t ided In House Bill to 8 8-8
Onli Chat-fed. hr the
Dlngley Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 6 The tariff bill
was again taken up In the senate today for
the consideration of committee amendments
that were passed over upon the first read
ing of the bill after It had been practically
Islrl aside for ten days while senators have
ween making speeches on the measure ss
a whole. Small progress was made in the
consideration of tht measure as a whole,
but eight pages being considered before
adjournment. There was much debate on
the various amendments that were acted
upon.
Senator Dolllver concluded his speech be
gun yesterday.
When Senator Dolllver arose to resume
his speech on the wool and cotton schedules
of the tariff bill shortly after the senate
assembled today, but few senators were
In their places. Mr. Nelson suggested "no
quorum." Senators came In rapidly in re
sponse to the call and fifty-six answered
to their names. Mr. Dolllver Immediately
proceeded with his discourse. Senator Aid
rich was not In his seat at the beginning
of the session.
Replying to a suggestion Mr. Aldrich
mad yesterday, Mr. Dolllver declared that
it mad no difference to him If a man of
the acute mind or Senator Vest had found
in the Dingley bill anme of the things ha
himself had discovered In the pending
measure.
"My friends, the senator from Rhode Is
land," he continued, "seemed to get a good
deal of comfort yesterday by sneefing at
me because I had sought the advice of
persons qualified to apeak on these ques
tions. ) Such a. thing was not only uncalled
for, but It Is little short of ridiculous when
the senator sits here snd in answer to
questions reads from pamphlets prepared by
experts. In view of that course, I submit
he Is In no position to complain If I talked
with wise and good men to prepare myself
to address this body and tht people of the
Vnited States.
"Th .UI -pending before the senate," he
said, "was largely a matter of mathe
matics and it could be understood by care
ful study."
Cottei Rates Increased.
Recalling that Mr. Aldrich had said yes
terday that It would be shown to the sen
ate that no changes Increasing the cotton
rates had been made by the senate com
mitter) on finance, Mr. Dolllver said that
If that was a correct statement he would
expect all the Items carrying senate amend
ment to be stricken from the emaaure.
The fact was, he said that the cotton rates
were Increased. He then read from a New
York newspaper, which, he added, hud for
twenty cavs been watchful of the spirit
ual fide of the senator from Massachu
setts (Mr. TOdgc), a statement to the effect
that Mr. I-odge had said that aa reported
f r p,i tha rnmmlltA ml flninc, n n .Ha -.--
ton schedule as amended by the senate
committee was "of great value to Massa-
el needs.' Yha same article, ho said, also
appeared In a Boston paper.
' Mr. Lodge appearing in the chamber at
.this moment, recognized the reading of
the statement and m.ule Inquiry concerning
It, to which Mr. iKilllver replied that he
(Mr. Ijodgc) was quoted as saying that
"the ad valorem rate on cotton had been
Increased." Mr. Lodge said that must ba
misquotation.
"I stated," ha said, "the advalorem rates
had not been Increased."
"Then, responded Mr. Dolllver, promptly,
"you wore mistaken in stating that, as I
have demonstrated to the senate, and If
you did not state that to the Boston news
paper, you omitted a very Important part
of your duty."
"I have mathematically demonstrated
that these rates have been increased, " said
Mr. Dolllver.
"I have great doubt about your mathe
matical demonstration," responded Mi'.
)o1g.
"I also." said tha Iowan, bowing to the
lasichuaetts senator, "have grave doubts
about some of the Infirmities of yourself."
Referring to the board of appraisers at
New York aa "elder statesmen who failed
to lx re-elected," Mr. Dolllver explained
tht inerceiisntlon of cotton, declaring that
tha I cent a yard for that or similar
processes provided In the bill waa In excess
cf the cost of mercerixatlon.
Brlrka sr Bouaetsf
Mr. Smoot said the mercerixatlon process
. required Egyptian or long Sea Island cot
ton. Mr. Dolllver denied this statement,
and, turning to the democratic side, said
that waa the cctton for which tha senator
from Bout! Carolina had so strenuously
worked lor a tariff duty.
Mr. Tillman quickly disavowed amy desire
. to have a duty on Sea Island ootton. He
added he was enjoying seeing tha senator
from Iowa "throwing bricks at his col
league on the republican side," but that
lie did not want him to throw them at him.
"I thought I waa throwing him a bou
quet." responded Mr. Dolllver.
