HOUSE CHEERS FOR SULLIVAN Massachusetts Congressman Explains Incident Alluded To by William R. Hearst {RECEIVES AN OVATION Editor Absents Himself and Leaves a Free Field to His Fearless Antagonist —_—— | { { | chapter of the episode between Sullivan | of Massachusctts and Hearst of New York occurred in the House today when Sulivan again took the floor upon a question of privilege and related the | circumstances leading up to the indict- ment and conviction of his father and himselif for manslaughter. In decided contrast with the remarks of yester- day, when the two men heaped upon each other epithets and charges of a serious nature, Sullivan’s statement to- | day was devoid of any further attack lon his colieague and was a straight recitation of the occurrence referred to by Hearst yesterday. Sullivan admitted the charge, but said that he himself had only been technically guilty and was permitted to leave the court a free . man without serving a day’s imprison- ment or being subjected to a fine. His father had been impriscned a year and a half, but, on the introduction of new | evidence, which presented a grave doubt of guilt, his father had been par- doned. Sulivan said: | The case arose in this manner. My father was the sole proprietor of a licensed hotel known as the Ceneral House, in Cambridge, Mass. An_intoxicated man, who was not a guest and had not entered the hotel that day, came to the main door and my father, seeing {him, shut the door against him. Thereupon | the ‘man went around to the back door and broke a window. My father went out upon the street, took the man by the collar and demanded 'that he pay for the damage he had done. The man responded by striking him {and a fight ensued. It is a fact, and one that has never been denied, that no weapons of any kind were used on either side. I came up at the time when my father was being | overpowered by this man and took the part | of my father in the struggle. The jury found that the man was knocked down by a blow from my father's fist, and, his head striking | against ~the curbstone, bécame unconscious. | There was testimony in the trial of the case that he never recovered consclousness and died two days after the assault. At this conclusion of the trial my father enced to three years in the House rrection. The District Attorney, on his own motion, stated to the court that he would ask no sentence agalnst me, as 1 was but a boy 17 years old, in my first year at the Boston Law School, and without any moral guilt in the matter at all; that I was held Solely because 1 was present and was a party e sault, and was only ordingly, the court placed my case on file. 1 was not fined one cent or imprisoned one minute. After dighteen months of my father's term had been served the Governor's Council of Massachusetts par- doned him and their action was due to the f t two witnesses who did not appear \ the court came before the Gov- Council and testified, one that he had ased to a hotel in Boston liquor and that the de- back with him that night in- he other witness testified that dur- nis. toxicated. ing the night the deceased got up in house and while proceeding toward the vard which adjoined the premises fell down a flight of stairs, was then picked up unconscious, brought to his bed and remained there with- it regs sciousness until he died. This B bt ‘In the minds of the Governor's Couneil as to whether the fall upon the curb- stone had caused the man's death or the fall down the stairs, most of them inclining to the view that it was the fall down stairs Which produced the fracture of the skull that resulted in .unconsciousness from Which he neven recovered All of the facts, Sullivan said, were fully published in all the newspapers in the city of Boston at the time, and | were before his constituents when he | was elected to the Massachusetts Sen- ate in 1900 and 1901 and to the Congress of the United States In 1902 and 1?04: “and it was not,” he said in conclusion, “until twenty years after that alleged offense that any individual was found who felt that it was necessary or proper to ailude to the circumstances of the case.” Sullivan received loud applause from both sides -of the chamber when he de- clared that he walked out of court a free man and had not been imprisoned a day or fined a cent. The applause broke out afresh when he declared that under similar circumstances, if his father were alive, he would go to his defense. He took his seat amid renewed applause, several members going to his seat and shaking his hand. ‘When Suilivan concluded his Repub- lican colleague, Gardner, feelingly WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The second | LITTLEFIELD SEES TROUBLE fears Danger May Lie in the Open Door in China and in South American Policy | Favors Free Trade With the Islands, but Compares-the Group to Pandora’s Box SRR WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Anticipat- !ing a deficiency at the end of the fiscal | year of from $80,000,000 to $90,000,000, if | all the appropriation bills reported be- | come laws, Littlefield of Maine inquired { of Foss in the House to-day if it were | wise to appropriate in excess of the revenues. Foss replied that on general | principles Congress