HITS McCLEARY
Tawney Denounces His COL
leagues Methods as to
Oleo Bill.
Declares That McCleary's
Action Is Without
Precedent.

From The Journal Bureau, Room Is, Post
Washington. ..'.r- -.
Washington, Jan. 22.-Before the house
agriculture committee to-day Congress-
men McCleary and Tawney spoke in sup
port of their bills to regulate the sale of
oleomargarin. McCleary spoke first, and
confined himself to plea for the passage
of the Grout bill of the last congress,
which is now his bill. It leaves small
tax on uncolored oleo. Tawney's places
uncolored oleo on the free list. Both bills
tax the colored article 10 cents pound
Mr.. Tawney in his speech referred quite
caustically to the methods Mr.. McCleary
mas resorted to in advancing his bill, and
said IN the beginning of his address:
l am here at the request of the committee,
not Tor the purpose Of urging you to support
my Dill or any particular bill. Any bill
winch the friends of the man who makes hon
est butter may report from this committee
will receive my hearty support ~-
Tawney then referred to the "gross
misrepresentation that have been cir
culated throughout the country, especially
among dairymen and agricultural news
papers concerning the bill 1 introduced, -
and the strenuous attempt thus made to
discredit the bill and impugn the motives
of, its author; and although McCleary
was not named it was evident that Taw-
ney had him in mind After giving a
history of the attempted oleo legislation,
including the old Grout bill, Tawney said,
again referring to McCleary:
1t is common thing for those outside oe
congress to eneeavor to accomplish the same
end as the proposed legislation by praising
the measure in which they are interested but
doubt if prior to this congress, within the
experience of the Oldest member of the house,
and certainly not in my almost ten years ex-
perience, has member introduced a BILL and
then, by printed and written circulars sent
broadcast by him over his signature and
under his frank, sought to discredit the bill
of fellow member relating to the same SUBJ
discredit him by impugnng that members
motives. That is not the practice of states
men nor of gentlemen 1t is childish.
Tawney's strongest argument against
the old Grout bill in addition to these
previously alluded to in these dispatches
was that it has recently been discovered
that it is possible for the purchaser or
user of uncolored oleo to color it with
out remelting or remanufacturing.
IF this is so," he said, "the quarter
jectionable as to tax it at all. The entire
retail dealers carefully instructed how
to color it, thereby enabling him to evade
the entire tax
Tawney advocated an amendment of the
legal definiteion of the word "manufac-
turers" so as to make it cover the above
possible situation.

CHURCH ROW
semi-Riot Over Confirmation
of an English
Bishop.

London, Jan. 22.-The ceremony of the
confirmation of Right Rev. Charles A.
Gore as bishop of Worcester, at the
church house, Westminster, to-day, was
attended by an extraordinary scene of tu-
multi. The hall was thronged and there
were numerous objectors to the confirma-
ton, among whom was John Kensit, the
notorious antiritualist crusader They
protested SO vehemently that what was
Intended to be semireligi0us ceremony
assumed the character of disorderly
political gathering. Bishop Cores editor
ship of Lux Mundi and the fact that he
is the founder of monastic celibate So
ciety, figured largely among the argu-
ments.
The vicar general ruled out most of
the protests, whereupon Kensit defied the
vicar general to stifle him, declaring he
would continue to protest until elected by
force. A great 'uproar followed and it
was only when the vicar general proceeded
to carry out his threat to clear the hall
that Kensit consented to sit down. Cries
Of Farce" and Conspiracy" accompa-
MED Bishop Cores declaration and the adj
ministration Of the oath.

Last of Escaped Prisoners on
McNeils Island Back
in Their Cells.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. o. A reporter
Just returned from McNeils island brings
the news that every one Of the eleven
criminals who escaped from the United
States penitentiary on McNeils island
Sunday noon slept behind prison bars last
, night.
The last four to be taken, James Mori-
arity, Mike Williams, Bruce Kenwright
and J. P. Stewart, were captured at IL
o'clock last night near the Cross Roads
where the other prisoners were taken.
The capture was effected without shot
being fired. The men had a sack full of
chickens and were evidently prepared to
make feast.
The four men did not take their capture
much to heart. Mcriarity will lose a
credit of twenty months on his sentence,
and Williams will forfeit two years and
two months. All the officers are jubilant
over the successful and exciting man hunt
Of the last three days and nights.

