" "When wo were seated In the rear room Cowle said with some excitement that 'There was-h , I to pay at the board meeting. ' He \dded 'that , ho wits afraid the investigating iommlttco 'would find out about his trip to Chicago , but thatho Intended to keep a stiff backbone. He asked with another oath why I sent him the money in n draft. He waii afraid , ho said , to have It cashed In Omaha and had' sent It to his brother In Now York. Cowlp added that' he- had kept the draft for nearly a week because of the furor the papers were making regarding the- blackboard and Venetian 'blind deal , meaning by that remark the articles ijp- poartng In The lice c'f December 22 and ! . ' . "Tho appointment of an Investigating committee frightened Cowlo so. " continued Mr. IluckmliiBtcr , "that ho regretted having sent the' draft to New York and determined to telegraph his brother to send it back , so that I could redeem it and pay him the money In cash. Accordingly the following mcs'sago was FCiit : " 'J. A. Cowle , 2021 Ilurgland street , Brooklyn.Do not attend to business gent you. Return all papers. AIITH. ' "Cowlo then suggested that I should call upon Member Thomas , who was In with the good people' nnd wight be ableto tell me what they propcsed to do. Ho said ho could rely on McDonald's silence , but ho was un easy abut Sears. lie said that Attorneyn Gaines , Duffle and Wright had been ques tioning Soars , and whllo the latter claimed that ho had lied out of 11 all , there wafl utlll caliso for anxiety.

"On January 4 I aw Cowle and ho told mo that It was all right. His telegram , he ( aid , had headed off the cashing of the draft nnd hU brother had notified him that the 'papers would all be returned. ' He showed mo further two pages of typewritten copy containing charges against two members nf the board relative to the purchase nf school Bites.

"Cowle added that ho now .felt . compara tively wife , ns Dbdgb would never dare camt1 from Chicago , and ho thought hU tracks pretty well covered up. "HcgardliiR the matter of employing law- to 'defend him , Cowlo f > ald that he had fust had a long conference- with John L. Webster and that the latter bad advised ! hu retention of I'rank Hansom. He added : hat Hansom wanted big money , moro than "Little Strokes Felt Great Oaks" TJie giants of the forest must yield at last to the continual blows of the tuoods- rrun. When the human blood has become clogged and impure the little drops of Hood's Sarsaparilla , properly taken , felt the oak of bad blood. had come to him through all the recent con tracts , and that he had tried to get HCFB and Sears to pay part of the expense. Those members had refused , Cowlo said , and he expressed the hope that they would gel the limit of the law. ' "In regard to the defense of my own con tract , " remarked the detective , varying his sensational recital with a bit of humor , "that Is being taken core of by Attorney Thomas of the board. Ho hasn't sent In a bill yct ( so 1 don't know what his at tentions have consisted of. " On January C , Mr. Buckmlnster said , he received two visitors at his hotel In Omaha , Arthur Cowle and John McDonald , archi tect. Cowle was In good spirits because ho' had Just received the draft from New York. "I congratulated him , " said the de tective , "and asked what we had better do with It. Cowle remarked : 'After this In vestigation has been started I'm afraid to cash It and 1 guess you feel the same Way. ' Dcc-lilc lo Hunt the Draft. "So wo decided to burn the draft and' Cowlo pulled down the curtain , leaving the room In a half-darkness. I closed the Iran- Bom and locked the door. We touched a match to the paper and Cowlo threw the ashes Into the cuspidor , stirring them about with his lead pencil. "Then wo went down and got a drink , " concluded the detective. "In the saloon , " answesrcd Mr. Buck- minster , In response to a question , "Cowle said thnt he wanted somebody to go to Chicago cage lo put some backbone Into Dodge , and to pull off Chlnlquy. He asked If I could go nnd said ho would stand the expense. 