TO EASE THE TRUST Pain.
Morgan Refers to the "Mush Poultice" Repub-
licans are Preparing for the People.
INV the Associated Press. !


Washington, d. c., Feb 10.-Thc State
hood Bill again came up in the Senate
today and Mr. Morgan, of Alabama
spoke for the Omnibus measure. In the
course of his remarks he referred to
the trusts action, on which he said, have
been kept back and will be kept back
until it is too late for discussion re-
garding them The time of the Senate
was being wasted on account of what he
termed "a peaceful political blockade
on the Statehood Bill, when more I'M
portant measures were awaiting action.
The world knew, he said, that that
trust bill was no moro than "a mush
poultice" to be put on the people to ale
viate pain. The object was not to defeat
the admission Of the territories as States,
but something else lies behind 1t, for
which there is no excuse.
The Rawlins' resolution regarding
court martial cases in the Philippines
was referred to the Committee on Phil
ippines by a yea and nay vote of Sc to %.
Mr.. Hanna presented the conference
report on the Department of Commerce
Bill, final vote on it being deferred until

Mr.. Lloyd was followed by former Com
gresham Charles NJ. Brumm, who occu-
pied the time up to the adjournment.
His argument was principally in sup
port of the demand for the recognition
of the union. Mr.. Brumm was directing
many or his remarks at Mr.. Baer, who
was sitting close to him. The Reading s
president gave him close attention and
when Mr.. Brumm in an oratorical flight
said that Mr.. Baer denied at the elev-
enth hour that he had ever said twenty
enc murders were committed in the coal
regions-that he did not deny it until the
statement was permitted to go over the
country and receive full effect, Mr.. Baer
jumped up and exclaimed:
Wasn't it q lie? Did l ever say it?''
The suddenness of the interruption evil
IDENTIFY did not disturb Mr.. Brumm, who
replied:
"One moment; will answer that"
Mr.. Baer was not satisfied and he said
with great earnestness: "You said I did
not deny it until the eleventh hour. What
do you mean?"
Il said you did not deny it until quite
recently"
To this Mr.. Baer replied ooh"
'If you had, waited" said Mr. Brumm
you would not have asked that ques-
ton"
what is it you want to make out-that
I did say it?" persisted Mr.. Baer.
Mr. Brumm: mo, l said you did not
say it."
That's different" remarked Mr..
Baer. as Chairman Gray raped for order
and requested NJ. Brumm to proceed with
his argument
Mr.. Brumm, however, took a parting
shot and retortcd to Mr. Baer's remarks:
