NOT SATISFACTORY - TO THE WORKMEN Unionist Press Prediets Dis- integration of the Ma- jority as Result of the.Gov- ernment’s Tactical Mistake LONDON, March 20.—What. is consid- ered to be a tactical mistake on the part of the, Government in coming into serfous conflict, not, only. with the Labor party, but with a large majority of its Liberal supportérs, over the introduction of the trades disputes bill in the House of Com- mons yesterddy is avowedly due to differs ences of opinion among the Ministers themselves, a strong minority being against a complete concession.to ‘Labor views, and the compromise ,adopted ap= parently pleases nobody. The incident is the subject of unanimous and keen regret on the part of the'Liberal newspapers this morning, because, they say, it hds already become known that the Government will vield by leaving the question to the decl- sion of the House, and that the result of this will be a great loss of prestige to the Government.. Besides, the papers say, it is almost certain-to meet with opposition “in the House'of Lords, which will send the bill back’ to the House of Commons shorn of the clause granting Immunity to trades unions, and possibly. of other im- No One May Rend Ranks| GEORGE W, PERKING UNDER ARREST ON ~ CHMBGE OF LARGENY Continned From Page 1, Column 5. that John A. l_(cClll, the late president of the New York Life Insurance Com- rany, had promised that the company would contribute to the national campaign fund the sum of $50,000, or as much of that sum as Mr. Bliss might find necessary. “Mr. Perkins confirmed this statement, and sald he had asked Mr. Bliss to call and that he was prepared to make a pay- ment of $50,000.to the campaign fund.- Aft- erward, by siccessive payments, $48,500 was paid by Mr, Perkins from his own m?!moe: to Mr. Bliss for the campaign PERKINS IS REIMBURSED. “In December, 194, the question of the reimbursement of Mr. Perkins came up between himself and Mr. McCall.

Mr. Mc- Call attended the fmeeting of the finance committee and informed {ts members of what had been done, and-sald Mr. Perkins had made this advance for the company at his request. L “It ig dlsclosed by the records of whom the.finance committee consisted, and it it bé'charged that any offense has been ¢com- mitted by Mr. Perkins, then the names— the honored names—of the men who com- posed_that committee are equally involved with ,that of my client, for the finance committee: at once consented to his reim- bursement, and by. check drawn by the treasurer, the assistant treasurer and Mr. McCall the sums advanced by Mr. Per- kins were repaid him, with interest. IMPORTUNED BY ALL PARTIES. Justice Greenbaum here interposed and asked Delafleld why this course was pur-. ' sued” with regard’to. the advancement of the ‘contribution to ‘the Republican com- mittee. AL “Mr. ‘McCall,” replied Delafield, “said, portant features which probably ‘would have been accepted. had ‘the Government boldly faeed-the problem. - The House of Lords, the newspapers declare, will' now point to the Government's awn course as justification for its rejecting the immu- nity clause. 4 The Unionist organs naturally are jubl- lant, pointing- out that this action.is in fulfillment of their: predictions of the dan- ger of the Government's unwieldy ma- jority, and heralding it as the beginning of the disintegration of the Liberal forces. «The trades disputes bill is a direct out- come of the Taffvale decision, which held that trades union funds were liable for the illegal acts of individual members of a unich. It was introduced in the House of Commons yesterday by the Attorney Gen- eral, 8ir J. Lgwson Walton. In explain- ing the features of the measure be sald that the recent court decisions had seri- ously curtailed the usefulness of trades unions. Their undoubted right of peace- ful. persuasion had been cut down to the point of extinction, and funds contributed to provide against sickness and lack of cmployment had been held liable to meet claims based on the repudiated acts of un- authorized officials. g The bill provides tiat mo act of a trades union shall be ‘held to be un- lawful if such act is lawful when com- mitted by an in.vidual. It sets forth ag appears by the papers, that he -was being importuned by all the political par- ties for contributions and that he had re- fused to contribute to any of .them except i'the Republican party, whose policy he congidered was for the best interests of the New York -Life, and he further in- formed' Perkins that he had- refused the importunate demands of the other parties. “The check was drawn ‘in the usual course of business of the company and entered upon its ledgers as all payments were entered, and diselosed the name of the payee and its amount, and ‘was regu- larly entered upon all its books."” “Is there any entry which disclosed the nature of the payment?” inquired Justice Greenbaum. s “No, there is no ledger entry which ghows that,” said Delafield. “Mr. Perkins knows nothing abcut the books. He has had no time to go through the books. If any wrong was done with regard to the entries in thesbooks it cannot be imputed to Mr. Perkins. : y ROOT GIVES THE SENATE NEW SHOCK Note to Austrian Foreign Office Criticised. Speaks of Storer as the President’s Em- bassador. —_— Congressmen Regard This as a Blow at Their Authority. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, ‘WASHINGTON; March 28.—Wording of the letter from the State Department to the Foreign Office at Vienna, anpouncing the recall of Embassador Storer, which | has been cabled back from Europe, has created a storm of criticlsm in Congress. In his letter Secretary of State Root sald that the President had pleased to ter- minate at once ‘“the amuthority'of his Embassador, Mr. Storer, to represent him.” This is taken to mean that a precedent has been established which, if not chal- lenged, will result in giving to the repre- sentatives of this country to foreign cburts an entirely different capacity than they were supposed to . The ex- pression is taken to that:the Pres- ident no longer regards the Embassadors as representatives of the Government of the United States; that is, of the Presi- dent and Congress, but ass personal rep- resentatives of the President. Forelgn Ministers and other diplomatic agents lower than the rank of Embassa- dors ' representing monarchical" Govern- ments., are supposed to represent: their sovereigns. The Bmbassadors. of such courts. rank higher and are supposed to représent the person of the sovereign. - The diplomgtic correspondence of the United States is full of expressions that an Embassador or Envoy does not es- pecially represent the Presidént. A’ prominent Senator, in. commenting upon the wording of the letter announc- ing the recall of Storer, sald that until the present time the point had never been ralsed in this country that an Embassa- dor ‘represented the President any more than a Minister did, end that the ap- pointments of Embassadors must first be confirmed by the Senate before they BOOKS OPENED T0 JEROME. “When this matter was 3 peared to Mr. Perkins. thal ticipating in the transaction inal as weil as he if any offense was com- mitted, and that eyerybody so participat- ing could refuse to give ‘tes and thus all doors by which . the ° nee | might be had would have been closed. But in express terms the right of peaceful picketing, which the Attorney General declared was an essential part of the right to strike, and defines the law of agency as applied” to trades unlon funds for any act, unless:it is perfectly clear that the act was authorized by the governing body of the union. In tegard to the demands for the complete immunity of trades union funds from attack, the Attorney Gen- eral declares that e did not think it right to create a special privilege for the proletariat.. If the bill did not fulfill the expectations of the trades unions, the Government at least had done its best to solve the thorny prob- lem. This statement, which closed the At- torney General's speech, was greeted with shouts of “no” from the benches occupied by the Labor party members of Parliament. It speedily becane evident that the Government's measure was not at all to the liking of the Labor members, who, before its introduction, declared their opposition to anything short of compléte immunity for union funds. In their opposition to the bill Labor members are supported by the Irish. and many Ministerial members, and un- less the Government is willing to make union funds immune from claims for damages arising from strikes, the La- bor members will test the -opinion of the House with a bill which they have pre- pared. The Irish will ask to have the bill extended to-include. Irish farmers and others who are open to unfair treatment. The trades ‘disputes bill, which was read for the first time yesterday, will be fought on its second reading in com- mittee, g % ~ SRR " . G FfllENl)’LY TOWARD IRELAND. Modified Home Rule Bills to Be Pre- sented in Parlinment. LONDON; March 28.—Proposed meas- ures regarding questions of government in Ireland are now being looked-for. 8o far the members of the Irish: party in Parlia- ment have képt under cover, taking small part in the debates on the fiscal question and other 'matters, but in view of the overwhelming Iiberal- majority and the fact that the majerity stands committed to at least frienidly ‘consideration of Irish réforms - it 15 certain ‘that Redmond, Healy or sonfeé one of the. Irish Parlia- mentarians will sooner or later bring in a measure for ‘the consideration of the House. 3 X “Home rule by instalilments” was one of the slogans of the late election;. also Irish supervision over Irish affairs. There is no reason to suppose, however, that the attitude of the Tlouse of Lords toward home rule measures has changed from its traditional antipathy, therefore the pros- pect of anything radical in the way of pro-TIrish legislation seems remote, in spite of the House of Commons. There is no redson to belleve that any- thing as spectacular as the late Glad- stone’s home rule bills will be presented and depated in Parliament. Indications rather point t6"an increase of the powers of community governments, councils and the like, and what the upper house will do when even such measares are before it is a matter of doubtful speculation, On the whole, Ireland seems to be looked 1) t: with @ more friendly eye than ever re. o if :: % SPECIAL TRAIN TO MEXICO ¥ Lenaves April 10th, Reserve your berth t 613 ‘Market street.