1 promised to do what I could and to let him know the next night ( Sunday ) whether I had any luck. We agreed on a code , Chln lquy should be known as 'Brown , ' and Dodge as 'Black. ' "Tho next night I sent the following mes sage from Chicago : 'Black not home ; Brown wants $ lia. ' Cowlo" sent me tha following message In return ; 'Have no knowledge of Brown and no "Interest In his affaire. ' "When I came back to Omaha , on Janu ary 10 , McDonald came to my room and said that Cowle- had sent him because ha was afraid to como himself. He said that Cowle was feeling badly and was quite a lit tle scared. I talked with McDonald about his contract and he told me that the first one had coat him a good deal , but that he didn't have to pay anything for the second. "On January 12 I met Cowlo and Frank Uansom. at the Merchants' 'bar add after some conversation Cowle called Ranso'm to one side. When the men returned" Ransom had written a note addressed to C. V. Gal lagher and posted It by a messenger , urging him to make haste. I don't know whether ho got an answer or not. "Cowie had with him a list of the per sona who , It was said , would be summoned before the commtttee and ho and Ransom Indulged In much speculation as to what each one might testify. Then Hansom loft and Cowlo stayed at the hotel for dinner as my gue-et. CowlcllfilKalcH Sulrlilr. "Ho wenl up to my room after dinner and I noticed that there was a revolver In his hip pocket. * I asked him why he car ried a weapon and sitting on the side of the bed Cowle told me , in an agitated- way , that he had determined the night before to end his life. He hud written a number of , farewell notes , he said , but after think ing It over decld.e'd to wait until he had taken his revenge' certain of his ene mies. "On January 11 I was summoned before the committee and refused to testify. The 1 same night I met Cowle and he told mo 1 I had done Juat right. He wanted me to go | out to Ransom's house with him , as he I wanted the lawjer to send a reassuring | message to his wife. We took a Knrnam ' street car and got off at Thirty-fourth atroet Just In time to meet Ransom coming out of Ills residence. After Cowle had ' talked | with the lawyer privately I nscomp'anled the ( former to hla own home nt Fi rty-thlrd and I Suward streets , walking the whole distance. On the way Cowlo talked excitedly about thu Investigation and we had only gone a t short distance when we observed some one following us. Cowlo said : 'I wonder If that ; la cne of those detectives , ' nt the sam " time drawing his .revolver , Wo i stopped and waited until the stranger passed. : : iM | ( in for lluyivuril.

Members Black and Tenl were on the stand , but nothing developed toward connecting them In nny way- with thu Irregular dealings of the old majority.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. A spirited df- bate on the Philippine question occupied the attention of the senate for nearly three hours today , Ucrry , democrat of Arkansas , first addressed the senate In support of the resolutions recently Introduced by Uacon , dcmccrat of Georgia , regarding the disposi tion cf the Philippines. Ho was-followed by Pettlgrow In support of his resolution of Inquiry. Pcttlgrcw was very bitter In his attack upon the admin istration. Wolcott of Colorado replied to Pottlgrew , scathingly arraigning the South Dakota sen ator for the attitude he had assumed on the 1'hlllpplnu question. Ho declared his belief that If Agulnaldo himself occupied the scat In the senate occupied by Pottlgrew , repre senting the people of South Dakota , who had cent their sons as soldiers to the Philip pines , ho would be tco patriotic , too devoted to the Interests cf the country to assume the attitude assumed by thu present South Dakota senator. Wolcott adverted also to the speech re cently delivered by Ileverldgo of Indiana , sharply criticising It for the spirit of greed which seemed to animate the senator In making such a deliverance. At the conclusion of the Philippine dis cussion Hawllns made an elaborate argu . ment In opptsltlon to the proposed flnnn- ! ! clal legislation. IVtllKi-iMV DrclliifH Hour's Hci | > iCNt. At the conclusion of the routine business the resolution of Pettlgrcw calling on the secretary of war for certain Information re garding the Philippine Insurrection was laid before the senate. Pettlgrew declined Hoar's request to substltuto fnr his resolution on the same subject the one presented by Hoar , Ucrry of Arkansas had rend the resolution offered by Uacon of Georgia and also that of Uoverldgo of Indiana. Thbao who desired to' discuss the Philip ! pine question , Uerry said , were met by the objection that they were aiding those who were in arms against the United States and were responsible for the loss of life among our soldiers. He regarded this position as absolutely unwarranted and declared that no man who was a man would be deterred from speaking by charges that were abso lutely unfounded by facts. Uerry believed that the two resolutions which he had read from the desk fairly represented the views of the two great parties In this country. ! He was certain that the resolution cf Hev- j crUlgo reflected the sentiment and feelings of the administration , because It had been favorably commented upon by the adminis tration speakers and newspapers throughout the country. The resolution had been en