- VOL. LV.—NO. 1 PRICE_TWO CENTS BITTER PERSONALITIES IN SENATE Debate On Bryan’s Lecture Tour Responsible For Charges And Counter-Charges. PRIVATE TELEGRAMS AT EXPENSE OF PUBLIC. Senator Bristow Charges Senator Ashurst With Spending Over $100 Of Public Funds For Personal Messages— Latter Denies dt And Accuser Volunteers To Prove It— Bryan’s Action Scored By Senator Townsend. Washington, July 18.—Secretary Bryan's policy of lecturing in his vaca- tion time involved the senate in a bit- ter controversy today. It began when Henator Bristow, ignoring the defeat of his resolution directed at Mr. Bryan's action, Insisted upon being heard In ere criticism of the cabinet of- or b fore the debate ended, charges and counter-charges between senators on the two sides of the chamber had brought the senate to a high pitch of excitement. Senator Ashurst produced an old_letter of Senator _Bristow’s, which he declared indicated that Mr. Bristow in 1906, had been perfectly willing to take a federal position and devote only part of his time to it. Public Money For Private Telegrams. Senator Bristow retorted with the charge that Senator Ashurst had spent over $100 of public funds sending pri- e telegrams that should have been d from his own pocket, a charge denied by Senator Ashurst but which Senator Bristow agreed to prove by producing original telegrams that had been paid for out of senate funds. From these personal accusations, the debate went into the general fleld of public lecturing and writing, and democratic senators called atten- tion to the Chatauqua platform work of Senator Bristow and many others and to the newspaper writing that Senator Bristow had done during the last Baltimore convention. The Kan- senator emphatically declared that he had never neglected the dutles of his office. Bryan’s Action Condemned. “T am not on trial here,” he said. “I simply want to show that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones,” said Senator James. Senators Briston, Townsend, Fall and others attacked in strong language the action of Secretary Bryan in deliver- ing paid lectures during a time when they claimed public questions required his’ close attentlon to the affairs of the state department. Bristow Resolution tabled. The Bristow resolution introduced Tuesday calling upon President Wilson to state what salary would be sufficient to secure all of Secretary Bryan’s time as tabled by a vote of 41 to 29 as soon it came up ¥, all the democrats and Senators h'and Poindexter op- posing it. A prepared attack upon Secretary Bryan's action by Senator Townsend @nd an extensive defense by Senator NLewis, illuminated. the oratory of the day. Senator Townsend insisted the xample of the secretary in selling his time for private gain, when it had al- ready been sold to the government, was unwholgsome for the entire coun- ry. Lewis Defends Bryan's Course. Senator Lewis asked when the sen- mtor from Kansas and the senator from Michigan had become so0 “sub- tly inoculated with a comprehension of the dangers” of"a public official Fpending his vacation addressing the people on gquestions of vital isterest to ihem. He said it could not have been when a republican president was cam- paigning at the expemge of the tax- paye; “Where was the voice of protest when a postoffice official turned him- self into a great political machine t rlect another public official to the presidency ?” he inquired. Major Ray’s Case Brought Up. “Where was the voice when Major TRay abandoned his post in the army to rngage in political work In Chicago for a presidential candidate? Why were the voices of the senators silent then? Was it because those men were not democrats? Where was the voice when officials of previous administra- tions were speculating on the stock market and on tariff bills?” DISCRIMINATES AGAINST POORLY PAID EMPLOYES Benater Townsend Atta Proposed Lecture Tawr. Washington, July 18—“Aside from the technical and legal question of the right of a public servant to sell his wervices twice, the public announce- ment by Mr. Bryan that a man of his xell-advertised = Democratic tastes :annot live on an income of $12,000 a rear presents a moral question for the onsideration of the American people,” Jeclared Senator Townsend, Republi- can, of Michigam In a speech in the Eenate today. “The question Is simply this, wheth- under the circumstances, it is the duty of the citizen and the public ser- vant to modify his style of living to yring it within his legitimate income, »r whether it is his privilege to re- #Il his services in order to cover the cost of the style of living he has adopted.” Bubordinates Not Allowed to Do Other Work. Senator Townsesd's speech was an at- tack upon the Secretary of State, for his _proposal of making paid lectures guring his tenure of office, to increase his income. He declared that other cabinet of- ficers were living on $12,000 salaries; that subordinates in the government departments would not be allowed to do other work yhile holding their positions; and that because of his previous ‘attitude before the people, Mr. Bryan should have felt an obliga- tion to live within more rigid lines. Bryan A Public Censor. “For more than fifteen years Mr. Eryan bas posed as a public sensor of man and measures” said Senator Townsend. He has