We turned over to the District Attorney our books, and evidence which could not have been obtained by force of law was thus given him.” Delafield then requested that his time to demur to the writ be extended and that Perkins be paroled in his custody, it béing evident, counsel said, that in any event there had been no criminal intent. Jerome said he had no objection. Friday next was fixed by Justice Greenbaum for the hear- ing of the arguments, and Perkins was paroled as requested. . g SALARIES NOT REDUCED. Mutual Life’s British Manager Denies Statement by Peabody. LONDON, March 29.—So far as Is ascertainable the British policy holders of the Mutual® Life Insurance Company of New York are disposed to wait for the formulation of the scheme of D. C. Haldeman, the British manager of the company, before taking action, being confident that, as he himself holds pol- fcles in the Mutual to the extent of $145,000, he has a strong interest to see that their inerests are placed on a sound basis. In the course of an interview with the Dally Telegraph of today Halde- man’ sald he could not believe that President -Peabody could have stated that the salaries of the London staff were reduced at the beginning of the year. “It being,” said Haldeman, “a ques- tion of reduction of expenses, I ad- justed the matte® so'that the only man who suffered any reduction was my- \selt.” - # The British manager of the New York Life Insurance Company has writ- ten to the Earl of Onslow promising his ‘ald. to the Government's committee and adding: “We shall be more than glad to see some measure of just: and searching supervision over our English business.” o ST POSTPONES ‘MUTUAL'S ELECTION.

In his anxiety to dismiss Embassador Storer President Roosevelt omitted to observe this formality. When this is not done it is regarded as a discourtesy to the Government to which the diplomat is accredited. The Austrian Foreign Office also has ignored the letter of Secretary Root stating that the letter of recall of Em- bassador Storer had been mailed and asking that Government to everlook the formality of having Storer present himself and advising the Viemna Gov- ernment that this office would be per- formed by Embassador Francis.

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is a foo remarkable nourishing value as L;fl :5 a.dellclous, appetizing beverage. Taken with meals it Is a tonic of unquestioned merit and a splendid aid to digestion. The small amount of alcohol contained in it—only 3% per cent—Iis insufficlent to act as a stimulant unless used with extreme immoderation, and yet, to quete Dr. I . P. Snutwich of -La Grange, 8. C, it is sufficient to “aid di- gestion by increasing the activity of the Stomach.” He says further: “I do not think the moderate use of beer injuri- ous to the health of adults.
