It IS UP TO GARDNER NOW
"Monstrous" To Recall Him Says
Lodge.
HIS RECORD IN THE ARMY.
Major Cornelius Gardner Is the Central
Figure of "A Warm Debate-His Charges
Must be Investigated First-He Must
Make Good or Face Court Martial.
Warm Senate Debate.


The senate warmly discussed the
Philippine question Saturday, the ma
jority members taking an INNING. Up
10 this time the minority practically
has had clear field in the debate, the
policy of the majority being to permit
the criticism of the Democratic mem
bers of the body to proceed without in
terruption.
Mr.. Spooner. of Wisconsin,; Mr..
Lodge, OF Massachusetts, and Mr.. For
aker, of Ohio, spoke in defense OF the
administration. of the army, and OF
Gov. Taft. They spoke hotly, and al
most unrestrainedly. The result was
one of the most spirited debates that
has yet occurred on the Philippine
question. While the debate took a
wide range, it revolved around the
resolution calling for Maj. Cornelius
Gardener in the Philippine Islands, to
appear as soon rs possible before the
Philippine committee rs witness.
cablegram from Gen. Chaffee was read
by Mr.. Lodge. saying that 1t was I'M
practicable for Maj. Gardener TO leave
the islands at present, as he was an
essential figure I'm Il court or inquiry
which was investigating the conditions
OF the province of which he was pro-
vincial governor.
Senator Lodge in referring to the
matter of the immediate calling OF
Gardener said: 1T is perfectly mon
strous to bring Maj. Gardener here ana
allow him to make his accusations In
n committee room of the senate, when
the officers against whom he makes
them are thousands of miles away In
the Philippines.
