TILLMAN REPLIES TO PRESIDENT
'-
He Kay If la a Question of Veracity
Between ttoosevelt and Chandler.
WASHINGTON, May li.-r-While the de
bate on the personnel of the Interstate
Commerce commission was In progress In
the senate today Mr. Tillman took the floor
to make a statement on behalf of ex
Senator Chandler, which had been mo
mentarily expected since Mr. Lodge's con
veyance to the senate of the president's
emphatic denial of aome statements at
tributed to Mr. -Chandler by the South
Carolina senator. Mr. Tillman read the
portion of Mr. Chandler"! memoranda of
his conferences with the president, which
lias heretofore been given to the public,
prefacing It with a brief statement of his
own, saying that on Saturday the senate
bad been startled and" 'mortified to h-ar
the utterance of an ex-member denounced
on behalf of the president as "a deliberate
and uniualllled falsehood," and as ho hud
been responsible for -Int rnduclng the sub
J,ct which had caused the attack oh Mr.
Chandler he felt under obligations to place
him right on the record. To that end he
read the ex-senator's statement.
The reading ot that statement was fol
lowed by the following from Mr. Tillman:
There are only two points In the presl-
What Does

ter of a century.
For Purity

Howard Corner Sixteenth Street
dent's letter which I deem Worthy of
notice. His attempted explanation Is In-,
genioua. but not Ingenuous. He calls in
question the integrity of purpose and utter
ance of Mr. Chandler by declaring!
"I was asked to see-ex-Senator Chandler
as representing Mr.. Tillman, who.. was In
charge of the bill. He stated to me the
views of Mr. Tillman with seeming au
thority." - i
Mr. Chandler lias declared moat., posi
tively In a written statement that the presi
dent sent for him for the purpose of get-'
ting- Into oommunicatlen 'With Benaior
Bailey and myself and he has produced the
Utter of Mr. Loeb. ,
I now declare most emphatically that to
no human belng--have I ever given au
thority or even expressed a wish to have
any conference with Theodore 'Roosevelt
in regard to the bill now under considera
tion. ' On the contrary, I hava expressed the
opinion In more than one public Interview
that he had nothing to do with It and that
It was the business of the senate, and.
while I did, t his-request, enter Into ne
gotiations with the attorney general. It is
well known to every senator on'thls floor
what my attitude and feeling have been
and It Is most remarkable while the presi
dent sent for democrat after democrat
to confer with him about this measure that
h should undertake' under the - circum
stances to assert that I aent an agent to
Mm to begin negotiations. The statement
Is absurd on Its face.
The other point to which I shall refer Is
the cavalipr way In which Mr. Moody dis
cusses the Idea of the president not to be
boutm. .'- - , .-
While contradicting In no Instance: how
ever slight, my statement of what occurred,
the attorney general seems to think that
the code of honor among gentlemen Is not
binding upon the executive and his cabinet.
The president asked him to see Mr.
Bailey and myself. We met by appointment
made by Senator Chandler and talked over
the vital question. He wrote and sent to
Mr. Hailey his understanding of our views
find when we meet subsequently we reached
an absolute agreement, both as to the form
and the substance of a proposed amendment
to which he said the president would assent
and help get votes for.
Of course the president was not bound
not to change, but he was bound under
such circumstances to give notice and this
whs not done. Even the attorney general
himself was not notified.. The charge I
made and still make la that the president
is guilty of bad faith and tnat the rate
Mil which will be, when enacted Into a
law, a much better and stronger measure
than we had hoped to get, haa been emas
culated of one of Its most valuable and
essential features by the president's ac
tion. I am ready to leave the whole question to
the thoughtful and honorable men of the
country.
8on after beginning his statement Sena
tor Tillman Injected the words ''this la Till
man talking now," which caused a titter
In the senate and considerable laughter In
the galleries.
When Mr. Tillman had concluded Senator
Allison asked to have read the president's
letter, to hlmi He only -said that 'his ob
ject was to have the letter made aa pert
manerrf of record aa Mr. Tillman's state
ment Attorney Oeneral Moody' state
ment to the president i also was read.
When the words "I saw the newspaper
men In the maas" were read there waa a
loud guffaw in the senate and In the gal
leries and the vice president rapped sharply
with his. gavel to restore order.
