ILESSLER SAYS THAT DOBLIN LIED
Representative Claims There No
Colusion to Obtain Doblns First Story.

Lessler, in which the latter had told
him he did not want to hurt the Hol-
land people by his testimony and that
he (Roberts) had suggested Lessler
make statement exonerating the
company. He said this statement
was drawn up by the officers of the
company.
An executive session was held by
the committee at the conclusion of
the afternoon session and considera-
ton was given to findings the commit
tee would report to the house. At
ter several resolutions had been pro-
posed and they had been heard as
to wording of report, sub-commit-
tee consisting of Foss of Illinois, Day
ton of West Virginia, Taylor of Ohio.
Meyer of Louisiana, and Kitchin of
North Carolina, was appointed to
draw up a set Of findings for its final
action.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The house
committee on naval affairs today con-

investigation of the charges made by
Representative Lessler that a corrupt
attempt had been made to influence
his vote in that committee on the
proposition to purchase submarine
torpedo boats.
Lessler went on the stand again to-
day and denied in positive terms that
there was any collusion between him
self and Doblin as to the testimony
to be given before the committee.
He maintained that his story as orig
inally told was the truth and that
Doblin's was false in every particular.
He admitted that he had not been
anxious to have the investigation go
on.

stand and told of conversation with

DOUBTS GOOD INTENTIONS OF
UNITED STATES.
CANADA HAS NO CHANCE
Boundary Dispute Will Be Decided in
Favor Of America-EneIishmen
Too Lenient.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 2S.-A special
to the Times from Vancouver, B. c.,
says: Sir Charles Hilbert Tupper,
who won his title for his able work
as a jurist in the interests of Canada
at the sessions of the Bering sea COM
mission in Paris, on tnat occasion
handling the case for Canada said
to the Times correspondent in speak
ing of the proposed commission to
settle the boundary question, that it
simply meant that the United States
was going to euchre Canada out OF
her rights. He said further that Eng
land will never fight the United States
for one inch of Canadian territory.
"The United States knows this
said he, land is sure of her ground
when she arbitrates with Great
Britain over Canadian rights. The
three similar arbitrations known to
the world proves it.
"The United States knows what she
is doing when she agrees to COM
mission of three on each side, for on
the side of Great Britain there will be
one and perhaps two, Engiishmen,
and where Canada is concerned in
an arbitration Englishmen are dis
posed to lean toward the United
States on the ground of justice, the
merits of the case and strict impair
tiality They are very careful as to.
the legal phase of the question
ION the other hand, American jur-
lists on an arbitration, never swerve
a hairs breadth on any ground. If
the English jurists favor the Ameri-
cans, Canada loses. The United
States will say:
Canada could not prove it's case
and we have the territory So the
United States will doubtless win in
any event.

already had been driven from the
wreck by the flames. One of those
who tried to take out a man pinned
found that he was held down by one
leg near the angle and seeing it would
be useless to do anything else, is said
to have finally severed the mans leg
and then carried him to one of the
parlor cars. The rescued man was
badly burned.
When the engine plowed into the
rear car it partly split the car open
and at the same time lifted it up

This car was the first to take fire,
and most of those in it are dead.
Some of them are believed to be be-

Wannamaker Hurt.
One passenger only was severely
hurt on the Royal Blue. He was
walking in the aisle of one of the
cars when the crash came. lie was
hurled through the window. One of
his hands was cut and he was badly
bruised. He said he was a son of
John Wannamaker of Philadelphia.
He did good work later ON after his
hand had been bandaged.
A Westfeld doctor went into the
wreck and bandaged and treated the