Mr. Bmoot declared cttton lost something
in mej-certaatJon.
"Yes." replied Mr. Dolllver, "the process
of marceriiallon Is lika waahlng your hands
, cf course you lose a little In the waste."
After the laughter on tha floor and In
the galleries bad died out Mr. Dolllver
resumed. Ha said ha did not hold the
rriembeis of tha finance committee re-
sponsible for tha bill, as they had been
fcroad to hire merchants to explain tha
tnsaaure to them.
Mr. Dolllver said the time waa coming
whan tha eooUovsrsy over the tariff would
be transferred by law to a tribunal, wtiei
, It culd ba passed upon "with mora wisdom
tha a person waa Habla to meat about
the cerrldors of the oapltol."

ARGUMENTS IN KANSAS CITY
State Attorney General Makes State
. ment on Witness Stand.
M'PHERSON HEARS ARGUMENT
Railroads Want the Temporary Order
Mad Permanent.
STATEMENT BY JUDGE PHILLIPS
He Presides at Openlnar of Conrt
and After F.splalnlng Ilia
Connection with Case)
Retires.
KANSAS CITY. May li. "Th'r h
been so much talk about the decree of
this court In the Missouri railroad rate
rases that It seems strange to me thai
an appeal has not been taken from that
decree. Do you Intend to appe.ii?"
"Yes, sclr; a transcript la now bflng
prepared for an appeal to the aupreme
court of the United States."
Judge Smith McPherson presiding aeged
the foregoing question and Attorney
General Ma)or testifying gnvo the hi swer
this afternoon .it tlie hearing in the
federal court to decide whether or not
the temporary restraining order of the
federal court ' enjoining' the atate from
Interfering In the rate cases was to be
made permanent. Judge McPherson hud
recalled Attorney General Major to Uie
stand to ask tin question.
"Well, why have you waited so long lo
file your appeal T' continued the Judge.
"Because tho record of the case Is quite
voluminous and It will require eomo time
to complete the transcript. Besides the
law allows two yeara In which to file an
appeal." responded the attorney general.
The attorney general was subjected to a
cross-fire examination from the railroad
attorneys, with an occasional question from
the court because of his action at Jeffer
son City yesterday In filing quo warranto
proceedings against the railroads.
Slebert Jones, circuit t attorney of St.
Louis, testified that the Injunction suit
which he filed against the railroads re
straining them from putting Into effect a
J-ccnt passenger rate waa Inspired by
Governor Hadley.
The attorneys announced that all their
evidence had been submitted and court ad
journed until tomorrow, when the argu
ments will begin.
flatus of Pending; Cases,
Missouri's rate case waa again up for
cnoslderatlon In the federal court here to
day, when Judge Smith McPherson heard
arguments for a permanent Injunction to
restrain the state courts and state officials
from interfering in this litigation, which
originated In tha United States court.
An amended decree to the original pa
senger and freight rate decision waa filed
in Kansas City April 17 by Judge McPher
son. It restrained the atate courts from
Interfering In the regulation of rates, but
tt. was general in its application. Judge
John F. Philips Isrued an Injunction a
week later In the federnl court which abso
lutely tied the hands of every state court.
every state and county official and every
private cltlien against regulating railroad
rates. Arguments for a permanent In
junction on Judge Philips' order were set
for today. This order was Intended to
prevent the circuit court of St. Louis from
proceeding with an Injunction against the
railroads In Missouri. The Injunction In
the state court In St. Tenuis charges that
the railroads In Missouri are In an unlaw
ful combination to Increase passenger
rates. It waa Instituted by Seebert Jones,
circuit attorney of St. Tjouls, at the sug
gestion of state officers.
All of the proceedings of the federal
court for the western district of Missouri
In these rate esses have, with a single ex
ception, been handled by Judge McPher
son, who Is the presiding Judge of the
southern district of Iowa. Judge Philips,
who Is presiding Judge In the United States
district court for the western dis
trict of Missouri, has. In the mean
time, been engaged with cases In the cir
cuit court of apnea In. and hl only entry
Into the present litigation haa been to issue
the temporary restraining order against the
state courts, simply to save Judge Mc-
I Pherson from coming to Kansas City to
perform that act.