Mr. Nelson -Interposed with a motion to
lay the pending amendment t the rate bill
on the table,"whlcli closed the Incident.

DEMAND FOR BIG BACK FEES
County Attorney's Office Wantt Fifty Tho us
and Dollar Turned Into Treasury.
SHIELDS, BAXTER AND VINS0NHALER IN IT
Each Former aa Well aa Present
t'onaty JoHae Will Be Held
Respoaslhle for 111
ft hare.
The cotinty commissioners, acting under
an opinion from Deputy County Attorney
Shotwell, will make a demand on present
and former county fHclals for approxi
mately fiiO.OflO In fees which have been
earned but never collected. Mr. Shotwell
has presented, an opinion that the officials
are legs My responsible for these fees, and
the finance committee at a meeting Tues
day decided to proceed at once to collect
them. ,
It Is estimated by the commissioners that
there are $3O,0uO In uncollected fees on the
books of the district clerk's office. In the
county judge's office it Is computed there
are about IJO.OOO in uncollected fees which
have been earned during the last ten or
twelve years. These fees were earned by
former County Judges Shields, Baxter and
VInsonhaler as well as by Judge Leslie, and
each one of these officials will be held re
sponsible for his share.
Clerk, Treasurer and Sheriff.
It Is the opinion of Mr. Shotwell that the
county clerk, county treasurer and sheriff
are also subject to suit for uncollected fees,
but in these offices It is not believed the
amount of the fees will be large, with the
possible exception of the sheriff's. In the
county clerk's office H has been customary
to demand all fees In advance. The treas
urer's office Is checked tip by the state, and
It Is believed fees have been kept well col
lected. Ex-Sheriff John Power admits his
Hublllty for about $1,309 In fees and has al
ready asked permission of the cotnimsslnn
trs to collect them now. There Is said to
be a large amount of. fees due the county
from the former terms of Sheriff McDonald.
The commissioners Will begin an Investi
gation of the different offices at once with
a view to determining the amount due the
county in each. This Investigation will
run back to 1900 in the district clerk's
office, as In that year it was made a
salaried office and the fees earned since
then belong to the eounty. The other
offices have been on a salary basis since
the early history of the state.
Official Are Sntlflcd.
The finance committee, consisting of Ure,
Kennard and Solomon, took up the matter
Tuesday and sent notices to the different
officials and former, officials Involved that
they will be expected to make a settlement
with the county.
Mr. Shotwell's opinion Is very positive
In Its terms and is based In part on a
suit from Lancaster county entitled Boct
tcher against Lancaster county. In which
the supreme court Is said to have decided
officials are responsible for all fees earned
In their offices. In the opinion Mr. Shot-
well says:
"The clerk Is purely the agent of the
county and has no-power to extend its
credit, and If he does .so he Is liable for
such disregard of the law. The law per
mits him to demand his fees from litigants
in advance, and If he fails to do so and
credit is extended he must answer to the
county for which he works- and to which
he is liable." '
District Clerk' jproadwell, who Is affected
more than anyone 'else by the action . of
the board, wils c'alTMl' before the rommlttee
Tuesday. He 'did" 'not place as sweeping
ah Interpretation 'on , the decision of the
court as tho commissioners did and said
he had been Informed by his attorneys that
he could hot be held responsible. He de
clared it was almost Impossible to keep
from extending credit In some cases, but
he had collected In advance wherever it
was possible.
REPLY TO THE CZAR
(Continued from First Page.)
the land with suffering, with executions
without Judicial sentence, with violent out
breaks, with shooting and Imprisonment.
Ask Responsible Ministry.
The scars of this government on the part
of the administration of the last few
months have sunk so deep into the souls
of the people that no pacification Is pos
sible so long as the people are not clearly
satisfied that in the future acts of violence,
which in your majesty's name are now
employed as a cover, are forbidden to the
authorities, so long as the minister are
not responsible to the representatives of
the people and so long as the, whole sys
tem of administration la not reconstructed.
Only when the ministers are made respon
sible to the people can the Idea of the ab
solute irresponsibility of the monarch take
root In the hearts of his subjects. Only
a ministry enjoying the confidence of Par
liament can strengthen confidence In the
government and the existence of such con
fidence alone can make tranquil and reg
ular labors of Parliament possible.
