ROLLER POLO GAME ENDS IX A TIE
Auditoriums and Omahaa Each Score
One Goal.
The third game of roller polo played
between the Auditoriums and the Omahas
resulted in a tie, the score standing 1 to 1
at the end of the third period. The game
was without doubt the best that hase been
played in this city this year; better team
work was shown, It was a cleaner and at
the same time a faster game than has
been seen here previously.
The work of Pitt for the Auditoriums
was par excellence, he doing the best work
he has done this season. Several times
he took the ball from near his own goal
and worked It the entire length of the
field unassisted, and only some, excellent
guarding on the part of Davidson pre
vented his making a goal). As It was, he
made the only goal secured by his team
during the evening. His interfering and
driving were also neatly done. Nelson
was the star for the Omahas and ghowed
up well at dodging with the ball, bu twas
not very good at driving. He made the
goal for his team.
During the second neriod netchl wa
st ruck across the forehead with a club
and an ugly gash cut. Davis took his
place. The teams lined up as follows:

I10USE PASSES NAVAL BILL
Appropriation for Two Additional Battle
thipi is Retained.
CARRIES NEAKLY HUNDRED MILLION
Mr. Baker Offers a Senaatlonal Reao
lotlon Cenanrlng the President
for Sending; Meaaage of
f
Condolence to Caar.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. The house to
day, after a seven hours' session, passed
the naval appropriation bill, carrying a
total of $99,914,369. The provision for two
battleships, as reported by the committee
on naval affairs, was retained. ' Both the
majority and minority were badly divided
over the proposition, at least forty mem
bers of the latter going over to the re
publicans, while about an equal number of
republicans voted in opposition. Several
Important changes in the bill were made.
The proposed Increase of 1,200 men and of
ficers for the marine corps was stricken out
as was also the provision authorizing the
construction of a collier somewhere e1e
than at the Mare Island navy yard in Cali
fornia. In order to do the work better an
Item of $178,000 was Inserted for the proper
equipment of the Mare Island yard.
Several times during the debate the as
sassination of Grand Duke Serglus was re
ferred to. the subject being brought up by
Mr. Baker of New Yrok, who condemned
the action of President Roosevelt In send
ing a message of condolence to Russia ex
pressing the sentiment that the government
and the American people viewed the act
with abhorrence. The people, he declared,
viewed with abhorrence the massacre In
St. Petersbuig on January 22, but the presi
dent, he said, h id not seen fit to send a
message of condolence on that occasion.
He was replle.'. to by Mr. Grosvenor of
Ohio, who took the ground that regardless
of the character of the duke or the ques
tion of the right or wrong of Russia's policy
toward her subjects the president, In send
ing the message he did, had done exactly
what civilization considered his duty.
The climax came later in the day when
Mr. Baker read a resolution on the subject,
which he subsequently Introduced, and
which In effect was a reiteration of his re
marks previously made. He explained that
It had been suggested that In the event of
his offering such a resolution a motion
would be made to expel hlm He shouted
defiance to any member of the house to
make the motion as he deposited the resolu
tion and took his seat amid the confusion
which the Incident had created.
Homestead Bill la Considered.
A resolution providing for an early
consideration of bills allowing home
stead entries of 640 acres each in
eastern Colorado and South Dakota
was the first business in the house
today. It was called up under suspension
of the rules and was opposed by Mr. Mad
dox (Ga.), who forced a count of the house
on a point of no quorum, and also a debate
on the adoption of the resolution.
After a prolonged discussion the rules
were suspended and the resolution was
passed.
Consideration of the naval appropria
tion bill was then resumed.
There was a digression from the debate
on the naval bill when Mr. Baker of New
York condemned President Roosevelt for
sending the Russian government a mes
sage, of sympathy on account of the as
sassination of Grand Duke Serglus and ex
pressing that both the Amarican govern
ment and people viewed the killing with
abhorrence. Mr. Baker declared that no
such , message had been sent when the
massacre occurred in St. ' Petersburg on
January 22. "I deny," he vehemently as
serted, "that the American people are
shocked by the killing of the Grand Duke
Sersrtus."