ought to appro- ‘Kprlate aceording to the revenues. Littlefield discussed conditions exist- ing ifi the Philippines, and said they would continue to be a veritable Pan- dora’s hox. He woyld, he said, vote to abolish the tariff between the United States and the Philippines, not because he believed in free trade between the United States and a foreign land, “but because it is not foreign land.” “The future will determine whether this altruistic international experience may,” he said, “in the light of history, be deemed worth while.” | The Philippine archipelago, he said, so long as retained, would necessitate |large increases in the army and the navy. Japan, he said, is now engaged “in that hellish trade of war, and ever since she was driven out of Manchuria by the brutal concert of the interna- tional European powers and Russia left in charge she has been devoting her zeal, energy, ability, patriotism and re- ligious fervor in preparing for the trade of war." ‘While it may be wise to keep the open door with China, he said, he did not . know “how large the stick may need to be to keep between the door and its jamb.” | Speaking of the South American re- | publies, Littlefield expressed apprehen- sion that the United States would soon- er or later be policing them. The Mon- roe doctrine, he declared, did not go sq far that the United States must sit upon the threshold of every South ' American republic “and keep the door open in order that it may cash their checks or collect the indebtedness of |, any single power.” MAY CUT NEW MEXICO FROM STATEHOOD BILL Latest Plan Is to Admit Only Joint State of Oklahoma and Indian ‘Territol WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Confer- ences among members of the Senate have been in progress to-day looking to an agreement to accept the decision of the House on the Statehood bill if that body should determine upon amending it to admit only Oklahoma 2nd Indian Territory as one State and eliminate all that part which relates to New Mexico, The close vote in-the Senate over the proposition to admit Arizona and New Mexico as one State seems to ! preclude the possibility of an agree- ment in regard to these territories. At the same time the demand for the ad- mission of Oklahoma and Indian Ter- ritory has been so great that there is a disposition to come to an agreement gnlat would save that portion of the 111 ——— Army Orders.

TALKS OF PHILIPPINES| BALFOUR AND LANSDOWNE OUTLINE GREAT BRITAIN'S POLICY. Colonel Younghusband Rebuked Continued From Page 1, Column 4. as last year, that of the Prince of ‘Wales from Marlborough House con- sisting of three carriages, with an es- cort of Household Cavalry, preceding by a few minutes the cortege of the King and Queen from Buckingham Pal- ace, Five state carriages, each with six horses, bearing state officials preceded the royal coach with the sovereigns, drawn by the eight cream-colored Hun- garians which have figured in all the | State precessions of recent years. Household Cavalry acted as a body- guard, while, in pursuance of their privilege, a detachment of Yeomen of the Guard marched alongside the state | coach. At the royal entrance beneath the Victoria Tower of the House of Lords the King was received by tha high of- ficers of state and passed in proces- sion to the robing-room. Thence, ac- companied by the Queen, his Majesty repaired to the House of Lords, pre- ceded by the crown and other regalia, carried by their hereditary bearers, and by the heralds announcing the approach of the sovereigns. The scene in the gilded chamber on the arrival of their Majesties was pic- turesque and brilliant. Its small com- pass was crowded to excess with mem- bers of the royal family, peers, peer- esses, Judges, Bishops, Embassadors and the privileged members of the | House of Commons, who were attired in the gayest state costumes. The King seated himself on the throne and com- manded the attendance of the Speaker and members of the House of Com- mons. On the arrival of the latter the | King arose and read the speech in a clear, firm voice. The short ceremony then ended, the King and Queen re- tired to the robing-room, the proces- sion was reformed and their Majesties returned to the palace over the same route by which they came. LANSDOWNE ADDRESSES LORDS. At the resumption of business in the House of Lords Lord Chancellor Salis- bury read the King's speech and the Marquis of Winchester (Conservative) moved the address in reply. Earl Spencer, the Liberal leader, re- ferred to the war in the Far East. He sald it was the most earnest desire of the people of Great Britain to see the end of the conflict and he trusted his Majesty's Government would not lose a fair and proper opportunity to bring the conflict to a peaceful solution. