t hla may not oily It resonblr Inferred)
from the failure of the committee to make
It, report, but from remark mJ br cor
tln member of that committee. Three
leading member, wer.) inked today If the
committee, was harmonloti a, to that part
of I he work sceoTiplished and each aisle
neai'.y the caiea tnawer:
"Wall, nearly ao."
One member who itemed leia restricted
than th, other waa frank enough to admit
that the member did not all agree a to
the provision, and that thia waa largely the
reanon for I ho delay In reporting the bill
and In fact In completing It.
But even a mora direct ctatement than
thin may be mada on th, baala of a remark
dropped by a member of that committee. It
ta that unless some heroic action It taken
pretty aoon there will be a majority and a
minority report aubmltted by thla com
mittee. The line of demarkatlon wa, drawn
when, ilth certain member, of the com
mittee absent aat week, the other, repudi
ated the original . resolution of the com
mittee In adopting the Nebraska law aa
a foundation for Ite labor, and substituted
the Kansaa bill, advocated In the most
strenuous term, by the Union Pacific Rail
road company. When these member learned
of this there were aome pretty warm
thing, said, ao the report goes, and vn
geance sworn.
Now In holding out to the last, persist
ently refusing to be whipped Into lino ty
the railroad lath. It la aald that these In
aurgenta have determined never to agr?e
to the bill which la about to be completed
as the product of the majority of the com
mittee' and that they will, therefore, sub
mit a report of their own an the basis of
the Nebraska law. Of course the members
are reticent In discussing this -phase of
the case.
While refusing to name cny exact time.
all the mrmber, of the committee Inter
viewed upon the subject say the bill ought
to be ready for Introduction about Wednea.
day. Thla Is said with an evident mental
reservation and It la feared that the bill
will not be forthcoming before the latter
part of the week. Sear, made thia prom
ise: "It will be ready aome time thla week,
This Is the best I csn give you."
There 1, a great deal of re,Me,snea, on
the part of serious-minded members for
the introduction of this bill.
? Adjoarnnaeat Mar Bo Mistake.
Whether the legislature acted wisely In
adjourning trr a week to give the revenue
rommlttee time to draft a measure re
main, to be seen.
"The recommendation of a revenue meas
ure that would be for the best Interest
of the state; that would provide for the
wiping out of the atate debt; that would
provide tor the taxing of all taxpaylng
bodies and corporation, on an equal basis
for all purposes, working Injustice to none.
doing Justice to all would stand forever
as a monument to the citizenship, the
Statesmanship, the Integrity and the ever
lasting glory of every member of that
eomtiittee." said a legislator today. "It
ha, been a week of opportunity for every
member of that committee."
' The opinion of those at the state capital,
however, who have watched the proceed
ings from the first la divided as to whether
the commiltoe has taken advantake of Its
opportunity. 80 far ak the public generally
la eonoerned the committee ha, been un
hindered and uninterrupted In It, work. It
' Is composed of representative men whose
blllty and whose knowledge of the state
- reed, 1, unquestioned, and' the publio know
jt. The railroads, however, maintained
their lobby here during the entire week,
put whether the bill will have the ear
marks of the railroads Is also a question.
The committee has given out no au
thoritative atatement and the reports of
Ita finings published by the papers,' though
correct, had to be secured from individual
tnember of th committee or from those
tn possession of the facta. The committee
-en many subjects ha, been of many minds,
but the majority haa ruled and an agree
ment exists that will make It almost Im
possible for the public to ever learn on
what Important subjects the members dis
agreed. This agreement Is intended to
hold good through the discussion of the
MU In the legislature and the fight for
the passage of the bill as recommended
v.111 be a unit by the committee.
Railroads Improve Opportunities.
The adjournment, for which In the sen
ate at least, the railroads or those who are
friendly to the interests of the railroads,
fought desperately, and which would have
been defeated had it not been for the
smooth work of 8enator Brown who, when
his ballot would have tied the vote, voted
the opposite from that for which he had
cpoken, in order to tie able to move a
reconsideration, has been of vast import-in
oe to the railroads. And the railroads
have not failed to take advantage of the
opportunity accorded them. They have been
free 'to wosk as they saw fit; they have
liad time I sow seeds of prejudice against
. terminal taxation for city purposes and
they have been free to work untrammeled
ct unhindered. And it a legislator suc
cumbed to their Influence, by argument,
there has been no on, here to show up
the demerits of their cause. ,
As. the new revenue measure does not
provide for the taxing of railroad terminals
for olty purposes, upon the Ten Eyck bill
will be aa hard a fight, perhaps, as upon
the entire revenue measure. At least that
is the impression one get, from the leg
islator, who have visited the capital dur
ing the week. It is the Impression of many
that - a fight on this bill will give the
Dougla delegation aa opportunity that
seldom come to a - Dougla, delegation.