preached the duties of citigenship and assumed to estab- Ush standards of public service. His public _acts, therefore more than those of any man except the President, are of influence in the fixing of stand- ards of public service and public poli- ey. If the American people remain silent at this time and by their silence give their inferential approval or as- sent to the policy Mr. Bryan has an- nounced. that attitude of an official toward duties be assumed to Bryan's be a permanent feature of our govern- mental institutions. Postmaster Forbidden To Have Other Business. “For my part, I feel impelled to voice a protest. I am no respector of persons. I see no reason why the head of a Department should be permitted to make private gain by methods that are forbidden to his subordinates. I see pothing in his announced policy that is not equally available to any man or woman in the government em- ploy, and certainly no one will ques- tion the assertion that the general ap- plication of that policy would meas the absolute ruin of public service. | “It has been ordered by another member of the Cabinet that postmast- ers shall not engage in any other bus- iness than that relating to their offices as postmasters, The same rule is ap- plied to_other subordinate federal of- fice holders. Why this discrimination in favor of a high salaried officer against the low salaried one?” Danger In Bryan’s Bad Example. “Mr.'Bryan says he is selling his time energies and talents to private individuals or organizations because his official salary is not enough for him to live upon. . He is receiving $12,000 a year. In_ the Government service there are thousands of employes who receive less than one-tenth of that sum and who, in these days of high cost of living, find it_difficult to live within their income. Not one of these thousands, however, is permitted to abandon his post of duty and sell his time and energies and taients to others ! for the reason that Mr. Bryan has giv- en for his action. If Mr. Bryan's ex- ample shall be followed by public em- ployes generally who can see the ex tent of injury to the public service? Discrimination Against Poorly Paid “If we are to adopt the policy of placing the dollar above the public duty, then the door of oppurtunity should not be opened to one citizen asd closed to another. If there s to be descrimination, it should be in form of the poorly paid man, but I see no reason why a distinction should be made. “Mr. Bryan was one of the highést priced lecturers in the country before he became Secretary of State. His superior ability as an orator plus the notoriety he secured as a several times candidate for President, gave him great drawing powers at Cha- tauquas and he had a right to im- prove the opportunities thus opened to him but no man has a right to ex- ploit the public office which he is hold- ing for private financial gain, especial- ly not when such exploitation must of necessity interfere with the perform- ance of the duties which he voluntily assumes. President Is Responsible. “The President is responsible for the public service of the members of his cabinet and, to my mind, Mr. Bryan's action, whether with the President’s consent or assent, must be considered as an approved policy unless publicly renounced. Whatever I have had to say regarding the matter is not based upon inuendo nor presented in the form a concrete example which, might be assumed to be inferentially approved, and which, if generally fol- owed, would certainly be greatly det- rimental to good government by plac- ing individual selfish interest above the general welfare. OVER $250 A LECTURE. Bryan Says He Will Tell Just How Much He Makes. ‘Washington, July 18.—Secretry Bry- an talked freelv with newspaper men today about his much-discussed and criticized plan to spend his vacation on the the lecture platform. He said he probably would make a little over $250 on each lecture and added: “When 1 return Pli tell you just how much I Mr. Bryan will leave tomorrow night and Will deliver his first lecture before the Winona (Indiana) Chautauqua assembly Sunday afternoon. He will make ag many additional lectures as time will permit before his return for the conference with Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, now enroute to ‘Washington from Mexico City, to make the report to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan which probably will determine the future attitude of the TUnited States towards Mexico. The secretary indicated that he was making the trip under his own aus- pices and said he would not become president of the Winona Chautauqua. until its re-organization after its in- debtedness has been liguidated. BULL MOOSE REUNION HELD AT SAVIN ROCK Festivities Close By Singing “Onward Christian Soldiers.” New Haven, July 18.—Connecticut progressives to the number of more than 200 gathered tonight at Savin Rock for a reunion meeting. A ban- quet, at which prominent progressives spoke optimistically as to the party's future, was the featur Cheers greet- ed the speaker’s remarks, and cam- paign songs were sung with fervor. Among those who spoke were Her- bert Knox Smith, candidate for gov- | ernor last fall; Ex-Senator Joseph W. Alsop of Avon, Gustay Borglum Stamford, and Mrs. George A. Romans of Danbury.

