Williams said to-day that other . bills be looked for, as he would not be fled with revision to the extent in- from his standpoint it was merely the first step In the right direc- tion and an invitdtion to the Republican party to declare its intentions. Williams introduced a blll to authorize the imposition of an income ta: The Philipnines tariff bill provides that articles the product and growth of the Philippines shall be-admitted into the United States free of import duty, and that all articles the preduct and growth of the balance of the United States shall be admitted into the Philippines free of import dut and that nothing contained in the bill s nstrued to repeal 1 of the Paris treaty between es and Spain Another bill proposes to esteblish a minimum tariff ‘of the United States.

It forbids common carrier or iransportation agency of any sort, including express from transporting spirituous, vinous or malt Haquors into any State or municipality where the sale of lquor is forbidden, when they are carried C.

Fighting at the naval academy is condemned, and the Secretary says the practice must be | suppressed. MANY SHIPS OBSOLETE. An increase in the marine corps and the upbuilding of the naval militia of the sev-| | era) States is strongly advised. The repeal of the statute requiring the transportation of supplies for the navy-in American bottoms is recommended. The Secretary proposes that a new ship be added to the navy to be named | the Constitution, to perpetuate the name § nt civil ab- 1 1 the bureaus b s paid. He Te “organized a s ched to the n 1c e MOSt comp: m i which eh. and right of | T | as obsolete, made famous by the fighting frigate of the war of 1812 In this connection the Secretary says the vessel now known as Constitution in reality contains but y portions of the original ship. The department recommends the au- { thorigation of the following thirteen ad- ditions to the navy: Two battleships, $15,000,000; two scout cruisers, $4,000,000; four destroyers, $3,000,000; two submarines or submersibles, $00.000; one gunhoat of the Helena type, $600,000; two river gun- boats, $200,000: total, $23.300,000. 3 The Secretary suggests that the hattle- hips be of 16,000 tons displacement, With eight twelve-inch gune. This type is thought to be more desirable than that of 18,000 tons recommended by the gen- eral hoard. Another steel floating dry- dock is 4lso recommended. Mr. Bonaparte commerts generally_ oni| the navy as follows:. { If circumstances remain as they now are I see no reason to suppose that the number of, #higs~in our navy need increase; on the don-| trary, it 18 reasonable to anticipate that their pumber will be reduced, and even reduced ma- terially, within e next-five yéars,” What Is' more important however, than the mere. hum- ber of ships on our register is the eize of our fighting fleet; and, here again, supposing that np gevelgpments at ‘present unforeseen, ocour in the fhctors of .the problem, it eeetos” prob- @ble that no increase, -but, ‘on the CORtPATY, some slight reduction m: be anticipated with- in the period above mentioned in. the numer of vessels composing this fleet. In other WorGe, the ageregate of our battleships, ar- | mored cruisers and coast defense vessels built, bullding or authorized would seem, aceording (o present indications, sufficient to provide. for, any contingencies- within the lmits of. prob ability. This statment, however, must not be mis— vnderstood. It does not at all mean that we should give up building néw ships; on the con- trary, the necessity for vessels of an improvel t¥pe to take the place of those now ized or eventually destined ‘to become euch, has grown plain and urgent. The momitors and most of the battle- ships and cruisers of tie- Spanish war are classed as obsolete and the recom- mendation made that they be in time re- placed. An additional appropriation is asked to make possible the building at Govern- ment navy yards of the two colliers au- thorized by Congress. 3 The estimates for 1807 call for $328,400 for Mare Island, of which $100,00 18 for work on the channel and $75,000 for a:cen- tral heat, light and power station. The total appropriations asked for the navy for 1997 amount to $121,56571% 82, against $109,956,679 94 for 1906, s S A To Amend Ramama Canal Law. - WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—Representative Hepburn to-day dntroduced ia- bill to amend the Panama W 1 | | { | \ I | | | { RAILWAYS STILL DISOBEY LAWS Attorney General BelievesE President’s Rate Policy 1 | | WASHINGTON, Dec, 4.