REPLIES TO SPEAKER CANNON Takes Exception to “Uncle Joe's” Speeches in Iowa, DIFFERENCES WITHIN PARTY Wants Fair and Candid Discussion of All Points. 18 TO0O CANNON POSITIVE Literal A cation of His Utterances Would Read Majority of Men Out of Party in All North Central States. CHICAGO, Nov. 6 «nator Cummins of Jowa was the principal speaker at the an- nual banquet of the Marquette club here tonight. Senator Cummins made a spirited reply to Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, who recently criticised the attitude of the senator “insurgents’’ as $o the tariff and declared that Henator Cummins practically pro- posed to Join hands with Bryan. Mr. Cummins branded the latter asser- tign as false, declaring it to be “simply an agpeal to blind passion and a senseless prejudice.” Furthermore, hé sald, there was no in- tention to accept as final the revision of the tariff against which the “insurgents” § “mfll“(tl at not only the audacity, but the madness which inspires the attack which has been made upon the Insurgents, for it Mr. successful In putting every man out of the republican party who would not have voted for the ‘tariff bill had he been a member of congress, he will have elimi- nated a majority of the republicans in every northern state from Ohlo to the Rocky Mountains,” declared Senator Cum- mins, Further along the speaker sald: “To say that the tariff bill just adopted is not a tuifiliment of the republican platform is only the truth and it contalns no invita- tion or suggestion to any republican to forsake his party candidate.” Mr. Cummins sald that the republicans in sympathy with the insurgents intended to reduce the influence of leaders in the party, mentioning Senator Aldrich, Speaker Cannon and Representative Payne in this connection, to that point at which they will feel it necessary to consult rather than command. 'Our struggle,’ he declured, With em- “will not be to exclude anybody lrom the republican party, but upon the principle involved we ask no quarter and shall give none.” Mr. Cummins said he intended to strengthen a crusade for a tarift commis- slon. Rallway rate fegulation and the currency question were also discussed by the speaker, Opens Guns on Cannon, Mr. Cummins, in beginning his remarks, referred to the controversy within the party ranks, sald he was anxious to pre- M serve the party strength, and took the up- portunity to speak of the dispute In the hope that & better understanding may follow & fair and candid discussion of tne aifferences of opinion. “A month ago,” sald he, “a distinguished son of Illinois came to Iowa obviously angry, and therefore in one of his hysteri- cal moods. He made a speech ostensibly in defense of the rules of the house of representatfyes, but which was, in fact, An assault upon those who had opposed the wpubllo‘n majority In congress upon the tariff measure. Not content with burning us at the stake, he scattered our ashes m the four winds In order to make sure we would be lost to the republican ty forever and ever. He exalted e u pre-eminence among the Insurgents, which I do not deserve, but which I would be proud to occupy, and declared with a vehemence which you who know him will appreciate that 1 had become an ally of a certain eloquent gentlemen whose quad- rennial business has been to carry the democratic banner to overwhelming defeat. ‘Warming to his work, he made another cech a few days ago at Elgin, in which he repeated In all the colors of his reinhow phraseology the denunclation of those who committed the horrid crime of voting against the teriff bill, and again consigned them to the lowest depths of democratic perdition And then to completely satisty lu lust for blood, he assigned to Senator LaFoliette and myselt & superheated chamber in this region of the Adamned.

They are all republicans, and 1 hope they will comgtinue to be re- publicans. 1 assume they voted according to their consclences; and while I differ from them materially and emphatically, I have no disposition to enter the business of expelling men from the republican party -o long as they yield even a nominal al- eglance to republican platforms and sup- port republican candidates. I say of them (and I say It with the utmost feeling for them personally) that the republicans who are in sympathy with the course pursued by the urgents Intend to take away from these men some of the power which they now exercise. and intend to reduce thelr inf.uerce to that point at which they will feel It necessary to consult rather than to command. “It will not avall Mr. Cannon and his sasoclates anything to declare that we have joined hands with the democratic party, for every intelligent man knows that this s stmply an appeal to & biind passion and & senseless prejudice.

CINCINNATI, Nov. G—Admitting his own responsibility for a large shortage in his accounts as local treasurer of the Big Four rafiroad in this city, C. L. Wairiner, this morning stated to the Assoclated Preas that he was not the only one involved in the shortage estimated at $100,000. A warrant will be issued charging em- bezzlement of funds in his custody was the substance of a notice given last night The warning, it was said, was given to Warriner and his friends in advance in order that he might arrange for bondsmen. The announcement from Chicago that Eddle Cook, former clerk in the Big Four financial department in this city, was the person named by Warriner as the man to whom he pald money for years In the form of tribute to hush up a former de- talcation created a sensation here. A warrant charging Warriner with em- beszlement of $4,00, funds of the Big Four Raliroad company, was issued this morn- ing. ‘I am glad 1 have been found out, Warriner. “Well, I'll|_say one thing to you," added Warriner, “I am not alone In this, and I want te say another thing. I never played a game of poker in my life. There is no woman in the case, that s, as far as I am concerned. The perfect under- standing between me and my wife pre- cludes my belng mixed up with any woman. The other man has to do with her, not me.” Warriner, it is sald, fjrst took money to speculate in wheat. Warriner, when arrested this afternoon, requested that he be allowed to remain in his room pending an effort to secure bonds- men, but his request was refused and he was taken before a justice and the war- rant was issued. Warriner walived preliminary examina- tion and was held under §20,000 bond to an- swer to the grand jury. . Warriner declared that he has not a oent that friends have to come to his assistance and that he hepes to be able to furnish the required bond.

