VOLUME 3. NUMBER 228. TILLMAN WAS REPRIMANDED Senator From South Carolina Was Re- buked During An Address For Using Bad Language. SEVERE ATTACK ON THE PRESIDENT Washirgton, Jan. 18.—An impres- slve and almost sensational scene oc- curred in the senate during the day. Mr. Tillman was severely arraigning the president and Mr. Hale, in a firm and intense manner, declared that Mr, Tillman had no right to vent his per- sonal feeling against the president in any such way as he was doing. Mr. Tillman declared that he was not al- lowing his personal feeling to enter into the subject. Owing to his high regard for the senator from Maine he would listen to Mr. Hale’s reprimand without losing his temper. The criticism which 'Senator Till- man was making related to the eject- ment of Mrs. Minor Morris from the ‘White House, which, he said, was the most pitiful example of anything that has ever been associated with a pres- ident. Mr. Tillman charged that Mr. Roosevelt had been made by the press and that he now sought to control the press and that “news pills” were ad- ministered by Secretary Loeb. When anything was said that the president did not like there was great wrath at the executive mansion. It was at this point that Senator Hale delivered his rebuke to the South Caroiuna senator. After protests had been made by Mr. Hale, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Daniel against the bringing in of an investi- gation resolution concerning the Mor- ris episode Mr. Tillman declared with much feellng that he would offer the resolution “as a senator and a man” and he would “put it up to the sen- ators to do what they ‘wilL” . He charged that the president had utterly failed to show the instincts of a gen- tleman in ignoring the acts of his un- derlings in' heaping brutalities upom defenseless women. ‘W ashington, Jan, 18.—-Senat e 1ill- man today introduced a resolution for investigation of tre recent forceful ejection of Mrs. Morris from the ‘White House. After a brief statement by the author, Mr. Daniel, of Vir- ginia, moved to lay the resolution on the table. The motion prevailed,fifty- four to eight. DIVIDED ON THE QUESTION. National Beard of Trade and Rate Regulation. Washington, Jan. 18.—At the day’s ression of the National Board of Trade | the committee on interstate commerce | law presented its report, which Chair- | man Coates of Philadelphia declared to be a compromise. It was stated that some of the mem- bers of the committee were opposed to any governmental interference with the railroads in the matter of ratemak- ing, while other members were in fa- vor of more drastic legislation than that proposed by the resolution. Oth- s, the chairman said, believed in| to the interstate commerce commission originel mtemnkingg power, subject to review by the courts, | fnstead of giving the courts original jurisdiction of the question of the rea. sonableness of rates, as proposed- in | the resolution. After a general dis- cussion, in which these several views were expressed, the compromise re- port was adopted by a large majority.

Both lines carry every day many thousands of passengers. The reason given by Dr. Doty for the stoppage of the cable lines is that the lives of passengers are imperiled by the fact that the gates on the left side..of the cars are left open while they traverse two squares on Wabash avenue between Randolph and Mad- ison. streets. The two lines pass in ‘Wabash avenue, the ears of the State street line going north, while those of the Wabash line go south. .The right side of the cars is the near side in passing.

When the fiw squares have been passed the 8 on the left side of the cars have een closed. The action of the city is zenernll) thought to be the first of active meas- es}_to be taken against the street ear ;mpany The company has de- ared to the city that it would not ac a franchise extension ordinance nowi'pending before the city council and ithat it would not hereafter hold any more conferences with the council ¢om ittee on local traction.
