(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (Special Tele
gram.) A sharp in-otest against delay In
the Benate on the bill to restrict tem
porary Injunctions by federal courts
against state statutes and orders of state
officials was made by Senator Crawford
of South Dakota today. Disclaiming any
inientlon of criticising the senate Judlcl
ury committee, Senator Crawford warned
the senate that they would have to
recognize the growing public discontent
over the situation as to federal injunc
tions. He alluded to the message of the gover
nor of South Dakota dcing with this
evil, and stated that rate reductions in
his state had been blocked by federal
Injunction.
I "I Bay to senators that If this congress
.refuses to consider a situation of this
kind," said Senator Crawford, "you will
simply leave It to the next congress, be
cause whether It Is a political question
or not, I do not believe an American
congress will permit this sort of practice."
Ho declared further that extortionate
lumber rates to the Black Hltls were
maintained by federal Injunction against
orders of tho South Dakota railway com
mission against them, and that the In
junctions, were frequently communicated
by wire so as to block proposed reduc
tions. .
This, he declared, was a vicious prac
tice demanding seriouB and Immediate
:ons!deratlon.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. - (Speclal.)
Representatlve Sloan mado his debut as
a full fledged member of tho agricultural
committee today In a speech brlstlln'g
with facts and figures having relation
to tho appropriation to' make demonstra
tions and otherwise aid the stntcs In tho
eradication of hog cholera. This came In
tho form of an amendment to tho agri
cultural bill now under consideration,
growing out of a Bill Introduced by Mr.
Sloan last August.
While tho appropriation of $13,000 was
not as large ,as ho had hoped for, he
felt that it was un excellent beginning.
During tho program of tho debato on
tho bill, Representative Fowler of 1111'
nols, branded the American meats of
commerce as filthy and unhealthy. Mr.
Sloan took strong exception to this stato
ment, declaring "American meats as pre
pared for commerce were generally care
fully and scientifically inspected and pre
sented clean uhd healthful to tho con
sumers at home and abroad; lind It came
with exceeding bad grace from the
gentleman from Illinois to Blander tho
largest and most valuable production of
our great agricultural industry, when tho
means for informing himself were Im
mediately at hand In evidence taken be
fore the committee .of expenditures in
the agricultural department."
The statement brought rounds of ap
plause from both sides of tho chamber.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8. Club women who re
cently conducted an egg sale went into
the applo business today und It was an
nounced tonight that about 30,000 barrels
had been disposed of. The sale will con
tinue tomorrow. .'
The apples were on sale in about hp.lt
the grocery stores of Chicago. No money
was Invested by the women, but they ar
ranged the buying and selling prices and
took orders for apples.
All apples were sold at less than the
price which has been asked for them by
retail dealers In the last few weeks. Many
apples are said to be In cold storago
awaiting a, rise in price and it. was this
condition which caused the women to
start tho sales.

I near to cutting in 11 fist ft.ht was held

I Secretary of tho Interior. Senator Cop 1
J Crawford of South Dakota iiml hi ool
j leagues. Senator It. J. Gamble and Repre
sentatives Kben W. Mnrtln ntnl Clinrle
It. Httrke, were thi participants. Mr,
Crawford made charger ntfulnst Messrs.
Gamble, Burke and Martin that aroused
bitter feeling, und Societnry FlsWr had
ft great deal ot trouble In preventing the
combatants from coming to bbtws.
' Ostensibly the row wns provobed over
a recommendation made by Senator Gam
ble that tho Chamberlain and Orugory
laud districts bo consolidated, and that
1 tho headquarters of the new district bo
located ut Carter, S. D. Mr. Craw ford
charged that Senator Gamble was acting
1 In tho Interests of the Northwestern rail
1 road. The fight between Mr. Crawford
j on the 0110 hand and Messrs. Gamble.
