BREAGH OF JEFFERSON'S METHODS Senator Williams, fa Democrat, Deplores " Decision of President to Appear on Floor of House EXPRESSES HOPE,THAT IT WON'T OCCUR AGAIN | > Several Senators of Both Parties Express Regret at the Inno- vation—Technical #@bjection Raised to Joint Session of Two Houses Raised, But President a Rebuff—Bull Washington, April 7.—Congress, opening in_extraordinary session to- day under democratic dominetidh, was enlivened by the activities of a §ieaithy Jouth, the progressive organization in ihe house and an invasion of petition, Dbearing suffragettes. And even these novelties were overshadowed by the preparations for the precedent-break- ing event of tomorrow, when Presi- dent Wilson will deliver his tariff mes- ®age by word of mouth to the na- tion's law. makers. Progressives Start Trouble. Victor Murdock, leader of the hew progressive party in the lower branch, mided by his small band of followers, aitracted unusual interest and at the very outiset stirred up a fight over the seating of Representative B Olin Young of Michigan. The heralding of the coming of the president of the TUnited States, however, was the prin- cipal subject of official and unofficial discussion. The senate hesitated when a resolution, adopted previously by the house, providing for a joint ses- sion tomorrow to listen to President Wilson was presented for fits consid- eration. - Effort to Delay Resolution. It was a stunning proposal. Not in the lifetime of any veteran statesman present had such a thing even been considered. History, they supposed, had closed on that custom a century or more ago. First an eff as made to have the resolution lie*§ver under the rule, but Vice President Marshall ruled it was a resolution of theshigh- est privilege. Williams Deplores. Wilson's Course.

I hope for one that this will be the only in- stance of the breach of the perfectly simple and republican method which Thomas Jefferson introduced. I shall not oppose the resolution. I had hoped that some president at some time might have the courage to do away with the inaugural procession, that cheap and_tinsel imitation of a car- onation. About all that it does is to make a lot of people catch pnevmonia, fill the' Washington boarding houses and quicken trade, especially in the barrooms.” Ovations for Clark and Underwaod. Senaton Shafroth closed the argu ment with the remark: “The presi- dent’s coming here ought to produce harmony and not discord.” Opening proceedings in the senate | were ' perfunctory, but in the house | the legislative leaders were hailedl with wild applause as they appeared, and the galleries were crowded to over- flowing as the members, more than a third of them new ones, were sworn in. Majority Leader Underwopod and Speaker Clark were given Trousing ovations. Panama Canal Tolls Repeal. Thousands of bills we izitroduced in the house and scc s in the senate. The Panama canal toll question re- appeared within a few hours after the | session convened when Senator Root re-introduced his bill of Ik session for a repeal of that provission of the new Panama canal act which would permit American coastwise ships to enjoy freedom from toll ¢harges. The measure was referred to the commit- liams of Mississippi deprecated the president’s decision to enter & hall of halls and speak his mind to Sople’s representatives. He expres! the hope that such an event never would occur again during the admigistration and he doubted the wisdomi of the move, averring that it could not aid in bringing about the legislation for which the people were clamoring. Scramble for Tickets. In the house the resolution ' was adopted with debate as soofkas Major- ity Leader Underwood introduced it. There plans for the president’s wel- come took a gala aspect. Members. scrambled for the specialjtickets to the galleries issueq for the occasion which ‘is being looked cardeto as an especial event in the hibtory of the sdministration. 18 Progressive es. Orsganization of both houses of con- gress was partly concluded today, the senate having little to do Dbut mark time. Speaker Clark was reelected over James R. Mann (republican), and Victor Murdoc! (progressive), and other officers of the house also were reelected. The progressive strength was tested on the speakership, Mr. Murdock receiving 18 votes. ¢fhe new party, however, mustered more votes er in the fight on [Representative Young when it attempted to prevent his taking the oath of office by regolu- tion introduced by Representative Hinebaugh of Illinois.

The senate debated for nearly an hour, the concurrent resolution for & joint session tomorrow to hear Pres- Ident Wilson's message. No senator of the dozen who spoke on it, opposed the passage, but Several on both sides of the chamber expressed regret at the departure from the Jeffersonian custom of sendine in written messages. Technical objection to its adoption at today’s session except by unanimous consent was made by Senator Stone, supported by Senators Lodgs and Smoot. Vice President Saves Wilson. Senator Williams made the princi- pal speech, upholding the value of the Jefferson precedent, and Senator Todge was inclined to agree with-him. Vice President Marshall pragtically ended the debate by ruling that the resolution was of ihe highest priv- ilege and therefore smipject for action without unanimous cohsgnt at once. Although several senators spoke after the vice president’s ruling and fog a few minutes an appeal seemed certatn, it was not taken and the resolution adopted without a dissenting vote. Congress Should Pay Return Visit. | Senator Bacon had afked that the, resolution be adopted.

