ROOSEVELT LIKENED TO PONTIUS PILATE. | Washington Senator Makes Scathing | Attack on Ex-President. | s Washington, April 10— Theodore Roosevelt was portrayed in the senate today as the counterpart of Pontlus Pllate.

This was the rule of actlon followed by Pilate nearly nine- teen hundred years ago. This is_the first time I venture to say, in our his- tory or in the history of any civilized people, that Pllate's rule of judical action has met the approval of any man, save those who would erucify Jesus, and they despise him for. fol- lowing it. “It former President Roosevelt had been standing on one side when Pilate delivered Jesus to the multitude, after having examined into the charges and found no fault in him, but at the de- mand of the people turned him over to them for crucifixion, he would have clapped his hands and exclaimed “Most righteous, most honorable, most just judge. At least he would have done this if he had been as progressive then as he is now, I am charitable enough to believe, however, that he would have been & reactionary.” Senator Poindexter, taking up his colleague’s comparison _of Colonel Roosevelt with Pontius Pilate, asked Senator Jones if he meant to draw & parallel between Senator Lorimer and - A Y 1o- | ed hers today to attend the demo w Samittee at- | State comvention which will ass o T ¢ memmbers at | at 10 o'clock eomorrow morning to se - g Houghton | lect 90 delegates to the national con- | - 3 i foas veution in Baltimore. is_conceded | ” . o ssence | bY the leaders that the New York dele- | 2 thie absence | sates will not be instructed, although 7 T 0 &% [ it is expected that the stato’s solid vote K ot ormer | Will be cast for May ¥ne | {0 ungeat LM | " Downward revision of the tarift will Amal oii | be made the paramount issue in the + » 5 the | Platform to be ented to the con- | v - e thin togk | tiom by the committea on resolu- | A LS & Beisgates | HoRS. to against TO SCALE DEPOSITS IN WINDSOR LOCKS BANK.| | Method Adopted to Mest Losses Due to Defaloation.

In the debate which followed, Sena- | tor Owen of Oklahoma proclaimed that Pllate was “an unspeakable scoundrel and a standpat, ple-eating politician from Rome.” ' The senator read coplous extracts from the bible as he 8poke. Senator Owen said that Sena- tor Jones had mistaken the charadter of Plate and the proceedings in the trial of Jesus and that Pilate was neither an ‘upright judge nor a pro- gresaive. Senator Jones interrupted to say that he did not defend Pilate nor criticize Christ. Senator Owen asserted that the essence of the doctrine of Christ was the moving force in the world- | wide progressive movement of the day and that the den of thieves Christ referred to in a part of the Bcriptures was a machine of the hierarchy of Jerusalem with which the common people hadq nothing to do. The original people, ho sald, did not cause @ reversal of l{)’nu.u:: b:tter Jjudgment, That was rought about by the templ led by the priests. e e L “In view of theso facts” shouted Senator Owen, “let us have no more of the Pontlus Pilate precedent” He said he would have had both Piiate and his judgment recalled.
