Every them- ber who could possibly attend was in hie place to hear the concluslon of the debate on the bill and to cast his vote. The Final Skirmish. Down in the well of the house Reo- resentative Underwood, flanked by his democratic members of the ways and means committce, led the final movement of the two weeks' battle to pass his bill, dominating the actions of the democratic side and wearily watching the parliamentary evolutions of the opposition. A few feet away were the leaders of the _opposition, Representative Mann of Illinols, with Representatives Payne of New York and Fordney of Michigan, the republi- can tariff experts, who for two weeks had maintained an unceasing fire of caustic criticisms and amendments, kept up their forlorn fight to change the provisions of the bill. The last skirmish on the details of the measure came on the administra- ve clause allowing a b per cent. di »unt on the duty on all goods brous into the United States in American ships. House Leader Accuses Connecticut Representative of Wandering from Democratic Side of House—Deno- van’s Stinging Rejoinder. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, May 7.—Late on Mon- day evening after Representative Aus- 1in of Tennessee had caused to be read a statement from the bureau of ‘sta- tistics showing the exports of domes- tie cotton goods from the United States to China, he turned to Representative Donovan and asked him if he had not, on May 2. asked of a member of the vays and means committee If the statement that our exports of cotton g0ods to China had not fallen from $29,000,000 in 1906 to $7,000,000 in 1912, and f the member of the ways and means committee had not denied the statement, adding the statement that our exportations to China were in- creasing? Mr. Donovan replied that he so understood it. Mr. Austin asked that the statement of the chief of the bureau be made a part of the record for the information of the ways and means committee. Mr. Donovan then asked Represent- ative Kitchen of North Carolina, a member of the ways and means com- mittee, what the transportation rates Were from Galveston to Liverpool. Mr. Kitchen said he could not tell. Mr. Donovan then asked him to state if he could the number of yards of cotton print that could be made out of a pound of cotton or a bale of cotton. He could not tell. Then, asked Mr. Donovan, how could the gentleman as & member of this great committee find intelligently the difference between the cloth on the other side and on this e, not knowing Mow much it cost the manufacturer on the other side to take his raw cotton from this country over there or to return the manufac- “Political Buncombe.” Republicans attacked this provision vizorously, declaring that itical buncombe,” and that any meaning it meant an advantage to | | “forel 2 shipping | tured goods here. “How do the com- s T R e ks halallieec i A After an hour of vigorous debate an | the difference in order to fix the tariff attempt to strike out the provision | UPON cotton fabrics?

London, May Miss Mae Scott- | Troy, the San Francisco suffragette cabled today to Andrew Carnegie: “What right have you to pose as an American citizen when you are reg- istered as a_ voter in the parish of Dornoch in_the county of Sutherland, Scotland.

Carnegie’s Father Naturalized When Andrew Was a Minor. New York, May 7.—“Mr. Carnegle is an American citizen,” said James Bertram, his private secretary, today. “He became so without naturalization because he came here as a minor when he was eleven years old and his father ‘was naturalized before he became of age. If he is registered as a voter in Scotland he had nothing to do with it personally. He is a property ownmer there and his name probably appears on the registry list in connection with that fact. He could not vote in that country because he is an alien there.” Minimum Wage Bill Passed. Sacramento, Calff., May 7.—A min- imum wage bill, providing for an in- dustrial welfare commission with full power to fix wages for women at a rate that will cover the “necessary cost of proper living,” was passed by the state senate today, 26 to 8, and goes to the governor for his signa- ture.

He said that Mr. Mann had asked him if he would vote for a tariff board to secure th information that the ways and m committee did not seem to have. Al Donovan said he would not vote for such a board. He did not think such a board necessary; in his opinion the sovernment had all the information necessary in its statistical bureau, and the committee could-get it by the ask- ing.

Senator Kern of Indiana brought the president’s attention again to the case of Remus F. Stewart, and John E. Hollingsworth, two Indiana demo- crats who were removed from their po- sisitions as_postoffice inspectors by President Harrison. On investigation by Postmaster General Burleson it s found that they were removed “for political reasons” and that they were guilty of no deliquen S or mis- conduct.