dorsed , he said , by the administration lead ers , yet It conferred an authority nnd a power upon the president of this country as absolute as was possessed the czar. of Russia. Pettlgrow resumed his speech on the gen eral ; Philippine question , his text being 'his resolution of Inquiry. Those who deny free dom to others , he eald , cannot' long retain It for themselves. Such a policy would bo the destruction of the republic.1 Ho'entered upon a shnrp attack on the treaty made by the Americans with the sultan of Sulu , charging that polygamy and slavery were riot only endorsed , but maintained by the United'- Stages through the' Xreaty 'with0 the sultan. Hi declared that' thf. republican party was going out of power as the cham pion of slavery and a repudlator of the declaiation of Independence. In UuXiiinc of Civilization. Egypt , said Pettlgrew , had been brought under English "civilizing sway. " Ae n re sult over 3r > 00 minions of the English gov ernment were wringing taxes from the oppressed people In Egypt In the name of civilization. Ireland , Catholic Ireland , was also bowed down under the English yoke. If we desired to make war on Catholics , however , wo could rind them nearer home. . Aeldo from all these considerations , Pet tlgrow argued that the Americans could not dominate the Philippines. The Aryan race could no more live In the tropics than could n polar bear. Kipling's poem , "Tho White Man's Durden , " he characterized aa con temptible. Turning to the commercial side of the question , he'asked how we wore tb tfot rich supporting a-big standing army In the-1'hll- Ipplnes In order that people who earn'i > cents a day might ttade With us. In China j ho had seen 3,500 Chinamen working In a j cotton mill for wages that averaged $3.50 a | month in sliver and boarding themselves. i Yet our worklngmen 'wcro ' to be asked to I compete with 6,000,000 of such workers In i the Philippines to pay taxes to support i an army cf occupation , to subsidize ships to [ carry trade , In order that the trusts of this i country might exploit the labor of the I'hil- | Ipplnes. Mr. Pettlgrew eald that If his program - ' gram could bo carried out u would be : Klrst , to withdraw our troops' ; second , to ' allow the Philippines to set up an Independent - pendent government , and third , ho would ' say , "Hands off ; this Is neutral territory. " j - "You would not do that without the con- sent of the Filipinos ? " Inquired Spooner. j "I would not , " replied the South Dakota I senator. "To hold the Philippines without their consent gave the llo to every Fourth of July oration ever delivered In this country. " ' Woli-ott CIIIIMCH it Stir. | When Pettlgrow concluded there was a general stir In the senate as Wolcott of j Colorado arose to discuss the rcsolutl'n. I Any general dlseiiFslon of our policy toward ! the Philippines seemed to him out of place at this time , Our first duty , ho said , was ' to quell the Insurrection nnd ho would not have replied at all gave for the "remnrkablo | nnd Intemperate" utterances of the senator | from South Dakota. No better dcmonstra- | tlon of the value of the sonata an a forum than thin opeech. There wore In this country - try 70,000.000 people , good , bad and Indif ferent. They were mostly good , but scat tered through every community ( hero were ' the discontented and unhappy , people who had not been successful and who viewed , ' with suspicion all those whose llve had ! been crowned with success , who behind t every good action looked for n lurking eln- Inter purpose. It was fitting that such i people should be represented here. i "And I know of no man HO fitted to speak | for them BH the senator from Houth On- ! kota , " said Wolcott , turning his ryes upon Pettlgrcw , who sat close to him and who steadily returned the gaze of his assailant. "During all the years I have known him , " continued Wolcott , "I never know him to i say a kind or friendly word about u Mingle i person or a single cause. It IK not only valuable thut euuh persons us I huvo men tioned should be represented here , thut \ their views fihould be ) aired and ventilated , | but It Is of great Importance thut those ' i views may bervu as a warning and n de terment to the young men who are growing : to manhood and upon whom eventually the 1 responsibility of government will fall. They . should see how Important It IB thut they j should cultivate a goad digestion , a hope | ful heart and a cheerful , kinj deposition. " I tli-riinecN llnviNo Inflocni-o. , Wolcatt said he did not share the sug- ' gestlon * that utterances hero had any influ- t uce on the inaurgenti. II Aguinaldo bad I hlH rnr to the ground he must ku-w how utterly trifling Is the captious cavilling