MARINES AND SAILORS BOMBARD SOCIALISTS. Make Wreckage of Socialist and 1. W. W. Property at Seattle. Seattle, Wash,, July 18.—A party of TUnited States marines and sailors from the Pacific reserve fleef, most of the sailors wearing the name bands of the cruisers Colorado and California, started tonightto “clean up the town,” as they expressed it, by attacking so- cialist Industrial Workers of the World headuarters. A second party of men from the Pacific reserve fleet attacked the big Industrial Workers’ headuarters on Washington street, in the southern part of the city. The contents of the building were dragged into the street and a bonfire made of them. A provost guard of fifty men from the fleet was ordered ashore in cutters to arrest all the men on shore. Sec- retary of the Navy Daniels was dining on the cruiser West Virginia, the guest of Admiral Reynolds, at the time the rioting began. About a dozen sailors, all young, were in the first wrecking party to get under way. They were aided by sev- eral members of the Washington mili- tia and by a hundred young civilians who made more of the noise. Waving United States flags, the storming par- ty swooped down on the cart news- stand of Milard Price; a socialist ora- tor, at the intersection of Fourth ave- nue and Westlake Boulevard, the bus- iest night corner of the cdy. The cart| was broken to splinters in a moment, and the big stock of socialist papers and magazines were torn, tossed into the street and jumped upon. The mob then rushed to a_store- room until recently occupied by the Industrial Workers. The wreckers found the place deserted, the tenants | had moved. They then proceeded to the socialist headuarters, smashed in the uate glass front and nailed American flags on the front of the building. Two policemen smiled complacently upon the wreckers. The sailors tore the signs from the front of the buildinfi and broke them to pleces and -then started to drag the furniture and books into the street, but the policemen stop- ped them. There were demands that-the Indus- trial Workers be hunted down, and a young civilian in a white suit tried to induce the party to go to the head- quarters of the modeate socialists. As the naveal men were i Pike street, at Sixth, they were over- hauled by an automobile full of police- men, haeded by a big captain, who told the sailors that if they did not dis- perse he .would arrest every one of them. The policemen by manoeuvring separated the men in uniform and scat-4 The men shouted to the policemen: “Your mayor won’t do any- thing to protect the flag, so We are saving your cil | A young civilian who had been en- | deavoring to incite the sailors kept shouting to them: “Go and get Mayor | Cotterill.” No arrests were made. The sailors after destroying the mod- erate socialists’ headquarters marched to the southern part of the city and demolished a meeting room of the Sal- | vation Army, which somebody had told the sailors was an Industrial Workers' | AN ENGINE DERAILED, { PANIC OF PASSENGERS | General Rush From Train, Some Going Through Windows. Meriden, July 13.—Engine No. 1346, a big Pacific_type locomotive, hauling the Boston Express due here at 7:11, was derailed near Holt's Bridge, about one mile from the city, when both driv- ing rods broke. The big engine leaned | to the eastward, the two driving | wheels leaving the iron. The thrashing of the driving rods struck a valve causing steam to' es- cape, which drove both man and | engineer from the cab. The steam percolated throught the train andeaused a panic among the passengers, most | of whom ran from the cars, some going out of the windows. Many of the pass- engers walked to the Meriden station from the scene of the wreck. The New Haven train leaving Meri- | den at 7:25 took orders to call the | New Haven wrecker at Wallingford. | In the meantime an extra engine was | dispatched to the sceme fo {ake the train to its destination.

New Britain, Conn, July 18.—The Common _Ccpmeil voted Wednesday night in favor of an ordinance prohib- iting “turkey trotting,” the ‘“bunny hug” and other ultra-modern dances. New Britain's young folks are fast be- coming slaves to thege terpsichorean novelties. A doubt exists whether the ordinance will be enforced at society gatherings where the dances are said to be in | vogue. Some of the city fathers have expressed the opinios that the law should be enforced to the letter, no matter who is conducting the dances, The ordinance calls for the stationing of a policeman in the hall to see that the new dances are not permitted.

