BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1909. \:ebrasza and Georgia in a Sea Collision CUSTONS FRAUDS ARRAIGNEL Secretary MacVeagh Discusses In- quiry at New York Banquet. RICH TRAVELERS TO BLAME Misunderstanding of Signals Causes Slight Mixup, in Which No Harm is Done, NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 12.—The collision between the battleships Georgla and Ne- braska during tactical evolutions on the southern drill grounds off the Virginia capes Thursday scems to have been rather inconsequential, it being declared to have been an exaggeration. The Georgfa has a very smail amount of paint scraped off one side with its bridge alightly bent, No one, It Js sald, was hurt, and nelther the Georgla nor the Nebraska will have to withdraw from the fleet. This afternoon it was said the colllsion was Aue to a misunderstanding of signals. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Unless Rear Admiral Schroeder, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, appoints a court of in- quiry into the collision Thursday of the battleships Georgia and Nebraska off the Virginla capes, the Navy department will do s0 as soon as the full reports of the ac- cident arrive in Washington. The latest trouble of the Nebraska was linked with the name of Lieutenant U. 8 Macy, for some time ordnance officer of that vessel. Unable to overcome the un- kindly fates that seem to hover over it, the Nebraska made a miserable showing in target practice as compared with some of the other battleships The Nebraska was called upon to ex- plain; other ships were complimented. Lieutenant Macy was in immediate charge of this feature of the ship's work. In or- der to justify himself he wrote a letter ad- dressed to the Navy department, explain- ing that low score was not his fault, but was due to a state of mutiny aboard the ship and other things that were not very complimentary to the commander of the vessel. That letter got no further than Rear Admiral Schroeder. He ordered a court martial of Lieutenant Macy, who was ac- quitted. He was transferred to tne Texas, but was finally rescued from that ship and sent by Assistant Secretary Winthrop to Minneapolls as recrulting of- ficer.

Of fhese speakers the most emphatic note was struék by Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury, In a bitter ar- ignmieAt of customs frauds, particularly the port of New York. The other two, e W. Wickersham, the attorney gen- cral, and Philander C. Knox, secretary of state, spoke along more general lines, the former emphasizing, however, the neces- sity of federal power, the Increase of which has been so much eriticised. Secre- tary Knox confined himself largely to the ever Increasing co-operation of nations Mr. MaeVengh's Address. Concerning customs house frauds in New York, Secretary MacVeagh sald: “You know what are trying to do for this city. We are trylng to cut out a festering corruption. The undertaking needs the president back of it, and it would impossible for any man in any po- sition to be more direct and normal in his outlook upon a question of Rood gov- ernment, or to resolved to back to the limit any important and wise project of improvement than President Taft. In what the Department of Justice and the Treasury department are undertaking to do at this port and In the less important but still important things shall at- tempt to do at the other ports of the country, we have President Taft behind ug.” Mr. MacVeagh here praised Willlam Loeb, Jr,, collector of the port, for the work he has accomplished and continued: “I shall dwell upon one obstacle only, and that isi the important Influence of the example of those rich or well to do velers, who, for the sake of what they can make of it, are willing to evade lawful dutles and sometimes to bribe in the bar- gain. A very serious consideration in this connection I8 the lack of sufficient public opinfon to aid in correcting these prac- tices.” #ixty we be more we. Holiday Recess for Congress Brilliant Affatr, The dinner tonight was a brilllant affair. Seated under the time-honored portrait of Willam Penn, and the emblazaned coat Adjournment Will Be Taken for Two Weeks Beginning December Twenty-One. The house of representatives on February 14, 180, adopted a new code of rules known a8 “the Reed rules.” and with but fow material changes it now governs the house. The code took its name from Thomas B Reed of Maine, spesker of the house. The other republican members of the commit- tee which reported the famous rules were Willlam McKinley and Joseph (. Cannon The adoption of this code was the trium- phant completion of a parliamentary revo- lution begun on Decomber 2, 1889, when the fifty-first congress met for lts first ses- slon. The opposition had exhausted every potsible effort in the vain attempt Lo defeat the new system, but In the two succeeding congresses the democrats, having a major ity, gave the stamp of their approval to the very eodo which they had so flercely denounced as tyrannical and treasonable. With the return of the republicans to power in 13% the Reed rules were continued as a matter of course, and while they have been the target of much bitter oratory, they have not been seriously threatened until the beginning of the present, the sixty- first congress. When the speclal session sat last March Speaker Cannon was re-elected without trouble, but the houte refused to adopt the rules of the former house and some slight amerdments were Incorporated, none of which In ahy sense impairs the effec- tiveness of the house machine. But party lines were broken and the regular ma- Jority was saved from utter defeat by a majority of only five, and that with the yotes of twenty-three democratic repre- sentatives. Thus for the first time since the Reed rules were adopted does & speaker and his organization depend for the grant of power upon a section of the opposing party. As the rules were devised and de- signed to promote party discipline and to secure party rule the situation Is a most remarkable one. When the fifty-first congress met the republicans for the first time In fourteen years found themselves In control of the presidency, the senate and the house of representatives. But their margin in the house was so small—only eight votes—that the leaders realized that herole methods must be employed to assure consistent and certain party success. Consequently Thomas B. Reed took the gavel with the determi- nation to make the majority effeotive, To accomplish this purpose two things were to be done, the one unjustifiable and arbi- trary, the other quite as arbitrary, but wholly justifiable. The first was to eject as many democratic members as possible and seat republicars in their places. This resulted In an increase of the republican majority from the dangerous number of elght to the safe and comfortable margin Some Things You Want to Know The American Oongress—Reed Rules Controversy. elston was lald on the table by not of the house, but of the quorum.

H told Deputy Galloway that he thought that Wil had surrendered. He did not know that he was arrested and was unable to explain why he did not glve himself up at that time. In talking to The Bee reporter last night he asserted that he did not wish to make a statement further than to say he thought that he was justified in killing the man who wrecked his home and that with the ald of an attorney he thought that he would be able to convince a jury that his home had been wrecked by Hamilton and that he was justified in committing the crime. When searched at the county prison Philllps fiad a pocketknife, a Bible and a purse contalning 8 cents. He explained that he had more money, but not with him at that time. He did not say anything about where it was, but it Is supposed that It Is In the possession of relatives, who will assist him in conducting his detense. Phillips was locked up in the solitary cell.

The yeas and nays were demanded on the question of consideration and the roll call showed 161 ayes, 2 noes and 165 not voting. The democrats, the very members who had demanded the yeas and nays, sat “silent, confident of victory In the possession of a century's accumulation of precedents.