In tle course of his remarks, Mr. Baker
referred to the refusal of the house to ad
journ out of respect to the Russians killed
on the streets of St. Petersburg on Jan
uacv 22.
With particular reference to that action,
Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio was bitter In his
criticism of Mr. Baker. Mr. Baker's action
he declared to have been unpreceLented.
Had adjournment been taken, he said, it
would have been a meaningless and stupid
exhibition of ignorance. Mr. Grosvenor
spoke of Grand Duke Serglus as a cabinet
officer of the emperor. He denied that the
president fell short of his duty and said
as regards the killing of grand duke it
would have been little short of Impro
priety had not the president sent his mes
sage of condolence. He ventured the as
sertion, and received liberal applause in
doing so, that if a vote of condemnation of
the president was offered by any resolution
of Mr. Baker It would not get a vote
except the latter's own. The president, he
concluded, had done exactly what cizillza
tlon recognized as hio duty. '
No Increase In Marine Corps.
On getting back to the naval bill the
house, on a point of order by Mr. Sher
man (N. Y.), struck out the provision for
the proposed Increase In the strength of
the marine corps.
, For contingent expenses of the marine
corps the appropriation was reduced from
$215,000. to $85,000.
When the provision was reached regard
ing the construction of two new battleships,
a number of members were on their feet
with amendments. " One by Mr. Perkins
(N.'Y.) proposing a reduction in the num
ber of new battleships from two to one.
Mr. Rlxey (Va.) opposed the construction
of any new battleships' at ail on the plea
that sufficient officers could not be pro
vided for them, and also that the United
States, in the matter of battleship con
struction, was building faster than Great
Britain. It was sufficient, he said, to keep
I pace with it.
The statement was denied by Mr. Foss,
Which caused Mr. Maddox (Ga.) to Inquire
why the United States should not be first
among the navies of the world. He did
not believe in haggling over two ships, but
thought the number should be Increased
to ten. .
The two battleships proposition was sup
ported by Messrs. Hemmenway (Ind.), Bas
sett and Sulzer (N. Y.), Grosvenor (O.),
Meyer (La.) and Foss (111.).
Messrs. Mondell (Wyo.) and Thayer
(Mass.) favored one battleship only, and
Messrs. Bartholdt (Mo.), Scott (Kan.), Drls
coll (N..Y.) and Lind (Minn.) opposed any
new battleships.
Senaatlonal Resolution by Mr, Baker.
Bef?.r the vote was taken Mr. Baker
(N. Y.) created u sensation by offering
the following resolution, which he read:
That while this house views with hor
ror the deliberate destruction of human
lite, at all times and under ail circum
stances, yet It declares that reprehensible
as was the murder of the Grand Duke
Serglus, It was no more wanton than the
massacre perpetrated by the Russian gov
ernment on January ii, when thousands
of unarmed men, women and children were
butchered In cold blood; and that it re
gards the murder of those helpless, un
offending men, women and children as one
of the most dastardly crimes ever perpe
trated; that In refusing to express the
horror of the people of this country at
the fearful crime, while now asserting
that both the American government and
people view the killing of Grand Duke
Berglua with abhorrence, the president has
not and does not voire the reul sentiments
of the people of the United Slates.
In an excited manner he asserted that
he had been told that If he Introduced
the resolution a ' motion would1 be made
to expel him from the house. Rushing
down the aisle and waving the resolution
In his hand, he deposited it In the box
I provided fur such measures and defied any
one to make a motion to expel him. "Make
It now!" he shouted. "Expel! expel! ex
pel ! I tell you! Introduce your motion to
expel!"
When the excitement which his action
created had subsided the Perkins amend
mend to appropriate for one battleship
only Instead of two was defeated on a
vote by tellers. 121 to 144, which had the
effect of passing the original provision
for two ships. While no record vote was
taken. It was noticed that many demo
crats voted for the two battleships, wh)le
a number of republicans recorded them
selves against the proposition.