BOSTON TELEPHONE STRIKE 1S DELAYED “Hello Girls” Agree Not to Act Be- fore Wednesday Night. Boston, April 7—An attempt to set- tle the differences between the New England Telephone and Telegraph company and the 2,200 “hello girls” in_the metropolitan district resuited today in delaying any strike action un- til Wednesday night, at the earliest. Philip L. Spalding, president of the company, told a committee of the operators’ union tonight, following a three hours’ conference that he would reply by Wednesday evening to their demancy. Thes9 demarids incilude an eight hour day, a general increase in wages averaging about $1 a week, abolition of the so-called “split trick” and other improvements in working conditions, together with the establishment of a permanent joint board to consider matters affecting the company and its operators. President Spalding claimed that these demands, if grantéd, would cost the company $800,000 annually. This would be in addition, he said, to $800,- 000 which has been added to the oper- ting cost within the past year by con- fons to the employes. The telephone girls from the 54 ex- changes within the metropolitan dis- trict, which embraces Boston proper the suburbs within a radius of thirteen miles, voted today and tonight on the question of declating a strike. About 1,000 other employes of the < company, belonging to various unions, have already voted to strike if the g0 out.

Powers, counsel for the company, and a commission representing the unio | TAX REFUND TO NEW HAVEN ROAD. Nearly $100,000 Paid on Leased Lines “to Be Returned. New Haven, Conn., April 7.—The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has had pending in the courts a case on the one per cent. tax question decided today by the United States supreme court. The New Haven company has claimed that ite leased lines were not “doing busi- Dess” under the law and the taxation on the leases and also on net income of the lessee was double taxation. The company has, however, under protest, paid the tax on the leases for the last two_years. The amount to be refunded to the New Haven company for the two years is $61,173, which with the amount to be paid the current fiscal year would Tring it up to nearly $100,000. The im- portant leased lines igvolved were the Providence and Worcester, the Old Colony and the Boston and Providence. The tax on the Connecticut company forithe two years is an additional $10,- [ The Old Colony has paid a tax for the two years of $27,719. The result of this decision on the Boston and Maine, controlled by the New Haven, and which has ieases of ibout $5,100,000 a ar, is about the same as on the leased lines of the New Haven system. TWO BUILDINGS BURN AT PUTNAM FAIR GROUNDS Loss May Reach $2,000—No Available Water to Fight It. (Special to The Bulletin.) Putnam, April 8.—The exhibition hall and the exhibition building, two of the large structures at the Putnam fair grounds, were destroyed by a fire that broke out soon after 1 o'clock this morning. The origin of the fire could not be positively ascertained, but it is saig may have been caused by fire in the-stove in one of the build- ings which are now being used for au- tomobile storing and repair work. No general alarm was sent in for the fire department, but telephone calls brought a number of firemen to the scene. The fair ground buildings are outside the fire protection district so no water could be used’ upon ahem. Just what the amount of the damage will be could not be ascertained this morning. The hlazing buildings light- ed up the country for miles around, and the fire could be very plainly seen from Danielson. The fair_ ground property is_now owned by Michael R. Joy and Rich- ard Gorman, both of this city. The grounds have been abandoned for fair purposes for -nearly three years. Not considering the value of any contents the loss will probably be covered by $2,000, though the buildings could not be replaced for that sum Thirty-three Killed in Wreck.

The four men are charged with criminal negligence in their respective duties as officers of the road, said negligence causing the wreck of the train at Westport on October 3 last, which resulted in the deaths of seven persons. It is'the first time in the history of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company that any of its officials have been brought.to trial in the criminal courts of the state for the loss of life in a railroad wreck. Some years ago some road of- ficlals were brought to trial in New York state for alleged responsibility for a collision in_the tunnel above the Grand Central station,. but the action against them was dropped. .Indictments Contain Four Counts. The state's attorney has indicted them under four counts. Under the first count the four officials are charged with assault on the body of “Jane Doe,” whereby she was suffocated and burned to death in one of their car: The second count charges them with running their cars with such rapidity over the tracks that the car in which the said “Jane Doe” and others were sitting, ran off the track: that it was thrown upon the engine and caught fire and the flames from the fire communi- cated to the said “Jane Doe” causing her death. Criminal Negligence Charged.

Darling as he was leaving the house j that she would tell her husband all if he continued making the visits, She said Darlang’s answer ‘was, “You're in the game now and vou are in to st Olson always has stood in our way. Tl put him out of the way if you | tell him.” Mrs. Olson was followed on the | stand by Mrs. Darling, who testified that her husband was at home the night he is said to have spent with Mrs. Olson.

The president is reported as believing that if anti-alien legislation is neces- ens without discrimination. Congressman Kent’s Comment. Such a bill, while it might eliminate the cause for Japenese protest, would Meave for the courts, it is pointed out here, the question of its constitution- ality without involving any foreign gevernment in the case. ‘We don’t want any more riot prob- lems in this country,” was the only comment Representative Kent would make as he left the White House. U. S. Courts Will Nullify It. Meanwhile the state department giving careful study to the probable effect of the proposed legislation upon the existing treaty between the United States and Japan. The officials have no doubt that if the California legis- jature enacts a state law with the existing treaty its Would be promptly nuliified United States courts. Are Japs Eligible to Citizenship? Another point that is under consid- eration is the eligibility of Japanese to American cltizenship, for if they are cligible then the proposed Californian legislation admittedly would not meet he demand of the Californians for the ali is action by, the state. The Japanese claim that they are not Mongolians, prohibited from naturalization by Tnited States laws, | and only the lower courts in this coun- try’ hgve held otherwise.
