WASHINGTON, March 3 "If Andrew
Carnegie, who continually asserts the
cause of ,Qreat Britain, were the citizen
of any other nation, he would Ue charged
with treason," declared Senator Cham
berlain today, In the course of the Pan
ama tolls debate. "He haa never hesi
tated to spend his millions In endeavoring
in Inculcate a reciprocal feeling for Groat
Britain in the minds of the people of the
United States."
Mr. Chamberlain's attack on Mr. Car
regie came as the climax to an hour of
hot argument, during which Senator
Jones, who also opposed a repeal of the
tolls exemption, had read, under protest,
several letters attacking the contention
of President Wilson.
The debate was cut off when the sub
ject went over to tomorrow tinder par
liamentary procedure.
.tones nends Letter.
Senator Jones had read a letter from
William B. Markln of 20 Highland street,
Boston, assailing President Wilson's
contention and saying: "The president
should be recalled to the classic shades
of Princeton Instead of being permitted
to continue to bulldoze accredited repre
sentatives of the American people In
congress.
Senator Hoke Smith, Senator Lewis and
other democrats failed by various parlia
mentary tactics to prevent the reading
of the letter.
Senator Thomas, democrat, Interrupted
the reading of similar letters to ask Mr.
Jones' opinion of the president's motives
Jn urging repeal.
"I believe, the president to be acting
honestly and In accordance with his beBt
Judgment." said Senator Jones. "I am
Rlmpjy reading these letters to show the
feeling and Indignation among the or
dinary peonle of thSc3Ufftfrr-" - -
Tbonuut JProtjosta.
Senator Thomaa protested "against the
reading of letters Impugning the motives
of the president. He declared senators
should make such charges directly.
Senator Thomas criticised Senator
Jones as detracting from .the dignity of
th6 senate by reading letters that almost
charged the president with treason. Sen
ator Jones responded ho was not criticis
ing thfl president, but believed his corre
spondents had grasped the idea that the
Voople and congress were entitled to
know why congress should repeal free
tolls.
"Should foreign relations justify ,the
course, I am sure congress will support
the president. Irrespective of party, but
it Is entitled to know the reason on which
It aots," replied Senator Jones.
Thornton's Contention.
Senator Thornton contended that the
Markln letter was improper and should
not have been reoelved by the senate.
The incident of the letters ended with
Senator Chamberlain taking up his reso
lution to repeal the provision of the rivers
and harbors bill of 1884, Which forbids the
levying of toll on inland waterways. He
repeated his charge that the "Insidious
influences" behind the Panama canal re
peal were the Canadian Paclflo and other
ttanscontlnental railroads, but he hast
ened to add that he did not mean to in
timate the president was actuated by
those influences. He referred to the
president aa a "thoroughly patriotic gen
tleman, who believes in whatever he
does and that he la doing It for the best
Interests of the country."

Food Commissioner to Hun

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb.. March 25.-(9peclal.)
Governor Morehcad will not be a candi
date for renomlnatlon for the governor
ship on the democratic ticket this fall.
This Is the Information given by the ex
ecutive to John Zlnk of Grand Island this
morning, according to that gentlenrin.
This means that Congressman Johnny
Magulro will have to look to his laurels
for tho governor will mako the attempt
to crowd little Johnny off the democratic
race courso In an effort to land ths First
congressional nomination on the demo
cratic ticket.
In order that tho stalwart democrats
of tho stato will be in tho fight for ho
nomination, according to Mr. Zlnk,
democracy's little giant, the pride of
Grand Island, W. II. Thompson, will in
herit tho support that would have been
given the governor if he would have con
sented to run, and notwithstanding Mr.
Thompson has run many times and failed
to reach the goal, he is so used to run
ning that the stalwarts bellevo that ho
can make Brother Charlie Bryan or Mr.
Berge hunt their holes.
Hnrman In the Fifth.
On top of this, after a eonferonco with
Clarence Harman In the office of the lat
ter, Mr. Zlnk left that official feeling ex
ceedingly good for the food commissioner
had promised that he would announce his
candidacy for the Fifth district nomina
tion for congress on the democratic ticket
before the week Is out, all of which goes
to show that Mr. Zlnk can do something
else besides make cigars or pass laws
regulating the sire of bed sheets to nine
feet long.
In coming to Lincoln and pulling off
such a stunt it has been demonstrated
that the democratic party of Nebraska
has a new leader In Mr. Zlnk. Time after
time have very closo friends of Governor
Morehead and leading democratic poll
tlclnns and statesmen used every pursua
slon to get tho govornor to come out and
cast his hat In ether the governorship
ring or the congressional ring, but to no
avail. However, Mr. ZJnk cornea to town
and after a short conference with the
governor presto, announcement Is made
that the executive has mado up his mind
not to run for governor.
Food Commissioner Ont.
Then Mr. Zlnk slips up to the office of
the governor's appointee who has long
been considering whether ho would file
for the Fifth district nomination for
congress on the democratlo ticket and,
presto, again, out comos the food com
missioner for thenomltiatlon. Then Mr.
Zlnk makes a fow more mysterious passes
in the air, mutters a fow mastr nmrria
and, presto, jwthird-tlme out pt.tu dem
ocartlc hat Jumps W. H. Thompson for
governor.
If there is anv furth
that tho democratlo party- haa found its
Moses it will probably bo shown In n f ti-
days when Andrew Morrisaey will go back

