they do not then the statement that

any member of the bar is absolutely
without foundation, Being of the opinion

De Armond and Grosvehor Spar.
(By the Associated Press.l

Washington April 5.-The proceedings
in the House today were enlivened by
speeches by Mr.. DeArmond and Mr..
GIosvenor, the former attacking the Re-
puhlicans for failure to order an investi-
cation into the postoffice charges ard to
revise the tariff, and the latter vigorously
defending the Republican party for It's
policies and lauding President Roosevelt
for the part he played in the postal in
vestigation, the passage OF the Cuban
reciprocity law and the treaty with Pan
ANA for the obstruction of an isthmian
canal.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Prince Olls.),
in vigorous speech predicted friction
between the general staff of the army and
the Secretary OF War.
The Military Academy bill was passed
without amendment.
Mr.. DcArmcnd criticised the Reru5li-
cans for failing TO pass certain measures
which he dec Jared the people were de
Gnanding. The reason is, he said, they
prefer going into the election without
giving the people sample OF their leg
Isl. tion.'
He re-opened the subject of the postal
scandals, and declared that t..o ReEu6.
cans feared All investigator would un-
cover duultlCHal ifdUuS siiu llSIelCIc

He attacked the tariff policy CT the Re.
publicans and said that party dare not
touch the tariff for fear the evil doer
who are the benefciaries of the system
will withdraw their support and let the
Republican party fall. Speaking of Re-
publican members of the House Mr.. De-
Almond said that individually you arc
nf nd h,,t
as an organization here you are afraid Of
your shadow"
He secured Democratic applause when
he asked the Republicans what they had
dcne except to perpetuate abuses and
cr.at appropriations. Referring to the
President, he spoke of the situation at
the White House as executive chaos
and inquired what the President mad
done to commend himself to the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Grosvenor devoted himself to a de-
ferse of the Republican party Mr. De-
Arm ond, nc said, had indicted the leaders
Oil the floor of the House for an attempt
to cover up crime. What crime ?" Mr..
Grosvenor asked, has been committed in
arr one of the branches of the admin
lstraton of the Federal government and
By whom?"
He sarcastically remarked that when
a member of the House knew enough
to hurl in the face of the majority of
tl.,, House the charge that they were COW
er,ng UP and protecting crimes 'he ought
to know enough to make some statement
that somebody, somewhere, had commit
ted some crime.
"Why are you opposed to investigating

For the manifest reason" said Mr.

A HIGH HANDED PROCEEDING.
But for Our Counsel Miller Little and
Washburn Would be in Prison.

Chicago, April 5.-A special cable dis
patch dated Tlen Tsin, received today by
the Daily News from Richard H. Little
staff correspondent of the News, says:
While the Daily News dispatch boat.
FaWan has been permitted by the Russians
TO depart from the harbcr of New
Chwang. the Muscovites thus far have
failed to release from prison our two
japanese servants. The lives of these in
offensive persons may even be in danger.
The Fawan left Chefoo last week. and
at that time it was not known there thar
the Russians had proclaimed martial law
at New Chwang, which was supposed TO
be a neutral port that was free to all
comers.
Mr.. Washburn and myself Were great
| ly astonished, therefore, when on arriving
at the bar of New Chwang harbor the
PaWan was seized by Russian officials,
who came out to us in a steam launch
The muster of our crew revealed the pres
ence of two japanese, which caused great
excitement among our captors. Our offer
to retire Immediately was declined. and
soldiers with fixed bayonets soon boarded
the vessel seized the servants and drag
ged them from the ship, defying the pro-
lection of the British flag under which it
sailed, being of British ownership. The
arrest was made at the mouth of the
harbor which is not recognized by Great
Britain and the United States as be-
longing to Russia.
ION tn Fawans arrival at an anchor
age marines were placed on board and
the captain was informed that the forts
would fire upon the vessel and destroy it
if any attempt should be made to leave
the harbor. During the examination of
the japanese servants. the British consul
remained apathetic, though he said that
the servants would probably be executed.
On being pressed to render assistance he
declined to do anything. even when put
in possession of all the facts. The ex-
ctement among the Russians continued
as they insisted that we were in sym
pathy with Japan, and had brought to the
harbor Japanese officers disguised as SER
wants previous to an attack by Admiral
Togo's feet.
'Mr. Washburn and myself were placed
under arrest and only the vigorous pro-
tests of United States Consul Miller. who
was very active in our behalf and very
kind, prevented us from being sent to
some prison in the interior. When Consul
Miller secured our release on Sunday we
expected that our servants would be re-
leased also, but the Russians have not yet
yielded to the protests made against the
Imprisonment OF Inc two harmless Japan
Iese.

SAYS HAST THE NERVE
Judge PEBBLES Remarks
to Robson Bar.
Will Have Some One to Bring Charges
of Contempt Against the Law
yers Who Acted in the
Matter.

Judge r. 3. PEBBLES, of Northampton
County, arrived in the city yesterday. He
came to Raleigh from Lumberton, place
to which the ears and eyes of many have
lately been turned.
Judge PEBBLES was asked what he pro-
posed to do in the matter of procee ling
in contempt case against the lawyers or
the Robson bar, who are said to nave
made IA boycott OF the recent court.
1T would not have been pleasant fer
the Clerk of Court to have sworn out u
BILL" said he, so l will have some one
else on information and behalf to do So,
and the matter will come up in that shape.
Here is the full text of the remarks
of Judge PEBBLES to the Robson bar on
Monday:
Gentlemen of the Ear: In the issue OF
the News and Observer of March 31st l
read the following articles:
BOYCOTT A JUDGE.
Robson Lawyers Opposed to PEBBLES
Presiding-Decline to Set Calendar
and Agree to Continue Docket,
Being Unwilling to Appear
Before Him.
Especial to The News and Observer)
Lumberton, N c., March 30.-The
Robson Bar, ct a meeting called to fix
the calendar for the April term of SuDe-
rior Court, Judge PEBBLES Judge, unanl-
mously declined to set calendar and
agreed to- continue the docket. This ac-
ton was taken by reason of reports re-
ceived from other couItios in which this
judge has held court of his discourtesy
to counsel unfairness and particularly, a
notable instance being the Haywood
case. Lawyers here are unwilling to ap-
pear before him in any capacity. 1t is
likely that the May term will also be
continued unless an exchange OF judges
is ordered
could not believe that a party of in
telligent lawyers, sworn officers of the
court, could for a moment have thought
nj taking such a course. l came here to-
day and opened court as usual and found
nineteen cases on the trial docket. All OF
these, about which there is any contest,
were continued by consent. This leads
NE to believe that the action indicated
by the article in the paper was in fact
taken by the bar of Robson County. L
took no notice OF the attacks made upon
my trial of the Haywood case Tor the
reason they were vague and indefinite,
and were aimed at me and not at my
office, and for the further reason that |
felt satisfied that all intelligent, unpreJu-
diced lawyers, who read the proceedings
OF the case, would sustain my rulings
But if the article just read from the
News and Observer is true, the bar OF
Robeson County has made an attack upon
my office as well as upon me. 1t has set
at defiance both the law and the Court.