—The annual re- port of Attorney General Moody, which was given out to-day, is devoted. largely to a discussion of the anti-trust laws and | the ‘suits against corporations brought b the Government. The Attorney Genera says that the railroads still disobey the law, despite the best efforts of the Gov-| érnment agents. - He states: A Offictals of railroads have in general terms assured ‘me of their willingnees to aid the de- partment in every way in enforcing the pro- visions of the law againsy reba diserimina- tions and departures from published rates, but { have declifitd to render the only assistance thet would be of the slightest vaiue, namely, :e_furmshing of “evidence proving the offense. To every case of this kind theré are two ! gulity parties. The department has been and is willing to accept the evidence either of the shipper or of the rallroad official, giving him the immunity from prosecution which would vesult from the-use of the .evidence, and tu | proceed by indictment against the other guilty | party, _But, for reasons which will be appre- | ciated by all, men have shrunk- from betray- ing their confederates. The cases, theyefore, in vhich evidence has been -or will. be obtained are occasional and exceptionsl, and uniéss we are content to allaw the evil of the discrimi- natoty practice by common carriers to con- tinue, with now and then the punishment of a detected crime, some remedy which reaches deeper than any law now upon the statute book must be found. The Interstate Commerce Commission and the Department of Justies, by the exercise of the utmost diligence, can diséover and prohibit or punish ofly a small percentage of the discrim- inatory practices which actually exist. It s probable that the direct payment of re- in money has largely diminished. It is b alleged to be true, and the evidence before this department, so far as it goes, tends to support the allegation that, though clothed and dis- guised by various devices, the practice of giving one shipper preferential treatment over another im like situation, in substance, still continues. 1f the power, upon complaint, to fix a future maximum rate and put It Into effect within a reasonable time, subject €o appeal to the courts, should be given to some administrative body created by Congress, a weapon against discrtm- inatory practicés, much more potent than any o give to all shippers in ke situation. Such a finding, it conld be predioted with certainty, the courts upon. appeal would not reverse, for no better evidence of the legality and justice of the rate tbus fixed could be found than in the mction -of the carrier Iteelf. "It wauld be difficult for the carrier to maintain that a rate actually charged. by it was confiscatory or un- Juet 5 More power is recommended for the Federal -courts in_securing the arrest of criminals- who are in a different State | from that where the charge is made. The report says: The existing condition -of the criminal law of the United States is justly open to many { Criticism=. Persons accused of crime are sur- rounded by safeguards, some established by laws, some by the administration of the laws i the traditions which affect and control if, and some unalterably establishéd by the con- stitution itself. Many of these safeguards had their origin in tonditions long since passed away forever. In no respect Is the law more justly open to eritic than In the humiliating inability of the Government of the United States to procure for trial in its courts those { who are there accused of a violation of its |laws |"".1 respectfully recommend the enactment of a | 1aw which will, provide in subgtance that where an indictment s duly returned to 4 court of fhe United States, the Judge of that ecourt | may. after certifying that he has examined the indlctment and fe_of the ormion that it sets forth a crime agaipst the United States, and er the District Attorney has certified that in judgment there is probable cause to belleve a “:'r’.sn the defendants are gujity, issue a bench nt for the arrest of the dafendants wher- | ever they may be found within the territorial | Timits of the United States; and that It shall be the duty of all persons authorized to sérve such process to arrest the person or persons in- dloted, The Secretary again recommends to Congress the necessity of providing, by suitable legislation, for an appeal on the part of the Government in cases of de- cisions adverse to the United States by the courts upon demurrers interposed to indictments. Up to the present time, with the exception of the code of the Dis- trict of Columbia, no legislation has been enagted making .this. provision. Recommendation 1s made of a law pro- viding for punishment, for misconduct in office, such as brought about the cotton leak, “Provisions are needed,” says the At- torney General, “to resulate the matter of evidence.to be obtained in the Phillp- pines, the Canal Zone, Guam, etc., to b vged in the Federal courts here and in in which the evidence Is taken.” e BRIEF SESSION OF SENATE. | wirra Aflfinm-t Taken Out of Respect to Late Senator Platt. .