' Burke and Martin on the other grows out
I of tht recent election of Deah Sterilng as
1 successor to Senator Gamble. Crawford
I charges that his colleagues attempted to
I defeat Sterling despite the fact that Stor
, ling was tho ehob- In the primary,
j Crnivforil In Flirhttnv -Mood.
, The scene In Secietary Fisher's office
j was almost riotous. Crawford denounced
I his colleagues In unmeasured teims. em
ploying lauguagQ at times that prompted
I Secretary Fisher to call for order. At
' one point Crawfod hinted at corruption,
j Secretary Fisher Bald he had been
I through" these controversies beforo and
j was not altogether without experience In
I considering them; ho understood how
; politics enters Into them, and ho said
that about all he could say for the case
. before him was that It had lent Interest
to whnt otherwise might have been n
very dull afternoon. Ab to acting In the
1 matter, the secretary said he first would
I v:?n::!J!:!!lt!L:h:i,,!!;i,,vl:!Zs
to do In tho way of extending Its line to
Carter. He did not think It would bo
wise to nntlclpate the building of tho ex
tension. He will learn definitely from tho
president of the road. Secretary Fisher
said tho mere fact that Home interest
or sony individual would bo benefited by
the location of thp land office nt a cer
tain point would not deter him from lo
cntlng It at that point If he was con
vinced that this point wns the proper
place for It.
The hearing was the result of a letter
written Janunry 21 by Senator Crawford
to Secretary Fisher In which tho senator
snld he understood that tho proposed lo
cation of the land office nt Carter wns
to be a reward to tho sons of Frank D.
Jackson, former governor of Iowa, for
nn alleged attempt to defeat Dean Ster
ling for tho United States senate, and
that Senator Gamble and Representatives
Burke and Martin would un'JL- In an f
fort to bring this about. Senator Craw
ford sent n copy of this letter to Presi
dent Taft, saying, "I think you ought to
know whnt tho real Influences nre back
of a scheme of this kind."
In his communication to Secretary
ITIsher, Senator CrawfoiM snld ho had re
ceived Information regnrdlng tho pro
posed establishment of a new land
office at Carter, and he considered It his
duty to protest ngnlnst tho making ,of
such an order. This wns In view, ho
snld, of tho kind of Influences which hnva
been brought to bear In tho matter. Tho
letter continued:
"The Interest of a few townslto boom
ers and the Interest of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company have In
this particular coso been coupled with the
political Interest of my colleague, Mr.
Gamble, a candidate for re-election to the
sonato. Thoso Interests have been united
so closely In the matter aw to put upon
It a character which tho department enn
not afford to recognize and sanction."
(niAble Di-feml Action.
Secretary Fisher nt the request of
Senator Oamblo called tho hearing for
this afternoon and also at the request, In
vited Senator Crawford nnd Representa
tive Burke and Mnrtln to bo present.
Senator Gamble mado a brief opening
statement, pointing out upon a map of
South Dnkota, the location of Carter
and saying It. would ho moro convenient
to tho new land that will bo opened to
settlement than Gregory, and that Cham
berlain had outlived Its usefulness as a
location for a land office. Ho denied tho
Imputations ngulnst himself contained In
the letter of Senator Crawford and said
he had not been a candldato for tho
senate beforo the legislature.
Crntvford llciietta Clmi-fre.
Senator Crawford said there was
nothing In tho letter ho desired to retract
Ho declared the Jackson Bros.' wholo
scheme was a bunko gamo and that
Jackson Bros, were In cahoots with ths
Northwestern road. The movement (s a
conspiracy, tho Benatnr continued, to dl.
regard the rights of the people who will
bo living there long after the promotors
have "folded their tents liko tho Arabs"
and silently stolen away. As to Carter,
the sonator said It contained a fow
stragglers, possibly ten people, Including
half breeds, It Is located, he snld, seven
teen miles across the burning prairie
from a railroad.
Representative Burke said there was
no foundation for the statements con
tained In Senator Crawford's letters. He
knew the Jacksons were high class busi
ness men who had done a great deal
toward developing the Rosebud country,
Mnrtln Nut In It.