thnt went on here. There was not an honest democrat who did not admit that If his party wcro In power the first thing to ho done would be to crush the Insurrection. "If our soldiers In Manila will take core of AgUlrtaldo and his sympathizers as they nrc doing , " he said , "our people at homo will take care of A'gutimldo's ' sympathizers In the senate ami In the country. " Wolcott recalled Pottlgrew's statement that If ho ( Pcttigrowwere ) n Plllplno he would Pght until he was gray against the aggregations of ( he t'nlted Stales. "I have no doubt he would fight , " re marked Wolcott , sarcastically , "If he wcro a Tngalo. It Is possible they might tnko him by adoption. I can picture him now- clad principally in the genial , pleasant amlto for which he lu noted ( laughter ) , blazing away with his blunderbuss against everyone ono In sight. A suggestion that the sen ator nnd Agulnaldo Inaugurate an exchange ) might , for the purpose of experiment , not be without Its attraction. If the exchange should -take place i nnd It Agulnaldo , lirnvn , loyal and patriotic , stood hero representing the state of South Dakota , whose sons had bled nnd died In defense of the Hag , bo would not bo found traducing the prcsldeut of the United States and slandering nnd maligning the soldiers nt the front , charg ing them with belug swindlers and depre dators. " The resolutions lei which Pettlgrew had been speaking Wplcott declared were of no Importance , because they were engulfed In the broader rcsqlutlon which called for all Information from the president. They wcro petty putterlngs , which contained the Inti mation that there had been crooked and dis honest action. ItenilN from I'rc-xlilfiit'M MONNIIKI * . No steps had been taken , Wolcott said , that could not rcllect honor on the people of the United Slates. He read from the president's message the part referring to the duty of the United States after the war was over , "to open schools and churches , " to "foster trade and Industry , " and con cluding with the words that It was "their liberty , not our power , which wo are seek ing to enhance. " "That , " said Wolcott , "Is the last ptiBUc utterance of the prrsldcnt , whose treatment of the Filipinos Is described by the senator j from South Dakota as 'brutal and cruel. ' " Wo had taken the Philippines , ho eald , i not ns a conquest , but as one of the highest duties we owed the human race. We had entered Into the war with Spain because wo could not listen to the cries of distress that came from Cuba. When we Inaugu rated the war no one dreamed of the Phil ippines ; but when It clcsed so quickly and so victoriously we found 5,000,000 people suffering from oppression one ! cruelty , Spain defeated and bankrupt and the Philippine ) islands Hooting derelicts. We had taken them because to have allowed them to drift helplessly Into the power of another wuuld have raised International complication ! ! . Wo would have been compelled to take them had they been as bleak and barren as the. desert of Sahara. Wolcott said wo might bo compelled to keep the Islands'Indefinitely. . He then di rected his attention to the speech delivered by Uevorldge last week , saylns that the senator from Indiana had told of a 'iountalu of gold , of coffee , of hemp , of corn , of the rich and tempting valley of Luzon nnd he had said our commerce by the retention of the Islands would be richly rewarded. Jlnxe iinil Sonlld Aruruini-iil. "Mr. President , " Bald Senator Wolcott , "tho argument of-the senator from Indiana is base and sordid. This war , If we con sider first our duty to the people of the Islands , Is the noblest ever fought , but If our purpose In retaining them Is that they nro rich , the war will go down as miserable nnd degraded a erie as over disgraced the history of' the middle ; nges. " There was a disposition , ho continued , re ferring again-to Ileverldge'a speech , to treat " tlo | questions | nvoj ed'\vlth a sentimentality "somewhat inamUlt ) . . ill was possible that wo were a ejiosen people as Beverldgc had said , whom God AlthlgHty had made a trustee for the civilization of the world. But If so , we would need to treble our fleet of vessels , wo would have to Join England and Germany In the partition of China , we must needs seize Madagascar and Port Arthur. "My own Idea , of the mission of America , " said the senator , "is that It Is the last hope of republics ; thrvt our broad , largo fertile aiea will gradually fill up by the admission cf the foreigners and oppressed of other lands , and that'll ) days of peace wo will work out the .noblest and highest social problems. We will say to the rulers of the old world : 'You may hold your thrones as long as the people will permit , but