J f 2Q - - HOUSE ATTRACTS A CROWD (Continued from First Page) therefore, that there was any other pur pose In the President's mind than the one he states. If such an Insinuation were properly Inferrable I would treat It with ia 11 conceivable scorn and contempt. I do not know the name, even, of any man tried In Nebraska for illegal transactions In connectlo nwitli public lands, except two, who are named In the message of January 4. I do not know any man who has ever been indicted except I'. T. Stew art. I do not know the name of any man who has directly or Indirectly represented any of ths paitles charged except those who, It Is said appeared for Mr. Stewart. It Is of course possible, that if I knew the names of attorneys for other" defendants, I might know some of them. I have never had a word of conversation or other com munication or anybody representing him about the secret service. I never dreamed that any secret service man had been em ployed In this case until within about three weeks. I have never known until the mes sage of January 4 what particular offense he was charged with, but understood from the press that one or more Indictments were found against him charging some vi olations of the land laws. I do not know what the conspiracy charged against him Is, but so far as the pther charges are concerned, as revealed in this memoran dum, it would seem that a special agent jf ths land department should be able to ascertain whether a ranchman was fenc ing the public domain ami whether a soel Mjr woman was living In McPherson coun ty, Nebr., or Pottawattamie ebuty, Iowa, hudreris of miles apart, during the home stead period. If these special agents can suit prepars cases like that we are sim ply wasting IMO.ono a year cm them, but 'lis President tells us that the secret ser rice at least had a memorandum of the Vewait case, which Illustrates the rami fications of Interests with which the gov ernment has to deal." Where President Is In Error. Mr. Smith then reviewed the findings cf the secret servlca agent in the Stewart matter and read a number of telegrams from those most concerned. Charles M llarl of the law firm of Harl & Tinley, Council Hluffs, In reply to a telegram from Smith says: "Never owned a dollar of stock In ths street railway company." As to Stewart's connection with the street railway com pany Smith said: "The information that he might possibly be a director wouKl of course be exceedingly valuable, but he Is not and never has been either a director or stockholder in the company named, but his father's estate, to which he Is one of the heirs, does own some stock In a wholly different company, which owns a bridge across the Missouri river and a portion o the street car lines and has leased all Its property for ninety-nine years, or such a matter, to the company named." Kdward W. Hart of Council Bluffs, whom the detective calls "Water forks'' Hart, president of the Council Bluffs Water com pany and interested In the street railway company, Mr. Smith said was never presi dent of the water company, and he wires that he never was Interested In the street railway company. That Mr. Sheldon, presi dent of the Phoenix Insurance company of Brooklyn Is president of the water com pany and has been for many years. Mr. Smith closet! by saying: "I am done with this whole matter, ex cept to s;iy thut while I am prepared to consider giving the attorney general power to organize a detective force., if he has not such power now, which I think he has, within the limits of his appropriation, and, of course, he can employ as many men on his own roll as he ran pay pn any other department's roll. But never again, if I can prevent It. s'.all the old system of law defiance and law evasion, a system of broken oaths of Vffice, of illegal ex penditure of money appropriated, of padded accounts, of false certificates, of constant commission of felonies by public officers, of simple lying and of tergiversation be restored to the public service." ('nf of Rlo-ht-of-W'sy The senate, this morning passed a bill introduced by Senator Burkctt granting to tho Northwestern railroad the right to change the location of Its right-of-way across the southeast corner of tho Kort Niobrara military recurvation where It now crosses tho south half cf section eight, township thirty-three north, range twenty seven west of the sixth principal meridian. A rew right-of-way Is granted by the bill passed today not exceeding 40u feet in width, to be so selected as not to Interfere with any buildings or improvements on said reservation, and the location thereof to be subject to the approval of the secre tary of war. Ben T. White of Omaha, general attorney In Nebraska for tho Northwestern, has been In Washington In rclalTt.ii to this matter and ia elated over the progress made. The bill was sent to the War de partment on Wedmsduy and recched ths endorsement of the Judge advocate gen eral. It was returned to the committee on military affairs yesterday and reported on favorably today. It will go at once to the military affairs committee of the house and early action Is expected, as the railroad company is desirous of beginning tn the bridge ucross the Niobrara liver at the earliest possible moment. t'ennna ot Cripples. The senate today adopted an Important Item In a bill providing for the taking of t ne thirteenth census by passing an amend ment of Senator Burkctt providing for the enumeration of ruptured, crippled and de formed children. This Is a matter that came to Senator Burkett's attention through the work of the Orthopaedic hos pital at Lincoln, Neb., where children of tins class are cared for by the state.