CHILDREN BREAK SCHOOL WINDOWS. Striking Cambridge Pupils the 1. W. W. Tactics. Cambridge, Mass., May -While Cambridge Grammar School boys who are on strike for a one session school day paraded through the city streets late tonight, windows were broken in North Cambridge school buildings and numerous bonfires were set. Twelve parades of five hundred chil- dren ranging from seven to fifteen years old were disbanded by the po- Employ lice. Two fourteen year old boys, al- leged by the police to have been leaders, were taken to - police had- quarters but later were given into the «ustody of their parents.

TO SPLIT CALIFORNIA UP INTO TWO STATES Resolution To That Effect In The Cal- ifornia Legislature. Sacramento, Calif. May 7—A propos- Tehachapi Pas naming the northern half “California” and the remainder “South Cafeteria” is made in a reso- lution introduced in the senate by Sen- ator Sanford of Ukiah, democratic nationdl committeeman. . The resolution sets forth that Cali- fornia is inadequately represented in the United States senate as compared | with New England and that some means should be provided for giving the area additional senators. The resolution provides for submit- ting the division to popular vote at the next general election. It was re- ferred to the committee on federal relations.

Governor Baldwin's recommenda- tions for a two mill taX, which is a higher figure than suggested by the state treasurer, turns attention lo the bills before the fi e committec which have the purpose of increasing the state’s revenues. A conservative estimate is that the general assembly will authorize expen- ditures at least four millions in excess of anticipated income, and the state tax seems to be Imperative. It looks now as if the house will have not only the compensation Dbill before it but dozens of other measures which al- most as keenly affect the members from the towns. This means lively sessions in that branch unless the five minute rule on debate is adopted. Day Wasted in Oratory. Today the session in that body was one of oratory and little business, and in spite of the fact thai only a few commitiees had sessions no afternoon session was voted. Great expectations centered this af- ternoon in the session of the judiciary committee, as many of the judgeships were to be finally decided upon. Another of Governor Baldwin's rec- ommendations, that for a commissioner of agriculture in place of several de- partmental heads as at present, wae unfayorably reported. - Johnson's Montville Bill. The senate today took up the foot of its calendar and tabled matters, a mix- ture of favorable and unfavorable re- ports and controversial subjects, but did not proceed very rapidly, as much debate was brought out. An interesting incident was when Senator McDonough overturned action on a bill in which Senator Johnson of Montville was interested. This was a Dbill relating to settlement of a dis- agreement of a highway in his town, and it was reported three months ago The idea was to give parties who are aggrieved at the finding of a commlt- tee which has heard disagreements over the laying out of a highway and assessment of damages the right to take an appeal so as to get a jury trial. Senator Isbell brought in an amendment which in effect was a sub- stitute bill. McDonough Prevents Action. Senator Peck offered an amendment to this amendment, after declaring that Senator Johnson showing spite over the bill, but this was voted down and_the Isbeéll draft was passed. Senator McDonough, who had been away, came into the chamber just as a motion fo reconsider the action was made in the hope that it would not prevail. Mr. McDorough found out what had haprened and he attacked the bill, which he declared to be vicious legislation and lawmaking which would bring injury to the town Mr. McDonough made one of his mosf impassioned speeches so far this ses- sion. denouncing the bill as one framed in spite and aimed to secure by gen eral law the adjusiment of a local trouble, which meant the upsetting of a statute which had been in force for & hundred vears. The senate thereupon voted to re- consider its action and the matter was again tabled owing to the Jateness of the hour. WILSON TURNS DOWN MRS. HELEN LONGSTREET Another Woman Nominated Gainesville Postmastership. Washington, May Longstreet, widow of the famous con- federate general, today lost her fight for reappointment as postmistress of Gainesville, Ga. Mrs. H. W. J. Hamm for Mrs Helen | was nominated to the office after Pres- ident Wilson had consulted the Georgia senators. It was learned that Postmaster General Burleson's reports of the con- dition_of the post office over which Mrs. Longstreet presided alleged that office was poorly managed. Much interest had been manifested in the appointment and Mrs. Long- street’s friends had flooded the White House with telegrams and petitions in her behalf. An appeal setting out her fears that influences were work- ing_against her appointment or her confirmation was sent fto the senate today by Mrs. Longstreet. “Hunger Striker” Pardoned.

