South Carolinian Declares He was Guilty of No Action Inconsistent With Honor or Obligation as Sena tor Imputea Attack to Hatred. Washington, Jan. 12. Greeted by applause iroiu the galleries when he entered the senate chamber to reply to President Roosevelt's remarks in respect to his connection with Oiegon timber land, Senator Tillman read his prepared remarks with little attempt at oratorical effect. lie was accorded careful attention by senators on both tides of the chamber, the public and private galleries being taxed to their full capacity. He declared that the president had been actuated by motives of malice and revenge In attacking his course in connection with the Coos Bay SENATOR TILLMAN. (Ore.) land grant, and argued that he was guilty of no action inconsistent with honor or his obligation as a n-m a tor. He charged that the president misquoted the Inspectors' report Tuk ing up the president's statement con ccrning Dorr, a land agent, making his filings through Reeder & Wntkins ot Marshfleld. Ore., Mr. Tillman fcaid; Says Dorr Was a Swindler. "It will be noted that I accused Dorr In the senate of being a swindler, ami asked the postolllce department to Is sue a fraud order against him. Duir declared in his circular: 'So sure ts Senator Tillman of our success that he has subscribed and paid the neces sary fees for a quarter section for him self and ten other sections for ten ot his nearest relatives.' It was this bold and outrageous falsehood mainly that caused me to denounce Dorr as a swindler as well, and to declare In the senate that he had no warrant for the ansertion. "Let us suppose for a moment that I was guilty of a falsehood In declaring that I had not undertaken to purchase any land. What did that have to do with Dorr's transparent and open use of the malls to Induce men to send blm money to purchase land? Dorr's declaring that I had paid the fees is an absolute falsehood, and the postof rice Inspectors, while they searched the records for entries at Coqullle, 'noted that Reeder & Watklns hud Died seveial hundred applications,' but nowhere mentioned that any had been filed lo my name or for ine. There fore the falsehood Is proven on Dorr, and yet the president declared the as sault which Senator Tillman made on Mr. Dorr was, according to the report of the Inspectors, a wanton assault made to cover up Senator Tillman own tiansactlons. Admits Considering Land Purchase "In doing this he makes a false dec laratlon, for the inspectors nowhere say any such thing as above quoted. which can be proven by an examlna tlon of their report. Now, about the lying. My letter of Feb. 15. of which the president has secured a photo graphic copy, antedated by four days my statement In the senate that I had not bought any land or undertaken to buy any, and the president considered this positive proof of falsehood. I did not say I hud not considered the put chase of land; 1 did not say I had not contemplated the purchase of land, be cause I luxl ilone both. I was perhaps disingenuous, but n mcinent's thought will convince any honest nilmled man that, as 1 hud nut signed any papers. had not paid any money, had taken nobody's receipt, the usual process by which one 'undertakes' to bnv land, I was speaking accurately and not false ly. Everything hinges on the ni"an ing or tn wi.rd 'undertakes and my use of It " Transaction With Lee. Senator Tiilmnn went Into details as to his tiuiiviutton with Lee. ami de dared Iap was empowered only to examine the land. After examining the proposition he said he became ton vlnced it whs a "very doubtful propo sitlon." until Mr. Lee showed him biter from Reeder ft Watklns. which Mr Tlllinim paid had been stolen from his desk, probably by seme of the se cret seniie sleuths. TAFT ON PROPERTY RIGHTS. Says Time Has Come When Line ot Limitation Must Be Drawn. Augss'.a. Ga.. Jas. 12 President Elect Talt was the guest cf the local bar association iast eight Mr. Talt i remarks on the United States supreme M.n fa'.trat'.ei much attention. In hU . Mr Taft asserted that the su yraaa it it pf cur present civilization tn ccme in the present and the ' ceding decades in the form ol . survival or destruction of the right it private property. "We have reached the time when we must recognize certain limita tlons," he said, "which previous condi tions did not require assertion of, in the form of a statutory law upon the use of private property wherever it is represented in combinations of cap ital. We must recognize that those combinations may be hurtful and it must fall to our profession, with argu ments in the courts by the Judges themselves, by the arguments of law yers in the legislatures, to lay down the line of limitation which shall In terfere as little as possible with the Individual freedom of property on the one hand and shall stay tho progress toward injurious combination and in Jurlous monopoly on the other. "This problem is now on and there fore I state it with solemnity and se riousness. We have got to work it out more or less by experiment, but in that working out we have got to de pend' on the clear headed, both at the bar, on the bench and in the legisla ture, to reach a solution. And I have no doubt it will be done." JACKS0N1 AN CLUB BAMQUETAT OMAHA, Bryan and Shallenberger Among the List ot Speakers. Omaha, Jan. 12.
