DRAMATIC INCIDENT. IN THE DEBATE
Mr, Mttlefleld Qaeatlona Mr. limit
Rrgardlnt Interview that Might
Tend ( Excite Violence
AeraJnat Jadie Swayne.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The house of
representatives today devoted Its entire
aesslon to the discussion of the Impeach
ment charges against Judge Charles
Swayne of the northern district of Florida.
A dramatic Incident occurred when Mr.
LJttlefleld of Maine called on Mr. Lamar
of Florida, who filed the charges against
the Judge, to admit or repudiate an al
leged Interview which the former claimed
tended to Incite the people to commit an
act of violence against Judge Pwayne. Mr.
Lamar admitted giving an Interview, but
emphatically denied any suggestion from
him that could be construed Into advising
nsaasslnatlon cr murder. He said that
although Judge Swayne was known to be
the most lawless man In Florida, he hnd
remained secure from bodily harm.
PROCEEDINGS OP THE SENATE
Le-slalatlT Appropriation BUI Vnder
Discussion.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-The executive
legislative and . judicial appropriation bin
was today read at length In the senate, and
there waa considerable discussion of the
civil service question and the provision for
an Investigation of foreign trade conditions
by the Department of Commerce.
The bill for the encouragement of the
merchant marine waa reported to the senate
and Mr. Hailey made the point that the
commission had been pledged to report In
favor of discriminating dutlea and not in
favor of ship subsidies. The suggestion
waa combatted by Senators Gulllnger and
Lodge, who were members of the commis
sion. In making his report to the senate Mr.
Oalllnger used the majority report sub
mitted by the merchant marine commission.
A minority report will be made by Senator
Mallory In the form of the minority report
of tho commission, which It Is said will be
signed by nil of the democratic members of
the commission except Senator Martin,
who was a member of the commission. In
the discussions of the committee today
Senator Martin said he waa not ready to
subscribe absolutely to the views of the
majority, nor did he want to commit him
self to the minority report. No roll call
was had In the committee on the subject of
reporting the bill and therefore the trend
of the discussion Is the only record of the
attitude of the republican members of the
committee. It Is understood, however, that
no republican senator took so positive a
stand ngalnst reporting the bill ns would
cause him to support the minority views.
The bill as reported by the commission
was only amended In one Important par
ticular by the commerce commission.
An Increased annual matl subvention was
authorized for the proposed new route from
a port on the Pacific const to Hawaii,
Japan. China and the Philippines. For a
monthly service the subvention was In
creased from $300,000 to $400,000 and for a
fortnightly service from $i00.0n0 to $SO0,0O0.
Members' of the committee feared that the
subvention proposed by the commission
waa Insufficient to attract bidders for the
contract.
In connection with a paragraph tn the
legislative appropriation bill transferring
to the classified service a number of labor
ers employed as clerks a discussion of the
civil service waa participated In by Messrs.
Gorman, Cullom, Allison, Stewart and
others. Mr. Gorman complained of such
legislation as unfair to persons who have
taken the civil service examination. He
asserted that thla waa the most expensive
government In the world, which, he said,
was due to the appropriation of money In
lump sums to be expended at the discretion
of the executive departments. He traced
the treasury deficit to this course.
Mr. Gorman also criticised the amendment
appropriating $30,000 to permit the Depart
ment of Commerce to send agents abroad to
Investigate trade conditions, saying the de
partment had more than It could do In this
country.
Mr. Allison and Mr. Cullom Justified thn
provision ns In the Interest of extension of
our commerce.
The provision was amended so as to limit
the pay of agents to $10 per day and actual
traveling expenses.
The amendment as modified was accepted.
On motion of Mr. Foraker the provision
requiring the labeling of cnrrlngea occupied
by government officials other than cabinet
officers was stricken out.
Mr. Perry made a point of order against
the amendment Increasing the salaries of
members of the civil service commission
from $3,500 to $4,000. but pending its decision
the senate at 4:45 p. m. adjourned.
YOEMAXS NAMED FOR THE PLACE
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
To Remain I'ntll Cockrell la Free.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. The president
today sent to the senate the nomination of
James D. Teomana of Iowa to be Inter
state commerce commissioner.
Commissioner Yeomans term expired on
January 7. It was the Idea of the president
that he would continue as member of the
commission until his successor had quali
fied. Lawyers in congress held, however,
that the appointment of a member of that
commission la for a definite time, and that,
therefore, Mr. Yeomans ceased on January
7 to be a member of that body. The presi
dent referred the matter to Attorney Gen
eral Moody for an opinion. His opinion,
submitted to the president today, Is In ao-
cord with the general view In congress that
Mr. Yeomans Is now not a member of the
commission. The president consequently
sent the appointment of Mr. Yeomans to
the senate, the understanding being that
he will serve as a member of the body
until the term of Senator Cockreli In tha
senate shall expire.

