Gillett (Rep.. Mass.) said they had been
declared. They were at the beginning
TO establish order, and now to educate
the people in the art Of f-Goyernment.
To say more would be useless, fer Con-
gress could not bind its successors. II
IN twenty years from now the FilipinCs
desired independence. and had arrived
at State where they were fitted for it.
ne had no doubt the United States would
give 1t to them. But this Congress could
not forsee the conditions OF that time
and Mr.. Gillett said he preferred to
leave the problems OF the future to the
powers Of the future.
Touching Public Lands.
Further explaining the provisions of
the bill. Mr.. Cooper said that for n
period OF five years public lands could
not be alienated by purchase or they
would be subject to sale under execu-
tion. A man could not raise money
on them from a distance; 1t was intend
ed to compel holders to go to the ISL
hnds and cultivate the lands and pre-
vent the exploitation of the islands by
lon-resideIts.

| tors arose over the discussion of a reso
luton offered by Mr.. Bailey last week
which called upon the State Department
for the papers in the case of Beilinberi
against Scott, including. all communica-
tions sent to and received from the am.
bassador 20 Mexico.
Outcome of Scott Case.
Mr.. Bailey stated his belief that DR.
Scott, an American citizen, was being
/ swindled out OF his money in Mexico
He had made an important sale OF land
which gave him handsome profit, but
/ the Mexican courts had allowed Beilin-
1 berg to attach the money and other prop
erty. and then had turned everything
over to Beilinberg's custody before there
had been any trial and without requir-
ing him to give any bond.
DR.. Scott is citizen of Texas. and he
finally appealed to Senator Bailey. after
he had tried TO secure some redress
through the State Department and
failed.
Mr. Bailey stated that he had met with
such distinctions in his efforts to obtain
informatio that he had been forced TO
the conclusion that Solicitor Penfield
was either grossly incompetent or was
shamefully Indifferent to the rights of
American citizens in foreign land
Mr.. Scott, an American citizen. find
ing his rights denied him by a Mexican
court. had appealed. Mr.. Bailey said. to
the American ambassador. and the am
bassador's advice to Scott was TO leave
th. country.
Mr.. Bailey stated the obstacles he had
til
said that on the occasion Of his last in
terview With the solicitor of tine State
Department he had declined TO examine
certain papers offered to him and he said
he would have them called for by the
Senate. And that was the reason. he
added, why he had offered the resolu-
t.cn.
He said that If his information was
correct. the American ambassador would
have to be recalled ard the solicitor of
the State Department would have to re
sign mis- place. He said that Ambassa-
dor Clayton's course had been attributed
to the fact of his connection with a
mining enterprise IN Mexico.
Mr.. Penfeld Defended.
Mr. Fairbanks first came to the de-
tense OF Solicitor Penheld, whom he
spoke of as an able and conscientious
officer. Statements in exculpation Of
Clayton were made by Sen
atcrs Patterson and Hanna.
Then followed the tilt bstween Messrs. |
Bailey and Beveridge. Mr.. Beveridge said
that Mr.. Penheld was a personal friend |
and that ne was as honorable as the |
Senator from Texas or any other Sena- |
tor. "The Senator has said that an at
tack On an innocent man is reprehensi- |
Bile. He says that the solicitor OF the |
State Department is either grossly in
or shamefuily Indifferent |
This is an unwarranted attack on an in
nocent man"

''o to that Characterization of his
.uage and asked Mr. Beveridge 10

After further controversy between
the two Senators MIR. Bailey remarked
that he could fathom the intelligence OF

office. He had just had. he said. tele-
phonlc communication with the Solici-
tor. and had been assured that every
raper in the case had been at Senator
Baileys disposal and that the Senator
had seen them all.
Mr. Bailey contradicted the latter part
of that statement. Mir. Bailey called
the attention OF ;hc Senate to tn. tact
that he had given the Senator from In
diana Mr.. Beveridge) the opportunity to
withdraw the offensive words he had

He did not leave the Senate chamber,
however, and was forced to meet him