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne ex- pressed his sorrow and concern at the continuance of the war in the Far East, and said that should an oppor- tunity for bringing it to a close pre- sent itself the Government would avail itself thereof with alacrity; but an at- tempt at intervention now would mean retarding the very object desired. Great Britain had endeavored, not un- successfully, to maintain the strictest neutrality. In regard to the most difficult and embarrassing question of contraband, the Government, Lord Lansdowne con- tinued, had upheld the wise ahd time- honored policy of securing the narrow- est possible restrictions of the defini- tion of contraband articles 1t was satisfactory to have been able to ar- rive at a reasonable modus vivendi. Since July not a single British vessel had been interfered with except where clearly a blockade runner. Referring to the North Sea incident, | Lord Lansdowne said that once, and | only once, was the nation near to being | drawn into the vortex of war. He need | hardly say it arose in connection with the North Sea incident, to which he only referred because he desired to acknowledge the Kindly remarks of the Government upon its conduct of the negotiations fcllowing the Dogger Bank affair. MACEDONTAN PROBLEM. Speaking on the subject of Mace- donia, Lord Lansdowne said there was a consensus of opinion among the powers in favor of drastic reforms, and a scheme would be proposed which he heped would meet with sympathetic criticism. The troubles in Macedonia were not merely a case of Turkish mis- management, which might be ended by a stroke of the pen, but the conditions in Macedonia were not equaled in the civilized world at the moment. Russia and Austria, upon whom the powers | conferred a mandate to deal with the Macedonian problem, had put forward a new scheme of reform, which was vnder discussion, but the Foreign Sec- retary was unable to present it in de- tail to the House. The British Govern- ment was satisfled that it marked a step in advance. Lord Lansdowne also referred to the Anglo-French agreement. He said it had been of no little value in settling many difficulties. In referring to South Africa the For-| eign Secretary said that the British Government was prepared to give the Transvaal first, and then the other colonies, not self-government, but rep- resentative institutions. Touching upon the Tibetan expedi- tion, Lord Lansdowne said that the at- titude of the Government toward Tibet had been absolutely consistent. Colonel Younghusband (the British political agent who headed the mission) had| transgressed his instructions when he arranged for British forces to remain in the Chumbi district for sevemy-flvo1 years, and this action had been repu- diated by his Majesty's Government. The Secretary briefly referred to the naval and military situation, saying the departments were moving as rap- idly as consistent with wisdom. In regard to alien immigration the Secretary sald it was clearly indicated by the sentiment of the people that the Government must deal with the situa- tion thoroughly. In conclusion Foreign Secretary Lans- downe returned to the redistribution bill, which he said could not be passed at the present session. ASSAILS BALFOUR MINISTRY. In the House of Commons W. A. Mount, Conservative, and Samuel Rob- erts, Conservative, seconded the ad- dress in reply to the King’s speech. The first division approaching party lines occurred when Dalziel, Liberal, moved that the House censure Lord Arlington for breach of privilege by his action 1n the North Dorset election. Premier Balfour said nothing could be gained by continuing the discussion, and moved the previous question, which was carried. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader in the House, speaking on Mount’s motion, bitterly assalled the Government, which, he said, was evading the fiscal question, as shown by the failure of a mover. He said that the opposition would shortly en- deavor to secure a stralght answer from Premier Balfour showing whether or not he was in agreement with Jo- seph Chamberlain’s proposals. He con- tinued almost up to 7:30 o'clock, when Sir Edgar Vincent (Conservative) took up the debate and was speaking when the House suspended its sitting. The first hour and a half of the night session was taken up with desultory speeches in the debate upon the ad- dress in reply to the speech from the throne. Premier Balfour rose at 10:30 o’clock to reply to Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman. JUSTIFIES GOVERNMENT ACTION | Balfour justified the Government's action in Thibet, saying it was the Ministry’s earnest desire to maintain the friendliest relations with Afghan- istan. He touched on Chinese labor in South Africa and repeated Lord Lansdowne’s pronouncement with regard to the fu- Earl Spencer, who had congl'atulatedI ture of the South African colonies. He also defended the sugar convention. Balfour protested against bringing the fiscal question before this Parlia- ment and said it was entirely irrelev- ant. He was unable, he said, to make his position clearer than he already had done. He taunted the opposition on the existing confusion concerning its future programme. The House of Commons adjourned at 11:12 o'clock. / H. H. Asquith will move the follow- ing: “We humbly represent to Your Maj- esty that the various aspects of the fiscal question have been fully dis- cussed in the country for nearly two years and that the time has come for ADVERTISEMENTS. submitting the question to the people without further delay.” It is understood the leaders of the opposition favor discussion of this Question on February 16. i Elected to Parliament.