CENSUS CLERKS
Probability That President
Roosevelt Will Have a
Fight With Congress
New York Sun SpscIaS Service

Washington, Jan. 22.-President Roose-
welt is likely to have a fight with the house
of representatives He has made a fat
declaration of hostility to the plan of the
house committee on census to unload sew
eral thousand clerks at present employed
in the census bureau upon the civil serv-
ice.
The committee, in obedience to instruc-
tions from the house, has revised the per-
manent census bill by including provi-
sion which places all Of the present clerks
in the bureau under the civil service and
makes them eligible for transfer to the
several departments. The civil service
reformers Of the country are up in arms
against the project on the ground that It
is a violation Of the primary principles of
the service. The president has requested
the committee to reopen consideration Of
the bill so that Messrs. Proctor and Foulke
of the civil service commission may ap-
pear before the committee and explain the
reasons why the bill ought not to pass in
the form it now has.

STATED BY OXNARD
Arguments of the Beet Sugar Inter-
- ---.----. estS Presented.

Arguments of the Beet Sugar Inter-
ests Presented.
Washington, Jan. 22.-The hearings on
Cuban reciprocity were resumed before
the ways and means committee to-day.
The beet sugar interests of the United
States occupied most of the time, being
represented by Henry r.. Oxnard, presi-
dent of the American Beet Sugar associa-
tion, and by delegations from beet sugar
states. =
Mr.. Oxnard made an extended state
ment. He said beet sugar production rep
resented a vast industry brought into
legal existence by the legislation Of con-
gress which had invited capital to invest.
Already the industry was fourishing in
eleven states with many people employed
and prospects of rapid development. He
continued:
Stripped Of sentimentality and all extra
neous considerations, and reducing the Cuban
demands for free or freer sugar to Its SIM
plest equation, 1t is this: Shall the United
States, through its agEieulturists, produce its
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, refine its
products or shall it, permit foreign lands to
export to 1t the raw material and content
itself merely with the refining? That is what
I fear would eventually come to pass If you
interfere at the present time in any way with
the existing production Of home sugar. Cap
ital is tinid to great Degree and should
congress decide that Cuban sugar must be
helped at the expense of American beet sugar,
then it will at first hesitate and eventually
turn its back upon the future further devel-
opment of beet sugar and throw its full force
into the tropical islands, which we have un-
duly favored and stimulated. Sugar produc-
ton in Cuba to-day is firmly established and
the chief industry of the island. Even our
=
very inception. Of its development in the
United States.
Mr.. Oxnard characterized the Cuban
proposition as most vicious, and asked
why it was that the American sugar in
terest should be singled out for sacri-
fee.
Mr.. Oxnard severely criticized the
American sugar trust and H. O.. Have
| meyer
| Chairman Payne asked Mr.. Oxnard as
| to the report that he had suggested an
agreement with the Cubans.
| Mr.. Oxnard answered that no such
! agreement had been made. There had
| been discussion in which it was sug-
| gested that if congress decided to grant
concessions 10 Cuba, it should be in the
| form of rebate. He also denied tha,
there was any trust in the beet sugar in
dustry.
Mr.. Richardson referred to statement
! by the witness that the sugar trust in
vestigated the Cuban reciprocity move
ment. Reading from President Roose-
velt's message recommending reciprocity
| Mr.. Richardson asked: "Do you mean to
say that was instigated in any such
way?"
! Mr. Grosvenor said this was an attempt
! to get the with ess to attack the president
Mr.. Oxnard disclaimed any such purpose
of refecting on the president, whose rec
| ommendation for Cuban reciprocity he
| believed was due to not having all the
| facts in his possession.

This the Probable Result Of
Attempts in Congress.
OPPOSITION rs STRONG
Friends of Cuba Disheartened Over
the Situation.
WE'VE DONE ENOUGH FOR CUBA
This the Argument of One Element
in the House, to Which Mr..
Stevens Belongs.
From The Journal Bareait. Room, 45, Pest
Building, WoshSn0tose.

From The Journal Basrea,s. Room, rs, Post
Building, WoshSrs0t0se.
Washington, Jan. Pat is understood
that the elements in congress which have
been insisting on sugar and tobacco tariff
concessions for Cuba have about reached
the conclusion that they can make no
headway. There is an organization in the
house, headed by the solid Michigan dele
CATION, which will try to prevent the
granting of these concessions. Enough
members are said to have gone in with
the Michigan members to make sure that
Cuba will get nothing; and learning this,
1t is claimed the friends OF Cuba are
pretty we'll discouraged.
In addition to the beet sugar congress-
men there are number of members who
oppose doing anyth more for Cuba on
the ground that we already have done
enough. These men, among whom is Con-
gressman Stevens of st. Paul, will vote
against the concessions for reasons hav-
ing nothing to do with beet sugar.