The steamer ylies between this city and points on the Kennebec river, 3 was scheduled to sail for Bath, ) at six o'clock funight. She carries a crew of 100 men and bad accommoda- tions for several hundred passengers. So far as known no one was on the steamer except the officers and crew, many of whom were in their berths when the fire started. Before the crew were well awake the flames had work- ed up through the three decks and belched through the cabin top around the smokestack. Dead ‘Man Not Identified. Captain Blair was dozing in the pilot house and was awakened by smoke just in time to get out of the way of the flames that followed. George Barton, a night was asleep in his stateroom and be- fore he got out was burned so resious- 1y that he was later removed to a hos- pital. The dead man had not been identified tonight and it Is thought that he may have been a visitor to the ~ship. The body, badly cha was found on the main deck forward. Below decks the cooks and saloon men were at work. They scrambled on deck ahead of the flames put lost most of their personal belongings. Three Firemen Nearly Drown. While the fire was burning fiercely, Louis Stickel, a fireman, dropped from a ladder thirty feet into the water, and because of the heavy outfit he wore, was drowning when two other firemen plunged into his rescue. Rep- resentative Louis E. Sullivan, who was afireman in the old days, saw the three_struggling/in the water and he too, dove in. Meantime Stickel had lost consclousness and it looked for a time as though all four would go down, but other firemen reached them with ‘a ladder. It was half an hour before the fire, was gotten under con- trol. FROM HIS “WIFELAND” TO HIS “MOTHERLAND” Carnegie Transfers Administration of Library and Church Organ Fund. London, July 18.—Andrew Carnegie has entrusted the Carnegie Dunferm- line trust with the administration of the income from $10,000,000 of five per cent steel bonds, heretofore adminis- tered by the Carnegie corporation of New York. In a letter today the iron master says: i “The transfer of administration from my wifeland to my motherland has rot been made because the fund has not been wisely administered in New York, but because in the nature of {hings the conditions which have en- abled me to keep closely in touch with the tund must soon change. It is my | duty to consider the future” Mr. Carnegie adds that the income of $600,000 hitherto has been devoted to public libraries and church organs in the United Kingdom, but the Dun- fermline trust is to be given full pow- er to devote the fund “to the most beneficlent uses for the good of the masses of Great Britain and Ireland.” Track Walker Struck by Train.

The managers had reference to their demands that “all questions of pay and working conditions” be settled along | with the men's demands for better | wages. | A definite statement that the roads | would abide by the mediation board's decision, even if it ruled out all but the trainmen's present demands, was lacking in the manager's letter tonight. The roads have maintained that they i{would insist upon “all questions” being {arbitrated, but their letter this even- |ing was so phrased as to lead the | trainmen’s leaders to helieve that the |roads would abide by whatever decl- sion the mediation board might make. Railroad Position Modified. The managers in their letter of July 16 setting forth thelr eight grievances iTeferred to them as the ones which |the railroads “intends” to have Incor- porated in the agreement to arbitrate. The roads in theg letter to the men tonight, while describing their position as willing to refer their demands to as unchanged, expressed themselves ithe mediation board. President Lee of the -Brotherhood of Trainmen commented upon the change in wording. He expressed belief that a comparison of the phraseology of the letters indicated that modification within the last 48 hours. Two Conferences Today. Both the managers and the train- men’s committee will hald conferences tomorrow morning, the men to dis- cuss the letter received tonight from the roads.

Seth Low, president of the National Civic Federation, addressed the rail- road managers in conference today. He urged them to abandon any thought of submitting their grievances to arbitration at this time. The trainmen’s representatives of the Erie system which road withdrew from the controversy after declaring that it could. not afford to raise wages did not hold their annouriced meeting today.

Pa., that_ both he and his wife had lked to Meri- den from Boston, pushing the babyv in a go-cart, living on what little food they could beg and sleeping on the ground. The story told by the father, who is 24 years old, reads like a chapter from Les Miserables. He was em- ployed as a teamster in his home, Bangor, Pa, when he was offered a better position in Boston by a friend who represented himself to be the head of an employment agency in Bos- ton. The friend offered a position to both the young man and his wife. Mr, Lockhardt states that he paid the friend five dollars as a commis- sion for the position in Boston and al- so entrusted two trunks contaimes their effects to him. These trunks were checked to Boston the father was tola. Arriving in Boston the little family waited in the South Station in vain for the friend to meet them. Then they reported the case to the police, who were unsuccessful in their search for the supposed employment agency man.

