Reason for the Gavel plan.


The gavel plan of Speaker Miller is
explained by the assertion of Indy
that it was at first his Qindly) pur-
pose to have roll calls on the Indy
bill. but as ii was seen the bill didn't
have the votes necessary to pass it the
gaveling process was decided upon.
Planned Against Traction Legislation.
| Following is Lindly's statement:
''When the speakership question began
to get hot along in December it was
charged in the Chicago papers that
Lorimer was organizing the house for
the purpose of passing another Allen
bill. A meeting of the organization
leaders was then held and il was
agreed that absolutely no traction leg
islatiOn should be tempered with at
this session. Miller was made speaker
with this understanding. and l took
the municipal corporations committee
Craftsmanship on the same basis.
Had to Modify tho Scheme.
when thinks got warm in Chicago
1 plainly saw that some action was
necessary and asked to be allowed to
report out municipal ownership bill.
There was no end to the pulling on this
question in the ranks. The trend of
events shows that it was not the in
tention to report out the Mueller billand
| will say here that intend to fight for
my own bill as long as have a breath
left. / am not dependent upon politics
for n living. and 1 believe am right.
l am willing TO take my chances now.
Indy Stands by the Speaker.
Il finally secured permission to re-
nort out bin now known as the Lind
~ bill. | w;lnted TO go before the house
with it and give roll calls thought 1
could win and the speaker and were
together on nearly every emergency
proposition which has arisen on the
subject. What was Miller to do when
the men who gave him his position
with the understanding that there was
to be no traction legislation insisted
that he carry out the bargain? / believe
that any brave. coura geous man. under
thesame circumstances, whether a mis-
take was made or not, would do as ne
did"

SAYS ROADS DELAYED CATTLE
T. w. Boone, Of New Mexico, Wants
Damages for Dead stock.

A suit was filed in the district court
at Ell Paso, T. w. Boone VS.. the South
ern Pacific and Rock Island railroad
companies, for damages. The case will
be heard in Judge Goggan's court.
T. w. Boone is a New Mexico cattle
man and alleges that November 10.
1902, he delivered to the defendants at
Deming, forty-six head of bulls and
seven calves. That due to unnecessary
delay in transit seven head died. and
that the whole lot shrank to the
amount Of $643; he claimed that the
roads held his stock on the way for
over 1874 hours. while sixty-fve hours
are all that are usually used in put
ting cattle on the Kansas City mar.
ket.
Therefore he prays damages for
$643. with interest and costs Of suit .

GEN. MILES

II General Miles bitter personal ha-
tired for the president and the admins
tration were not so well known as 1t
is, says the Colorado Springs Tele-
graph, his accumulation of rumor and
gossip from the unfortunate Filipinos
who have suffered from the results OF
the war, which he publishes, might to
some extent influence public opinion
adversely to the administration.
The phrasing of his sentences and
the manner in which he makes his
points show clearly his desire to take
advantage of every bit of gossip, sup
ported or unsupported, in order to in
jure the army and the administration.
In one instance he asserts that he
was told that 600 Fflipinos were suffo-
Gated by being packed in a small build
ing.
The absurdity of such a charge does
not seem to have to the gen.
eral.
He says that he asked the natives
to make a written report and send it to
him. but he never received the report.
This is not surprising.
He, however, explains 1t thus-and
here is where the animus shines forth
in all its badness.
Whether any influence was brought
to bear to prevent their statement,
either by persuasion or coercion, l am
not prepared to say at the present
time"
If he is not prepared to say, and If
he regards the honor OF the army or
the honor of his brother officers as
worthy of any consideration, why was
it necessary for him to make this base
insinuation?
1t did not suit his purpose to give
the army or his brother officers the
benefit of the doubt in forming any
of his conclusions, based upon these
complaints of a defeated people, who
were naturally resentful, and who nat.
urally felt that they had been ~unjustly
and harshly dealt with.