The house rejected an amendment by
McNary (Mass.), which proposed, on ac
count of the price of steel In the United
States, to strike from the bill the require
ment of the law that the vessels In all
their parts shall ie of domestic manufac
ture. Mr. W. W. Kitchln (N. ,C.) sought to
secure an appropriation of $1,000,000 for a
government armor plate factory, but his
amendment went out on a point of order.
The chair sustained a point of order
against an amendment by Vandlver (Mo.)
providing a scale of prices for armor plate,
limiting the cost to $398 per ton for class
A armor, $393 for class B, $:ISS for class C,
and $.389 for class D.
A spirited discussion, but which resulted
In no action, aroe over the ability of the
Mldvale Steel company to fulfill Its con
tract with the government In the matter of
armor plate deliveries, in the course of
which Mr. Morrell (Pa.) made a vigorous
speech In behalf of the Mldvale company.
Several further attempts to amend the bill
failed.
When the bHI was reported to the house
from the committee of the whole, Mr. Foss
moved to recommit It, ' at the same time
demanding the previous question. The
motion to recommit was voted down and
the bill was passed without division.
Mr. Payne '(N. Y.) announced to the
house the death today of his colleague,
Mr. Otis, at his home In Yonkers, and
offered the usual resolutions of sympathy
and regret. The speaker appointed the
following committee to represent the house
at the funeral: Messrs. Smith, Sulzer, Baa
sett and Golden (N. Y.); Currier (N. H.),
Donyngo (Colo.), Legare (S. C), Thomas
(O.) and Dlckerman (Pa.).
Hhe house then at 7:10 p. m. adjourned
until tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE
Debate on Question of Appointing;
Conferees on Statehood Bill.
WASHINGTON, FeD. 20. Whether the
senate conferees on the statehood bill will
represent the party that defeated Joint
statehood for Arizona and New Mexico or
the party that fought for the retention of
that provision was debated at length in the
senate today, but no decision was reached.
The usual manner Is to name as conferees
the two ranking majority members and the
ranking minority member of the commit
tee having the bill in charge. In the pres
ent case It was contended by Senators
Gorman and Teller that the conferees if
so named, would not represent the senti
ment for the bill as passed by the senate.
The arguments were Interrupted by the
convening of the senate as a court to hear
the Swayne Impeachment charges, but will
be continued tomorrow. The house man
agers In the Swayne trial rested their case
today and the defense opened.
The first part '! pf the session of
the senate today was devoted to
routine business.. A,.' number of bills
were passed, one authorizing the award
of bronze medals of honor to persons dis
playing conspicuous bravery In saving
lives In railroad wrecks, which measure
had passed the houqe. ,
A substitute for' a "house. Ttlll relating to
the construction of,4iun and reservoir for
Irrigation purposes! tor the Rio Grande In
New Mexico was passed.
The motion for a' Conference on the state
hood bill was then considered. ; '
Robert Henry of Waco, Texas, was the
first witness. He 'testified that Judge
Swayne walked four blocks to the court
house In Waco. This waa offered to show
that Judge Swayne had not expended any
money for travel.,
1 Simeon Belden was recalled for cross
examination by ex-Senator Thurston.
Manager Olmsted had read the provisions
of Florida statutes relating to suits of eject
ment or disqualification of Judges. Mr.
Olmsted then announced that the case of
the house managers was concluded.
Ex-Senator Anthony Hlgglns of Delaware,
made the preliminary statement for Judge
Swayne.
In opening he referred to the charges
against Judge Swayne as diminutive and
said that If the accused was found guilty
he would be barred from any further
career on the bench and from holding any
other position of honor.
Mr. Higglns was still speaking when at
6:58 p. m. the court Adjourned for the day.
The senate then went Into executive ses
sion and at 6:05 p. m. adjourned.