It was only after a trial census had been taken there that those oppused to It wera persuaded to support It. It wss a matter of great surprise to find how large a proportion of crippled and de formed children thers was. The hospital wai overcrowded at once, and It has been found In every state having such a hos pital that a surprisingly large, number of such cases is found when It is known that they can bo cared for. A hearing was had on the amendment be fore the census committee some time ago, and It was objected to then on the ground that the question was of such a personal nature that those Interrogated would not wish to answer and that it would thus In terfere with the securing of data. It Is proposed to meet this difficulty, however, by allowing the purpose of Inquiry to be known; that Is, that only by knowing how many there are of such cases can they be cured. Minor Matters at Capital. C. B. Collins snd wife of Aberdeen, S. D., arrived In Washington today and have taken apartments at the Dewey hotel to spend the balance cf the winter in the capital.

HOUSE TABLES MESSAGES (Continued from First Page.) was that congressmen did not themselves wish to be Investigate.'" When Chairman Perkins of New York, of the special committee proposed to mske his report, he faced an almost full member ship, while the galleries were packed wi'h Interested rpectanrs Messrs Tawney, Smith of Iowa, Stierley and fc'ltigcrald were ou the floor prepared by word of mouth,' to resent what they deemed to be the insinu ations of the president upon them as mem bers of the committee on appropriations. They were not alone In their indignation. Indeed, for some time past the feelings of the members had been growing more and more Intense, and some of them have been giving way to their sentiments in language which fully testified to their wounded pride. Perkins Scores President. Mr. Perkins began his address to the house as follows: "To jour committee were referred cer tain passages contslned In ths anrrusl mes sage of the president. We were to decide whether, in our opinion, those portions of the message were couched In such form that a proper regard for the dignity of a great legislative body should forbid their reception. We are of the opinion that the portions of the message to constitute a breech ot the privileges of this houas and that therefore following the precedent set In similar cases, the house should decline to consider them." He closed with these words'. "During long centuries our English speaking ancestors struggled and bled that a representative government might ts stib llshed among the English people. "Our revolutlonsry forefathers, mors than a century ago, struggled and bled that our vernment should be a representative K .vernment, that the laws of the American people should be passed by the representa tives chosen by the American people. The congress of the United States today exists as a result of centuries of struggle for popular government. Ivet every man who is a member of it vote on this question In the manner which seems to him most worthy ot th traditions of which as are the heirs, of the Institutions of which we are the protectors and of ' the people 'of whom we are the representatives." Text of the Report. As was the case when he first spoke on ths question before the holidays Mr. Per kins was frequently Interrupted by ap plause. Upon the conclusion of his re marks he submitted the committee re port, which, after quoting from the presi dent's messsge, was as follows: "Understanding this language to be a re flection on the integrity of its membership and aware ot Its own constitutional due as to its membership, the house In respect ful terms called on the president for any Information that would Justify the lan guage of the message or assist It In Its constitutional duty to purge itself of cor ruption, "The president In his message of January 4 denies that the paragraph of the annual message casts reflections on the Integrity of the house, attributes to the house 'an entire failure to understand my message,' declares that he has made no charge of corruption against any members of this house and by implication- states that he has no proof of corruption of any member of this house. Dignity of Mouse at Stake. "Whether the house In Its resolution of December 17, 1908, correctly Interpreted the meaning of ths words used by the presi dent In his annual message, or whether It misunderstood that language as the presi dent Implies, will be Judged now and in the future according to the accepted Interpre tations of the English language. This house, charged only with Its responsibility to the people of the United Slates and Its obligation to transmit unimpaired to the future