II e
WASHINGTON. Jan. 17-Thls was field
day for th so-called republican "Insur
gents" In the senate, "liming Hale" was
th favorite pastime, but "grilling Oal
linger" was a close second In point of
popularity.
The "progressives" who played leading,
roles in the drama were Senator Cummins,
riiim Ttnrah and Hi-ovrn and the occasion I
was offered when Senator Galllnger .ought !
. . i
to have a dav fixed lor a vote on n-s '
ocean ship subsidy bill.
Immediately or Mr. Galllni;er -notion, ,
Senator C'app Interposed an emphatic oh-
.lection. He was follower! by Mr. Cummins. I
who enjoyed himself nt the expense of Mr.
Oallinger. Then Senator Hnle arose and,.
Informed the senate that th fixing of
lays for votes never would do, that If such
a practice were Indulged no business of a
general nature could be transacted at the 1
present session. Its deplored the waste of
ilme and irged' the senate to gult drifting
and "get down to business."
Krnator Borah sugxeated that he agreed
with Mr. Hale, but Intimated that in his
own opinion the senator from Maine was
not practicing what he preached, that the
latter, when tbe resolution providing for
direct election of Tutted States eenators
was offered last Friday tried to prevent
consideration by moving an amendment.
Hnle Ilefenda Himself.
Mr. Hale defended himself vigorously,
repeating his warning of complete failure
of general legislation.
Apparently In furtherance of a plan of
the "old guard" to still the rising sionn.
Senator Qallinger moved that the bill he
laid aside until tomorrow. Senator Brown
Insisted thst consideration of the bill pro
ceed.
Senator Ualllnger argued that the grant
ing of the proposed bounty would do nvteh
toward breaking up the "Illegal Kuropean
ship combine."
Henator Burton would not consent that
any such combination could be dissolved
by "a subsidy-fed tine." and when Mr.
Oallinger expostulated with him, he de
manded that tha New Hampshire senator
should state his object In trying to ot
tain subsidy legislation.
"My object Is patriotic," responded Mr.
Oallinger. "I do not want to see our bnt
tlashlpa convoyed around the world again
by foreign colliers."
Again responding, Mr. Burton character
ised this expreaelon as "sentiment," and
sentiment would bs well iou,h," he added.
"If not too often accompanied by unwar
ranted drafts on the treasury."
For ths moment Mr. Oallinger was visibly
vexed. He said tho remark waa unwar
ranted and ha retorted that be bad not
been In the habit of putting his hands Into
the treasury vaults. When, however. Mr
Burton said that no personal allusion had
been contemplated, his antagonist was
mollified and the day ended peacefully. If

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 -In a aharp tilt
today between Senator Beverldge and Sen

much to explain In the action of the con
ference committee on the Payne-Aldrich

clause which he said was particularly ob
noxious to the so-called "tobacco trust."
i he matter came up when Mr. Beverldge
nought to discover when his anti-coupon
hill would be reported by the finance com
mittee. Mr. Smoot resented the insinuation and
declared Independent tobacco manufactur-
era were nimniid in fh. lcriai-

"Ill-ask the senator." insisted Mr. Bev
erldge, "If the American Tobacco company,
known as the trust,' was not against the

"Only In part," letorted the Ntah sen
ator, but he had no chance to go Into de

him for particulars aa to th independent
manufacturers who were seeking a hearing
on the proposed law. He wrung an ac-
knowledgement from Mr. Smoot that only
three such manufacturers had expressed a
desire to appear before th eflnance com

facturers
in question were' anything but
independent and gave nolle that unless

! LINCOLN. Jan. 17. (Special. t In the on-
lest over the seat In the house of repre-
srntatlvea for Seward county, now held by I
j Henry Srheele, the local organization of I
the Anti-Saloon league will take an active'
; part. The Anil-Saloon league' attorney, I
I Thomas Harnall. Is preparing a case for!
I Wertman. the republican contestant, and j
j If Wertman's lawyer. Attorney Norval,
I fails to appear at the hearing set for
I Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. 1 arnall
! will try to enter the hen ring on behalf of
j the contestant.
The league is Inieremed because, as J. F.
Carson. axslHtant state suerlntendent. said
today, "The fate of county option depends
to a very great extent upon the result of
this contest. Wo believe that Wertman.
the republican, and a county optionist, was
really the successful candidate and we are
prepared to prove It."
.eheele" oe Hal.
The loss of Soheele's vote to the wets and
the gain of Wertman to the dry forces
ould very probably give county option a
majority of one or two .votes In the house.
This fact has been clearly seen by the wets
all along and accounts for the efforts said
to have been made by the wets under the
leadership of Fuller of Seward, the same
county, to pack the committee on privi
leges and elections. The slate prepared by
the wets In the committee on committees,
which they were compelled by the nine drys
to break up, had the committee on privi
leges and elections entirely a wet affair.
As it stands now there are seven demo
crats, one of whom Is dry, and four dry
republicans. Lawrence Is chairman and the
othr democrats are Leidlgh, Norton,
Hrtcht. Began, Grossman and Grueber.
Norton Is dry and would for that reason
1 reliably stand with the republicans. The
republicans are Stehbins. Gustafson. Ellis
and H. G. Taylor. The vote will probably
be six to five on a straight wei and dry
division.
Truing Hind Member.
The Anti-Saloon league, which reoently
underwent a reorganization in the state
office when the books of State Supeereln
tendent Potilson were audited and Olstrlct
Superintendent J. F. Carson of Hastings
was brought to Lincoln bh asslatant state
superintendent with especial charge of the
finances, is prepared to hold the members
who promised county option as the league
sees It to their promises, although any ef
fective county option legislation will re
ceive the leugue'a sanction and support.
Superintendent Koulson himself has been
active among the leeglslators. although lie
has failed to call upon the goveernor,
which fact has caused soma commeent In
the governor's office. The Poulaon meas
ure will be submitted to the members of
the county option committee, of which Sen
ator Oil In Is chairman, which was ap
pointed last night at the conference of all
the county option men of both parties and
houses. If the committee draws up a
measure which seems to the league oKl
cials to be an Ineeffectivo law they will
oppose It. They have already takeen occa
sion to warn some legislators by letter of
maneuver which they thought originated
from the brewery forces.
The activity of the anti-saloon workers
Is causing some resentment among the
legislators, and the stron gfeeltng against
Poulson himself which has been In evi
dence In Lincoln for seme time fs being
used against county option.