Stilling’ the applause with ‘his gavel, Cannon accepted the position in a brief speech of thanks, during which he told the ‘members it was -their duty to be promptly in attendance at all sessions of the House. A Representative Bingham of Pennsyl- vania, father of the House, administered the oath of office to Cannon, after which the roll- was called by States for the purpose .of administering the oath to members. Those taking the oath, which was administered by the Speaker, came. forward {o the space in front of the Speaker's desk. By unanimous consent Marshall of North Dakota took the oath, though his credentials had not arrived. On motion of Hepburn, the officers of the House of the last Congress were re- elected and sworn in, the House first voting down the officers proposed by Henry of Texas on behalf of the minority. A resolution adopting the same rules as prevailed in the last Congress, offered by Dalzell, '‘brought on the first debate, which was short, ' but provoked considerable laughter. ‘Willlams of Mississippi sought recog- nition for an amendment, making the rules applicable for only thirty dags. This was not permitted, but Williams indulged in eriticism of the rules, calling them manacles and appealing to the “minority- of the majority’” to vote against thelr adoption, He remarked that there was a great difference of opinfon gaining ground smong Republicans, as evidenced by the La Follette idea, the Cummins idea, the new sachusetts) free materfal idea and all sorts of Republican ideas blown in by every breeze from the East and West, all looking to a revision of tariil &chedules. It was explained briefly by Dalzell that the rules offered for adoption had pre- vailed substantially since the fifty-first the Speaker's chair, ‘Willilams Congress. On his motion for the previ- ous question, Williams secured a - roll call. The vote was 228 for and 123 against ordering the previous question. The rules were then adopted on a viva voce vote. It was ordered that the daily session should begih at noon. The minority floor employés were authorized, and coples of the rules ordered printed. . On Tawney's motion, the drawings for seats was begun. It was arranged, after some discussion, fhat the party diyision aisle should be made the first aisle from the céntér’ of the Democratic side, in- stead of the center aisfe, this being nec- essary to accommodate the larger pro- portion of Republicans. The hew ar- rangement gives the majority. party: the firsi sectlon of thirty-five seats nearest the center aisle on the minority side, also | the last section of eighteen seats, known as the “Cherokee $trip,” on the minority side. Ex-Speaker Keifer of Ohfo-and Repre- sentative Bingham ' of Pennsylvania, fatheér of the House; Payne of New York, the Republican floor leader, and Willlams of Mississippl, the Democratic floor lead- er, were permitted to choose their seats beforé the drawing.

She had known Staples for a year prior to her marriage with him. She was repeatedly warned by friends not to marry Staples, because he was } | ings be quashed, claiming that the court| On March 25, 1902, .at the instigation of the Attorney General's office at Wash- ington, Judge Philllps granted a tem- porary order restraining .the Missouri Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Chicago and | Alton, the Burlington and the Rock Isl- and railway companies from giving al- leged rebates on various prodpcts. Last summer M. D. Purdy, Assistant Attorney General, brought additional proceedings, citing the officials of the rallways named for contempt, in the allegation that they had violated the court’s order in contin- uing to give rebates. The contempt pro- ceedings were argued in Judge Phillips’ court on November §, when the attorneys,| for the raflWays moved that the proceed- | addicted to drink and “went out with other women."” At the end of four months he tried to persuade her to mortgage the property left her by her father, in order to buy the ‘Judge saloon in Spokane. She re- fused and he beat and choked her. This persuasion was effective, and she gave him $2500 in July, with which he bought | the saloon. From that time on, the pe- | titioner says, he was drunk continually and spent all the earnings in carousals with ‘strange women. % In his conclusions of law Judge Huneke says: ‘“The plaintiff would be entitled to & divorce by virtue of the acts of the de- fendant but for the fact that at the time of marrying the defendant she knew his habits and married him with her eyes open.” was without jurisdiction. The grounds of the decision in Judge Phillips’ opinfon are, first, that the Su- preme Court of the United States in the case of the Missourl Pacific Railway Com- pany vs. United States decided that the United States Circuit Court had no_juris- diction to grant such relief as is asked in | the present case, so when the resiraining order was issued by the United States| Circuit Court for the Western District of | Missouri the court was without jurisdic- tion; and, second, while what is known | as the Elkins act, pa d by Congress in| February, 1%3, authorized such a pro-| ceeding by the United States District At- torney of the jurisdiction where the of- fense was committed, this act, being| passed nearly a year after the restrain-| ing order of March 1902, had no re-| troactive operation so as to validate that order. e i s i BIG LAND CASE DISMISSED.
