WILD NAN AND A GUN CIRCUIT BILL UP AGAIN
Senate Committee Hears Argu-
ments on Measure.
is OPPOSED
NATIONAL LIVE
STOCK ASSOCIATION.

Washington, Dec. 19-The senate COM
mlttee on AGRICULTURE today began the
consideration of the oleOmaTgarine bill,
which recently passed the house.
a large majority of those present were
opponents OF the bill and it was stated
mat as the friends of the measure had
not been heard before the house commit
tee they would be given the preference
IN the present hearing. Senator Proctor.
chairman of the committee, asked them
to be as brief possible as to allow
the committee to conclude its labOrs very
soon The oleomargarine men generally
complained of having received short no
tica and most of them asked for more
time. William NJ Springer appeared in
behalf of the National Livestock assOcia-
ton in opposition TO the bill
Congressman GrOut, author of the bill,
was permitted to make an explanation of
its provisions.
Former Governor Hoard of Wisconsin
also advanced an argument in SuDDort
of the bill. saying that its purpose is
that of preventing the counterfeiting Of
oleo Maker Heard.
Rathbona Gardiner of Providence, r. l..
representing the OakdaIe Manufacturing
company, makers of Oleoma rgarine, made
an argument against the pending bill
we contend that this bill is dishonest
IN purpose and 0Isnonest IN fsct. ne ue-
Clared. 1T seeks 10 accomplish by in
direction that which could be accom-
9liehod in no other way"
He maintained that the bill clearly was
a revenue act that it was so on its face
and by reason of the fact ne believed the
c@--rt- would hold 1t to be unconstitu-
tional He maintained that congress had
no moral right to pass an act, really a
revenue measure, but purpOrting to be
an act to regulate a kind Of business.
" Gardiner made an argument in
support of the business of oleornar garine
manufa cturers, declaring that the prod
uct was wholesome and in many respects
better than some butter.
Mr. Gardiner described the manufacture
of OleOmargarine and told of the reStTtC-
tons that were thrown around its manu-
facture, his point being that the product
contained nothing injurious, IN that It's
manufacture was regulated by law W ME
b. :.e--.ttets that in some instances oleo-
margarine was sold as butter, there was
really no ground for the wild charges
that 20 per cent of the oleomargarine
nroduct was sold as butter.

Booz Told to Brace Up"

count Of his cOwardice.
Il met BoOz IN the bathroom about
three days before he left. knew he
was in disfavOr for his actions and
said To him. why don't you brace

yourself
Why did you give him this ad-

Walter X Wilson of Tennessee had
seen BOOz the night Of the fight HIS
eye was black, but he could not say
what kind of spirits he was In, as he
did not talk to aim. Wilson had had
his feet inspected and many other lit

James NJ. HObsOn, ir., OF Alabama,
brother of Lieutenant Richmond p.
Hobson, said that BoOz was disliked

Burt Phillips of Ohio, after telling
about the hazing of 1898, was asked if
he were not the man mentioned by the
father of BOOz in his testimony the
other day. General Brooke read from
the transcript of the stenOgrapher' S
notes in which he stated that Phillips
father came to West Point in 1898, to
prevent his son from being hazed.
The witness said his father came
here but he was not aware that he
came for such d purpose.

The maximum strength Of the army
fixed at 100, 600 men, is not mentioned
until near the close Of the bill. It is
then inserted in connection with the
provision for the enlistment of Filipi-
nos. The provision is as follows:
THAT. when in his opinion, the con-
ditiOns in the Philippine islands justify
such action. the president is authorized
to enlist natives of the islands for ser
vice in the army to be organized as
scouts with such officers as he shall
deem necessary for the proper control
or as troops or companies, as author
lied by this act for the regular army
The president is further authorized, in
his discretion, to form companies, or
ganized from companies of the regular
army. in squadrOns. or battalions, with
officers and non commissiOned officers
corresponding to similar organizations
in the service and country arms. The
total number of enlisted men in such
native organizations shall not exceed
u O0J and the total enlisted force OF
this army together with such native
force, shall not exceed at any time 100.-
000"

bers of the Grand Army In Maine had that i'm.
preston when they elected him as department
commander some ten years ago.
The recent appointment OF postmaster in
Madison is also mentioned as a "notable ex-
ample" of utter disregard of the claims of sol.
diers who fought in the war for the Union.
The facts are that neither of the three appli.
eants for the Madison Office was soldier In the
war of 1861. Neither of them was old enough
to serve In that war, and one of them was un-
born at Its close. Thus both of the Somerset
cases Of alleged outrage treated In this docu-
ment, exhibit dense ignorance or intentional
disregard OF fact.
Henry o. Pierce, disabled veteran Of
Monmouth, is another who rushes to the
support OF Gov. Burleigh. In letter to
the Gardiner Reporter Journal he says
The old soldiers of this district never have
had and never will have a more devoted or
more persistent friend at Washington. No
man III Congress has ever been more industri
Gus in the fuItherance of their interests or
prompter In responding to their calls.
Mr.. Pierce then goes on to relate his
own experience, showing how attentive
Gov. Burieigh has been in listening to
the claims of old soldiers, and how active
in pressing their claims. He closes his
letter with this very logical paragraph:
One word further: 1t will be admitted by all
parties that Congressman Burleigh will be re-
elected by an in. mense majority. No sane man
for a moment will deny that. What benefit can
my soldier friends in Gardner expect to gain

such men expect that the defeated candidate
would have the power to call up their pension
claims and hasten them on to an adjudication,
or would they expect to apply for this aid to
Gov. Burleigh in the future, as in the past. and
with the same confident assurance Of receiving
his prompt and earnest assistance?
The Waldo county veterans association
recently passed resolutions condemning
in strong terms the action of the Gardi-
ner veterans in issuing the circular OPP
posing Gov. Burleigh. The grand army
post OF Munroe has passed similar re-
solutions, and cites a case in its town
where Gov. Burleigh rendered great ser
vice for the crippled daug liter OF a soldier.
The Belfast journal recently said:
The democratic attacks upon Congressman
Burleigh have had the naturally to he expected
result of recoilng upon their authors. The
charge that MIR. Burleigh is Indifferent If not
antagonistic, to the interests of the veterans,
their widows or orphans,is not only groundess,
