In the pursuit of an otherwise unprofitable
business, Senator Bailey of Texaa, today
delivered t sot speech on the democratic
Ida In opposition to the pending tariff bjll.
Both the floor and the galleries were
crowded, Mr. Tart occupied a seat In the
president gallery.
After he had proceeded without Inter
ruption for over an hour several senators
engaged In colloquies with him. Referring
to Mr. Bailey's statement that the duties
of the pending bill might be lowered S3',
per cent. Mr. Aldrich asked whether he
supposed the profits of American Industries
equalled that amount. Mr. Bailey replied
that In tha case" of the United States Steel
Corporation he believed they had and he
cited the Increased capitalisation of that
organisation as an evidence of enormous
profit. He Insisted that such a lowering
of the rate of duty- would not seriously
affact Importations because he believed
American maufacturers would be stimu
lated by the added foreign competition and
would continue to supply the markets.
Protection gad Labor.
Mr. Bailey discussed hla amendment pro
viding Tor an income tax, which was criti
cised by Mr. Aldrich as tending to reduce
the protection thut would be given Ameri
can labor if It should' result In a propor
tionate decrease of Immigration aa a pro
tection to American lamor. Mr. Aldrich
retorted that while Mr. Bailey was ready
to" keep the foreign ' laborer from our
horee, he was not averse to allowing the
product of this cheap labor to come In
competition with the product ot American
worklngmen. ' .
Mf.,, Bailey also became Involved In a
discussion wllh Mr. Aldrich with regard
to the tatter's utterance In the senate In
ISM, that the Income tax was supported
by the socialist, populist and democratic
parties.. Mr. Bailey , said that Mr. Taft
nowfevere;acbme' lax and asked Mr.
AW rich if he considered tha president a
oolellst, populist i or democrat. Mr. Aid
rich replied that his statement was true at
the time It was made.
Mr. Bailey declared that Mr. Aldrich had
voted for substantially all large appropria
tion measures. He said that the Rhode
Island senator's recent stand In favor of
economy occurred When the burden was
about to be placed on the rich.
WiU Reduce Da ties.
"If this bill, aa he presented It," said
Mr. Bailey, referring to the chairman of
the finance committee, "coupled with an In
come tax will raise too much revenue, lets
reduce the rates thst we collect on the
necessities of ltle."
Referring to an "expatriated cltisen,"
who, he said, owned I1O.0OO.0OO of real es
tate In New Tork City, he said that the
worklngmen of this country wero taxed to
protect hla property, while he went untaxed
during the war with Spain. For more than
eighty years, ssld Mr. Bailey, the action
of congress and the decisions of courts had
maintained the validity of an Inceme tax
law.
Itsti,onlng the conclusion of his re
murks until tomorrow, when he . said he
would give some attention to supreme
court decisions on an Income tax, Mr.
Bailey said In conclusion: .
"I do not think- that sny cltisen or
senator Is precluded from Indulging in Just
and fair criticism of any question relating
to any department of this government.
The judgment of the supreme court gov
erns me In any particular case and I sub
mit without complaint to that Judgment,
but I do not subscribe to the doctrine that
because the judges have spoken all other
men must receive their speech In silence."
Tax aa luintlaraate Proponed.
There waa an extended exchange of
views of senatora concerning the under
standing under which amendments to the
tariff bill would be considered, it being
agreed thut all paragraphs would be sub
ject to further amendment even after,
under the rresent procedure, the senate has
adopted committee amendments.
Mr. Overman of North Carolina offered
an amendment by which he proposed to
l.lsc. a head tax of tit on each Immigrant
er.ilng Into , the country. Mr. Overman,
d'scuselng his amendment, declared:
"It means not only revenue for tha treas
ury, but also a select class of Immigrants
and therefore It protects labor."
Mr. Overman estimated that the head
tax on aliens which he proposed would
bring to the government KOOO.OOO to 110.000,.
000 of revenue.

with Reception.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. April 28 Ad
miral H. IJichl, commander of the JP
anese training squadron now st San
ledro. had a long talk today with Rear
Admiral Robley V. Evans. The two ad
mirals, who are old friends, and who are
now staying at the same hotel, discussed
International questions, including the
possibility of war between the Unl'sd
States and Japan. They agreed that war
between the two nations was Impossible.
"I see they have been trying to get
us In trouble." said Admiral Evans;
"Yes," replied Admiral IJichl, 'But
auch a. thing is perfectly Impossible. The
United 8tates snd Japan understand each
other too well for anything of thai kind.
The people of your country and mine
have too deep seated a friendship for
each other to ever allow any trivial mat
ter to bring about trouble."
"I agree wllh you," said Admiral
Evans. "Such a thought Is ridiculous."
Admiral IJichl told Admiral Evans he
waa delighted with his reception at Loa
Angeles. He commented upon the ap
parent of friendliness of the officials as
well as the press, and public and pre
dicted that he and his men would be
equally well received at other American
ports. '
Raising Rase Ian Ships.
"I would like to know," Inquired Ad
miral Evans, "how your people succeeded
In raising the Russian ships which you
sank and In what condition you found
them?" '
Admiral IJichl replied: "We raised the
sunken battleships and crulsera at Port
Arthur and Chemulpo without any groat
difficulty. We found that thoae at Port
Arthur were not sunk by the mortar fire
directed upon them from 20S-Meter hill.
None of the shells penetrated the pro
testd decks, although tha superstruc
ture and gun mountings were badly
ahattered. The ships were sunk by the
Russians by opening the seacocks when
they found the port must fall into our
hands. After raisin the ships we found
that the preJectUee bad penetrated the
woolerf decks but" had " flattened, eut
against the steel and Were lying there.
It evidently would not hav been pofcslble
to alnk the ships by the fire from the
heights."
Admiral Evans congratulated Admiral
IJInchi upon his fortunate escape from
death when the battleship Makaea, which
he commanded, was blown up In Yoko
hama following the war.
During the day Admiral IJichl returned
the official call made yesterday to tne

The oppiolon reads:
"The act to . regulate commerce as

rates that were unjust and unreasonable.
"In dealing with shippers a carrier Is re
quired to conform freight charges actually
collected to the amount fixed In Its pub

clares that every charge for services rend

passengers or property shall be reason
able and Just, and If tha canler promulgates
rates In violation of this Injunction, it Is
not a lawful rate when Its reasonableness
Is subsequently questioned upon complaint
filed while the published rate Is the legal
rate, mere publication cannot make a rate

No rate can be lawful. In the sense of be
