REP. LoUDENsLAGER.
Dinner Given to Him at Union League
Club, Philadelphie.

There was an exodus of congressman Off
Gals and politicians from Washington Sat
urday afternoon to attend a banquet given
to Representative Loudenslager at the
Union League Club in Philadelphia that
evening by his tri-state friends. Mr.: Lou
denslager represents the Camden, n. j.,
district, but Philadelphia and Wilmington
both claim share in him on account of
his efficient work in aiding in securing APP
preparations for the Improvement of the
Delaware river, and because he is always to
interests of the people of the region with
and in business.
1t was appropriate, therefore, that the
governor Of Pennsylvania, the governor of
New Jersey and the governor of Delaware
should join in the testimonial to the pooli-
lar congressman, and that prominent men
from the three states should be present.
The dinner was held in the beautifully
decorated banquet room Of the club. Mr..
j. Hampton Moore, treasurer of Philadel-
phia, presided and introduced the speakers
of the evening. Mr.. Loudenslager made Il
speech in a happy vein which was well re-
ceived. Governor Stone of Pennsylvania
and Governor Hum Of Delaware followed.
Other speeches were made by First Assist
Thurston, Representative Sibey of Penn
sylvania. Representative Richardson of
Alabama, Representative Lessler OF New
York and former Mayor Warwick of Phila-
delphia.
A special car over the Pennsylvania rail-
road took the Washington contingent to the
banquet, returning after midnight.

to the House committee on naval affairs
Saturday by a delegation of dentists from

a limited number of dentists in the navy

it was in the interest of these bills that the
delegation appeared. Those who were
heard were: Dr. w. Donnelly, secretary of
the National Dental Association; DR.. w.

New Tariff Will Hurt Chi

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
During the debate Of the third reading of
the tariff bill in the reichstag yesterday
it was evident from many speeches deliver
ed by members of the majority that the
bill is aimed chiefly at the United States.
This was clear even when the United States
was not Eamed. for it was understood that

States, which most of the newspapers this
morning failed to print. The Deutsche

however, publishes DR.. Paasches remarks

ment's policy with regard to future treaty
negotiations. ,-.-------------'---- --
I'VE expect" said DR.. Paasche, that the
government viii undertake thorough re-
vision of all treaties, giving the most favor
ed nation advantages. Promises of this
kind were made to us in committee. We
have absolutely no occasion to concede any
thing to such nations are glad to take
what we give other countries without max
ing us any concessions in return. The Unit
ed States has introduced the limitation of
the most favored nation clause. We have
every reason to act in precisely the same
manner"

he had been in the interests of the hous, he
represents, said the bill would depriv., the
American packers of nearly all their Ger

CODE COMMISSIONS REPORT.
Proposed Legislation Regarding Polit-

The Department of Justice has trans
mitted to Congress a report of the code
commission, comprising proposed amend
ments to the House bill to revise and codify

senator, representative or delegate to Con-
gress, or any employee Of the government,

ton for any political purpose from any Off
Ger, clerk employee of the United States.
Further provision is made that no person
shall be permitted to solicit such subscrip-
lions in any government building, and the
status of an employee is not to be changed
by reason of refusal to contribute for polit-
ical purposes.
Another amendment provides penalty Of
not exceeding twenty years or a fine OF
5000 or both, for any person who shall
use any uniaw fuI violence against any pas
senger on a railway train, or any officer or

COLLECTOR DE BAwN's CASE.
Evidence on Both Sides Referred to
Solicitor O'Connel1.

The case of B. P. De Bawn, collector of
internal revenue at Terre Haute, Ind, who
is charged with collecting political assess
ments, has been referred to the solicitor or
the treasury for an opinion as to whether
the testimony submitted warrants his re-
moval from the service.
Some time ago representations were made
to the civil serv ce commission which tended
to show that De Bawn had violated the
civil service law by soliciting campaign
funds, and the matter was brought to the
attention of Secretary Shaw, with the re-
quest that he make formal complaint
against him. This done, and Mr..
Foulke of the civil service commission was
detailed to investigate the fact. De Bawn
denied the charges and submitted consld-
cradle evidence to support his plea of IN
nocence. Evidence on the other side. how
ever was not wanting, and the whole record
has been turned over to Solicitor OConnell
for an opinion to which side has the
weight of evidence.