Mr. Martin declared Senator Craw
ford's mention of his name In connection
with this mutter had been purely
gratuitous. No one had talked with him
about this land office,
Senator Gamble, following Mr. Martin,
said Senator Crawford had mado an
oration, but had presented no facts.
Benator Crawford retorted that he could
furnish some Interesting Testimony if the
secretary desired Hi.
It was then that Secretary Fisher said
there waa no necessity for this, that even
If what he had said In his letter wero
true, the department would not ' be
doterred from locating a land office a j
near to the people as possible, regard- '
less of whom It might benefit.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8. Horinan Rosen,
that's one-t:mo partner In gambling plckod
up tho broken threads of Rosenthal's
story today and told tho aldermniilo com
mitted Investigating graft a talo of money
paid for pollen protection eclipsing thnt
of Jack Roso, Charles lleoker'w collector.
For Boventccn years, James I'urcoll snld,
ho had paid for tho prlvtlego of running
a gambling house, mailing a hand book
or conducting a pool room. In all bo gavo
the. police moro than jriO.000, ho declared,

Former Sheriff Harvey of Queens
county, Police Inspector McLaughlin, halt
a dozen potlco captains, Including a
brother-in-law of Charles F. Murphy, tho
Tammany lrndcr, nnd scores of wnrd heel,
ors and policemen, somo now on tho force,
others off, wcro among tho men who got
the money, ho said. Once, ho said, ordersvj
cam a "Indirectly" from Murphy himself
to closo up. Ho moved nt once.
Charles Recker, now In the death house
nt Sing Sing for tho murder of Rosenthal,
got 1350 from him for "fixing" the evi
dence against him nnd flva others taken
In a raid Recker mado on his gambling
house, I'urcoll declared, nccker was then
head of tho "strong arm" squad for tho
suppression of gambling.
One lloncat Police Officer,
"I havo paid money to every squad
that was ever detailed from headquarters
to suppress gambling, except one," Pur
cell testified. "They nil took tt, except
this eminent Kuropean authority to the wealthiest health
who frequent tho famous baths of Carlsbad) is especially
'
raoe-Nuts
"There's a Reason"
Costlgnii's. Costlgan was on the level."
In return for this protection money.
Purcoll said, the pollco generally let him
alone. When they had to act on com
plaints from tho outside thoy "tipped him
off," ho declared. Ho always moved to
another houso when thus Informed. For a
while, ho moved every day.
1'ollco commissioners, Inspectors and
captains emtio and went during tho ttma
l'urcelt wns operating In tho tenderloin,
ho snld, but it made no difference. Col
lectors for tho "system" came around
regularly every week or every month.
When ho was making a handbook ho pa'.d
them J2.1 n week; when lyt was running1
a pool room or gAmbllng houso he paid
from ICO to $100 11 week. When ho was
doing nothing ho pnld nothing.
What becamo of tho money after It
reached tho hands of the captains or In
spectors, Purcell did not know. He had
an Idea, gained from among his fellotyj
In the tenderloin, that some of it went
"hlghor up," but ho could not say, hu
testified us to that.
l'urcelt said ho operated for twelve
years In ono pollco precinct the twenty
first and probnbly did business durlur
thnt porlod at. half a hundred place. Nam
ing the mcn who collected protection
mony from him each week, he said thev
actcd for Pollen Captains McCllntock,

and tlrny. Tho last named Is brother-in-law
to Charles F. Mnrp'hy.
"I got permission from Mike Cruise, a
Tammany leader, to open a gambling
houso In Thirty-third street," Purcell
sulil, "Crulso wanted $50 a week tor
himself, tho snpie for Captain Gray and
$10 a pleco to the two men who came to
collect the money each week. So for u
while I paid them $120 a week."
"How long did you pay this money?1
"For five weeks. Then a filend of mlna
culled upon tho telephone nnd said Mur
phy had ordered my place closed. Mur
phy's word was good enough-for ma: I
