JEFF DAVIS STARTLES THE SENATE Declared He Would Like to See John D. Rockefeller Consigned to Hell—Senator from Arkansas Was Speaking Against Oil and Gas Fipe Line Crossing ‘the Public Lands of His State. ‘WASshington, Feb. 17.—Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas startied the senate today with the declaration thit he would like to see John D. Rockefeller consigried to perdition and burned in flam<y caused by the consumption of the products of the Standard OIl com- pany. He spoke in opposition to 4 bill authorizing an oil and gas pipe line across the public lands of Arkansas. “Qil Don’t Smell Good to Me.’ Accusing Senator Oien, sponsor of the bill, of a business connection with the Standard company, he engaged in a. spirited colloquy with that senator. Fhe bill was passed at a previous ses- sion of the senate and was recalled by Mr. Owen -to accommodate Mr. Davis. In his speech Mr. Davis contended that the. admission of the pipe line into Ar- kansas would violate the anti-trust laws of his state. He said that hell was the only place he would be willing to see the Standard Oil company’s pipe line enter, and that he would also be ————————— sttt et VICE PRESIDENT APPOINTS SELECT COMMITTEE To Investigate Increased Cost of Live- ing—quuiry Will Be Thorough. ‘Weshington, Feb. 17.—Vice President Sherman today appointed as the select committee to investigate the increased cost of living Senators Lodge (chair- man), Gallinger, McCumber, Smoot, Trawford, Simmons and Clarke of Ar- kansas. Mr. Sherman announced that in aec- cordance with custom he offered the chairmanship to Senator Elkins, au- , thor of the resolution under which the inquiry is to be conducted. Mr. EI- kins, however, being, engaged with the administration commerce bill, will be unable to serve. It now appears un- likely that hearings will be held by the committee: Chairmah Lodge will call his associ- sntes together as soon as possible to consider the best procedure. Person- elly he is of the opinion that more can be accomplished by calling to the as- sistance of the committee experts in the various executive departments who have special knowledge of the many subjects to be probed. Mr. Lodge said today that the inves- tigation will be thorough and will cover fully thé wide scope provided for in the resolution reported from the finance committee. He said that if the tarif® is reported for the increased cost of necessaries of life, the committee will not hesitate to bring out all the THE CORPORATION TAX BILL. “Two More Attagks on Constitutionality of Its Provisions. ‘Washington, Feb. 17.—Two more at- tacks on the constitutionality of the corporation tax provisions of the Al- drich-Payne act have ap] in ap- peals to the United States supreme eourt.

Ly- man, also of Massachusetts, against the Interborough Rapid Transit com- pany of New York city, involving th2 same constitutional question, counsel today filed & motion to advance the case for hearing on March 14, when the other corporation tax cases are 10 he heard. The Eliot case is unique in :his ltigation in that it is the only one of the corporation tax suits In which the | judge in the ecircuit court announced | an opinion. Counsel for Eliot contend- ed. that the law was unoonstitutional because the trust in question had no capital stock.

FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA glad t6 see Mr. Rockefeller “incinerat- ed in the flames caused by his own oil.” He went on to say that “oil &idn"L smel good to him and that he didr’t like it.” Then he exclaimed, in sonorous tone: “Before God, Mr. President, I'd rather have my right hand forget its cunning, my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth and the mother who bore me disown me than appear here as an advocate of such a concern as the Standard Oil company.” Bill Was Passed. Davis closed his speech with another reference to J. D. Rockefeller, whom he characterized as an “old sly fox,” tnt he admitted that he had many frisnds, in_ecourt and out. Mr. Davis asked for a roll. call ¢n the vote, but the request was denisd.

PAGE 2 PRESENT HIGH PRICES OF MEATS President of American Meat Packers’ Association Before Federal Grand Jury. Chicago, Feb. 17.—Michael Ryan, president of the Cincinnati Abattoir company and organizer of the Ameri- can Meat Peckers’ association, was a witness before the federal grand jury in its investigation of the methods of the so-called “beef trust.” After leav- ing the jury room Mr. Ryan said that a shortage of crops and the raising of too few animals for slaughtéer were re- sponsible for present high prices of meats. Mr. Ryan said that the annual sale of meats amount to about $1,300,000,000, of which 60 per cent. is sold by tac in- dependent dealers. He added that the meat business was so great that it was impossible for one organization to control is absolutely. A prediction that the price of meat would decline to a normal basis within a year if the coming season’s crops are plentiful .and if mere farmers would raise live stock was made by Mr. Ryan. THE LICENSING OF AUTOMOBILES Would Produce a Million Dollars Reve- nue Per Year. ‘Washington, Feb. 17.—Representa- iives of automobile owners of the coun- try appeared before the house inter— state committee today to advocate some sort of federal law that would place them upon a uniform basis and relieve them from the “freakish” op- erations of conflicting laws of the va- rious states. The federal license biil introduced by Representative Cocks of New York was being considered. L. R. Speare of Boston, president of the American Automobile association, opposed the provision which would, regulate the licensing of automobiles according to horse power. He exolain- ed that a machine of small power but running rapidly might do more dam- dge than a machine of greater power running at a slower rate. It was stated that the Cocks kill would produce a million dollars annu- ally in revenue for the federal go: each machine. There are machines in this country, and with 1le output of 1910 added the total vuld be about six hundred thousand cars. ‘With but one-third of this number taking out federal licenses, the zov= ernment would derive the large reve- nue above stated. RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Two Connecticut Items Added in Sen- ate, Both for Surveys. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, Feb. 17.—The river and as reported to the house passed without an amendment as far as Connecticut is concerned, and the Connecticut members are all greatly pleased with what they received for the state: There will probably be only two Connecticut items. added In the senate, and both are for surveys. Sen- ator Brandegee has already given no- tice. of an amendment calling for a survey of the Thames river, with a view ~of providing a fourteen—foot channel from Poquetanuck drawbridge to Kitemaug. Senator Brandegee today also pro- posed an amendment for a survey of East Haven harbor. Both requests will probably be granted, Senator Bulkgley early in the session intro- duced a biH for Duck Island harbor of refuge, but as the house bill provided for an eppropriation of $60.000 for this harbor Senator Bulkeley will not press his bill.

Faciery Disirvibators of Leading Makes of Piance '%iria.tlun&. being satisfied with the house - During the discussion of the bill in the house the amount of appropria- tions for Connecticut was touched up- on by Representative Moore of Penn- sylvania, who is greatly interested in the project for spending large sums of money on eastern waterways, to offsec the - expenditures proposed on_ the Mississippi river. Mr. Moore wasétry- ing to show that the east is not re- ceiving its share of the river and har- ‘bor appropriations, and he asked the chairman of the committee if he could state how much the government has appropriated singe the. beginning of time in -the state of Conmecticut for rivers and harbors. Mr. Moore had to answer his own question, and said: “About $5,000,000 on a present annual tonnage of 5,000,- 000 tons. And $5,000,000 appropriated to that state and all its rivers and harbors since the beginning of time is less than you propoge to put into the Mississippi for one year, where the commerce is not equal to that of the single state of Connecticut today.” Mr. Alexander replied to this: “Na- ture helped the harbors of Connecti- cut, as it helped many others. Great amounts of money must be expended on ‘harbors -where nature has had to be improved upon.” And that ended the incident. PRES. GOMPERS ADVOCATES NEW COMPENSATION LAW.