Seidel and Bading
Named in Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE, Wis., March 25.-Mayor
Bading, nonpartisan, and Emll Seidel, so
cialist, were nominated for mayor at yes
terday's primary and wlU figure in the
municipal contest for chief executive of
Milwaukee on April 7.
Seidel led the field with 21.064 votes,
against 20,022 for Bading. Former Mayor
David S. Ilose ran third with 17,611 and
Theobald OUen last with 2,S75. All but
Seidel were on tho non-partisan tickets.
Indications are that the socialists nomi
nated six aldermen at large, they being
carried along with the vote of Seidel.
Yesterday's primary was the first non
partisan contest ever held In Milwaukee.
While Seidel polled more than 21,000
votes yesterday, against 17,000 at the pri
mary of two years ago, he received some
30,000 when elected mayor four years ag9.

asked by the federal government,

Judge Walter Evans In federal court.
The court held that certain communica

The following resolution Introduced In

Indispensible in
Modern Warfare
VALLEJO, Cnl., March 15. The fact
that a typewriting machine waa needed
by one of the United States warships
now In Mexican waters was responsible
for a "wur scare" at tho Mare Island
navy yard yesterday.
Information leaked out that the collier
Justin, which had been ordered to Mexico,
would put In at San Diego, and a rumor
was circulated that the purpose of the
stop waa to take aboard ammunition for
the flchtlng vessels stationed off Marat
Ian and other Mexican ports.
Captain Frank M. Bennett, commandant
at the yards stuck a plu in the war-talk
bubble last night with the following state
ment: "The collier will stop at San Diego to
pick up an extra typewriter now on board
one of the vessels there. If any war talk
has arisen from the order, kindly blame
It on the typewriter. It aeems that one
of the vessels In Mexican waters Is shy
a machine, and therefore the collier must
tako one down there. Typewriters are
indispensable In modern warfare."

because his father was paid tl.OO) to ills
inteM his suit, defeats the, rights or sub
stantial JUstlce, la an allegation made In
an amended motion for a new hearing
filed by the lad'a attorneys, M. L, Dono
van and T. A. Donohoe.
They are fighting to secure, for Ralph
his right to a trial of his case by a Jury,
whtch la called by lawyers his right to
"his day in court." A large part of the
11,000 already haa been spent for ex
penses, while Ralph has received no
money for hla Injury In his own namo
and as yet has no artificial limb, but la
compelled to hobble to and from school
on crutches.
As grounds for the assertion that the
ends of Justice were defcatod by Judge
English's decision auatatnlng the settle
ment of tho railroad's lawyer, J. A. C.
Kennedy, with Ralph's father, the fol
lowing allegations are made;
To have oustalned plaintiffs motion
could not have prejudiced the rights of
the railroad company, as It would only
havo given plaintiff his day in court and
hl constitutional right to a trial by Jury.
By overruling aatd motion plalntlffn
only recourse Is an appeal to the supreme
court, which w1ll require plaintiff to
wait at leant two years for a decision.
Defeat Plaintiff's lllnhts.
Should the supreme court sustain plain
tlfra contention It would nevertheless
mean only the defeat of plaintiff's rights,
aa the whereabouts of the witnesses two
yeara hence will undoubtedly be un
known; that the physical facts relied
upon by plaintiff to prove the negligence
of the railroad company and which con
tributed to plalntlffa Injury will be
changed and perhaps entirely removed.
All costs of appeal must be advanced
by plaintiff, whether plaintiff's conten
tion Is right or wrong, whereas to sua
tain said motion said railway company
wduld not evon be prejudiced by payment
of costs, unless found liable for plaintiffs
Injuries.
It la also alleged In tho lost legal move
mada In Ralph's behalf that Judge Eng
lish erred In making a finding on tho
facta In pafslng on a motion, and that
he declined to call witnesses into court
to question them as to the facts. It Is
alleged that the testimony of Uie brake
man who pulled Ralph from beneath a
car nnd of other trainmen and of a num
ber of boys who saw the accident, In
cluding one lad who picked up a piece of
bone from Ralph's leg, waa available if
the Judge had consented to hear It
One allegation says that tho court erred
In finding that Ralph's "adjustment"
with the railroad company's lawyer was
"fair and reasonable," when there waa
no evidence that the boy himself had in
fact received anything.

"The suggestion Is absolutely without