At the opening of the court here today
Judge Phillips assumed the bench only long
enough to make a brief statement of his
connection with the esses, this as a result
of Representative Murphy's resolution de
manding a congressional Investigation of
tha acta of these two judges. Judge Philips
then vacated the bench and Judge Mc
Pherson. who had arrived during the morn
ing from St. Louis, waa left to hear the
arguments of the state and the railways
tn the Injunction suit.
Statement by Judge Phillips.
Judge Philips said he deemed It proper
at this Juncture to state "what every In
formed persona knows," that the rate casus
were passed upon and left entirely to
Judge McPherson, he having been assigned
to that work at the very outset of their
consideration In court. Judge McPherson
was given control of these cases. Judge
Philips said, because he himself had to
take up the work of the United States
court of appeals. Rate cases were of such
a nature that It was necessary that they
be taken tn charge by a Judge who could
go continuously through with htem. He
said tha final decree waa rendered by
Judge McPherson and that later Judge Mc
Pherson gave a supplementary decision.
Ha said because of tha absence pf Judge
McPherson from Kansas City and the exi
gencies of the situation did not penult of
delay, he waa asked by Judge McPherson
to act provisionally In granting a tempor
ary restraining order aguinat designated
persons about ten days ago. Ho consented
and granted tha temporary order, a hear
ing on which was tho bualneos of tha court
today.
'As every lawyer knows," said Judge
Phillips, "a temporary order does not touch
tho merits of the cas, but la mado to main
tain tha statue quo of the points Involved."
Continuing Judge Philip said:
"I want It distinctly understood that I do
not want to shirk any reapnnelblllty what
ever. I do not want to shift one atom of
responsibility that belongs to me upon
Judge McPherson. My rearnnaibllity la de
termined by my oath of office and I reuiiae
what la my reopuualblrlty to the public."

Tho acthltles of the day were led by
Ambassador von Bernstorff und Congress
man Bartholdt.
Mr. Bartholdt presided at the afternoon
session, tin one occasion he tangled the
respective countries of tho Oerman and
Chinese diplomats, saying:
"I now have the honor of Introducing to
you the official representative of a nation
where militarism Is spelled with a small
m' and peace with a large 'P.' " said he.
"I have t lie honor to prooent his excellency,
Wu Ting Fang, minister of the Oerman
empire In the United States " The mis
take was soon noticed and the ehalrmon
was stopped by shouta of laughter. He
then announced that the negotiations which
have been dropped for a year or so for an
arbitration treaty between the United
States and Germany have been resumed.
Mr. Bartholdt declared that not one dollar
had been expended to fortify this country
against Canada, and that at the last Hague
conference America and Great Britain
stood together on a resolution for gradual
disarmament of the nations.
Fo the benefit of Mr. Matsubera, touch
ing on the late race trouble in California,
the congressman smilingly remarked that
war clouds In the United States have a
propensity for darkening the horlr-on Just
before the matter of appropriations for the
army and navy come up.
Only Fireworks In Session,
The only fireworks of the congress were
let off at the forenoon session, pieslded
over by Mr. Justice Moore of the supreme
court of Michigan.
It happened after tho congress had of
ficially adopted a platform In strict keep
ing with Its well known principles along
broad lines, carefully avoiding matters of
sectional or political controversy.
Mr. Simons arose with words of
"whereases." and "be It resolved," outlin
ing socialistic beliefs nnd accomplishments,
and attributing the causes of war to "the
exploitation of lalior and the Impoverish
ment of those who toll."
Great confusion followed. The regular
platform had been read and amidst the
turmoil aroused by the Simon resolutions
there were repeated calls for the original
question. On a viva voce vote tha report
nf the resolutions committee carried unani
mously. Then Simons resolution was discussed
amid a scene of further confusion.
J. J. Iglcluirt opposed the resolution, say-
Ing:
"My opinion la that this convention will
lose more or lets ot its moral force, espe
cially with the countries of Europe, If we
Interject a partisan view of any question
like this Into the record."
This declaration was received with ap
plause, and a motion to lay on the table
was promptly seconded. It finally was car
ried by a vote of two to one.
J. J. Sultaire of Milwaukee presented a
resolution deprecating tho alluring posters
used by the army and navy recruiting de
partments In seeking new material. Mr.
ftultalre declared that while there could
be no objection to legitimate advertising,
he branded the flaming posters used at
present as unwarranted lures which over
persuaded the youth of the land tb leave
their families. This motion, however, was
voted down.