FROy OUR LETTER BOX
Sidewalk. Inspection.
OMAHA. Jan. 11 To the Editor of The
Bee: Answering The Bee's request for a.
statement of facts relating to sidewalk In
spection referred to in Wednesday even
ing s News, I have to say:
First That all Inspectors on public works
under the law passed in the spring of 1903
are appointed by the Board of Public
Works, subject to approval of the mayor
and city council. The engineer can neither
appoint nor dismiss any inspectors without
the concurrence of the board. Concerning
the list of inspectors referred to by the
News, I cite you to the records of the
board. The names of John Dennlson, Dan
Custer, Sam Prattlen and C. J. Cannon
on the very first list were voted for by
Messrs. Lobeck and Wlthncll, I voting no,
as the records will show. The name of Mr.
Back waa sent in during the summer and
voted for by the same members, I voting
no. The retention of these men In the city's
employ Is Wed upon tha same authority
as their appointment
Concerning the assignment of Inspectors
the following from the record proceedings
of the board, May 10, 1H04. will be to the
point:
Mr. Withnell made a motioe. which Mr.
Loleck seconded, that hereafter before any
assignment be made of Inspectors to any
specific duty, their names shall be submit
ted to the board for approval of any such
proposed assignment. The chairman de
clared the motion out of order. Mr. With
nell appealed from the decision of the
chair. Appeal was sustained by the votes
of Lobeck and Withnell and the original
motion waa passed by the same vote.
Now as to facts as to cost of Inspection:
Instead of $:8.000 representing the cost of
sidewalks in KM, the real cost of walks
supervised by inspectors was over $!4,400
and the cost of Inspection In place of be
ing over 20 per cent la about 7 per cent.
As to the pay roll of some of these men
covering twenty-eight days, that Is cor
rect. Inasmuch ns the contractors on much
of the public work were compelled to work
on Sunday. necessitating Inspection, to
finish before cold weather set In and I
have personally Inspected such work In
many parts of the city on Sunday, though
receiving nothing extra therefor.
The fact that no walks are laid In the
winter does not Justify the discharge of
the entire force, as the records have to be
perfected nnd one or two men must he sent
out continuously over the "00 miles of side
walks to report dangerous conditions and
prepare lists of such locations that service
may be had on lot owners to protect the
city against liability. As to comparison
with other years the News statement Is
erroneous. In 1902 the number of miles of
walk laid was 115; cost, $37,722; number of
Inspectors employed, 4. In 1903, miles laid,
6.95; cost, $23,400; number of Inspectors, 6.
In 1!M, miles laid, 2S; cost, $84,440; number
of Inspectors, 9.
In Justice to some of the Inspectors I
think It but right to say that while I voted
against their employment because of their
Inexperience at the outset, some of them
have since becomo quite efficient and are
doing creditable work. Reference has been
made to Mr. Snowden, Inspecting Inspec
tors. That Is not only true, but has been
done In the Interest of efficient organization
and economy. Mr. Snowden la an old en
gineer, whose special duties are to inspect
asphalt repair work, which he hns done for
the city for over fifteen years, and as he is
pii Id by the month he was directed to de
vote his spare time to aid In the assign
ment of the work for different Inspectors
and the collation of their reports for office
records. ANDREW ROSE WATER.

"That particular nliase of regulation has
already been pronounced by the commis
sion as fully covered by existing statutes.
It simply becomes a question of enforce

The ceremonies were held In the Masonic
hall at the corner of Sixteenth and Cap
itol avenue.
At 10:30 o'clock four uniformed guards
with drawn swords, entered the hnll and
took seats at the four corners of the cas
ket In which the body resnosed. The few
lights faded Into blackness. In the distance
came the sound of a trumpet call nnswtred
by the solemn music of the organ and four
teen figures, robed In thn attire of monks
und bearing lighted candles, filed Into the
room. At the casket they divided, taking
positions on each side of the bier. Pre
ceptor W. 8. Summers, robed as a high
priest, passed through the aisle to the
altar. The knights knelt In prayer and
"Nearer, My God to Thee," was sung by
the choir. "Do Profundls" was chanted
and "Mlspah" was sung as a solo by Miss
Daisy Hlgglns. The solemn ritual went
on, each knight playing his part In the
weird ceremony. The ring of the order
worn by the deceased in life was rtlin
qulshed and then surrendered to the mem
bers of the family.
"If there be no accuser there can be
no Judgment." The preceptor spoke the
words slowly and solemnly. Again he
spoke. "Let the grave then be rtaily to
receive Its dead." The gowned figures cir
cled around the bier. At the head of the
casket each spoke the mystic farewell of
the order and extinguished his candle.
"Lead, Kindly Light." was sung. The
last words of regret were spoken. Again
the gavel fell. The service of regret was
over.
The funeral will be held at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon from Masonic temple. The
pallbearers will be ns follows: Frank Bur
man. A. E. Samuelson, Gus Sedin. Charles
P. Strombcrg, John Stevens and John F.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES
Only a hn ;lrl" at the Ktat,
Lottie Williams again leads her ralr of
klls throuph the dark and stormy streets
of New York, alternately defying the hard
hearted lawyer, whipping a policeman, res
cuing the persecuted maiden and putting up
a strong talk about the woes of the work
ing man and the poor who have to sleep
outdoors on nights like lost night. Lottie
does all this In a serious, buslnes-llke way,
and winks a wink that Is not a naughty
wink, Just a Jolly, good-fellow wink, and
wins enthusiastic support from all parts of
the house. She Is supported by a company
that i quite capable. Indeed. Miss Henri
etta Ttdro, who hns the part of Eva Arl
ington, the "shop girl," Is a young woman
with a genuine gift for acting, and puts
Into her part a depth of pathos and true
tenderness that Is far and away beyond
whHt even the author had In mind. As for
the piny Itself, it Is simply rubbish. . TO
opining performance last night was at
t nded by a large audience and Its lofty sen
timents, Including the bentlng of the police
by the hero and his father, was most en
thusiastically applauded. Some wonder tx
Ists as to why the Judge and his openhanded
son did not then and there take care of
the poor shop girl and not let her drag her
miserable existence through three mure
acts before the rescue Is finally effected.
Some songs are well sung and some pleas
ing specialties are introduced, incidental to
the movement of the action. The piece will
remain at the Krug till nfter Saturday
night, with a matinee on Saturday.