ATTACK ON BRANDEIS President Meilen's Personal Counsel Declares He Has “Superb Destruc- tive Talents”—Road Misunderstood. Washinglon, May 7.—Charges of maladministration, reckless extrava- gance and undue expansion, induced by a spirit of monopolization and ag- grandizement, were made today before the interstate commerce commission by lcuis D. Brandeis of Boston against the officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford and the Bostun and Maine railroads. The charges were made in the course of oral arguments submitted to the commission upon the testimony ad- duced at the commission’s investigation of the operations of the New England railroads recently taken in Boston. Improvements to Meet Public Demand The criticism of Mr. Brandeis was met by statements of Charles F. Choate, Jr, personal counsel of Presi- dent Charies S. Mellen of the New Haven, who, while admitting that large prices had been paid for some of the properties constituting the New Haven system, declared the action of the directors already had been justi- fied fully in some instances and, he was certain, would be justified in all by time. Expensive improvements, he said, had been made by the roads to meet the demands of the public. “Has Superb Destructive Talents.” Referring to Mr. Brandeis as “a mi- nority of one” Mr. Choate said that eriticlsm of the New Haven was rap- idly waning in New England, as its op- erations had become better understood and he drew smiles from the commis- sioners and Idr. Brandeis as well nzle constructive idea has ted from him to the bemefit v England publc.” . Choate said as to the merger of Boston and Maine and the New Haven that it was certain they would come together eventually, because they were “natural complements of each other.” Adding that complaints of the merger came largely from the state of Massachusetts, he said this was not the first time that the super- abundant energles of the people of Massachusetts have been devoted to criticism of this sort. Progressive and Liberal Management. Mr. Choate declared that the period between 1903 and 1912, which had been referred to by Mr. Brandels as the “darkest perfod of New England trans- portation,” had shown Immense Im- provement both in the equipment and character of the service of the New Haven properties. “In the constant harping,” he sald, “upon the extravagance of new out- lays the demards of the public that will not be denied are lost sight of. The management of the New Haven for the last ten years has been pro- gressive and liberal in its expendi- tures for the convenience of the pub- lic. The extension and connections, the splendid filve hour service between Boston and New York, with all steel equipment, and similar improvements throughout the system are accepted without comment, yet the public In- sists on having them and is ever in- sisting upon more. When the demends of the public are under consideration the cost to the company receives small notice. Criticism Due to Misunderstanding. “Within the New Haven system there are sixteen operatine companies which work independently towards a common end. Much of the comment and criticism that has been excited as to the management of these properties is due unquestionably to misunder- standing. Despite what Mr. Brandeis has said here, it s a fact that a sur- plus of income over dividend require- ments has been shown by the New Haven system in every vear by the firm of qualified accountants which prepares the general balance sheet of the svstem.” USED WHITE WOMEN AS SPARRING PARTNERS Jack Johnson Accused of Sending Some of Them to Hospital. Chicago, May 7.—White women who associated with Jack Johnson, Negro heavyweight champion of the world, were used as sparring partners, ac- cording to charges of government af- torneys today in the trial of Johnson, charged with violation of the Mann law. Harry A. Parkin, asststant distriet attorney, declared the evidence would show that Johnson directed his fistis accomplishments against the women. “As a result of his treatment of these girls,” Mr. Parkin said, “they weres frequently sent to hospitals with black. | ened eyes and bruised bodfes.” W. Jacobowski, Johnson’s chauffeur, was the first witness. He told of meeting Belle Schreiber, | the woman he is now charged with having transported from Pittsburgh to Chicago, in Cleveland and again in De- troit and of Johnson having sent his automobile to take the women from her hotel to the theatre where John- son was appearing.
