NATAL BILlI 1H THE HOl'SB
Oeaeral Debate a the Measure Take
Wide Has,
WASHINGTON, May 5. General debate
on the naval appropriation bill terminated
with the close of today' eslon of the
house, one paragraph of the bill being
read in order to make it the continuing
order before the house.
International arbitration, the reduction
of our armament, a carefully prepared ad
dress on th achievement of the navy and
a defense of. the naval program for 1907,
together with a speech in favor of a monu
ment on King's mountain battlefield were
the features of this legislative day. Those
who addressed the house formally were
Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri, Mr. Johnson of
South Carolina,' Mr. Webb of North Caro
lina and Mr. Tyreli and Mr.. Weeks of
Massachusetts. Mr. Foss of Illinois, In
charge of th bill, staled that the. naval
budget probably would be completed after
two day' debate under the flve-mlnute
rule; Mr. Payne, the floor leader, thought
it would take a day longer.
Mr. Bartholdt (Mo.) argued for decreasing
the also of the navy and gave notice that
at the proper time he would offer an amend
ment to the naval bill providing that the
secretary of th navy should defer th
building of the $l0,0u0,0u0 ship provided for
in the bill until after the forthcoming
meeting of the second, international Hague
conference, and should the conference
adopt a resolution at that session recom
mending the gradual naval disarmament of
th nations, then th ship Is not to be
built.
Mr. Weeks (Mich.), a graduate of. th
Naval academy, defended the naval appro
priation bill and at Its conclusion the first
paragraph of the bill was read and th
house at 4:10 adjourned till Monday.

Vice President Thayer Jay Mr. Gar-
eld Perverted the Fact tilven
II I m hy Company,
PHILADELPHIA, May 6.-Vlce President
Thayer of the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany today made the following statement
Concerning the report of Commissioner
In the Standard Oil inquiry:
The report of Commissioner Garfield, so
far as It refers to our company In It re
lation with the traffic of the Ctandard
Oil company, I an inexcusable and out
rageous perversion of the facts.
It I true that there ha been In effect a
special rate on nine cents a barrel on oil
from Olean to Rochester and It has not
been withdrawn. This rate was originally
made In 18S8 by the Western New York
and Pennsylvania railroad, twelve years
before the asqulsltion of that comptny by
th Pennsylvania railroad. In order to re
tain to the railroad traftlc that which would
otherwise have gone by pipe line. It I
not a secret rate and never has been se
cret. The tariff was not filed with the in
terstate commerce commission because It
applies to traffic solely within the state.
As to the so-called "suving of $115,000 In
1904," I presume thl 1 based o the differ
ence between the special rate and the regu
lar classification rate. This conveys tne
Impression thot a large sum of money was
illegitimately taken by the railroad com
pany, which. In view of the fact above
explained. Is manifestly not true.
Reference I made to "blind billing" a
If It were some secret devise. This also
Is untrue. The explanation of so-called
"blind billing" Is very simple: Billing Is
another name used by railroads for man
ifesting, which Is a record of shipments
made only for the use of the railroad com
pany in making proper movement of the
traffic and taking proper account of It.
The public never sees a manl'est, being
interested only In tHe rate, the bill of lad
ing and the freight 111.
The term "blind" la used when mani
fest are made without, the detail being
shown, a practice not Infrequent, and not
peculiar to the oil traffic, it purpose Is
to save clerical work. Thl wa fully ex
plained to Commissioner Garfield' repre
e native and it wa clearly shown to him
In the case under dlscualon that the
actual freight money required by the Issued
raU was collected and retained by the rail
road company.
After an exhaustive examination by the
Department of Commerce our books and
accounts being frtely produced both on
state and Interstate traffic It appears that
the only case that Commissioner Garfield
was able to present for criticism In all our
relation with the Standard Oil company la
thl rate on oil between Olean and Roches
ter, two points In the state of New York,
a distance of 100 mile apart, at each of
which points are located refineries of the
Standard Oil company, and between which
a pipe line could readily have been con
structed. In the message from the president, trans
mitting the report of Mr. Garfield, ref
erence Is made to the relations of the
railroads to the so-called "sugar trut" at
New York, and to information conveyed
to the president thut the. so-called 'sugar
trut" rarelv if ever pay the lawful rate
for transportation. A the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is known to participate
largely in the carrying of this traffic It
would necessarily follow that such Informa
tion applied to that company, and In view
of this It is proper that answer thereto
should be made on the company's behalf.
Having personal knowledge. I deny pos
itively snd emphatically that such Informa
tion Is true, so far as tha Pennsylvania
railroad company Is concerned, on the con
trary I assert positively that the traffic
of tlio o-caIled "sugar trust" or other ship
pers of sugar ha been carried for many
year past at the lawful published tariff
rate and that no rebate or unlawful con
cession, direct or Indirect, has been paid
by our company on this traffic.
It Is unfair and unjust to the president
that he should be misled Into believing that
any such condition of affairs exists as
stated.