While It was stated Immediately after the
alleged public debate of the tax question
tn which John N. Baldwin talked for two
hour, and had hla argument, ihot to
plecoa by Mr. Mcintosh In twenty minutes,
generously given him by the committee,
"that all the debate In the world would
1 not change thing,, for it Is. all et for
the railroads," the railroads are not sure
of their ground on this bill. , It has been
called to mind that, many legislators are
here with appropriation bills In their pock
ets and if these are not allowed it meana
political death, ao far a, such legislators
are concerned. Bo the Dougla, delegation
' has aoraewhat of a club in ita own hand
' with which to argue . again, t the railroads.
And ther, are an even dozen votea down
here from Dougla, county. And It I, be
ginning to be a question with the railroad.

of the committee. The only Information
he wa, able to give was that the rom
mlttee tad decided to tax the companies on
their gross receipts, but how, this mem
ber did not understand. The valuation of
real estate at its cash value, with the
penalty clause attache J, Is favorably com
mented on by members here.
The legislature will have to wrestle with
the county treasurer seal proposition, as
the subcommittee to which this was re
ferred waa agklnat it.
In the meantime there has been intro
duced . In the house 229 bills and in the
senate 144, which will at least take up
some of the time of the various commit
tees. Night sessions are in sight.
Legislative Gossip.
Chairman Warren of the house revenue
and taxation committee says his commit'
tee has not yet considered the Omaha Real
Estate exchange bill, H. R. 171, and there
fore must bold on to it a little while
longer. The plan la to have this bill con
sidered and acted on when the revenue
bill la taken up.
Despite the fact that th legislature had
adjourned for a week and that the asylum
and publio lands and buildings' committee.
made Junketing trips over the state In the
meantime, no atanding committee reported
to the house today. In this connection it
should be mentioned that bat seven new
bills were Introduced In the house and
eighteen In the senate. The week s Interim
aid not proauce tne train 01 Din, tnat was
expected, or rather, feared.
McAllister of Deuel will Introduce his
bill to reapportion the state Into legis
lative districts, probably tomorrow. The
bill I completed and It author desires
to consult with some of his colleagues as
to certain of its provisions before submit
ting it. The measure Is much the same
aa the Evans reapportionment bill of
last session. It will be remembered that
Mr. McAllister, through The 3ee, the first
week of tiie session, announced his lnten
tlon of Introducing such a bl!
Nelson of Douglas said today that the
Omaha charter bill probably would be
ready for presentation In the house tomor
row. As the Douglas county delegation
has been cogitating on thla measure since
before the legislature convened It Is sup
posed to at least meet the approval of that
contingent.

WASHINGTON, Feb. . The Llttlefleld
anti-trust bill wa received by the senate
from the house and referred to the com
mittee on Judiciary.
The army appropriation bill wa sent to
conference, Messrs. Proctor (Vt.), Quarles
(Wis.) and Cockrell (Mo.) being named as
conferee.
Mr. Carmack (Teun.) addressed the sen
ate on the Rawlins resolution calling for
the records of courtmartlal of officer,
serving In the Philippines.
The best army that ever trod the earth,'
Mr. Carmack declared, could be sent to a
distant tropical land, but when It became
known that crimes will go unpunished,
awful consequences will ensue. Just these
consequence, have existed, he said, and
the charges have been met with stoical an J
cynical indifference. -
He asserted that there was an organized
system of torture fh the Philippines.
"It Is a further fact," said Mr. Carmack.
"that though thl - was notorious through
out the1 whole army, It was continued for
months and year. No effort wa made to
suppress it, and no single torturer was
ever punished for the crime.
"It Is a fact that men of high character
and standing, the representatives of lead
ing republican administration newspapers,
went In person to 'the commanding general
and told him they had not only seen
perfect orgy of looting, but that they had
seen wounded prisoners butchered before
their very eyes, and though he did not deny
It, he Ignored It.
Testimony of Newspaper Man.