A message was sent to Prof. Willls L.

HE ASKS FOR CO0-OPERATION Advice of Business Men Needed to Meet Situation. COMMISSION STILL AT WORK Project for Creation of Big Central Bank of Issue is Not Mentioned —Methods of Other Countries. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, before the Com- mercial elub here tonight, delivered the first of a series of western speeches on currency reform and the work of the monetary commission, of which he 1s chalrman. To those who expected Senator Aldrich to use the occasion for the promulgation of the central bank project or any other plan or theory of national finance, his ®peech was in the nature of a surprise. He declared at the outset *'that the ques- tion of a definite plan for reforming ex- isting conditions has not yet been taken up by the commission,’ and he added that no plan would be adopted “until after an opportunity has been afforded for the most careful and exhaustive study of all the conditfons that surround the prob- lem." Appeal for Co-operationm. He sald he had accepted the present oc- caslon as an opportunity “to make an earnest appeal to you, as the representa- tive men of an important section of the country, to give to the commission the advantage of your valuable counsel: and co-operation In securing the adoption of & satistactory reedial plan—one that will surely conserve and promote the vital in- terests of all the people of this nation." Senator Aldrich paid tribute to the busi- ness men of Chicago, which he described as “perhaps the most important financial center of the country,” as having by thelr enterprise, ability and foresight, con- tributed largely to the upbullding of a great and prosperous empire, and he pledged the best efforts and judgment of the monetary commission “to secure the adoption of a monetary system the wisest and best the world has seen. Big Task for Commisai The senator sald in part: “It 1s my purpose tonight to call the at- tention of the bankers and business men of Chicago to some of the more salient features of the work of the National Mone- tary commission. The questions committed it it are so vast and involve so many col- lateral lssues, that my statement must necessarily be fragmentary and incomplete. The importance of the task of finding legis- lative remedies for ‘the defects and weak- nesses of our currency and monetary sys- tem cannot be overestimated. The Indus- trial and commercial development of the country, the healthy groweh of its banking facilities; in fact, the contjnued march of national progress and prosperity, which all hope for, will be either greatly accelerated or retarded by the wisdom or unwisdom of the action which may ls taken looking to a.solution of the problems submitted to the commissfon. “We expect to be able to give to the public within a comparatively short time the fullest information with reference to the experfence and practical methods of other countries and of our own. This In- vestigation will be the most complete and comprehensive with reference to these sub- Jects that has ever been taken. “When this record has been submitted, and time has been given to analyze % care- fully, we shall, before reaching any decl- slon, ‘ask the representatives of businces Interests ' throughout the country for an opinion as to what, If any, portion of It is pertinent and valuable in the formulation of a plan for the United States.” Women Ready for Dakota Campaign Suffrage Headquarters Are Estab- lished at Sioux Falls by State Convention.

BASIN, Wye., Nov. 6.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Sensational developments took place in the Ten Bleep creek murder cases today when Albert Keyes and Charles Faris, themselves participants in the rald last April, confessed to thelr parts in the murders’ o fthree shespmen and the sub- sequent cremation of the corpses of two of them, Since the end of the grand jury term, when indictments. were returned against seven cattlemen reports have credited Keyes and Faris with having turned state's evidence in return for promised immunity. In the prosecution’s opening statement the fact was flatly announced and to- day's confirmation therefore comes only a8 & half surprise. Both men declared that when they joined the ralders it was with a distinet understanding that no human lives were to be taken, but that the sheep and property of the Allemand-Bmge out- fit were to be destroyed and the men warned to get out of the country and stay. Keyes denied having seen a mah shot or having fired a shot himself. Faris admitted discharging his rifle four or five times and declared under oath that he was wit- ness to the death of Allemand, owner of the sheep outfit, and declared Herbert Brink, defendant now on trial, fired the shot.