That the Omaha "middies" are maintain
ing a creditable record for the stale and
city at the Annapolis naval academy I

WOVEN IN CLUB AND CHARITY.
Notwithstanding the cry of the opposi
tion that the club movement Is on the
wane, the eighth biennial convention of
the General Federation of Women's Clubs
to be held at St. Paul, Minn , May ill lo
June 7, promises to be the largest In point
of attendance and in scope of interest of
any in the history of the organisation.
While there are all manner of rumors
afloat regarding proposition of a more or
less radical nature to come befcte t!e con
vention, there has as yet developed no real
Issue. Appended to the call or the conven
tion are several proposed amendment to
the bylaws of the Federation, but In the
main, with the exception of two, these are
In fact of little Importance. It has long
been considered that the bylaw were
poorly, even awkwardly, worded and the
majority of the proposed amendments are
to the end of clearer snd more concise ex
pression only.
There are two really Important amend
ments, however, the Ilrst providing for an
Increase In the size of the board of direc
tor and the second relating to dues. At
present the board Include the seven execu
tive officer and eight director elected hy
the convention. Two means of Increasing
thl board of director are offered, the flrt
by the addition of two vice president nd
the second by having a director from each
state represented In the Federation, In addi
tion to' the regular officer.
There are also two proposition relating
to dues. The first provides that clubs of
from twenty-five to 400 members shall pay
10 cent per capita annually, and all club
of over 400 members ahall pay $40 annually.
The second I that the due of club of
twenty-five and fewer than 10 ahall pay
10 cents per capita, clubs of from 100 to 100
members $10 and club of more than 2W
member 6 cent per capita. These amend
ment should be given careful considera
tion. At present the dues of clubs of lees
than twenty-five members Is $2 SO a year
and of all clubs of over twenty-five mem
bers 10 cents per capita. This assessment
has been complained of a too heavy by
the large city clubs and the argument that
they can afford It Is offset by the claim
that the big city club has all It can do to
meet the local demands upon It. These
are demands of which the smaller clubs,
and especially those of the smaller town,
know nothing, and while JO cent per capita
I a small amount when taken out of the
treasury of the large club, it 1 a goodly
cum.
Many club women are Interested to know
In Just what form the much discussed Eng
lish scholarship proposition will be pre
sented from the Society of American
Women In London. It wa something over
a year ago that the London organization
made the rather extravagant proposition
that the clubs of the General Federation
establish scholarships for American girl
In the English universities, the proposition,
as generally circulated, being estimated at
about $10,000,000. At first club women
thought the report a mistake, so Inconsist
ent did It seem considering the many othor
demands upon the Federation' treasury,
and even yet the proposition a genera')
circulated In not accepted seriously. A
permanent meeting place for the biennial
and headquarters for the General Federa
tion Is another proposition that rumor ha
ssld would come up for consideration at
the St. Paul meeting, but It is a question
whether such a plan would ever be en
dorsed by the convention,
The annual nlectlon . of officer for the
Omaha Woman' club, which take place
at Monday afternoon meeting, ha been
the subject of much discussion among club
women of late, and those most closely In
touch with the club and Its work feel that
there has never been a time whan the
selection of a president has been of more
vital Importance than now. The disbanding
of five of the departments and a consider
able falling off In membership during the
last two years has resulted in a scattering
of interest and a small attendance at the
general meetings that ha materially weak
ened the club and Its Influence. Because of
this scattered Interest much depends upon
the election of a president who will bring
together all faction and all departments.
Many member have felt that the intellec
tual side of the club has suffered during
th last few years through th tendency
toward the philanthropic, while other
claim that the greatest possibilities of the
club today lie along the lines of the
altruistic.
Of the several women who ar being dis
cussed for the presidency Mrs. Edward
Johnson has perhaps the largest support.