"It is further true that this fact was
brought to the attention of the secretary of
war in a letter over the signature of Rob
ert M. Collins, the chief agent and repre.
sentative of the Associated Press In the
Philippines, and It did not suggest the pro
priety of any inquiry or any investiga
tion."
Murder by American soldier, in the
Philippines, had become too common, he
said, to bear Investigation, which answer
seems entirely satisfactory "to our noble
and generous and humane secretary , of
war."
Courts-martial In the Philippine, had
been a travesty on Justice, he said, and
he cited the case of Lieutenant Preston
Brown, whom be charged with murdering
an unarmed and unresisting native, and
whose sentence of five years bad been
mitigated by the president to a nominal fine
and a alight reduction in rank.
To every wicked, vicious and depraved
ruffian in the army, he said, the order of
General Jacob Smith to kill and burn In
Samsr meant that ihcre waa no law, no
restraint and no punishment, and yet the
president calmly survey the ruin he haa
wrought, "and, like other great imperlel
Ists, he is astonished at his own modera
tlon." 1:..
He inquired how It happened that the
president, who had declared hie intention
to probe 'crime vln the Philippine, never
beard of the Captain Brownell case when
Father Auguetln was iortursJ until he
died. ' -. ' ' -
Former Attitude
ot President.
The president,' la a speech, while governor
of New York.' had said that our Indifference
to the welfare 'of the people of Alaska bad
made them prefer annexation to Oreat
Britain, and the same condition wouli re
sult If we showed like indifference n the
Philippine. He declared the Filipino were
starving. The same vigllame that cacble
the president to discover them, "a en-
Joying the greatest prosperity," he eald.
should cause him to see that they are
it arvlng." '. '
"Time," he said In conclusion, "will dem
onstrate the folly ot thl: bus.ness," and
he hoped It would find som cure "for the
blunder we have made."
The resolution then went over, and the
statehood bill was taken up, Mr. Kean (V.
J.) continuing his remark in opposition
to the measure.
Mr. Rawlins, answering some reference
of Mr. Kean to the Mormons, eald that In
Salt Lake City the non-Mormons are glad
to aid In electing Mormon to Important
political office because of their desire to
give to the municipality good government.
Certain member of the Mormon church,
he ralJ, by long habit., were disposed .to
yield to the Influence of prominent official
In the church. "It Is not to be denied that
their Influence 1 very considerable," aald
he, "but there was still a large element
among the Mormon who relent the idea
of such Interference." s
Polyarajny and Statehood.
Mr. Kean said the people of the United
States are opposed to polygamy, and mean
In every way to stamp it out.
Answering Mr. Nelson, Mr. Kean said
the Mormon who drifted from Idaho to
Mexico would probably return to the Uni
ted State and mingle In the politic of
Arlxono and attempt to usurp the author
ity of that state should It be admitted.
Mr. Hale- Interrupted to remark that
every time thl phase of the subject I
reached It presents some new information,
and before anything further Is don he
thought somebody should submit amend
ments In order to have an expression of the
feeling ot the senate on this subject and
bring It determinated before the senate
for It action; '
Mr. Kean sail he would offer an amend
ment of thl, kind.
In the courso of Mr. Kean' remark Mr.
Patterson interrupted to read from a
speech made by th president at Las Vegas,
N. M., upon tbe occasion of the rough rid
ers reunion, in whicu ne is saia to nave
favored the admission of New Mexico a.
a state, and would go to Washington and
work for such a bill.
Mr. Kean declared that thla did not put
him on record a favoring the omnlbu bill
Mr. Patterson thought the president, be
ing then a distinguished republican leader,
having enthusiastically pledged himself In
iavor ot New Mexico's admission, opposi
tion to th omnlbu, bill should vanlih.
Says Maojrlty Favor Bill.
Mr. Elkln, declared that thirty-three
democrats and seventeen or eighteen re
publicans favoreJ the omnibus bill, while
thirty-eight republicans opposed it, and he

PRESIDENT PLAl'S TRUMPS
Evf kifellcr Tele cram Said to Have een
Given Out rtt White Home,
MAKES HIM MASTER OF THE SITUATION
Interference ot standard Oil Presi
dent BelleTed to Assure Paaa;e
of 1)111 Hesalatlnc
the Trails.