Above all It Is first necessary In Russia
to repeal the exceptional laws, the laws of
Increased protection and the state or siege,
under cover of which the arbitrariness and
Irresponsibility ot officials appear and de
velop. At the same time the principles of the
responsibility of the administration to the
representatives of the nation must be
adopted.
Further, for fruitful labor on the part of
the Parliament, there must be introduced
the principle of true popular representa
tion, which consists In the recognition that
the union of the monarch and the people
is the only source of legislative power.
Every barrier between the emperor and
the people must be removed. Further, there
must be no domain of legislation nliieh
would always be closed to free revision by
representations of the people In conjunc
lit n with the monarch.
Parliament holds that It is Its duty to
declare to your majesty , in the name of
the people that the whole nation will carry
out the creative work of renewing its life
with all Its power and energy, with a firm
belief In the Imminent elevation of the
fatherland, if between it and the throne
there does not stand an Imperial council
composed of appointed dignitaries and per
sons elected by the highest classes of
the population and If the legislative powers
of the people's representatives are not
limited by special laws.
Absolute Civil' Liberty,
In the domain of the legislative work be
fore It Parliament regards as an absolute
necessity for the country a precise law
assuring Involiabllity of the nerson. liberty
of conscience, speech and the press, hhko
ciation. gatherings and strikes. Without
these fundamental principles, which were
laid down by the Imperial manifesto of Oc
tober SO, no reform of the social condition
la imaginable.
Parliament Is actuated by the unshakable
conviction that neither liberty nor order
can be assured without the equality of all
citizens being established before the law.
Therefore. Parliament is preparing a bill
establishing the equality of all citizens and
simultaneously by removing all cluss or
national religious privileges an effort will
be made to free the country from adminis
trative tutelage.

views of the whole nation on the detiiMiid
for the restoration of the law abolishing

Expropriation of Lands.
Careful examination of the needs of the
peasantry and the measures called for by
them will form. Parliament's next tusk
The rural population is Impatient ly wait
ing the satisfaction of agrarian needs. Iar
llament would not be doing Its duty if It
did not make a law for the satisfaction
of these needs by the aid of the crown do
mains, monastic iHntls and the compulsory
expropriation of land belonging to the own
ers of estates.
Parliament also holds that It Is necessary
tn p:isi a law ccinliriiiing the peasant s In
their enjoyment of equnl rights and freeing
them from oppression hy arbitrary author
ity and from tuelage.
Parliament holds that satisfaction of tjie
needs of the working classes Is euunlly In
capable of being deferred. The firs step
in this derection must he recognition of
freedom of organization for workmen and
their right to take Independent action for
the elevation of liiclr material and moral
welfare.
Popular education Is another task that
lies before Parliament.
Parliament further holds that It Is neces
sary to Include among the tasks, the ful
filment of which cunnot be referred, the
question of the satisfaction of the long
matured demands of the various nationali
ties of the empire. Russia affords the ex
ample of a state peopled by many races
and nationalities. 1'nion In spirit of all of
these Is only possible through the satisfac
tion of the needs of each, whereby the In
dividuality of the divers sides of their lives
will be preserved ami developed. Parlia
ment will give careful heed to the task of
giving wide satisfaction to those Just de
mands. Your Majesty: On the threshold of our
Labors one question agitates the soul of
the whole Russian people anil prevents us
as their representatives from calmly en
tering upon cur legislative work. The first
word pronounced In Parliament was am
nesty. It was met with crys of sympathy.
The country Is thirsting for It. It Is a
demand of the people's conscience which
It Is Impossible to refuse or delay.
Sire, the Parliament awaits full political
amnesty as the first pledge of a mutual
understanding In the future and concord
between the emperor and the people.
WESTERN MATTERS AT CAPITAL
Congressman Kennedy Introduces n
BUI to Amend the Dank
ruptcy Act.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. May 15.-(Special Tele
gram.) The bill Introduced by Senator
Burkett increasing the pension of
Holaway W. Kinney of Kearney
to t'!0 per month was favorably re
ported upon today by the senate committee
on pensions.
The bill granting a pension of $12 to Wil
liam C. Berbhulm of Omaha, who served
in Company D, Third Nebraska volunteers,
during the Spanish-American war, was fav
orably reported today. This bill passed the
house In April.
Representative Klnkaid in April secured
the passage In the house of a hill Increas
ing the pension of Pliilo Green to $30. , Tp
day the Senate committee reported the bill
favorably.