Case Aired in Court in 1908. The committee opened the Gomper( incident today when newspaper clip- pings appeared showing that Gompert had made the bribery charges before a court in 1908, and that President Van Cleave of the manufacturers’ associe- sion had denied all connection with them. Mulhali said he had been Te- ferred by Van Cleave and Schwedtmarn | to Mr. Brownell in New York, wha claimed to be conducting a publicity bureau for the association. Expected to “Get” Gompers. Brownell told him, he said, that a man named Brandenbers was follow- ing Gompers; that they had a plan fix~ ed up by which they ekpected to “get™ the labor leader, and that they were positive th could ot f: Mulhalf id he warned them they would not succeed, and later advised Van Cleave to_the same effect. Van Cleave 1 New York suddenly, the witness said, aftor {clling him that he had nearly “fallen into a trap.” Had Littie Actual Knowledge, “He aid they wanted him to go down town to meet those people, but i he got 2 tip not to go,” added Mulhall. “He {5td me he thought Brownell had { more nse than to go into a trap of that kind.” This was the extent of Mulhall's knowledge of the matter, but he insist- ed that from the previols information he bad he knew the plan that had been | on foot to force Gompers into signing | a document that would insure his fu- ture action. Outburst from Mulhall. The Gompers story and an unex- pected outburst from Mulhall, who complained that officers of the Nation- al Association of Manufacturers were ng to “stare him out of counte- nance” were the enlivening features of a day in which the self-confessed “lob- byist” identified several hundred mora of the letters relating to campaign and legislative activities, Proceedings were running smoothly when Robert Me- Carter, attorney for the manufactur- erg’ association, tried to interrupt and ask Mulhall a question. The commit- tee has thus far permitted no ques- tioning by outside attorneys. Admitted Nervousness. “T refuse to answer any questions from that man,” shouted Mulhall. “Further, I want to tell the committes that those men at that table have kept some one there continually to stare steadily at me while I have been on the stand. T think it is a contemptible trick. The ex-president (John Kirby, Jr.) relleved Mr. Emery at the job a lttle while ago. Members of the committee tried to soothe the witness, and Acting Chair- man Bankhead mildly suggested that Mulhall look at him instead of at his antagonists. Mulhall admitted he was somewhat nervous, but insisted that witnesses have been. intimidated since they were brought to Washington “out- side as well as inside this committes room.” McClave Says Mulhall Is A Perjurer. S. Wood McClave, republican candi- date for congress in a special election to be held In the sixth New Jersey district next Tuesday came to Wash- ington and told the senate lobby inves tigating committee that Martin M. Mulhall late “lobbyist” for the Na- tional Association of Manufacturers, had perjured himself in his testtmony before the committee. McClave denied emphatically that Muthall had raised or spent money for him. had managed his campaign or had been his close companion and associate during his fight against Willlam Hughes for the sixth district nomination in 1910. Mulhall Insisted On Hiring Room. Mulhall, the witness swore, came unknown to him in his office in New York city in 1910, introduced himself and sald he wanted to help him. “It looks as if you were going to get the nomination” he quoted Mulhall as say- ing, “and I wanted to know how you stood on public questions,” McClave said he replied that he stood for pro- tection and fair dealing to labor and that Mulhall responded, “our organiza- tion stands for the same thing and wants to help you.” ‘He added that Mulhall insisted upon hiring two rooms in Paterson as head- quarters but that he visited them on- ly & few times and then saw only & few newspaper men. Not Aided By National Committee. Mulhall had letters from Vice Presi- dent Sherman, Congressman er and others, the witness sald. “It was my first experiment,” he added, “and I supposed that a man endorsed by such nfen must be all right.” 'The New Jersey man had been held up to the committee by Mulhall yes- terday as one whose meal checks and other expenses Mulhall had continu- ously paid and for whom Muthall rais- ed and spent more than $3,600. This McClave vigorously denied as abso- lutely without truth. McClave said he could obtain no aid from the republican national commit- tee and that when Mulhall came as the representative of the National As- soclation of Manufacturers he said he was willing to accept their assistance. Democrat Received $5,000. “What was the National Association of Manufacturers toget in return for the money it spent?” asked Senator ‘Walsh. “It was to get a representative in the American -congress who was in favor of protection of American indus- tries” replied McClave. He added that it had been said that William Hughes, his opponent, now senator, had receiv- ed 8 35000 campaign fund from the American Federation of Labor and that he felt it was entirely proper for :lm to accept ald from the memwiae- urers’ assoctation. 3