the representative Institutions inher ited from the past, and to preserve Its own dignity must insist on its own capacity to understand the Import of the president's language. We consider the language of the president In his message of December 8, 19C8, unjustified and without basis of fsct and that constitutes a breach of the privileges of the house. Therefore be it "Resolved, That the house, in the exercise of Us constitutional right, declines to con sider any communication from any source which Is not, in Its own judgment, respect ful; and be ii further "Resolved, That the special committee and the committee of the whole be. dis charged from any consideration of so mSch of the president's annual message as re lates to the secret service, and Is above set forth, and that the said portion of ths message be laid on the table; and be it further "Resolved, That the message of the pres ident sent to the house on January 4, ItVjft, being unresponsive to the Inquiry of the house and constitutes an lnraslon of ths privileges of this nouse by questioning ths motives and intelligence of members In the exercise of their constitutional rights and functions, be laid on the table." Danaeroos, Declares Tawaey. Mr. Tawney, In presenting his views of the case, declared that nothing could con tribute so much to the destruction of the republic as an attempt on ths part of one branch of it to Impeach ths honor and In tegrity of another branch, however that attempted impeachment ' be sought, "whether by attributing to the members of that other branch as a whole motive for conduct wholly Inconsistent with honor, in tegrity snd the faithful discharge of duty or otherwise." The arbitrary and unauthorised uas of great power of any of the branches of tho government In that respect, he said, if al lowed to pass unchallenged, would do fur trer to undermine the confidence of the people In thrlr government and ths very foundation of the government, than all otier ogencles oomblned. He referred to the utterance of ths pres. Idcnt charging members of congress with being afraid to be investigated, and said that "to thus impugn the motives of ths members of the legislative branch of our government, violates not only tbe consti tutional provisions of congress, but Is cal culated to arouse a popular prejudice against all branches of our government, more Injurious to its success than any thing that has occurred in the history of the republic." Effect of President's Words. If. he added, there was no intention to thus impugn the motives of congress, "then it was most unfortunate that ha gave to the people of our country the opportunity to say that that wss the Intention and that such language should not hars been ustd by the head of the executive branch of the government without Justification. The president, said Mr. Tawney fifl'irr had completely misquoted his speech m n tloned in the message, "whether uninten tionally or cot." and he read from the . Congressional Record certain extracts 'o espport hli statement. As to Moran, the assistant chief of the secret service, Department of the Treasury." who was promoted for unearthing certiin Ink frauds, Mr. Tawney said In conclusion that ths promotion was made on the Inlili tlvs of the committee on appropriations It self and no one else. Libel, Says Sherley. Declaring that he ecu id not r how any other conclusion could be reached llu i ttet the president deliberately lib"led tl -house, Mr. Sherley devoted Ms remarks prirclpally to tho president's reference to him In his special message, lie ehureete' Ised ths action as a grave breach of tlta privileges of the house and thereby a grave injury to the country, and claimed that "no response to the previous resolu tion of ths house could be accepted that did not contain a withdrawal of the of' fenslve language objected to and an apology therefor. "The fear of the secret service men," continued Mr. Pherley; ' in my judgment there was not a meenher of this house who voted out of fear of the secret service. Ths president's stlcrma is gratuitous and without the shadow of at, excuse." Will Oppose Repeal of Provision. "I am opposed to ths repeal ot the provision. I shall oppose Its repeal, If it be attempted," said Mr. Fitzgerald. "I hall not quarrel with the president, nor shall I scold htm because he agrees with me about legislation. Neither shall I per mit my Judgment to be Improperly swayed nor my action upon legislative matters hn controlled by him. I shall continue to net as a responsible representative; I decline to become a mere empty echo." Skinned from Head to llerl was Ben Pool, Threet. Ala., when dragged over a gravel roadway, but Bucklen's Ar nica Satvct cured him. 20c. For Sdle by Beaton Drug Co.