Representative Kennedy today Introduced
a hill to amend the bankruptcy law. It
provides two additional grounds on which
the court may refuse to discharge a bank
rupt. One is where the bankrupt has tes
tified falsely to a material fact In bank
ruptcy proceedings and the other where
the bankrupt has made a false written
statement to be communicated to creditors
or to the trade. Under the law as It stands
a false written statement to prevent dis
charge must be made direct to the creditor.
Mr. Kennedy's bill contains a provision
placing the burden of proof on the bank
rupt to account fully for all hla property.
It also provides that a bankrupt shall not
be discharged until the bankrupt estate
has been fully administered and distributed
among the creditors.
Senator Burkett today Introduced a bill
to pay to Mrs. Eliza A. Polk of Lincoln
$512. Mrs. Polk is the mother of Second
Lieutenant Frank M. Polk, late of Company
C, Thirty-ninth regiment, I'nited States vol
unteers. The bill seeks to give Mrs. Polk
the sum due her son at the time of his
death In the matter of arrears of pay and
allowances. Through technicalities in the
War department a special act of congress
will be necessary to secure Mrs. Polk the
sum due her son's estate.
Congressman Hlnshaw was today notified
of the allowance of a pension of $8 to Min
nie Edgcrton of Adams from January 24,
last.
James H. Mcintosh, one of the general
solicitors of the New York Life Insurance
company, formerly of Omaha, was In the

DAHLMAN AT ARMS WITH COUNCIL
Zlniman F.mpeeted to I nlork the
Situation for Presidency In
Favor of Member from
Twelfth Ward.
Based upon recetnf developments, the city
hall dopesters on Tuesday were moved to
predict tnese thing perhaps:
Implacable and to-the-hlit feud between
louucilmcn-eleit Jett tiedtord and M. r.
Futikhouser.
Pusslble deadlock over the presidency and
'leluy in organization of the new council.
btrife between Mayor Dahlniau and his
council In tilling appointive ofiices.
If Tuesduy'a brand of pabulum Is no
better than that dished out the day before,
however, those who are hoping to reorgan
ize the democracy of the state on the late
victory In Omaha need" not bv alarmed.
With Mr. Uedford accusing Mr. Funk
houser of telling mean Btories about him,
the first prediction Is thought to have Its
feet somewhere near the ground. Mr.
Kunkhouser'a supporters are untying a
fresh bunch of brickbats to hurl at Mr.
Hedford'a head every day. Meanwhile, tho
friends of the latter protest he has still
enough votes to make him president, ia
Innocent of the bad things said about him
and will win out.
Th 'chaftce for a deadlock are not ao
good. It may be that Mayor Zlmman will
have the deciding vote on the council floor,
but if It is between Bedford and Funk
houser, with no chance for anyone else,
Zlmman's vote can be safely placed In al
phabetical order under the Bedford head.
This largely because Mr. Zlmman has a
notion that Mr. Kunkhouser la a false
alarm.
Dahlman and HI Council.
Regarding the possibilities of a fight be
tween Mayor Dahlman and hlri council,
stranger things, It is pointed out, have
aken place In the city hall. Tuesday a
democrat aH" ."-.; ,-
The day after -eleettoni and Just before
he went to Missouri for a rest, Jim Dahl
man gathered together the successful dem
ocratic candidates and asked them to prom
ise no offices, make no endorsements and
keep the whole situation in statu quo until
he returned. He gave them to understand
that ha would do the same thing; that
nothing would be decided on until he re-
urned, and that when he did get back all
would have iomethlng to say about dlspos-
ng of the Jobs. Now counollmen-elect have
had It brought to them that Mr. Dahlman
la deciding upon his appointments without
giving them a squint behind the curtains.
Further, they have heard that some of the
Jobs were promised and assigned right
after election and that the mayor-elect is
going ahead on his own responsibility and
filling the list.
Several of these councllmen have told
mo they are sore. They may try to turn
down certain appointments or all of them.
and if they do, look out for trouble. My
own opinion 1 that Mayor Dahlman In
tends to be boss at the city hall and
doesn't care who know It, and that cer
tain councllmen have an exalted opinion
of their office and will endeavor to e
that proper recognition I paid to it."
The person quoted Is in no danger of
losing out by taking Bides or speaking
freely.