COTTON MEN AT WHITE 1IOISE
President Tells Southern Planters
. He Will Help Them if Possible.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Presldent
Roosevelt today received a committee ap
pointed by the recent southern interstate
cotton convention at New Orleans to urge
the creation of a commission to extend the
foreign markets for cotton products. The
delegation consisted of about a dozen mem
bers, headed by former Senator McLaurin
of South Carolina, The committee urged
Immediate steps looking to congressional
action for this purpose In behalf of the
cotton Interests. The president discussed
the question with the delegation and stated
that he would take it up with men from
the cotton belt In congress. He assured
the committee that he would do all he
could to facilitate the movement
The committee later conferred with Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson.
School Children Arrested.
WARSAW, Feb. 20. A number of tha
older pupils of the high schools, who had

AFTER STANDARD OIL CO.
Kansas Producers Object to Renewal xt
Foster Lease on Osage Lands.
MAY MAKE INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION
Mlaaoarl, Kansas and Wisconsin leg
islatures May Look Into Methods
ot the Roekefeller
Combine,
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 20. On account of
the small attendance of members the
Kansas house today deferred Its con
sideration of the antl-discrlmlnatlon bill
until next Friday. It will be made a spe
cial order for that date and will be pushed
through as rapidly as possible. The Hol
dren bill, prohibiting the pumping of gas,
will be considered by the senate this week.
It Is conceded that these bills will pass
and that this will end the battle for the oil
producers, so far as legislation Is concerned.
Some action will be taken regarding further
Investigation of the Standard Oil company
In this state. It Is likely that Kansas will
make an Independent Investigation In ad
dition to the one promised by the govern
ment. If a state investigating committee Is
appointed attention will be given to the
charge that the Santa Fe railway Is inter
ested with the Standard Oil company In
working against the Kansas oil produc
ers. The senate today passed a resolution pro
testing against the extension of the Foster
leases In the Indian Territory. The protest
was telegraphed to President Roosevelt to
night. That much danger to the Kansas
oil refinery exists In a possible extension of
the leases was the view expressed by the
senate.
Objection to Foster Lease.
Senator Fltzpatrick introduced in the sen
ate a resolution calling upon the presi
dent, the secretary of the Interior and the
congress of the United States to hold up
and annul the "Foster lease" of the Osago
Indian reservation, which the secretary of
the Interior has declared was obtained by
fraud. Proceedings by the Standard Oil
company in Washington for a renewal of
the "Foster lease" have. It is said, caused
the oil producers of Kansas, who are be
hind the legislation aimed at that company,
more apprehension than anything else.
The Investigation of the Standard Oil
company's methods In Kansas, which the

Campbell Confers with President.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 Representative
Campbell of Kansas, the author of the res
olution providing for an Inquiry Into the
operations of the oil Interests of the coun
try, had an extended conference with Pres
ident Roosevelt today regarding the inves
tigation. 1 Mr. Campbell presented to the president
considerable information bearing upon the
matter which he has received since the
adoption of his resolution. He informed
the president he had received from the
speaker of the house of the Texas legis
lature a telegram urging him to request
the president and the Department of Com
merce and Labor , to extend the proposed
Inquiry to the methods of the Standard
In the Beaumont field of Texas. He also
told the president he had received hun
dreds of telegrams and letters from all
sections regarding the investigation. The
Standard OH company. Mr. Campbell In
formed the president, already was prepar
ing Its defense and would resist to the
utmost the government's Investigation. The
resumption by the company of the pur
chase of Kansas oil, he said, undoubtedly
was decided upon In vltw of the action
taken by the house of representatives In
requesting an investigation. It would not
surprise him either, he said. If the price
of the crude oil should be advanced grad
ually an account of the present agitation,
Mr. Campbell assured the president that
neither he nor the people of Kansas de
sired that any Injustice should b done
on either side of the question. The. pres
ident will have a conference soon with
James R, Garfield, commissioner of cor
porations, who will direct the inquiry. At
that conference a general plan of procedure
will be mapped out. The president already
has directed that It lie made as rigid, as
thorough nnd as prompt as possible.
Representative Hearst of New Tork Intro
duced a bill today placing pipe lines for
the transportation of oil under the Inter
state commerce act for regulation as "com
mon carriers."