this con tinent shall forever bo devoted to liberty ; you shall not step your foot upon It. ' Thut is our destiny. I bellovo It Is Idle to talk of our being God's chosen people. " IlovorlilKC Startli'M Wolcott. Wolcott said yho' was startled by 'Ucver- idgo's statement that charity did not begin nt home , but was filtered In from the out side. With the municipal corruption that all admitted existed , it was ridiculous to talk of appointing a lot of Indiana politi cians In the Philippines and letting the re flected glory of our republic shine across the SCHB to make their administration pure and holy. If that was so then the Islands would bo worth millions , though they only con sisted of lava beds and the craters of dead volcanoes. But , Wolcott said , we were bound to make many mistakes and before we finished we might bc-llovc wo had taken over from Spain a hope for Incorrlglbles. "But , " concluded Wolcott , "In the closing year of this century , when the world Is growing moro beneficent , when the rich nro growing richer nnd the poorer classes richer too , the time will come If we do our duty , when the nun which now shines so brightly over our own country will show Its reful gent rays over dlotant countries. " Pottlgrew replied briefly to Wolcott. The latter had Ftated that ho had never a kind wonl for h ! associates in the senate. Yet Pcttigrow said his relations with his col i leagues had been mest pleasant. The sen- ' nto could not hldo behind the largo person- ! ' nllty cf the senator .from Colorado. I "I have not epcnt much time , " said Pottl grew , "In lauding him. although I am ready ] to confess he has a largo voice. " | Marvi'I to I'HIlKi-i'W. i j Ho did not think the senator's attack upon ' I himself was worthy of reply. Ho did mar vel , however , nt the division In the ranks ' | of the Imperialists. The senator from In- ( llanii ( Beverldge ) had said the motive of 1 fxpanslon was "greed. " The senator from Colorado ( Wolcott ) said It was "philan thropy. " The latter was the motive which actuated Spain In her conquest of the west- 1 ern world. Her pretext was civilization ! and religious zeal. Those were the motives ; ! ' Plzzairo , who butchered people right and j | loft. i ' ' Proceeding , Pettlgrew pointed out the I names of many illiutrlous men who had opposed the policy of their home government 1 to aggressions abrpad , notably Fox and Pitt , who had denounced the course of King George against the American colonies , j "It Ix these champlona ef freedom , " said he , "who dared to denounce the course of i their governments. " i At the conclusion nf Pettlgrow'B state- mcnt an order was made , ut the request of ' Lodge , that the rejolutlonp under connldcra- ' tlon go over until tomorrow without losing their places. .

The octinto com- mlltco on territories ttdny considered a bill erentltiR thre-o Judicial districts for Alaska and for a revision of the laws of the t'nlted ' States applying to the territory. A number of Alaska men were present with the committee and made HiiggcHllons which they desired to bo Incorporated In the law. They were asked If there wno any sentiment In favor of dividing the territory nt Mount St. Kllac. making the southeastern portion the territory of Soward. The reply was that the people believed such a division would bo necessary at some future lime. The Ju- dlclul bill was referred to a sub-committee. j nisrrs.s tiovioit.vMK.vi' POII HAWAII. Illtt K\l > lnlll * IMll-IHIHI'N Of lllMINO 11111 L ° rufH ICnrly Action. WASHINGTON' . Jan. IGTho bill provld- Ing for a form of government for Hawaii was taken up today by the house committee on territories and Mr. Illtt , a member of the Hawaiian committee , explained Its gen eral purposes and need of early action. Hltt fcald the political drstlny of Hawaii was no longer an open iiucstlon and It was most desirable to bring all coiilllctH of authority to n close and establish a stable system ai soon ns possible. He took up the three main objections raised to the territorial form of govorn- ! | ! mcnt proposed and answered them. The pro- I posed property qualification for voters for ] i members of the senate Jarred sonn-what on some of our sensibilities and customs , Hilt eald , but It was In line with the local senti ment and usage In Hawaii and the desire had been to yield to the reasonable dcslrci of the people on the Islands. The reference of contested election cases to the courts and the provision giving to the governor the appointment of Judges was also urged by the people of the Island. The people of the Islands dreaded any plan which would colonize Hawaii with olllee1 holders from Washington nnd they therefore - fore wanted their own government to make the appointments.