WASHINGTON, Feb.. 9. With one blow
straight from the shoulder President Roose
velt knocked out the Standard Oil trust,
ssys a special to the Chicago Record
Herald. It was the president who gave
to the public the new that representative,
of the oil monopoly bad been In Wash
ington trying to defeat all anti-trust leg
islation, and that telegrams had been re
ceived by senators signed John D. Rocke
feller, urging that the anti-trust act now
pending be either emasculated or killed.
This Btroko of publicity on the part of
the president has raised a storm in Wash
ington and has rondered It morally certain
that such, legislation as the administra
tion desires will be passed before March
4. The mere fact that the head of the
Standard OU trust Is using his Influence
against the pending messure Is sufficient to
Insure success. Mr. Rockefeller, what
ever his personal virtues may be. Is not
dearly loved by tho average member of
congress of by the public at large. Of all
the truBta In the country the oil trust Is
the one which has the least respect here
and which would stand the smallest chance
of ..having its wishes gratified In legisla
tion. Senators 1VI11 Not Own It.
Though the episode ha raised a storm
In Washington, and created a condition ot
mind In which the daring president is
master of the situation, and will get what
he wants from congress without tbe nec
essity ot calling an extra session, there
are still aome phase of the affair which
are not easy to understand. In the first
place no copy of the alleged telegram
from Mr. Rockefetler has been seen. It
1 said, and President Roosevelt is au
thority for tbe statement, that half a doten
such . telegrams have been received by
senators. So far no senator can be found
who Is willing to admit that he wa one
of the half dozen. According to. rumor,
the little missives expressive of Mr. Rock
efeller' desire to have all trust legisla
tion "stopped"' were duly delivered to Sen
ators Aldrlch, Halo, Kean, Spooner, Hanna
and Depew. All have denied having re
ceived the telegrams. There 1 circum
stantial evidence that messages of thl
character were delivered to two or three
senators, and no one Is surprised that the
recipients should wish- to appear before
the house as being In Mr. Rockefeller's
confidence and good graces to the extent
that he would select them as objectives
of his congressional campaigning. Mr,
Rockefeller's friendship might be an awk
ward thing to explain to one's constitu
ents. ...
Consrreasmen Resent Message.
A special to tbe St. Lout Republic say:
John D. Rockefeller or a "wicked partner"
ha supplied the sensation ot the hour, and
ha made It absolutely certain that the
Department ot Commerce bill will pass,
with the amendment Inserted by the con
ference committee of congress, providing
for publicity on the lines advocated by At
torney General Knox.
While there 1 a great deal of mystery
regarding the alleged Rockefeller telegram
to senators, asking them to defeat th
publicity of the Department 'of Commerce
bill and while most of the members of the
senate discredit the report on the general
principle that Mr. Rockefeller Is too adroit
a man to resort to such open methods In
influencing legislation, there is no room
for a successful denial of the fact that
telegrams were sent to both member of
the senate and bouse; that they were signed
"John D. Rockefeller;" that they were sent
with the, acquiescence of Mr. Rockefeller
and that, if any mistake as to Mr. Rocke
feller's wishes in the matter was made, It
was In attaching hi name to the tele
gram and not that of some one represent
ing him.
It is stated here that It Is not at all
likely that Mr. Rockefeller will go to the
extent ot entering a denial ot the fact
that the telegram was sent for him, and
with his entire approval.
A number ot congressmen who resent
bitterly such an Insolent message 'to the
lawmakers pointed out that the receiving
ot a telegram is not proof of It genuine
ness. The name of the sender may have
been forged and such a message mlgbt
have been wired aa a ruse or political play
for the purpose of securing earlier action
on the anti-trust law.
The Llttlefleld bill passed the house Sat
urday afternoon, and It Is pointed out that
there waa no urgent need for a telegram
to the aenate not to act upon It. A letter
from New York would reach the senators
before th bill could get to that branch of
congress.
There are some consideration connected
with the publication ot the telegram which
are not lost sight of. One senator re
marked this evening that It was certainly
remarkable that coupled with It I an au
thorized statement from tbe White House
that unless there Is trust legislation there
will be ad extra session of congress.
Although this senator did not make a
positive statement to this effect, be Indi
cated that It was entirely possible that tbe
administration had desired the publication
of the telegram and given tt publicity
through some of it representative, In the
enate.
It this should be the fact, or If It should
be generally believed to be the fact , by
trust magnates, the political significance
of such a development would be very great
and might have a very important bearing
on the action of the next national repub
lican convention.