LINCOLN, Jan. 17. (Special.)-The house
has again demonstrated Its constitutional
aversion to getting down to business and
finishing up the session by deciding to
have no more afternoon meetings this
week. The ostensible reason Is tha con
vention of agriculturalists, which some of
the farmer members want to attend.
C. H. Gustafson of Mead, representative
from Saunders county, was the most wor
ried man In Lincoln yesterday. He In
troduced a bill Into the house for what
he thought was a closed primary. When
th afternoon papers came out and he saw
that h was credited with a bill doing
away with all primaries ho lodged an In-
digant protest with all the reporters he
could find. When It was finally demon
strated to him that the bill was as It had
been described he asserted his Innocence
and threw the blame upon the legislative
reference department, whre the bill was
drawn. A mistake had been mad there
and h had Introduced hi bill without hav
ing th slightest Idea of Its real Import.

Shnntlaa from Front of
Ibe ;ller.
PARIS. Jan. 17. -The Chamber of Iiepti
tlen wa.i thrown Into a panic today by an
attempt on the life of Iremler Brland.-
Two revolver shof were fired at the mln-
Isterlal bench from the public g.itlery, but i
the premier was unharmed. One of the ,
bullets entered the leg of Leon Mlrman, :
director of the Department of tVie Ministry i
of the Interior. The wound Is not a serious i
one.
The aftsnllant Is a man of the name of j
Gisoime. who v.rs formerly a clerk of the j
courts of Bayonnc.
He was pounced upon by police officers i
before he could Us hi weapon again and
ii hurrltd from the place. M. Brland
was quickly surrounded by friends and
congratulated on his escape from death.
Only the poor markmanshtp of Glsolme
saved him from death or Injury.
Glsolme first attracted the attention of
those seated near him when he rose from
a seat near the center of the balcony and
pushed forward quickly to the railing.
Suddenly he whipped a revolver from his
pocket and aimed the weapon first in the
Reneral direction of the ministerial bench
and then deliberately upon M. Brland and
fired.
The first bullet. It Is thought, embedded
Itself In the woodwork near the premier's
seat. The report had scarcely died away
when the second shot was fired. It Is be
lieved this Is the one that struck M. Mlr
man. . "
Jules Ilazimhaud. the radical socialist
deputy, was making a speech when the
first shot rang out.
Many of the deputies laughed, thinking
the explosion was a Joke, but the second
report changed their mirth to anger.
Mlrman, sitting beside Premier Briand,
was seen to topple over, exclaiming as he
fell: "I am shot."
Cries of "Coward, coward," filled the
chamber as the spectators salxed theas
sallant, who was attempting to make his
escape.
Glsolme Is well known to the police, hav
ing been but recently liberated from an In
sane asylum In which he had been In
carcerated following an unsuccessful at
tempt which he mad on jth life of th
British consul In St. Sebastian. He was re
moved from the courts of Bayonne some

Say Country Ready
For Any Warfare
Minnesota Man Asserts Money Enough
Has Been Spent to Make Nation
Prepared.
' ,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Th army ap
propriation bill carrying appropriations
approximating 193,000,000 was passed by th
house today following an extended debate
over the war readiness of tho country.
The forsenlc guns of th house were
trained on war alarmists. Representative
Hull of Iowa started the proceeding dur
ing the pendency of tho army appropria
tion "bill, by denouncing Frederick Lewis
Huidlkoper, a Washington attorney, who
declared In an Interview published In a
local paper that the army was In a lament
able condition of unreadiness for war.
Mr. Hull spiritedly declared that It was
a crime to permit such allegations to pans
unchallenged and observed there were more
military critics In th United States than
In all the rest of the world.
Mr. Hull said the government had been
for some years accumulating reserve am
munition: that ia, nearly 28.000.000 rounds
for small arms, all that the country needed
to accumulate In public defense, waa al
ready In reserve and mora could be manu
factured aa rapidly as needed. He said
that ftO.OOO Improved Springfield rifles and
an ample aupply of Krag-Jorgensens and
other makes were on hand. Mr. Tawney
of Minnesota, chairman of th committee
on appropriations, declared that If this
country waa not In condition of prepared
ness after spending an amount almost
equal to the bonded indebtedness of the
United States at the close of the civil
war and five times as much as th cost
of the Pinimt canal, then, "If we ever
will be prepartd it will be when our nation
is bunampt and at the, expense of our
national credit "