afterward suffocated OR burned to
DEATH
Hit by Another Train.
Just as the wreck occurred an east
bound train was approaching on track
No. 2. Before it could be stopped
the engine crashed into the wreckage
which had been hurled ON to the
track but it was lisht st IF and the
engine brushed it aside and crushed
part of it under the wheels. The
train ran it's own length by the wreck,
stopped and after asoertaining it had
sustained no injury itself, proceeded
to New York.
Statement of Officials.
The railroad officials say the sig
nails were in working order and that
they were properly set, but that the
express overran and dashed into the
block in which the slower train al
ready was.
Railroad men here say the engineer
probably failed to notice the signal,
and even when he saw the tail lights
OF the train ahead did not realize for
a moment that they were on the same
track as he was. Travelling over 60
miles an hour with a heavy train be-
hind him, it was impossible to stop
when he realized the truth.
The engineer of the express train,
John S. Davies, was not the regular
engineer. He was, however, familiar
with the running of the train.
Blame Engineer Davis.
Later-The blame for the accident
is placed by the railroad officials on
Engineer Davis Of the Philadelphia &
Reading express and according to a
policeman, who took Davis from the
smashed cab, Davis admitted that he
had taken chances and disregarded
the danger signals because he expect
ed to see the red light change to
white as he reared them. They did
net change, however, and it was too
late to stop and in an instant the
crash came.

very close vote, the president of the
senate, Mr.. Higgins, casting the de.
Gliding vote and killing the bill
However, as a special favor to Sen
ator Sherlock, the father of the bill,
it was reconsidered. Today the sen
ate chamber was swarmed with wo-
men. Not only were the gallery seats
crowded, but the floor of the senate
was also filled. Many prominent wo.
men advocates of equal rights were
present.
Cause Ably Presented.
The senate committee occupied
seats, sitting like "a. jury, on the plat
form u the secretary of the senate.
In che audience were noticed many
distinguished men of the state, who
took a deep interest in the argu-
ments presented by the ladies' 1t
must be admitted that the cause of
equal rights has never had more elo-
,luent or ADLER champions than it had
today and the earnestness of the
speakers created a profound impress
sion.
Just what effect the arguments had
upon the grave and dignified' sena-
tors remains to be seen. 1t will take
a two-thirds vote of the senate to
pass the measure and there is not
much likelihood that the former vote
will be changed materially The la
dies insist that they only want the
senate to- submit the question to the
voters of the state.
Bill to Be Printed.
AS soon as The committee meeting
adjourned the senators went into ex-
ecutive session and unanimously de-
cided to report back to the senate
that the bill be printed. The woman
suffragists believe they have scored
victory in this, as this action will
place the bill on general orders and
it is likely to come up before the SEN
ate in committee of the whole and be
the subject of heated debate.

the house sustained the position of
Hays. Speaker White also stood out
against the governor.

Mr.. Rice tried to have an amend
ment passed giving the state board

had consulted the governor about the
matter and this was his wish. Gov
ernor White pointed out that the
board of equalization only deals with
railroad assessments and during nine
months of the year has nothing to do.
He offered an amendment giving the
board the right to employ an extra
clerk three months in the year. Mr..
Rice withdrew his amendment and
the bill was favorably reported
Delay, Delay!
Delay, delay, is the program OF the
Heinzeites in the Harney matter and
the Silver Bow election contest. 1t
is asserted by certain Heinze lobby
lists that the Harney impeachment
proceeding will not reach the senate
during this session. 1t is their policy
to tie the matter up in the committee
as long as possible and drag the hear
ing along until it is too late to do
anything. On this line of action
they have made fair start. They
expect to offer evidence in rebuttal
and take up as much time as possible.
1t is not very likely that the com
mittee will be able to report this
week.
Nothing Done.
In the election contest it was ex-
pected to make a start in the count
ing of the ballots this afternoon, but
nothing was done. 1t was stated that
the men employed as clerks could not
be got together, so it was impossible
to make start. The senate has add
ed four men to the list of clerks to
count the vote ON senator in Silver
Bow county.
These clerks will divide in two
rooms and recount the ballots. 1t is
expected some of the members or the
subcommittee on. privileges and elec-
tions will be present all the time. The
clerks will only work one eight-hour
shift each day. There are some, 49,
900 ballots to count, so that it will
be at least two weeks before the re-
suit is announced.

ABUSED THE COMMITTEE.
Labor Legislator Creates a Scene i
the House.
Especial to The Gazette.]

Helena, Jan. 29.-Representative
Ganger, labor representative in the
house from Deer Lodge county, and
follower of Mr.. Heinze, created a
scene On the floor this morning by
abusing the committee to whom was
referred the company store bill. The
committee reported adversely on the
passage of the bill and this raised the
ire of Ganger.
1t is now claimed that if the bill
ever had a show for favorable action
it was placed in the list of measures
for defeat by reason of the action of
the member from Deer Lodge.