POLICE INTRODUCE TESTIMONY Evidence Tends to Show that Woman Was Loosely Hound and Gag Was Not Mouth. PARIS, Nov. 6.—~Madame Steinhell, who was led fainting from the court room yes- terday, was not called to the stand when the trial was resumed today. The prosecution had announced that it would eall sixty-seven witnesses and three of those who were heard late yesterday. The opening examination today was along the same lines, police witnesses being in- troduced to describe the appearance of the Steinhell home immediately after Adolph Steinhell and his mother-in-law, Madame Japy, had been murdered. The purpose of the testimony was to show that there were no evidences of & genuine character to support the claim of the widow that robbery was the motive for the crime. The first witness called today was Remy Coulllard, formerly a servant in the Stein- heifl household, but who I8 now in the mill- tary service. of a dragoon. It was Coulllard who discovered Mme. Steinhell bound and gagged In her bed and the bodies of her husband and step-mother In adjoining rooms. He recounted today the story which he had told the police. In, his examination speclal emphasis was laid on the condition in which Mme. Steinhell was found and the way in which she was bound and gagged. Pearl Found in Poeket. Soon after the crime Coulllard left the service of Mme. Steinhell and on Novem- her 21, 1908, he was arrested on suspicion of having been implicated In the murders. A pearl which Mme. Steinheil had claimed was stolen from the home at the time of but after he had been held In jall for sev- eral days he was released on Mme. Stein- heil's confession that she had placed the Jewel In his pocket. She claimed that she had become con- vinced that the servant was gullty and, be- lieving that it arrested he would confess, she planned to bring him into the custody of the police. Coulllard’s testimony was damaging to the defendant. He insisted that when he found Mme. Stelnhell she told him only of a burglary, making no mention of her husband and step-mother, who lay dead in their rooms. Woman Loosely Bound. He said the gag was not in her mouth, but near the pillow on which her head rested. Her hands were tled in front of her, and not behind her back, as she had testified, the witness sald, and both the ropes about her wrists and ankles were loosely bound. Moreover, the witness sald that after the police had arrived and the wonesn had told them the story of the murders, the telephone bell rang, whereupon Madame Stelnhell, who had been feigning ilness and pain, ordered him from the room, and, springing from her bed, answered the tele phone.

In the afternoon he spoke at First Congrega- tonal church under the auspices of the soclal sclence department of the Woman's club and In the evening at the Auditorium to a large number of people, white and black. And after the Auditorlum meeting he was banqueted by the people of African Methodist Ipiecopal church Mr. Washington said yesterday would be a memorable day to him and Omaha a dlstinctive spot In his mind, for he had just learned on coming here of the bequest of $10:000 to his great institute at Tus- kegee, Ala., by John Stewart Kennedy of New York Mr. Washington was most cordlally re- celved by his own people, who did not try to conceal their pride in him as one of thelr race and he was given the same reception In both his addresses. His audl- ence at the Auditorium was large and representative and it must have made him feel that his address was heartlly appre- clated, for it applauded him frequently and vigorously. How Can They Help South? “How can the negro who lives in Omaha and the state of Nebraska help the negro In the south Is the question which T wish to answer in my remarks tonight,” sald Mr. Washington in beginning his Auditor- fus address. “Rightly and naturally, the colored people who live in the northern states are in- terested in the progress of the millions of our race who live in the southern states. We are one people. What affects those In the south affects those in the north. If the negroes who reside in the north make progress, it helps the interest ot those who live iIn the south. I you here in the nérth fall to go forward, fall to take advantage of all your opportunities, you injure and hold back the bulk of our -race in the south. o ' “Those of you, who live, for example, llke this, have certain advantuges as compared with what our people have In the south. At the same time, in my opinion, you have certaln advantages. You hove nuvnl:lnr op=- portunities for education. In most cases you are sure at all times of the protection of life and property. You have, however, the disadvantage in a great many cases of not being able to use your education s freely and widely as the negro of the south. You are mot always free to sell your labor, whether It Is common labor or skilled labor, where you desire as the negro in the south can. Here, while you will find, as I have stated, advantages, you will find your children surrounded by more temptation iIn a ity like this than is true In the south, You will find competi- tion more severe. You will find it harder to get upon your feet from an economic point but the main thing which I want to tmpress upon you is that you can help the negro in the south. How Cun They Aldt “Constantly the question is asked me when 1 am in the north by members of my race In what way can they be of service to the millions of our people In the south. First and foremost, I would answer that you can help us most in the south by helping yourselves. Make the highest degree of progress here in the Washington, leader of the made two strong appeals for and to the negro in Omaha | morth. “The large body of white people by whom you are surrounded here have never seen and will never come into contact with the millions of negroes In the south, but they will judge of the abllity, of the progress of the millions in the south by what they see of your conduct here in this city. If you fall and disappoint them, they will say that the negro in the south ts a fallure and a disappointment. If by leading ‘ndustrious, economie, high, moral lives, you make a favorable impression, the white people here will argue that it 1a worth while to help the negro In the south because of your progress in this eity. To be more direct and plain, you can help us In the south by becoming the owners of homes here in this city. I am glad to note that a goodly number of the colored people in this city own gooq homes. The number, however, should be largely Increased. “You can help us, again, by the kind of occupation in which you are engaged, by the making of a reputation for thor- oughness, for energy, for industry in whatever you engage “I belleve that everywhere In this coun- try the negro should become more and more a business factor in the community in which he lives. That is what our people are doing throughout the south. Save Your Mo “¥ou can help us, again, the white people v by proving te in a comunity like this that our race cannot only earn money but that it can save it, that it can exer- else that degree of self-control, that degree of foresight and self-sacrifice which will enable one to save today for the rainy day which will come tomorrow.
