous Insult.
Mr. Hopklna tried to make a reply, but
Mr. Teller declined to be further Inter-
rupted until the senator from Illinois could
acquire the manners of the senate, I
He then went on with his speech. I
The postofflce appropriation bill Was
passed and the conference report on mo
Indian appropriation bill was taken up.
Aldrleh Takes a Hand.
Mr. Teller presented an amendment for
an Investigation committee composed en-
tlrelv of senators.
Mr, Teller said that any senator who said
thnt he did not know what tho charges
were could not have read the Brlstow ro-
nort or the nubllo cress. He had seen a
charae In one newsDaoer "that more than
, - - ......
a. nunarea senators anu meinutji imu ucuu
caught In the Bristow trap." He also uald
that aueh charaea had been made urainst
the Treasury department as would under
any other administration have caused the
head of that department to call for an in-
qulry.
Mr. Aldrleh Interrupted with a denial
that' republican .enatora were trying 'to
avoid an Inquiry and Mr. Teller repeated
his statement that no investigation was
wanted.
The senator can speak for himself, but
not for anyone else," Mr. Aldrleh replied
sharply, and Mr. Teller responded by say
ing that every resolution looking to an In
quiry had been voted down.
Cnlla Froof an Insult
"Can the senator of his own knowledge
make a specific charge of malfeasance in
office that has not been Investigated?" Mr.

It was the common boast of .Taylor in
Kansas that he had lunched or dined

FIGHTING FOR CONTROL
Hill tsd Earriman IntsreiU Rapmentad in

MOTION TO FILE h I ERVENING PETITION
Will Rffert Manner of Settlement In
the Northern Seeurltlea Case and
Decide Northern rnclBo
Control.
ST. PAl'L, April 12.-The motlrm of E, H.
Harriman and Wlnslow S. Pierce for leave
to file an Intervening petition In the set
tlement of the Northern Securities affairs,
recently ordered by the United States su
preme court, the manner of auch settle
ment being left to the order of the United
States district court here, was heard before
the full bench of the district court today.
Messrs. Harriman and Pierce in tholr pe
tition whlrh they ask leave to file object to
the plan of the directors of the Northern
Securities for a pro rata distribution of
Great Northern and Northern Pacific stock
among holders of Northern Socurlties
utock. The first point raised will be ;he
right of Harriman and Tierce to Intervene
and If that right Is granted the suit
w-lll follow with Its usual accompaniment
Of demurrers, answers, amended petitions,
etc. If the motion Is denied the settle
ment of the affairs of the company will be
made according to the order of the court.
When court convened today the Harriman
Interests were represented by W. 1). Guth
rie, John F. Dillon and Judge Baldwlu.
Tho Northern Securities company was rep
resented by Elihu Root, former secretary of
war; Francis Llnde Stetson, attorney for
J. P. Morgan St Co.; John G. Johnson of
Philadelphia, M. D. Grover, general counsel
for the Great Northern; C. W. Bunn, gen
eral counsel of the Northern Pacltic, and
George B. Young, prominent In the Securi
ties litigation.
Regards Proposition t'nfatr.
Mr. Guthrie said In substance that Hsrrl
man and Tierce, as trustees of the Oregon
Short Line, had deposited certain shares of
Northern Pacific stock with the Northern
Securities company, and that now, under
the plan of distribution proposed by the
Hill-Morgan Interests, the Harrlman-Plerce
people were to get In return for their
Northern Pacific stock certain shares of
Great Northern stock.
"And the difference," he said, "between
what the Harriman interests put In the
Northern Securities compar.y, and what
the Northern Securities wished to return to
them would be more than 11,000,000 a year
In interest alone."
Mr. Evarts said that the merger under
the proposed plan of distribution would be
a stronger combination of Interests than It
was before it was dissolved, and that It
would in that manner be in greater viola
tion of the Sherman anti-trust act than It
was before. In which position the plaintiffs
did not wish to place themselves.
Judge Sanborn asked Mr. Evurt whether
the manner of settlement proposed by Mr.
Hill was fair and Just. Mr. Evart replied
that he contended it was unfair.
Former Secretary of War Root then be
gan his argument to the court on behalf
of the defendants. He said, in part:
Attorney Hoot'a Argument.
The counsel for the Oregon Short Line
company, wiiich la unking leave to illj a
pennon as lniervenor, iiaa put hlinseit on
the ground of a person seeking for tna ex
ecution o( your iionor's uecrue. He now
asks leave to Intervene that he may secure
execution of the decree, llarriniuu was a
director oi the Northern Uecurltics com
pany and he showed as such In IshjL when
articles of Incorporation were tiled in New
Jersey. He remained so to the end. Tliut
company,, under the decision of the board.,
of which he was a member, opposed the
very thing he is praying for how.
It cannot be a violation of a decree to re
turn stock which decree made It unlawful
to hold. You are asked to leturn to tho
petitioners 78,0uo,000 of Northern I'aclllo
stock, which Is a large majority of the
stock of that company. You are asked to
put into the hanus of the Union Pacific
and the Oregon Bliort Line the absolute
control of the Northern Pacific, a compet
ing and parallel line. You will see the
whole of, the Northern Sucurltles scheme
was formed for the purpose of preventing
the Union Paclfio from getting control.
This action Involves the Introduction of
new Issues and individuals foreign to the
decree. They are not here as a class, but
representing indtvluual clulms. They sold
millions of Bhaies to thousands of people
and now usk tor special privileges, saying
It makes a difference to them of a million
a year In Interest. Ycu are being "asked to
give a preference to one who was a partici
pator In Its ordinal illegality at the ex
pense of those wholly Innocent.
At the close of Mr. Root's address the
court took a recess.

cation with him In regard to Its future
use. He would enter Into no particulars
beyond tho statement that one of the firms
having an eye on tho ground was. ah out-of-town
manufacturing plant and . the
others were Omaha bouses.
"I will not be In a position to say any
thing definitely for a month," said Mr.
Her. "Nothing, at all may come of this,
but I hope to be able to announce some
Improvement. Much depends on whether
my propositions to the council are accept
able and as to whether I am able to get
satisfactory trackage. The desire of these
business men Is for switching facilities
with both the Union Paclfio and the Bur
lington and representatives of these roads
looked over the ground .Monday."
Mr, Her appeared before the council com
mittee Monday afternoon and offered them
an extension of Marcy street in a curving
line along the railroad property to the
bridge,- a street north from Leavenworth
to Jonea and two diagonal alreeta across
his land If the city would deed him the
east 15C feet of Ieavenworth street.
Qradera are at work on the Marcy street
